An Alligator whipped by q Cow.

On last Saturday man here was
looking for some of his hogs that he had
missed for several days, and had neared
the river when he heard COW below
ing. Upon going to the bank of the
river and looking on the opposite side,
he saw on a sandbar an alligator, a COW
and young calf. The alligator had the
COW and calf between itself and the riv-
er. He made dart for the calf, when
the COW rushed between them and a
fearful fight ensued. While this was
raging the calf got into the woods and
faced about, bleating plaintively. The
alligator was not more than seven feet
long, and struck mt the cow furiously
with its tail. The COW avoided rs many
of these blows as possible, but yet re-
ceived quite a number, one of which
knocked her rolling over for about ten
feet. The alligator rushed upon her
with open mouth, and tried to seize her
by the nose, but she was up in time to
catch it upon the horn under the throat,
and threw it over backward, and before
it could get another lick at her or de-
fend itself she was on il again. Toss
lug it high into the air 1t fell into the
water with splash, and did not venture
to the land again. The COW, after rush.
ing around looking for the enemy, ran
to her calf and made tracks through the
woods for home, looking back occasion
ally to see if she was pursued. .-Ameri-

Wooing and Winning In Greenland.

When the Danish missionaries had
secured the confidence Of the Green
landers marriage was made religious
ceremony. Formerly the man married
the woman by force. One of the mis-
sionaries writing in his journal describes
the present style of courtship as follows: I:
The suitor coming to the missionary,
said; al should Ike to have WIFE,"
"WhomP" asked the missionary. Tho
man names the woman. "IIast thou
spoken 20 hcrP" Sometimes the man
will answer: {" Yes! she Is not unwill-
ing, but thou knowcst womankind."
More frequently the answer Is "No."
"Why notP" alt Is difficult; girls arc
prudish. Thou must speak 20 her. ;"
The missionary summons the girl, and
after little conversation, says, " think
IL In time TO have thee married." al
won't marryir "What n pityi had
n suitor for YOU" WhomP" The mis-
sionary names the man who has sought
his aid "He Is good for nothingf
won't have himP'' "But," replies the
missionary, .. he is n good provider; he
throws his harpoon with skill, and be
loves thee. " Though listening 10 his praise
w ith evident pleasure the girl answers,
al won't have himl" swell. i won't
force thee. shall find n wife for such
4 clever fellow" The missionary re.
mains silent, as though he understood
her No" TO have ended the matter.
At last, with sigh, she whispers, "Just
as tbou win have it, "No," replies
the clergyman rs thou wilt; I'll not
persuade fhee.' Then with deep
groan comes Yes" and the matter Is
settled.

DRYING HOME THE COWS.

Out OF the clover and blue eyed grass, a.
He turned them into the river lane; 4<
One after another he let them pass,
And fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill,
He patiently followed their sober pace;
The merry whistle for once was stiff,
And something shadowed the sunny face.
He never would let his youngest CO.
Two already were lying dead,
Under the feet of the traInpling foe.
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the meadow
20 swamp, 1855
l Over his shoulder he slung his gun
And steathily followed the foot path damp
Across the clover and through the wheat,
With resolute heart and purpose grim,
Though cold was the dew on the hurry ing feet
And the blind bats fitting startled him. :
Thrice since then flatfthe lane been white,
And the orchard sweet with apple bloom;
And now when the cows came back at night
The feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the lonely farm
=. That three were lying where two had lain;
And the old mans treInltlous palsed arm
Could never lean on sons again.
The summer day grew cold and late,
He went for the cows when the work was
done; r'..'
But down the lane, as he opened the gate,
He saw them coming. one by one
Bifndle, Ebony, Speckle, and Bess,
Shaking their horns in the evening wind;
Cropping the buttercups out of the grass
But who was it following close behind?
Loosely swung I'm the idle air 81
The empty sleeve of army blue;
And worn and pale, from the crisping hair,
Looked out a face that the father knew.
The gTe;it tears sprang to their meeting eyes
For the heart must speak when the lips are
dumb, -
And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.
