IMPROVEMENT OF TALENTs.-We
certainly do not honor God when we
bury, or when we neglect to improve,
SO far as we may, whatever of talent
He may have bestowed upon us,
whether it be little or much In ma
tural things as wen as in spiritual, it
is never failing truth that to him who
hath, that is, to him who occupies
what he hath diligently, and so as to
increase it more shall be given

to will. Next came the question as te
how he should begin. he thought o.
4 many things to say, yet feared to say
them lest his wife should meet his adj
vances with cold rebuff. At last
leaning toward her. and taking hold Of
! the linen bosom upon which she was at
work, he said, in voice carefully mo-
dulated with kindness -
e You are doing that work very
beautifully, Mary"
Mrs. Lee made DO reply. But her
husband did not fail to observe that
she lost, almost instantly, that rigid
erectness with which she had been sit
ting, nor that the motion of her needle
hand had ceased
MY shirts are better made, and
whittier than those OF any other man in
our shop" said Lee, encouraged to go
on.
"Are they y Mrs. Lees voice
was low, and had in it a slight huski-
ness. She did not turn her face, but
her husband saw&hat she leaned a lit
tie towards him. lie had broken thro'
the ice of reserve, all was easy now
His hand was among the clouds, and a
few feeble rays were already struggling
through the rift it had made.
eyes, Mary" he answered, softly !;
"and I've heard it said more than
once, what good wife Andrew Lee
must have.
Mrs. Lee turned her face towards
her husband. There was light in it,
and light in the expression of the
countenance that a little puzzled him.
do you think so 2" she asked
quite soberly,
"What a question Z" calculated An
drew Lee, starting up, and going
around to the table where his wife was
sitting. "What question, Mary t"
he repeated, as he stood before her.
"Do you 2" It was all she said.
"Yes, darling" was his warmly -spo-
ken answer, and he stopped down and
kissed her. How strange that You
should ask me such a question /"
eff you would only tell me so now
and then, Andrew, it, would do me
good" And Mrs. Lee arose, and
leaning her face against the manly
breast of her husband, stood and wept.
What strong light broke in upon
the mind of Andrew Lee. He had
never given to his faithful wife even the
small reward of praise for all the low
ing interest she had manifested daily,
until doubt of his love had entered her
soul, and made the light around her
thick darkness. No wonder that her
face grew clouded, nor that what he
considered moodiness and Immature
took possession of her spirit.
"You are good and true, Mary, my
own dear wife I am proud of you
/ love you-and my first desire is for
your happiness. Oh, if could always
see your face in sunshine, my home
would be the dearest place on earth. !"
How precious to me are y our words
of love and praise, Andrew" said Mrs.
Lee, smiling up through her tears into
his face. M
with them in my ears, my heart
can never lie in shadow
I How easy had been the work of An
drew Lee. He had swept his hand
across the cloudy horizon of his home,
and now the bright sunshine was stream
ing down, and flooding that home with
joy and beauty.

Fight with a Bear.

our bear adventures One of these,
which came near being embellished
with tragical ending, happened re-
Gently on the road from Pembina to
Otter Tail, near Red Lake river. A
lusty half breed, named Montreuil, a
young savage of gigantic stature and
enormous strength, employed in car
rying the mail from Pembina to Wild
Rice river on his way up, in the mid
die of September last, encountered o
huge bear nesting in one of the innu-
merable little poplar hammocks that
are scattered over that portion of the
country. Montreuil and his compan-
ion were on foot, and had between
them but one gun. Confident of his
aim Montreuil approached within thirty
PAGES of the bear and fired. The an
CRY animal, enraged but not disabled
by the wound, broke from his den, and
turned angrily upon the daring hunter.
Scarcely less ferocious than the bear.
Montreuil, taking an axe from his
companions hand, boldly awaited the
onset, and as Bruin leaped upon him
he dealt him blow, which Bruin,
who had evidentally been taking les
sons in the noble art, parted with his
paws, wrestling the axe from his hands.
Then Montreuil took to his heels and
plunged into lake near by, when as
he sunk into its muddy margin, the
bear pounced upon him, and proceed
ed deliberately to chew him up. He
tore him with his paws. and tore him
with his jaws, and slapped him in his
face, and turned him over and over,
and shook him, and then left him for
dead MontreuiPs companion mean
while stood by powerless with terror,
or afraid to shoot foI fear Of wounding
his friend.
When the satiated bear had left his
prey, his companion, finding him still
alive carried him to a grove near by.
He stanched the terrible flow of blood
as much as possible, and as he had no
means of removing him from there, he
built fire near him, and waiting till
he had revived little left some food
within his reach, and then started off
to oyertake a train that had recently
passed. to obtain cart and horse. -
He was one day absent. and on his
return he found his friend still there
bleediug--and almost unconscious. -
He lifted the poor fellow into his cart,
and was proceeding on his journey,
with scarcely hope of saving his fast
ebbing life, when fortunately they were
met by Red River train coming on
its way to St. Paul, accompanied by
DR.. Anderson, a gentleman connected
with the recent Northwestern Explor-
ing expedition. The Doctor, taking off
the bloody garments found the poor
fellow terribly mangled--almost liter
ally " chawed up" to use the word of
spectator. His wounds were dressed
as well as circumstances would permit,
and he was conveyed by quiet stages
to Pemhima, where, by last accounts;
there was little hope of his recovery
