cameI's Revenge.

An English traveller in the East gives
the camel a very poor character.
According to his account the creature
is from first to last undomesticated
and savage, rendered serviceable not
by tameness but by stupidity.
One passion alone he possesses,
namely revenge, in the carrying out
o. which he shows an unexpected de-
gree OF far-thoughted malice, united
with all thecold stupidity OF his usual
character. One instance of this we'll
remember.
A lad OF about fourteen had con.
Quoted n large camel, laden with
wood, to another village at about
half u miles distance. AS the animal
loiterrd or turned out ef the way, it's
driver struck it repeatedly, and hard.
or than it seems to have thought lie
had IL right to do. But finding the oc-
casion favorable for taking immediate
quits, 1t bode it's time; nor was that
time long in coming.
A few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, unladen, to
his own village. When they were
about half way on the road. and at
some distance from any habitation.
tine camel suddenly stopped, looked
deliberately around in every direction
to assure itself that no one was with.
in sight, and finding the road clear OF
passengers. made a step forward,
seized the hnlucky boys head in its
4. l. =.
to the air flung him down again with
the upper part OF his skull completely
torn off.
Having thus satisfied it's revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace to.
wards the village. n, though nothing
were the matter, till some men who
had observed the whole proceedings.
though unfortunately at too great a
distance to DO able to afford timely
help, came up and killed it.

ALoulsIana Bear.
From the 1b.rv,lls South.

GFom tho lbeevtll0 South.
There are good many bear stories
going the rounds nowadays, but We
have one which actually occurred in
this parish during the present week.
On a small plantation q mile or two
above Bayou Goula black bear was
seen to enter a turnip patch and at
once proceed to help himself to a.
many turnips as his appetite de-
manded. It Is said that q colored
man witnessed tho unauthorized levity
OF Mr.. Bruin and determined that he
would enter the place and drive the
invader out. Acting upon the impulse,
he Immediately entered the enclosure
and started in bruins direction. As
soon rs the mans presence became
known to the bear he discontinued his
vegetable repast. with the evident in.
tention OF embellishing it with meat.
and, with ears thrown back and head
erect, he started toward the son OF
Ham with the apparent intention of
testing the qualities OF his makeup.
The darby saw him coming, and at
once decided that he did not wish to
drive his bearship from the field. and
rather than attempt it he would
leave the field himself. So he
graciously turned his face in
the opposite direction, and made
for the railroad. The bear
appeared to be socially inclined
and willingly followed his visitor.
acceleratine his speed as he travelled.
Sambo initiated him and quickened
his pace. And thus the had it for
some time straight up the railroad;
take the hindmost. Suddenly the
colored man heard a rumbling
noise down the track, and knew
at once that the night express train
was coming. In a short time it hove
in sight. running at the rate of thirty.
five miles an hour.
When the train came in sight the
colored man jumped from the track
and continued his wild flight on the
side of it. The bear also heard the
noise, and looking around saw the
iron horse, with its red lights and its
terrible wheeling and putting, rushing
madly upon him. He seemed to lose
all thought Of the man, and turned
his attention to the new foe which
threatened him. Rearing defiantly
upon his launches, with his fore feet
extended. he snarlingly awaited the
oncoming train. He hadn't long to
wait, and the ponderous engine, with
its long and heavy landen train,
struck old bruin amidships, and in u
jlffy sent him to the happy hunting
grounds to join the members OF his
family which had preceded him there.
He was skinned on the spot-by piece.
meal, we suppose-and the colored
man who had been racing with him
enjoyed a slice OF hapless bruln for
supper.

To s.ch Despair ca. Never Como.


"Not my will, but Thine be DONE"
In this brief prayer lies the very heart
Of all true devotion. 1t is not a prayer
of sentiment, but prayer of the pro-
foundest philosophy. There might be
weakness in "giving, in and giving up"
If there was nothing more than "giv-
ing in and giving up" But just as
there is something very beautiful in
the unquestioning, confiding manger
in which a child yields to parental
guidance and love, SO there Is the
truest wisdom In making the will of
God the law of our life, for our God
and Father "doeth all things WELL"
Like Job, we may sometimes wonder
why Gods will is that we should walk
In darkness and sorrow, and like him
We may be ready to cry: "Show me
wherefore Thou contendest with met"
Happy for us If, like Job, we can feel
80 sure that the contention" is wisest
and best for us, that we can also add,
"Though He slay me, yet will l trust in
him." Christ has not wondered by &C.
cident In Gethsemane. There was
purpose rich in meaning for all the
ages in those hours of agony. There
are no accidental. purposeless, Geth-
eeu1anes.
All those who journey, soon or late,
Must pass within the gardens gaze;
Must kneel alone in darkness there
And battle with .omc fierce despair.
God pity those who can not say,
"Not mine hut thine;" who only pray,
"l.et this cup pass and can not see
The purpose In Gethsenane.
10 such as make this prayer the
spirit of their lives, despair can never
come. darkness may come, but God
is in the darkness and in the light.
Every attribute of His character is an
assurances that His will is wisest and
best.
All that He blesscs is our good,
And unblest good is i'll;
And all is right that seems most wrong
Iii be His sweet will.
