Big Bear slOrr.

The Ludington (Mich.) RseoFd SAYS
that little girl named Flynn, living in
the woods about forty miles from that
place, disappeared recently for thirty
six hours On examination by the
father and some gentlemen, who were
looking up land in the vicinity, bear
tracks were found, and it was supposed
that she had been carried off and de-
voursd. The gentlemen alluded too
had wandered about and as they were
passing a sWampy spot where the un-
dergrowth was thick, they either called
the child or else were talking loud one
of them heard the child's voice. He
then called the child by name ard told
her to come out of the bushes. She
replied that the bear would not let her.
The men then erept through the brush,
and when near the the spot where the
child and bear were, they heard a
splash in the water, which the child
said was the bear. On going TO her
they found her standing upon a log ex-
tending about half way across the river.
The bear had undertaken to cross the
riyer on the log and being closely pur-
sued, left the child and swan swa7.
She had received some scratches about
the face, arms and legs, aud her clothes
we're almost torn from her body, but
the bear had not bitten her to hurther,
only the marks Of bis teeth being found
on her back, where in taking hold of
her clothes to carry her be had taken
the flesh also. The little one says the
bear would put her down occasionally
to rest, and would put his nose up to
her face, when she would slap him,
and then theibear would hang his head
by her side and puTr and rub against
her ike a cat. The men asked her if
she was cold in the night ond she told
them the old bear would lay down be-
side her and put his arms around her
and hugged her to him and kept her
warm, though she did not ike his long
hair. She was taken home to her pa
remit, who could hardly express their
JOY at her safety.
The supposition is that it is a female
bear, and having lost her cubs, came
across the child and adopted it. Steps
are being taken to caPta5e the bear,

ATakina shingIes Last.

Shingles that are painted will last
much longer than when putson in the
usual way. Some advise the use of tar
before using or tarring the upper end
of the shingles after each course is laid.
Mr.. Emmerson, Of Hollis, Mass, says,
in a communication, in the New Eng
land Farmer, that shingles laid in
White-wash will last twice as long as if
they had not been treated with the
lime, His plan is sometimes to soak
shingles in thin white-wasi made with
brine instead of clear water. At other
times he laid his shingles in white
wash. When this last courseis adopted
be iaes each course of shingles as laid
with red-chalk, then white-wash the last
course laid down to the line, and after
the building is shiugied the whole roof
is white-washed. He speaks of roof
covered with sappy and shaky shingles
that had lasted twenty years, and would
last several years longer. In mailing,
be puts the nails sbouttwo-inehes apart,
and does not drive them down but
leaves the heads so as to keep up the
butts of the next row of shingles to a.
low circulation of air. -,-s -sre.-r

Faith of a Pioneer.

One of the very first Methodist
Preachers in the Maumee Valley related
to us the following incident of one of
his parishioners, illustrating the faith
of many Of the hardy pioneers of this
regeon in the experimenting providence
of God: With his family, the former
was located not far from the present
site Of Toledo. The period referred to
was one of great scarcity of food among
the scattered settlers, and especially in
regard to meat, thus making anything
in the shape of eatable flesh in great
demand. The family in question had
been without such for long time, and
had little dependence for supply, ex.
cept in the large game which rovsd the
neighboring forests,
It was under such circumstances, that
on a Sunday morning the son of the
pioneer came into the house, for the
''trusty rife, !" saying to his father that
doe was at a derrick near by. But
what was his surprise when the father
quietly said, 'John this is the Sabbath ;
you should not use the gun to-day" :"
"But father, replied John, "you know
we have no meat in the house, and this
is the first chance we have had for q
long time to get suy."~ ''Very true,
john" said the father, "but let US not
do evil, that good may come to us
The Lord will provide for those who
trust in Him." With a shake of the
head quite significant of the faith which
prefers ''one bird in the hand to two in
the bush" John abandoned his plan
for getting a meal of venison. a
The next day the father came in from
the fields, saying, "Now John you may
get your gun. There is game out here
worthy your aim" Taking his rifle
and going in the direction Of the lick,
John soon discovered the same doe as
seen before, and with her large and
splendid fat buck. Getting position,
be soon fred away, bringing the noble
deer at once to the ground. AS he
brought his game to the house he was
met BY the father, with reminder that
had he shot the day before he would
have got only poor. half starved doe,
almost worthless for food; whereas, by
waiting he had securei l a prizs to be
proud of John conceded that the faith
of his father was best after all.-Tols-

easier at such times than they can in

that course, and form the habit of do

As nature indicates the time to labor,
so does she even more plainly, point out
the time to rest In the "still hours of
night" Nature sleeps and rests, and so
should mau. Man requires on the
average, when in health, about eight
hours sleep out of the tWenty-four and
should all be taken during the hours
of darkness. In sickness, it is often
well for the patient not only to sleep all
night if he can, but also to sleep some
in the day time. In health day sleep
is unnecessary, if night sleep can be
had. Severe labor of any kind should
not be performed either a short time
before or soon after eating; but light
gentle exercise or recreation at such
times is not only not Objectionable, for
personsin health, particularly, but Of de-
cided advantage. No one should labor
with the mind or body while suffering
from pain or fatigue Under such cir
sumstances labor exhausts vitality with
great rapidity. The universal remedy
for fatigue is rest-MorristoWn Gazette.

The general impression is that death
by suu-stroke is very painful, but the
contrary would seem, to be the fact.
Judging from the following account Of
the effect of such a visitation, given by
Gen. Sir ]. Napier, He experienced an
attack while in Scinde, where the ther-

have been to boiling lobster, and wrote
as follows to one of his daughters: /:

my hope is to die by one, for never can
death come in an easier shape. I was
just deadly sleepy; it was deadly had 1
been left alone; but the only feeling of
the transition would have been a tired
ness, like that experienced at being sud
denly walked up before time. This was
to degree almost to be called painful;
then came a pleasant droWsiness, with
anger that the doctors would not let me
sleep. Were it not for others, would
that my horn had sounded; so easy,
so delightful, may say, was the ap-
pfoach of death" This resembles the
accounts that have been given by men
who have been saved from freezing to
death, after having got far down into

and excess of cold produce precisely the

EDITOR JoURNAL:-If sailing through
the country in four wheeled cart, up
and down these Berkshire mountains,
is considered a pleasure, I should pre-
fer a short ride and fewer pleasures.
At least 80 thought after a ride of
twenty-four miles, feeling that 1 had
experienced enough of the "ups and
downs" of life. One unaccustomed to
these roads feels more secure when
walking on solid ground than he does
in rolling through these mountain
passes in a ricketty vehicle; yet the
driver assured me he had never been
quite killed, though hair breadth es-
capes we're among his every day amuse-
ments.
New Boston, situated in the south
western part of the State, is small vii
lsge shut in from the world by noun
tains which rise almost out of sight,
and we look around in wonder to see
from whence we came. Remembering
that l was in the very heart of Yankee
land, natural curiosity prompted me to
visit the mandatory of wooden nut
megs, but after fruitless search learn
that the business has long since been
abandoned. Up the river stands a
match factory, but instead of the cele-
brated Yankee match nothing is made
here but the common friction matches.
One might as well believe the stories of
Yankee ingenuity as to attempt to trace
out their proof The country through
the western portion of the State is
mountainous; about one-fifth of the
land is cultivated; the four-fifths being
pasturage and timbered land. Farmers
here who own but few acres are COLI
sidered in good circumstances. The
more he owns the poorer he becomes.
l have heard it said that to test their
cheese they take them to the top of
some mountain and let them roll down (;
if they find them at the base without a
mark they are pronounced fit for market.
1 have never seen this done. In some
places farmers are just commencing
their haying; in others they are nearly
through. For the past two weeks the
weather has been dry and hot.
When the time comes that we can
ride through the air in the eriaI car
and the traveller can be set down on the
top of the highest mountain Oh in the
deepest valley, then the scenery of New
England and its rough and rugged
country will be enjoyed as they cannot
be in tedious stage ride up and down
its mountains. g. B. PRATr.

than does the ordinary grade Of news;
nothing could be duller than many tel

many advertisements For advertising
has reached It's proper place in public

made a subject of earnest study. Busi-

they study tie Whols art accordingly.

seductive stories which beguile the
reader into an advertisers store. Hence,
advertisements are a curious index Of
human character, being dull, verbose,
pithy, straightforward, polished, blunt
witty, or the opposite, as their writer's
happen to be, and in a certain sense,
advertisers are writers Of essays for
prizes, for upon the superstition that
their business is conducted with average
sagaeity, those who write the best win
win the largest prize of public patron

the oftenest renewed advertisements are
the most readable snd the best paving,
