Heroic Lizzie.

This is u true story of Il little girl in
England; she lived in Il cottage, and
was poJr, but rich in thoughtful aIlec-
tiOn, generous courage and pure, true
life. Youwill think 50 when You have
read what she did.
One day Il baby.brothcr came To the
cottage home, and Il Joyous, loving wei
come Lizzie gave him. 1t was not long
before she began to help her mother
take care Of him. She had been con-
stant in going 10 school, and by her
good conduct and faithful study pleased
her teacher and won her affection, and
her 8rhUO.mates loved hcr for her gem
tie kindness and pleasant ways. But
after Il time she was often absent, and
when questioned about this she would
answer:
81 couldn't be spared, ma'mn; | had
TO mind my baby"
Though tooyoung to bear his weight,
she tended him while her mother cooked
and scwcd. Her little arms carried
him on sunny holidays into the pleas
ant woods; and sitting on the grass,
where they could hear the brooks mlr-
mur and birds song, she would gather
wild flowers and weave bright wreaths
for the happy baby, while angels look
| ing down on the innocent children, saw
the blossoms Of kind deeds and gentle
words twining the spirit-crown she
should one day wear Dearly the ba-
by loved her. His laugh rang out loud
est when She played with him. When
his bread and milk were ready in his
little blue porringer, he would put his
spoon in his sisters hand to feed him,
opening his rosy, hungry mouth like a
young bird. And when the evening
shadows gathered, her arms cradled the
tired baby, and her voice, in loves
sweet lullabieS, sOOthed him to sleep.
One day Il report reached the school
carrying pain and terror to the hearts
of teacher aud children -"Lizzie's fall.
en- in the fire"
AS soon rs she could, the teacher
went to see her. The poor child was
lying in her little bed, dreadfully
burned. She was asleep when the lady
entered, and the mother, her voice bro
ken by sobS, tried to tell the painful
story. Just how it happened the lady
did not understand, for she would not
closely question the poor mother; but
this she gathered-that Lizzie slipped
with the baby in her arms, and, with Q
presence of mind that only unseliisl
love could give, threw him from her up
on the bed, or into some safe place.
Here the little girl, in her sleep, threw
up her arms, saying, "Take him, take
him" She awokc, and, recognizing hel
friend, smiled in welcome. The lady
asked her tenderly how she was.
"pm sick she answered, family
I'm going, but"-and the wan face
lighted up with happy, triumphant
expression, look such as an ange
might wear, as she added-"but, ma'am
| saved my baby"
Brave, generous Lizzie! Angels CONT
very near to little children on earth
and find II deep delight in guarding
them from evil and helping them to dt
right; and no doubt that dear baby, a.
long as he lives, will have an angel
guardian in his loving sister. Her la
test earthly act was one of love to hin
ii love that in her heavenly home vii
grow more pure and strong.

Sunth'' Companion.
The story of the life of great men is
inspiring. Emerson says that books
are designed "to inspire" and no books
can 50 stir the reader TO noble endeavOr
as biographical.
Live, Of great men all remind us,
We can make our life sublime"
Biography is also instructive. 1t is
instructive not merely in regard to the
man himself, but also in respect to all
in which he was interested. Reading
q life Of Napoleon one learns not only
about ,hr great emperor, but also about
methods of warfare and of diplomacy.
RpNinr "A life of Livingstone, one
learns much about \frica; its climate,
productions and tribes, Reading STAN
lry'a ARNOLD one gels clear idea not
only Of the great schOol'teacher at
Rugby, hut also Of English schools,
nDyS. games and character.
But the reading of Biographies is at
tended with periIs. The biographer is
usually Il puloglst. lie praises the yir-
tues, and with Il light touch passes over
the defects. of his subjects. With this
tendency the reader IS liable to sympa-
thi2p; ha is inclined, as is the writer,
tI ldrali2a the statesman whom he is
studying But the reader ought to be
as sharp.sjghted to see faults and as
T. ady to condemn them, as he is to
praise cXcellencies.
All ed to this peril of eulogy is the
danger Of accepting the opinions OF the
hiographer as conclusive and prec sely
right. His opinions are formed from
certain fucts. The reader should study
to discover if other opinions may not
also be based upon these same facts.
The biosrapher adopts certain theories
to explain certain acts. The reader
should endeavor to learn if other theo-
ries are not equally reasonable. One
biographer makes Napoleon's divorce an
act of noble sclf-sacrilice for the well
fare of France; another, the ambition
of faithless husband and selfish ruler
to establish his family on the French
throne. Which is the true theory
One biographer judges that the 9TH OF
March speech of Mr.. Webster was an
attempt at the Cancellation of the North
and the South in order to gain the pres
idency: another is convinced that il
was the expression of his firm belief
founded on thorough study of The
constitution. Which suppoSition is The
more reasonable?
To avoid these two perils of eulog,
and of accepting the opinions of The
writer as exactly right, one should reat
with his mind active and reflective.

In one of Gen. Wcaver's speeches he

occasioned by the exceptions of the
law, was $6i,00O,0O0, and you paid in

from total expenditures of the year,
and it will leave you $434, 100000 as
the necessary expenses. for that year
over and above the taxes you paid.

out $7l4,0O0,000, but you paid Sl4, ,O00,-
900 Of it in interest, and you lost by
discount on your paper money $l7S,-

100000 as the necessary expense for
that year over and above the taxes

600, and it would give you 1882, 100000
of legal tender money at the end OF
the second year of the war, expenses
all paid and no bonds. In 1864 you
paid out $900,000,000 but you paid $751;
100000 OF it in interest unnecessarily,
and you lost by discount on your mon
ey that year $5l9,000,000, for in 1864
your money was only worth thirty-hve
cents on the dollar as compared with
gold, and you paid taxes for that yeal
1864, 100000. Deduct these items
from the total expenses of the year
and it shows a necessary expense OF
only $27,000,0o0 over and above the
taxes you paid. Issue legal tenders fol
that amount and add it TO the $685.

CATION and solution of this mystery are
not impossible; but as yet no one hay
ing both means and willingness to
prosecute the matter has been found.
| do not for a moment believe a volca-
no is there; but that something exists
which for many years has balled the
curious cannot be doubted. 1t seems
that 10 one having any scientific
knowledge has ever directed his atten-
tion to the subject of this phenomenon.
The idea of a volcano in a swamp is
treated as absurd, and the column of
smoke is dismissed as mere smoke and
nothing more. do not think the mat
ter ought longer to rest without inves-
tigation. 1t may be mirage, it may be
burning peat-moss, it may be gas
spout on fire; but whatever it is ought
to be known. This is Il region of mys-
teries. Lake Jackson has no visible
outlet, though strong streams run into
it. There are deep natural wells in the
earth, across the bottoms of which run
rapid currents Of water. Others are
fathomlcss. The Wakulla spring gives
forth spring navigable for large boats,
and the pool is so clear that the bot
tom may be seen at depth, it is said,
Of one hundred and eighty feet. Lost
river pours into cavern and disap-
pears, but gushes out again several
miles away. Some wells twenty miles
distant from the Gulf have brackish
water and rise and fall with the tides.
In places the subterranean water cur
rents may he tracked by the tree
growth on the ground above them,
Rumbling noises are often heard at
night, in the fiat woods of WaEullI
county, coming from beneath the
earth's surface. All these things, con-
nected with the fact that the smoke
column frequently looks white like
steam, may support the theory that
Wakulla volcano is geyser or water

There was joy on the farm when
Ben, the oldest boy, came back from

THE WELL.

Dark and cool the water lies
In the old time-honored well;
Down deep the bucket flies,
And how often, who can tell?
For the SchOOlbOy, hot with play,
For the labOrer tired with toll,
For the traveller on his way,
Doth the tireless rope uncOil.
And how often, who can tell?
Or, who first the gracious draught
Drew up from the bOunteous well?
Or, who sunk the ancient shaft?
They are dust, who slaked their thirst
At the little silver fOunt
In the wild woods, where it first
Called the huntsman to dismOunt;
They are dust, the pioneers,
Who the strong armed forest broke,
Where the old well now appears,
Where now curls the village smoke.
SO shall we within the vale
With our children'S children dwell,
But the waters ne'er shall fail
IN the old time hOnOred well.

pecadence Of the Digger indians,

California letter 10 Chicago Tribune
"Therc is still something pathetic
in the history of the Digger race" sud
my friend "In the days of Kit Carson
and other famous scouts they swarmed
through every valley in the state; and,
even down to the time of the pioneers
of 40, they thrcnged the streets of the
frontier towns, and their rancherias
were 50 denscly populated that the bar
est neCessaries Of life were with diff.
Guilty obtained But during the last
twenty years they have disappeared
more rapidly than ever before; and, be-
fore many more years have passed, not
vestige of this once powerful race
will remain. What is the cause of this
decline? you ask. Undoubtedly it has
been war, pestilence, and the contact OF
civilization. In early days tile differ
ent tribes were fighting increasingly
among themselves, while the Ameri-
cans and MeXicans aided largely in de-
creasiDg the number of their common
enemy. In Trinity county thirty years
ago a party of whites surrounded a
rancheria, and during a night whole
tribe was destroyed. Similar butcher
les have occurred in other parts of the
state. Not long since | read, in Meme
tees History of Sonoma County, about
the ravages Of the cholera among the
Indians in 1888. In one rancheria in
the Sacramento Valley more than three
hundred died within the space of four
days. One little girl alone escaped the
frightful disease, and when she was
rescued the ground was literally GOV.
cred with the bodies of her dead com.
panions.
"The contact of civilization has been
more potent in the extinction of the
Diggers than pestilence or the sword
The game is no longer abundant in the
mountains, and there is a scarcity OF
fish in the interior streams; and with
out fish and game the Indians are put
to all sorts of shifts to keep body and
soul together. When they are hungry
it matters little what sort of food is Of
fered, for they will eat anything whicl
is digestible. Their bread is made gen
orally from acorns, or the kernels Of
the pine nut and buckeye; and worms
and edible roots are their meat and veg
etables. Grasshoppers are one of theil
favorite dishes, while snakes are sale
to be eaten with relish, Between
the two evils, starvation and work
there is not much difference in the av
erage Digger's mind, and in escaping
both the grand end Of existence is OBJ
tained,"
