Fred's vines bore some punches OF
grapes the second year, and the gratis
which he set in the young trees 9ll did
well. His garden was a source OF great
pleasure to him, and he never tired OF
showing to his friends his thriving and
promising orchard. In a few years, he
had apples and pears, dherries and
plums, aprieotg and peaches, and differ

, Though Fred grew up and prospered
in other pursuits, bis. garden never lost
its attractions and pleasant memories,
and when, in after years, he revisited
the home of his boyhood, before taking
IN seat in the house, he had to take a
ramble through the garden, to look at
the trees which his own hands had

The Dog OF Niagara.

y IL has always been supposed that no
living being could be swept over Niagara
Falls and survive the terrible plunge.
The feat, however,, was successfully
performed by q dog q few days ago.
The name OF this able animal is IIn-
known, and it is only too probable that
he will be mentioned in history merely
as the Dog OF Niagara. " 'N
NJ He first attracted attention while he
was in the rapids. above the falls, and as
he, struggled with the current which
was swiftly sweeping him along, it was
supposed that he had only a few
moments to live. He twas seen to
plunge over the falls, and then, to the
amakement.o of those who had watched
his. descent, he emerged from the cloud
OF spray that rises at the foot of the
cataract and climbed upon a cake of
floating ices6e dliow Big htomalh bHE
"a The ws,that Q dog had gone over
the falls and was still alive spread
rapidly, and in a few moments the
bank of the river was ffned With people.
The dog floated down the river on his
cake OF ice but he had very little conf
dence in its seaworthy qualities, and
howled loudly for help. OF course no
one could help him, for IL would have
been impossible to reach him with a
boat and had q. rope been thrown to
| him as he passed under the Suspension
Bridge it is hardly probable that he
could have caught it.
Some distance below the bridge the
river forms q terrible whirlpool, and
when the dog and his cake OF ice reaeh-
ed the whirlpool they were carried
around at frightful speed. Presently
the cake of ice broke In two, and the
dog was thrown into the water. lie
struggled bravely for few moments
and then disappeared under the waves
and never rose again. .........
When il Is remembered that wher
the dog reached the foot of the falls
Q hundreds of tons of water mnst hav,
fallen upon him, and beaten him dowr
: toward the bottom of the river, it seem,
almost Incredible that he should hav,
been ableto rise'ito the surface and /,
reach his cake of ice. Had he escape,
the whirlpool and reached. the shore, h,
would have been the most famous
of Lying dogs.
He was az brave as he was enduring
for he never lost his presence of mind
!, and instead Of trying to reach the BAN
Of the river where the perpendicula
rocks would have given him no foot
hold, he saw that his only possibl
? chance was 10 float down the stream ol
a cake of ice until he should reach quie
water 1t is q pity that so brave a
: animal should have no tombstone, an
no name to be placed upon 1t. = Harper

THE passion PLAY' AGAIN.-We OBJ
serve that active preparations are again
making to give the Passion Play, in this
city. A hall has been secured, scene pain
ters are busy on drawings of Familiarity
sacred places in the Holy Land, carpenters
are hammering together cross, and, to put
it plainly, the projectors are seeking an ac-
tor whom they think fitted to play thea
trical engagement as Christ and depict with
desired effect His sufferings and death The
projectors Of this scheme attempted its full
! tilment here once before, but their proposal
to present in this city Il melodramatic bit of
realism founded on the ascent to Calvary
and the CruciiXion was met with storm
of public protest which enforced at the last
moment the abandonment of the proposed
''show," This time, it is asserted, they have
secured financial hackers who "are not to be
frightened Off" Popular sentiment as to
the show has been so fully expressed that
the play should not be given. The people
and the authorities have something to say in
this matter; there has been an almost unani-
nous protest against what is considered a
scandalous public use of subject held to be
sacred by large portion of the community,
and that protest should be enforced by the
authorities if it is not respected by the
