FlGHT wITHA BEAR IN NEW Mex
Ico.-A correspondent of the Ohio
State Journal, writing from Santa Fe,
gives the following interesting descrip-
ton of a desperate fight with bear,
whish recently occurred in the vicinity
of Santa Fe =
l was hunting at FL Vaille, thirty
miles west of the Puebla Of San Ilde
fonso, when the first thing ] saw was
myself within ten steps of large
brown bear. He came up to me with
in about six feet, when he stopped and
looked directly at me. took aim at
the burr of his car with my rifle, and
pulled the trigger. He fell at the
crack of the gun. seized my hatch
ct in my right hand, and my knife in
my left, and made at him, when he
jumped up and came at me on his hind
feet, with his mouth wide open. |
struck at him with such force with my
hatchet that it turned me clear round,
and the hatchet flew out Of my hand.
Before l could fairly recover myself
he had me in his hug, when I stabbed
him in the side with my knife, and he
let me go, and sprang away from me.
lie again caught me in the same way
and / stabbed him again, putting the
whole blade of the knife to the hilt
into his cntrails.-IIe again sprung
away from me in the same way. The
third time he hugged me, and, stab
bed him again, he threw up his paw
and broke my knife short off at the
handle. l then turned to run, but
had only made few jumps when he
caught me again and threw Inc on my
face to the ground. He seized my
right arm in his mouth, and shook il
the same as dog would shake cat
lie then tried to get my head into
his mouth, and at every bite his teeth
would crunch across my skull. Hav
ing no chance with the powerful beast
reached up my lame arm and sue
cecded in getting my fore finger into
his eye, with my thumb under his chin
like, and did my best gouge his eye
out. He fetched one the loudest squalls
that I ever heard, AMI by this time
succeeded in turning over on my back
when the rascal sat right down top Of
me, with his fore feet resting upon my
ribs. l thought l should die sure
He must have weighed over eight hun
dred pounds. The blood gushed out
of my mouth, and l thought my time
had come. | saw the bear could moi
hold out long, the stabs from the knife
and the ball of my rife had nearly done
the business for him. The blood wa;
running out of his mouth, all this time
in sluice, and hoped every moment
he would fall of me head. At last
succeeded in showing him so that he
careened over and fell from me, and
staggered about twenty steps and fcl
dead. After while managed tC
get up, was very sick the blood was
streaming from my head and from my
arm, my right eye had entirely closed
up, and 1 laid down again on the
ground with my head on a log. fol
about thirty minutes. l knew there
was shepherd about five miles off and
as l could get no help without getting
there, l gathered up my gun and sue
ceeded at last in gaining the camp ii
safety.

FEMALE PHYSICIANS The Boston
Journal strongly advocates the introduc-
ton of females into the ranks of the
medical profession.-We consider the
needle much more appropriate weapon
in the hands of woman than the seal pei or

WoMAN's LAuGH.-A woman has
no natural grace more bewitching than
a sweet laugh. 1t is like tho sound
of flutes on water. 1t leaps from the
heart into clear, sparkling rill and
the heart that hears it feels as if bath
cd in the exhilerating spring. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive
through the trees, led on by her fairy
laugh-now here, now there, now lost,
found I? We have. And we are pur.
suing the wandering voice to this day.
Sometimes it comes TO US in the midst
Of care or sorrow, orirksome business,
and then We turn away and listen, and
hear it ringing through the room like
a silver bell with rower to scare away

Don't STAND ON THE Track
"The train," says railroad Gazette,
''may steal suddenly upon you, and
then little trepidation, slight mis-
step, a slip of the foot, and we shudder
to think of your crushed and bleeding
body" So it is in the journey of life:
perils are around you on every hand.
But don't stand in their path and defy
them don't stand in their path and
disregard them. Perhaps you now
and then take a little intoxicating
drink. My friend, if so, you are
standing on the track while the car of
retribution comes laundering on-mov-
ing in a right line-approaching with
steady and rapid wheels. win it not
bear down and crush you Perhaps
you spend and occasional evening with
a party Of friends, amusing yourselves
with cards or dice, stalking small sums
to make the game interesting. My
friend, you ARE standing on the track
Thousands have stood there and perish.
ed. Don't wait to hear the rafting
of the rushing wheels, but fly from the
track. At safe distance, stand and
view the wrecks which yon ponderous
train will spread before you, Look
well to the ground on which you plant
your feet, and forget not for these
many days our parting words, "Don't
stand on the track, "

The Daisy.
ny JOHN MASON GOOD.

Not worlds on worlds in pbalanx deep
Need we to prove God is here
The Daisy, fresh from winters sleep,
Tells of his hand, in lines as clear.
For who but he who arched the skies,
And pours the day-spring's living flood
Wondrous alike in all he tries,
Could rear the daisys purple bud
Mould its green cup, its wiry stem,
Its fringed border nicely spin,
And cut the gold-embosscd gem
That set with silver, CLEANS within;
And fling it, unrestrained and free
On hill and dale, and desert sod,
That man, where e'r he walks, may see
In every step, the stamp of God.
