Captain sSayne Reid.
rC& Nr.olzr1


Of Captain Mayne Reid's boyhood we hear
little, except that his father. Presbyterian
minister, designed him also for the pulpit,
The clerical profession was not to his taste,
and at the age of twenty he left his tutors
and his tasks, to cross the sea.
Landing in New Orleans, he began a career
of adventure in the wilds of America. He
made two excursions up the Red River, and
ascending the Missouri, explored the vast
prairies which the wave of civilization had
not then reached. He afterward travelled
extensively in the States, writing descrip-
tons OF his journeys for the newspaper
press.
He was thus employed when, in 1s45, war
between the United States and Mexico broke
out, and young Reid threw himself ardently
into the struggle volunteer. He greatly
distinguished himself by his bravery at the
storming of Chapultepec, where he received
a painful wound, from the effects of which he
even now frequently suffers.
The War over, Captain Reid resigned his
commissOn. But the spirit of adventure was
reused in him again when the Hungarian
struggle for freedom enlisted the sympathies
of liberty loving people everywhere; and in
1S49 he organized, in New York, a body of
men join it. He had arrived in Paris, OIL his
way to Hungary, when news reached him of
the failure of the instruction.
Reid then retired to England and settled
down to literary work, and there in his home
be lives the life of a quiet country gentle
man, devoting himself to literature and rura
pursuits.

The Long Sleep or Some Creatures.



All animals have their time for sleeping
We sleep at night; so do most of the insects
and birds. But there are some little crea-
lures that take such very long sleepsl When
they are all through their summer work they
crawl into winter-quarters. There they stay
until the cold weather is over. Large num-
bers of frogs, bats and flies, aud spiders do
this. If they were only to sleep for the
night, the blood would keep moving in their
veins, and they would breathe. But in this
winter sleep they do not appear to breathe,
or the blood to move. Yet they are alive,
only in such dead Sleep" But wait until
the spring-time. The warm sun will wake
them all up again. They come out one by
one from their hiding places. have told
you that this sleep lasts all winter. But it
often lasts longer than that Frogs have
been known to sleep several yearsl When
they were brought into the warm air thy
came to life and hoped about as lively as
ever. i have read of toad that was found
in the middle OF tree, fast asleep. No one
knew how he came there The tree had
kept on growing until there were over sixty
rings in the trunk. AS tree adds ring
every year, the poor creature had been there
all that timel What do you think of that for
a long sleep? And yet he woke up all right,
md acted just like any other toad!

With good trade, under such circum-

an exhaustless reserve fund to draw from.
Not only learn the theory of a trade but learn
its practical worth. and learn it thoroughly.
