THE BEAR WALKED AWAY.

An Irishman of Montana was
working a placer mine, a few miles
FROM Bear Gulch, and visited that
place one, day to get his tools shar-
pened. Just as he was about to start
back, SOME ohe told him that if he
would 60 homie by the way Of Sour
Krout GulGh he would hot miss lis
way, and would save several miles of
walking. H
Pat started out, but after travelling
several miles the sun was almost
down and at last he made up his
mind.tha he was lost and, to ouse his
own words, feared he''wonll be rob
bed and murthered intirely all alone"
While he was in this state Of mind
he spied acinnamon bear on the side
of the mountain, and was almost rea-
dy to fall to the ground with fright.
Recovering his self possession little,

Il thought it wouldn't do tole the
bear think I was afraid of him, and
concluded | might intimidate him
by making him think that there were
several of me. So, walking a little

could, mike, Oh say, Mike, hold on

told of q long time ago Western

whether bust was good or bad,
invariable deducted from the receipts
his own salary. As an actor he
charged himself with u leading mans
salary, and never failed in getting it.
One salary day there was a great
row, there was no money for the

echoed the query. n

salary as the leading man. He must

as a leading man, they damned hi;

lUNFORGOTTEN.
BY EMMA ALICE BROWN.

If I could have wish tonight
If | could have my souls desire,
How swift would wing her eager fight
Beyond you utmost peaks of fire,
That bar the sunsets fading light;
Far as yon wandering tides that lave
The Sowly sinking evening star,
Ger rolling leagues of waste and wave
My yearning soul would seek afar
Her lone, sierra-cradled grave !
Far off the fitful sea-winds Groom
Their shrill and gusty monotone,
Like some vague fragment Of tune
Heard in the waste dead night alone
Beneath melancholy moon.
And set to some sad minor key
Wherein all sorrow seems to bide-
Faint thro' the darkness comes to ME
The long wild washing of the tide,
And murmur Of the restless sea.
The ivy rattles at the pane,
And ceases; and my ear tlivines
The stealthy footballs of the rain
The sitilant whispers of the pines,
That lnterlude their old refrain,
OH Haunting sorrow, that out-lites
The vears-and will not rest Or cease
The many summoned-aloe thrives
In her still dust and all is peace
For her-=whose name alone survives!
Sweet is her sleep; and all regret,
All grefs and pain for her is past:
| know this well; and yet-and yet
Who time and tears, for me, shall
last
Hearts dearest, cannot forget

A man who will deliberately sheet
or poison himself at the Niagra Falls
has little idea Of what constitutes
dramatic exit from this world. With
miles Of precipices, two suspension
bridges and the falls themselves to
leap from, lie has not much enter

let. 1T seems almost an April fool on
the general public for man at Nia-
gra Falls to shoot himself, Il HAM

The whole village assembled, and
while the engineers were making
their examinations, while the authro-
tiles were lost in conjecture, each in
habitant sought but in vain, in his
memory, for some means of ascertain
ing who the young man was; but all
was in yain.. ,.
Margaret / cried a young woman
and with a tone which spoke aston
ishment, at the sight of good old
dame who was coming up with
painful effort towards the immense
crowd which was anxiously waiting
for an explanation of this mystery
Make room 9N:Margaretl" cried
many, OF the'ycu1g people at the same
time, ... .'.l.
The good old woman made all haste
to reach the groupe where the au-
tEorities and the master were collec-
ted 81.
She paid no attention whatever to
the crowd around her, and scarcely
thanked those who stood aside for her
to pass. Her countenance, ordinrry
pale, assumed an mwonted color;
her eyes, sparkled, and it was very
plain that something unaccustomed
was agitating her,
Suddenly she pushed aside, with a
violent and convulsive motion, the
master, who was before her. She
throws herself down and falls upon
her knees before The dead body: she
did not shudder
"Pete!!'' she cried, and with her
hands, weak and emaciated by age,
she fondlcd the face of the corpse be-
fore her.
She pushed aside the moist locks,
and fondly kissed that forhead which
sixty years ugo was buried In the
bowels Of the cold earth, and which
had it not been for its untimely
burial, would now have been wrink-
led and defaced by age.
''Tis Peter, she cried again, it is
the friend of MY childhood; and tears
which seemed to be excited by Joy
and grief, in turn bathed her withered
check. II waited for you, she cried
All! | knew should not die without
seeing you again, without embracing
you for the last time
The bystarders endeavorcl to tear
her away, to separate her from such
a horrible spectacle, but one on which
she was feasting with pleasure which
soon exhausted her strength; but it
was in vain. She clings to the body
Of Peter, she clasps him in her weak
arms, she wishes to die upon the heart
that no longer beats, but which once
beat for her alone. So many mys-
teries were then explained. Poor
Peter! He had wished to surprise his
bride, and without doubt had hidden
the presents which he int, ndcd for
her, not far from the spot where he
usually labored. How horrible must
his long agony have been How
terrible punishment |.
He went back in his thoughts tc
the midst of the merriment which
was to honor of himself, be thought
Of his dismayed bride, of his father
af his mother. But he was destined
to see them no more; his last groar
was unheard by them; he was stiAet
smothered, and whole mountain lay
over him.
Margaret had said truly: II vii
wait fory return She was una
bic to survive the violent emotion:
which the discovery of Pete cost her
She 6reathed her last with the name
of Peter on her lips; but when sh'
made her vow, little did she thinl
that her nuptial bed would be th,
cold coffin boards, and that her lov
cr's hand would not be clasped i,
hers till she had closed her eyes for

A RUSSIAN TRkRE1Y.

The wife of a skilled artisan named
Schmid, Of Samara, Russia, was
brought to bed Of a child while her
husband, who had spent all his wa
gas for many previous weeks in liquors
was away from his home on a drum
ken frolic Two days after her con-
finoment Schmid staggered in and be-
gan to shout, with horrible threat
and curses, for his dinner. There
having been neither food nor money
i'll the house since he had left it, the
unfortunate woman had had no
nourishmcnt for herself or her babe
since it's birth, and the latter had
died of exhaustation bnt few min
utes before its father made his ap-
pearance. TO Scmid's brutal menan-
ces his miserable wife made no an
swer. She rose from her pallet, wan
and eiuaciated, crept across the room
to the dresser, took thence large
dish, which she caaried back to the
bed, and, placing the babys corpse in
the dish, set it down on the table be-
fore her husband, with the simple but
awful works: There isnothing else
to eat in the house, Schmid sat
gazing with u CLASSY stare at his
dead child for some time. Presently
a neighbor camel in and spoke to him
but he uttered no word and made no
sign. Upon closer examination he
was found to have entirely lost his
reason, and he was converted to Il

hopeless lunatic. '.......

TIE Miners BRIDE,
A THRILLING FRENCH SKETCH.

"A man!-.-death!--a miracle!
--an apparition!' Such were the
words, the EXPLANATIONS, which es-
capped from their mouths, which were
cold through fear and horribly dis
tortcd,
Soon, however, the master was able
to collect a few words, to form an
Ineligible sentence of the explana-,
tions dictated by fear.
While engaged in opening a COM
munication between the new mines
and the ancient ones, the workmen
had discovered stratum less than
amy they had ever before met with.
Stones and earth were not its only in
gradients, but the foreign substances,
which they found in great abundance,
seemed to indicate that in time gone
by, an immense sinking had suddenly
happened in that place.
The work was not difficult. A mi
ner loosencd large masses ofcarth and
stones by single blow Of his pick
All of IL sudden, a very large miss
which had nothing to support it, slid
down, gas escaped from the aperture
which it left, it took fire, and while it
was burning, what was the astonish-
ment of the miners to see descending
ty its light young man to appear
ances asleep ol.
His brow is smooth, his cheeks
fresh, even retaining the color of life;
but his eyes, his mouth is motionless.
Instead of going to him, of endeavor-
ing to recognize his features, of aid
ing him, for perhaps be has need of
aid; oyerseers and miners all fly with
utmost precipitation from his unex-
pected apparation, Fear, in the short
distance they have to pass through
| to meet their comrades, supplied
their imagination with enough for Il
tale.
It's no longer man, it Ia an in
fernal spirit, who has come to show
himself to them, in the midst Of light
ming and thunder. 1t is that divin-
ity who has his home in the mines
and who often appear to interrupt
the miners in their labor. His form
is colossal. They saw him move, rise
up, stretch out his powerful arm. II
must be that he is now walking
through the gloomy chambers of tn,
mine, threatening to burn the props
of the new vaults, to destroy every
thing, to bury all. ~
The master listened carefully t.
the exaggerated recitals of the terri
fed workmen, but remained calm. H,
cast glance around him. The mi
ners have all come up from the mine
the eyes Of all are fixed upon him, all
with looks of terror, seem to wait 70
him to decide, to give comman,
for action. y.
TO the mineI he cried, after speak
ing few words in an undertone t.
his friends and the engineers abou
him, and then descended with th
rest.
The truth was soon known, all
broad day light disclosed the caus
Of their terror. They brought ou
of the mine aud laid upon the groun
The cold and damp body of a youn
man.
His dress indicated other times
other fashions. 1t was neat, and
was easy to believe that he was array
ed for q oliday. A Golfer was burie
near him; 1t was opened and wa
} found to contain some jewels, a go
den cross, a chain, and d tnedallio
upon which n cipher was engraved
: but time had probably injured tbes
} pledges of love, intended perhaps fc
some adorcd mistress.
