The Eagle and the Kite.

An eagle, ,whelmed with sorrow, sat upon the hrapches of tree in com pany W tn kite. " Why," asked the kite, "do see you with such rueful look? The eagle answered, "I elk mate suitable f,r me, and am notable tc find one." Take me-" responded tbe kite. " am much stronger than You. I have often carried of sn ostrich in my talons." The eagle, persuaded by the, e words, accepted the kite as mate. Af- ter the election, 90 to speak, was over, the eagle told the kite to fly of and bring back the ostrich it had promis d. The kite scared ploft and returned in time with miserable little mouse in an advanced state of decomposition frous - the length of time it hal lain on the ground. ''Is this" Said the eagle, "the faithful performance of your prom ise to me ?" The kite uublushinqly re- slonded: You must know that to &C., cumplish any object there is no lie will not tell" The only moral to this .bl, is that thepeople should not always send to the Leg slttnre the man who talks loudest with his mouth.- GGLveston Ners.

4 KentnckY Heroine of Early Days.

A well-authrntlcated incident of Ne'- son county, Ky, illustrates the chalac- ter of the early emigrants from old Virginia In 17S7,the cabin of one John Merrill was attacked ip the night by seven marauding savages. The barking of ia thiul dog gave notice to the oc ;u- pants that somebody WAS ming. Mer- ill opened the door to see what was the matter, when he fell s-verely wounded, teing shot through the shoulder and lower limb.. He called upon his wife to shut the door, but it was spec iily demoI- ished by the tomahawks of four Indians. Mr<. Merrill, being a woman of great courage and of hercul an strength, seized an ax and spatched all of them as they entered. Two mounted upon the cabin roof and were entering by way of the chimney. Quc% as thought Mrs. NJ ripped open her only feather-bed and empt.ed it's contents upon the fire. The blaz aud smoke of the burning feath- CTS so snffncated the invaders that they fell to he hearth, where she dispatched them with ihe a~.
