A Bad Cow at q Funeral.

A thrilling incident TRANSFERRED at a fu-
neral in Bungree. Victoria, the other day.
The ~pall-bearers and other officials were in
the act of bearing the remains OF the late
lamented from the cemetery gates to -"
grave, and the friends and relatives fol-
lowed sadly in the wake, allowing their bit
ter tears to filter through large Eandker-
chiefs, when j one-horned. bony cow. with
a fiery eye anu an elevated tail, bore down
on the cortege and butted the gentlemen
who bore the coin into Il condition of rags
and i~ncapacity: then she skipped about.
froiickcd along sideways, trod upon the
procession, and wore holes in it with her
solitary horn. after which the remainder OF
the m%ournsrs sought comparative security
en- top Of tollbstoncs ard i'll other elevated
positions, leaving the dead and wounded on
the field of action. The g~rave-digger sub
s%equently diverted the cows attention with
a spade, and the funeral terminated with a
prayer.

old fountain pen. The man who used to
write with me, before he'd start to think,
would rudely twist mo all apart and chuck
me full of ink, and then I'd scratch along
and tell Of some bright youthful bride, who
wed the only man she loved, serene and

buds that decked her flowing hair, and Of
the words the parson SAID about the ''happy

Soft stole to where the fame-clouds lay
To where the sun hung beaming.

But looked back DER the dimpled hill
To where the world lay dim and stllI,-

To where the sky is cleaning;
To where the light that marks the day
Is all our heaven scanning.
And yet we seem full 10th to go,

But look back, with regretful eyes,
To where the world in twilight lies
To where the world is dreaming.
