latch was broken, and il would only keep
shut by leaning against il. There was a
hole where the latch had been, through
which we could look, and the light of our
candle enabled us to watch the move
ments of the bear.
"Bruin came in, shifted round, went up
to the stove, apparently surprised at its
unusual warmth-the fire had gone out

and finally curled herself up in a heap,
and went to sleep, her cubs beside her.
Never did experience such night
Neither of US dared to sleep or speak; all
we could do was to sit on the cold floor.
leaning against the door, and whenever
the bear moved, watch her.
"She was very uneasy; several times
she went to the outer door and made a
low growl, as if calling another, walking
back and forth from the door to her
sleeping cubs, keeping us in constant
fear as to what might happen next
Fortunately our candle was long one,
and continued to burn steadily on the high
shelf where we had placed it until the
gray morning light crept in, then our
visitors rose, and silently stalked away,
and we watched them go over the opposite
side from which we came.
"Thankfully we opened the door, and
soon a bright fire warmed our benumbed
limbs, and more hot coffee refreshed us.
"The storm had passed; the sun rose
bright and clear, and climbing to the
house-top, we enjoyed most glorious
view, and the discomforts of the night
faded away.
When we got back to the tavern that
night, we told our adventure, and a party
of men started in pursuit of the bears,
but we did not hear if they found them,
for our vacation was nearly over, and We
must go back again to factory life.-Ihc

Tale Of q Changeling.

OWING to the critical condition of
Governor Palmer in relation to the poll
tics of the day, we have sent special
commissioner from the Democrat Office to
keep watch and chronicle of his minds
mutations. The following bulletins for
yesterday have been received:
Eight a. m. Cbefore breakfast)- Woke
up in favor of the Cincinnati Convention.
In making his toilet, however, he burst
button, and then declared that Schurz
never did go right. He would think
about it.
Ten a. m-Having eaten hard-boiled
eggs, which do not agree with him, he has
determined to withdraw entirely from
politics.
Twelve m.-His excellency is worried
and wavering.
Three p. m.-Ate hearty dinner and
is hot for Grant. He will stand by the
Philadelphia nominee to the bitter end.
-Four p. m.-Just walked from a post
prandial nap. Is not so much for Grant
as he was, but thinks there is great deal
to be said on both sides.
Five p. m.-Hostility to Grant increas-
ing. Reviews the Sheridan matter, and
is firm for Cincinnati.
Eight p. m.-(after tea. HAS been in
teryiewed by newspaper correspondent,
to whom he has given assurance of fdel-
ity to the Republican party.
Nine p. m.-Sends for the newspaper
correspondent to assure him that he omit
ted the word Liberal" when he spoke
of his devotion to the Republican party.
Ten p. m.-Just before retiring he fiips
a copper-heads for Grant, tails for Gin
cinnati. 1t falls sideways into a crevice
in the floor, and he thinks he will sleep
over it.
Ldtest--It is thought that while pulling
off his left boot he made up his mind in
favor of Grant and Philadelphia but
just before stepping into bed he trod on a
nail in the carpet, which materially
changed his views. He is still in doubt,
though after his fitful Hopping he sleeps
well.-lS. Louis Democrat, April %.

"You put up ez Chairman a defaultin'

That unfortunate remark cost Joseph

for several weeks, and wuz weak, and ez the
Ku-Klux law hez deferred our people from

Don't Depend on Father.

Stand up here, young man, and let US
talk to you. You have trusted alone to
the contents of your fathers purse, or his
fair fame for your influence or success in
business. Think you that ''father" has
attained eminence in his profession but
by unwearied industry or that he has
amassed fortune honestly without ener-
gy and activity? You should know that
the faculty requisite for the acquiring of
fame or fortune is essential to, nay, in
separable from the attaining of either of
these. Suppose 'father' has the "rocks"
in abundance, if you never earned any
thing for him, you have no more business
with these rocks than the goslipg has'with
tortoisel And if he allows you to med
die with them until You have gained them
by your own industry, he perpetrates un-
told mischief And if the old gentleman
is lavish of his cash toward you, while
he is allowing you to while away your
time, you had better leave HIM, yes, run
away, sooner than be an imbecile, or
something worse, through so corrupt an
influenced Sooner or later you must learn
to rely on your own resources, or you
will not be any body.-Erchdnge.

world drinks the Juice from that bunch of

world drinks the juice from that bunch of
grapes London alone drinks twice as
much as is produced, both good and bad.
There is sold and consumed at least one
hundred times as much as is produced.
Follow a gallon of real juice from the
press on the banks of the Douro to the
warehouse in Oporto. BY the aid of beet
whisky, elderberry juice and water it is
made into five. In the London Dock
warehouse it grows into ten by the addi-
tion of potato whisky, red saunders and
other drugs. In New York it takes
dose of strychnine or belladona whisky,
and opium, and logwood, when it swells
up into twenty gallons. In wholesale
house there it grows to forty gallons by
the help of whisky, stramonium, red
saunders, logwood and sulphuric acid.
Then the retailer doubles it into eighty by
adding tobacco juice, water, burnt su
gar, and aloes, and sugar of lead. These
are simple facts. Now, tell me. do you
want to run the gauntlet of all this in
famous line of drugs and poisons? Talk
about pure liquorl / fear the last man
that has seen drop of it is in his grave.
This is the character of the enemy that
confronts you. This is the foe that seeks
your life. And one amazing thing is his
ability to conceal his true character. He
seems to be your friend and smiles upon
you, but while he smiles he strikes you
like Ahab under the fifth rib. He tor
ments you, yet so tempers his torments
that you dream of pleasure. He steals
away your health, yet makes you imagine
you feel better He is a false doctor
whose first visit makes room for fifty
more, and whose last is with the under
taker for your body. He is perjured
partner who exhausts your capital and
for your wealth gives you the ragged,
shivering sense of destitution. Look in
that cupl 1t sparkles, and dances, and
sings. There is fortune at the bottom.
Bring it to your lips. See, that spark
ling bead has turned to eyes! They
glisten and beam and scintillate like dia
monds. They are set in a low, flat,
sleek head 1t rises above the glass and
charms you. 1t towers above you. Be
ware! That is Deattu Touch that glass
and thou shalt die!!!

WHEN YOU WE'RE A LITTLE GIRL.

By A. n. POE.
When you were little grill 1t seems
The very queerest thing
To think our grandma wore bib,
And drove the cat with a stringl
Did you have hat in summer time
With great broad brim, like mine:
And didn't il hang at the back Of your neck
When you wanted to smell the shine!
How coald You dlirdys be seen and not heard
And didn't you romp nor fuss:
And wasn't fun as funny then,
To you as il is to us
What kind Of a doll did you rock to sleepf
An old-fashioned one, know;
Did it have housef grandmai say,
Did you ever stump your toey
shouldn't wonder you went to school,
And sat on Susle's side;
Did ever a mean boy make you mad,
And call you gall when you cried:
What lots of berry beads you strung,
'spect, and glass ones, tool
Did you ever giggle out, and then
P'tend it was MT you!
To think you sCere a little girl,
1t don't seem one bit truef
/ rather kept on having fun,
And played the whole way through.
How big was Santa, then, and did
Your grandma trim the tree?
And say my baby all the same,
And you as old as me?
Dearl but I'm tired in my head
With wondering ell about
This grandma: why she didn't stay
A girl, / can't find out.
! guess know place TO rest
Now sing and pet my curls-
wouldn't give my grandma up
For big, round world OF girlsl

The New York DOg.POund.

WITH the setting in of the first hot
days, fiat goes forth from the municipal
authorities, ordering that all dogs run
ming at large without muzzles are to be
destroyed by the police. In connection
with this arrangement is the Institution
called the dog-pound. The dogs are tied
up within the enclosure with the bits of
dirty string by which their captors have
dragged them to their ''vile dungeon"
Most of them are coiled away in feverish
sleep, shaking and whimpering in dream
as though haunted by bodings of their
approaching fate. At the farther end of
the room there is a large tank Fitted to
this, in such a way that it can be pressed
down into it, is strong wooden grating,
and the tank is further provided with a
hose through which it can be filled from
the river below. Two or three squalid
young men, in dirty flannel shirts and
cow-skin boots, are lettering about the
place. At signal from the policeman
in charge, these men go in among the
dogs, and, selecting the commonest of
them, seize them one after another Dy the
necks and hind feet, and pitch them into
the tank, the sides of which are so steep
and slippery that there is no possibility
of the wretched animals scrambling out.
And now the lamentations set up by them
are pitiful to hear. From their tremu-
lous whines one can tell that they are per-
fectly conscious of their impending doom.
They seem to be as certain of the death at
hand as are the passengers of ship foun-
dering at sea- When dogs enough have
been thrown into the tank, the water is let
in by means of the hose; the grating is
fitted to its place and pressed down upon
them; and the LOB" as the executioners
call it, is done.
The eagerness with which the better
class of dogs confined in the pound watch
for visitors is very remarkable. AT every
footstep that approaches, the most intelli-
gent of them will start up, spring to the
end of their tethers, and eagerly scan the
features of the comers. When an owner
comes to reclaim lost favcrite, the joy
of the creature on recognizing him is
touching in the extreme. Some of the
dogs try to ingratiste themselves with any
strange visitors who may arrive. Once,
on visiting the pound, remarked a par
ticularly bright-looking young terrier,
very shaggy as to his coat, and of unusu-
ally large size The efforts made by this
knowing fellow to conciliate visitors were
very amusing. If his tongue did not
speak, certainly his eyes did, and his tail
was absolutely eloquent. On lnqulrlng
of the policeman, / learned that dogs of
that class were not usually put to death,
but were kept for reasonable time, and
then, if not claimed by owners, sold for
a trifie to some person who would be sure
to come in and take a fancy to them. 1t
is in this way that the dealers often pick
up presentable dogs; and so l am fain to
hope that the young terrier with the vehe-
ment tail soon found good master, and
was installed in comfortable home with
first-rate rafting on the premises. Charles

No saucy, ravishng, girlsh grace,
But settled calm on the sweet, pale face;
No sparkling chatter and repartee;

Yet to me she seemeth the queen of girls:

We're riches hers, or beauty rare
She would lose her charm, become less fair:
Were rings to shine on those fingers small
