SLEEPING WITH A BEAR.

Many years ago there was a distress.
ingly hard winter in Germany, and many
very poor people who had no fire at
home were glad to sleep in the stables
and barns of the wealty where it was
warmer. Ons man and bis family sought
re fugs in q barn were = bear was kept
in peu During the night little son
of the poor man supposinS the bears
pen warmer than any other part of the
building, crept in without knowing his
danger. The bear, however, was not
angry with him, but taking it as COM
pliment and . mark of confidence, took
the boy in his arms and hugged and soon
the child fell asleep. Ia the morning
the boy, leaving his warm bed-fellow,
went begging through the streets, and
returned to sleep with him again at night.
Soon the bear conceived such An affec-
ton for tho childs thai it made it . point
to retain part Of its food for him. So
even if tho little begsar was not success
full in getting food from others, bis friend
the bear, did not allow him to 90 sup

until one evening the keeper, on bring

er would take it from him. Thinking it
might endanger the child's life if he at
tempted to take it away, and seeing that
it was comfortably asleep. he went away.
In the morning however, he returned
with his master, the nobleman, to whom
he had related the strange incident, to OBJ
serve them. When the child had par
taken Of part Of the bear 8 food, and was
leaving the barn, the noblemau accosted
him aud learned the particulars of bis in

HUFNAGLE'S ELEPHANT.

The following we find in New York
paper, but cannot say where it origiuat-
ed: -.-
Mr.. Hufnasle purchased an elephant in
India, and brought him home nnder the
care Of native keeper. The design was
to teach him to do farm-work. When
the animal arrived, it was sscertained that
he could not or would not do such labor,
and so he was put in the stable of eoun-
try hotel, near New Hope, where he con
sumed enough sustenancs to bankrupt a
mau of ordinary wealth.
One day his keeper died suddenly,
and, as nobody else knew how to manage
the elephant, it was found impossible to
get him out of the stable. The landlord
rayed, and swore, and tore his hair about
it, but there that elephant stuck, with the
manifest intention of staying till the day
of Judgment, and of batterins down the
stable, unless he was fed.
At last, the landlord said that the ele-
phant must be got rid of somehow or
other, if be had to be blown through the
roof with gunpowder. SO an effort was
made to sell him. and mensgerie man
Was induced to buy him for 81 600
This man determined to bring that ele-
phant right along with strategy. He got
a car on the railroad track near by and,
after fixing bridge to it, he lined the
floor with bushel or two Of apples, gin
gerbread, oranges, etc. Then he made
regular pathway Of apple and cake al
the way from the stable to the car. IL
cost him 5000 for bait. The elephant
followed the trail slowly, eating it up
clean as he went, He marched upon the
platform, over the bridge, and he gorging
himself all the time. The menagerie
man stood there, expecting every minute
he would go clear into the car and finish
the thing up; but instead Of this, the
miserable beast deliberately stood still
and, with his trunk, reached all over the
car, and ate every solitary thing in it
Then he turned and swoopsd down the
road at the rate of IL miles an hour.
The landlord, mean while, was 80 glad
to get rid of the beast that he asked all
hands in to take something in honor Of
the event The party were just putting
their glasses to their lips when q smash
was heard at the branyard gate. and q
laundering crash indicated that the stable
door was Knocked into diminutive flinders.
The crowd rushed out, and there was that
very same elephant in the very same old
place
The landlord was so mad that he
couldn't swear with sufficient vigor to
satisfy his feelings. 80 he got the crowd
to listen to him while he read 16 chapters
Of Horace Grseley's Table Talk" out
loud. This relieved him for the moment
but the next morning Hufnasle's elephan,
was found dead. and there was though,
to be some connection between this cir.
cumstance, and the fact that the landlord
was seen rolling barrel Of rat-poison up
an adjacent hill upon the previous even

mo use grumbling; you would come,

tramp; 80 let us be off"
We were, we judged, somewhere in the
town of Grafton, Maine, on the head wa
tiers of Bear River. tributary of the
Androscoggin. We had come up the day
before, with hounds, after moose report

Yesterday had been beautiful Indian

winter had now burst down upon US with
hail and snow. driven by the cutting
northeast wind, which sighed and howl
cd with November dreariness through the
leaden forest.
The moose had Jared much better than
his hunters, for after leading us off stead
ily into the wilderness, he had now left
us to get back the best way we could in
storm and darkness.
Our party consisted of five; the 'doc-
tor" young medical student. jus: out of
school and never in the woods before !;
Brown, a returned cavalry man, my
brother Tom and myself, then boys of
fifteen, and lastly, Sanders, an old back
woodsman who, in his younger days, had
been a river driver, but lattcrly hunter
and trapper. Twas queer party, col
lected ratherh astily, to crafty the doc
tors ill-timed enthusiasm to hunt moose.
Sanders was the only one possessing the
slightest knowledge Of woodcraft.
For two or three hours we tramped on
steadily. following the river, and consol-
ing ourselves, as best we might, with the
reflection that, provided we didn't get
lost, we should get down to some farm
house by midnight, possibly. 1t was
now past FIVE o'clock, and getting quite
dark, when we suddenly noticed that the
forest lightened up ahead, and few mo-
ments later we came out into large
opening on the stream, containing a big
building of some sort.
"Hurrah !" shouted the doctor; "there's
a house "
"Not house exactly" said Brown,
straining his eyes to reconnoitrc. Il
should call that barn."
"Hay-far here, I guess" said San
ders; "where they cut hay for The log
ging-camps. No house here"
"No light anyway" said Tom.
"Well, then," cried the doctor, strik.
ing out across the clearing, "in lack Of
a house, we will try the barn."
We all followed; any sort of a shelter

soon stumbling around the corner of a
great deserted structure of rough boards,
