The Cunning of the Fox.

Many curious anecdotes are told of the
craft of the fox, some of which are, no
doubt, apocryphal, but others, doubtless,
true. Naturalists assert that it has been
frequently authenticated that the fox has
counterfeited death to escape capture.
have been told story of this kind
within few days by person who claims
that he was eye witness Of the affair.
Some fishermen on the West coast of
Ireland were in the habit of going to a
small island, a few hundred yards from
the main land, in quest of bait. The
island was inhabited by large numbers
of rabbits and could be reached at low
tide by wading, the water then being
only o few inches deep. One morning
they went in their boat quite early, it be-
ing high tide, and on landing saw dead
fox lying on the beach. The fur of the
animal wasa all bedraggled and he seemed
to have been drowned. One Of the men
remarking that his skin was worth some
thing pitched him into the boat.
Procuring their bait they returned to
the main land, and the man who had
possessed himself of the fox seized him
by the tail and flung him on shore AS
soon as the animal struck the beach he
picked himself up with considerable
agility for dead fox, and shot off like a
fash up among the cliffs, while the men
stood staring at each other in mute as
constituent. The men concluded that
he had crossed over to the island during
the night when the tide was low, in
search of rabbits, and finding in the
morning that he was cut off from the
mainland, counterfeited death with the
expectation of thereby procuring pass
age to the shore in the boat, an expecta-
ton which was fully realized. Boston

more, and then again choose another

Rnrdette and His Wife.

Miss Anna G.. Starbuck, Of Rochester,
writes to the Democrat and Chronicle
Of that city:
have talked with one lady who has
lately been Of Nantucket, where the
genial Haukeye is spending his vacation,
and [ learned that he who touches, as
with fairy's wand, the fountain Of mirth
and laughter and cheer for others, bears
in his own heart the constant pain
hardest Of ali pain to bear--of seeing his
nearest and dearest q helpless invalid.
And yet with o devotion, such as few
men are capable of, his brave. young
strength is freely, sweetly, tenderly given
to her whom he has promised through
life to protect. Of him may it truly be
said, Greater love hath no man than
this, that he lay down his life for his
friend. For daily, hourly, is this serv-
ice of his rendered Mrs. Burdette is as
helpless and dependent upon her hus-
band as little child. Wherever he goes
she goes; she his guardian angel, and he
hers in literal sense. About the streets
of the island town he wheels her wicker
chair SO carefully that not jostle pains
the sensitive body or startles the nerves
of the invalid. Into the dining-room of
the hotel he comes bearing his fragile
wife in his arms; every want every most
trivial wish of hers is attended to by him,
and all for loves sake There is kind
of patience that submits with dumb resig
nation to burden and there is another
kind that lifts its head shedding human
light over all, and healing its own heart
at the same time that it heals the hearts
of others. From this latter patience
bubbles up the mirthful genius of Bur
dette's writings. It is said that he
dashes off his humorous sketches first to
gladden. the heart of his wife and relieve
the lonely hours of her invalidism, then
gives them to the public and sets the
whole literary world in smiling mood.

His Wife Was Ahead.

Some few years since, in the county
of Penobscot, there lived man by the
name OF H, whose greatest pleasure
was in tormenting others. His own fam
lily were generally the butt of his sport.
One cold and clustering night he retired
to bed at an early hour, his wife being
absent at neighbours. Some time after,
she, on returning, finding the door closed,
demanded admittance.

4 MAINE ROMANCE.
WHY Eeagss. [t;ar.1ers Are So Very Mach
ENCfseA


ExCfses
Nobody. at least nobody VINO flls the
responsible position Of parent to young
and besutiful and also manageable
daughter, will deny that Miss Mary L,
Weaver, of Beams Corners, Franklin
County. Maine, was wholly IN the wrong
from first to last. Less stern judges may
incline to the belief that just at the
very first her conduct was not such as to
deserve especially severe censure; that
is to say, when she began TO walk home
from the Wednesday evening prayer
meeting arm in arm with Edward Tuttie
and permitted him to squeeze her hand
little against his ribs with his elbow.
And these same lenient Judges may think
that old Mr.. Weaver was altogether too
severe when he caught Mary in the very
act of kissing goodnight at the the gate
and told TuttIs that if he "didn't clear
out quicker'n hghtnin he would kick
him him off the premises for s good-for-
nothin' sqIiid. But even these aggrs-
waited manifestations q paternal solicit
tude cannot be regarded as ittstifying

in the bHfying- ground and sitting on his
lap on the steps of ex-Congressman
Walkers wife's monument. However,
the kindly souls may think that even for
such a transgression as this-which,
after all, was only human nature-old
Mr.. Weaver had no right to serve futile
out by locking Mary in her room; dress
ing himself up in her frock; going up to
the burying- ground ct the usual hour:
letting futile begin to hug him and call
him his souls dearest darling, as he
helped him over the style-and then
suddenly letting out on him with a raw
hide and all the cuss words in the Eng
lish language. Really, this way of
settling a love affair does seem to be
carrying the war just trife too far into
Africa, and up at Beans Corners public
opinion is q good deal divided. All the
fathers and mothers at the Corners back

against futile for the loss of the part Of
his ear that futile bit off when he got to
having a realizing sense of the situation;

and bewildered by the death of her par

the storm of flying death that swept
across the plain.
just as he reached the trenches with
his precious burden, the young soldier
was hurled to the ground badly wounded,

back of the neck. Although he lived and
finally recovered, terrible and unsightly
