STORY OLE A BEAR.

Many years ago beautiful little cub bear was
caught by a stout lad near the borders of Lake
Winnipiseogee, in New Hampshire, carried into
town. and after properdrling, became the play fell
low of the boys of the village, and often accompa.
MED them to the school house. After passing
few months in civilized society," he made his escape
into the woods, and after few years was almost
forgotten. The school house, meantime had fallen
from the schoolmasters into the school-mistresses'
hands; and instead Of large boys learning to write
and cypher small boys and girls were taught in the
same place knitting and spelling. One winters
day, after mild fall of snow, the door had been left
open by some urchin going out, when, to the I'M
speakable horror of the specialized dame and her
threescoree hopeful scholars, enormous bear
walked in in the most familiar manner in the world
and took n scat by the fire. Huddng over the
benches as fast as possible, the children crowded
about their MISTRESS who fled to the iartherest cor
ner of the room; and there they STOOD crying and
pushing to escape the horror Of being eaten first
The bear sat shutting and warming himself by the
fire. showing great signs Of satisfaction, but putting
off his meal until he had warmed himself thorough

school house was far from any inhabitants, and the
bear did not seem at all embarrassed by the oucrv

Enterprise, Suffering, and Resolution.--A native
of BarnstabIe, Mass, named Nckson, arrived in
this city yesterday, on his way to Bangor, State of
Maine, from which he emgratcd with his family,
about five years ago. for the " far West" He took
with him, about seventeen hundred dollars and got
land in Indiana, forty-six miles from ST. Louis,
found it very productive, but the price of produce
was so low, and labor so dear, that he was obliged
to give it up; wheat, twenty-five cents, Indian
corn, six cents for CASH. and eight cents a bushe
He determined to return to Maine, and left with
his family, wife and seven children one at the
breast, with wagon and two horses, at the end Of
October; three Of his children died during the
journey, Of fever and ague one of his horses died
of disease, on the way and the other was lost by
accident At Kingston, being without money, he
made handsleigh, and has dragged it all the way
to Quebec, with his children and some bedding
living Oh the charitable assistance of the people
along the road Being accidently seen by MIR
Campbell, notary, of Quebec, his extraordinary G
qupment attracted attention, and, after inquiry, he
was lodged at Laports London Inn, Lower Town
till means could be found to assist him on his wa,
to Maine. Mr.. Campbell collected few dollar
among his friends and Mr.. Hough has kindly un
dertaken to convey the party in his stage, to thu
line, ninety-three miles, where there can be NJ
doubt of his being aided in getting back to hi
friends after his long and unfortunate absence ant
sufferings.-Quebec Gazette.

Planting Trees. AS Mr. Ketchum, of Connec-
tcut, has been very successful in planting trees,
requested him to give me his process in detail,
which he did very willingly. Previous to getting
the trees said Mr.. X, holes should be dug two feet
and half deep and about four feet in diameter
One cart load of good surface soil, taken from the
roadside, or any other convenient place, and one
wheebarrowtull Of compost laid by each hole
When the trees are ready 10 SET fill up with good
soil and compost well Mixed as high as it is desir-
ed to set the bottom of the trees then place the
tree and slit 10 the fine soil, working the tree back
wards and forwards at the same time, after which
the soil is pounded down hard with large mall,
such as used for paving. The subsoil taken from
the hole is removed, and some coarse manure laid
over the bare soil, Mr., X. thinks it as essential to
manure trees for the first year or two, as it is to
manure for corn or any other crops; that it moi
ly causes much more rapid and vigorous growth,
but the foliage is larger and of a much deeper col
or.-CentraL W y Farmer.

Startlcs the villages with strange alarms

What loud lament and dismal MisereGe

TIC cries of agony, the endless groan
Which, through the ages that have gone before US,

On helm and harness rings the Saxon hammer,
Through Gin rio forest ronrs the Norscmons song
And loud amid the universal clamor,
O'or distant deserts sounds the Tartar gong.

Wheels out his battlefield with dreadful din,
And Aztec priests upon their wocullis
Beat the wild war-drums made Of sorrcnt's skin.
The tumult OF each sacked and burning village
The shout, that every prayer for mercy drowns
The soldiers rovels in the midst of pillagc;
The wall of famine in bcoaguored towns!
The bursting shell, the gateway wrenched asundor,
The rafting musketry, the Flashing bladej
And ever and oHon, in tones of thunder,
The diapason Of the cunnonade.
Is it, oh man, with such discordant noises,
With such accursed instruments MS these,
Thou drowncst Natures sweet and kindly voices,
Aud artest the celestial hurmonics?
Were half the power that fills the world with terror
Were halt the wealth bestowed on camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from error,
There were no need of arsendls and forts.
The warriors would be name Ubhorred!
And every nation that should lift again
Its hand against its brother, on its forehead
Would wear for evermoro the SC Of Cain
Down the dark future, through long generations,
The echong sounds grow fainter and then ccase
And like hell, with solemn, sweet vibrations,
hear more the voice OF Christ say -" P1ace!"
Peace aud longer from its brazen portals
The blast Of Wars great organ shakes the skies!
But beautiful songs of the mnorals,
The holy melodies OF Love arise,

As to the currency question, Mr.. c. pronounced
the idea Of a mere metallic circulation sheer de-
fusion; he assumed that banks and bank paper
must continue to exist under the Legislation of the
several States; and then presented the unavoida-
BILE inference that national institution is necessa-
ry for the proper regulation and permanent safety
and right action of the system--as necessary as a
national government to prevent discord and confi-
sion in our political system. Our Union and ma
tonal action is not more necessary to our national
independence and security than national curren-
cy is indispensable to prevent monied and CONNER
cial interests of the country from being placed at
the mercy of the combined monied power of for
eign capitalists.

it it had disappeared. The same thing occurred a

the strange fish was seen within twenty yards of
