rapidly after him through I

suddenly came upon a huge
bear. A chase at once com

without bringing dow n bis

charge left concluded 10 change
his tactics. Uncoiling the rope
used as a lariai, which was tied
to his saddle, he made a Iasso

stopped and looked back, aslif
expecting company. Declining
a hand-to-hand encounter with a
large bear, Mr.. #. returned to
his horse, and calling to his cous-

chase. With the aid of a stick
he possessed himself of the end
of the rope, which was about
thirty feet in length, and fasten-

bear in his savage efforts to re-

Come, my wife, put down The Bible;
Lay your glasses on the book;
Both OF us are bent and aged;
Backward, mother, let us look.
This is still the same old homestead
Where brought you long ago,
When the hair was bright with sunshin.
That is now like winters snow.
Let us talk about the babes,
As we sit here all alone;
Such merry troop O. Youngsters
How we lost them one by one.
Jack, the first OF an the party,
Came TO us winters night;
Jack, you said, should be parson,
Long before he saw the light. l.a.
DO yes see the great Cathedral,
Filled, the transept and the nave,
Hear the organ grandly pealing,
Watch the silken hangi gs wave,
See the priest in robes Of Office
With the al ar at his back
Would you think that gifted preacher
Coul be eur own little Jack?
Then girl with curly trcssss
Used TO climb upon my knee,
Like little fairy princess
Ruling at the age Of three,
With the years there came a wedding
How your fond heart swelled with pride
When the lord Of all The country,
Chose your baby fo- his bride!
When that stately carriage comning,
And the form reclining there
Would you think that brilliant lady
Could be your our own little Clare?
Then the last, blue-eyed yoangster- IN
ld can hear his prattliig now
Such strong and sturdy fellow,
With lis broad and honest brow;
How he used TO love his mother,
All! see your trembling lip!
He is far out on the wat.r,
Captain Of a royal ship.
See the bronze upon his forehead,
Hear the voice Of stern command
That the boy who clung so fendIy
TO his mothers gentle hand.
All. my wife, we've lost The babies,
3 Ours so long and ours alone;
What are we to these great people,
Stately men and women grewni
Seldom do we ever.see them;
Yes, bitter tear-drop starts.
As we sit here in the freight,
oLoneiy hearth and lonely hearts, Il
All their lives are full without us;
They'll stop long enough one day
Just 20 lay uS in the church-ya
Th.n they'll each go on their way.

Two Englishmen can ordinarily whip one
Yankee, when the weather is favorable; but
the two who challenged Prof. MATHEWS, as
noticed elsewhere in this issie, are likely to
be worsted There is no reasonable doubt
that Afr. ADAMS book was founded on Prof.
Mathews. The title, the plan, and the con-
tents ara substantially the same. The English
publisher makes an interesting point when
he shows that both Prof. MATTHEWS md
Prof. ADAMS are indebted for their
"Gett1ng-On," title to @ previous writer.
But this does not cover the whole
case. The fact that the English author
quoted many considerable passages from
Prof. MATTHEW'S book without credit is not,
and cannot be, denied. The worst feature
Of the Englishmen's defense is that they
both get angry and call names. A good cause
would not need such means Of defense. The
TRIBUNE does not retract or modify one sylla-
bic of the accusation, except, the statement
that the title was plhgisrized. It is, how.
ever, an occasion for regret that the A1essrs.
PUTNAM should think their reputation in
volved in the controversy. They were simply
imposed upon. Their name for good faith
and honorable dealing is above raproach.
