two entered into an animated conversation, the
doctor launching out into rapturous praises of
the scenery about the place, the neatness of the
building, the fine orchard OF peach and apple
trees, and the lady who got a glimpse of the
saddIe-bags, made great many inquiries about
the health Of the neighborhood and things in
general. The doctor finally took leave of the
lady, assuring her that he would call upon his
return, and have some further conversation with
her, as she reminded him so much Of his wife,
who, he was sure, would be happy to become
acquainted with her. The lady turned to enter
the house, and the doctor had Just gathered up
his reins, when jim Atwood dashed up to ;he
gate with his horse in ather OF foam. ''What

ABSENCE OF MIND.

It is not always the ''longeSt pole that knocks
down the most persimmonS," either in the
game of bluff or the more difficult game OF life.
''Therr is divinity that shapes our ends, rough
hew them as we will,' and it often happens
that when man considers himself ''hunk,' he
is as far astray as possible. Here is a case in
point:
DR.. Joshua CALDWELL, who lived for many
years in the town of Florence, on the Western
Reserve, Ohio, was most Skilllul doctor, but
one of the most eccentric and abseni-nlnded
persons in the world, except Margaret, his
wife, who was fully his equal. One summer
morning the doctor got caught in tremendous
shower, which drenched him to the skin. ii
soon cleared off, however, and DR.. Josh rode
into his own yard, where he took his dripping
saddle from the horse, and let him 90 adrilt in
the pasture. The saddle be had placed upon a
stout log OF wood, which was elevated about
four feet from the ground, where the doctor
bad began TO build a platform TO dry peaches
on. After having cot his saddle all fixed so as
that il would be dry, he took the bride, and
putting The bit over the end OF the log. be stretch
ed ont the reins, and hiched them TO the horn
of the saddle, aud went IN to change his wet
Clothrs aud get breakfast. Joshua junior was
from home on visit, and so the seniors sat
down together to the mornings meal. When
they were about half through, Jim Atwood, a
farmer who lived eight miles distant, came in,
telling the doctor he wished he would hurry
and go over TO bis house, as he reckoned he
might be wanted there before night. The doe
tor promised to be there. and jim went off in
a hurry 10 the village for the necessary FIX
ings.
When the doctor had finished his breakfast,
he took his saddle-bags and went into the yard,
where he deliberately mounted his saddle, and
set out in Imagination for Jim Atwood's. For
a considerable length of time he rode on in the
most profound silence, with his eyes fixed in-
tently on Buchan's Practice, which lay open OF
the saddle before him. At length be began TO
feel the effects Of the fierce rays of the midday
sun, and booking up from his hook, be discover
ed comfortable little house close to him, upon
which he sung out Justify for drink Of water.
Amt Margaret, who had been for the last two
hours very busy in the garden, made her APP

thirsty stranger had taken long draught the

portunity to plunge it into the brdte's throat,
when, with terrible roar, il fell across my body
apparently in the seones of death A fearful
struggle ensued, which soon Pot stop to my
feeble exertions.
When next came 10 my senses, was sea-
/ ted, leaning against rock, and Staiwars In
dian youth, who had been my companion in
many hard days hunt, was busily employed
binding up my wounds with leaves and strips
torn from his own scantY garments. Not being

and nursed me as mother would child, and
the next day carried me 81 easy stages TO my
parents.
1t appeared that he had called for me, but
being told that | was only gone few minutes,
thought he would make up 10 me. He acci-
dentalIy came TO where had shot the Iaccoon-
but found that some bears had broken the sap
ling, and eaten their cousin. He then struck
their trail, and followed them TO where he saw
the old one apparently devouring something, he
did not know what He fired, and being aware
OF their tenacity of life, wanted to reload his
rifle, ere venturing toadvance. sad Job for me,
as BY lis dying struggle have been manned for
life
1t is worthy Of remark, that the deer had been
50 close upon me, when ] fred, that his chest
was singed, and that the barrels of the gun were
found nearly eight inches deep in the wound
formed by their own discharge, while and the
stock had been driven upward OF thirty feet by
the force OF his spring.

( whirlpool below.
! He had gained, however, but small advan-
! tage. 1t required his utmost exertions to keep
the boat he had grasped from dragging him down
the fall.
The quickly formed purpose of Wilson, in
thus springing into the wafer, had been to drag
the boat against The current TO the shore. But
this be perceived TO be impossible the moment
he felt the real strength OF the current.
If he were TO LET the boat go he could easily
save himself. But no such thought entered his
bosom.
':Lie down close TO the bottom" he said, in a
quick, hoarse voice. TIE terror-strlcken girls
obeyed the Injunction instantly.
With coolness that vas wonderful under
all circumstances, Wilson moved the boat sew
eral yards away from the nearest shore, until
he reached point where he knew The water
below the dam to be more expended and free
from rocks. Then throwing his body suddenly
against the boat, and running slong until he was
within few feet Of the fail, he sprang into if
and went over.
A moment or two the light vessel as il shot
out into the air, stood poised, and then went
plunging down.
The fearfu! leap was made in safrty. The
boat struck the seething waters below, and CLAN
ced out from the whirlpool, bearing its living
freight uninjured
(which was the coward ~
The words reached the ears of Logan, as be
gathered with the rest of the company around
Wilson and the pale trembling girls he had 50
heroically saved.
Fair lips asked the question. One maiden
bad spoken 10 another, and in louder voice
than she had intended.
e'Not Edward Wilson, said Logan, as he
stepped forward and grasped the hand Of him he
bad so wronged and insulted. "Not Edward
Wilson He is the noblest aud the bravest !"
Wilson made an effort reply. But he was
for some moments too much excited and eXhaus-
ted TO speak. At last he said
81 only did what was right. May ] ever
have courage 10 do that"
Afterwards, when alone with Logan be
said
''it required far greater exercise of courage
TO forbear when you provoked and insuIted me
in the presence ofthose who expected retalia-
ton, than it did TO risk my life at the milldam."
There is a moral heroism that few can ap-
preciate. And it will usually be found that
the morally brave man is quickest to lose the

where may Rest be Found

Tell me, We winged winds
That round my pathway roar,
Do yon not know some spot
Where mortals weep more?
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in tbe west,
Where free from toll and pair,
The weary soul may rest?
The loy winds soltened in whisper low,
And sighed for pity, as they answered-ssNo!"
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose billows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where wretched man may find
The bliss for which he sighs
Where sorrow never lives.
Aud friendship never dies ?
The loud waves rolling in perpetual flow,
Slonped for 4 while, and an swered-"NoH" 2"
And thou, serenest moon,
That with such holy face
Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights embrace
Tell me, in all thy rounds,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Might find happier lot
Behind cloud the moon Withdrew in VIC,
And voice sweet, but sad, res ponded-''No!'
Tell me, my secret soul,
o tell me, Hope and Faith,
|, there resting place
From sorrow, sin and death
Is there no happier spot
Where rortalS may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And eariness rest?
Faith, Hope and Love, best boons TO mortals giver
Waved their bright wings and whispered-''Yes,
Heaven"
