All Of a sudden new and to to them
most interesting object made its APP
pearance. This was a young and very
white zebu calf of few days old, which
came out OF its shed, that was situated in
full sight of the cage only few yards
off.
The moment he saw it one Of the tigers
crouched to the ground, and remained
stationary an. statue-like, watching the
innocent looking baby zebu. He was all
fixed and statue-like, perfectly motionless,
except the very tip OF his tail, about two
inches Of which kept jerking from side to
side, signifying great anxiety, expectation,
and rediness for Immediate action.
Presently the other three perceived
that their comrade had seen something
They also instantly assumed various at
titudes: indicating their intense desire to
kill this young zebu calf and eat him.
This group of four magnificent tigers,
all intent upon one and the same object
was grand In the extreme. 1t was also
very interesting to observe that the moth

stinctiyely that her calf was in danger,

attend to Business.

Nothing but ultimate ruin stares that
farmer in the face vino does not paw per-
sonal attention to all the most minute de.
tails of his farm. There are thousand
small leaks about the management of an
ordinary farm, that, if not closely attend
to, will surely bring the most hard-work
ing farmer to ruin and bankruptcy. Nine
tenths Of the sinking farmers can attrib-
ute their present distress to no other
cause than a lack of close attention TO
the small details of the farm; close SUI
pervision of machinery and tools, the
stock and their feed, place for every
thing and everything in its place. No
one is as much interested in attending to
these details AS the boss. Such course
will, in few months, or in year or two
at most, enable many farmers who are
now on the down grade, to again begin to
ascend. If heroically persevered In, it
will surely make Roadway against what
now locks so hopeless. A fear of sun
burnt hands and face, dirty clothes and
boots, and desire to have a reputation
that he does not work on the farm. has
been the fruitful source Of loss to many
farmers. A course of this kind once en-
tered on will be hard to depart from

Polling Jack Ketch.

There are some instances on record in
which the punishment of sus per col. has
failed, either through some popularity in
the neck and throat of the individual, or
want of tact in the hangman. More
than six centuries ago(if old records are
truthfuD Juetta de Balsham, convicted of
harboring thieves, was sentenced to be
executed. She hung for three DAYS, re-
vived, and was pardoned, as phenomenon
who had somehow or other overmastered
the gallows. DR.. Plot quoted narrative,
Oh the authority of Obadiah Walker, Mas
ter of New College, Oxford, to the effect
that Swiss was hanged thirteen times
over, every attempt being frustrated by
peculiarly in the windpipe which pre-
vented straEgulation. We are not told
whether the thirteenth experiment was
successful, or whether justice was merci-
full at last. Ann Green was hanged at
Oxford for infanticide, in 1850; nav, her
legs were pulled, and her body struck
with soldiers muskets, in accordance with
barbarous custom sometimes adopted of
making assurance doubly sure. Ncverthe-
less, she survived, after hanging some con-
siderable time. Her body was given up
for dissection. The surgeon observed
| faint signs OF animation, tended her in
stead o. anatomizing her, and in thirteen
hours she was able to speak. She remem-
bered nothing distinctly of what had &C
Cured, but seemed to herself to have been
In deep sleep. The Crown pardoned her +;
she married, and became the mother of a
family. Her husband forgave the past
errors of her life, possible for kind Of
celebrity which the singular episode had
brought to her.

No cross without no God within

Amid the worlds false glare and dim.
Oh! happy he with all his loss,1
Whom God hath set beneath the cross,
Heavier the cross, the better Christian;
This is the touchstone God applies.
How many garden would be wasting,
Unwet by showers from weeping eyes!
The gold by fire is purified;
The Christian is by trouble tried.
Heavier the cross, the stronger faith:
The loaded palm strikes deeper root
The vine juice sweetly issueth
When men have pressed the clustered fruit;
And courage grows where dangers come
Like pearls beneath the salt sea FOAM
Heavier the cross, the heartier the prayer;
The bruised reeds most fragrant are;
Ii sky and wind were always fair,
The sailor would not watch the star;
And David's psalms had meier been sung
Ii grief his heart had meyer, Wrung.

the Loretto Convent, on the Canada shore
say that the boat safely jumped the third
reef, when boat and men disappeared in

The supposition is that when the men
determined to attempt shooting the reefs
they had faint hope that they might
reach shore by taking advantage of the
comparatively quiet water below the reefs

proved to be futile. Pieces of the boat

Dro,cned at Niagara Fails.

Two brothers, John and Patrick Reil-
Icy, residing at Chippewa, Ont, visited
this place Monday, crossing the river in
ordinary row boats, one brother arriving
some time later in the day than the 9TH
or. After the business which they came
over to transact had been dispatched. the
two men started to return, about $50
o'clock i'll the evening. One Of the boats
having been taken back to the Chippewa,
the two brothers started to cross the
stream together in the remaining craft.
It is known that both the tated men par
took more or less literally OF intoxicating
drink while in the village, and in this
fact lies the only explanation of their
suicidal folly in choosing the route they
did when they left Port Day for their
Canadian home. For instead of rowing
up the river the usual distance before at
tempting to cross, the men pulled directly
for Chippewa village. Two or three par
ties who were at Port Day when the two
men started out noted the dangerous
route which they had taken, but as both
the Kelley brothers were known to be
we'll acquainted with TIE river, thew
naturally supposed that when they
found they could not cross SO low down
the stream they would pull up and cross
In one Of the usual tracks.
In apparently utter ignorance of the
rapidity which the treacherous curreu
bore the boat down the stream, the two
brothers pulled steadily on their way.
as the boat swept lower and lower, the
attention Of others on the bank of the
river became attracted to the impending
catastrophe. When the boat as seen
from this shore, had apparently gotten
we'll over into the strong Canadian cur
rent; it had drifted far down the river,
and at last, when too late, the brothers
appeared to realize their position. The
boat was headed up the stream, and the
men bent to their oars with desperate
energy. Finding that they were power
less to stem the current, and having drift
ed into close proximity to the first of the
terrible reefs at the head of the Canadian
rapids, the two men were seen to deliber-
ately turn their boat round and with
steady strokes pull their craft safely over
to the reefs. The watchers on this side of
the river then lost sight Of both men and

Watching the Tigers.

The Gagged lion or tiger is seen at a
great disadvantage; he is a prisoner, and
cannot be expected to show off. At the
London Geological Gardens a playground
has been attached to the cages of the IT,
gers, sufficiently large Tor them to sport
in and exhibit some of their jungle hab-
its. Mr.. Buckland thus describes in Land
and Water what he saw while looking at
the tigers in their playground:
It was indeed beautiful sight to see
these lovely, gigantic cats, the four tigers
gradually emerge one by one into their
new, large, open playground. When they
arrived at the opening it was beautiful
to watch them crouch down, making
themselves appear Us small as possible.
Finding nothing hurt or alarmed them,
they curiously examined the trunks of
the trees and rockwork placed there for
their especial benefit They trusted to their
sense of smell rather than to their sense
OF sight.
One of the greatest ornaments the
tigers head possesses besides the regula-
ton V mark over the eyes, which is OBJ
servable in ali thorough bred tigers, the
loneliness of their countenances is much

To the lower end of each whisker is
adloined is very large bulb of nerve

ter goes directly to the brain a nerve
This nerve is in fact a telegraph-wire,
and the whiskers are the Office at which
news is received.
When the tiger is crouching for OF
gradually creeping up to its prey in the
jungle, these whiskers act like so man
sentries, which warn it to keep the right
or left, that the coast is clear or obstruct-
ed, SO that when the animals's eyes are
fully occupied watching its prey, they
act as watchfuf sentries to guide it.
When the four tigers were loose in their
play ground, and the door closed behind
them, they at once began to play, and
very beautiful were their movements az

What q dead Nan Did.

The Youths Companion believes that
: cases Of ailing people startled into
health and soundness would be found
quite numerous, if one shonld set about
collecting them. A Rochester, N. Y,
paper reports another instance of fright
cure. John McGinty, of that city, an
honest lrishman, was terribly afflicted
with rheumatism, and being unable to do
any thing but the lightest work, place
was found for him in st. Mary's Hospit-
al.
$ In the second story is large room,
known as the dead-room, where the
BONES Of those who die in the institution
are placed preparatory to burial. To this
apartment McGinty was sent one evening
Just at dusk to get cross He had been
sent on a similar errand many times be-
tore, and nothing worthy of note had oc-
Cured; but this time he hobbled slowly
and painfully to the silent room, and in
the dim light succeeded in finding the
corpse all right, placed, as usual, upon u
platform about two feet high, with the
hands folded together across the breast,
and holding the cross, which McGinty
reached out and took. but accidentally
dropped beside the body.
"Stooping down low enough to pick
anything from the floor was for him, at
that time, very difficult and painful
task, and, while engaged in it, one of
the hands of the corpse, which had been
Ioosened by the removal of the cross,
| began slowly, of its own weight, to move
| towards him, and when it passed beyond
the centre Of gravity came down, with a
| thump, upon the back of poor rheumatic
McGinty.
Nov he was quite positive that there
was not living soul in the room except
himself; and to have dead man strike
him blow would have startled consid
erably less superstitious man than this
tramp printer, who forgot his rheumatism
and went down stairs on the jump, will
his hair standing on end. He was nearl,
frightened to death; but his rheumatism
was gone; and from that day to this h
has been entirely free from the disease.
