A LESSON OF GRATIrUDE.


A gentleman was once making inqui-
ries in Russia about the method of
catching bears In that country. He was
told that to entrap them. a pit was dug
several feet deep, and after covering It
over with turf, leaves, etc., some food
was placed ON the top. The bear, IL
tempted by the bait, easily fell into the
snare. I..l ..Gssg-f -
s'But, !" he added, eff four or five hap
pen to get together, they all get out
again., a8t -
Chow Is that?" asked the gentleman.
1. ''They form sort of ladder by step
ping on each others shoulders, and
thus make their escape" ,fat
''But how does the bottom one get
out?" .s.,5
"Ah! these bears, though not posess-
ing mind aud solf such as God has
given us, yet can feel gratitude; and
they won't forget the one who has been
the chief means of procuring their lib
erty. Scampering of, they fetch the
branch OF tree. which they let down
to their poor brother, enabling him
speedily to join them In the freedom In
which they rejoice" sirss,r ,oe
Sensible bears, we should say, are a
great deal better than some people that
we hear about, who never help Eany-
body but themselves. .li -. - +.
