A White Mountain Guide.

OURguide walked on before us, erect
and manly, wearing one of those broad
canvas hats which are characteristic OF
this region. and furnish one of our few
glimpses Of picturesque costume. He
had led for years the genuinely out
door life which belongs to our mount
aineers. As rule, farmers are far less
rich in conversation than SEE side peo-
ple-sailors, pilots, fishermen; the rural
lives are rather monotonous and un-
eventful; but when you come where the
farms actually abut upon untamed for
est, the art of conversation revives. and
James Merrill was as good as Thoreau,
SO far as the habit of observation could
carry him.
He showed us, in the occasional de-
posits of soft mud by the water bars on
the mountain road, how to distinguish
squirrel-tracks, sable-tracks, bear
tracks. A bear had passed, as he proved
to us, within o few days. which had
weighed about one hundred aud seven
ty-tive pounds, and was probably two
years old. He pointed out to us where,
in sandy places, the young partridges
had nestled and fiuttered like hens in
the path, and where the hedgehogs had
gnawed and torn the roots in the wood.
He told us how these little "quill-pigs.
as they are popularity called. defend
themselves with their tails, thrashing
them about till the nose of dog or
other animal is full of bristles; the dogs
instinctively fear this, and seize the
creature by the head, where the bristles
turn the other way. and cannot hurt.
The hedgehog is in winter the chief
food of the 'fisher-cat," and this in
turn is trapped for its fur. This small
quadruped is jet-black, with few
white hairs; is as large as large cat.
but is shaped like mink. having
short legs. The tishcr-cat and sable
--pronouced uniformly sap" climb
trees like cats in pursuit Of squirrels,
and will run from tree to tree as easily
as the game they hunt, though unable
to spring like them through the air.
Both of these species are active and
daring. venturing sometimes into the
hunters camps at night in search OF
food. The ordinary wildcat, or "bOb-
cat,r or '.lucivec' ('oup-cerrier) is also
found on Moosilaukc. but not the larger
'catamount," or that half-mythical
beast known among Maine rum Iermcn
as the "Indian devil" This bob-cat is
often as large TO the eye as Ncwfound-
land dog. but its fur is so deceptively
thick that it really does not weigh more
than thirty pounds. Merrill was elo-
quent about its shrek at night. "When
you hear it near you," he said, sit
makes every hair stand up straight. and
| you feel about as big as your finger.
| have heard it when it made me feel as
if my hat was two feet from my head.
1t is as much bigger than the house.

How . Nan stitches ON a Buttos.

He had never tried it before, but he
was naturally q self-reliant man, and
felt confident of his ability to do it.
Moreover, his wife had gone to the
country. Therefore, carefully selecting
from that lady's work-basket the
thickest needle and stoutest thread, he
resolutely set himself to the task.
Splitting upon his fingers, he carefully
rolled the end of the thread into a point.
and then, closing one Of his own
optics. he attempted to fill up the
needles solitary eye; but the thread
either passed by one side or the other
of the needle, or worked itself against
the glittering steel, and refused to be
persuaded. However. the thread sud-
denly bolted through the eye to the ex-
tent of an inch, and. fearing to lose this
advantage, he quickly drew the ends
together and united them with knot
about the size of buckshot. The but
ton was trouser one, but he liked the
dimensions Of its holes, and it was only
going on the back Of his shirt, anyhow.
AS he passed the needle gently upward
through the linen, he felt mingled
pity and disdain for men bungling
over such easy jobs; and as he let the
button gracefully glide down the thread
to its appointed place. he said to him
self that If ever he married a second
time it should be for some nObier reason
than dread OF sewing on has own
buttons. The first downward thrust
had the same happy result, aud holding
the button down firmly with his thumb,
he came up again with all that con-
fidence which uniform success inspires.
Perhaps the point of the needle did not
enter to the bone, but it seemed to him
that it did, and his comment upon the
circumstances was emphatic. But he
was very ingenious, and the next time
he would hold the button by one edge.
and come up through the hole nearest
the other. OF course he would. But
the needle had an independent way Of
suiting itself rs to holes. and it chose
the one where the thumb was. Then
the needle got sulky. II didn't care
about holes, anyhow, 1t It was going to
be abused for tinCing them, and the
button might have bcen an unper:orated
disc for all the apestures which that
needle could thencefOrward be made to
discover, without in.in.tc poxing and
prodding. Il always came through when
It was least expected. ami never when
II was wanted. Still he persevereI. and

Ancient Eonc.

THE Romans were keen. business
like men. who never pretcn led to be
above ira lc. even though they We're Of
superior rank or wea tn. 1t did not
cost much to keep man in the early
centuries, tbs yearly allowance for q
slave being thirty-seven dollars and .
half, while tree laborer lived for forty
four dollars year. Corn was the main
stay, l.t3cn million bushels being con-
sumed annually. and oil and honey
were used in large quantities. Among
the rich, epicurcs were more common
and more eextravagant than in the mode. n
world. Fortunes were spent on single
banquets. Men were absurdlQ swish
And yet everything was very cheap
even in this extravagant city. The
market reports show that lamb and fish
were only six cents per pound, beet four
cents, fish two cents, psir OF quail
thirty cents, eggs six cents per dozen,
wheat sixteen cents per peck. four
pounds of large grapes two cents;
chickens, per pair, tn rsy cents; i've TO
ten heads of lettuce two cents. TIE
Romano were not very fondof AMI meat
save pork, and this they consumed
sparinglv. Beef was not popaiar, being
used mostly for sacrifices. Game andsssb
wero favoritc articles, and many choice
imported fish brought large prices. The
common people could not afford many
