PLUCKY GIRLs.-A few DAYS ago party of
four girls, on their way home from school In
East Bridgeport, Conn.,, came upon eight
boys who had captured a kitten, aud, having
covered II with Kerosene Oil. purposed TO set
IL on fire. They begged the boys to ri &c them
the kitten. and were refused ,whereupon they
offered to buy IL. This proposal also failed
to meet the appreciation OF the young saw
ages, and the girls then hailed a passing man
and begged him to interfere. He refused,
saying he did not care what the boys did
with the cat. Repdered desperate by repeat
ed failures, the girls attacked the party of
boys, end, though they were outnumbered
two to one, succeeded In taxing the kitten
from them and carrying IL away in triumph.

Leap of the knight at Altenahe.

And bring me my harness, and saddle my horse
And lead MIN me round to the door:
He must tread such road tonight, perforse
As steed never trod before.

l have drank my share of wine
There ne'er was knight, in wrong or in right,
Led merrer life than mine.

And if | must die upon tree,
The old saddle-tree that has borne me of yore
Is the properest timber for me.
And now to show Bishops, and Burghers and
Priests
How the Altenahe hawk can die;
If they smoke the old falcon out of his nest
He must take to his wings and fly.
He harnessed himself by the pale moonshinc;
He mounted his steed at the door;
He drained such draught of the red Abe Wine
As man never drank before.
He Spurred his old horse. and he held him tight
And he rode him out over the hall,
Right over the clff-straight into the night
Three hundred feet of fall.

With never bone Of him whole;

The Erevity of Life.

1t was a sad cynic who said that youth
passes its time IN wishing that it could,
and age in regretting that it didn't But
1t IS true that all through the first half of
our llves we are thinking what we will do
Wheh once we get fairly started, and we
go on pleasing ourselves with these dreams
until, all OF a sudden, we wake up to the
tact that we have begun to 90 down the hin
and that now the time to hope and plan is
past, and the time, Ito remember and regret
has come. Dr. Hedge is fond of talking of
the ironies of life The saddest irony is
its breyity-our days are but a span-our
life but ''sleep and a forgetting" If it
were possible to realize in the beginning
that three-score yeafs and ten are not three
hundred, and to say TO ourselves calmly.
''Such and such things are, in SO brief
space, unattainable; let us content our
selves with striving for what we can rea-
sonably hope to win,' we might live our
short span more nationally. Then would
the rich man begin in season to dispense
and to enjoy his riches, remembering that
he can carry nothing with him into the
next country-then would the philanthro-
plst limit his schemes to his possibilities
then' above all, would those who love each
other beware that they gave no space to
estrangement or fault.finding. since our
lite OF so few days is all too brief for bit
terness

had said, in answer to one OF his inquiries
about the publication of the article,
