thy's dream, he started up, erected his val
and gave fierce growl like that of a tiger
heard through the wrong end of telescope.
Poor pussy" said we, soothingly, and rose
TO ascertain what might be the excitement.
In the pale moonlight we saw III. G.. creeping
along an adjacent roof (once for all, when we
reler 10 Horace Greeley in this article we
mean the cat, not the candidate.) Bismarck
bounced Off the window and on to the roof,
WITHIN two yards of Horace. III. G.. glanced
at Bismarck, who returned the phijosophic
gaze. Neither moved an inch. Bismarck
sounded long note of challenge, of the most
ear-torturing description. Horace renIied
with malignant howl. Then their united
voices made night hideous. Next one cat
made spring-although one swallow does
not make . summer - the other cat
made vain attempt to dodge, a wild
struggle, feline profanity on the part of
Horace, tufts of fur ON the evening
breeze, momentary truce, another awful
preparatory veil and Bismarck and Horace
were in for the second round. They thumped
each other against the chimneys with re-
sounding force, they resolved themselves into
an undistinguishable mass from which eight
paws madly gesticulated, two tails waved like
banners and four green eyes cleaned promis-
cuously. Then Bismarck selected himself
from the pugnacious aggregate and rose, a
victor. We will not dwell upon the sad
spectacle of Horace's defeat, he Withdrew
from the scene of battle with an air of entire
subjugation aad left Bismarck alone in his
glory.-AttGnta Weekly.

Children i'm the Woods.

very touching story, similar to the old
tale of "The Babes in the Woods,' comes to
us from Green River in the town of Hills
dale. A few days since three children of
John Foley, residing on the mountain east of
that place aged respectively four, six and
eight years, became lost in the mountain
woods. The first was little girl, the other
two were boys. They went out to play near
the house, and strayed away after huckIeber-
ries into the woods. The mother missed
them and blew her dinner horn all around for
mile near the house, but could get no an
swer. That night it rained very hard The
next day word was sent to the village of
Green River by the frantic mother, and all
the people turned out and went in search of
the children. Every man was fitted out with
bread, meat, and stimulants in case they
should find them. All was vast wilderness
for miles around, so the men went in differ
ent directions.
Fears were entertained that the children
might be attacked by wild beasts, as a Mr..
Charles Jones, while hunting on this mount
ain had discovered three wild cats, which es-
capped before he could get near enough to
shoot them. The mother stood in the door,
wringing and twisting her hands, encourag-
ing the hunters to be vigilant, for she said
they were barefooted and bareheaded, and
would soon starve; they were never away
hOul HOlIC DtlOIF, anu Tie nearest mousse was
about three or four miles distant. and even to
this they had never been.
About O'Clock little son of Mr.. Ingersoll,
while hunting in the woods for lost cattle,
discovered the three little creatures huddled
together under a tree and covered with
leaves. They put up their hands and began
to cry when they discovered the boy Ingersoll.
He led them along to the open field and so on
to the house, and the Joy of the mother NAV
well be imagined. She ran to meet them,
screaming and crying and catching first one
in her arms and hugging that for moment,
then letting it down and taking another one
and pressing that to her heart, and so on for
nearly an hour before she became calmed.
By this time all the hunters had returned
from the search, and they too had to kiss and
hold the children, and unbidden tears came
to the eyes of great stalwart men who had
never known tears since their childhood
One of the men took the little girl in his
lap, and asked her if she slept any. She re-
piled laughing:
Yes; l put on Johnny's cap, and put my
feet on Pat, and the rain came right down
on me.'
When found they were all wet to the skin,
and would most likely have died in the
course of another day if they had not been
found. They say they heard their mothers
dinner horn that night, but dare not leave
the tree that they were under for fear of get
ting further away.-Hudson IN. Y. Regis

PuRGATIvE PILLS have become a settled neces-

tics always have been and always must be
used, in some form, by all mankind. In this
country the pilular form of administration has
been growing in favor since pills were first
made of Aloes and Rhubarb, rolled into a ball.
Their high position in the public confidence
has finally been secured and fastened into per-
manency by AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS, the
