ROLL OF HONOR.
ANIher tTeNchys

An old rag picker died in Paris, in state
of the most sbject poverty. His only rela-
ton WAS . niece, who lived as servant with
greengrocer. The girl Slwayx assisted her
uncle as far as her slender means would per-
nit When she learned Of his death, which
took place suddenly she was upon the point
of marriage with journeyman baker, TO
whom she had been long attached. The nup-
tial day was fixed, but Susette had not vet
bought her wedding clothes. She has.ened
to tell her lover that their marriage must be
deferred, As she wanted the price of her brid-
al 6nery to lay her Encle decently in the
grave. Her mistress ridiculed the idea, and
exhortcd her to leave the old man to be bu-
ried dy charity. Snsette refused. The con-
sequence was q quarrel, in which the young
woman lost at once her place and her lover,
who sided with her mistress. She fastened to
the miserable garnet where her uncle had ex-
pred, and by the sacrifice not only of the
savings for her wedding attire, but of all
her slender wardrobe, she had the old man
decen.ly inferred. Her pious task fulfilled,
she sat alone in her uncle's room, weeping
bitterly. when the master of the faithl.ss low
er, a young, good-looking man, entered.
$50, my 60 ID Susette, lind you have lost
your place said he; am come to offer you
one for life-wil you marry me % 81, Sir!"
exclaimed Susette; 'you are joking" 0No,
faith, want wife, and Pm sure can't
find better" "But every one will laugh
at you for marrying apoor girl like msp'-
80, il that is your only digestion, We shall
soon get over i'll. come, come along; my
mother is prepared to receive you" Sussste
hesitated no longer, she wished TO take with
her memorial Of h.r deceased uncle; it
was cat that he had had for many years.
The old man was % fond Of the animal that
he determined that even her death should
not separate them, for he had her stuffed
md placed upon the tester Of his bed. AZ
Susette took puss down, she uttered an ex-
clamat!on OF surprise ct fading her - heavy.
The lover hastened to open the animal,
when out fell shower Of gold--a thousand
gold napolsons we're concealed u the body
Of the cat; and this sun, which tho old mi
scr had starvsd himself TO amass, became
the just reward OF the noble girl and her dis
intsrssted lover.

A NIGHT HUNT IN SIBERIA.

The Creator has everywhere provided
for the wants of his creatures. The terri.
BILE cold of Siberia and the Polar regions
would render life unsupportahle by man
and beast without some special provision.
The Siberian bear seems TO be a peculiar
species Of that animal. He is head tai
Ter than the common brown bear, is long.
legged and long-necked, heavier, and
more ferocious. The Siberian bear, too,
unlike other Bruins, is not fond of honey
Vegetable food is rare for him he lives
like beast of prey on the flesh of other
animals. His skin is hairy, and of a
brown color outside, when the inner part
has very soft, thick, fine wool. Even
the soles of his feet are covered with hair.
The animal has, consequently a noiseless
step, and were he not not SO lazy, might
glide securely upon his prey. Happily he
adopts another method of attack. He as
cends one of the great pines, lies quiet
among thick branches, and then falls like
ball from his hiding place among the
stray hares, reindeer or elks. He often
lasts for long time so that he is capable
of devOuring middle sized deer at one
sitting, leaving nothing but theskiu, which
he entirely clears out. Exiles affirm that
they have observed him at such a meal,
and that he has been noticed to continue
eating incessautly for seven hours. Upon
man he rushes with stupid obstinacy, and
will not shrink from encountering even q
superior number of opponents. His sight
and hearing seem feeble, but his scent is
very keen. Strong as he is, however, a
sharp blow on the middle of his nose will
often kill him. He rests in winter, like
all his. species but he does not sleep so un.
interruptedly as the common brown bear
nor does, he suck his paws, but simply roll,
himself up like ball and sticks his head
between his legs. In this position he i:
often covered under deep bed Of snow
in the thicket, SO that his presence is MOI
discernable. Woe, however, to the un,
fortunate being who shall awaken him Of
disturb him the bear is swiftly upon hin
to knock him down with his dreadful paws
or to grasp and tear him. Five exilessir
Siberia, named Galowin, Stoganow, LON.
ineff, Romauow. and Sajew, had beer
greatly annoyed by the numerous wolYe:
which. nightly visited the neighborhood
of their isolated residences, and rendered
outdoor life extremely insecure. They
therefore determined 10 make foray no
on their fierce adyersaries, and teRcl
them a lesson OF caution, Thew mad,
