People have generally three epochs in their con

be everything that is good, and they lavish with
their friendship and confidence In the next they
have had experience. which has snitten down
their confidence. and they then have to be careful

construction on everything. Later in life they
learn that the greater number of men have much
more good i'll them than bad, and that when even

Youth.

There are gains for all our losses.
There are balms for all our pain
But when youth, the dream departs.
1t takes something from our hearts,
And II never comes again.
We are stronger we are better
Under manhoods sterner reign:
Still We feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet,
And will never come again
Something beautiful has vanished.
And we sigh for it in vain:
We behold it everywhere
On the earth and in the air.
But it never comes again.

Among Polar Bears.

Three of the crew of the steamship In
trcpid, Capt. Soutar, had a very exciting
adventure at the Greenland seal fishery
this season During the time that their
vessel was fast beset among the ice three
ul the crew Thomas Royal, Wolver-
hampton; James Winter, Peterhead, and
William Muligan, Dundee-set out one
day to pay a visit to the ship Perse-
Nerance, OF Peterhcad, which lay appar-
entity about four miles distant. After
walking about Two miles it was seen that
the distance between the two ships had
been miSiudged, and that in reality they
were Sin miles apart, and the dangerous
nature of the journey began to draw upon
the ScMncn when they realized how far
they were from any vessel the sealing
clubs being the only weapons with which
they were armed. They delberated
whether it would not be the best course
- return to their ship. One of the trio
insisted upon making the journey, while
the others We're Of the opinion that they
should give up the attempt.
In the midst of the debate a she bear
with one of her cubs, arrived, and as she
was fast coming up between the men and
their ship, the only chance of escape was
IT, run on III the hope of reaching the
Perseverance. When the men took to
their heels the bear quckened her pace
TO attempt to face the animal with their
clubs was useless, and accordingly one
by one the men took OIL portions of his
clothing and threw them on the ice. In
this way the progress of the bear was re-
tarded us Bruin stopped to snuff and
tear ut each OF the articles as she came up
with them. BY this strategem the men
were enabled to keep a little ahead for
about two miles.
They had parted with most of their
clothing, one of them having nothing but
his pants, Il crayat, and wooden shirt
upon him. He had retained possession
OF his club, and fastening his cravat to
the end of the weapon, he waved it as a
signal of distress, and, fortunately, the
attention of the crew of the Perseverance
was attracted to the perlous position of
the three seamen. Several of the crew
of the Perseverance Immediately set out
armed with guns, and, after running
about Il mile, they came to the three
men, Just in time to save them, as they
had almost no clothing left, and were ex-
hausted with the chase. The bear and
her cub were so close behind that the
rcscuers had no difficulty in despatching
them with several bullets. The following
morning the three sailors returned to the
Intrepid. They were escorted part of the
way 10y a number of the crew of the Per
severance and the male bear having been
seen in the vicinity, apparently on the
look out for the she bear and her cub, he
was likewise killed. Dundee Advertiser.

business means work; the never telling
means your knowing how to do thing
better than others. 1t means sagacity
and prudence in the management Of your
affairs. Some men are always successful
in certain things. They understand the
situation, that's all. Every virtue gives
