Buifalo BulIs Protecting a Calf.

The buffalo COW seems to have little

spect greatly from the domestic COW.
When frightened, buffalo COW will

leave it to be protected by the bulls, who,
to their honor, seldom forsake their
charge. An army surgeon once saw an
admirable Illustration of this maternal
care.
One evening, as he was returning
from days hunt, his attention was at
tracted by the curious behavior of six or
eight buffaloes. Approaching them he
saw that they were all bulls. They
stood in a close circle with their head
downward. At some twelve or fifteen
PAGES distant sat, in an eccentric circle.
a dozen large gray wolves, licking their
chops, as if impatiently waiting for
supper.
In a few minutes the circle of bulls
broke up, but keeping in a compact
body, walked off toward the main herd
half mile off. To his 9mazement, the
doctor saw in the centre Of the guardian
bulls little feeble calf, newly-born, and
hardly able to walk. After going hun
dred PAGES, the calf lay down, and the
bulls again formed a protecting circle
about it. The wolves, who had followed
ON each side, sat down and licked their
chops.
The doctor did not wait to see the
end, it being late and the fort distant;
but he had no doubt the bulls brought
the calf, abandoned by its mother, safely
to the herd.

humor, for every now and then she drove
the point of her parasol into the un-
Offending MOSES. She looked and was
downright disgusted with everything
and everybody. Tie belle of three
seasons, during which she had escaped
heart-whole, she was now " caught"
and all because of three weeks sojourn
at a country villa.
Madge had never been off her guard
before. Hitherto she had visited
fashionable watering places; but this
year she had come to quieter place, and
had met Lindhurst Barringtou, : She
did not yet know, howeSef, she was in
thralldom.
She only knew she was cross and
lonesome; and so she sat punching the
little blossoms and pouting. She thought
Darlington exceedingly companionable,
and that the other four gentlemen stop
ping at the villa were little better than
wooden men. As for downright, earnest
love, why her intentions for three years
had been never to venture her heart at
sea, but only to glide about the shore,
flirting, safe to disembark any time.
Yet she was now thinking of Lindhurst
harrington IN way many would have
termed love. Bat she would not admit
this to herself He was a delightful
summer friend, that was all, she said.
She liked summer, and flowers, and
birds, and hazy atmospheres, and a
quiet Irritation; but when these went,
the coming season brought new enjoy
ments and fresh hirtations, and Barring
ton could go with them. Were there not
others, pray, who could read Tennyson
and sing tenor? But now, just this
moment, it was rather lonesome. If he

He had gone to town the morning
previous, promising to return in the
evening. She had walked with him
through this wood-path, on his way to
the station. He had fingered moment
at the stile beyond, to tell her how beau
tiful she looked-how the fresh morning
air had frightened the color on her
cheeks.

AbOnt Bells.

The origin Of bells is probably TO be
dated from the time when the sonorous
property of metals was first noticed.
Bells of gold" are mentioned in the
writings of Moses as being attached to
Amou's robe, in order that " his sound
shall be heard when he goeth in unto
the holy place before the Lord" Bells
are also mentioned in Zech. xiv. 20 ::
" In that day shall there be upon the
bells of the horses Holiness unto the
Lord ;" and it has been suggested that
even Tubal Gain, the sixth in descent
from Adam, "and instructor of every
arti6cer in brass and iron, might have
known something of the art of making
them. The Greek warriors are said to
have had small bells concealed within
the hollow of their shields, and when
the captains went their rounds of the
camp at night each soldier was required
to ring his bell in order to show that
he was awake and watchful at his post.
The period when large bells were
first introduced in churches is uncer-
tain, but by the seventh century they
were in pretty general use, since the
venerable Bede at that time mentions
them as being in English churches.
Authorities differ as to who was the
first TO thus introduce them-some
claiming it to have been Paulinus,
Bishop of Nola, in Campania, Italy,
A. d. 400; others, Pope Sabinianus,
A. d. 604. Bells were first known in
France about the year $50. and pretty
generally introduced in churches in
1880 The same authority claims that
the first set of bells (chime) was placed
in Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire, dur
ing the reign of Edmund the First,
A. d. 945. 1t is not definitely known
when bells were first manufactured in
America but it is believed that a
founder by the name of Hanks was the
pioneer in this branch of industry, his
iounlIY being located in COnneeticnt.

He watched her out of the room and
then sat down to the piano.
Miss Barrons first impulse was to seek
out the party on the lawn but, some
how, every face on earth, but one, SEEM
ed tame. Then she resolved to go into
the library and read but books were
so wearying.
I would play" she said pettishly,
if that pig-headed masculine was not
monopolizing the piano.
Just at this point she burst into tears.
Crying, usually, to Miss Barren, con-
sisted of couple of tears mopped up by
bit of lace. She had never before
thrown herself down, in such limp shape
and got into such thorough tempest of
weeping, as now. She was an hour at
it. Gradually she got calmer she sat
up, and began to consider what was next
best to do.
She tried to think of going home as
pleasure soon at hand. Home What
had she there? Only an old aunt, who
dozed in lace cap, with cup of choco-
late at her elbow half the time. The
memory of the pleasant days spent here
would drive her wild, in that gloomy
house. Then she acknowledged that it
would be terrible anywhere without

She jumped to her feet.
He will drive me wild," she said,
changing in that way on the piano.
"She passed into the hall and looked
into the drawing-room, where he sat plac-
idly playing.
Poor fellow !" she thought, chow
can 1 call it obstinacy; it looks like
misery written all over his features
And isn't he superb-looking Why, no
one else has ever approached him; and
he will be mine if say it. !"
Suddenly-can you comprehend it?-
she walked straight into the parlor and
stole up behind him, put her arms about
his neck and pressed her cheeks against
his.
Not word was said for some mo-
ments; but his fingers fell from the
keys, his arms dropped listlessly at his
sides, his head sunk lower and lower on
his breast, and Madge felt mist gath
ering i'll her eyes, mist of happy tears.
"Come out under the stars" she
whispered. 81 want to say yes to
you"
81 am answered. Madge," he said,
drawing one of her hands over his
shoulder and talking with it against his
lips. Let us not mar this moment of
surprise and Joy by single word"
Lyndhurst, you are provoking as
ever. When would not, 1 must; now
I will, shall not. shall have to prac-
tice humility, I see, and study my lords
moods. You've played the high hand
long enough, and insist on saying yes
in my own way. There, now, if you
don't want to speak again in an hour I
will rest my face here and dream"

out, Madge, and let's compare our mu-
tual miseries during the past week.

dow, holding back the swaying vines
for her to pass. There, arm and arm,

Lost Treasures.

And grant us generously one precious boon

Your toilsome days thus far have BEEN OPP

To Light, and charm, and beSutify the rest
What should wo nsk2 the prize Of young

Only our own-the treasures we have lost
For, wearied out with strife, and glare and
clamor,
Grown wiser with our years, and clearer

No more beguiled By dreams, nor charmed by
glamor,
We dread the new, and prize the known the

Ah, what crowd of joys would gather round
us,
Could we but have our vanished back again
The heart uusDoed the strength and bone
which crowned us,
The bounteous life, the ignorance Of pain
The innocence the ready faith in others
The sweet spontaneous earnestness and
truth,
The trust of friends, the tender eyes Of
mothers,

The plans fIr noble lives, that earth thereaf after
Might be more pure the touch OF loves
