A QuEAR WAY TO CATCH BEAR.-A
thick and strong piece of whalebone, about
four feet long, is rolled up into small
compass and carfully enveloped in blubber,
forming round ball. 1t is then placed
in open air, at low temperature, where it
soon becomes hard and frozen. The ma
tives, armed with knives, bows and ar
rows, together with this frozen bait, pro-
ceed in quest Of Bruin. As soon as the
animal is seen, one of the hunters deliber-
ately discharge an arrow att; the monster,
smarted from this unprovoked assault, pur-
sues the party, then in full retreat until,
meeting with the frozen blubber, dropped
in his path, he swallows it and continues
the pursuit, doubtless fancying that there
must be more where it came from. The
effect of chase and the natural heat of the
body cause the blubber to thaw, then the
whalebone, thus freed, springs back, pro-
ducing great mischief, and o5liging the
beast to discontinue the pursmt-he falls
down, helpless, writhing in agony, and his
existanee is soon terminated. -. Il

Non-paying subscribers are thus talked
to by Southern editor: "Wagons cannot

are all good but what does mans good
ness do when it does not do any good2
We have no doubt every one thinks that
all have paid except him, and we are clev-

A SECRET FOR BEING HAPPY.-An
Italian Bishop who had struggled through
many difficulties without repining, and been
much opposed without manifesting impa-
tience, being asked by friend to commni-
cate the secret of his always being so hap
py, replied: at consists in a single thing,
and that is, making right use of my eyes"
His friend, in surprise, begged him to ex-
plain his meaning "Most willingly"
replied the Bishop. "In whatever state I
am I first of all look up to heaven, and re-
memeber that my great business is to get
there. l then look down upon the earth,
and call to mind how small space shall
soon fill in it. I then look abroad in the
world; and see what muititudes are, in all
respects, less happy than myself. And
thus l learn where true happiness is placed,
where all my cares must end, and how
little reason ever have to murmur, or to
be otherwise than thankful. And to live
in this spirit, is to be always happy"

GATHER MoRR1s." The eccentrieities
of Old Parson Mills, of Torrington, Conn.
the "Father Morris" of Mrs. Stoves
sketches-have furnished many an amusing
annecdote. This which we now relate, so
far as we know, was never printed.
In New England churches it used to be,
and perhaps still is, the custom to put up
special prayers for the sick of the congre-
cation, and written requests used to be
read from the pulpits. The Rev. Mr.. s.,
of Warren, had an aged mother whose
days were almost numbered, and who was
extremely feeble and decrepit. On one oc-
casion, he exchanged with Father Mills, and
requested the latter to converse with his
mother, and to ask the prayers of the
Church and congregation in her behalf
In her conversation with Mr.. Mills, the old
lady expressed her willingness to die, de-
claring that she "desired to depart" In
the services of the day, the queer old
preacher announced as follows: "A, 5-..s
"The aged and venerable Mrs. S., the
mother of your Pastor, requests that pray
ers of this congregation, the she may die.

In Doubt No Longer.


The Northern Democratic papers which
oppose the Kansas Lecompton Coustitu-
tion, need no longer deny that President
Buchanan goes the extreme length with
the Border Ruffians, for the Message-very
much to our surprise-covers more than
the entire ground ever claimed by the most
arrogant Pros Slavery man. We have sup
posed that Mr.. Buchanan would dodge the
real question at issue by referring the whole
matter to Congress, but it would seem
that he seeks opportunity, in season and
out ofseason, to show his devotion to the
slave power and to use the influence of his
high office to strike at the rights of free
labor. The portion of the message which
treats upon the Kansas matter is as cold as
death. One can well imagine it written
by tyrant, but would not dream that it
was penned by one who boasts the COM
mon feelings of human heart. Mr.. Bu-
chanan speaks of this Kansas issue-which
certainly involves the highest question of
human rights-as mere struggle for tenn
porary political power in Kansas; as a
question of minor Importance; and he talks
of probable civil war for years in that be-
trayed Territory, as coolly as he would
speak of an ordinary election canvass.
In all the heated political discussions
within the memory of man, the parallel of
this message, for downright indifference,
not only to political rights, but to the mis-
cries of civil war, cannot be found. 1t
could not be imagined that the President
of the United States, even if scared for half
a century in the tierv furnace of political
life, could discard the finer feelings of his
nature, aud talk of the enslavement of hu-
man beings as he would talk of the rights
of ownership in drove of hogs, and cool
ly refer to the probabilities of civil war
in one of our brotherhood of States, with
its attendant train of cruelty, of crime, and
Of bloodshed, as he would discuss an Or
dinary foray against tribe of wild sava-
ges.- Cleyeland Herald.
