An Exciting Hunt in the Gallinas
Mountains, Lincoln Co., N. h.

1 AL GAC1klhH 401h 40 NAN
Mountains, Lincoln Co., N. ID.
Messrs. Keegan and Hart, hav-
ing heard that bears were plentiful
in the north end of the mountains,
mounted two frey untamed burros
yesterday, and armed to the teeth,
resolved to beard the bear in his
den.
The writer directed them to a
spring, known as the Ojo Leon,
and assured them hat ifthey went
there they would certainly have
their wish fully gratified.
On the way thither, a fine buck
fell to the rifle OF Keegan which
they speedily dressed, and pack
ing the C on one of the bron-
co quadrupeds, proceeded up the
canon to the spring.
Arrived there, the hunters were
in the act of shaking their parched
thirst, when Keegan spied Il huge
cinnamon bear tearing down the
slide on the slope above, at a break
neck pace, and direct to the place
where he was standing. He grasp
ed the situation in an instant, drop.
ped his rife, sprang towards a
friendly juniper, which stood near.
with an affectionate embrace he
leaped to the first branch, with the
agility Of an acrobat. Another
bound he would be out Of danger.
He could see bruiR rapidly ap-
preaching him, (any other kind OF
brewing, we can imagine, would
have been preferred at that critical
moment.) He could hear the fran
tic cries of his companion, who was
making a fine "go as you please"
record down the canon. Oh, hor-
riblc suspense !! What terrible
thoughts must have been whirling
before his excited vision, and the
last trip to White Oaks, the awk-
ward mistake at Hockradles, etc.
when horror upon horrors, the
branch on which his lite seemed
to hang, snapped in twain, and he
tell laundering to the ground.
The bear now for the first time
grasped the situation and percciv-
ing how matters stood, or rather
lay, concluded he didn't want to
visit his favorite watering place,
just then, so in an instant wheeling
to the right about, was soon scam
pering up the mountain.
To quote Keegan's words, "this
was the happiest moment of my
life, when | knew that the bear had
changed his mind" He now seized
his trusty rifle and wildly fired two
shots at the fast retreating bear,
but they were so wide of the mark
that some incredulous people be
lieve that a hit never was intend.
ed.
As he wiped the Precipitation
from his brow, while slowly wend.
ing his way to camp, he was heard
terverently to exclaim, 81 don't
want any more bears in mine"

THE SEA KINGS GRAVE.

High over the wild border, on the farthest
downs to the West
Is the green grave mound of the Norseman, with
the yew tree grove on its crest,
And i heard in the winds his story, as they leapt
up salt from the wave,
And tore at the creaking branches that grew from
the sea king grave,
Some of the Old World Vikings, the wild sea-
wandering lords,
Who sailed in a snake proved galley, with terror
of twenty swords.
From the fiords OF the sunless winter, they came
an icy blast,
Till over the whole worlds seaboard the shadow
of Odin passed,
Till they sped to the inland waters, and under the
Southland skies,
And stared the puny princes, with their blue
victorious eyes.
And they said he was old and royal and warrior
all his days,
But the king who had slain his brother lived yet
in the island ways
And lie came from hundred battles, and died i'll
his last wild quest
For he said Il will have my vengeance, and then
will take my rest
He had passed on his homeward journey, and the
king of the isles was dead
He had drunken the draught of triumph, and his
cup the isle kings head;
And he spoke of the song and teastlng, and the
gladness of things to be,
And three days over the water they rowed on
waveleSs sea,
Till cloud rose in the shoreward, and gust
broke out of the cloud,
And a spray beat over the rowers, and the lnurmur
of winds were loud,
With the voice of the far-of thunder till the shud
dering air grew warm,
And the day was dark ever, and the wild god
rode on the storm. esss
But the old man laughed in the thunder as he set
his caSque on his brow,
And he waved his sword in the lightnings, and
clung to the painted prov.
And the shot of the storm gods qulver flashed out
from the flame flushed skies,
Rang down on his war-worn harness and CLEANED
in his fiery eyes,
And his mail and mis- crested helmet, and his hair
and his beard burned red
And they said, 1t is Odin calls and he fell and
they found him dead
So here, i'll his guise armored, they laid him
down to his rest,
In his casque with the reindeer antlers, and the
long gray beard on his breast;
His bier was the spoil of the islands, with sail for
shroud beneath,
And an oar of his blood-red galley, and his battle
brand in the sheath;
And they buried his bow beside him, and planted
the grove of yew,
For the grave of mighty archer. tree for each
of his crew;
Where the fowerless cliffs sheerest, where the
sea birds circle and swarm,
And the rocks at with the waters with
their jagged gray teeth in the storm;
And the huge Atlantic billows sweep ln and the
mists inclose
The hill with the grass-grown mound where the
Norseman's yew tree grows.

SlurS on Women.

At recent dinner in this city, at which
no ladies were present, a man, in responding
to the toast, "Woman," dwelt almost solely
on the frailty of the sex, claiming that the
best among them were little better than the
worst the chief difference being In their
surroundings.
At the conclusion of his speech gentle
man present rose to his feet, and said:
Il trust the gentleman, in the application
of his remarks, refers to his own mother and
sisters, and not to ours"
The effect of this most Just and timely re-
buke was overwhelming; the maligner of
woman was covered with confusion and
shame.
This incident serves an excellent purpose
in prefacing a few words on this subject.
Of all the evils prevalent among men, we
know of none more blighting in it's moral
effects than the tendency to speak sighting
ly of women. Nor is there anything in
which young men are so thoroughly mis-
taken as in the low estimate they form of
the integrity of women-not their own
mothers and sisters, thank God, but of 9TH
ers, who, they forget, are somebody else's
mothers and sisters.
Plain words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is general one, and deep
rooted. If young men are sometimes thrown
into the society of thoughtless or bad
women, they have no more right to measure
all other women by what they see of these
than they would have to estimate the char
acter of honest and respectable citizens by
the development of crime in our police
courts.
Let young men remember that their chief
happiness in lite depends upon their faith in
woman. No worldly wisdom, no misan-
thropic philosophy, no generalization can
cover or weaken this fundamental truth. 1t
stands like a record of God himself-for it is
nothing less than this-and should put an
everlasting seal upon lips that are wont to
speak slightingly of women.

tire truth, that all work in the National
Park has been suspended. This action is
probably in consequence of the trouble ex-

A ROUMANIAN BALLAD.

Over the mountain, bathed in the dew,
Is standing little cottage new,
With windows that face the rising sun,
And door that leads toward the valley down.
In il was held meeting gay
OF all the girls of the village one day,
And they sung and they spun,
And they langhed-all but one
The hostess young daughter;
From her came no laughter
As from every other.
Then thus spake her mother:
Little daughter what fails thee?
What is it that ais thee?
Art thou sick little daughter,
Or is it heart pain?'
Said her daughter, Refrain,
Little mother, seek not to know why
| am sad lest curse in reply.
For loves pain have proved;
| had once one beloved.
He was tall, little mother,
Fairer than any other,
His eyebrows black as a raven wing,
In an arch long drawn as is a ring,
Skin soft as silk white as the froth OF milk,
His eyes were like the dark wild plum,
His hair was like ripe corn IN the sum-
Securely my beloved slept,
Safe my beloved kept
From the suns strorg rays,
From the wind of wintry days
And sent my love
To the fair of Brachov
To buy for me linen,
Fine thread for my spinning,
And rich clothes to wear,
Gold beads for my hair.
Thence he sent with message, my mother,
With a message the moon in the night,
That was to be his step-mother;
Then / sent to him in reply
The sun, for said that he should
Go wed whomsoever he would.
With the leaf of the hazel-nut tree
He sent his answer to me,
That should his step-mother be;
Little mother, but dear little mOtner.
Can marry him to another, .
Or shall curse him, shall curse him, my mother?
BE not mad, little daughter, go be
His step-mother, as he tells thee;
And you, Gypsy, Gypsy,
Bring my carriage to me,
For am the grand step-mother.'
But mother, oh mother, say how
Shall speak and what name call him now:
My beloved, my step-son,
My hearts love, my cherished one.
And her, o my mother, what word
Shall give her, what name?"
My step-daughter, abhored,
The whole worlds shame"
Then, my mother what shall take hlm!
What gift shall make him."
"A handkerchief fine, little daughter,
Bread of white wheat, for thy loved one TO eat,
And glass of wine, my daughter"
And what take her, little mother,
What gift shall make herr"
"A kerchief of thorns, little daughter
A loaf of black bread for her whom he wed,
And a cup of poison, my daughter"

A IittlA Mistake.

A piano tuner called at house on
Euclid avenue and quietly placed his
hat ON the hall stand before proceeding
to his work
The housemaid being busy with her
weekly sweeping had previously re-
moved all small articles from the hall,
and her mistress passing through OBJ
served the solitary article an object SO
dear to every masculine heart Think
inc it the garden hat of her husband,
she placed it in an adjoining closet.
Presently the man, having finished tun-
inc the piano, started to leave, but, be-
inc unable to find his hat, meekly asked
the maid to assist him in looking for it.
They searched both the hall and parlor,
but all in vain, until the lady, whose at
tention had been drawn by the commo-
ton, also joined in the search.
At last she said she could lend him y
hat, and proceeding to the closet pro-
duced the one she had placed there a
short time before, apologizing for its
shabby appearance by saying it was u
very old one, used by her husband when
working mornings in the garden. The
tuner took the hat and after carefully
examining it said it looked very much
like his hat, and that he was quite sure
it was the one he had placed in the hall
upon his arrival, Ii suddenly dawned
on the lady's mind how the mistake was
made. but she still wonders how two
hats could so exactly resemble each 9th
