A Ture Hero.

John Maynard was well known in
the lake district as an honest, intelli-
gent man. He was pilot on q steam
er from Detroit to Buffalo one summer
afternoon. At that time these steam
ers seldom carried boats. Smoke was
seen ascending from below, and the
captain called out, "Simpson GO down
and see what the matter u.s." Simp-
son came up with his face pale as ash
es, and said, Captain the ship is on
fire - All hands were called up
Buckets of water were dashed upon
the fire, but in vain. There were
large quantities of rosin and tar on
board, and it was useless to attempt
to save the ship. The passengers
rushed forward and inquired Of the
pilot, How far are We from Buffa-
10 ?" Seven miles. y " How long
before we reach it 2" Three quarters
of an hour at our present rate of
speed" Is there any danger ?"-
Danger here-see the smoke burst
ing out-go forward ifyou would save
your lives p Passengers and crew,
men, women and children, crowded the
forward part Of the ship. John May

burst forth in sheet of fire, clouds of.

through his trumphet; John May

the shore. Apain the captain cried

Spouse came feebly, faye, aye, sir !"

ger?" By Gods help I will."-
The old mans hair was seorched from
the sclap, ore hand disabled, his knee
upon the stanchion. and his teeth set,
with his other hand upon the wheel he
stood firm as q rock. He beached the
ship; every man woman and child was
saved. as John Maynard dropped, and

A Western Landlord.

A lady and gentleman we're travel
ing in Michigan, and having missed
the stage, were compelled to take
private conveyance from the town of
Scnderi to Thomastown The lady
had with her beautiful lap-dog,
which she carried in her lap on an EN-
broidered mat. During the ride, the
husband discovered that he had no
handkerchief, when the lady lent him
hers, which was fashionably scented
with musk. About half way between
the two towns, the carriage broke
down, in the midst of hard rain, and
they were obliged to take refuge in
the halfway house-a tone horse :"
log tavern, consisting of two rooms
a bar room, and iodging-room. The
lady laid her lap-dog on its mat before
the fire, and herself and husband took
seats. In short time the gentleman
had occasion to use his handkerchief,
and took it ont, leaving it on his knee
when he got through with it. In q
few moments the landlord opened the
door, put his head in, looked around,
went out, came in, gazed at the dog
his nostrils all the time up-turned in
intense disgust. He finally appeared
satisfied, went to the outside door,
opened it, came back with a bound,
seized the lap-dog's tail, and hurled
him bowling through the open door
full ten rods into the open forests.
The wife tainted the husband rose to
his feet, terribly enraged, and wanted
to know what he did that for. That's
my dog continued be, furionsly.-
Don't care cnss whose dog it is, !"
said the man, grufay and impetuously;
amt goin' to have no such blasted
smelin' yarmint around my tavern. !"
The husband and wife vacated the
house instantly, and proceeded on their
way in the rain.

How Old Reed was Converted.

The New York correspondent of
Western paper, tells the following
story for the benefit OF some hard
cases:
He says he once knew man by the
name of Reed, commonly known as
"Old Reed +" Reed was quite notori-
Gus in his way, and his religious be-
lief was that after death, he should
reappear in the form of an animal, and
thought he would be horse. Now,
Old Reed was hard man, and was
not in the habit of treating his family
as religious man should. One day
after his wife had endured his abuse
as long as humanity could. she con-
cluded to give him brief talking to,
to touch him upon his religious be-
lief.
So, resolntely seating herself by his
side, and looking him full in the face,
while tear drop glistened in her eye,
for she was serious and thought per-
haps he was correct in his faith, sch
commenced /: " Reed, wish to have
a serious talk with you / have some
thing to say 10 you, and you must
hear it. I have a duty to perform,
and shall do 1t, and then if you are
miserable hereafter, it will not be my
fault You believe, Reed, that when
you die, you will turn into some ami
NAL, and you think it will be horse
Now, if you keep on your present
course, and continue to neglect anG
abuse your family, squaLdering your
money for drink, and at the gaming
table, when yon die you will turn into
some old t,celue shilling horse, and
some dirty clan pedler will get you,
and yon will be hard worked AMI half
starved, and / shall see you every day
before ricketty old wagon filed with
CLANS Such will be your eternity.
But now, Reed, it needn't be so
your future may be bright and happy.
If you will reform and turn right
around, and become better man-be
kind and affectionate to your family,
why when you die, you will turn into
a foe hundred dollar horse, and
some West End Buck will get hold of
You, and give you a bushel of oats a
day, rub you down with pea straw,
and have you locked andyour tail set
upl He says Old Reed was straight
way converted, was reformed, and is
patiently waiting for death to intro
duce him to his coveted horse hea-
zen.

Prayer.

The river that runs slow and creeps
by the banks, and begs leave of every
turf TO let it pass, is drawn into lit
tie hollowness, and spends itself in
smaller portions, and dies with devo-
tion but when it runs with vigorous
ness, and a full stream, and breaks
down every obstacle, making it even
as its own brow, it stays not to creep
into little holes, but runs into the sea,
through full and useful channels. So
is mans prayer 1T moves upon the
feet of an abated appetite, it wanders
into the society of every trifing Incl
dent, and stays at the corners of the
fancy, and talks with every object it
meets and cannot arrive at heaven,
but when it is carried upon the wings
of passion and strong desire, a swift
motion and hungry appetite, it pass
es through all the intermediate regions
of clouds, and stays not till it dwells
at the foot Of the throne, where mer-
cy sits, and thence sends holy showers
of refreShment Jeremy Taylor.

Cont proceedings:
A lot of drunken aud disofdeFlv

A Wolf Story.

One Of the Maine papers in refer
ring to The early history of Biddle-
ford, in that State, and the ravages
of the wolves in the earlier days of the
colony, gives the following as one of
the incidents which occurred to citi-
zen of that place. He was one day
in autumn, it states, engaged in telling
trees, ct distance from his house. -
His little son, eight years old, was in
the habit, while his mother was busy
with household cares, of running ont
in the fields and woods around their
house, and often going where his
father was at work. One day after
the frost had robbed the trees of their
foliage, the father left his work earlier
than usual and started for home. -
Just at the edge of the forest, he saw
curious pile of leaves without stop
ping to think what had made it, he
cautiously removed the leaves, when
what was his establishment to find his
own darling boy lying there fast asleep.
It was the work of moment to take
up the sleeper, put in his place small
log, carefully replace the leaves, and
conceal himself among the bushes to
watch the result After waiting a
short time, he heard the VOLTS dis
tant howl, followed by another and
another, until the woods seemed alive
with the fearful sounds. The bowls
came nearer, and in few minutes a
large, gaunt hungry looking wolf
leaped into the opening, closely fol-
lowed by the whole pack. The leader
sprang directly upon the pile Of leaves
and in an instant scattered them in
every direction. As soon as he saw
the deception, his look of ferceness
and confide nee changed into the most
abject fear. He shrank back, cowed
to the ground, and passively awaited
his fate. The rest, enraged at the
supposed cheat, fell upon him, tore
him to pieces and deyoured him on the
spot. When they finished their COM
rade, they wheeled around, plunged
into the forest and disappeared. -
Within FIVE minutes after their first
appearance, not a wolf was to be seen.
The excited father pressed the child
to his bosom, and thanked the kind
Providence which led him there to
save his dear boy. The boy after
playing till he got tired, had laid
down and fallen asleep, and in that
situation the wolf had found him, and
covered him with leaves until he could
bring his comrades to the feast.

iron THE PRESS
The Artists Dream.
BY E. C. DE FRANCE.


An Artist sat in his dingy room
Mid brushes, palettes, and paints,
The only friends of his need and gloom,
Were a group of Ideal Saints
The last great work of master hand
That shared in his saddend plants.
He laid his palette and brushes down.
To gaze on a new wrought scene;
Twas Autumn dreamy, yellow and brown,
With golden sunsets CLEAN
And thought he saw glimmer of hope
Mix'd in with the dazzling sheen.
A hope of better and brighter days;
hope of honor and fame
When his modest works would gain him praise;
And household word his name
But alas he little, dreaming, knew
OfEarth and her chilly vein.
His heart still buoyed as he gaEed anew
On the mellow tinted scene
Where glimmering rays of sunset threw
Their threads of gold on a stream
And he thought he saw a mine of wealth
In the Day gods rosy beam.
All little you thought my dreamy friend,
Entranc'd in your work alone
That this world, thought 10th commend,
Was world of men Of stone;
And you might be prone to end your days
In your attic on crust and bone.
But worse it prov'd when the work reveafd
Its missien to the earth.
A hundred darts from sceptics sealed
A century of it's worth
And the gloomy news death blow came
To the genius of its berth.
And his bones a Potter's Field now grace,
And HIS work a prineely hall;
And sons of the men who did erase
His memory from us all,
Vie with each other in manly praise
Of his Landscape on the wall.
CONCLUSION.
1t is but way the world has got
Of giving the dell his due
When am laid in the grave to rot,
There's hearse to let for you
And our names with prosy rhymes wen ind
With DEATHS in the next Review.

THE FATAL TRICK.

Upon one evening party of collie
gisns and young bloods of the town
had met together at my room to play
and carouse In fact, it was a regu-
lar meeting of the hunters, who assem-
bled every week. We kept it jcllily
until midnight, having in time managed
to get full of Bacchus, when Somers
proposed that we should sally forth
and astonish the town by some well
planned and we'll directed piece of
mischief Without any one of us hav-
ing very clear conception Of our ac-
tions or intentions, we hailed the prop
osition with drunken rapture and
started forth.
A travelling managerie had arrived
in town the day before, and among the
wonders it contained was a young
bear. The poor animal had been beat
en- 70 well that he had become very
humble, and acquired a number of
amu3ing tricks OF this we were all
aware, having visited the managerie
the day be fOre. Just as we passed
the spot where the animals were con-
lined, it occurred to me what 1are
sport it would be to capture poor Bru-
in and place him in the chemical lee
ture-room, to astonish, on the next
day, tie professor and the class.
No sooner had / mada the propo-
sition to this effect than it was adopt
ed, and all volunteered their assistance
in carrying it into execution. The
tent or pavilion which covered the
beasts was erected in the great yard
of the principal tavern. The cages,
each containing one or more animals,
fron-grated boxes standing on wheels,
by which they had been dragged into
town. They we're ranged round the
interior of the tent, forming a circular
array of wood and iron. Not imagin-
ing that any one would disturb the
animals, the showmen and keepers had
retired to rest along with the inmates
of the tavern, leaving the tent entirely
unmatched. Thus we we're afforded
aclear field in which to execute oar
scheme. After several of our number
had been posted as sentinels, the rest
crept in under the canvass and enter
ed the arena. 1t was ONE time be-
fore we could, in the deep darkness of
the place, identify the cage in which
OR friend bruin had been placed to
sleep After stumbling over divers
things which lay scattered about, and
peering here and there in the dark we
found The object Of our search. There
in substantial cage, was the dim
outline of the animal, his two white
eyes flashing drops of fire at being
reused from his quiet slumber
The next difficulty that occurred to
us, was the mode of conveying him to
the college, which was several hum
dred yards distant. Some Of the
jewellers proposed that we should
throw halter around his neekssand o
drag him along. We rejected this,
not from any personal fear, since we
had arrived at that point which makes
one obliyious Of danger, but lest we
