Israel Putnam.

+. l.. Hale in Wide Awake
The truth j. that Putnam was by no means
a great man. If ever anybody was unfit 10
be q Major General il was he. But he was "a
thoroughly courageous man, and he had the
good luck to have his story told by Hum
phreys at a time when the people of this
country were wild for heroes and stories of
heroes. No story suffered in Humphreys
-as the boys and girls will guess who live
near Horse Neck, and who have seen the ter
rible picture of Putman's ride in Mr.. Los
sings book in which he bounds on horseback
down the hill there.

the VOLTS Den, and needed 10 rope round
my waist To- pull me out. But whether j
should have gone i'm were wolf at
the other end, | am not sure. More
than this, when the wolf was there, it was
winter, and the rocks were covered with ice,
and were exceedingly slippery" IL told
the whole story a. Colonel Humphreys tells
il it would take up all this paper. But here
is the critical passage:
Cautiously proceeding onward, he came to
the ascent; WEIGH he slowly mounted ON his
hands and knees until he discovered the
glaring eyebals of the wolf, who was sitting
the sight of fire, she CRASHED her teeth. and
gave a sullen growl. As soon as lie had made
the necessary discovery, he kicked the rope
as a signal for pulling him out. The peo-
pie ut the mouth of the den, who had listen
ed with painful anxiety, hearing the growl-
ing Of the wolf, and supposing their friend
10 lie in the most imminent danger, drew
him forth with such CELEBRITY that his shirt
was stripped over his head and his skin Sc
vercly lacerated. After he had adjusted his

For purpose wise which God did see,

And took from me the soul again:
For when from me that soul had fed

After all, let men boast as much as they
please, and women complain as mach, there
is one immense advantage in the position OF
women-that they can create a home for
themselves uuaided. as men can not. How
independent seems the life of young I'M
married man compared TO that OF young
woman, How the sister usually envies the
brother! But by silent compensation in
nature, as years advance. the balance changes
and if they are left alone i'm the world, it is
the brother who has reason to envy the sis
Hyperion, sis a splendid breakfast fiat
dinner, and q most miserable supper" A
single man may have an estate, Ia principality:
he can own a great hotel and fill it with
guests, but he can not create a home without
a woman to help him, and that, too, wo-
man whose service is not for money. When
il comes to home, there is not solitary
dressmaker in the land, esconced in her one
little room with her geraniums, her canary,
and her sewing-machine, who can not COM
pletely eclipse him, this being the result not
of his sins. but of his sex
Undoubtedly each reader will think, or try
to think, of some exception TO all this--some
single man who is happy, some Jolly bach

there are those who can be happy, especially
during the first half of life, without the sense
of home. A, with his wealth and his paint

The Butterflies.

Look at the butteriiesl PurpOseleSs things
How idly they float on their yoSsamer wings,
Over the pOppies and over the grass,
Light as the down Of a thistle they pass.
Where are they going, and why are they here
In the heat Of the day and the noon of the year
They fiutter awhile in the brightness and then
They are gone from our sight and they come not
again.
And we've are wearied with fever and frost,
Whatever we do, il must be AZ a cost;
We hear. as we journey, the dropping of tears:
Ne bear on our foreheads the stamp of the
years.
But look at the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. things
Before us anC over flashing their WINGS
Ii may be the Maker who fashioned them thus,
Has sent the gay creatures on errands To us.
Perhaps we go slowly. when we should be swift
To follow the scent of the roses, that drift
Their pink snow about Us; more oft we might
play.
And yet finish tasks by the end of the day.
oh. bleSt are the eyes that are clear to behold
The wonderful glow of the butterflies gold,
With leisure to follow their flight they pass
- gracefully. silently, over the grass.

"a sad sight-a very sad sight, was the
remark of am elderly gentleman who stood
just inside of st. Thomas Church yesterday
morning when the two collins containing the
bodies of James H. Rutter and his wife were
borne i'm and placed in front of the chancel
Yet, why sad? There is always mournful-
ness about death. although it is the irrevoca-
BILE doom of all who live. But is there not
something touchingly beautiful in the
thought that those who have gone through a
long life as husband wife preserve their union
in death, and are borne TO the grave as they
left the altar-side by side?
