of the issue of the conflict. To cut the
cord would have been the only mode of
separating the combatants in this unequal
duel; but had let fall my broken knife in
the pampas grass, and a gaucho clings to
his lasso with the same mechanical i'm
pulse that causes seaman to hold fast to
shroud to stay. "Let go the rope!' l
called out to him as loudly as l could.
"Loose the end from the saddle-ring, and
let the brute go!' But Juan paid no heed
to my advice, but spurred his struggling
horse, uttering. at the full pitch Of his
voice, the "tiger call of the herdsmen.
The child had crept close to me, and was
holding to my coat weeping and calling on
his absent father, and his presence embar-
raised me, for wearied and Gisarmed as
was, l felt eager to come to the aid of the
bold lad who had saved me from the very
jaws of death; but just at the moment
that the mulatto girl, Charles nurse,
came running down the hill with sobs and
outcries in search of the truant charge
who had strayed off while she was thread
ing scarlet berries for necklace, four Of
our mounted men came laundering down
with cherry shouts and lassos whirling
aloft; and in very short time, the alliga-
tor, strong and savage as he was, noosed
and entangled by the plant cords, stabbed
with knives and beaten down by 5olas, lay
dead and harmless.

BATTLE WITH AN ALLIGATOR.

l was returning from the half-built sugar
mill one day, perhaps month after my
first arrival at the hacienda, at about four
o'clock in the afternoon. l was riding
homeward, then, thinking of many things
of friends that | should never see again
in the flesh; Of
"What was that? A cry of pain ?"
Yes, cry certainly of pain or terror-the
shrill appealing cry of a child's agonized
voice; and started, and wheeled my horse
toward the quarter from which the sound
seemed to come. The cry was repeated
more feebly than before, and as | had now
no doubt as to the direction whence the
call for help proceeded l dashed across a
ravine, and, scrambling up the steep bank
opposite, came in sight of the chain of
lagoons connected with the mighty Rio
plantations of rice and tobacco, on the
banks of which had shot many 4 snipe
and fiamingo. Here, at the edge of a
cane bordered creek that run up from the
nearest lagoon into the broken ground,
where the hillocks were gay with purple
rhododendrons and the wild geranium,
beheld sight that chilled my blood with
horror.
Close up to the margin of the water,
knee-deep in the flowers and tall pampas
grass, just where the white and yellow
pond lilies mingled with the rich colored
blossoms of the lowered prairie, was a
child-little Charlie-Don Miguers hope
and heir-his one tie to life and his aifec-
tions-the boy stood, rooted to the ground,
transfxed by terror, crouching down, his
blue eyes dilated by mortal fear, fixed on

eY A writer in a Western periodical
talks in the following outlandish manner:
"The greatest danger now threatening
our public schools is that they will become
refuge for INDECENT young ladies. In
every Board of School Commissioners there
will be one or more soft-headed individuals
who make it their business to provide for
all the widows and orphans of the city, and
do so by billeting them on the schools
The injury done by a bad teacher is always
incalculable, and often irreparable, and if
a teacher is inefficient, her poverty should
be no reason why she should be continued
in school. Poverty is not vice; nor is it
virtue. And those teachers who claim
situations on the score of poverty are prin,a
faeie disqualified for the position. And
yet, literally and figuratively, teachers gain
preferment in our schools on account of
their poverty. We have noticed, too that
the ostentatiously poor teachers are capable
of indulging in extravagances which those
who do not make living by poverty never
dream of. In fact, they know that their
situation is secure whether they do any
work or not. When accused of failure in
everything pertaining to their business,
they have only to put the upper right hand
corner of their handkerchief to their left
eye and say, m poor!' and their position
is assured, though 1000 children may be
morally slaughtered and mentally damned
to make the experiment successful. We
have noticed, too, that these poor teachers
are ignorant-absolutely illiterate-and we
wonder how they ever obtained a certif-
cate, knowing that, under ordinary circum-
stances, they could not pass fifth grade
examination. But then we remember that
their watchword is, "Pm poor" and the
truth is apparent. So we would say to
teachers ambitious of success: "Don't be
patient, or Industrious. or well-educated if
you want an assured position; be poor!

Why do people read advertisements

what is going on. To see if there is
anything new, or anything that they
want. To see if the seasons styles
have come in, and to find out who has
them. To know it any one is selling
off at reduced rates, or to watch the
chance of an auction. For amusement
To satisfy curiosity. Because they

Because they want to. Because they

The power of print is well known
but not we'll understood. A printed
sentence has a wonderful adva alag,

This is n of the many reasons which
gives an Importance to advertising. Blu
advertisers, even those of experience
do not comprehend as well as the,
might the capacity to influence, to pr

ed matter. Spoken words require tn,
graces Of elocution and the force O
e%loquence, yet even then fade away in
to nothingness if not caught in thei
fight and printed. But there is some
thing in the silent language, the quie
assertion and the sense of permanenc
about printed matter which gives it
marvellous force Inc infuernce. Bus
ness men should never permit them
selves to loose sight of what may b
