Not a Nice Place to Live In.

Oshima, one of the largest OF
the islands between the south coast
of Japan and the east coast OF
Formosa, has lately been visited and
partially described by DR.. Il. Doder-
lein. It is subject to prolonged and
violent typhoons. Besides what appear
to be the aborigines, it is inhabited by
the more robust and better proper
toned Japanese. The former have
narrow face and pointed chin. Their
eyes are large, their lips thin, and the
bridge OF tho nose convex. All the
body is protected with thick hair like
that which distinguishes the Amos
The language is sort Of Japanese dia-
lect. EXCEPT some veneration paid to
departed relative, the author could
not find that they had any religion.
Although the populations so, 900, there
is not priest or temple on the island.
The plague OF the island is snake
called "habu." 1t is amphibious, pur-
suing cells in the streams and climbing
trees to strike its prey on land with
equal facility. Death is inevitable
from its stroke unless the part affected
be instantly cut out or the limb itself
amputated. Villages have been aban-
doned where the habu prevails. The
faunna OF the island is Loocho in char
acter generally. No other traveller
from tho West has hitherto described
Oshima.

The True Wife,

Oitentimes have seen tall ship glide
by against the tide as il drawn by some
invisible bow. line, with hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sails un-
filed, her steamers were dropping,
she had neither side-wheel nor stern
wheel; still she moved on stately, in
serene triumph as with her own life.
But / knew that on the other side OF
the ship that swan SO maiestically,
there was a little toilsome steam-tug,
with heart of fire and arms Of iron, that
was Juggling it bravely on; and I knew
that if the little steam-tug untwined
her arm, and left the ship, 1t would
wallow and roll about and drift hither
and thither, and go off with the re-
fluent tide, no man knows whittier.
And 80 / have known more than one
genius, high-decked. full-freighted,
idle sailed, gay-pennoned, but that for
the bare, toiling arms, and brave,
warm beating heart of the faithful little
wife that nestles close to him, 30 that
no wind or wave could part them, he
would have gone down with the stream.
and have been heard Of no more

The Little Shepherd Dog.

The best Of these dogs ale worth
S20O or even more. One herder, whom
We met at Gold Spring ranch, showed
us very pretty one that he said he
would not sell for $500. She had at
that time four young puppies. The
night We arrived we visited his camp.
and were greatly interested in the little
mother and her nursing babies. Amid
those wild, vast mountains, this little
nest of motherly devotion and baby
trust was very beautiful.
While we were exclaiming the as
sistant herder came to say that there
were more than twenty sheep missing.
Two male dogs, both larger than the
little mother, were standing about with
their hands in their breaches, doing
nothing. But the herder said neither
Tom nor Dick would find them. Flora
mnst 60. 1t was urged by the assistant
that her foot was sore, she had been
hard at work all day, and was nearly
worn out, and must suckle her puppies.
The boss insisted that she must 20.
The sun was setting. There was no
time to lose. Flora was called, and
told to hunt for lost sheep, while her
master pointed to q great forest,
through the edge of which they had
passed en- their way up. She raised
her head, but seemed very 10th to leave
her babies. Tho boss called sharply to
her.. She rose, looked tired and low
spirited, with head and tail down, and
trotted YEARLY off toward the forest.
I said:
"This is too bad"
"Oh, she'll be right back. She's
lightning on stray sheep"
The next morning l went over to
learn whether Flora had found the
strays. While we were speaking the
sheep were returning, driven by little
dog, who did not raise her head nor
wag her tail, even when spoken to, but
crawled to her puppies and lay down by
them, offering the little empty breasts.
She had been out all night, and while
her hungry babies were tugging away,
fell asleep. l have never seen anything
so touching. So far as was concerned
"there was not dry eye in the house."
How often that scene comes back to
me-the vast, gloomy forest, and that
little creature, with sore foot and her
heart crying for her babies, limping
and creeping about in the wild caverns
and through the long, dark hours, find
ing and gathering in the lost sheepl
l wonder If any preacher of the geo
pei ever searched for lost sheep under
circumstances 30 hard and with such
painful sacrifices? But, then, we must
not expect too much from men. It is
the dog that stands for fidelity and
sacrifice. The best part OF man is the
dog that is in him.-Dio Le,eis.
