we have known very kind people, kind
in feeling and in action, who kept up an
unceaslng flow of laut-iindng. There
was Aunt Bascom, who pitied poor folks
as much as any one in town, and was al

hard to bear, how much worse when a

Some parents seem to think tina, the only
way to bring up children is to keep their
faults before their eyes. They

DEATH OF DR. LIVINGSTON.
One can scarcely credit the now too true
report of the death Of the warrior in the
cause of humanity aud civilization. So
long have we been accustomed to consider
him as bearing charmed life that the In

labors is well nigh incredible. But assu-
rance is now made douby sure, and DR..
Livingston is TO be placed among the few
really great explorers who have given
their lives TO our race and science Scot

LONDON, Feb 10th, 1874.

man is disappointed WHO had expected that
the combined influences of secret voting
and household suffrage would produce an
assembly unlike any of its predecessors. 1t

be missed, and several new voices will be
heard, but in the main, the Parliament
which will meet on March 9Th. will, in no
very great degree, differ from the last.
There will be the usual allowance Of aristo-
cratic and wealthy members and a cOpious

An army officer relates this queer incl

men, were employed recently on detail duty
few miles from Fort Still, Indian Terrific
~. They were surround by hundred Co.
manches with hostile intentions. The SOL
diers took to the only available shelter, an
old buffalo Wallow, where in an uncom-
Portable position they managed to protect
their bodies and keep the Indians at a dis
tance for the day and night. The next
morning, suffering for want of food and
water, something energetic had to be done.
Corporal Smith tore off piece Of his white
shirt and rote on it note describing theiI
situation. He tied this to the neck OF a
small dog which had followed them from
the fort; then battering up canteen he
fastened it 70 the animals tail, and giving
him kick started him off yelping. The
Indians, thinking it a mere act of bravado
paid no attention to the dog. Within two
hours he reached the tort and aid was i'm
mediately sent to the beseiged soldiers, tn,
