On ordinary grades it would require

On roals of steep graIss and sharp

A Beautiful Tribute.

We have seen many beautiful tri-

ing is the finest we ever read: "Place
her among tn flowers, foster her as
tender plant, and she is thing Of
fancy, wsywardness and folly annoy
ed By a dew drop, fretted by the touch
Of butieify'S wing, ready to faint at
the sound Of beetle or the rattling
of u window sash at night and is over
powered by the perfume Of u rosebud,
But let real calamity come, rous- her
affections, enkindle the fires Of her
heart, aud mark her then-how strong
is her heart? Place her in the heat
of battle-give her child, a bird, or
anything to pr"tect-and see her in a
relative instance, lifting her white
arms ,s a shield, as her own blood
crim.ons her upturned forehead. pray
ing for her life to protect the helpless.
Transplant her in the dark places of
the earth, call forth her energies to
action; and her breath becomes u
hoaling, her presence a blessing. She
disputes inch by iuch the strides of u
stalking pesillsnce, when mrn, the
strong aud brave, pale aud atfrighted
shrinks away. Misfortune hurts her
not; she wears away life in silent
endurance. and goes forth with less

A Life-Savlng Dog.

Little Willie was also little fool.
NO boy who was not would have stood
out on the end of that slippery bough
which overhung the swift current while
ne threw sticks into the water for his
dog to bring out again, when he might
just as easily have thrown them from
the bank. Rover, however. who was
a huge black Newfoundland-big
enough to have swallowed little Willie
Tor break last evidently enjoyed the
fun Immensely. As the boy reached
10 branch above him to break of
another piece to throw into the stream,
the Intelligent Rover barked encour-
agement from the -recoiling .
loot or so from the river with every
bark.
Here, Rover! Good Dig! Fetch
it! shoCtel little Willie, as he threw
the twig, with all his small strength,
out over the water.
"Wow! WOW! wow!" bark d Rover,
and sprang toward the verge of the
bank. Just At that moment, however,
Willie lost his balance. The effort of
throwing had made him careless =
treacherous piece of bark slipped from
the bough on which he was standing,
and with one splash" he had disap-
peared.
Rover stopped suddenly in his rush
