An Exciting Bear.IIunt.

The rare spectacle Of bear-hunt in
the streets of Philadelphia was recently
witnessed with no little trepidation and
excitement by several thousand people.
Henry Rudhardt, tavern-keeper, pur-
chased half-grown black bear and
domiciled it i'll his back yard, intending
it as an attraction to the saloon. Rud-
hardt imagined that he was an amateur
animal tanner, but developments proved
the contrary. Bruin Jared royalty, and
became 80 savage that the neighbors
were alarmed lest he should escape and
harm some person. Rudhardt assured
them that there was no danger-he had
him tanned. The neighbors were paci-
fed, and everything was quiet until one
evening when Bruin slipped his collar,
climbed the fence, and took position on
a shed in the next yard Instantly the
neighborhood was in an uproar. Mothers
grasped their little ones, rushed into
their houses, and doublebolted and
looked doors and windows. Street
gamins scampered home, and even grown
men accelerated their speed in direc-
ton opposite to where the fear was.
Meanwhile Bruin was contentedly hold
ing tae fort, having stretched himself
out for nap. The police were called
out amid great uproar, and, urged by
the shouts of the gathering crowd, adj
vanced upon the enemy. A Sergeant
fired seven shots without effect. Bruin
slept on placidly, as if unaware of the
attempt at his life. The nervousness of
the Sergeant had spoiled his aim, al
though he was within five feet of the
bear. You can't shoot Let me try, !"
said Officer Dean. His revolver, a
seven-shooter, was emptied, the two last
shots taking effect. Bruin got up,
growled, and shook his shaggy coat,
while Dean clambered upon the fence,
ready to drop in the alley and run. The
wounds only angered the bear, who
began promenade on the roof of the
shed. One officer after another then ad-
vanced in rapid succession and emptied
their revolvers, and others would have
fired had not the bear growled and made
them run. The police were advised to
get mortar or cannon and send for
the Sixth Regiment, the heroes of the
Pittsburgh round-house. A volunteer
then let off his double barreied shotgun,
and the firing from all points of the
compass became general. Just as the
brute yielded up his life, another squad
OF twenty-five policemen came on the
scene at double-quick. The carcass

Bitter Feelings Engendered by the
Irish Famine.

Among the most baleful and long-lived
of the results of the great famine" are
the bitter feelings which it engendered
between the Irish and the English. The
former, their brains yet afire with the
memory of the unspeakable horrors, con-
slider the hardness and insuficiency of
English aid crime, and call the famine
a " slaughter" while the latter, mindful
of the torture of sympathy which their
own generous hearts endured, and Of the
splendid contributions they freely sent
forth, are maddened by the fierce ingrat-
itude of the sufferers. 1t is sore that
may never be healed; but Mr.. Sullivan's
efforts to explain the sad misunderstood
ings are of great value, coming from one
of the victims, who feels with an Irish
heart, and who is yet keen-sighted, lib
eral and patriotic. He feels that the
noble generosity of the English people
has been forgotten in q frenzy of re-
proach against the English Government
of that day. When the warning voices
were raised, when, even, the storm had
burst, the Government refused to move
beyond the speed and limits of ordinary
constitutional methods. Red tape killed
it's thousands in Ireland as certainly as if
it had been bowstring about their necks.
While the smitten fields were strewed
with rotting corpses, the mobiles and states
men in England were fatty denying, in
public speeches, that there was any fam
Inc in Ireland The British naval au-
thorities even refused the loan of ship to
transport across the channel the generous
contributions of the people, because it
was contrary to all regulations while,
Immediately upon this fatal strictness,
the American vessels Macedonia and
jamestown arrived. bringing salvation
from the far-off shores. Who can won
der that the Irish fail to make needful
allowance, and feel their blood mad
dened at the memory of that dreadful
time? The Governments fatal tardi-
ness, and its still more exasperating
blunders the glorious generosity of the
English people the strange sentimental
obstacles raised in England the embit-
tered hinderances in Ireland-are they
not known to all readers If not, they
are given clearly, almost dispassionately,
in the pages OF "New Ireland" The
results, at least, are written all over the
face of the unfortunate isle. The old
simplicity of life and manners is for
ever gone the robberies and depreda-
tons which starving, maddened Great
ures were driven to commit have ban
ished the times when no door was ever
padiocked, and every passing stranger
was welcomed for the night. The noble
temperance movement, too, was checked
and nearly destroyed; the poor peas
ants, denied food, turned to the bottle,
and the vile appetite once more regained
its throne. But far deeper scars than
these remained upon Ireland we shall
see them again and again, hecking with
their CHASTITY rents all her recent histo-
ry.-ADDLetOns' Journal for April

THE TWO NEPHEWS.

At the parlor window of pretty villa,
near Walton-on- Thames, sat, one even
ing at dusk, an old man and young wom-
an. The age of the man might be some
20 years, while his companion had GER
tainly not reached 10. Her beautiful,
blooming face and active, light and up
right figure were in strong contrast with
the worn countenance and bent frame of
the old man, but in his eye and in the
corners of his mouth were indications of
a gay self-confidence which age and
suffering had dampened but not extin-
guished.
"No use looking any more, Mary, 4"
said he; neither John Meade nor Peter
Finch will be here before dark. Very
hard that, when a sick uncle asks his
two nephews to come and see him, they
can't come at once. The duty is simple
in the extreme-only to help me to die
and take what L choose to leave them in

Saint vioIet-An April Caprice.


You little love of April skies,
Small violet upon the hill,
Lift up TO mine your terder eyes
doubt them once, when saints we're rare,
Some poet saw you shy and fair,
And sainted you ; and since the earth
Has always poets for each spring,
Whose blessed birthright IL to sing,
Your sainthood finds its witnc-s still.
come not that the years new birth
May wake its parallel in me;
Nor do pray that, as l free
These dewy grass-blades from your face,
Their homely drops Of Helicon
Anont me to spring minstrelsy;
This living sod kneel upon,
That We may hold, as of one race,
a human-hearted talk to-day.
Saint Violet, what would you Say
If some keen-visioned star should smite
lou IN the hushed and dreaming night
With sad -knowledye-bid you probe
Your simple self arraign your days
With failure, and should 80 disrobe
You, shrinking, of your poets praise?
Speak, Violet would you choose to be
This soul that from itself would fee?
Your blameless peace but once to know
All mortal chance could forego.
Think fast within your purple hood:
The pain of loving you will learn
The pain-ah me how can turn
From the dear habit-that great good ?
Ana sometimes, 10 your human eyes
This changeful sky, that battles and dries
Your upturned face, will surely seem
The vestment of Soul supreme
The vestment, thinning TO the sight,
Of an unborrowed parent-hght.
Against your loveless peace set
One glimpse of God, one chance to say,
Between the dawn and death of day,
90 love-am blest !" o, Violet
Content you, little, sweet-breathed saint,
Your choice is past, and my complaint.
Poor Violet, who neer can be
This hopeful soul that kneels by thee.

Turkish journalism.

Constsntinople is not well supplied
with news, although that city supports
eighteen daily papers printed m English,
French, Turkish, Greek, Armenian,
Spanish, and Bulgarian. Reporters are
unknown. The editorials of the Greek
and Armenian newspapers are on church
matters alone, while the Turkish papers
are filed chiefly with translations from
the European press. The way news
items are banded about is amusing.
The Turkish paper, Bassiret, publishes
an item in the morning, which is served
up in slightly altered garb in the Levant
Herald in the evening, and is copied
next morning into the Bassiret as indie
pendent testimony to it's truth. On the
third day the Bossiret learns that it is
false, and says so.

Fate.
Like dive cold Ground.

Like the gold ground of Fra Angelica,
Not bright but clear and pure, whereon go flying
The matchmaking angels to and fro,
More fair for all the glory underlying;
Wherein all shapes of heaven and earth but seem
To float and float, not real, save as they cover
But for a time the ever-during CLEAN,
AS clouds between and the sunlight hover;
so shines thy love within the silent room
OF my still heart; so shines my love for thee,
Making golden light within the gloom
OF all the time and space between that be.
Will nll things else thereon like shadows pass and
snde,
Drawing tlerefrom alone their beauty their pride

Easter Lilies.

Dari.ngs of June and brides of summer sun,
Gull pipes the stormy wind, the skies are drear
Dull and despoiled the gardens every one;
What do you here7
We looked to your gracious blooms arise
Mid soft and wooing airs in gardens green,
Where venturesome brown bees and butterflies
Should hail you queen.
Here is no bee nor glancing butterfly;
They fed on rapid wings before the snow;
Your sister lilies laid them down to die,
Long, long ago.
And here amid the slowly dropping rain
sc keep Easter feast with hearts whose care
Mars the high cadence Of each lofty strain,
Each thankful prayer.
But not a shadow dims your joyance sweet,
No baffied hope or memory darkly clad
You lay your Wilderness at the Lords dear feet
And are all glad.
Oh coward soul, arouse thee and draw near,
Led by these fragrant acolytes to-day!
Let their sweet confidence rebuke thy fear,
Thy cold delay.
Come with thy darkness to the healing light
Come with thy bitter, which shall be made sweet
And lay thy soil beside the lilies white,
At His dear feet

Easter EGGS.

Dear Grandpa Lee, with little Grace,
Followed the pathway to the mill;
Bright daisies starred the shady lane,
And now and then bird nd trill.
Once when a birding spread its wings,
She said, "All things are fair and gay
The Fky so blue where birdie sings !"
Said grandpa, "This is Easter day"
Thus happily they onward went
Till Grace cried, I" There il little Kate,
And Frank and Nellie, too-and oh!
Nell's swinging on the garden gate :"
As Grace and grandpa came in sight,
The little ones to meet them sped
Their eager, prattling lips apart,
Eyes flashing bright and cheeks rose-red.
Z" Oh, grandpa in the hedge we've found
Four Easter eggs, all colored blue;
They're in the sweetest little nest;
We want to show our prize to you'll"
Said grandpa, Touch them not, my dears;
Those eggs God dyed with colors rare;
The mother-bird will soon come back,
And guard her nest with loving care.
- These Easter eggs, in leaf-hid nests,
nnprison countless song-birds bright,
That soon will break the tinted shell
And rise and sing in Joyous flight"

WHoopING- COUGH is said to be effectu-
ally treated in Austria by the use of the
rod. When the child is seized by one
of the coughing fits, the rod is vigor-
ously applied. The doctors allege that
whooping-cough is rather a nervous al
lection than anything else, and the fog
ging, besides a good counter-irritant,
rouses the child to an exercise of the
will which often suppresses cough.
