The City Of Silence


1t is just the sweetest city!
Yet sometimes / think we pity
Those who dwell within those pretty
White dwellings on the hill.
It Is so peaceful, pleasant
And fair to jewellers present;
And the partridge and the pheasant
Feel no fear, It is so still.
Its walls are low and narrow,
aud the linnet and the sparrow
Make the only music there. Oh,
SO silent are its homes!
Never have its doors rover:
Myrtle green and reddest clover
Grow in wreathcd profusion over
Its many earthen domes.
Here are found no wrcaths of laurel,
None OF bitter rue and sOrrel;
Never comes the sound of quarrel
In these quaint and vacant ways.
No sound Of stately masses,
Nor Of any praising, passes
Upward through the growing grasses
All the moveless, voiceless days.
Men from other cities wander,
Other home ties sometime sunder:
Not so In the white town yonder
On the wide browed hill.
Not shadow of returning,
Not a jot CT fear or yearning
In the dwellers' bosom burning,
Ever came, Or ever will.
Q, peace SO pure and tender,
50 wrapped about in splendar,
80 needless Of defender
Or champion or aid,
Each lite must have Its knelling:
Some day he who is telling
Shall come and claim 4 dwelling
Among your resting dead.

Urged to Go Into Bankruptcy.

"Boggs," said Mrs. B., suddenly, the

she was reading, "why don't you go into
bankruptcy and have some style about
you?"
"Go into bankruptcv2" repeated Boggs.
'what for?'

Mrs. B. Every body who is any body
goes into bankruptcy nowadays Our
neighbors are all getting the start of US.
Here's Soggs, who lives across the street,
he is IN the list to-day. Now we have
lived in this town a great deal longer

"That's the way always behind every
body else. We never could hold our own
along with the neighbors."
"But we couldn't hold our own if we
went into bankruptcy" persisted boggs.
"Nonsense," cried Mrs. B. "Don't the
Squiggses, who went into bankruptcy
last summer, live just as we'll if not lit

Do it this very day, and it will be in the

children can hold their heads up with the

under a sort of cloud now. People look
at US as much as to say, There's something
the matter with the Boggses.'
"Mrs. Boggs, never take advantage of

lured BY tho beautiful day into tho
fields
In an instant sne TOOK in tho situa-
ton. If she attempted flight, she would
be captured before she could run q hum
dred rods. TO be captured was death
the surrender of the fort. She would
stay in the fort, and and alone fight the
savages until the men, alarmed by the
firing guns, came to her aid.
With a bang the oaken door swung
shut and down went the heavy wooden
bar. Gong from loop. hole to loop hole,
she placed q loaded musket by each one
The terrible war-whoop startled her for
moment. Then her voice rang out,
loud and clear, "Herc Jim, George,
Henry John, Bill! Don't YOU hear9
Bill, stand by that holel Jim, you take
that gum"
Two guns were fred, and then the
voice called out. "George, shoot that
chief! Two more bullets went whizzing
among the Indians.
They were taken aback. They had
supposed the fort deserted, save by the
woman. But it was full of men. Auoth-
er shout, another bullet. and this time it
hit one of them. They hesitated to adj.
vance. Bullet after bullet whizzed, and
two more men were wounded.
Then they turned. an fled, and when
the men came running to the fort,
the brave woman had scarcely
strength to unbar the door
A long time after this brave defence. q
farmer, living near the fort, started one
morning to NOW. As was usual in those
days. he carried his musket With him. He
had Il special reason for being on his
guard. for a certain Indian had become
his personal enemy.
On arriving at the hay field, he leaned
his gun against tree, threw off his coat,
sharpened his scythe, and began moving.
AS swinging his scythe, he drew near
the lower end of the field, he saw an In
dian crouching behind row of bushes.
The farmer was cool man, and swung
his scythe as steadily as if he had seen
nothing.
Looking again, he saw that the Indian
was his enemy. In one hand he held
tomahawk. while scalping knife was
stuch in his belt. The farmer knew that
It he attempted to run for his gun, the
swift-footed Indian would be upon him
before he had gone hundred feet. Self
possession was his protection.
He moved up to the bushes, and then
turned, swinging his scythe as If anxious
to reach the end of his swarth.
Waiting until the mower had departed
two or three rods from the bushes. the
Indian moved noiselessly through the
bushes and crept after the farmer,
But with every swing of the scythc, the
farmer, glancing cautiously over his
shoulder, had taken in the position of his
catlike enemy.
Nearer crcpt the stealtby savage. One
step more, and he would be upon the
mower. Raising his tomah awk, he braced
himself for the spring, and-fell on the
ground dead.
The farmer, with all his strength, had
swung his scythe, with its point inclined
up, completely around. It wounded the
Indian so that he fell dead.

A Bold Defense.

From, the Youths Companion.
In the olden time Indians did not, as
they sometimes do not now, take kindly
to immigrants who settled upon their
hunting grounds. Like the Auglo-Saxon,
they loved broad acres, revered ''vcstcd
nights" and defended both against the
encroachment of white men who held to
"The good old rule and simple plan,
That he should take who has the power,
And he should keep who can"
The relation between the two was not
such as ought to exist between landlord
and tenant. The Indian looked upon the
settler as "s4uatter," whor it was right
to eject, not only from the land, but from
the earth. The bold "tcnant at wi.l' had
to be constantly on his guard for a sum-
mary "notice Of ejectment'' might be
served at any moment by posse OF PANT
ed savages.
About the first thing done by band
OF immigrants locating in an Indian
country was to build fort or block house.
Then. within mile Or less of this refuge,
they scattered their log huts. One of
these old forts now remains, though in a
ruined condition, anG associated with it
is romantic story of frontier life.
In those Indian days to which the
story refers the fort was substantial
building, with brick sides in a wooden
casing. It would have been taken for
the large clearinghouse of prosperous
settler but for the many loopholes cut in
each side.
One bright morning, when not cloud
was to be seen the man left early to work
in the fields, leaving Betty, the woman, to
attend to the fort. For several hours
nothing disturbed the monotony OF he,
