sHERIDAN's LAST DISPATCH.

Blood! blood! blood!!!
I'm hungry and thirsty and weary
Starving to death--Ive had nothing to eat
Since my brush, so long and dreary,
'Gainst the squaws of the Pigeon race!
From u hundred or So,
The blood would not flow,
As Tapped it, sutlicientto colormy face!
The babies were juicy and tender,
But hardly made muscle and bone;
Give me blood that is tougher and
stronger,
Meat that will strengthen the tone
Ofmy stomach, andncrve
Nv intent not to Swcrvc
From nv meal till I've sucked the last
bone.
Blood blood! blood!
Oh. give me dainty White Lacquer;
Just a hint. and human shall fall
At the click of the faithful trigger.
Banditti them all!
Don't sign my recall,
Let me gorge and grow bigger and bigger.

on its top holy (rocking) stone, and
near its base the remains of an old
(so- called Druidic) temple, circular
but with long, sinuous line OF stones,
such as are thought by some relict OF
serpent worship. When these brethren
assemble at the mountains base at the
sol:tice, they are headed by an aged man
who bears in his hand long wand. AT
the top of this wand is a small sphere
with three prongs, like diverging rays,
issuing from one side oft. My informant

Druidism Still Preserved I'm Wnie'

have Just obtained through Welsh
friend, saws a London correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, a few items
concerning a mysterious sect in the south
of Wales, concerning which no record
whatever exists, but which | believe to
be the very last remnant of the ancient
Druidic religion.
The people belonging to this little sect
are few and poor; they dwell scattered
among the hills in the ncigborhood of
Pontypridd They gather together only
twice in every year-on the summer ard
the winter solsticc. They then ascend II
mountain called Eglwysilan. This noun

The Water Bear.

THE Water-bear is cOmical-looking
little animal. His home is in fresh-water
shallow ponds, and he is so small that
only the practical eye can detect him
without the aid of the microscope.
Being less in size than an ordinary pin
head it is not necessary to take dogs and
guns to go in search of our bear" AL
that the successful hunter needs is a
stout stick "a f0rked one is best) to pull
the plants that harbor him from the
pond, and supply of Walls to hold the
water and plants.
An experienced hunter knows pretty
well from the lock of the water and
plants whether he has hit upon good
g hunting grounds" Satisfied with his
captures he returns home, takes tiny
spreads it on glass slide followed out
on one side for the purpose, and adds a
little water from one Of the walls to fill
the cavity. 1t is noR ready for the mi
croscope. With a very strong magnify
ing power the water in the glass slide
appears like deep pond, and the little
spray of plant like a great branch; and
here are myriads of strange creatures
swimming about and frolicking with
each other. But the bear" is the main
object of our search, and here he is. He
looks very much like his larger name
sake, only he has eight legs instead of
four
He goes slowly grubbing about among
the plants, eating as he goes, and food is
so abundant where he lives that we never
find poor, half-starved specimen,
Water-bears always are fat and plump,
from the tiny cub up to full-grown,
grave-looking fellows.
L have family Of these bears in lit
tie glass cage upon my study-table- The
cage is supplied with pond-water and
plants; and as often as | find bear |
cage him; and when l become tired End

and the bears droll maneuvers never fail
to restore me to good humor. The cage
is so constructed that [ can conveniently

The Cheerful Face.

NEXT to sunlight of heaven is the sun
light of cheerful face. There is no
installing it, the bright eye, the I'M
clouded brow, the sunny smile-all tell
Of that which dwelIs within. Who has
not felt it's electrifying influence? One
glance at this face lifts us at once out
OF the arms OF despair; out of the mists
and shadows, away from tears ana re
pining, into the beautiful realms of hope.
One cheerful face in a household will
keep everything bright and warm with
in. Envy, hatred, malice, selfshness,
dependency, and host of evil passions
may Turk around the door, they may
even look within, but they never enter
and abide there-the cheerful face will
put them all to shame and flight.
1t may be very plain face, but there
is something in it, we feel, we cannot
express, and its cheerful smile sends the
blood dancing through our veins for
very joy. We turn toward the sun,
and its warm, genial influence refreshes
and strengthens our fainting spirits.
All, there is a world of magic in the
plain, cheerful face! 1t charms us with
a spell of eternity, and we would not
exchange it for all the soulless beauty
that ever graced the fairest form on
earth.
It may be very little one that we
nestle upon our bosom or sing to sleep
in our arms with low, sweet lullaby;
but it is such a bright, cheerful facet
The scmtillations of joyous spirits are
flashing from every feature And what
power it has over the household, bind
ing each heart together in tenderness
and love and sympathy Shadows may
darken around US, but somehow this
face ever shines between, and the shining
is so bright that the shadows cannot re-
main, and silently they creep away into
the dark corners, where the cheerful face
is gone.
It may be wrinkled face, but it is all
the dearer for that and none less bright.
We linger near it and gaze tenderIy upon
it and say: "GOd bless the happy facew
We must keep it with US as long as we
can, for home will lose much of it's
brightness when the sweet face is gone.
And after it is gone how the remem-
brance of it purifes and softens our
hayward nature! When care and sorrow
would snap our heart strings asunder
this wrinkled face looks down upon us
and the painful tension grows lighter,
the way less heavy. AS is the spirit,
mind, disposition, so are the features

Origin Of Great Men.

II Is not among the pampered children
OF luxury that we must Oftenest look for
the seeds of intellect which ripen in the
manhood of greatness. The grandest
characters known in art, literature and
useful inventions have risen from the
humber walks of life, showing that gen
Jus ignores all class and social barriers
Let us glance, in confederation of this
statement, at such characters in modern
history as most readily present them
selves to the mind. In general literature
look at Defoe, the author of Robinson
Crusoe," one of the greatest writer's OF
prose fiction that ever lived. He began
life as a simple hosier, and was wholly
self-taught William Cobbett, the great
master of Saxon English, was common
soldier and farmers boy. Izaak Wal
ton, the biographer, was linen-draper.
Thomas Simpson, the famous mathe-
matiuian, was a journeyman weaver half
his life. Capt. Cook, one of the most
scientific Of sailors and a pleasing writer,
was self-taught. His father and mother
could neither read nor write
Sir Richard Arkwright, inventor OF
| the cottcn-spinning machine, was a poor
man, and commenced life as barber

sltlon by the plants. He strikes about
with his fore-paws, but still eats away as
if his very life depended upon his de-
vouring a certain amount of food before
he can stop to extricate himself.
He changes his skin, don't know how
many times, but as often as the old dress
becomes too tight and uncomfortable, |
suppose; and he slips out OF it so nicely,
leaving it all whole, even to the little
claws, and there it stands, not thrown
down in heap nor mussed at all! For
time L was completely puzzled on see
ing these old dresses standing about as
II inflated, and thought they must be
skeletons-that the body had decomposed
and left only the skin; but after awhile
l caught one slipping out of his dress,
and the mystery was explained.
The mother bear makes good use of
her old dress. She converts it into q
nursery. In slipping out of her skin she
manages to leave four or five eggs in
side of it; for the water-bear, unlike its
great nameSake, lays eggs, and the little
ones must take care of themselves as
best they may. The egg is covered with
4 membrane, so transparent that we can
see through it, and in few days after
the eggs are left we can see the outline
of the little bear all coiled up, with its
tiny paws close to its mouth. 1t soon
bursts the membrane, and goes slowly
plodding about, sometimes within the
nursery walls for a day or so, until at
last it makes its exit through a slit or
opening in the back, and is fairly
launched into the great world of water
and plants, where it at once becomes as
much at home as the Oldest inhabitant-

Herschel, the great astronomer, was an
humble musician in military band.
Chantry, the sculptor, was milk and
| dairy boy, his first efforts in art being
nodded in butter! Sir Thomas Lawrence
was an inn-keeper's boy and entirely
self-taught. John Ople was a wood
sawyer. Hogarth commenced in the
humblest manner as an engraver Of
cheap show bills. Clifford, afterward
the famous editor of the Quarterly,
served an apprenticeship as shoemaker,
and Broomfeld, the charming English
poet, was also a cordwainer, better
known as the English Burns.
James Brindly, the great British engi-
neer, was an humble miller for years.
Ben Johnson" rare Ben Johnson"-Was
in early life a bricklayer and was often
seen with trowel in one hand and q
book in the other. Shakespeare was a
poor mans son. DR.. Isaac Millers, after
ward Dean of Carlisle, we'll known also
as an author, commenced life as a
weaver DR.. PrideauX, Bishop of
Worcester, got his education by entering
Oxford as kitchen-boy. John Bunyan,
the great master of allegory, and who is
said to be the author of the second best
book ever written, was tinker. So we
might go on scanning the history of the
past to illustrate our remark at the COM
menCement of this brief article.
But if the history of the past is crowd
ed with evidence that mainly among the
million and not among the favored few
we are to look for such illustrious exam
pies Of those to whom the world accords
the need Of greatness, much more do our
own day and generation illustrate the
same fact. Let our readers pursue this
line Of thought as connected with the
history of America during the last cen
fury and see to what remarkable results
and interesting facts 1t will inevitably
lead.-N. 7. Weekly.

go with me and see a Scotch terrier. He
is the great ratter in this city. We must
have that dog" en- CO." said Bill.
They went. The terrier was brought
out, and rat was loosened with him. To
fulfill the character ascribed to him, the
terrier should have dispatched a certain
number of rats within one minute But
a single rat seemed to be fully match
for him. Indeed, the longer they fought
the more it looked as if the rat would
prove the better of the two. The dog
shook and the rat bit; but the rat seemed
to bite the hardest. Finally Bill broke

Foolish spending Is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of work,
nor of hard work. Work for the wages
you can get, but work for half price
rather than be Idle. Be your own master,
and do not let society or fashion swallow
up your individuality-hat, coat and
boots. Compel your selfish body to
spare something for profits saved Be
stlngy 10 your necessities. See that you
are proud. Let your pride be of the
right kind. Be too proud to be lazy;
too proud to give up without conquering
every difficulty; too proud to wear a
coat that you cannot afford TO buy; too
proud to be in company you cannot keep
up within expenses; too proud to lie or
steal or cheat; too proud to be stingy.-
