WISE WORDS.

Have no friends you dare not bring
home.
Doing good is the only certainly happy
action Of mans life.
Select worthy object in life, and bend
all your efforts in that direction.
The censure of those that are opposite
to us is the incest commendation that
can be given us.
Steadtastly set your face against need
less delays in doing any work for the
good of your fellow men.
A wise man stands firm in all ex-
tremities, and bears the lot of his hu-
manity with divine temper.
Take up one by one the plain, practi-
cal duties that lie nearest to hand, and
perform them as fast as possible.
Wrong doing is road that may open
fair but it leads to trouble and danger.
Well-doing, however rough and thorny,
surely leads to pleasant places.
There is only now and then an oppor-
tunity of displaying great courage or
even great wisdom; but every hour in
the day offers a chance to show our good
nature.
No way has been found for making
heroism easy, even for the scholar. La
bor, iron labor, is for him. The world
was created as an audience for him; the
atoms of which it is made are opportu.
mites.
The meanest and most illegitimate of
all human pursuits is the direct pursuit
of reputation. 1t is supremely selfish
and contemplate; and there is no man
who really deserves a good reputation
who does not make its acquisition sub
ordinate aim in all his actions.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1886-11-10
A HAPPY HOME.

have very happy home, where peace is
ever found,
Where gentleness and love their fragrance
breathes around;
Where gladness and content makes pleasant
every day,
While sorrow, sin and care are banished far
away.
Where when the day is DER, my darling one
returns
To share with those he loves the honest wealth
he earns;
Where happy children are-without them
home is naught--
Where truth is gladly learned and just as
gladly taught,
Where piety prevails, and faith in Provi-
dence,
And each to each the choicest gifts presents.
That is happy home where sadness is un-
known,
Where loving words are said and loving
precepts shown.
Mrs. Harry Don, in Good Housekeeping.

The Puma.

All who have killed or witnessed the
killing of the puma-and have ques-
toned scores of hunters on this point
agree that it resigns itself in an unre-
sisting, pathetic manner to death at the
hands of man. Claudio Gay, in his
"Natural History of Chill, says: "When
attacked by man its energy and daring
at once forsake it, and it becomes weak,
inoifensive animal, and trembling, and
uttering piteous means, and shedding
abundant tears, it seems to implore COM
passion from generous enemy" The
enemy is not often generous; but many
gauchos (South American cowboys) have
assured me, when speaking on this sub
ject, that although they kill the puma
readily to protect their domestic animals,
they consider it an evil thing to take its
life in desert places, where it is mans
only friend among the wild animals.
When the hunter is accompanied by
dogs, then the puma, instead of dropping
and shedding tears, is reused to sub
lime rage; its hair stands erect; its eyes
shine like balls of green flame; it spits
and snarls like a furious tomcat. The
hunters presence seems at such times to
be ignored altogether, its whole atten-
being given to the dogs and its rage di-
rected against them. In Patagonia a
sheep-farming Scotchman, with whom
spent some days, showed me the skulls
of five pumas which he shot in the vi
cinity of his ranch. One was of an ex-
ceptionally large individual, and here
relate what he told me of his encounter
with this animal, as it shows just how
the puma almost invariably behaves
when attacked by man and dogs. He
was out on foot with his flock, when the
dogs discovered the animal concealed
among the bushes. He had left his gun
at home, and having no weapon, and
finding that the dogs dared not
attack it where it sat in a de-
fiant attitude, with its back against
thorny bush, he looked about
and found large dry stick, and going
boldly up to it tried to stun it with a
it never looked at him, its fiery eyes gaz-
ing steadily at the dogs all the time, he
could not hit, for with quick side move
ment it avoided every blow. The small
heed the puma paid him, and the APP
parent ease with which it avoided the
best-aimed blows, only served to rouse
his spirit, and at length striking with in
creased force his stick came to the
ground and was broken to pieces For
some moments he now stood within two
yards of the animal perfectly defence
less and not knowing what to do Sud
denly it sprang past him, actually brush
ing against his arm with its side, and be-
gan pursuing the dogs round and round
among the bushes. In the end my in
formant's partner appeared on the scene
with his rine, and the puma was shot.
In encounters of this kind the most
curious thing is that the puma stead
fastly refuses to recognize an enemy in
man, although it find him acting in con
cert with its hated canine foe, about
whose hostile intentions it has no such
delusion -LORqman's Magazine.
