The LEoPARDs ATTAcK-The power of a
leopard is wonderful in proportion to his
weight. 1 have seen full grown bull with
his neck broken by the leopard who attacked
it. 1t is the popular belief that the effect Is
produced by blow of the paw. This is nos
the case it is not simply the blow but it is.

and the momentum Of the spring, which rem
ders the effect of the leopard's attack so SURF
prising Few leopards rush boldly to the at
tack like a dog F; they stalk their game and
advance crouchingly, making use of every obs
ject that will cover them, until they are with
in few bounds of their prey. Then the i'm
mense power .of muscle is displayed in the
Eeoncentrated energy of the spring he fys
through the air and settles on the throat, usu-
ally throwing his own body over the animal,
while his teeth and claws are fixed on the
lneck this is the manner in which the spine Of
(the animal is broken, by sudden spring, and
not by blow. The blow from the paw is,
nevertheless, immensely powerful, and at one.
|stroke will rip open bullock Like knife
but the after effects of the wound are still
more to be dreaded than the force Of the blow.
There is peculiar poison in the claw, which
is highly dangerous. This is caused by the
putrid flesh which they are constantly tearing,
and which is apt to cause gangrene by inocu-
lation.-[ Eight Years Wanderiags IN Ceggon.

WHAT A w0lIAN CAN DO.

As wife and mother, woman can make the
fortune and happiness Of her husband and
children; and even if she did nothing else.
surely this would be sufficient destiny. By
her thrift prudence and fact, she can secure to
her partner and herself a competence in old
age, no matter how small their beginning or
how adverse a fate occasionally be theirs. By
her cheertulness she can restore her husbands
spirit, shaken by the anXietieS of business
by her tender care she can often restore him
to health, if disease has seized upon his over
tasked powers BY her counsel and her love
she can win him from bad company, if temp
tation in an evil hour has led him astray. By
example, her precepts, and her sex's insight
INTO character she can mould her children
no Teyer diverse their dispositions, into good
and noble men and women. And by leading
in al things true and beautiful life, she can
refine elevate, and spiritualize all who come
within reach so that with others of her sex
emulatiDg and assisting her she can do more
to regenerate the world than all the statesman
or reformers that ever legislated. She can do
as much alas! perhaps even more to degrade
man, if she chooses to do it.
Who can estimate the evil that woman has
the power to do? Asa wife, she can ruin her
husband by extravaganza, folly, or want of af-
fiction. She can make a devil and an outcast
of man in society. She can bring chickering's,
strife, and perpetual diseord into what has
been happy home. She can change the i'm
nocent babes which God has entrusted to her
charge, into vile men, and even yiler women.
She can lower the moral tone of society itself.
and pollute legislation at the spring head
She can, in fine, become an instrument of evil
instead of an angel of good. Instead of ma
king flowers of truth, purity, beauty and spir-
tpality spring up in her footsteps, till the
whole earth smiles with loveliness that is al
most celestial, she can transform it to black
and blasted desert, covered with the scorn of
al evil passions, and swept by the bitter blasts
Of everlasting death. This is what a woman
can do for the wrong as well as for the right.
Is her mission little one? Has she no "wor-
Thy work." as has become the cry Of late P
Man may have harder task to perform q
'ougher path to travel, but he has none loftieT
" more influential than woman's.

YoFNG AMERrcA.-The following specimen
of "Young Amerieanism, we think is too good
to be lost:
One night Freddy had been put TO bed, and
mother and Johnny were in IN adjoining room.
Presently Johnny cut up some caper, on which
mother threatened to ''take him into the other
room and whip him."
"Mother,' said Freddy's voice under the
bed-cIothes, al know where I'd take him."
"Where?'' said mother, whose curiosity was
excited.
'"Pd take him under the left ear !''
