A Thrilling Adventure.

At the mouth of Beaver creek, on
the Missouri river, lives a family by the
name of Filson. There are several
sons, and they are all noted Us being
very powerful men and very fond of
hunting. One day while Daniel Boone,
the eldest, was out cutting hay in the
field he heard his dogs give tongue a
few hundred yards distant, and procur-
ing his gun he followed the direction
of the sound until finally he discovered
them baying something in clump of
bushes on knoll only few feet dis
tant from the river bank. Regardless
of danger, he rushed up to the river
bank to reconnoiter, but he had scarce
ly time to discover anything when out
sprang a huge bear, rose on his
launches. and jumped for an attack.
Mr.. Filson had just time to bring his
gun half way to his shoulder, when it
was discharged without taking aim.
By singular coincidence Mr.. Filson's
brother-in-law had heard the barking
of the dogs, too, and was Fastening to
the scene, and only few rods distant.
| as the bear sprang out of the bushes.
Having his gun loaded with heavy shot,
he fired at the bear at close quarters,
hitting him, but also shot Mr.. Filson
in several places. The next Mr.. Fill
son knew he found himself buried in
sand-bar, all except a portion of his
face around the eyes, with the bear
standing directly over him and growl-
ing savagely at his brother-in-law, who
was preparing for another shot. His
brother-in-law fired, and the bear
sprang in the direction of the shot, but
as he did SO his hind paws, which were
resting on Mr.. Filson's legs, were
brought down with such quickness and
strength that they tore the flesh from
the bones in shreds. Before the bear
could reach the brother-in-law he fell
mortally wounded; but Mr.. Filson lay
for six months in precarious con-
dition, and has never fully recovered
from the injuries received. In relating
the circumstance he stated that when
that bear stood on him it seemed that
he weighed fully as much as big ele-
phant, and for whole year afterward
he felt as if he had almost been crushed
to pieces, ----------s&---~ -

Unruled Ambition.

An enthusiastic artist, desiring to
paint a storm on the sea, pushed his
boat far out on the deep, and when
last seen was painting the very wave
which engulfed him. That this man
was fool is self-eyident. The means
he employed defeated the end he
sought He sacrificed his life to
passion which, if properly restrained.
would have been innocent and even
praiseworthy, but which, being inordi-
nate, destroyed him.
Does our judgment condemn this
painter? If it does, it illustrates its
own soundness. But does it not at the
same time censure multitude of living
menP What is this painter but a typi-
cal man, Illustrating the folly of thous-
ands who have surrendered themselves
to the control of an inordinate ambi-
tion to be rich, or to be pre-eminent in
society, or in political or in ecclesiasti-
cal life?~> What other Interpretation
than that such surrender has been
made by vast numbers can one give
to those illegitimate methods which
have taken possession of the great
marts of trade, which so largely char
acterize our political elections, and
which in some small degree manifest
themselves in ecclesiastical circles?
Ambition in church or State, when
curbed by Christian principles, may be
innocent and even praiseworthy; but
when it exalts itself into a ruling pas

and humanity and seeks money, honor.

Chinese Politics.

The Chinese have peculiar theory
that the proper duration OF q dynasty
should not exceed one hundred years
"a term which the reigning family has
already greatly overstepped. Beside
this singular superstition, the Chinese
have another deeply-rooted idea that
the line of descent has not been pre-
served intact by the reigning dynasty.
A court intrigue, supposed to have oc-
Cured during the reign of Yang Ching,
the successor of Kang Hi, is said to have
occasioned the rumor, which nowadays
stition and national antipathy have part
tho Ia Using dynasty, SO that now it is
not little difficult to define the real
position of the people with regard to
their present sovereign. China is over
run with secret organizations whose
real aim is the abolition of the Tartars
and installation of Chinese monarch,
verSus ac nleaus. The famous White
Lily sect of the northern and central
provinces, as well as the Triad society
of the southern states, have one and
the same object in view. The rGtso's
G'etre of Chinese secret organizations
was originally not so much of politi-
cal as of theosophic or Masonic char
acter. Men formed leagues together
for the purpose of practicing certain
forms and modes of worship, as well as
upholding certain doctrines which were
at variance with the recognized creeds
of China. At present, these early te-
nets have been lost sight of. and Chi
nese secret societies hold only to the
old formulas of initiation and craft, In
order to conceal their true political
character. They boast numbers of
members throughout the length and
breadth of the empire, and are con-
stant source of anxiety and worriment
to the Peking authorities. The Tapping
rebellion itself, as we'll as many others
of less Importance, was the outcome OF
the White Lily sect; the riots at Canton
and the widespread tradition along the
Yang-tze, were due to the schemes OF
the Triardists. No wonder then that
thirty thousand troops are constantly
employed about the capital, or that the
viceroy of Canton has to maintain his
thousands of Tartar soldiers. - Hokohd-

One Storm---Two Voices.

Wa sat by the open mid-winter's fire,
Where the flames shot up through the beech
en- pyre;
And no ono was there save he and 1
AS the storm rushed on with its double cry.
The lamps were low, and our shadows crept
Up where the pictured faces slept.
Whose silken tassels rocked o'erhead.
Stirred on their holds by the winds bold
tread.
While the bare black tree with it's touch of ice
Played on the roof like maddened dice,
And the tempest broke DER the slippery
strands
OF the morning caves with their frozen
bands.
He heard the voice of battle-kings.
With their steely crash, and their trumpet
heard the sighs of a tender past
In the mirrored keys of the flying blast.
He heard the hoofs of the fiery steeds
That secured the plains to valiant deeds;
j heard the eroans of the riders pale
AS they fell unhorsed in the rushing gale.
He heard the martial music's strum,
With its braying horns and its icy drum;
in the moan of the plaintive fife,
Heard sighs of Death, that ends the strife.
Then the wind swept Off DER the shadowy
And left in its wake the half-frozen rain,
That voiced forth the songs-the harsh and
the sweet
AS it dashed on our window its wing of sleet
He heard the song of ribald rhyme
That rose DER the clash of the ice in wine;
heard the fall of woman's tears
In the drip, drip drip of the caves iced
spears.
He heard the thrill of gay woman's laugh
AS it trilled DER the wine-cup's blOod-red
Quaff;
heard the moan of children at home
In unmatched sleep, at midnight alone.
He heard the patter of light-dancing feet;
]. cOffin-nails In the hareh-pounding sleet,
His cheek glowed, and mine grew pale,
AS we told each the voice that spoke in the
gale.

What a Little Squirrel Can Do.

A man from Providence recently re-
ceived from Underhill, VT, fine gray
squirrel. As the family were ON the
point of going away for few hours.
the box was hastily set in the hall. He
soon got out of his prison, however,
and going into the sitting-room he
amused himself by jumping from pict-
ure to brackets, one picture being turn
ed over and partly gnawed to pieces,
and the brackets swept of their adorn-
ments and scattered promiscuously.
He next turned his attention to the
window sash, which he stuck to just
long enough to make it an eyesore.
Leaving the sitting-room he strayed
into the dining-room, where he found
nothing worthy of his notice but q
bunch of catkins. to which he paid due
attention, when he wandered to the
sleeping-room, where he must have
reveled for some time. A camphor
bottle was thrown to the floor,
large cologne bottle was thrown down,
and pictures and ornaments left in wild
confusion, and the window-sash was
gnawed to such an extent that it will
have to be replaced by "a new one. He
finally left that room and took stroll
as far as the closet, where he managed
to break towel bracket and complete
ly ruin rubber gas pipe, when he was
disturbed by the lady of the house,
who, on entering, was startled by a
strong odor of camphor and cologne.
A hunt resulted in the discovery of the
squirrels nose and fore feet protruding
out of a coffee-pot. An attempt to
capture him proved sorry task, and,
finally, to save intact what he had not
already ruined. he was ''bagged'' in
proper condition for the taxidermist,
and now from stump he quietly sur
veys the scene of his recent frolic.-

''what shame! and how sorry 1 am!
But what a sight you are! And as she
took the sleeping baby and tenderly
placed it in the carriage, she was glad
of the excuse to turn away her laugh
ing face. But Jack Willard knew all
the time that she was laughing, and no
wonder. AS she had. said, he was a
''sight." His delicate new gloves were
torn in a dozen places; his coat and
shirtbosom were deluged with milk and
smeared with bread and butter; his col
lar was limp, his cravat united, and
his hair was standing on end.
''Oh, Mr.. Willard. I'm afraid you'll
never forgive me! Indeed, am SO
sorry" she continued addressing Jack.
''Oh, pray don't mention it. I've
had most interesting time" with 3
dreary attempt at gaiety. "But you'll
excuse me if hurry away now. l feel
little disheveled, and l must get home
d-ah-change my coat, you see."
And picking up his glossy hat he crush
ed it on his head, and fled.
In time Jack and Mrs. Linton met
again, but the gentleman's ardor had
cooled; and Mrs. Linton who had never
suspected his matrimonial intentions,
was not enlightened; for on no future
occasion did Jack ever speak his little
piece, so carefully rehearsed on that
disastrous morning.

Sunshine and Human Health.

For some considerable time past the
astronomer royal and his assistants
have been weekly reporting the signifi-
cant fact that the recorded sunshine
during the seven days has been, upon
the average, NIL. Prima facie it is only
photographers who need be affected by
this intelligence. What can it possibly
matter to the world at large if there is
not sunshine enough about to discolor
a pit of sensitivized paperP AS mat
ter of fact. however, the discolorization
of sensitivized paper is but one of the
many processes due to the chemical en-
ergy of the sunlight. And prolonged
absence of sunlight is very serious
matter. Its effects upon the health are
direct and perceptible. We get no
ozone, and we become dull and listless
as if we had been sitting up all night.
When thus out of tone and below par,
we are consequently deficient in that
vital energy which would otherwise en-
able us to shake off any ordinary all
ment. Nor Is this all. Absence of
sunlight for any considerable period is
almost invariably followed by epidemic
outbreaks. When the sun is active,
filth of all kinds putreties as it collects.
w men UneT0 Is no SUNSHINE lllJn COlLeCJS,
accumulates in masses, and ferments.
These fermented accumulations are
source of positive danger as soon as
the sun resumes its activity. Decom-
position under a bright sun is compar-
atively harmless. Slow decomposition
in the dark is especially hostile to
health. We need no chemist to tell us
this; but, at the same time, it is as we'll
to bear the chemistry of common life
in mind. When the astronomer royal
reports total absence of sunshine we
ought to be especially careful, and, it
may be added, children suffer more
from the suns rays than do adults.
Adults have only to keep alive; chill
dren have to keep alive and grow,
which entails a double amount of chem-
ical work. Now, if there be no sum
shine, we can best supplement its ab.
sence by exercise. And yet, strange
enough, the absence of sunshine is re-
garded by most mothers as sufficient
ground for keeping children within
doors. 1t is, on the contrary the rea-
son why they should be sent out and
kept out as much as possible. e.-London

Struggling with the Hello Box,

The other day very distinguished
Senator, who thinks he has the right OF
way to the White House, walked up to
the Senate telephone and conducted
the following colloquy:
''Halloo, central office" (The Sena-
tors say "Halloo!' the Representatives
only say ''HellorO
The central Office responded.
Call the Office of the Commissioner
of Patents for Senator Blank"
Then there was long pause. The
Patent Office at last answered. The
Senator shouted at the top of his lungs,
and with his nose fattened against the
hello box, evidently thinking that the
louder he bawled the better the wire
would transmit the message. The GEN.
tral Office kept cutting in on him, and
he couldn't make them understand.
At last he squared off and shouted
straight into the box with a voice like
fog horn:
..I've got 'em. Don't you UNDER
stand? Itell you I've got 'em."
"Yes, and got 'em bad, too" sarcas-
tically responded the central office.
The Senator, with a very red face,
continued his conversation with the
Commissioner of Patents. Washington
