They Are Not Strangers. Mamma.

Not long ago 1 stood by tho death
bed OF little girl. From her birth
she had been afraid of death. Every
fiber of her body and soul recoiled from
the thought of it. Don't let me die,
she said, don't let me de. Hold me
fast. Oh, can't 60" Jenny" / said,
~you have two little brothers in the
other world, and thousands Of tender
hearted people over there who will love
YOU and take care of you" But she cried
out again despairingly, Don't let me
90: they are strangers over there" She
was little country girl, strong-limbed,
fleet of foot, tanned in the face; she
was raised on the frontier; the fields
were her home. In vain we tried TO
reconcile her to the death that was in
eyitable. Hold me fast" she cried,
adon't let me 60" But even as she was
pleading her little hands relaxed their
clingipg hold from my waist and lifted
themselves eagerly aloft; lifted them
selves with such training effort that they
lifted the wasted little body from its
reclining position among the pillows.
Her face was turned upward; but it
was her eyes that told the story. They

Hunting a Wolf on Snow Shoes.

Here is an occurrence that took place
In the highest part of Norway: A
Finn, who was herder TO large num-
Der of reindeer, had lost some of his
masters deer by the attacks of big
wolf, which one day caught one belong
ing to himself. The deer taken by the
wolf was the best one belonging to this
man-his pride and joy, so he swore
that the wolf should pay for it with his
life, and, knowing that it would soon
come back for another meal, he kept on
the watch with gun, accompanied by
another deer-herder, both in their usual
skin dresses and on snow-skates.
The wolf duly came and the hunt
commenced, at first over plain, where
the animal gained little ground, then
up hill a little, so that it had still
greater advantages; but as the descent
commenced the Finn gained, his COM
panion being not quite so quick. I'm
fortunately, the descent was not long
enough for the shepherd to get near
enough to shoot, and long plain lay
before them, so he threw his skin cloak
away, and was thus oble to increase his
speed; but, as he still felt that the wolf
had chance of escaping, he also
dropped his rifle, knowing that his COM
panion would pick it up.
This enabled him to get nearer to the
thief, and, as the ground again began
to be ON the descent, he was sure of his
prey. In the middle of the falling
ground he overlook the wolf, and, while
passing it, lifted his staff and gave it
such heavy stroke on the back that the
animal at once fell exhausted, and was
dispatched with his dagger. The story
is quite true, and shows what skill in
snow-skate running is possessed by the.
Firms, and how little they fear single
wolf

A Clowns AnecdOte.

II recollect on one occasion, in q
town down in Alabama, we had great
crowd in to see the afternoon perform
ance, mostly negroes. L had. gone to
the hotel, and was lying down in my
room before tea, when colored boy
employed in the place called me, and
said there was a lady in the hall who
was very anxious to see me. L put on
my coat and went out. You can inn
agine my surprise when found waiting
for me great, fat negro woman from
away back on some of the plantations.
This is the gentleman said the
boy, presenting her to me.
"She never said word, but stood
looking at me in perfect amazement
Her eyes seemed to grow larger and
larger as she placed her arms akimbo,
and stared at me. The position became
q little monotonous, and l said, DO
you want to see me?'
mo, sab! L never axed 'em fur to
see you. want to see de clown. Lo'd
bless you'ah soul, honey, he done bust
me all up; deedy he did. l JUS KEEP

so she went away terribly dissatisfied
that she had not closely seen the animal
that had amused her with his capers in
the ring. "-Clereldnd Leader.

refer Cooper was born in the city of
new York, Feb. IL. 1871, and died
there on the 9th of April, 1883. His
family were distinguished for their un-
wavering devotion to the cause of
American independence His father
was Lieutenant in the patriot army,
ana ms maternal grandfather sacrificed
= large fortune in the cause of free
oom. UP to his seventeenth year, Peter
ioiiowed the various avocations of his
iather- halter, brewer, brick maker
and again brewer-which he carried on
III Peekskill, Catskill, Brooklyn and
Newburg, N. Y. During his apprentices
snip to the coach-making business,
winch lasted four years, from
his 18th to his DIST year, he in
vented a mortising machine, which was
OF much pecuniary benefit to his master,
out none to himself. Without capital,
he went to work making machines for
shearing cloth, for which he was paid
Sl.5O day for three years. At the end
OF that time he had saved enough
money to buy the right of the State of
New York for manufacturing the ma
chimes, and embarked in business on his
own account. He was successful, and
aided his father and, as he naively said,
In consequence of this my father new
er had the modification of failing in
business. The same is true of my own
affairs. So far as ever having failed in
business, do not remember the week
or month when every man who worked
for me did not get his pay when it was
due. The wool-shearing machine
business became valueless when the
war OF 1872 commenced. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that the
principle Of these machines was pre-
cisely the same as the one now used so
largely in reapers and moving machines.
At the termination of the machine
business Mr.. Cooper bought twenty
years lease of two houses and six lots
of ground, where the Bible House
now stands, opposite the Cooper Insti
tute. He erected some wooden build
ings, and carried on the grocery bust
ness for three years. Soon after he
purchased a glue factory, between
Thirty first and Thirty-fourth streets,
which he carried on for twenty-one
years, and then removed the business
to Brooklyn, where it is continued at
the present time.
In 1898 Mr. Cooper purchased a
large lot of land in and about the city
of Baltimore, Md, and established the
Canton Iron Works. Here he built, in
1880, after his own designs, a loco
motive engine which would turn the
short and frequent curves in the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. 1t saved that
road from bankruptcy and opened up
new era in railroading. After success
fully disposing of the Canton works,
Mr.. Cooper erected rolling and wire
mill on Third avenue, New York. He
sold these out, aud at Trenton, n. j.,
erected what was at that time the largest
rolling mill in this country for the man
ufacture of railroad iron. Here the
first iron beams were rolled, now so
much used in fre-proof buildings. The
experiment was made at an expense of
$4,000, and was attempted while the
Cooper Institute was being built, it be-
ing the intention of the founder to
make the building completely fire

A School on the Pacihc Slope.

The school was in rough boarded
room which had been originally
built for store. The hats, bonnets,
books and states were piled on the
shelves, and the thirty children sat on
high benches, their feet swinging clear
of the floor. There was not robust or
healthy-faced child in the room, and
their thin, pale cheeks were n sad com
mentary on the condition of their lives.
Later in the day, as ] walked from
home to home, and saw everywhere
slow-trickling streams of filthy water,
blue, iridescent and foul-ordored, l
wondered not that the children were
pale, but that they were alive. The
history class was reciting a memorized
list of "epochs" when / went in. They
had them at their tongues ends.
suggested to the teacher to ask them
what the word epoch" meant. Blank
dismay spread over their faces. One
girl alone made answer. She was an
Indian, or perhaps half-hreed, II years
of age the healthiest child and best
scholar in the school. the teacher said.
"The time between" was her prompt
definition of the word epoch, given with
a twinkle in her eye of evident amuse-
ment that the rest did not know what it
meant. The first class in reading then
read from the Fourth Independent
Reader, in stentorian voices, Trow-
bridges poem of THE Wonderful Sack I"
The effect of slight changes of a single
letter here and there was most ludi-
crously illustrated by one sturdy little
chaps delivery of the lines:
His limbs were strong,
His beard was long.
With loud and enthusiastic emphasis he
read them:
His lambs were strong,
His bread was long.
Not a member of the class changed
countenance or gave any sign of disa-
greeing with his Interpretation of the
text; and the teacher, being engaged in
herculean efforts to keep the poor little
primary bench still, failed to hear the
lines.-"H. H., IN atlantic Monthly.
