man named Hostrander went into the woods
for the purpose Of sailing deer lick AS they
were passing through the woods, Hostranter
stopped and said to Miller. There's bear,
at the same time pointing his finger in the
direction Of the object. Miller looked in the
direction pointed out and saw a bear, and
drew up his gun and fired, striking tho bear
and killing it. Simultaneously with the re.
port Of the gun, down dropped another bear
from tree. Miller threw down the empty
gun and took after the bet through the brush
After running about 200 yards, Miller came
up with the bear and making spring at him
caught him by the ears. Mr.. Bruin used his
paws with right good will in the attempt to
shake of his adversary. But Notwithstanding
the bears claws were making fearful incisouS
into his arms and thighs, NJ iler held on until
his companion came up, when they tore up
the bag in which they had their salt and tied
the bear and then getting pole they fixed
him on it and bore him home in triumph

fighting upon his own hook. While the bat

they fell, "Kentuck" might have been seen
stationed under q tall maple, loading and
firing his rifle as perfectly unconcerued as
though he was picking deer" Every time
he brought his rifle to his shoulder a red-coat
bit the dust. At last he happened to attract
the attention OF f"Old Hickory" who supposed
he had become separated from bis company
and rode up to him to bring him behind the
redoubts, as he was in position that exposed
his person to the fire Of the enemy.
"Hallo my man, what regiment do you

INCREASE OF PoTAro-Some years ago a

took from his pocket small potato, which
somehow got in there at home. 1t Naa
thrown out with smile, and the farmer ia
king it in his hand to look at it, a curious
little boy of twelve, standing at bis elbow,
asked him what it was. "Oh, said he, moth.
ing but potato, my boy take and plant it
and you shall have all you can raise from it
ill you are fnge. The lad took it, and the
farmer thought no more about it nt the time.
The boy, however, not dspsing small pota.
toes carefully divided it into as many pieces

The product was carefully put aside in the
fall and planted in the spring, and SO on til
the fourth year, when the yield being good. the
actual product was four hundred bushes.-
The farmer, seeing the prospect tLat The po.

THE LAST MAN.


All worldly shapes shall melt in gloom,
The Sun himself must die,
Before this mortal shall assume
Its immortality
/ saw vision in my sleep,
That gave my spirit strength to sweep
Adown the gulf Of Time
saw the last Of human mould
That shall Creations death behold,
AS Adam saw her prime
The Suns eye had sickly glare,
The Earth with age was won,
The skeletons of nations were
Around that lonely man
Some had expired in fight-the brands
Still rusted in their bony hands;
In plague and famine some!
Earth's cities had nor sound nor tread
And ships we're drifting with the dead
To shores where all was dumb
Yet, prophet.like that lone one stood,
With dauntes winds and high,
That shook the sere leaves from the wood
As it storm passed by,
Saying, We are twins in death proud Sun
Thy face is cold, thy race is run,
'ris mercy bids thee go;
For thou ten thousand thousand years
I1dSL seen tue tlOe OF DuOl1D Tears,
That shall no longer flow.
What though beneath thee man put forth
His pomp, his pride, his skill
And arts that made fire, food and earth
Tho vassals of his will p
Yet mourn ! not thy parted sway,
Thou dim discrovned king of day;
For all these trophied arts
And triumphs that beneath thee sprapg,
Healed not passion or pang
Entailed on human hearts.
Go, let oblivion's curtain fall
Upon the stage Of men,
Nor with thy rising beams recall
Lfe's tragedy again:
Its piteous pageants bring not back,
Nor waken flesh, upon the rack
fpain anew to writhe;
Stretched iu diseases shapes abhorred
Or mown in battle by the sword,
Like grass beneath the scythe.
Even am weary in yon skies
To watch thy fading FIRE;
Test Of all sunless agonies,
Behold not me expire.
My lips that speak thy dirge OF death
Their rounded grasp and gurgling breath
To see thou shalt not boast.
The eclipse of Nature spreads ny pail,
The majesty of Darkness shall
Receive my parting ghost!
This spirit shall return to Him
Who gave its heavenly spark;
Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dim
When thou thyself art dark?
No it shall live again, and shine
In bliss unknown to beams OF thine,
BY Him recalled to breath,
Who captive led captivity.
Who robbed the grave of Victory
And took the sting from Death
Go, Sun, while Mercy holds me up
On Natures awful waste
To drink this last and bitter cup
OF grief that man shall taste
Go, tell the night that hides thy face,
Thou saw'st the last of Adams race,
On Earth's sepulchral clod,
The darkening universe defy
To qucnch his Immortality,
Or shake his trust in God

TIE VOYAGE OF THE "RUSHISG WATERS.
1t was the last day Of March, and the
horbor Of fine old fishing town on the con-
tinent, not many hours distance from Eng
land, was aliy6 with hustle. For the next
day would be the first of April, and the Ice
land fishing boats were to 60 out with the
mornings tide. A whole feet Of vessels,
some large, somo small; some with their
complement of ten or twelve men and boys
on board, some with but four or FIVE, who
were making ready to depart on their annual
voyage to the North fishery, praying for
success.
Yes, praying. The streets were crowded
with promenaders, going to or returning from
the beautiful little chapel on the port, n
chapel specially constructed to fishermen
For three days had that small chapel been
beseged so that it was difficult to push
way in or ont. 1t was small building, little
larger than a fair sized room; models of
ships were suspended in it, and it was taste
fully decorated with landscape pictures, and
gliding, and flowers AND ornaments, after
the manner OF the favorite chapels Of the
Roman Catholics. Some marine views in
particular were attractively painted. They
lined the walls of the porch, five or six of
them, in glittering frames, and represented
the vicissitudes of a sea.life. One portrayed
calm sea, on which glided large ship with
her white sails set scene OF peace; another
view showed her rocking and tossing in oil
the perils CT storm, apparently about to
succumb to its fury. Here was small pic
ture representing fishing boat sinking, sink
ing hopelessly, beyond possibility of hope or
succor, its mariners hands and their beseech.
ing countenances outstretched to Heaven.
The frame above it contained view of apo.
ther fishing vessel approaching its harbor in
safety. The chances and dangers of its past
voyage were surmounted,' and home faces
were collected on the beach to welcome it
in.
The chapel was dark, dark even in the day.
time. The windows we're sombre with their
stained glass, and the ornaments, cases of
relics, images, and pictures raised against
them, further obscured the light. 1t never
was wholly dark, for the high candles on the
altar were kept continually burning. and
numberless collections Of miniature tapers
were lighted by the kneeling women. From
sunrise till late at night the chapel was re-.
! ceiving and pouring forth it's crowds. The
sailor men and boys would come 10, sink on
their knees before one or other of the images,
| st. Andrew, or st. Peter, or the Virgin. and
remain there, still as death, for couple oi
minutes. praying TO the saint. Then they
crossed themselves and passed out. and the
short prayer would last most Of them until

A PLUcKY SESAToR.-The Hon. William
Champell, member Of the Wisconsin Senate
received $4,000 Of the La Crosse and NJ
waukee Railroad bribe two years ago, and
was active in corrupting his legislative as
sociates. The Senate, at its recent session
voted 81 to 5, that he was guilty, and Is to
9 that he was unworthy of a seat in the body
lie however, retained his seat. A mass
meeting at WATERFOWL, where he resides
held withoat distinction ofparty, unanimously
requested him to resign. He refused. The
Common Council OF that city, a majority
being his political friends, made a similar re-
quest by a vote Of 7 to 5. But Mr.. &. would
not comply. AS this plucky Senator will be
remembered in history, it is proper to record
that he emerged from New York and was for
many years citizen Of dorchester.

may be converted into delicious Jelly by the

When the dew is on the clover,
And the gorse in autumn bloom,
And the primrose beds all over
With acorn cups are strewn
And the lazy rocks sit cawing
High upon the talest tree,

To the milking through the lea.

And the blackbird at the dasnlug,
Sings clear and ripe.
