THE INDIAN AND HIS vENIsON.

Twas cold and stormy night in the fall of
the year 1913, and Miner Spicer and his wife
had drawn their seats in front of the blazing
FIRE which roared in the large open fireplace of
their cabin, and were talking Of absent friends.
Together with his brother Mr.. Amos Spcer,
he had removed from New London, Conn, TO
the neighbOrhood of Akron, Ohio, in 1911,
and erected his log cabin in the midst of the
forest which was fast being thinned out before
the sturdy arm Of the new settlers, and giving
place to green fields and pasture lands. The
hoarse moaning Of the wind, as it sighed
through the boughs of The trees, and the pat
tering of the rain on the roof served to heigh-
ten The comfort and increase the enjoyment OF
their chimney corner and it is not to be won
dered at, when we consider the subject of
conversation, that they should sit long after
the usual period of re,reing, in cozy chat, nor
dreaming of the passing hours.
A sudden stop to their coloquy was caused
by the sound of hore's hoofs approaching
the door, and moment after shout from
without intimated that some one desired to al
tract the attention of the inmates of the house.
MIR. Spicer arose, opened the door, and passed
out into the night. He could recognize the
outline of man on horseback, but the dark
ness, which shrouded all objects in gloom, pre-
vented him from distinguishing the features or
anything whereby he might guess at the char
acter Of his visitor.
To his question of "Who's there :" a vol
ley Of sounds was uttered by the stranger-as
unintelligible as SO much Greek or Arabic
He was somewhat angered at such an attempt
to answer his simple question, and told the
other that he must speak English or he would
unhorse him. BY this time his eyes had be-
come accustomed 10 the darkness, and he was
able to make out the stranger to be an Indian
mounted on a small sized, rough and wiry look
ing pony, which, besides his master, bore OF
his back the carcass Of deer, BY signs and

A CHILD ASLEEP.

There he lay, upon his back,
The yearling creature, warm and moist with life
To the bottom of his dimples-to the ends
OF the lovely tumbed curs about his face;
For since he had been covered overmuch
To keep him from the light-glare, both his cheeks
Were hot and scarlet MS the first live rose
The Shepherds heart-blood cbbed away into,
The faster of his love. And love was Here
As instant in the pretty baby mouth,
Shut close as if for dreaming that it sucked;
The little naked feet drawn up the way
OF nestled birdlings; everything so soft
And tender-to the. little holdfast hands,
Which, closing on a finger into sleep,
Had kept the mould oft.
While we stood there dumb,
The light upon his eyelids picked them wide,
And starting out at us with all their blue,
As half-perplexed between the angelhood
He had been away to visit in his sleep,
And our most mortal ncc,-gradua!ly
He saw his mothers face, accepting it
In chan for heaven itself, with such smile
As might have woll been learnt there-neyer moved
Bat smiled on in a browse Of ecstacy,
SO happy (half with her and half with heaven)
He could not have the trouble to be stirred,
But smiled and lay there. AURORA LEIGH.

PETER CARTWRIGHT.

Some queer stories are told of this pioneer
preacher. He at one time offended a certain
Major l., who was fire eater, by the
bodness of his preaching, and the first time
they met the major flew into desperate rage,
and said if he thought he would fight him a
duel he would challenge him.
"Major," said Cartwright, very calmly, "if
you challenge me will accept"
"Well, sir" said he, 81 do dare you to
mortal combat"
"Very well, I'll fight you and, SIR said
Cartwright, " according to the laws OF honor,
suppose it is my righ, to choose the weapons
with which we are 10 6ightl"

NEVER DESPAIR.

OF what use is that sigh,
You had far better try
To keep your frail vessel afoat
On the ocean of life,
Amidst troubles and strife,
Than to sit in despair's crazy boat.
For some dark waves there be
On life's turbulent sea,
Which both threaten to crush and o'erwhelm;
But bright Truth will us guide,
If we've Faith at our side,
And that good pilot Peace at the helm.
Yet some always go round
Where most dangers abound,
And they meet all their troubles halfway,
Which is far worse than all,
For storm or squall
Might pass or clear up in day.
But there's One points the way,
And voice seems to say,
OF life's wave-hidden dangers beware.
By that Light which shines bright,
Steer when dark is your night,
For the maelstroms then swallow despair.

The social condition Of the employees in this

not improve the chance, he knows the conse-

men occupying so high position socially as
these. Many of them have invented improve
ments in scale making, and 10 the honor of
Messrs Fairbanks be it said, they have in all
cases literally and promptly paid the ingenious
artisans. Between employers and employed a
thoroughly good feeling exists, and the work.
men consider their interests identical with those
of their employers, as indeed they are.
In the connting-room are to be found an ex-
editor, an ex-mnlsler and and an ex-merchant.
