THE FARMER'S WIFE.

The east is gray with flush of rose.
Birds are singing the world awake,
The farmers wife has no time to pause,
She has the early meal to make;
For well she knows on this summer day
Men are far too busy to wait
When they are ready to cart the hay
: And the wagons stand at the gate.
Oh! but the flowers in the garden are fair!
And OIL but the wind is cool and sweet!
She has her daily duty and care
To keep her busy, both hands and feet.
Perhaps for moment her heart does turn
To the shady wood and the ripping brook,
And the twelve o'clock dinner to cook.
Perhaps in the warm afternoon. once more
Something within did strongly plead
For the rockingham by the open door,
And pleasant paper to read;
But men are hungry among the hay;
Weary workers must still be fed:
She gets the -four and the kneadng-tray,
And she cheerfully makes the bread.
She is hot and tired, when sweet and still
The moon comes up like peaceful psalm;
She feels her heart to its beauty thrill,
She longs to sit in its holy calm;
But now the children must go to bed;
Who but a mother can hear their PRAYERS?
Their little torn coats wait needle and thread
Oh! these are the sweetest of all her cares.
She sits with smile on her weary face,
The toll OF the day is counted not;
Love gives to labor a tender grace,
Hurry and heat are quite forgot.
No need to pity the patient heart
Missing the pomu and pride of life,
For hers is a wOman's nOblest part
Honored Mother, and trusted Wife.

How to Cure Gossip.

A New York pastor has this advice to
give on the subject. 1t is certainly an
original plan:
Adopt this rule: Let all who come to
you with stories about mutual acquaint-
ances know that you intend, as soon as
your duties allow, to wait upon the par
ties spoken of disparagingly and repeat
just what was said, and who said it.
Still better, take out your memorandum
book, and ask the party to allow you to
copy the words, so that you can make
no mistake
But you ask: "Will it not be mean to
90 off and detail Conversations" Not
at all, when your interlocuter under
stands that he must not talk against an
absent person in your presence, without
expecting you to convey the words to
the absent person and the name of the
speaker. Moreover, what right has any
man or woman to approach you and
bind you to secrecy, and then poison
your mind against another? If there
be any difference in your obligations,
are you not bound more to the man who
is absent than the man who is present?
If you can thus help to kill gossip, it
will not matter if you lose a friend or
two; such friends as these, who talk
against others to you, are the very per.
sons to talk against you to them.
Try our rule. We know it to be good.
We use it. 1t is known in the church
of which we are pastor that if any one
speaks to us disparagingly of an
absent member we hold it our
duty to go to that absent men,
Der Immediately, and report the con-
versation and the names, or still
better, to make the party disparagine
face the party disparaged. We have
almost none of this to do. Amid the
many annoyances which necessarily
come to the pastor of a large church,
and still larger congregation, we think
that we are as free from the annoyance
of gossips as it is possible for man tc
be who lives among his fellow-men.
Try our rule; try it faithfully, with
meekness and charity, and if it does not
work well, let us know.-M. Y Erana-

very large bear cross the creek not far
from their camp, and that when il
climbed out of the stream on the other
side it limped as if it had bee2 injured,
A hunt was organized. but, although il
lasted three days, the bear was not
found. Two smaller ones were killed
near the head-waters of the creek, ono
of which killed the dog of hunter
named Haynes, and forced the hunter
himself to hand-to- hand fight before
it received its death wound. About
three weeks ago sheep, a pig and
calf belonging to residents of the settle
ment disappeared from the inclOsure,
and few days afterward some children
returning from school saw large bear
cross the road within quarter of a
mile of the school-house. They re-
ported that it was very large and only
had three legs. No doubt was felt that
the bear had made the inroads on the
pastures and pig-stiles of the settle
ment, but an extended hunt failed to
bring Bruin down, although his trail
was struck several times and followed
for miles. He exhibited more than the
usual cunning of his kind in escaping
from his pursuers. 1t was decided
finally, to give up hunting for him, and
to set nightly watch at the pastures,
in the hope that he might return for
more mutton or veal and be captured.
The watch was kept up without being
rewarded until last Sunday night.
William HAYNES, George Wing and
Harvey Strang were acting as sentinels
at the sheep pasture of the first-named
when, about ten O'Clock, huge dark
object was seen to mount the rail-fence
not more than a hundred feet away
from where they sat concealed behind
a clump of elders, and limp slowly
toward knoll on which a flock OF
sheep were feeding, 1t was evidently
the much-hunted cunning bear that had
ventured once more on fOraging eX.

but was on his feet in moment turned
and made back toward the spot where
he had entered the field at speed which
was remarkable if he had only the three
legs he was reputed to have. Wing and
Strang sprang over the fence, and made

lowed the bear, which scaled the fence
only to meet the other two men on the
other side. They both fired. and the
bear fell to the ground again. Once
more he regained his feet, and. finding
himself brought to bay, raised on his
launches and rushed at once upon
Wing and Strang. A ball from Haynes
rifle stopped the huge brute again, how.
ever, and he fell on the ground, unable
to rise. Another ball, which was sent
through his heart, ended his career.
The noise of the rifles gave the signal
to other watchers and to the entire set
Element, and every man, woman and
child had gathered around the PROSTATE
bear almost before he was dead. The
rejoicing was great. The bear had but
three paws, the right fore-paw being
gone. The stump had apparently been
healed q long time. The general be-
lief is the bear was the one which es.
capped from Ehrout's trap in 1879, and
which, after wandering about the coun-
try. had returned to his old haunts. The
carcass weighed over four hundred
pounds.-La Porte Cor. N. Y. Times.

A Fresh Romance.

Mr.. Thomas Evans, of Louisville, KY,
was formerly a photographer. In the
hopes of lettering his fortunes he went
to Arkansas on prospecting tour.
That was in the early part of 1882. 1t
will be remembered that last year a
series of most destructive floods oc.
Cured in Arkansas. Cities and villages
were invaded by the relentless element.
One night the rain came, and with
scores of others, Mr.. Evans awoke to
find himself in the grasp of the waters.
He was rescued by some adventurous
boatmen, but in such weak, uncon.
scious condition that for eight hours he
was believed to be dead.
He was taken to a hospital, where he
was seized with an illness which kept
him in his bed for twelve months, and
well-nigh proved fatal. When lie grad
ually recovered he found himself para
lyzed in the arm and hand so that he
could not write. The letters he die
| tated We're either miScarried or never
sent. so that the only intelligence he re-
ceived from home was a report of the
death of his wife. He recovered all but
the use of his hand after awhile. and
then it was months before he was able
to return to look up his children.
In the meantime it was reported here
that he was drowned in the flood, from
which. indeed, he so narrowly escaped.
Mrs. Evans refused for long time tc
believe what every one else accepted as
truth, until; as the weeks and months
rolled on, with no other tidings of either
good or i'll, she was at last forced to
conclude herself a widow The pros.
pect ahead of her was a dreary one.
A joyous surprise was, however. in
store for her. As she sat at her window
Thursday, near noon, looking out on
the street, her eye was caught by what
seemed familiar figure. Her heart
beat wildly. and looking closely, she
saw what seemed to be the ghost of her
husband hobbling along the street on
crutches and looking eagerly around
for the house to which he had been d.
rected. Had thunderbolt struck her
she could not have been more aston
ished, and. almost fainting. she sank
into a chair, deathly white and
trembling. Her little daughter, fright
ened at her mothers unnatural appear
ance, ran to her side, and in weak
voice was told to run down to the door
and meet her father The child went
to the window, and looking out, saw
her father approaching, but the crutches
deceived her, and, returning to her
mother, she said the man was not her
papa. BY this time, though, he had
reached the door, and in auoth.
er moment was in the arms of his wife.
The meeting was an affectionate one.
Husband ana wife were alike overjoyed
at the discovery of the cruel mistake
under which they had been laboring,
and the children were almost insane
with happiness. Louisville (Ky.) CoEr.

Long Suffering Bruin.

In the fall of 1879 Jacob Ehrout, a
hunter and trapper, set a trap for a
bear near a large swamp among the
logging camps of this county, and a
few miles from Gregg's settlement.
Bears were unusually plenty in the
woods that year, and one of immense
size had been seen several times in the
neighborhood of the swamp, but it had
eluded all efforts of hunters to capture
it. The trap mentioned was set for the
special purpose Of ensnaring this bear.
In setting bear-trap a triangular pen
is constructed out of small logs or sap
lings. In this Enclosure the trap, which
is a ponderous steel affair, with sharp
toothed Jaws, is set. From it chain
extends to the outside of the pen, and
is fastened to heavy piece of timber
The trap is placed so that if bear en-
tiers to secure the meat or honey which
is placed in the pen to attract him he
can not avoid stepping on the pan of
the trap, the jaws of which instantly
spring shut, sinking their teeth deep
in the flesh of the bears paw. The
bears efforts to escape with the trap is
prevented by the timber to which it is
chained, which becomes interlocked in
the trunks of trees and hold Bruin cap
tive. 1t happens once in great while
that the bear succeeds in dragging the
trap and timber for miles, but they so
retard his progress that the trapper
finds no difficulty in coming up with
him and ending his misery with rifle
ball. 1t is not an infrequent occurrence
for q bear to obtain its freedom by tear
ing off the imprisoned paw and leaving
it in the trap, and many old hunters
affirm that bears have been known to
deliberately gnaw off an imprisoned
paw and make their escape. This is
what the trapper Ehrout claims the
bear did which he set the trap for re-
ferred to above, for when he visited the
pen next morning he found the trap
on the outside, and fast between its
teeth the largest bear-paw he had ever
seen. 1t was one of the fore-paws.
The bear could be tracked by the blood
from its lacerated leg for a mile, where
it entered the swamp, which was so
dense that no man could enter. Dogs
were sent in. and from the fact that
some Of them never came out, while
others returned with torn flesh, it was
surmised that the bear had been over
taken by them, but could not be over
come. Nothing more was seen or heard
of the brute, and it was the opinion that
it had probably received injuries from
which it died.
Early in the present season a party of
Philadelphia gentlemen were trout-fish-
Ing in the vicinity of the settlement, and
one day they reported having seen .

The Alligator Fever.

1t beats all how Northern man does
banker to shoot an alligator just as soon
as he gets beyond the Ohio River, and
the further South he goes the stronger
grows the feeling. It's sort of ''buck
fever" and nothing will cure it except
the gore of the reptile. A chap from
Rhode Island went down to Biloxi from
New Orleans with the party. Small
alligators were plenty enough along the
creeks and bitches, and every time the
Clam State man saw one he almost
kicked his boots off. He tackled every
body around Biloxi for an alligator
hunt, and he finally paid darkey
three dollars to drive him to lake
four Or five miles away, where the
saurians were said to be numerous
enough to crowd each other out of
water. The boys had been over in the
morning and fixed things. A rope was
tied to either end of water-soaked log
and led into the bushes, and no sooner
had the 'hunter discovered movement
in the water than he opened fire.
''Dat's yer game, boss" said the
darkey, as he seated himself in the
shade, and the way that old log was
bombarded was caution. The man
made eye shots, and line shots, and dead
shots, and after he had fired about
twenty-five times he began to wonder
why his game didn't turn toes up.
'.Takes heap O. lead, boss. but you
is trubblin' him mighty bad" encour-
aged the darkey, and the bombardment
was renewed with a determination to
die in the last ditch. Pretty soon
man broke from the bushes to the left,
and in voice of authority called out:

an offense punished by fine of not less
than ten dollars"
