A Lively Bear Fight

While coming up the lake shore an In.
dian encountered a huge bear in his path,
aud although only armed with knife and
hatchet, he resolved to capture the bear, or
at least make an attempt. He procured
sharp stick and fastened the knife to the
end Of it, boldly attacked bruin, who stood
his ground and showed fight. Lo made .
lunge at the animal, but before penetrating
the hide the knife turned on the stick and
became useless. He then attempted to dis.
patch him with his hatchet, and had des.
perate fight, but was overpowered by the
brute, who got him down and began leisurely
to ",haw him up" The Indian was bitten
twice 10 one leg and on his arm and shoul-
der very badly, besides receiving q fright.
full scratch on his forehead. The bear, no
doubt thinking his adversary dead or suf-
fciently punished, walked of into the woods.
The Indian, more dead than alive, managed
to drag himself to farm house, some two
miles from the scene Of the hght, being two
days making that distance. Here his
wounds were dressed, aud there are hopes
of his recovery. 1t is hardly likely that he
will again attack full grown bear with.
out more formidable weapons than knife
and Ratchet, even IL he lisa big lnjun.'--

test. Natural, simple people don't like
them and that is pretty good test. They
seem stiff and "pokerish," and present re-
ligion in on intensely disagreeable aspect.

Right Beginnings.

We all know how hard IL is to 60 on

When we rise in the morning, as We some
times do, with aching head, and throbbing
nerves, our bodies devitalized and all the
life forces at low tide. it is not easy to
speak gently, and be good-tempered, and
meet everybody with a smile of love. Our
Christian grace needs to be in full exercise,
and we must draw largely upon heavenly
help if we are not to make others unhappy
aud overshadow our homes with gloom by
our looks and words Breakfast time gives
the turn to the whole day. If father is
stern, aud mother is cross, if the big brother
gives a short answer, or the young lady
sister frowns over her coffee, the little
children catch the infection. One dscord.

4 Plea for Immortality.
BY REV. DAVID SWING.


That man is of the highest order Of be-
ing would appear from the following COM
parison of qualities The Creator must
possess the following attributes-being,
wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness
and truth A glance at man reveals at
once the same attributes, and hence man is
in quality the highest order of created be-
ings. But ifa mans life varies from a day
to few years only, then he has everything
except being. He has the attributes of a
God, and the arena Of a brute or an insect.
The magnifcence of these attributes ought
to presuppose a magnihcence Of being.
When God hung out the planet Jupiter, he
gave it an orbit worthy of its gigantic pro-
portions. 1t sweeps about a circle whose
diameter is thousand millions Of miles,
and yet it traverses all this long journey
in the light and yerdure of perpetual spring.
1t must be that when God made the soul be
he gave it an orbit being commensurate
with its mental and spiritual endowments,
and not tomb few steps from its cradle.
The immense endowments of man implies an
immense arena Of time, and coming as he
does from a Creator who is inconceivable
as to his immensity, there is no more rea-
son for supposing that man was made for
an early grave, than the sun or the planet
Jupiter was made simply for passing hour.
Reason teaches us that an immense equip
msnt for life presupposes an immense life.
AS vast foundations indicate palace or a
temple expected to endure, so the human
mind and heart reveal foundations that were
not laid for the pitching ofa tent, but for a
fabric worthy of the deep and wide base.

summers Speeches-How Prepared,

Those who have heard any Of the great
speeches of MIR. Sumner will be curious to
know how these were composed. After
listening to his mastery speech Of 1855 on
the Slave Oligarchy-a speech which he
delivered first in Faueuil hall, Boston, and
repeated in all the chief cities Of the North
Il said to him; 81 have listened with
unaagging attention for an hour and half,
while you, Mr.. Sumner, without a note of
any kind, have poured forth this majestic
stream of eloquence, without once pausing
for a word, making each point more telling
than the last, until, after eighteen strong
indictments of the slave oligarchy, it reach.
ed that climax, worthy of Deposthenes, Of
PROSTATE the Slave Oligarchy,' seven
times repeated with cumulative power.
Now beg you to tell me, did you write
this out and commit it to memory3" He
answered. "No, none of it was written till
| had delivered the speech some fifteen
times; but had elaborated it all mentally
even to the words" The only other orator
| have ever known having this power of
precomposing verbally great speech in the
laboratory of his brain, and there inscrib-
ing it on the tablets of his memory, without
recourse to writing, is DR.. Storrs Of Brook.
lyn.
Mr.. Summers statement Of his method
was soon after confirmed to me by this an
ecdote A friend calling at his rooms in
Washington was told by his young negro
servant; "Massa Sumner be gone to de
Senate to make him speech" "What
speech2" asked the friend, with surprise.
"Wby, dat ar speech he's been holering
out in bed ebery morniu' desc tree weeks"
Here is hint that young orators may i'm
prove upon but they should either secure
quiet quarters or servants that won't blab.
This is only another added to the long list
of witnesses that a really good speech is
the product of much hard labor, and that
seldom any thing worth listening to is
strictly extemporaneous. Whatever tho
form Of preparation, he who would com.
mand the attention Of others must first do
his own thinking thoroughly.

Why She Refused.

You say you went TO the party last night,
and you saw Mrs. Smith, an old friend,
whom you had not seen since she and your
sister were at school together. You had a
very pleasant talk until supper, then you
gave her your arm and took her to supper.
When some one came along with few
glasses Of wine on waiter, and offered her
glass, you saw her shudder, as she said
" No !" and you wondered Why Mrs. Smith,
who didn't use to be particular about such
things, not only refused, but shuddered
when she said, "Now You can not tell
why? can tell you why. You went on
with your talk, aud had little renewed

her husband did not come She sat at the
piano an hour, aud be did not come. AT
length, between three and four o'clock, there
was noise at the door. She went to the
door, and two policemen held him in their
arms. She knows them both well by this
time. 1t happens so often that she knows
every policeman on the beat. They bade
her good night. She brought him in. She
had locked her child's room that he might
not abuse him. She took the abuse as he
flung himself upon the bed. She dragged
of his neckeloth and coat, and sat there
until he should fall into his stupid sleep.
She was the woman who refused a glass Of
wine with shudder. You do not know
