The creeks were low. The wa:er ii the raviues had ceased flowing. The great annoyance of onr boarding, house keepers is the dead beats which habitually prey noon this unfortunate class. The expedients to which these beasts resort to keep tip their credit are numerous aud ingenious. A very common one, however, is tbe postal card trick. These cards are mailed by themselves and contain promises of payments of large sums. The landlady in supposed to read these, which ought to help the dead beat's credit, bnt this trick is rather worn out. The boarding-honse thief is also au object of dread, since be penetrates the highest as wel. asthelowest abodes. Not long since a series of depredations occurred in a first-class house and it was eventually discovered that the thief was one of the lady boarders. She was a married woman of elegant appnarr.nce, and even her husband was surprised by the revelatiou which followed detection. He found that his wife was an expert thief, and in this manner was enabled to dress in a style muoh beyond their means, which she explained bj a tale of imaginary presents.

Close to our town of Birmingham, where money is heedlessly lavished to gratify the ambition of a few individuals, some 24.000 of our fellow-creaturcs, men. women and children, toil at forced lalior from year's end to year's end for the privilege of dwelling in hovels and faring on food that is scarcely fit for dogs. T! - 'rish Peasant and the Skye crofter, upon whom so much sympathy has hcen expended, are well-off when compare t with these unhappy people, who virtually drair out an existence varied only by differences in degree of misery. The rate of wages paid to tho nailmakers is so low that when a whole family — man, wife and children—work from six in the morning till aight at night, they can scarcely keep body and soul together. The result of this is that, despite tbe education and factory acts, the children are not sent to school, and from the most lender iears they are trained to assist their ntrcnts in tho forge. Nailinukers' children •f the present day are little if at all better ofl than the " trappers," whose condition excited -o much conimisseration in past years. The position of the women is certainly not one tvliit belter than was that of the " bankwenches " and workers in the pit.

A more receut instance is the victimizing of a first-class landlady, which was certainly doue in the moat skillful style. A young man of highly att.-active appearance called and engaged board, representing himself fw a medical student and showiig letters of recommendation which were accepted in place of references. The tew borrder proved very agreeable and soou won the landlady's complete confidence. In a. few days a telegram came to the bouse which he at once showed to the latter, who thereupon was more delighted than ever. It carat from the young man's father and authorized hira to draw at any tini i for Mrs Wetherhead, the landlady in question, frequently drove oni and on one occasion inrited the student to accompany her.

It was not on fire, beiug protected by a high, bare, rocky hill, down which the side fire could not descend. The reports had increased in frequency until it was as though a strong skirmish line were briskly engaged. The noise was made by tailing trees, trees undermined by the cloaked fire of the pine needles consuming their coots. Faster and faster the trees fell, nutil (he siugle reports were no longer distingaishible. It sounded as though a battle was being fongh' nnder the clouds of smoke hangiug in th'i mountain valley.

A red line, some two miles in 1-Lgtli, rushed up the steep flank of a mountain to the east of where I sat. Red-hot ashes and bits of bnrning wood headed the advancing line as fiery bail. The wind, whirling around crags and iuto nooks filled jvith dry branches and fallen trees, cnused he flames to spring high above the rocks, j.'ores of these towering columns of flre, oscillating wildly, could be seen at once. Again the wind changed with » furious gust and blew strongly from the north.
