GOING AWAY.
Do not be angry with me
For an idle word | say;

Do not be angry with me
For an idle word say;
Do not be angry, father,
Because am going away.
Have patience with me, my mother,
Though Lmay have none with you
But love You, 4 love you, mother,
Whatever say or do.
Look kindly upon me, sister,
You are beautiful and gay:
Your days will be long and happy,
But l am going away.
With me II you could but read il,
Clear written on cheek and brow,
There Is no past, no future
Only brief calm Now:
A little space to be glad in
A lesser space TO grieve;
And LIES whole scene fades from me,
As the landscape fades &C eve.
Except-that eve shall see not,
Ny day is ended at noon;
And the saddest bit of the story
Is-it does not end too soon.
/ am so weary, wearyi
i could turn my face to the wall;
Like sick child, long before bedtime,
Drop asleep among you all:
So glad that lessons are over;
Still gladder that play is done;
And dusky curtain stretches
Between me and the sun.
Goodbye my father and mother!
Two of you-and but one of me!
And, sister, you'll find some stranger
Much closer than could be:
One more-but deaths quiet teaching
Is making me slowly wise:
Ny heart, too poor for his keeping
Thou, God, Thou wilt not despise:
My soul, too weak for earth's battle,
ThOu wilt grid up anew;
And the angels shall see me doing
The work L was meant to do;
The work that l ever failed in,
And wept DER and tried again,
TIL brain and body and spirit
Snapped under the cruel strain.
That is over. So, none need be sorry :;
You rather ought to rejoice,
And sing my rdde la pacem
Without break in your voice;
And let me part contented,
Before the heat of the day;
For l shall be still Gods servant,
Although l have gone away!

ed to Hazen's aid, attacking the
bear in the rear. The shaggy
brute maintained his ground
against his two assailants for q
short time, but finally from loss OF
blood and lack Of that strength
which at any other season would
have been much greater, he was
forced to succumb, and fell bleed
ing and dying at their feet. A
rife ball ended the existence he
had so fiereely battled to main
tain. Hazen's clothing was about
all torn from him and he had re-
ceived several ugly flesh wounds
on various parts of his body.
These were dressed, and after q
short rest the hunters concluded
to finish the other two bears that
remained in the cavern. These
they knew were cubs, and they did
not anticipate any great trouble in
dealing with them. They deter
mined TO adhere to the smoking
process, and accordingly fire was
made farther in the cave, and soon
dense smoke penetrated to every
corner of it. But a few minutes
elapsed before 4 bear was heard
breaking thraugh the 1aurels at a
different place from which the first
two had gone out. Presently it
broke through. 1t was about half
grown. Casting a hasty glance
around at the hunters, it started
to run off in the opposite direc-
ton. Its course was stopped by
ball striking it in its fore leg.
Bear like, it raised up on it's
launches at this and turned a full
front to the hunters, growing and
snarling furiously. Another shot
brought it to the ground and kill
ed it.
Shafer and Hazen were positive
that there was another bear in the
lair, but all attempts at smoking
him out failed. Neither of the
hunters cared to venture within
the cave, as they had quite enough
of wrestling with a bear. Failing
to get the bear to come out, they
began reconnoiterlng for a place
where they could see into the
den, with the object of shooting
the remaining bear. They finally
succeeded in cutting a hole
through the laurels at point
where the interior of the cavern
could be seen. Building a large
fire to light it up within, they dis
covered the bear crouched back in
the farthest corner against a rock.
Two shots fired into it dispatched
1t, and the hunters dragged it out
in triumph. Being somewhat ex-
hausted with their days work the
men concluded not to start in pur-
suit of the fifth bear-the one they
had wounded earlier in the day.
Returning to this place they pro-
cured assistance and the four bears
were brought in.
This was the most successful
and daring bear hunt ever known
in the Pike county region, and has
created quite a sensation.

DR.. De Murmon, in the New York
Medical Journal, tell us. He charg-
es the use of spirits with a direct
cost to the nation of 100000, 900

indirect cost he makes even greater.
When you tell me, therefore, of the
whole amount of national revenue,
subtract from it that which comes
from this source, because it is no
gain, but represents q dead loss
and loss of that kind of which no

loss of security to life and honor

cides, murders and hopeless graves.

MOTHER GOOSE NOT A MYTH
Mr.. VIM. L. Stone, of New York
city, writes as follows to the Pro
violence journal:
In the January number of the
Braunonian appears a well-written
and interesting paper entitled
"Mother Goose's Melodies" In
the first paragraph is this sentence
''Here the traditional bard is Moth
er Goose, of whom nothing certain
is known, = But more
than the name history does not re-
veal" In this statement, however,
the writer is in error; for, so far
from "Mother Goose, being q
creature of fancy, she was, we beg
to assure him, a vertible person
age.
The mother-in-law of Thomas
Fleet who was editor in 1871 of the
Baston Weekly Rehearsal, was
none other than the original Moth
or Goose-the Mother Goose of
the world famous melodies.
Mother Goose belonged to a
wealthy family in Boston, where
her eldest daughter, Elizabeth
Goose, was married by Cotton
Mather, in 17I5, to Fleet, and in
due time gave birth to a son.
Like most mothers-in-law in our
own day, the Importance of Mrs.
Goose increased with the appear
ance of her grandcKild, and poor
Mr.. Fleet, half distracted with her
endless nursery ditties, finding all
other means fail, tried what ridi-
cule could effect, and actually
printed a book with the title:
"Songs for the Nursery, or Moth
er Goose's Melodies for Children,
printed by T. Fleet, at his print
ing house, Pudding Lane, Boston,
Price ten coppers."
Mother Goose was the mother
of nineteen children, and hence
we may easily trace the origin of
that famous classic:
"There was an old woman who lived in
4 shoe,
She had so many children she didn't
know what TO do
