A Social Bear.

The following curious Circumstance
which is said 10 be true in every par
iicular, is related in Loyd's Sean
dimvlan Adventures :"
"Two women, with four children,
we've tending their cattle at a sheal
ing far from home. II was the duty
of one woman to tend the cattle in
the forest, while the other occupied
herself with household matters and in
hooking after the children. Ii so
happened, however, on the 23d OF
last September, that while one Of
,he women, as usual, watched the
cattle, the other absented herself for
a short time on visit TO a neighbor,
leaving the children altogether 10
themselves. She had not been long
away before they perceived two large
brown animals, which they took 10
be cows, Oh the outside of the fence
bordering The patch OF pasture ground
contiguous To the hut. All children
are curious and indifferent TO danger.
Without consideration, therefore,
they climbed over the fence, and
made up TO the creatures. When
the animals became aware of the
near approach of the children, the
larger of the two compelled the
smaller to lie down at the foot of A
tall pine, and then crouched by It's
side as if to protect II from harm.-
Whereupon the least of the children
two years OF age-wilhout heslta
ton toddled directly up to the ami
mails, and laid itself down likewise,
with its head resting on the belly of
the large one, hummIng at the same
time some nursery song, as IT repos-
ing on its mothers lap! The other
children remained, the while quiet
spectators of the scene. When,
however, the Oldest had laiH little
while, il came 10 the conclusion that
il was no, COW, bu, bear, as was

Hood on Health.

Take precious care of your prec-
ious health F.; but how, as the house
wife says, TO make it keep. Why,
then, don't smoke dry it, or pickle
it in everlasting acids, like the Ger
maus. Don't bury it in potatoe
pit, like the Irish Don't preserve
it in spirits like The barbariaus.-
Don't salt It down, like the New
foundlanders Don't pack It in ice,
like Captain Back. Don't parboil
it like gooseberries. Don't pot, aud
don't hang it, A rope is a bad
Gordon sanitaire' Above all,
don't despond about it, Let not
anxiety have thee on the hip
Consider your health as your great
est and best friend, and thInk as
well of it, in spite of all its foibles,
as you can. For instance, never
dream, though You may have
clover hack, of galIowing con-
sumption, or indulge i'll the Melton
I'm Dellel tlat you are gong tne
pace. Never fancy every time your
cough your are going TO pot -
Hold up. as the shooter says, over
the toughest ground. Despouden-
cy, IN nice case, is the overweight
that you may kick the beam and
the bucket both at once In short,
as with other cases, never meet
trouble half way, but let him have
the whole walk for his pains, though
II be Scotch mile and bittock -
| have even known him to give
up his visit in sight of the house
Besides, the best fence against care
is ha Ia wherefore care TO have
one and all around you whenever
you eau. Let your lungs crow like
chanticleer, and as like a game

Stick to some one Pursuit.

There cannot be a greater error
than to be frequently changing ones
business. Ii any man will look a
round and notice who have got rich
and who have not, out of those he
started life with, he will find that
the successful have generally stuck
10 some one pursuit.
Two lawyers, for example, begin
to practice at the same time. One
devoles his whole mind to his pro-
fession; lays in slowly a stock of
legal learning, and waits patiently,
it may be for years, till he gains an
opportunity to show his superiority.
The other, firing of such slow work,
dashes into politics. Generally, at
the end of twenty years, the latter
will not be worth penny, while
the former will have a handsome
practice, and can count his tens of
thousands in bank stock or mortga-
ges.
Two clerks form a majority al
most simultaneously. One remains
with his former employers, or at
least in the same line, of trade, at
first on a small salary, then on a
larger, until finally, if he is merito-
rious, he is taken into partnership.
The other thinks it beneath him to
fill subordinate position, now that
he is man, and accordingly he
starts in some other business on his
own account, or undertakes new
firm in the old line of trade. Where
does he end 7 Often in insolvency,

rarely in riches. To this every mer-
chant can testify.
A young man is bred mechanic.
He acquires a distaste for his trade,
however, thinks it tedious way to
get ahead, and sets out for the west
or for California. But, in most cas-
es, the same restless, Disconnected,
and speculative spirit, which carries
him away at first, renders continu-
ons application at one place irksome
to him; aud 50 he goes wandering
about the world, a sort of semi-civ-
ilized Arab, really vagrant in char
acter, and sure to die insolvent.-
Meantime his fellow apprentice,
who has stayed at home, practising
economy and working steadily at
his trade, has grown comfortable in
circumstances, and is even perhaps
a citizen of mark.
There are men of ability in eve
ry walk of life, who are notorious
for never getting along. Usually it
is because they never stick to any
one business. Just when they have
mastered one pursuit, and are on the
point of making money, they
change it for another, which they
do not understand; and in a little
while, what little they are worth is
lost forever. We know scores of
such persons. Go where you will,
you will generally find that the men
who have failed in life are those
who never stuck to one thing long.
On the other hand, your prosperous
man, nine cases out of ten, has al
ways stuck 10 one pursuit.-Phila.

During the war of 1912, upon
the frontier settlement of the State
of Tennessee, lived man by the
name OF John Cr"-~Ivy. His fami-
ly consisted of himself, his wife
and three children. He had also
living with him, IN the same house,
another man, who had a wife aud
one infant child. In the summer of
1913, while Crawley, his sou Camp,
and the overseer, were from home
on a hunting excursion, suddenly
was heard, near the dwelling of Mr.
Crawley. the keen crack of the ri
fle, followed instantly by the start
ling sound of the war-whoop. Too
well Mrs Crawley understood ITS

commenced between the Indians

ment, a is always the case with a
mother, Mrs. Crawley's thoughts
turned to her two little children =
What was TO be done, must be done
quickly, as party of about thirty
Indians were approaching the dwell
ling with all possible speed. She

of sufficient age to have some sense
of danger, raised a plank of the

But before Mrs Crawley could do
anything with the youngest, the In
dams were about to enter, and she
had to conceal herself behind the
door. Soon the savages were IN,
doing their work of death aud plun-
der. They despatched the oversee
er's wife by shooting her through.
They dashed the brains of both
children ont against the wall, plum
dered the house, and disappeared.-
Mrs. Crawley remained ia her con-
cealment, undiscovered. While
pondering on the horrors of the
scene around her, she heard foot
steps approaching it was two In
dams returning. They entered,
searched the house, and one of them
discovered Mrs. Crawley, and raised
his tomahawk to strike the fatal
blow. She made signs for mercy (;

behalf, and she was made captive,
For eight days they travelled on,
until they had reached, as she sup
posed, the very heart of the Indian
country. On the night Of the eighth
day, when they had encamped, the
warriors painted themselves, and
made other demonstrations of some
hostile intention. They were up
very late, held a sort of council,
and then fell asleep. They had
two squaws with them, who had TO

A Short story.

Dickens tells the following story
of an American sea-captain -
In his last voyage home, the cap
tain had on board young lady OF
remarkable personal attractions-a
phrase use as being one entirely
new, aud one you never meet with
So 't'S .------r--re.s. This young
lady was beloved intensely by five
young gentlemen, passengers, and
M turn she was IN love with them,
all very ardenily, bur without any
particular preference for ether
Not knowing how to make up her
determination in this dilemma, she
consulted my friend, the captain
The captain being a man of original
turn of mind, says to The young
lady, jump overheard aad marry
the man who jumps after yon. =
The young lady, struck with the
idea, and beng naturally fond of
bathing, especially in warm wealth
er, as is then was, took the advice
of the captain, who had a boat
ready in case OF accident Accord
iugly, next morning, the five lovers
being on deck, and looking very
devotedly at the young lady, she
plunged into the sea head foremost.
-Four of the lovers Immediately
jumped in after her. When the
young lady aud her -four lovers got
out again, she says to the captain,
what am to do now, they are so
wet !? Says the captain, take the
dry onen And the lady did, and
married him.

Dissolution of the Union.

Bishop Hoadly, in his celebrated
letter to the Pope, which for refined
wit and grave irony, is excelled by
nothing in our language, speaking
of the popular cry in England
"Thc Church is i'll danger" says
1t has created nauseous disgust
in many of the best members OF the
Church of England, and has fur
nished some of our dissenters with
this reason against uniting with us,
that they wiH never be ola Church
that is almost Arrays IN danger"
We think the same objection could,
with equal reason, be made against
coming into the Union. The cry
that the Union is in danger, must
be as disgusting to all sensible men
among us, as the cant cry in Eng
land is of the danger of the church
We have had so much OF the
senseless cry, Of the danger Of IN.
