ther. however. when they both came
flying at Jacks heels. to hamstring
him. We yelled st them, and Hanse
swung the gun and beat them back
but we saw still. another one away be-
hind. yelping at every leap.
We began to be really frightened
then. for We knew that if large num-
Der Of the brutes were to gather, they
would pull Jack down in spite Of US.
Once they get hold Of horses fetlock.
they will hang like leeches, ard often
they jump and seize horse by the
nose.
1 Near the top of the divide there was
large cedar stump that had been
burned out hollow. 1t was q great
smutty shell. as much as ten feet
across. ahd fifteen or twenty feet high,
except in one place on the side next the
road, where it was burned down to not
over five or six feet from the ground.
There was . great many such stubs.
but this one happened to stand close to
the trail.
What if we should try that stump,
and let Jack go?' Hanse exclaimed.
1t seemed our best course. and l
reinei the horse to the foot OF th>
stump. We both clambered on TO it.
then gave Jack slap with the gun :
stock to send him on.
We dropped down inside the stump,
ard teard our horse 90 off ct Q full run
over the top of the divide aud down
the slope beyond, the three wolves
otter him.
We could hear other wolves. how
ever. bowling at q distance; bu: for
time. we thought We had given them
the slip. We were mistaken, however.
Soon one came racing along, then
stopped for . moment, howled, and
leaped up outside the stub So high that
we caught glimpse of his head.
The next time he jumped, Hanse
gave him blow with the gun stock.
At that. the brute howled the louder;
and pretty soon. tao or three more
came a!Oux.
First one, then another them be-
gan to jump up outside. But it was
too high, aud wh.ne !or their heads
came in sight, we would hit them with
the gun butt.
They finally got tired Of this and
went off. Either these. or others. came
back several times, and we heard them
bowling near by for two or three hours.
We did not attempt to climb out OF
our stump till It was bread daylight.
Before We got home. we met father and
our next neighbnr. Mr. Durham. look.
ing along the trail as if expecting to
find something.
We did not wonder that our folks
had been greatly alarmed about us. and
that they expected to find our we'll
picked bones beside the road.
Jack had escaped from the wolves.
though they had SCARED his legs some
what, aud reached home. 1t was very
natural, therefore, that the folks should
feel almost sure that the wolves had
eaten us.

THE LOOM OF LIFE.

all day, all night, can hear the jar
OF the loom of life, and near and far
1t thrills with its deep and muflled sound,
AS tireless the wheels go always round.
Busily, ceaselessly goes the loom,
In the light of day and the midnight's gloom,
The wheels are turning early and late,
And the woof is wound in the warp of Fate.
Click, clack there's thread oflove woven in
Click, clack another of wrong and sin
What checkered thing this life will be,
When we see it unrolled in eternity. ~
ime, with face like mystery,
And hands as busy as hands can be,
Sits at the loom with arms outspread,
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
When shall this wonderful web be done2
In thousand years, perhaps, or one,
Or tomorrow. Who knoweth Not you or /
But the wheels turn on and the shuttles fly.
All, sadeyed weavers, the years are slow,
But each one is nearear the end know;
And some day the last thread shall be woven in,
God grant itbe love instead of sin.
Are we spinners of wool in this life-web-say2
Do we furnish the weaver's thread each day2
1t were better, then, oh my friends, to spin
beautiful thread than a thread of sin.

THE STREET SINGER.

A BOUT a century ago there lodged in
n two very small, badly furnished
second floor rooms in Cornaby street,
Golden Square, London, a middle-aged
German musician named Bernhard Dill
linger, and his daughter Bertha.
He had resided in England for several
years, and until stricken down by
paralysis nine months previous to the
opening of this tale, he had held an en-
gagement as one of the repiano vio-
Inns in the orchestra of Her Majesty's
Theatre, which at that time was the
only Italian Opera House in London.
The two rooms which they inhabited
were, though remarkably clean and tidy,
wretchedly bare of furniture; for dur
ing his long and disastrous illness every
available thing they had formerly pos
sessed had been sold at sore sacrifice
from time to tim to provide daily bread
and supply medical necessities for the
helpless invalid.
Poor Bertha There was nothing -
literally nothing whatever in their
rooms on which she could raise single
penny. Two common rush bottom
chairs, a deal table, the truckle bedstead
with its coarse mattress on which her
fatherilay, and an old guitar that hung
on the wall, constituted all the furniture
that now remained to them. Even her
own little couch, which stood in the
outer room, she had, unknown to him,
sold a fortnight before to procure food
and pay a months rent to their stern
Ian dlady and she had slept upon the
hard boards ever since.
AS she sat toasting the last morsel of
stale bread, which, with cup of weak
tea, was to form her fathers last meal
for the day, she might we'll be pardoned
If she gave way to feelings of utter de-
spair.
She had hitherto borne her burthen
bravely; and though, through all the
long tedious months that had worn
their dreary course along since he was
stricken down, she had scarcely ever
left his bedside, but sat hour after hour,
day after day, week after week, cheer
full, and apparently content; she now
felt herself sinking under the complete
hopelessness of their future prospects.
She pressed her poor little thin hands
convulsively to her forehead and wept
bitterly.
But she was not one of those shallow,

Banued Hair or IdlOtIc Fringe.

ITO our sight, there is nothing sadder
i than sane woman with her hair
banged.
A lunatic might be excused for such an
erratic style of hair dressing, but how
woman in the full possession of her
faculties, and with the knowledge that
she has character to keep up, can
wear her hair banged, is to us, a pro-
found mystery.
From whence came the style? What
originated it? Who set it ahoat? No
body on earth can say truthfully that
it is beautiful. We have never heard
that it was healthy. We never heard
of its curing the liver complaint, or the
rheumatism. 1t does not render any
one more liable to draw a prize in a
lottery. 1t does not insure wearer against
being drowned, or struck by light
ming, or bored by sewing machine
agents.
1t does not make tall woman look
shorter, or short one taller, or a fat
one leaner, and if it is becoming to any
human face, then the face has escaped
our noticel
1t will metamorphose the prettiest girl
of our acquaintance into monstrosity,
and for its effects on a plain woman =
may the saints deliver us from seeing
it'll
1t sets our teeth on edge! 1t i'm
parts to the average female face the
most discouraged, woe-begone, done-for
generally expression, we have ever seen
-as if the person had played her last
card, got euchred, and was ready to sell
out cheap to the first purchaser.
Just imagine Lady Washington with
her hair banged Think of Barbara
Fritchie, waving the flag in Stonewall
Jackson's face, with her hair banged
Picture to yourself Joan of Arc leadi ng
her troops to victory with her hair
banged
A woman in this styleo of hair arrange
ment resembles shetland pony, which
has been well groomed, and which is in
doubt and uncertainty, as if she felt
little anxious lest the thatch ON her
forehead might not be securely fastened,
or that IL suddenly might go back on
her, and show something which ought
not to beSeen.
We always commiserate the women
whose hair is banged. We feel like ask
ing her if there is anything we can do
for her. She appears to us like q wo-
man in trouble. We speak softly to. her
as If ordinary tones might jar on her
nerves. We wouldn't offer her a sub
scription paper for the world NcE be
glad If anybody trod on the tail Of her

POLICE OUTRAGE IN NEWARK.

A CATHOLIC PRIEST LOCKED UP ON AN AL
LEGGED FALSE CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS.
In Newark last evening Rcv. Pierce Mccarthy. q
Catholic priest stationed ut East Newark driving
along Broad street when his vehicle came into coll
lision with driven by Mr.. Edward H. Harrison,
of Bcllcville. Mr. Harrison was thrown out. Father
McCarthy's wagon wheel shot off and his horse, q
rather restive animal at all times plunged forward
Tho priest sprsng out to scizc his horses head.
A crowd collected and thorc great
commoiion. Just then officer Knapp appeared, and.
without waiting for a word of explanation, dragged
the clergyman of to Police Headquarters. where he
was flung into cell to a charge of drunken
ness. Dr. O'Gornlan and other well known Catholic
citizens heard of the matter. and were asked TO OBJ
tain tho release OF the clergyman. They did so.
Mortified that minister should be in such
humiating position. they made no inquiry, took
IL for granted that he must have been misbohavng,
and got him away quickly and as quietly as pos
siblc, paying the usual fine for drunkenness.
Mccarthy and demanded q trial. 1t seems
the doctor then discovered that the stupid
policeman had mistaken excitement for intoxica-
tiopthe excitement of the priest over the outrage
perpctrated upon him. trial was had before JUS
tice Picord which resulted in the utter disproving
of the charge aud the discharge of the Clergyman.
II is said that nction will be begun against
the police authorities for false imprisonment. Mrs.
Newhon, OF No. II walnut street. declared last even-
ing that she Witnessed tho arrest and shocked at
the brutal way In which Rev. Mr. Mccarthy
dragged along the sidewalk. The other side OF the
story having gotten abroad IL caused not little

BOLD RoDDEny.-O Saturday morning
a thief entered the store of Mr.. R. j,
Smyth, corner Market and Fourteenth
streets, and took from the money drawer
ST. in bills. A lot Of loose silver in the
drawer was not disturbed. The money
drawer is in a desk in the office in the
back part Of the store, and how the rob.
berry was committed without the
thief being observed is a mystery. At the
time the circus procession passed by, Mr..
Smyth locked the side door, and with his
clerks stood in the front door and looked
at the display. The money was missed
about half an hour after the procession
