The Rev. David Thornton, sitting

with the heart ache caused BY a girls
careless words, is suddenly startled by
two white legs tearing their way through
the vines that grow in front of his win
dow, and small body turning somer-
sault into the middle of his room,

plains lots, assuming an upright posi-

Aunt Flo is sitting in the parlor wiring
a very red pair of eyes when the Rev.
David appears with Tots on his shoulder.

afternoon?"
" Can you forgive them?"

looks tenderly down at the red ewes, and
tlo's hand feels its way into his.

Tots begins TO cry.
"Never mind, pet;" and Aunt Flo

A BEAR FIGHr-The Cologne Gazette
contains an account of combat which
took place in the Geological Gardens
of that city between two Polar bears.
These two bears had been brought
from Spitzberg five years ago, and had
been placed in large pit, with tank
in the center. Until within the last
few days they had remained upon ex-
cellent terms with each other, but last
week a quarrel occurred between
them, the result of which was that
the female bear took refuge upon the
summit of a large rock in the corner
Of the pit. The male did not attempt
to follow her, and she remained there
three days, when, pressed by hunger,
she descended again. AS soon as the
male bear saw her, he Immediately
rushed at her aud attacked her with
his forepaws The keepers attempted
to separate them, and belabored the
male with heavy iron bars, but the
bones in the head of the Polar bear
are SO much harder than those of the
ordinary bear that these blows took
no effect The male bear continued to
wreak vengeance upon his compan-
ion, and, after having almost torn her
body into ribbons, he dragged her to
the bottom of the tank and held her
there until he felt assured that all
signs of life was extinct. He then
brought her body back to the floor Of
the pit and dragged it round the floor
for nearly ar hour After this he with
drew into his sleeping den to rest from
his labors, and the keepers at once
closed the iron bars upon him. Hav-
ling examined the body of the dead
bear, they found that it had received
more than a hundred wounds. The
neck and head were crushed almost to
a jelly, and the flesh was hanging in
strips from the back and sides. Dur
ing the whole combat neither of the
bears uttered a cry or sound of any
kind

A JAPANESE LEGEND.-The japanese
have curious legend of stonecutter,
who became discontented with his lot
in life. He first expressed the very
common wish, "Oh! that i were rich"
This being granted by the gods, he
next wished to become king, so that
he might have power. In this station
he still found o source of discomfort;
so, after many changes, he wished to
become rock, which even the floods
could not move. This being granted,
he, for time, enjoyed his newly ac-
quired power, for neither the burning
sun, rushing wind, nor roaring food,
had power to remove him. But one
day a man with sharp chisel and
heavy hammer, came along, and began
to cut stones out of the rock, and the
rock said: "What is this, that the
man has power over me, and can cut
stones out of my bosom? ! am weak
er than he. / should like to be that
manw And then came an angel out
of heaven, who said: BE this as you
have said," and the rock became a
stone-cutter, and he cut stones, with
hard labor, for small wages, and was
contented.
