party in eathersfeld, Y t., week
or two ago, found, as they supposed, a
bear track crossing the road near the
hotel twice, followed it up a steer hill
for about forty rods, and came to a
kind Of cave. The dog was sent in,
but came rushing out at once, with
evident signs of fear The party
thereupon closed up the mouth of the
cave, and went for reinforcem ents.-
The following day about one hundred
and fifty persons assembled at the
cave, a hole was broken through the
top, and a stout ash stake was thrust
in it was instantly seized and large
piece torn off. Another was then
lowered, the supposed bear seized it.,
was drawn to the hole, and received
a revolver ball in the head. The
screaming which followed is described
as most terrifying a second time
this operation was repeated, and the
charge took fatal effect. The hunters
were somewhat surprised to find IN
the cave male panther, seven feet
long, thirty-three inches high, and
weighing over one hundred and TWEEN
ty-one pounds, the largest ever killed
IN Y ermont.

Learning a Trade.

1t was wise law of the Jews that
the sons of even their wealthiest men
should be obliged to serve an appren-
ticeship to some useful occupation so
that they might have something to
" fall back upon" The same still
exists in Turkey, where every man,
even the Sultan himself, must learn a
trade. How fortunate would 1t be
now, had it been law in this coun-
try. f" Would to God l had trade =
is the cry of thousands Of men, north
and south, who find themselves ruined
in pocket with no immediate prospect
Of gaining a livelihood. Il should
teach parents that whatever else, they
may give their sons they should give
them a good trade One of our CO.
tcmporaries most,truthfully remarks,
that a popular idea among the people
is that all of their sons should adopt
clerkships, and the adoption Of the
business Of bookkeeping as means
of obtaining their livelihood, and every
effort is made to give them an educa-
tion to that end So far as the edu-
cation of their children in the science
of keeping proper accounts IS con-
cerned, the idea is good one, as ev-
cry young man should have sufficient
knowledge to properly manage his own
books should he ever embark in bust
ness klt to make book-keepers and
clerks Of all our boys is a grand mis-
take. Better place them in work
shop, mill or foundry, where they can
learn independent trades, which at all
times will secure for them employ
ment, the pecuniary compensation for
which Will be at least as much, if not
more than the business of accounts.
We earnestly advise all parents to
teach their sons some trade, no matter
what, so it is an Industrial pursuit !;
and let US in the future be spared the
pain of seeing so many stout, able
bodied young men out of employ
m ent.

One REASON FOR MARRYING. - 4
bachelor friend Of ours is about get
ting married for no other reason than
to have some one to take care Of him
when he Is ILL., The treatment he
received at a fashionable boarding
house, the last time he had the ague,
has cured him not only Of single life,
but single bedSteads and single mat
tresses. He ordered, he says, the
servant TO bring him some Cruel on
Monday morning, but which he never
got till " ednesday afternoon. Du-
ring his confinement, not a single soul
visited him save the young gentle
man who cleans the knives; he came
not for the purpose Of consolation, but
TO inform him that " Misses would be
much obliged if Mr.. Skeesick would
do his shaking on a chair, SO as not to
get the bedstead apart" This was
the feather that broke Skeesicks
bachelorship. From that moment he
resolved TO connect his fortunes with
a piece Of dimitv.

Ayoung married lady, boarding at a

had placed her wedding dress, and
found it horribly soiled. Ar inquiry
resulted in ascertaining that ser
want girl at the house, wishing to

dress, worn it, and replaced it as she
thought, in good order, The skirt
was all bedraggled with mud; the
front stained with the drippings of
lager beer, the breast bore the un-
mistakable impress Of the adventur-
Gus hands Of loving beaux And the
trimmings were torn and soiled, in
fine, it was 4 wreck. It had cost the
lady over $500. The lace Of which it
was partly composed and decorated
was of the finest point, Of the most
delicate finish; and Of the highest
price; while the fabric for the dress
itself was matchless for its elegance.

AT Milwaukee, lately. during a
heavy storm a little boy fell into a
snow-drift and was lost to sight. Af,
ter he had been buried for an hour,
his friends began to search for him
Meanwhile one of those who seemed
most uneasy at the absence of the boy
was 4 dog, who was a great favorite.
Approaching the place where the boy
was buried. the dog stopped, snuffed
the air, and whined piteously. He
then began trying TO dig into the drift
The party then began digging and
throwing aside the snow The dog
dashed in beneath their shoveIs, and
found the boys cap. He evidently
knew to whom it belonged, for as he
dragged it forth it gave him great 10Y
and he barked gladly. Here was a
trace, at least, but it was not without
fear and trembling that the search
was continued, and with the help of
the dog, who seemed as earnest as any
of the party, the boy was soon found
there in his snow-bed. The little fell
low had suffered no injury whatever,
he said it was quite warm in the snow,
and that he wasn't afraid because he
knew his friends would come for him

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.-A few davs

the Chicago legislator and said
" All how do you do sir? You got

The honorable drew himself up with
a consequential patronizing air, and
said:
"Oh, yes. l got elected" D."

Another insane fellow said to his

" Why, you know the man"
Oh, I know him." says the other.
It was noticed that the member did
not speak to another lunatic during

have plenty Of dutiful vassals.
Have plenty of gold and TO spare,
have plenty of beautiful castles
But my castles are built in the air;
And my vassals are all airy creatures,
From beautiful Dreamand are they,
They drive me 10 balls
And magnificent halls,
And tell me my coach stops the way
But oh, what pest,
When ii comes to the test,
| am kept in dreadful delay.
plague on those wide little vassals,
You can't trust a word that they say,
And I've heard that my beautiful castles
Are sauly inclined TO decay.
Father Wisdom advised me to sell them
10 the public-a benefit clear
And Fancy engaged so to sell them,
For Fascy's fine auctioneer.
But the market by no means was lively,
For castles the call was but cold;
Lead and iron were brisk,
But gold none would risk
10 invest on my battlements bold,
so my currents, unlet,
inhabit them vet.
And rather rejoice they're not sold,
And never bit am down-hearted,
For my vassals still ply me with gold;
My castles and | shan't be parted
Till the heart of the owner be cold.
Again Father Wisdom addressed me-
He's horrid old bore in his way;
He said rats and mice would infest me,
! AS crumbled my towers to decay.
"They never can crumble. good father,
They're lasting, when once they're begun;
Our castles of air
We can quickly repair,
As the home of the spiders respun."
So homeward went
To my castles content,
As the vesper-bell told day was done,
And they look'd just as lovely as ever,
AS burnish'd they stood in the sun.
Oh, ne'er from nv castle I'll sever
Till the sands of my glass shall be ruu!
