A mountain exchange tells of band of
Indians who made sudden attack on a
band of soldiers in the mountains. The sol
diers had mountain howitzer mounted on
a mule Not having time to get it off and
put it in position. they backed up the mule
and let drive at the Indians. The load was
so heavy that mule and all went tumbing
down the hill toward the savages, who, not
understanding that kind of warfare t1e / like
deers. Afterwards one of them was cap
tured, and when asked why he ran SO. replied:
Me big iniun, not afraid of big guns orlit-
tie guns. but when white men load up and
fire whole jackass at injun, me don know
what to do. -

Select Poetry.
HASTE NOT-REST NOT"

Without haste without rest ~
Bind the motto to thy breast;
Bear it with thee as spell,
Storm or sunshine. guard it we'll;
Heed not flowers that round thee bloom
Bear it onward to the tomb.
Haste not let no thoughtless deed
Mar for aye the spirits speed;
Ponder well and know the right,
Onward, then, with all thy might;
Haste not! years can ne'er atone
For one reckless action done.
Rest not life is sweeping by,
Do not dare before you die;
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind to conquer time;
Glorious tbs to live for aye
When these forms have passed away.
Haste not rest not, calmly wait,
Meekly bear the storm of fate;
Duty be thy polar guide,
Do the right whate'er betide;
Haste not, rest not Conflicts past
q God shall crown thy work at last.
