Mr.. Harper returned to the city next

The sun was Just down; but there re-
mained a yellow glow in the SKY, and
the birds chirped scepily in the hedges,
while swallow or two yet cIrcled round
the caves OF the barn.
Alice was very pretty a fair-haircd,
briglt-cOmp pie Xioned girl, with lar,e,
brown ewes, and lips reddcr and ripper
thla any strawberry. And perhaps that
was the reason that she produced such
an preston in the village OF Milton,
which, u. speak the truth, was not a
beauty producing ncighDorhooi.
Tnc girls OF Milton werc lank and tall,
with no particular figures freckled com
plczlons, and heavy featurts. They
were, however, as Robert Rockingham
observed, regular spiders TO work, and
turned out firSt-class butter-makers,
factory hands, and poultry breeders; but
as for the poetic side of life, they knew
nothing OF it, and cared less.
They raised vegetables of all sorts in
their gardens; but roses an pinks they
ignored rs simply . waste of time.
They read the weekly paper and the
Bible, and occasionally consulted their
almanacs but they never had heard of

A Man Attacked by Squirrels.

Col. J. L. Culbertson Of Edwards
port, Ind, tells this story of his expe-
rience in 1884 or thereabouts, the time
of the great migration of squirrels from
the east to the west. The Evansville
Courier, which publishes the story, says
that the colonel is a gentleman of ''un-
questioned truth and honesty" He was
young man then, and one day took his
rifle and went about a mile from town
to hunt. He was going through the
woods when he met the army Of squir-
rels. They became so thick around
him and seemed 50 fearless that he stood
in amazement. Finally he struck one
with stick. The squirrel uttered a
sharp squeak and instantly myriads of
squirrels from all directions rushed to
the de efence of their associate and at
tackled Mr.. Culbertson, who kicked
them off and clubbed at them with his
gun. They climbed up his legs, jumped
upon his back, and on top of his head.
He fought desperately, but the more he
succeeded in hurting the louder the
chattering and screaming around him
became, which only brought greater
numbers of the infuriated little animals
to the attack. They bit his legs and
arms and gashed his face and neck and
lacerated his hands, fairly scrambling
over each other in their fierce assault.
He dropped his gun and retreated as
fast as he could, fighting desperately as
he went Blood streamed down his
face and neck and hands. They bit
him through the ears, and held on until
they actually tore their hold loose. He
got out of the woods, and still scores
followed him and chung to him until
they were pulled off by the c'erk and
others in store to which young Cul-
bert on rushed for assistance. Some Of
the friends who helped to pull off the
squirrels, and who saw him come into
town literally beset with them, still re-
side at Elwardsport. f II friends
washed his wounds and stay led the flow
of blood which tricIled down his legs
and back and gushed from his face and
neck, and, with good care and atten-
ton, he slowly recovered.

THE bird that should have been

the bird of patience, forbearance, and

bird that combines more virtues to the

mule emblazoned on our banners, We

We mean to do the fair thing by every
body. We plod along, doing as we
would be done by. So does the mule.
We, as a nation, are slow to anger. So

We allow parties to get on and rile as

spurs into our ftnks and tickles our
heels with a straw, we come down stiff

Years ago Dr.. Asa Gray was studying
in Pari,, aud in q h"rbarium there cnmo
across small, broken and imperfect
specimen marked simply From Amer
ica, " which interested him much. From
the fragments before him hc recon
structed the whole plant. His work
was approx; by the botaui Is about h i'm,
and he named the little pi-at "shortia
Galacifoh4' in honor Of Dr.. Charlie, w.
Short, the distinguished bJtlnist. But
no live specimens Of tho plant could DO
found Years passed on aud 1t had
never bcca seen. At last botauist at
work in japan found and named plant
which seemed to be Of genus cIosciy
allied to the Saortia DR.. Gray CORE
spondel with the botanist, and it was
concluded that the doctor had been in
error aad had mistaken Il specimen Of
the Jaraacse genus. So the shortia
was generally LETT out Of the list Of
plants by systematic botanists.
But twenty sars after this,
as DR.. GooIale and Professor
Watson were one day in the library Of
the Ia fersity, they heard shout Of
triumph from the herbarium aad rushed
in TO fad Dr.. Gray waving a small plant
about in the widest enthusiasm. "Look
at it, What is it1 he cried The two
botauists examined it as directed and
recognized tho characteristics Of tho
much-di-cus,eI plant at is the
Shortia," they exclaimed. The speci-
men had been sent hy houae IN tho
south which made 4 business Of putting
mp medicinal herbs. 1t had been
brought in from SOM hitherto unex-
plored nook in the mountains by one Of
their collectors, and sent to the pro-
tessor for Identification. Il proved in
deed to be the Shortia, which wac there
fore once more rciastateI IN the floral
family, greatly to DR.. Gray's delight.
DR.: Gray atterward visited the locality
in which the pla1t was fouud and pro-
cured living specimen for the botani-
cal garden. -. New York Tribune.
