An AcrObatic Fish.

1t is not unusual when near body OF
water to see the fish clear tho surface il
jump for flies. The following. how,
evcr, told by gentleman claiming to
have been an eye witness, rather beats
the record of long leaps by tho fnny
family: Early one morning in the autumn
the narrator, then in tho country, went
to tho shores OF little lake to try his
luck with tho line. Coming to tree
overhanging the water his attention was
called to two young birds at the end oil
one Of the lowest limbs. 1t looked as
though it was tho first time they had
been out of tho nest, as the mother
bird was lowering restlessly about them.
They made no attempt to fly, but kept
edging along the branch until at the
very tip, when the water reflected every
movement distin city. Suddenly gis.
tening pike darted up out of the bosom
of the lake, snatched one of the little
feathercd fellows and fell back into the
water with it in its mouth.
1t seemed incredible and the observer
could hardly believe his own eyes. Oue
of the young birds was gone, that was
unqucstionable, and the old one was
sounding her notes of alarm. The rip
Piles in the water had hardly gone down
when, with whisk of his tail, up came
the pike again and carried away the
second youngster, falling back into his
native element with loud splash. In
both instances the fish had gone over
the branch, a distance of fully three
feet from the water. = Chicago Times.

The Untried World.


Once at midnight, long ago,
In my garrett brown and low,
I woke to hear tho Autumn Whirlwind
blow.
Then, amid that restless roar,
Straining roof and trembling hoor,
NV childish bosom painted for the shore.
From that raftered garrett bare,
Forth, away, knew not where.
crept unhindered down the dusky' stair.
Step by step and flight by flight.
Half in rapture, half in fright,
NV heart took refuge in the arms OF night!
Dark the night was; lone and high
Cloud and vapor, sweeping by
In murky shadows, veiled the sultry sky.
North and south, on either hand,
Black with sea weed, splitting sand,
Long lines of breakers thundered to the
land.
Fast followed; thick and fast,
Rolling to the rolling blast,
heard the rough waves kissing as Ipassed.
Still beneath the tempest's frown,
On the margin wet and brown,
Ny naked feet went gle eaming up and down.
Still the beach before me curled;
Fonm and sedges, ocean-swirled,
Stretched like the pathway to an untried
world.
Come, my weary soul, away!
Shun the curious eyes Of day
And breath salt freedom in the singing
spray.
Let the swollen tide once more
Rise against the ragged shore
Whose stormy crescent ghmmers white be-
fore;
So in fairer faith at last,
Bonds and pledges backward cast.
Step forth untrammeled from halting
Past

has been cast in the scale for the purpose
of screening men who were known to be

William Il. English say to Coy after his
conviction, ''Tho whole Democratic party
is at your back" not only did Governor
Gray and Senator Mcdonald devote their
eloquence at Tomlinson hall to a pane

Democracy, but when William Henderson
went to Washington to secure the prose

that these criminals might go unpublished.

Thus we see, according to official au-
thority, wages are 100 per cent. higher in
the WOODEN and worsted industry in the
United States than in any of tho Euro

per cent. Tho manufacturers would
