AS the wolves sprang forward with
open jaws, fecked with foam, McGuire
unstrapped his trusty axe from his back
and poised 1t for blow. The opportu-
nifty was at hand. A long, gaunt wolf
rushed forward, and made spring d.
rectly at him. With swift circle of
his axe, he fairly split the brute's head
IN twain. Another wolf quickly follow
ed, and the invincible axe crushed in
his skull. The next wolf wavered. and
seemed inclined to back out; but Jim
my's blood was up, and, with a Quick
spring, he leveled a sidelong blow that
broke the brute's back, and, with fear
full bowls and writings, it foundered on

This was the end. The remaining
three SUNK away, and were soon lost to

The First American Coins.

Wampum-that is, strings of shells
ground down SO that each piece was
about the size of grain of corn-was
used by the Indians for ornament and
for barter. The early colonists, though
trading with the Indians, became &C
customed to this article, and used it to
some extent among themselves. But
as it would not be taken by the mer-
chants in Europe for goods ordered
from them, metallic currency was
soon demanded.
In 1852, therefore the General Court
Of Massachusetts, issued at Boston some
silver pieces of the value Of twelve and
SIX English pennies EACH These coins
were merely round, fat pieces of silver,
with " N. E." New England) on the
one side, and the value, XII. or VI, On
the other. The frugal authorities
wasted no money on engraving, not
even announcing the year in which the
coins were issued.
This coinage was, however, so dis
tasteful, because of the absence of any
design, that another series was at once
issued. on some Of which is scraggy
oak tree, inclosed in a circle of dots,
outside of which are the words "Masa-
thvsets in,' while round the edge on
the reverse is the remainder of the
legend, "New England, An: DOM"
On this reverse is the date 1922, in the
center, with the numeral of value, XII,
VI, ILL.,, or H.. below it. On others of
this design is a pine-tree; and while of
both these designs occasional issues
took place during nearly thirty years,
yet the date 1862 is the only one used.
Charles the Second, it is said, regard
ed this coinage of the colony as an en-
croachment on bis prerogative. We
believe, however, that his dislike was
overcome by the statement that the
design was a memorial of the famous
oak-tree hiding-place of his father !

THE MORAL WARFARE.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
When freedom, on her natal day,
Within her war rocked cradle Lev,
An iron race around her stood,
Baptised her infant brow in blood:
And, through the storm which round he
swept,
Their constant ward and watching kept.
Then, where our quiet herds repose,
The roar of baleful battle rose, IT
And brethren of a common tongue
To mortal strife as tigers sprung,
And every gift on freedoms shrine
Was man for beast and blood for wine!
Our fathers to their graves have gone;
Their strife is past their triumph won
But sterner trials wait the race
Which rises in their honored place, @7#
A moral warfare with the crime
And folly Of an evil time.
So let it be. In Gods own might saa
We grid Us for the coming fight, -
And, strong in Him whose cause is ours
In conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapons He has given,
The light, and truth, and love of heaven.

How to Cure a Bad Memory.
BY OLIVE THORNE

BY OLIVE THORNE.
Your memory is bad, perhaps; but
L can tell you two secrets that will cure
the worst memory. One is: To read a
subject when strongly interested. The
other is: To not only read, but think.
When you have read a paragraph or
page, stop, close the book, and try to
remember the ideas on that page, and
not only recall them vaguely in your
mind, but put them into words and
speak them out. Faithfully follow
these two rules, and you have the
golden keys of knowledge. Besides
inattentive reading, there are other
things injurious. to memory. One is
the habit of Swimming over newspa-
pers, items Of news, smart remarks,
bits of information, political refec-
lions, fashion notes, all in a confused
tumble, never to be thought of again,
thus diligently cultivating habit of
careless reading, hard to break. An
other is the reading Of trashy novels.
Nothing is So fatal to reading with
profit DIS the habit of running through
story after story, and forgetting them
as soon as read. know gray haired
woman, a lifelong lover Of books, who
sadly declares that her mind has been
ruined by such reading.
A help to memory is repetition.
Nothing is SO certain to keep your
French fresh, and ready for use, as to
have always on hand an interesting
story IN that language, to take up for
ten or fifteen minutes every day. In
that case, you will not "forget your
French" with the majority of your
schoolmates.- st. Nicholas.

Two of Them.

1.-TWO OF Them.
BY CARRIE w. THOMPSON.
A brook and wee Elsie
Were playing together,
One frolicsome day
Of the sunshiny weather,
At tag" and I" bo-peep;n
Naughty creatures were they,
For the brook and wee Else
Had both run away.
One time, when they paused
In lovely cool place,
Elsie saw in the water
Her round dimpled face;
And = How funny!" she said,
With wondering Look
Now, how could my face
Get into the brook"
A halfminute later,
A gypsying bee
Left Elsie in tears, sa
Sorry object to see.
Here's another queer problem"
The little brook cries;
"NOw, how did / ever

SatisfedaBOarderS.

A story is told and vouched for by g.
we'll known auctiOneer in this city, says
the Boston 1roueJer. Some year or
more ago the auctioneer had for sale q
large lot of homeopathic medicines, the
little white pellets which the patient
dissolves in water. When the sale Oc-
Cured all these medicines were dump
ed into one pile, and disposed of in one
lot, there being various kinds of medi-
cine in the mass. A clearinghouse
keeper bought the lot, and some days
after the purchase the auctioneer asked
her, "What did you want with that
homeopathic medicine, Mrs. ?"
She replied, T" I thought 1 could use it
and it was cheap, SO [ crushed it under
the roller and then filled my sugar
bowls with it. The boarders seemed to
like it, and especially when powdered
over pies"
THE proposition of DR.. Evans, the
American dentist in Paris, to give 5O,-
600 francs for an American statue to
be presented to France, is generally
esteemed ill-advised, as it interferes
with the projected French statue OF
Liberty In New York Harbor. The
same class of people are called upon
to subscribe for both objects, and the
consequence is that the money which
should all go in one channel is divided
In to two.
THE Norwich Bullet5,a says: " A good
deal of disappointment was felt recent
ly over report that spotted adder
could be seen On Shetucket street, as 1t
turned out to be nothing but bank
clerk with the measles"

With agony, and could think OF no way
in which life would be endurable with
out her. To contend with business af-
fairs, to shape the future Of this pretty
Rosalie, to manage there three bolster
Gus boys, without Maria-without Mrs.
Jones
envy God Joe," he cried, that night,
bowling his head upon the marble table
and bursting into tears. " I shall 20
mad"
"Hush take heart. There's faint
nope," said Joe, cOaxing the cold, trem-
bling fingers of Rosalie into his keep
ing.
Oh, what would they nave done with
out him, these Joneses, who knew
naught of wickedness save the little ills
that yonder fainting hand upon the bed
had guided safely into health again
Joe had dealt with it all his life.
That dreadful night not an eye closed
in the house, save, perhaps, the tear
swollen ones of the boys. Early in the
day Mrs. Jones had fallen into a slum-
Der which the doctor had said would
probably lead from unconsciousness
into death. But the next morning,
though still asleep, her pulse was
stronger; gentle perspiration bathed
her forehead. The doctors eyes
cleaned suddenly with hope, and he
drove them all down into The front
basement to tell them that perhaps
there was indeed a moderate chance
for the life of Mrs. Jones.
Which soon ripened into certain
ty. Once giving that good lady a foot
hold upon the shore again, there was
not much danger Of her drifting out.
She became gradually conscious of all
that had happened.
