The Bear Didn't care

Old Ephraim Pierce was, years
ago, one of best known steamboat
engineers in the South. He was
what the boys called a dry old fel-
low, never smiled in public and never
laughed except when he was alone.
On one occasion, while his boat was
lying at q warf in Cincinnati, a
gawky country boy, carrying a car
pet-bag, came down to the boat and
told Pierce that he wanted to "larn
how ter be er ingineer. The old
man, kind-hearted and sympathetic,
had not the courage to tell the young
fellow that he had better seek better
employment, but with one of his
grim tales sought to discourage him.
"My dear boy" said he, "we would
like the best in the world to have a
new man, but, to tell you the truth.
our runs are thickly beset with dam
ger. We run mostly on the Arkan-
saw river is full of bears. They swim
out and commit all sorts of depre-
dations. Some time ago, while we
were running along a bear swan out,
caught hold of the bow of the boat,
swung himself up and got on deck.
He did not stop, but buckety, buck
ETY., buckety, he walked back toward
the boilers. l got out of the way,
but my partner was not so lucky.
The bear seized him. My partner
was as good a soul as ever lived, but
the bear grabbed him and jumped
into the river. Yes, sir, as good a
soul as everl lived, but the bear didn't
care a DAMN"
The young man took up his car
pet-bag and climed the hill.

GROWING OLD.

What is it to grow old ?
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the eye?
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath
Yes but not this alone.
Is it to feel our strength
Not our bloom only, but our strength
decay?
Is it to feel each limb
Grow sitter, every function less exact,
Each nerve more loosely strung?
Yes, this, and more but not,
All tits not what in youth we dreamed
'twould be!
'Tis not to have our life
Mellowed and softened as with sunset
glow,
A golden days decline.
'ris not to sec the world
AS from height, with rapt, prophetic
eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred
And weep and feel the fullness of the
past,
The years that are no more.
1t is to spend long days
And not once feel that we were ever
young
Is it to add, immured
In the hot prison of the present, month
To month with weary pain?
1t is to suffer this,
And feel but hall, and feebly, what we
feel.
Deep in our hidden heart
Testers the dull remembrance of q change
But no emotion-none.
1t is-last stage of all
When we are frozen up within, and
quite
The phantom of ourselves,
To hear the world applaud the hollow
ghost,
Which blamed the living man.

Hen and Snake.
A SPIRITED BATTLE TWO NATURAL
ENEMIES.

A member of the New York Ca
noe Club, on cruise, padded up to
old "Unc' Rufe" Thompson's cabin,
in the low ground about two miles
below Port Richmond, Staten Is
land, on Saturday and asked for
drink of water. Uncle Rufe un-
twisted his rheumatic legs from the
rounds of a rickety chair, craned his
perspiring black neck around the
jamb of the front door, and shouted:
You 'Rindyaun~
"I'se heah, Rufe," returned a big,
fat, able-bodied voice in the interior
of the cabin.
"Bring de gem a drink of wattah
in de clancy mug"
"Heah yo is, sah-fne day, sab" "
The drink of water, the china mug
and old Aunt Lorinda Ann Thomp-
son came to the door together. Aunt
Lorinda stood in the doorway long
enough to say that she was Fright
pooly" and then went back to her
dishes, leaving Uncle Rufe and his
visitor to discuss the eel-fshing at
their ease.
AT the end of half an hour a great
commotion arose among the chick
ems at the south end of the cabin.
"You, Rufe |" shouted Lorinda Ann,
with startling force, "see what's the
matter with dem var fowls"
The old man hobbled off toward
the creek, his visitor strolling indo-
lently after him.
Hi, dar, 'BindyW bawled Uncle
Rufe as he came in sight of the
chickens. Oars big wattah-snake

A TRAMP'S REVENGE.
lcoNTINUED FROM LAST WEEK. /

AL, can you keep a secret?"
"Then lend me your shotgun"
said Gil, and, with the request, he
added an account of his exploit on the
road and the differences between
himself and the squire.
Cant go to the house, you see, AL,
but I'm bound to know ifthat rascal
is loafng around there"
I'd 60 with you in a moment if l
could get away" almost shouted the
landlord. "Gun? Yes two on EN-, if
you want. l wish my wife wasn't
sick. 1t won't do for you to arrest
him alone, and without any warrant,
but try for chance to fill him full
of buckchot.
Al's notion of law may have been
somewhat original, but his meaning
was full ofpublic spirit.
1t was somewhat dark when Gill
bert Morse began to retrace, one foot
the road he had so recently driven
over, for the moon was not yet over
the hills, but he felt all the better
for having the double barreled duck
gun over his shoulder.
"Better than a pistol for night
work." he said to himself.
He did not keep the road up to
the homestead, but made a detour
through the woods and came out
beyond, not far from the saw mill.
Better go ON toward the main
road, he muttered; 'it's early yet,
and he's likely to come in from that
direction"
"Hullo!"he exclaimed, a moment
later, as he stood among the shelter
ing shadows of clump of trees.
"three of 'cm? The big fellows the
same one. They're making straight
for the saw mill. Bent on mischief,
not a doubt of it,"
There was no earthly reason for
any doubt.
The big tramp had met his two
associates returning from an expedi-
ton somewhat more successful than
his own, and they had promptly
agreed with him that the circum-
stances called for the infliction of the
extreme penalties known to the laws
of their guild.
That is, in short, fire, and as much
plunder as possible.
1t was already getting well into
the evening, and rural retiring hours
are notoriously early.
Not that slumber was likely to
come very promptly to the Van
Vleeck family that night though the
squire had calmed down a good deal
and unusually silent.
Mrs. VanNleeck had kept very
close to her daughter all the evening
and had taken the preoaution tC
bring the two dogs, both large ones
into the house.
The dogs and the family might bC
the safer, but how about tramps?
The big ruffan, as has been said
was not without some traces of ,
vicious intellect, and was quite com
petent to be the leader of a littl
affair like that.
"Set the saw mill first" he said
All the men folks'll start for it to pu
it out. Then the barns, to call away
the rest, and we kin work the hous
quick and get to the woods and owe
the hills as safe as so many foxes" ="
So they could, indeed, if no mil
hap come in to interfere. The hous
folks must be in bed now.
The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-08-07

when, few months later, at the trial
of the captured tramp, he was asked,
care you in any manner connected
with Squire Van Vleeck?"he man
fully responded:
"He is my father-in-law."
But nothing more was seen of the
big tramp, not relic of him, until
they rebuiltthe great barn the follow
ing spring.

The French Princes.

The French Radicals have made
another effort to compass the expulsion
of the Orleans princes, and this time
they will probably succeed. The Cabi'
net is reported to be IN favor of il by 4
majority of one, and the Chamber is
more radical than the Cabinet. The
proposition is an unwise one and the
best politicians are at present, as they
have heen heretofore, opposed to in
creasing the popularity ola rather patri-
otic family by making martyrs OF its
members. Nevertheless their claims
are preposterous and intolerablc and
they obstinately refuse to abandon a jot
of them. and the Republic is too precious
to too many people for it to be expected
that what bears even a superficial resent
blance to a standing menance OF 1t
should be viewed with equanimity or
even wisdom by the masses interested in
its preservation. 1t is not IN any dam
ger, bit i; is difficult to persuade French
Republicans that it is not when they
observe the airs the Orleans family has
given itself lately.

4 Train Wrecked.

A special from Round Knob, n. c.,
to the Charlotte Observer says: The
following IS correct statement of the
disaster at Mill creek near Round Knob.
A new truss bridge Of ITO feet span had
but short while been completed across
Mill creek. and to-day, as freighti train
No. 4 approached the bridge, the first
car next to the engine was derailed by a
broken wheel. AS the train ran on the
bridge the broken truck ripped up the
guard rail and knocked out a portion Of
the main braces, which caused a COM
plete wreck Of the structure, and nine
teen cars, most Of which were loaded
with coal, were spilled into the creek.
Engineer Kerby had his leg broken just
above the knee. The train was under
full control and running very slowly.
The .train hands on top saw the cars
going ineo the stream and all jumped
off witholt slightest injury.

HE TOASTED JEFF DAVIS.
Dir. Saunders Hauled Over the Goals after
4Soing Good Stroke of Business.

NEW YORK. May 25.-Comrade S.
NJ. Saunders ofMount Vernon: i'll West
chester County.a member of Farnsworth
Post 10, &. A. R.. has estranged HIM
self from fellowship in the post, and has
imperilled his standing as patriot i'll
the village of his res ':'ence. by having
proposed the health OF Jefferson Davis
at tile centennial anniversary of the
Chatham Artillery ut Savannah. Geor-
gia. in tho early part of May. At a
meeting of Farnsworth Post, in Mount
Vernon, on last Friday night, there was
a short discussion of the matter, and
Major jenkins, Commander Of the post,
and clerk in the New York Custom
House. was directed to learn from
Captain Saunders the facts in the case.
Captain Saunders reply has hardly
served TO allay the excitement, for he
not only admits having proposed jeff
Davis's health, but he refers to the re-
sponse of the ex-President of the Con-
federacy as containing more bright and
loyal expressions in sympathy with the
federation of this great country than
could be expressed by, a hundred thous-
and MEN who really do not know the
great principles Of the Christian faith
peace. forgiveness to all mankind"
Since the receipt of this letter from
Mr.. Saunders a proposal to court mar
tial him has been discussed, and there
is some feeling in Mount Vernon that
he should be dismissed from the G. A.
r. of the State. Others in the post are
in favor of asking his resignation, as be-
ing the easiest way out of the present
embarrassment, and it is possible that
this latter course will be pursued. Cap
tain Saunders brother-in-law. who has
undertaken his defense, says that Cap
tain Saunders acted in his individual
capacity, anl not as a representative OF
the G.. A. r. He admits. also, that he
acted as he did partly from polite
motives. as he has commercial dealings
with the South as a wine merchant.
In fact 1T turns out that Mr.. Saunders
had been in Savannah for week before
the banquet, and had worked up fine
trade. In particular he had sold to the
Chatham Artillery 200 cases OF his en-
cellent champagne, which. in point of
fact, was the very brand in which he
pledged the health Of Mr.. Davis, and
which doubtless inspired the latter
gentleman to utter the bright and loyal
expressions of sympathy referred to.
Mr.. Saunders is q member Of the Old
Guard of this city.
