Set a Coed Example.

Nothing is so easy as to write, preach
and talk Of the obligations we are an
der to do justly and walk hunbly,' but
it is altogether a different matter to
write and talk simply by example,
And yet, though the 70 rmer be useful,
how much more valuable and effective
Is the latter. What are the most
beautiful essays on the cardinal virtues
compared with the excellency of a life
in which those virtues have vital ex-
istence? 1t was not alons the doctrines
advanced With such dignl1ed and pur-
suasive eloquenoe by our Savior, nor the
wonderful miracles performed by him
which made the hearts OF men follow
after him; these were rendered doubly
sffectual by the examples which he set
at all times. And so it is ROW, in an
humble sense, by mere human hopes
Men may preach, and the world will
listen; but profit comes by example. A
parent inculcates gentleness in his
children by many sound precepts; but
they see him treat his best friend in =
eryv rude manner, and, in consequence,
his instructions are worse than lost, for
they are neither needed nor respected. &.
His example as a gentle and humane
man would have been sufficient for his
children without one word Of command.

Rsv Plute Indians Fish.

Rabbi-hunting and fishing constitute
the business Of life now to the Piute
warriors Of Nevada, since the buffalo
have Travelled north, and the antelope
is fast following them; and IN the cap
ture and killing Of such small deer he
il exceedingly expert. His fishing
tackle consists of a bit of light rope.
Weighted with stone at one end, and
grssped by the hand of the fisherman at
the other end. To this line are at
tached at regular distances half a dozen
or more hooks, made Of rabbit-bones,
in the form Of a narrow letter V; and
to the angle Of each V again is fastened
a short line made of sinevs, and baited
with some such trihe as ! snail or a
fresh-rstcr sucker. The fish, swallow
ing the bait and the line, swallows also
the hook, which is so acted upon by
tension Of the line as to expand its two
prongs, and fasten them firmly in the
victims threat; and then 1t struggles
and whirls and darts about the line,
attracting all its family and the neigh
bors to swallow the same snare, until
the angler has counted a bite for every
hook, and quietly draws in his main
line heavy with spells.

The RIGHT KIND OF WOMAN.-A
wlfe-seeklng methodical youth, who
has occasionally escorted young lady
home on Sunday evening and gone in for
supper, after performing both services
on last Sunday night, suddenly sad to
her: Do you talk in your sleep' Why,
mo- she exclaimed in surprise, DO
you walk in your slesp:' he next
inquired. No, sir.' He moved his
chair an inch closer, and With increased
interest asked: DO you snore:' NO.
she hastily replied, looking uneasily at
him. At this reply his eyes fairly
sparkled. His lips eagerly parted, and
as he gave his chair another hitch, he
brlskly inquired: Do you throw the
combings Of your hair in the basin'
WHAT she asked with a blank face.
He repeated the question, although
with increased nervousness. No,
don't, she answered in some haste
Again his chair went forward while his
agitation grew SO great he could scarcely
maintain his place upon it as he asked,
DO you clean the comb when you are
done:' OF course do she said, star
ing at him with all her might. In an
instant he was on his knees before her,
with hands oulstreched. 4 love you,'
he pasionatelY cried; Il give my whole
heart up 10 you. Love me, and l shall
be your slave. Love me as / love you,
and | will do everything Oh earth for
you. Oh, will you take ME - be your
lover, your husband. your protector,
your eveything?' 1t was critical mo
ment for a young woman Of her years,
but she was equel TO the emergency, as
young wsman generally ls,and accept

VIRTUE AND VICE IN CONTRAST
Vice is most revolving when seen in
contrast with virtue. A profane man,
belching forth eats among those whe
never swear; an atheist pouring forth
blasphemies in the presence of reverent
and holy msn; an inebriate filthy and
coarse, mngling with persons who
never touch the debasing draught; the
vulgar libertine, corrupting the all
with unwhOlesome speech, to the dis
gust Of those whose minds arc pure; IN
every such instance vice is not alone as
q sin, but as a horrid deformity. 1t
not only brings death, but also shame.
Its not only wicked but vile. 1t is
not only wrsng but very mean. How
lovely, by the same contrast, does vir-
tue appear! How sweet the lips OF
chastity; how prue the breath Of reve-
rent plety; how excellent the life oi
abstinencs; how blessed the example
that chiiss the erring, rsbukes the un'
holy, imprsssss the young, guides the
wanderer, and strengthens the weak by
its silent power.

the men who marked the speed of th'
splendid animal. 1.-THE shark will
have one or both if we don't do eul
best"
"The scene was of short duratien.-
Ere the beat could overtake the doc the
enormous shark was within three boat
lengths of the captain, and had sud
denly turnded over on his back. prepar-
atory to darting on the sinking man,
and receiving him in his vast jaws, which
new displayed their rows OF long
triangular teeth.
The whip shrek Of the captain an
nounced that the crisis had come. But
now Napoleon, inspired with increased
strength, had also arrived, and with a
fearful howl leaped upon the cleaning
belly Of the shark, and buried his teeth
in the monsters flesh, while the boat
swiftly neared them.
Saved! if we're half as smart as
that dog is !" cried the mate, as we all
saw the yoracious monster shudder IN
the sea, and smarting with pain turn
over again, the dog retaining his hold
and being submerged in the water.
At this juncture the boat arrived, and
Lancaster, his knife in his teeth, plum
ged into the water where the captain
had also now sunk from view. But a
few moments elapsed ere the dog rose
to the surface, and soon after Lancaster
rose with the insensible form Of The
coptain.
Pull them in and give me an oar ~
cried the mate, "for that fellow is pre-
pairing for another launch"
His orders were obsyed, and the
second onset of the marine monster was
folled by the mates splashing water in
his eyes as he came again, aad but q
few minutes too late to snap on the
captains legs, while his body was
drawn into tn. boat.
Faileda second time, the shark
passed the boat, plunged, and was seen
no moro, but loft track Of blood on
the surface Of the water, token Of the
severity Of his wounds from Napoleon.
The beat was now pulling toward the
brig, and not many hours elapsed before
the captain was on deck again, feeble
from his efforts, but able TO appreciate
the services of our canine hero, and
most bitterly TO lament his own cruel
act, which had mutilated him forever.
II would give my right arm!" ex-
claimed the captain, as he patted the
Newfoundland who stood by his side,
III could only repair the injury have
done that noble fellow. Lancaster,
you are new fully avenged, aud SO is he
and a most Christian vengeance it is
though my nhumanity will be source
of grief to me as long a. live"

John B. Cough tells touching story OF
two street Arabs, who wereat the same
time in London hospital. One had
been run over and was fatally hurt
The other, just recovering from fever,
was allowed to lie down by the side of
the little crushed boy. He crcpt up 10
him and said, Bobby, did you never
hear about Jesus? "No, | never heard
Of him." Bobby, | went 10 Mission
School once, ,and they told US that Jesus
would take you to heaven when you
die, and you'd never have hunger any
more, and no moro pain, if YOU asked
him."
81 couldn't ask such a great big gen.
tleman a. to do anything for me. He
wouldn't stop to speak to boy like me-
"But he'll do all that if you ask him. !"
How can l ask him if don't know
where he lives, and how could l get
there when my legs is broken:"
Bobby, they told me at Mission
School as how Jesus passes by. Teacher
says he goes around. How do you
know but what he might come to this
hospital this very night:
but l can't keep my eye, open. Ny
legs feel so awful bad. Doctor says
III de-"
Bobby, holdup your hand, and he'll
know what you want when he passes by
They got up the hand. 1t dropped.

Three times he got up the little hand,
only he let it fall. Bursting into tears
he said:

yer hand; put yer elbow or my pillow;
l can do without" SO one hand was
propped up. And when they came in
the morning the boy lay dead, his hand
still held up for Jesus.

A New Jersey man of an inventive
turn Of mind, undertook to accomplish
the Biblical feat Of walking on water.-
He had made two immense India rub
Der shoes inflated with air. Then he
went down to the river, bsckled on his
air shoes, and succeeded in walking
about fifty yards, and was making
bravely for the opposite shore when he
was struck by a stiff breeze and lost his
balance. His head went down and his
feet remained, and fifteen minutes later
a couple Of gunners, sighting the huge
shoes mistook them for a couple Of
amphiblous monsters, and riddlsd them
with buck-shot. This released the air
and the man disappeared. He was
found two weeks afterward, but he was
as dead as the late Julius Ccasar, Esq.

A Home Ia Greenland.

Evening is the liyelest time in the
Greenland hut. Then the bright lamps
are burning, the kettles and pots steam.
ing and boiling over each lamp, the
women busily chatting at their work,
and half-naked children running about
on the warm reindeer skins on the
ledge behind them. This is the scene
going on before US. The seal-hunter
has just arrived home from after his
days's toll on the sea, and while he is
hanging up his lines, his waterproof
gloves, and other paraphernala,
piece of skin is drawn forth from be-
meath the ledge aud spread before him.
It's contents the small dried fish
called 'anmagsat,' or capeling-he cats
in silence, weary as he is. This is
emily preliminary meal, an appetizing
pastime, while the more substantial
things over the lamp are getting ready
and it does not take long to boil seal
assh. After the fish he takes a draught
from the gater-pail behind the door.
The skin curtain Of the lodge, hiding the
mysteries Of the lower regions, is ouce
more drawn aside, and. with skin, the
the remnants, disappears behind it, TO
Join host Of the most heterogeneous
articles. A good deal Of talking in the
relating line, or in the chatting, pratt
Ting, merry-making style, is generally
going on. What remember most dis
tinctly from my many visits and stays
in the Greenland huts are the stories
and descriptions Of the man relative TO
their sea adventures, accompanied by
the most animated gestures, showing
how the seal had first appeared, and
then again diycd down on his approach
ing it; how he (the hunter) In his turn
had fingered behind till the animal,
made incautous by the ensuing silence.
again rose to the surface; and now the
hunter leaning back with a graceful
movement, show lie resolutely swept
across long surge, and came within
reach Of his mark, took aim, and threw
his karpoon aad bladder ahoat; how the
wounded animal d,yen and again camc
to the surface and so forth. In fact he
paints the scene with the most lively
colors, as we all listened in wrapt at
tention. Ny brother, who had n lively
comprehension and great talent for
nimicry, had in after years in Denmark
often to act the part Of the seal-hunter,
and it strikes me that | had myself a
part in a play representing an unsuc-
cesslul whale hunt. Certainly we had
many an hour Of amusement in the
Greenland cottages. Ne doubt we
were very unpretending, and easy TO
please in the extreme; but why criticise
the means when the result is happiness?
And happy we undoubtedly were, alike
in the dark, frosty days. with the moon
shining down upon US at noontide, and
in the calm, delightful Summertime,
with its bright sunlit nights.
