all the community, great and small, black and white, man, wo- mean, and child, was in commotion, forming lines from the houses to the water side, like lines of ants from an ant-hill; everybody was laden with some article of household furniture; while the busy thouscwives plied backwards and forwards along the lines, helping everything forward by the nimbleness of their tongues.By degrees a fleet of boats and canoes were piled up with all kinds of household articles; ponderous tables, chests of drawers resplendant with brass ornaments; quaint corner cupboards; beds and bedsteads; with any quantity of pots, kettles, frying-pans, and\u2019 Dutch ovens.In each boat embarked a whole family, from the robustious burgher down to the cats, dogs, and little negroes.In this way they set off across the mouth of the Hudson, under the guidance of Oloffe the Dreamer, who hoisted his standard on the leading boat.This memorable migration took place on the first of May, and has long becn cited in tradition as the grand moving.The anniversary of it was piously observed ariong the \u2018sons of the pilgrims ef \u2018Communipaw,\u2019 by turning their houses topsy-turvy and carrying all the furniture through the streets in emblem of the swarming parent hive; and this is the real origin of the universal agitation and \u2018moving,\u2019 by which this most restless of cities is turned out of doors cz every May Day.\u2019 .THE.WARRIOR CRAB.The most savige specimen of the crab ies is found in Japan, seeming to aah) waothing but Bghting, to.delight in methibg Half so much.minute ANIMALS AT PLAY.Animals have a keen sense of \u2018making believe,\u2019 which is the essence of play.A child\u2019s first game is bopeep\u2014make believe.When a couple of dogs have à jolly tussle, they make belicee to engage in deadly combat! A striking instance of this occurred to a writer some years back.He gave a- dead mouse.to a kit ten.It was the first time she had seen one, and she sniffed at it inquisitively before deciding to toms it about.A pair.of slippers lay on the'loor.She dropped the mouse into one of them, and immediately proceeded to look for it most zealously in the other slipper till T took up the first, which contained her booty.Then she showed thet it was no veal lack of memory that had sent hex:on the bootless search.\u2014 Buffalo \u2018Express.\u2019 Makes A Living From | Cats.CALIFORNIA RECLUSE WHO KEEPS! THEM FOR RENT TO BUSINESS .MEN.There is an odd little man named Ech- nier, who lives in an, odd little house in the heart of the busiest portion of San Francisco, who earns his bread oddly enough.His business is the raising of cats, which he puts into warehouses, stores, and other places infested with rats and mice, and his income is derived from payment for the services of his pets.\u2018Raising cats is my business\u2019 he said.\u201cWe get along all right, don\u2019t we, kitty?Kitty settled down on his knee and purred her answer.\u2018I see enough of them to like them,\u2019 he went on, \u2018for 1 feed between a hundred and fifty and two hundred every morning.This,\u2019 pointing to a large basket, \u20181 take full of mest, and that can in the eorher is filled with milk.I go first to the warehouses on the docks, and then come further uptown to the business houses.\u2018I do not often sell a cat.I raise them, train them for a while, and then place them in some warehouse or store where the services of à cat aré necessary.Then, for so much a month, I take care of them.Would you like to see where they play?If you come this way 1 will show you.He opened a doar and took me into a queer little court.And the oats! If there were many in the house, there are many more at here.TWO TERRIBLE FIGHTERS, spies another of his kind he sorapes his claws together in rage; challenging him to the combat.Not a moment is wasted ip i but at 8 they wo, hammer and tongs.It sounds liké two socks grinding against one another as their claws rattle against the hard hells, The sand flies as the warriors push each other hither and thither, until at last one of them strétches himself out in the sun, tired to death.But he does not beg for mercy or attermpt to run away, only feebly rubbing his claws together in defiance of the foe.That foe comes closer and with his claws trem- big with joy at his victory, the con: queror catches hold of ame claw of the vanquished crab, twists it util it comes off, and bears away the pulpitating lirsb ss a trophy of his prowess.is a battle between warrior crabs.\u2014Cleveland \u2018 Leader.\u2019 THE DANCEROUS KNIFE.CANCER ROOTS cannot or by be removed by of ion, plasters.They only give tem relief, and in most cases the didease rns in a worse form, We would be gad to send partioulars of a patniess met which leading physicians are Dow hd cures are remarica.W.M.STOTT & JURY.Bowmanville, Ost Asleep in a box of excelsior is a beanty.He is marked sractly likes tiger.As you pass through, narrow, yellow eyes glance at you.If you bend to stroke him, there is s sudden whirl, and the next you see of the tiger be is on the roef of a shed, gasing at you in à rather unpleasant msu- ner.\u2018Doesn\u2019t like to be disturbed,\u2019 seys Mr.|.Echnier.Down a pair of rickety stairs into the poor little garden, snd you hear a great scampering of little feet, and now the rooms are full of disturbed kittens.They have just been fed, and Uke to deep a bit.After a while we go back into the house, and Mr.Echnier tells me how he logt his wife a few years 5g0, and mince then he has Lived all alone on the d floor of the shanty.\u2018My only son is employed in the Smitheonisn institution in Washington,\u2019 he says, \u2018It's a bit lonely here;

and if earth and meteors happen to reach the crossing together, we have a meteor-shkower.The little bodies |Tush into our atmosphere and burn.\u2018Al though the meteors in such \u2018a shower are all really \u2018moving in parallel lines, perspective mékes them appear\u2019 to diverge from 4 single point in the heavens called dte \u2018fadiant\u2019.: 7 5700 The most remarkable of these meteor- flocks is one that makes its circuit around the sun in a little more than thirty-five yeurs, in- a long, oval orbit which the earth crosses en Nov.14.If is called the \u2018Leonid\u2019 swarm, becanse its radiant is in the constellation Leo.\u2018Magnificent displays from it occurred in the flock is so extensive that.it takes more.than a year io pass the junction, the main body for several years.It was this advance-guard which this year gave us the feeble showers that have attracted so much attention.Next year, or perhaps in 1900, we shall encounter the swarm itself, and the sky wil be filed with flying meteors for hours.Whether the spectacle will be visible in this part of the world, or not, eznnot be certainly foretold.The radiant is above the horizon only after nridnight, and the shower is visible only where it occurs between midnight and dawn of local time.\u2014 Youth's Compgh- ion.\u2019 : ee A SENSIBLE CHINAMAN.\u2018Taking a walk one day through the commissariat stores in Hong Kong with a friend,\u201d says a correspondent, \u2018I came to & portion of that establishment where four Chinamen were emptying a large tub of rum, which they were carrying in gallon measures to another portion of the building.Addressing myself to one who was apparently the head of the party, I inquired : \u2018Do you like rum, John ?* \u2018No, sir\u2019 said the Chinaman.\u2018Why not } \u2018Rum not proper, sir ;

CHAPTER II.\u2014MAGLOIRE HIMSELF.\u2018The simple inherit folly.\u2019 The little narrative which the young men Nicolas Laurière had told old Caron was quite true.He himself ritber enviea Magloire.Two or three umes he had been on the point of relinquishing the plain fare, the hard work, the inclement climate, to try for a living somewhere else.He was not the enthusiast Mikel was.He and Jon- cas were trappers because their fathers had been trappers\u2014they had to be; there was nothing else for them to be.Yes, he quite envied Magloire, though he understood fully that whereas at Bourg-Marie one was one\u2019s own master, that would be all very different in another place.About the same age as Magloire, at the time of the latter's disappearance the same temptations attracted him, for tidings of the great world outside were slowly coloring the life and minds of his native countryside.Here and there an ambitious maiden of eighteen, who found her way up to the large English-speaking -towns and became a waitress, a nursemaid, a maid-of- all-work, would return at rare intervals and pour into the ears of her family tales of the opulence, the size, and the population of Three Rivers or St.Johns.* Sometimes a paper, would arrive bearing in rough-marked edges witness of a young stripling from a farm or \u2018shanty\u2019 who liad found friends and tortune in the Upper Province or in the States, and thie paper would be hinded about from bouse to house as the rarest\u2019 of literary treasures.And whenever this kind of thing overtook Lauriére he would grow restive and mcody, walk away from the company, and, staring blankly at the flat dull landscape, go for a walk of ten miles to Mad Dog Creek, and return hungry and cured.On this cold night Nicolas was discontented, although no distinctions of caste troubled him.He strode away from the ranger\u2019s little dwelling along the hard gray rutted road at a great pace.On either side of him stretched the forest, dark, inscrutable, yet not forbidding to one who so often, both with Caron and by himself, had threaded the edge of its cavernous recesses.The road lay perfectly straight.for a mile, then turned sharply round, disclosing the sullen river, not yet frozen, but soon to be, so black and opaque it lay beneath the faintly glimmering stars.A dog ap- pesred, running swiitly.It.approached Laupidre,, steels bine, ~ seemed -te- approsu, wagged his tail, and returned whenc: he came, followed by the trapper.In a few moments the red light of one window appeared sharply in the gloom, and Nicolas, vaulting over the low snake- fence, rapped upon the door of the cabin belonging to the widow Péron, the mother of Louis and Jack, the travellers who were now home for a holiday from the high pressure and other modern disabilities of life in Milwaukee.The door was opened by Pacifique, the third and youngest son.He had never left his mother nor his native valley, and bore with Nicolas- a striking contrast to the other three young men who were lounging in the small kitchen.The shortest of these was Jack Péron, fat, olive- skinned, almost to lividness, with podgy hands,and a laughing mouth.Next to him was his brother Louis, thinner, slightly gaunt and weird, with a suggestion of the traditional stage Lucifer in his pointed eyebrows, beard and chin.The tallest of the three, however, Magloire Caron himself, exceeded his companions in appointments, dress, and general bearing, as much as in height.He was, indeed, unusually and exceptionally tall.His hair, of that harsh jet-black stiff lind so frequently found among his countrymen, was parted in the middle, and, after being drawn away on either side in two well-marked horns, was plastered down everywhere else with the newest thing in pomatum;

so regular-featured, and Pacifique was crooked; so self-pos- sessed and graceful, and Pacifique was stunted, crippled, worn, and shy.The veuve Péron admired him.Had he not been the means of setting up her own boys?and, although they did not appear to have brought home very much ready- money, still they were beautifully dressed, and altogether different from the young men in the village, and spoke about an account in the savings-bank.What more could the widow ask?Admire Magloire?Bien cuai\u2014for a splendid fellow! Nicolas Lauridre admired him perhaps most of all.As Magloire was, so he, Lauriérz should be some day.- He had no grandfather with medieval notions to threaten his peace or interfere with his projects.He would leave this place, come what might.And just as he reach: ed this decision-\u2014for the hundredth time\u2014Magloire, seeing him enter, beckoned him to his side by the fire, around which the little circle was gathered.His manner was nonchalant, yet assertive, and impressed Lauridre mére™than ever with its novelty and importance.M \u201cSay, then, you,\u2019 he said, \u2018Nicolas Lau- rière,\u201d relapsing into his native Franco- Canadian, for he spoke English all the time when in Milwaukee, \u2018have you geen the grandfather ?Lauridre recounted in the same tongue the outlines of the conversation.Delicacy for, and admiration of, Magloire prevented him from disclosing the whole state of the old man\u2019s feelings.But Magloire was quick, and able to see through a simple type like Lauridre at once.He laughed, and his laugh was not altogether pleasant to hear.He crossed his long legs in evident comfort before the widow\u2019s fire, and taking from his pocket a penknife, commenced to cut and clean his nails.He had been reminded of a little dirt in them by the sight of the aggregate contained in those of Lauridre.\u2018Speak English,\u2019 he said to the latter.\u2018We don\u2019t hear much French out west, do we, Jack ?So my grandfather knows I was a coachman that time.Well, I tell him myself yet as well as you tell him for me.He was angry.eh ?Laurière nodded.e watched his friend clean, pare, file and polish his finger-nails without it ever occurring to him similarly to treat his own.A law unto himself is every man in Bourg- Marie.\u2018Why, said Magloire, finishing his nail- toilet, and beginning on a cigar, which he produced with a grand air from an inner mysterious pocket, and lit with a \u2018perfumed match, \u2018you are all behind here, and that is the truth.Me and other fellows that goes to the States, we see life, we see the world, we grow, we improve, we watch, we find out how things are done.We do not care to stop in Bourg-Marie all our lives, nor even in Three Rivers.Ah !\u2014bah! that is a small place, that Threé Rivers, anyhow I\u201d Rank heresy in the ears of Widow Péron and Nicolas Laurière ; yet, only half comprehending the foreign tongue, they listen respéétfully, timidly.Pacifique squats by.the corner of the fireplace.He does not understand the English at all, but ig thinking what present be can make Magloire when he leaves them.Snowshoes\u2014raquettes ?\u2014no ; a carved pipe \u2014no, that young gentleman buys cigars.Well, it will come into his head, his stupid head, presently.\u2018Me and other fellows,\u201d continues Mag- loire, conscious of his admiring audience \u2018well, such as Jack, and Louis.And there was one Amable Blondeau\u2014le cou- sin\u2014\u2019 \u2018Ah, ouai!\u2019 exclaimed the widow hurriedly ; \u2018le cousin: de notre Blondeau.\u2019 She stopped apologetically, and Mag- loire condescendingly went on : \u2018The cousin of this Blondeau, thé trapper.Well, we have learned a great deal since we go to the States.There évery man is free!
