THE MOTHERS PRAYER.
BY THEoDoRE TILToN.

A mothers holy arms caressed
A babe that laughed upon her breast.
Then thus to Heaven she cried in prayer,
"Now even as his face is fair,
o Lord keep thou his soul within
AS free from any spot Of SIM
From Heaven the Lord an answer made,
"Behold I grant thee as thou hast prayed"
Within the door the darkness crept,
And babe and mother sweetly slept.
The belfry rang the midnight bell;
The watchman answered, "All is well"
Awakening at the cradle side,
The mother knew the babe had died.
With griefsto act woman wild.
She caught and clasped the marble child
Until her heart against his own
Was broken, beating on stonei
"Oh God |" she cried in her despair,
"Why hast thou mocked mothers prayer p
Then answered He, ''As have willed,,
Thy prayer, 0 woman, is fulfilled.
If on earth his soul remain.
His soul shall gather many a stain
At thy behest reach my hand
To lift him to the heavenly land p
The mother heard and bowed her head,
And laid her cheek against the dead.
And cried, 30 God II dare not pray
Thou answerest in SO strange way"
In shadow of taper's light,
She sat and moaned the livelong night;
But when the morning brought the sun,
She prayed, 'Thy will, o Lord, be donel''

when suddenly in rushed servant ex-

The hare, scratching his nose, stood up on
his hind legs, presented horse pistol at
the enthusiastic sportsman, and fired IN
return. No one was hurt; but the sports

it was explained to him that the hare was

THE SUNDAY SToNE.-In one OF our
English coal-mines there is constant
formation of limestone, caused by the
trickling of water through the rocks.
This water contai ins a great many partl-
cles of lime, which are deposited in the
mine, and, as the water passes of, these
become hard and form limestone. The
stone would always be white like marble,
were it not that men are working IN the
mines, and, as the black dust rises from
the coal, it mixes with the soft lime, and
in that way black stone is formed.
In the night when there is no coal
dust rising, the stone is white, then again
the next day when the miners are at
work, another black layer is formed, and
so on alternately, black and white, through
the week, until Sunday comes. Then, it
the miners keep on Sabbath, much lar
ger layer of white stone will be formed
than before There will be white stone
of Saturday night and the whole OF Sum
day, so that every seventh day the white
layer is about three times as thick as any
Of the others. But if they work on tho
Sabbath, they see it marked against them
in the stone. Hence the miners call it
"The Sunday Stone"
Perhaps many who, now break tho
Sabbath would try to spend it better, if
there was a "Sunday Stone" where they

ADVENTURE WITH A MONSTER
PANTHER IN MONTANA.

On Thursday of last week two we'll
known hunters, Messrs: j. L. Morreh
and j. E. Bennett, were out on the huDt
among the Missouri breakers" opposite
the mouth of the Dearborn, and while
searching in all directions for wounded
deer, the former ran foul of an animal
but seldom met with in the mountains OF
this or any other section of the territory
"A full grown panther.
Mr.. Morrell was at the time stealthily
making his way through the timber, and
was within twenty PAGES of the animal be-
fore discovering it. The ugly brute was
lying upon what seemed heap of brush,
with only his head partially visible, and
the hunter, believ. ng at the moment that
it was grizzly, took deliberate aim, aud
sont bullet from his rrusty Spencer ride
crashing through the brain of the animal,
The brute rolled off the brush IN full
sight of the hunter, when he learned his
mistake of the character of the beast, and
took the precaution to still further DAM
age his forstop with an additional Spen-
Ger pill, before ve1turing upon closer and
hoh0 Ah>lni"tO ood ouin l"iieo'
that he had "done for" this terror OF the
mountains, Mr.. Morrell, proceeded to
examine and afterward to skin the animal:
At the time it was killed it lay crouch
ed upon brush roof which the animal,
after gorging itself, had built over the
carcass of dead elk, victim to its fierce
ness and rapacity, Mr.. Bennett, who
yesterday brought us one of the monsters
paws-abeut the size of mans hand,
with claws the most formidable we ever
saw-gives us to understand that Its
weight was nearly two hundred pounds,
and its measurement from the tip OF Its
nose to the end of its tail was nine feet
one inch 1t is thought that this pan,
ther was one of the most formidable and
dangerous beasts ever killed in Montana,
and the bones human as we'll as brute,
scattered over the rugged country oppos-
ite the mouth of the Dearborn, were
doubtless torn and gnawed from the VIC
tins of this "Man-killer of the Noun
tains. "-Kontana Herald, Nou. II.

Public Schools.

In the years 1872 George 5. Boutwell, was
Governor of Massachusetts, Henry Wilson was
President of the Senate, and Nathaniel p. Banks
was Speaker Of the House of Representatives
all graduates of the public schools. 1t was quite
new era in the politics of that State. They held
the three most important political Offices in the
Commonwealth. They were all young men with
out any powerful friends to lean upon, or great
influences in their favor They fought their way
single-handed through everything that wealth
and prestige could bring against them, to those
high positions which before had been almost al
ways filled by what was called " educated and in
huental men," They have all continued in pub
lie life ever since, rising step by step to the most
responsible positions in the nation, Everybody
must acknowledge, without regard to party predi-
lcctions, their distinguished abilities and grand
success. Where else on earth and under what
institutions could such young men be educated in
free public schools so as to fit themselves for such
positions? They have undoubtedly felt the great
want OF higher education, and have labored un-
to acquire knowledge in every direction.
Had they graduated at Oxford or Cambridge, they
would probably have felt equal want aud neoes-
sity.
