A SLIGHT MISTAKE BY HUNTER

A SLIGHT MISTAKE BY A HUNTER
This is what happened to- North Caro-
lima coon hunter while "the brilliant
November moon was riding in the azure
vault, affording her queenly lights" H.
was out hunting in what are termed
the slow woods" when the hoarse notes
of Ehis dog told him that the warm int,
whatever it was, had taken to tree. APP
preaching, and no wishing to sp nd
his strength in telling the tree, he cpn-
cluded to climb it. No sooner said than
done up he went, and just about the
time he was making ready to give the
!" critter shake out" down the anms
came with sudden rush, and, avoiding
the dogs, reached another tree and en-,
sconced himself amid its branches. Moth
ing daunted, our hunter again puT-
sued him this time he obtained clear
view of the unknown, and came to the
conclusion that it was the biggest raccoon
that he ever saw. Again the something
descended with fearful rap diy and
again he was up another tree. This time,
however, his bulk was clearly i0rcepti..

POE
From the Prairie Farmer
TRAMPLE NOT UPON The FLOWERS.

Don't trample on the flowers, while looking 8
the stars.
There are many Chances upward,
In the dark and Silly night,
when the starry host are marshalled,
In their radiance calm and bright,
When the bands of Old Orion
In their xiory shine again,
Still the brightest constellation
Ofthat grandly moving train.
And far in the northern distance,
Shines the steady polar star,
Yet a sure and trusty pilot,
On the lrackless deep aiar.
When the "MiIkywsy'' in beauty,
Like an archWay spans the sky,
And the wandering sister planets
Seem TO pass us slowly by;
Till the hosts OF worlds beyond us
Fill our hearts with silent fears,
And the majesty of motion
Sounds the harmony Of spheres, |s
Where the arm of God Almighty
In its power is portrayed,
By Tue everlasting circles
Of these shining pathways laid.
Through the soul there comes a longing
For a life that shall keep time
To this harmony OF movement,
This clear. melody OF chime.
For life that shall bring music
To the hearts OF those around,
Free from every no't Of discOrd,
Every harsh, uncertain sound.
j.. We forget earth's lesser beauties,
In The brilliant scene O'prhead,
And the fragrant blossoms round US
Ruthless tall beneath our tread.
We forget the same Creator
Formed the tiny fOw'rets sweet;
Sent their pureot fragrance upward,
AS they lie beneath our feet.
There is many bud of gladness,
Many flower OF hope and love,
That could Level find its being
In lite ike thai above.
There re blossoms OF forgiveness,
SOwn by faith and hope and prayer,
In the lonely heart OF suffering,
That can blossom only there.
Shall we crush them by our longings
For higher, greater sphere?
Shall we shield these fragile tendrils,
That can flourish only here.
LOwIy be the pathway given,
ThOrny be the road we read
Yet their presence my be cherished
And their fragrance round rs shed.
Be content with prrsent duty,
Though it greater deed dehars {;
Never trample on he flowers
White we're looking AT the stars.
