Three little golden heads at an upper
window and long line of carriages in
the street below. Nurse holds baby up,
who laughs and claps his little dimpled
hands as his eye is caught by the nod
ding plumes on the hearse; and pres
emily the procession moves down the
street, and mother has gone away for
ever. The men from the undertaker's
remove the traces of the funeral; the
parlors are in their wonted order, eX-
cept perhaps the curtains are not Topped
as gracefully, the furniture is not dis
posed as tastefully, and the little orna-
ments and bijouterie are not in their ac-
customed places. In mothers room
there's chill and prim air about every
thing, so different from its usual look Of
cosy comfort. A bright June sunlight
is cleaning through the halfOpened
blinds, but it does not seem to give
warmth and cheer. The toys are brought
out, but the children soon tire of them.
There's something gone-they scarce
realize what. By and by baby begins to
fret, and baby gets cross. Poor little
darling! mammals pet! how tenderly
she would have soothed him with soft
lullabys. And then papa comes home
and gathers the little flock around his
knee, and tries to tell them something of
the beautiful home to which mamma has
gone; but they want her sadly here;
they cannot think why the God Father
should want her so much more.

According to the Esquimaux, the seal
constructs its habitatiOn beneath the sur
face of the ice in such manner that 1t
can enter it from the water below; here
the young seal passes its infancy, and
when the returning heat of summer de-
stroys its igloo or dwelling, the young
seal is old enough to take care of itself;
but this mode Of lodging its youth is
well known to the bear, who, with his
keen scent. soon detects the whereabouts
of the seals nursery, and, in order to
gain entrance makes spring and comes
down heavily with all its weight on the
top of the igloo, brushes it in, and i'm
mediately seizes the young seal with his
paw. Here, it might be supposed, the
hungry bear at once devours his prey;
but no, it is far to wary to do so; it knows
full well that where baby is, there must
of necessity be mother, and that she
VIII be in search of her darling; therefore
the bear scrapes away the snow from the
seal hole, and, holding the young seal by
the flippers, allows it to founder about,
and when the mother approaches, the
bear slyly draws the young seal toward
it until the old one is within reach. when
he seizes her with the other paw, and
thus capture both. The mode in which
the bear captures the seal on the ice is
equally ingenious. When at a distance,
the bear throws itself down and stealth
lily crawls toward the seal, and if the seal
looks up he lies perfectly still, and makes,
at the same time, a noise which lulls the
seal. The bear repeats the operation I'M
til it approaches its victim, when it falls
a prey to Bruins appetite.

An incident occurred on recent trim
which l made over the Union Pacific
which may be of interest to YOUR read,
ers, as it was one time of uncommon in
terest to me. We were rolling alono
between Salt Lake and Omaha when
made my way into smoking car to enioy
aclgar. | noticed a group gathered in the
center OF the car, and croWding nv way
up found two men gambling: one was
a well dressed man, but bearing the GEN
eral appearance of blackleg; the other
was veritable miner, just as he came
rom the mountains, with long, grizzly
beard, rough, course and dirty clothes,
but with lots of gold. The play was
for quite large stakes, and l heard whis-
pers thatthe gambler was about to fleece
the miner, and much sympathy was
manifested for him.
The game-draw poker-still went on
with hardly word spoken by the play
ers, till finally, when large sum was on
the board, the gambler being called to
show his hand, threw down three aces
and two queens, and reached for the
money, the miner stretched over and
held his hand and laid down two aces,
showing of course five aces in the pack.
He then reached back and drew large
navy revolver, cooked it, placed the muz-
zle directly between the eyes of the gam
bier, still holding his hand. Not word
was spoken, but each looked steadily into
the eyes of the other. Soon the hand
began quietly tdpnDte from the honey
the form of the gambler to draw back,
and still the revolver followed. He
stepped into the aisle, and here the scene
became so embarrassing tome and, sew
eral others that we dropped under the
seats. The gambler slowly backed to-
ward the door, with the revolver follow
lug, till the door was reached and he
passed out. The miner coolly let down
the hammer of the revolver, replaced it
in his pocket, swept the money from the
board into his pouch, quietly lighted his
pipe, and settled back in his seat as if
nothing had happened. The strange
part of the whole business was that not
word was spoken from the time the gam
bier laid his three aces on the board till
he passed out the car door.
l took seat near the miner afterward.
and chatted with him about his expe-
riences i'm the mountains, and he seemed
pleasant and intelligent. We did not re-
fer to this little episode with the black
leg.
have never witnessed more thrill
ing scene, or one in which such extreme
GOODNESS was manifested by the miner,
and for that matter by the gambler.

An U1agaU02st Joke.
From the st. Paul Pioneer-Press.

She came from Detroit, Mich, and her
great pride was being an invalid. She
lost no opportunity in stating that she
came to Minnesota TO recuperate. She
did not hesitate to enter into converse
ton with any person she came in con-
tact with, giving advice, Chronological
or physiological, to invalids, and seeking
the same from those Of a robust constitu-
ton. Her conversation was always pre-
faced with the Introductory inquiry, so
common to visitors: did you come
here for your health?" She thus adj
dressed at stalwart, ruddy visaged young
man at the dinner table of the Metro

ing dialogue ensued:
Yes, madam; L came here probably
the weakest person you ever saw. L had

were but little tougher than cartilages.

The Lacy Daughter.

Among the worst features of a badly
minded daughter we would first single
out Incidence, or. to use the rough and
more expressive English word, laziness.
A lady, sofa-lolling, ie-a-bed late in the
morning young woman, is an affront to
her sex, and in her own family more a
curse than blessing to her mother. She
is burden, and TO her father an object of
contempt. She is also great promoter
of domestic strife and shocking exam
pie to her younger sisters. Suchia being
crawls instead of walking with tripping
alacrity through life. She dawdles in
stead of works; her speech is vulgar, and
altogether her ways are very bad indeed;
and to add to her misdeeds her health
suffers through her folly, and thus she
wantonly imposes tax on the purse and
patience of her parents. For girl to be
idle in the flush of her youth is to invite
any and all kinds of calamities to befall
her with blistering anguish and, depend
upon it, the downward career of most
afflicted women may be primarily traced
to this early and wicked habit, for it is
nothing else, it being-as easy for a young
woman to be industrious as the reverse.

Ln4 HOUSE W WCEo 10 " CTO ~ sUs
I've been to the old farm-honse good wife
Where you and i were wed;
Where the love was born to ourt two hearts
That now lies cold and deal.
Where the lOng-kept secret to you told,
In the yellow beams of the moon,
And we forged our vows ont of loves own gold,
To be broken So soon, 30 soon!
rassed fhrnnah ali the old rooms, good wife;

The ghost of love tnat Is gone.
And he led me cut TO the harbor, wife,
Where with myrtles twined your hair;
And he seated me down on the old stone step,
And left me muslng there.
Tie sun went down as it use to do,
And sunk in the sea of night;
The two bright STARS that we called ours
CAM slowly unto my sight;
But the one that was mine went under a

Went ander q cloud, alone;
And . tear that wouldn't have shed for the

But these be words can ne'er be unsaid.
And deeds can meier be undonc,
Except perhaps in another world,
Where LIES once more begun. s~ts.
And may be some time In the time to come,
When few more years are sped,
Well love again as we used to love,
In the house where we were wed.

Profanity.

We are emphatically in the age of pro-
family, and it seems to us that we are on
the topmOst current. One cannot go on
the streets anywhere without having bis
ears offended with the vilest of words,
and his reverence shocked by the most
profane use of sacred names. Nor does
it come from the old or middle-aged
alone, for it is fact, as alarming as true,
ity are most proficient in the degrading
language. Boys have an idea it is smart
to swear: that It makes them manly; but
there never was greater mistake in the
world. Men, even those VINO swear
themselves. are disguised with profanity
in Young man, because they Know how,
of ali bad habits, this clings the most
closely and increases with years. 1t is the
most insidious of habits, growing on one
so invisibly that almost before ne Is
aware he becomes an accomplished cursor.
Boys should never begin to swear, but II
they do-stop!

The Springfield (Mass.l Republicans

now and then took notice of singular
facts in natural history. Two years
before his death, old Colonel Perkins,
Of Boston, then young gentleman,
visited him at Mount Vernon. AS
he was sittingwith young Perkins on
the veranda which overlooked the
Potomac, toad hoped along the
ground near them, (which led him to
ask me-" says Colonel Perkins, '.if I
had ever observed the reptile swal-
low FREELY" Upon my answering
in the negative lie told me that he

the skin of the toad, he had seen the
light of the freely after it had been
swallowed. This was a new and to
me a surprising fact m natural his

WHAT THE PRESS SAY OF
OUR FAIR.

OUR FAIR.
The Agricultural Society of Mason
county held one of their successful
Fairs last week, beginning Tuesday
EHad6los .,;e TIC t1easaace
throughout was yeiy good, and Oh
Thursday, ssihe day on which Hon. c.
J. Faulkner delivered his address, a
very .la.se crowd was present. Fri
dsy was expected 10 be The great Gay
OF The Fair, But a steady rain, setting
in Thursday nigh, and continuing
Friday morning, had the effect Of
keeping at home about four-ffths Of
The ten thousand people whose pres
encc a fair day would have guaran-
iced. Financially the exhibition
was a success. The receipts were
ample to pay premiums and current
expenses, and sill leave nice sum
to be applied 10 the payment of The
SocieSy's debt, incurred in improving
the grounds and erecting buildings.
The display OF stock was very fine.
Those who ought TO know are Of
opinion that the cattle exhibited can
not be surpassed at any Fair in the
West. High ecomiums, though not
quite so enthusiastic Che foregoing,
were passed upon the various entries
in the 'hoss7 line. In the mechani-
cal department there was a good va
riety of agricultural machinery
"Floral Hall" was brilliant with
bright flowers and beautiful women;
sewing machinesrattled, pianos crash
ed, and John DeLille lectured on the
wonders of a bewildering side show,
back of thegrand stand, while a doub-
le-geared Flying Dutchman, run by
steam engine, enraptured the crowd
and relieved the leisure of wearied
Deputy Marshals, in the intervals Of
rest from their labors.
The address Of Hon. c.. Faulkner
was delivered at Up. m, Thursday, to
an immense audience. Mr.. Faulk-
ner had recently returned from his
long and laborious journey to the
West, upon business connected with
the Indian Commission of which he
is . member, and was therefore able
to give his hearers, in addition to a
very interesting general account Of
his Journey, many valuable and pleas
ing facts, connected with agrlcul-
ture, soil and climate of the region
west of the Missouri through which
he had travelled. His discourse last
ed about an hour and quarter, hold
ing the attention of the people to the
close, and eliciting the heartest ap'
plause.
Mr.. Faulkner spent some time in
mingling with the people Of Mason
and adjoining counties. renewing old
acquaintance and making many new
ones. ALL who met him were pleased
to know that his efforts win be earn
estsy united with those Of our imme'
diate representatives in Congress, to
secure for this section OF country the
