Presently he saw the smoke curl
ing from under the rocky shelf,
and as he shot past his ears were
greeted by the welcome crack of ia
rifle, and one of the lions tumbIed
over dead almost at his feet. The
voyager also turned toward the
rock. Jules had reloaded. His
unerring aim stretched the remain
ing hon upon the ice, and Nicho-
olas was saved. It was some
months, however, ere he recovered
from the superhuman efforts made
by him in his race for life.
The next summer he served as
a guide, and it was while fishing
in this same river that he related
to the writer his thrilling adven-
ture. ld

Stokes, the murderer Of Fisk,
has comparatively an easy time at
Sing Sing. He wears the prison
garb; is locked up in his cell at
night, and of course does not 90
outside of the prison walls. Be
sides this he is scarcely more con
fined than an ordinary clerk in a
New York mercantile house. His
hair, cut short when he entered the
prison, is drifting away from the
penitentiary style, and his beard
is allowed to grow. He was for
awhile in the hospital, where he
had his quarters night and day.
He is now in the buckle depart
ment, where heis clerk, and proves
himself capital bookkeeper. He
is getting enormously fat, and saws
be has not been in as good health
for years as he is now. '-'A

We start in life an unbroken
company ; brothers and sisters,
friends and lovers, neighbors and
comrades are with US, there is
circle within circle, and each one
of US is at the charmed centre
where the hearts affections are
aglow, and whence they radiate
outward upon society. Youth is
exuberaat with joy and hope; the
earth looks fair, for it sparkles with
May-dews yet, and no shadow hath
fallen upon it. We are all here
and we could live here forever.
The home centre is on the other
side of the river, and why should
we strain our eyes tolook beyond? ?
But this state of things does not
continue long. Our circle grows
less and less. 1t is broken and
broken, and then closes up again ;
but eveIy break and close
makes it narrower and smaller.
Perhaps before the sun is at bis
meridian the majority are on the
other side; the circle there is as
large as the one here, and we are
drawn contrariwise and vibrate
between the two. A little longer,
and we have almost crossed over;
the balance settles down in the
spiritual side, and the home centre
is removed to the upper sphere.
At length you see nothing but an
aged pilgrim standing alone on
the rivers brink, and looking earn
estly toward the country on the
other Gde.s In the morning that
large and goodly company rejoic-
ing together with music and wine;
in the evening, dwindled down to
that solitary old man, the last Of
his family, and the last Of his gen
Grafton, waiting to go home, and
filed with pensiye memories o.
the long ago. ,.,aCl ~

An Indian OF the Mamie tribe
owed lawyer some money. He
brought the amount to his creditor
and waited, expecting the lawyer
would give him a receipt.
What are you waiting for2 said
the lawyer. 7IE II i
Receipt, said the Indian.
A receipt said the lawyer-re--

receipt? Do you understand the
nature Of receipt Tell me the

Igot into the cars in juxtaposi-
ton to a female. That females
face was a perfect insurance com
pany for her. It insured her
against marrying anybody except
a blind man. Her mouth looked
like crack in dried lemon;
there was no more expression in
her face than there is in a cup Of
cold custard. She appeared as
though she had passed through
one famine, and got about two
thirds through another. She was
old enough to be the great grand
mother Of Mary who had a little
lamb. I was full of curiosity to-
hear her speak, so / said: The

Horrible Deed.

The Portland Bulletin says, we
were informed that week ago
Friday eight drunken soldiers of
Vancouver, by some means, en-.
ticed Miss Miller, a young girl
aged thirteen, to spot near the
cemetery, a short distance from
the barracks, where they poured
whisky down her throat, and by
force subjected her to the most
fendish outrages. For some time
did these eight vile wretches-to
whom the name of murderer
would be base flattery-hold the
almost hfeless child in the grasp
of satanic outlawry. Her body
and face were torn and bleeding,
and a more pitiable sight never
lay beneath the clouds of Wash
ington Territory.

HOPES.

Hopes are but waking dreams,
As baseless as the wind;
No silver cord is strong enough
Their phantom wings 20. bind;
In elearest light, asin the night,
They cheat the strongest mind.
Daily they dawn and die,
Like buds that with cold and wet
Are blighted on the blooming tree,
Pre- the fruit begins to set;
Button and on, till life Is gone,
We trust their promise yet.

Kingdom into the German confederation which he

greatly irritated and has declared that they will never

THE OAK.

Mark yonder oak with mighty arms stretched high
As If they would unlift the lowering sky
Shaking a hundred hands in every blast
At spirits in their cloud cars riding past.
With what magnificent Titanic grace
II looks the bOundless heavens in the face
And mods its towering head toward the earth
As If it had been crowned its king at birth.
OF many gnareled swell and knotted limb
IL makes an organ chanting Natures hyun,
And in her shriilest and her deepest chords
Siugs with expressiveness too keep for words
or generations that have come and gone
Like shadows of its branches on the lswn,-
OF generations that shall pass away
Ere bows its stately stature TO decay.
Doth not its song the ages story tell,
Talk TO thy heart and I'LL its immost cell
With Natures freshness dained by potent roots
From her deep breast into It's tender shoots
Till all its leaflets glimmer in their sheen
And dance like fairy myriads on the green?
Drink, soul! the life, the spirit and design
Of yonder oak, for they are Visdom's wine.
Believe that giant hath itc soul aud speech,
Its lesson of the Infinite to teach.
Stands it not there Gods embodied thought
Breathing the wisdom which its grandeur wrought
Whispering the secrets which the zephyrs steal,
Or groaning the arcana thunders peal
Discoursing, like a sage and prophet too,
or all Omnipotence hath done and yet shall do?
