A HUNTERS PERILs. last, week, two
men, whose names were not ascertsined,
were deer hunting on the southern branch
Of the Cass river, in Sanilac county, Michi-
gan, and meeting two deer fred at them,
and wounding one--when tho deer ran in
opposite directions, each hunter taking after
one Of them. He that took after the woun
ded deer was not long in ovcrtaking and
killing him, when ho proceeded to the start
ing point, but before arriving there, he ne
ticed that bear had crossed his path
Leaving his vcnison, he took after the bear,
and in about one hundred rods travel came
within twenty feet Of him in small cedar
marsh. Ho now attempted to shoot him,
but his rifle hung fire, when the bear rushed
furiously at him, and fierce encounter en-
sused, resulting in the hunter severely
wounding bruin and his voluntarily leaving
of the engagement. An hour afterward,
when found by his companion, the hunter
was in an extremely enfcebled state from
the loss Of blood, being frightfully lacerated
on the chest and lower extremities. lie
was carried distance of two miles to
shanty, and lived but four hours. His rifle
barrel was ben: nine inches from direct
line. ...i.as ..-.- e,.. r Isa. Hr.l -..

EFFECTS OF TEA ON THE SYSTEM. The
Boston Journal Of Chemistry publishes a
lengthy article on the proprieties of tea in
the course Of which the writer says it is no
matter Of wonder with him that the brain.
workers, in all the years since tea was intro
tuccd, have regarded it with the highest
favor. 1t bas power to subdue irritability,
refresh the spirits and renew the energies
such as is possessed by no other agent
When the system is exhausted by labor or
study cup Of tea invigorates as no other
form Of food or beverage can. He thinks
it promotive Of longevity, and adds: "Tea
saves food by lessening the waste Of the
body, soothes the vascular system and af.
fords stimulus to the brain. The young do
not need it, and it is worthy of note that
they do not crave or like it. Children will
frequently ask for coffee, but seldom for tea
TO aged people whose powers of digestion
and whose bodily substance have begun to
fail together, it is almost a necessity"

TRERBLEENes ADVENTURE.

The town of Liverpool. in Nova Scotia
situated about sixty miles from Halifax, is q
place of some magnitude for colonial out
port. 1t is, and always has been, remark
able for the neatness and comfort of it,
houses, for the activity and enterprise of its
people, and for the wealth and well-being ol
all who choose TO be industrious and inclined
to lay up worldly goods. The intercourse
with Halifax, the capital of the province,
was, at the period of which we speak,
chiefly kept up by smart and dashing little
craft, called the Liverpool Packet, comman.
ded by Captain Bass, which piled weekly
between the two places throughout the
spring and summer months, laying up du,
ring the severity Of the winter, when the
communication with Halifax was, for the
most part, limited to weekly post by land.
About the year 1915 or 1916, as the sea
son for navigation was drawing to close, a
great number of passengers went to Halifax,
as was the custom, to replenish their stores
for winter, while many heads OF families
proceeded thithcr 10 purchase clothing,
groceries, &cs for their private winter stock
and as this was to be the last,gtrip Of the
season, the little baraue was crowded with
some forty or fifty passengers, chiefly fathers
and mothers of large families who were left
at home. .-..-..a,...,.,
The voyage to Halifax was prosperous -
The voyagers made their purchases and in
due time tho Liverpool Packet was ready to
return. All the passengers embarked IN
good spirits, and the barque sailed chaerily
down the harbor, and proceeded for her des-
tination. =" o1 l.'as .,, /, ?
A few hours after ler departure there
sprang up one Of those terrific northwesters,
so well known on the coast Of Nova Scotia,
and blowing with the utmost fury for sever.
al days, attended with intense frost. It was
clear that no vessel could keep the coast
she must either put herself before the wind
and run out to sen, or all perish miserably
by reck and the rieor Of an atmosphere
twenty or thirty degrees below zero. A

JOHN MISUNDERSTANDING was in a
tavern, lying on o sofa in the parlor, wait
ing for the stage to come to the door. A
dandi6ed chap stepped into the room with o
whip in hand, just come from drive, and,
standing before the mirror arranged his
hair and collar, quite unconscious Of tho
presence Of the gentleman on the sofa.-

The credit system Of busines has some
few advantages, but none to compensate for
the mischief it entails. It'll to the system
of mercantile credits that We owe all the
bankruptcies that ccur-amounting to from
ninety to ninety.fve per cent. Of all persons
engaged in mercantile pursuits. The exis.
tonce of credits compels good customers to
pay for losses incurred by bad ones. II
makes it possible for swindling to become O

fords for the unprincipled to prey upon the
industrious. 1t taxes labor to the amount
Of many millions annually, no man being
able to sell as low for credit ss for cash.
This additional tax, occasioned by bad debts,
delay in payment, and expense in collecting
contingent and doubtful debts, Is finally
paid by the consumer. ...r ..,,.,

'a Nor LOTTERIES, BUT SwrNDLEs. Judge
Pierre in his charge to the Grand Jury said
HE was happy to say that such things as
the Gettysburg and Washington Library
schemes, which were enothingmore thanlotter-
es, were passing away, vanishing from sight
by the action Of the Legislature in repeating
the acts creating them. The community
had reasons for congratulation that the per-
nicious system of lotteries was thus sup
pressed" The happiness Of this Judge
will be shared by all honest citizens; but in
this matter, the language Of his charge
might have been even stronger, without
transcending truth. To speak Of the two
schemes named as "things," and as "noth-
ing more than lotteries,"i is to fail to ftly
characterize them. Lotteries are bad enough
but there is some show Of honsty about them
sufficient to secure them legal recognition, in
some Of the States But schemes, in which
all the valuable prizes exist only on paper,
and in which the drawings if they ever do
take place, take place by stealth, are clearly
unalloyed swindlers, as many Of our simple.
minded citizens have discovered by expo
rience. ''

vidual thought, and the most unlimited
freedom Of individual right. Whenever
our legislature has invaded this fundamental
privilege Of tho member, it is departure
from the true spiritof Odd Fellowship. We
consider tho correct understanding Of the
vested rights Of members, to form one oi
the constituents Of tho true Odd Fellow.
Such man will never, under any pretext,
either Of expediency or underlined powers
vested in the laws Of tho executive authori-
ty, trench one atom on the guaranteed rights
of his brother members. These are sacred
with him rs is the personal property or the
individual characters Of our members.
They are inalienable-they arc consecratcd
by the governing law Of Charity, and the
principle Of Fraternization, which binds US
together. ........'
We need not add that the true Odd Eel
low must be a benevolent man-not only
within the prccints Of his own lodgc-room,
but he must carry his philanthropic spirit
into general practice. The Odd Fellow that
is cold, calculating, avaricious, heartless
man in his intercourse with the world, lis q
living libel upon the Order ho has falsely
identified himself with. ..
We will not enlarge the picture We have
endeayored to sketch Of the true Odd Eel
low. 1t is not an imaginary one; there are
hundreds Of our members who might set for
the portrait; men who ate governed in all
their actions as Odd Fellows by the great
principles we profess, and are rendered
thereby more valuable citizens and better
men. The application We would draw from
our remarks is to enforce closer study Of
the real obligations we have assumed by bo-
coming members Of our Order, and by this
process avoid the disgrace attached to those
who do not act up to "the character OF A
True ODD Fellow" "-Me american Odd

Your voice is like your Mothers,
When she, like you, was young
All well do remember .. ..F

She's sleeping in the church-yard,
But why be sad tonight?

As burning tear-drops start; - '

Good night, good night, my darling,
Sweet dreams be thine, tonight;
Old memories throng upon me-

How much she's like her mother
She, too, has gone to sleep
Beneath the church.yard willows,
And am left to weep.
NY precious child, my darling,
The world but little knows
How sad my days, and lonely, .,.
My nights without reposc;
How books have grown distasteful,
How laughter pains my car;
How commonplace to Inc, love,
The words, words, words hear.
From those who do not know me,
And, therefore cannot feel
That deep, deep, deep loneliness,
! seek not to reveal. ....'. H..
But thou 'rt to me my world, love;
