short stop u few rods from Charley
and ne took square look at the ami

seen almost every species of wild ami

They were puzzlers. Charley couldn't
classify them. He noted all their be-
cu'iarliles, and couple of old noun
taineers, after the description Charley
gave, pronounced them ibex. They
are the only ones that have ever been
seen N this section. They are quite
numerous on Salmon river.

What Killed Him.

Lawyers too often have a way O
making witness tell the truth so as
to kill it. But a wise presiding
magistrate may easily spoil theil
artifice if the opposing council does
not.
A few years ago, when Judge
Gould, of Troy, lately deceased, was
holding court in that city, prison
cr was being tried for willful mur-
der, in causing the death of man
by a pistol shot. An eminent ply
sician and surgeon, was on the
stand as a witness for the defense.
The prisoners counsel, an adroit
lawyer, attempted to show that the
man who had lived sometime after
being shot, might have died from
some other cause, and examined the
witness after this style:
Doctor, would not such thing
cause death ?"
sOh, yes, sir..''
"Well, doctor, might not this man
have died from such and such a
cause"
"Oh, yes, he might"
"This is quite sufficient for me, "
exclaimed the defendants counsel,
with an air of triumph twirling his
eyeglass-
Judge Gould turned in his seat,
bent his large, keen, penetrating
black eyes full on the witness, and
said, a little sharply:
doctor, you have told us what
might have caused this mans death; !;
what did cause his death ?"
"The bullet sirp' answered the
witness. That ended the case.

A WINTER NIGHT.
ny DAvIrD. HUDSON.

All without the snow is falling,
And the winter winds are calling,
Calling to the leafless tress.
All above the stars are hidden,
All the moonlight is forbidden,
Every gust by cold is ridden,
And the winding stream will freeze
Hear the shaken shutters rattle
Hear the bleat of s,orrn-beat cattle;
Hear the hollow chimney roar.
Cold and darkness both are beating
On the doorsill. and retreating-
Through the crevice, sending greeting :
Through the key hole OF the door.
Closer, wife, around the glowing
Crate, where warming airs are blowing
Warm as is the sun in June
Let us draw our little number,
Till our Growing boy shall slumber.
And our hearts from care uncumbcr,
To some old and sacred tune
God is good In His kind keeping,
While the sweeping winds are heal'ing
Chilly drifts of fallen snow,
We these safe, sweet hours are spending,
And our simple hymn upsending.
AZ his footstool lowly bending.
Wen ocr debts and wishes show.
Thankful for His constant giving.
For the Saviour-dead, yet living
For his mercy and His might.
Prayerful to be meek and holy,
fearful for the meek and lowly,
For the homeless, plodding slowly,
In the cold and snow tonight

A Brave Boy.

A brave boy who kept twenty In
dians at bay died of his wounds few
days ago. at Denver Col. Three
davs after the battle of White River,
in which the gallant Thornburg lost
his life, Freeman z. Wray. in charge
of cattle forty-fve miles north of
White River Agency, was attacked
by a band of savages. He contrived
to get his rifle and to make so good
defence that they betook them
selves to a ravine and besieged him
at their leisure. After a while he
got out of ammunition, and was
forced to climb into wagon TO get
new supply. While he was exc
cutting this movement bullet struck
him in the calf. Of the leg passing
directly through. In another in
stant ball caught him at the hip
and knocked him down. With a
whoop and a yell the savages ran
toward the spot, expecting to take
their plucky foeprisoner. But they
were again foiled. for Wray was
only down temporarily, and getting
his feet again, scrambled into the
wagon where lay his ammunition.
He pulled a sack of flour in front of
him and piled bag of beans on top
of that and took hold of such other
articles within reach as made for
him a barricade against the shower
of balls that was promised. Rapid
ly cutting hole in the canvass
wagon cover he saw the Indians ap-
preaching. Leveling his rifle he
fired at heformost pursuers without
the ball taking effect. Thist brew the
Indians into confusion, and they re-
treated to the walls of the ravine.
They threw a hailstorm of bullets
into the side of the wagon where the
plucky boy lay intrenched. One
of these leaden messenger struck
young Wray in the right eye, crash |
ing through his brain. The Indians
finally retreated. After aprotracted !
delay the boys wounds were dressed
and the balls extracted, and after
five months nursing he seemed to be
entirely well, although he had lost
the use of one eye. One of his
wounds broke out fresh eighteen
after the fight, and at last
caused his death. !

An Angels Visit.

A colored man named Bounty
Smith, living up on Antoine street,
was before the justice of the peace
yesterday forenoon charged with
larceny of fifty cents worth of wood
from a white man living mex: door.
The prosecution had a circumstan-
tial case. Some one was heard at
the wood pile in the night. There
were tracks in the snow leading
directly to the defendants house.
The defendant was in possession of
wood exactly like that missed from
the pile, and he admitted that he
had not purchased any wood this
fall. The defendant said he wished
to be sworn in his own evidence,
and after he had taken the stand he
began:
"He claims dis wood was tooken
away over Sunday night. Now, on
Sunday mawnin' I war tackled by
rheumatic an couldn't step until
Monday night. Dis right leg war
bent back so, and dis left one war
skrew out so dat my wife had to
feed me wild a spoon. War l in

"Well, long about dark de ole
woman said de last stick of wood
war gone, an we went to bed to
keep warm. Could / go out when |
war in bed ?"

membered dat we had no wood for

we could name whose methods in preaching have in this way changed. They have re- tained popularity, but by the arts which are of the world. Don't start of with popular ity in view. Don't aim at preaching sermons, but to gain men. Don't aim at admiration, but to save souls. Keep that aim before you and you will succeed.
 Gods Nemesis is swift and sure for those who neglect the object and aim of preaching Now what are the cures for these perils? Keep the object and aim of your ministry before your eyes There are plenty of men who can write religious essays infinitely bet ter than you can. The first great object of your preaching is to save souls and of edify- ing No matter how learned you may grow, remember there is a greater wisdom in sodl-saving. Then live near to Jesus Christ The speaker related a fine old legend connected with church in England, Christ church, illustrative of success in the ministry when the Master is with the man. So, young men, in building your church see that the Master is with you. The speaker then sug- gested that very necessary part of ministe- rial work was frequent contact with the needs of men. Visit the abodes of the lowly, the abodes of misery and woe. Touch the deep heart of man in his need, and have no fear of the work you may do. Never let Latin roots, however dry, dry up the sympa- thy of your being for man let no Greek, however grabbed, change the sweetness and tenderness of your heart, until it becomes fashioned like the alphabet itself. You will then soften human ills. You will, in words soothing and tender, calm the sorrowing spirit and you will save souls. They say in beautiful legend of the church that one day a monk whose business it was to do menial service, a scullion's work in the kitchen, was engaged in the devotions of his cell, and ssuddenly beheld the Lord A sweet light filled the chamber with the radiance of His presence. The monk bowed in worship, and the stranger sweetly smiled. Just then the bell rang that called the monk to his task. The monk hesitated. Shall I, he thought, remain and worship.? His heart beat loudly as he hesitated what to do. The bell rang again. Duty said come. He went to his toil to prepare food for the monks. Dinner ended, he returned to the cell, his head full of the vision he had seen. He saw again the Master before him. The Master smiled more sweetly than before. He had been silent before, but this time he spoke. Son, said he, hadst thou tarried had gone, but thou did'st go to to thy duty at the call of thy brother monks, and have waited to 1 bless thea.
 Don't despise the least or meanest work.
