a Prehistoric FOrtiflcation.

There remains to this day the ruins
Of an ancient Fertilization about four
teen miles from Tyrone, near Moshan-
non Creek, Centre County, Pa. The Oh
tire site covers about two acres of
ground, a portion of the outer walls.
however, beiug entirely demolished.
What seems now to have been the into
rior of the vast masonry consists Of
series of parapets. and faces of the cm-
brasures running at various angles.
The front of the parapels, and faces Of
the cmbrasures, are still covered with
some kind of durable plaster or cement.
This cement facing Is of red color,
about half all inch thick, and hard, al
most as flint. Where 1t is broken the
rock has crumbled away to the depth
of several inches, and tho top of the
rocks Is also worn away by time and
the action of the elements, leaving the
edges Of tho cement project like tlanges
set perpendicular to tho plane of the
rock. The age of this old fortress is
beyond all possibility of computation.
The composition of the cement Is not
known, bnt the building material te-
longs to that class of rocks known
among geologists as Mahoning sand
stone. This formation, when found in
placs, caps the Clearfield and Centre
County region. At the time of It's de-
post no human being existed on the
face Of the earth, nor until long periods
thereafter. Large trees now stand on
the old masonry, and these are but the
successors of other generations of trees
that decayed many centuries ago.

First Guard Duty.

The first tour OF guard duty at West
Point was PERFORMED by the late Major
General II. w. Sherman, on one of the
most terrible nights l ever witnessed.
a storm of wind and rain arose soon af-
ter nightfall and ragged during the
greater part of the night with unabated
fury, while frequent flashes of light.
ming disclosed the old forts and other
picturesque surroundings Of tho point
only to render it moro appalling. Add
to this frequent peals of thunder echo
Ing among the surrounding peaks as II
the world was coming to an end, and
you can form some idea of the scene
that comes up so vividly to my men,
ory after the lapse Of nearly half cen
tury. In the midst Of this terrible war
Of the elements it occurred to three OF
our cadets-one of them, perhaps, the
corporal of the >guard-that this would
be Il favorable time to test the metal Of
the young "pleb" from Newport. /
l shall never forget Sherman's aprear-
ance as he entered our tent the next
morning, his gun cut and SCARED in
various places, his clothes wet and
dripping and covered with mud.
Whithorn (also from Newport) and
myself eagerly inquired for the cause
of his plight, and were informed that
there were three men or devils-he did
not know nor care which-Aad ap-
preached his post In the midst of the
storm, covered with "white Sheets"
AID endeavored to pass without giving
the countersign. One of them, armed
with a musket and fixed bayonet, at
tempted to force his way; "but," said
he, stood my ground, and would have
run HIM through, but for his superior
skill in using the weapon" AS soon as
the young trio found that young Sher-
man meant business, they disappeared
under The cover of the darkness, lcay-
ing him master Of the situation, and l
doubt not, have kept their defeat to
this day a profound secret. The Incl
dent, however, Is too good to be lost,
and now put it OH record because l
am probably the only living man, Whit
horn having died early, that knows
anything about it; and also because it
gave unmistakable promise Of the
brilliant career now part Of our ma
tional history.

Tame OstrlcIles.

These strange birds statked at the
head Of the procession of domestic ami
mails and appeared to DO on most ex-
cellent terms with all Of them. Occas-
ionally one would devtate to tho right
or left OF tho track to peck a mouthful
OF grass, but as soon as the drover
would leave the road and shout at 1t, 1t
woul'i Immediately fall into its proper
place and march forward with the ut
most demure gravity, as if to be guilty
OF an infringement Of rules was the last
thing 1t would think Of. Ostriches al
ways have an intensely stupid look, but
they are not nearly such fools as the
uninitiated would take them for; and
although the most timid creatures on
the earth when in a state Of nature, In
captivity or when domesticated, they
are bold and dangerous, more especially
the males. Horse or rider indiscrimi-
nately they will attack, walking up to
the OBJECT OF their indignation with a
quiet, measured stride, never evincing
Tor moment the slightest evidence Of
hostility-in fact, looking such fools
that no one would imagine them cana
ole of inimical ideas--when, with a
quick movement, done with great
strength and velocity, they raise their
loot and strike forward, the edges of
the toes being 80 sharp that they will
cut your clothes the whole length of the
stroke. AS they are too valuable to be
knocked on the head, perhaps you turn
TO run from them, but their speed is
such that an attempt thus to elude them
Is useless. The onl, plan then to be
pursued is to throw your self Gown and
lie still on your face or back. They
cannot kick you in til. o positions. but
they will jump Oh you and Irample all
over you. While this operation is going
on you may give vent to your feelings
and satisfy your self esteem by bestow-
ing upon them few reminders that
two can play the same game.

THE MIRROR OF LIFE.

Let us look in tho glass for q moment
Let us brush off tho mist from the face--
The mirror Of life that Ia brokon
When Death In our car knels tho token

We must fall whether praying or pining,
Whether fearing or hooking tho blow,
Brush the mist from the mirror, then trem-

The gravo is no place for dissombling-
Thoro Wanting lies low.
The eyes. as they gazo to earths glory,
Poor INTO that mirror Of pain
Where tho slain Of our years lies all CORY,
Bent ovor by grim shadows hoary
Recording each stain. -
Not blot nor a blomish escapes them,
The sins Of the lone and tho crowd,
The crime whore wo pandered or paltered,
Tho dark things that lips never fulterod
There cry out aloud.
They arc thoro, and no tempests can hide
them;
They glow with accusing and shame,
Tho The years bo all dead. they arc living,
Mid tho silence they cry for forgivng
With dircful acclaim.
On the wreck-p!ank of lifo is thoro pardon
When JOY is worn hollow in sin2
When the heart sees no ght in tho SPARKLE
Nor gloom whore the drowsy waves darkle
Der fooman and kim
Then brush tho worlds mist from the mirror
While life in our bosom is sweet.
And turn, with love Of tho purest
rer pathways tho fairest and surebt,
