relations in that vicinity, and overtaking the
"animile," jumped aslraddle Of brun, aud
after being thus carried for distance, Shat
fer vainly attempted to overpower the bear
with knife, the beast climbed tree, Shatfer
still clinging to his back. The bear, how
ever, rubbed" him off by going through the
fork of the tree and Fastening down, Shatfer
ran for his gun and shot the bear. This is a

is supposed, can be easily cultivated in our
country, and will form a valuable addition to
our stock of food for cattle, as it grows luxu-
riantly where grasses and grain will not
flourish. 1t is nearly related to the honey
locust of the Southern States; the pods be.
ing large and containing more than 60 per
cent. of sugar. When fed to stock, the pods
are broken in pieces.

THE HEAD OF THE HousE-A faithful
minister of the Gospel being one day engag-
ed in visiting some members Of his flock,
came to the door of house where his gentle
tapping could not be heard for the noise Of
contention within. After waiting little he
opened the door and walked in, saying with
an authoritive voice, II should like to know
who is the head of the house." "Weel, sir"

WAY TO RECEIVE BEAux.-Mrs. Murray
rdicules the morning dirt and negligence o

'.She is well dressed now; her dark hair is
smoothly banded, or plated in broad braids;
and behind her ears is a bunch of jasmine or
orange blossom. She isstanding at her win.
dow, or leaning over the balcony. talking tc
her Novio or lover, who for three hours OF
more, will remain beneath, smoking cigar
and sitting on three-legged stool! This is
the great delight of a Canarian woman; to
talk and flirt in the sight of all men; she up
in the balcony, he down in the street; she
with her fan, he with his cigar; and both
standing before the public enved by some
and admired by all. She does not always
remain in the balcony, though; for in the
cool of the evening the Plaza is 'all alive
with crowds of women in black, with black
eyes, black hair, and black mantillas.' Fans
futter like gigantic butterflies; cigars twinkle
like countless glow worms; and care has no
more root in Canarian soil. The Canarian
woman is we'll dressed beautiful, admired
and surrounded by adorers; and can any
Spanish woman desire more!'

Dean Ramsay's "reminiscences.
One of the neatest re.orts ever given, was
that which Lord Erskine met at The hands
Of Sheridan. 1t appears that Lord Erskine
declared at a large party, in which Lady
Erskine and Mr. Sheridan were present, "that
wife was only tin canister tied TO ones
tail" Upon which Sheridan presented Lady
Erskine with the following lines:
Lord Erskine, at women pretending to rail,
Calls wife "a tin canister tied to ones tall;
And the fair Lady Anne, while the subject car
ries on,
Seems hurt at his Lordship's degrading compar-
But wherefore degrading, conside Alright,
canister polished, and useful, and bright,
And should dirt its original purity hide.
That's the fault Of the puppy to whom it is tied"
A modern philosopher gives several potent
reasons why man should never marry for
money, but an old epigramist. views the case
very pleasantly on the other side:
whenever you marry" Croseus said,
Take one rich widow, or rich maid;
For any wife may turn out i'll,
But, CAD! the money never will"
There's great deal of truth in these
lines:
"We'll chase dull care away,
And Danish every sorrow,
Subscribers, pay your debts to-day,
And we'll pay ours tomorrow
