A DARING HUSTER.--Louis Kelley is,
perhaps the most daring and successful In
dian hunter in the great West. He travels
alone, fights alone, wears complete suit
of buckskin and wears n turban around
his head when out on the prairie. He ia
said to be graduate of college, and
halls from Virginia or South Carolina. 1t
is thought he was u Confederate officer. He
is about thirty-two years of age, handsome,
well.formed and muscular. The Indians
dread him as much as they ever did Kit
Carson or Daniel Boone. He never misses
his mark. An Indian is as good as dead
the moment he draws sight on him. He
will travel weeks at time through hostile
Indians, and never express a thought of
danger. Kelley is nov on a trip to the
headwaters of the Yellowstone, q country
never yet visited by any white man. = He is
alone. He has been known to dare dozen
Indians on the open prairie to fight him in
II body. No Indian will ever get within
REACH of his deadly rifle.

A HOME OF Your OwN.-One of the
greatest faults of our time is the frequent
occurrence of "moving day." even among
people who have money enough at least to
commence house. and pay for it in few
years. The wear and tear of furniture, the
money spent for matching and piecing car
pets, aud for new ones often when old ones
have been ruined, not to say anything of
the time lost in your hunting and fixing up
new places, would also 60 a great ways to-
wards paying in carelessness and miscalcu-
iation, for house of your own, where
such Kings would not occur.
20 the young people just beginning life
no better advice can be given than to have
o home of their own somewhere, Buy a
piece of land, and own it with the deter
mnation to keep it as long as you live, and
to leave it to your heirs. If you have no
money except what you earn yourself, then
scrupulously save and lay aside a part of
your income until you have enough to pay
for a piece of land. To be the owner of q
homestead will have a beneficial effect
upon your character. 1t will increase your
You will feel that you have substantial
position, and something at stake in the
community in which you live. The habit
of saving you will have formed in the saw
ing of money to purchase piece of land
will in itself be valuable to you. 1t will
aid you greatly in acquiring other property
and becoming independent. The tendency
of this is to make you more self-reliant,
more ambitious, more industrious, careful,
and better citizens. The knowledge that
you have a home of your own will add
greatly to your happiness. The feeling it
engepders is a source of constant satisfac-
ton. There is one spot of earth which
you feel particular interest to improve
and beautify. With that spot your
thoughts and affections become identified.
You learn to love it it is like an enchant-
ng friend; it becomes an unfailing source

In California forest of a thousand acres.
you can scarcely find a tree that is not
dead and crumbling to decay. No fire has
swept over it, no lightning scathed those
naked, bleaching pines. This ruin was
wrought by little insects Larvae, not
larger than a grain of rice. What hun
bred axemen could not accomplish by
years of hard labor, this seemingly insig
nificant insect sent its feeble offspring to
perform. One alone could have feeble
power, it is true, but millions were mar
shaled, and all tho skill of man could not
stay their course. Such is the power of
little sins. Performing the same act over
for even two or three times in succession,
the habit is formed.
