A Bold POacher.

The Bavarian poachers are noted for their skill and bravery, but they do not and will not understand the laws against poaching. They say to each other, Game is free; game has no owner. y "What is wild IS ours if we can take 1t, as 1t is another mans if he can take it." A few years ago a brave fellow, we'll known all up and down his valley, was caught in the act of poaching, and with the proof of his theft at his feet. A gamekeeper arose out of the bushes beside him and called upon him to sur render. Surrender cr!-sJlrrender was disgrace in his family, shame among his fellows, incarceration in & frightful jail. !
 On one side was terrible precipice, on the other was his enemy. There was no time for consideration. The cliff was seven fathoms high, beneath were huge masses of broken rock. To leap down seemed to invoke instant death. But the disgrace3 Impossible The poor fellow sidled to the very brink of the abyss and measured it's depths with furtive glances "Jesus, Maria, Joseph, help p he cried, in desponding accents, and took the fatal leap. One moment HIS UOuy uOVereu Ill 1uo AI, oue utuu clutching at bush-the next the bush swung back, the man was gone.
 The old forester stood rooted to the ground, and he muttered, under his breath 'The devil will have hot SUD- per this time"
 But he was aroused by shout from below. He gazed downward, full of miserable feelings. It was his prisoner flying like lightning over the rocks, skipping from one to the other like Q chamois.
 He turned about and waved his hat.
 "Good evening, Herr Forster; many thanks for letting me out of your clutches. I have one request to make it is for your own sake, not mine; don't jump over the precipice, I beg of you; it's dreadful bad for the feet" and, with another hurrah, he disappeared in the forest. The gamekeeper, mad with rage, forgot his remorse, and heartily cursed the lad he had pitied but a mo ment before. "I'll be even with you yet," he cried, aloud, but meanwhile he couldn't help envying the boy his elastic body.

He Comes to Me in Dreams,

He Comes to Me in Dreams. He comes to mJ in dreams at night,
 My precious baby boy! ... Again feel the rapturous thrill
 Of fond maternal joy, a With which in bygone days pressed My first born darling to my breast And smoothed away the shining hair From off his brow 50 pure and fair. He comes to me in dreams at night,
 And climbs upon my knee; And makes me kiss broken toy,
 As if twas dear to me How precious now each worthless toy ! With which ye played. my darling boy !! More precious than the richest gem That graces monarch,s 6 diadem. He comes to mo in dreams at night,
 His dimpled arms are thrown Around my neck his downy cheek
 Is laid against my own; While gently rocking to and fro, In soothing accents soft and low, sing the ssrne sweet lullaby used to sing in days gone by. He comes to me in dreams at night,
 My angel baby boy His infant features beautifed
 With smiles of heavenly joy; He hovers round me, and feel AS sweet sensations OCT me steal, As if I, too, could soar away To realms of never-ending day.

Walking as an Exercise.

Every muscle in the body is gently and uniformly brought into action by the swing of the legs and the arms, and consequently of the trunk in vertical direction, The undulations made by the head, chest and abdomen in vertical plane are thus not only according to Hogarth's line of beauty, but also in that tending to perfect health. Every internal organ is gently stimulated to more robust action. Never, in Q com mon walk, does person breathe twice the same air, because he is constantly changing his position. This fact alone is of incalculable advant ge. Some writer's contend that the rebreathing of air once partially used is one of the most fertile causes of consumption. The most favorable time for walking is about mid day in winter, and in the morning and toward evening i'll the summer.

Popular Arts.

In all article with this title in Scs'i6- s,er for May, Dr. Holland writes as fol- lows In the entire conglomerate edu- cational system of America there is no department in which so much time and money are absolutely thrown away as in what are called the ornamental arts. The teachers in this department fail en- tirely to comprehend the end toward which every lesson they give should drive. It is not for us to point out the remedies for their imperfections, but, in the name of suffering and disappointed people, to call their attention to those imperfections, and to demand that they shall either be remedied, or the costly farce be withdrawn from the boards.
 Oratory is one of the most popular arts in America. The man who can speak well is always popular; and the orator holds the hearts of the people in his hand. Yet, what multitudes of young men are poured out upon the country, year after year, to get their living by public speech, who cannot even read well We have had something to say recently about the unreasonableness of the people concerning brilliant preach CTS; yet, after all, there is something to be sald'for the people. When minis ter goes before an audience, it is rea- sonable to ask, and to expect, that he shall be accomplished in the arts of ex- pression-that he shall be good writer, and good speaker. It makes little diff ference that he knows more than his au- dience-is better than his audience-has the true matter in him-if the art by which he conveys his thought is shabby. It ought not to be shabby, because it is not necessary that it should be. There are plenty of men who can train the voice. There are plenty of men who can so develop it, and so instruct in the arts of oratory, that no man needs to go into the pulpit unaccompanied by the power to impress upon the people all of wisdom that he carries. The artof pub lie speech has been shamefully neglected in all our higher training schools. It has been held subordinate to everything else, when it is of prime importance.

The Poor Infant.


 Almost immediately after an unfortu- nate baby is born, the process of dos ing it commences, and the more it screams and cries under this infiction the more it is dosed; those who have charge of it acting on the principle that all babies labor under irritability of tenn per or some physical ailment which can only be soothed or removed by drugs. An example of the results which too often follow this mode of treatment is afforded by the case of the infant child of 8 boilermaker's striker, named Holt, on whose remains an inquest was re- gently held ill Lancashire, England, under the following circumstances. The deceased child, it seems, was only three weeks old, and, as it was cross one day, it's parents administered to it, on the ad vice of neighbor, dose composed of magnesia, aniseed, syrup, laudanum, and Turkey rhubarb, mixed with water. After taking this horrible mixture the wretched baby slept, but awoke in con- vulsions. The doctor, finding that it exhibited symptoms of poison, applied the usual remedies, but in vain; for, as might have been expected, the child paid the penalty of death for it's cross ness the following morning. The jury returned @ verdict to the effect that death had resulted from poisoning by an overdose of laudanum administered incidentally, and thus ends the story of the baby Holt, which only resembles the story of countless other babies physicked to death.

Do Not Laugh.

Do not laugh at that drunken man reeling through the street. However ludicrous the sight may be, just pause and think. He is going home to some tender heart that will throb with intense agony; some doting mother perhaps who will grieve over the downfall of him who was once her sinless boy, or, perhaps 8 fond wife whose heart will almost burst with grief as she views the destruction of her idol; or maybe loving sister who will shed bitter tears over the degrade tion of her brother, shorn of his mari- ness and sef-respect. Rather drop 8 tear in silent sympathy with those hearts 50 keenly sensitive and tender, yet so proud and loyal that they cannot accept sympathy rendered them either in word, look or act, although it might fall upon their crushed and wounded hearts as re- freshingly as the summer dew upon the whitening plant. As our eye follows the inebriate's uncertain footsteps, re- cord solemn VOW in heaven, that while your life endures, you will do all that within you lies to further the cause of temperance and to make 1t crime to sell or drink intoxicants.

The Perambulating Bates Again.

The Detroit Tribune says that Sergt. Bates, who became known by carrying the American flag through the South soon after the war, and also through portions of other countries at various times, proposes to start from Windsor, Ontario, to carry the stars and stripes, unfurled, to Toronto. He will do this, he says, in order to show that the people of Canada entertain no other than senti- ments of friendship and good will for their neighbors in the United States. At Toronto he will take the boat to Os- wego and thence carry the British union jack, unfurled, to New York city, which he expects to reach about the first of July. He will soon after embark for England, aud on the 2d of August he proposes to start from Calais, France, on an extended continental tour, bearing his bag through several European coun- tries, and ending at St.. Petersburg, Russia, which he expects to reach some l time in October. ...-.......

Union Religious Meetings.

The Protestant services are held in an
| immense tent, seated for upwards of two
thousand, and is nightly crowded. In
bad weather the meetings are held in the
Opera House. The singing is by choir
of forty voices, led by Prof. P. P. Bliss,
of Chicago, and the choruses swell from
thousand Threats, grand and sublime. If
Major White has established any one
fact since he has been conducting
these meetings, it is that he is in
earnest, and also that he is prompt in
doing the work set for him to do. He
doesn't know what it is to put off for some
moro convenient season. but promptly at
the place and the time set, he commences
his work.
Major Whites exhortation last Fri
day evening was pronounced one of his
happiest efforts, the lesson that of the
simplicity of the christian religion, was
drawn from the story of the death of
Christ upon the cross between two thieves

impressed with the fact that the Son of
God was indeed giving up His life for lost
man, accepted him as his mediator, and
cried, Lord. remember me when thou

Lord heard and answered: ''ro-day shalt
thou be with me in Paradise.''
From this story Major White pro-
ceeded in his usual vigorous manner to il.
lustrate the means Of salvation faith,
such as shown by the dying thief-ciosing
with two little anecdotes in application of
the truth. The first of these was of a
poor boy in Philadelphia who, being dam
gerously i'll, sent FOR his mission Sunday

raised himself OH his elbow and, looking

Remarkable Spread Of the GrAngex.

Remarkable Spread Of the Oranges.

The nomination OF MIR. Piolettc by the
Democrats Of Pennsylvania for the office
of State Treasurer attracts much atten.
ton to Grangerism, as he is known to
be the most prominent leader
of the Patrons in that State,
and an incorruptible reformer. But to
one who keeps himself thoroughly in.

Patrons of Hus bandry, the nomination of
MIR. Piolette is only one among thousands
of signs of it's rapid growth.
The progress of the cooperative move

in maturing, while Grangcrism has swell.
ed to its present proportions in about
three years. The truth will be apparent
to any one who carefully examines the
facts that a new power is arising from one
end to the other of the land, Of sort
that is without precedent, and whose
future influence therefore cannot now be
measured.
Although the fact is disagreeable one
to some classes of non-producers, it is
none the less undeniable that the rugged
health Of the movement arises from it d.
rect bearing upon the pockets of the mem
bers. While there is much SAID in Gran.
ger correspondence about the social fea-
lures of their work = the picnics and 9th.
er festivilies-the chief burden is concern
ing the wholesale buying and selling they
have done through the machinery of the or.
der. This is, of course, different in different
States. In the west large part of the
gain is from the wholesale disposal OF
grain, and its handling through Grange
elevators. In the south, planters have
saved large sums by using the Grange
agents in disposing Of their cotton.
GRANGE ORGANS.
The newspaper agencies inform us that
newspapers with nominal capital oil
! $8,000,O00 have come to naught since the
panic of 1878. The new papers arising tc
take their places, IN Ithe1 West at,&least
seem to be largely disposed to announce
themselves, even in their titles, as taking
the side Of the Grange. A rehearsal Of
the most prominent Grange organs BY
States will do much to open the eyes Of
some people to the magnitude of this
| movement.
1t is an interesting fact that scarcely
any Grange papers are published This

while the Young-Man was smoking his
pipe as contentedly as though in his own
tepee, and after the Council closed, acted
as rear-guard, with his men, to the Com
mission to the Agency. Previous to the
move of Young.Man, nearly all the half
breeds near the tent, and some Of the IN

friends and relatives to clear away from
the tent, as there was great danger. They
did so and left the whites unwarned.
After the matter was over, those of
Yonng-Man's men who turned out to

A GENERAL MASSACRE.
All the cavairy-men were to be shot
down at the first fire, the horses stamped
ed, and then the Commission we're to get
particular Jerusalem from that vacant
space in front, which was held by Little
Big Man and his crowd. TO the prompt
ness Of Young Man and his men can be
attributed the prevention of the massacre
that would have been as complete as it
would have been treachcrous. In addition
to the warning, proof is found in the fact
that an unusually large number of shells
for breach leaders were sold yesterday by
the traders; that the bands who had
camped near: the road leading to the
Council ground, moved 2 miles away in
the morning; and, also that a further
band of 800 warriors, armed cap'a-pie,
were discovered in canon near by, who
were supposed to be there to make an
attack on the Agency, and to prevent the
troops from Camp Robinson from going
out 10 the Council camp, miles below,
after the fight should have commenced.
A thousand facts known here all point to
confederation of plan for massacre
of the whole outfit by the young men
under the lead of the wild
devils Of the North. The threat
was made by them that they would kill
the first man who spoke for the treaty !:
and no man was brave enough, save
White Bull, Of the Sauc-Arcs, and he
only incidentally, to say word in favor
of the sale of the country. The only
commissioners proper to treat with such
a gang are Calling guns, with Crook to
manage them. - ~ .as ~.

treaty making will be very much of a
success. The Commission will hold an.
