A Man Adopted by Rabbits.

There is an old man out in Mound
Valley, Nevada, who has been adopted
by lot of jack-rabbits. Their friendli-
ness and good-feeling have become so
obtrusive that the old fellow would
be thankful if something would happen
to ALLEVIATE their affections. He is a
sort of hermit, living all alone on his
ranch, where he devotes all his time to
cattle and horse-raising. AS he does
not try to raise vegetables, the rabbits
could do him no harm, and so he never
tried to drive them away. They soon
became very tame, and, as the jack
rabbit is an affectionate animal anyway,
they kept making more advances and
trials of friendship until they and the
old man have become quite sociable.
When he goes out after his cows two
or three dozen rabbits come trooping
along after him, leaping around him,
running between his legs and nibbling
his fingers. Very often drove of
them will gather around his cabin and
cut up all sorts of pranks in front of
his door, leap on his bed, jump into his
chair-if he isn't occupying the only
one himself-and nose around among
his kettles and dishes for something to
eat Several of the most intelligent he
has singled out for special favors. He
has taught them number of tricks,
such as jumping over bar or through
a ring, walking on their hind legs and
jumping over one another like leap
frog. But the rabbits have developed
such liking for civilization that they
are about to take possession of his
house, and have begun to rear their
broods in it, so that the old man hardly
knows now whether he owns the house
or simply lives there with the rabbits.

Daniel Gray.

In all the late DR.. Hollands writings, we
know of nothing which equals in pathos
and tenderness the following beautiful poem,
and its value is enhanced when it is known
that the author describes his own father in
" old Daniel Gray"
If shall ever win the home in heaven,
For whose sweet rest humbly pray,
In the great company of the forgiven
shall be sure to find old Daniel Gray.
Old Daniel Gray was not man who lifted
On ready words his weight of gratitude,
Aud was not called among the gifted
In the praycr-meeting of his neighborhood.
He had "A few eld-fashoned words and phrases,
Linked in with sacred texts and Sunday rhymes,
And suppose that in his prayers and graces
I've heard them at least thousand times
I see him now-his form his face his motions,
His homespun habit and his silver hair
And hear the language of his trite devotions
Rising behind the STRAIGHTFORWARD kitchen chair.
l can remember how the sentence sounded:
Help us, o Lord, to pray and not to faint"
And how the conquering and to conquer =" rounded
The loftier aspirations of the saint
He had some notions that did not improve him
He never kissed his children, so they say
And finest scenes and farest flowers would move
him
Less than horseshoe picked up on the way.
lie had hearty hatred of oppression
And righteous words for sin of any kind;
Alas, that the transgressor and transgresslon
Were linked together in his honest mind
He could see naught but vanity in beauty
And naught but weakness in fond caress,
And pitied men whose views of Christian duty
Allowed indulgence in such foolishness.
Yet there were love and tenderness within him,
And am told that when his Charley died
Nor Natures needs nor gentle words could win him
From his fond vigils at the sleeper's side.
And when they came to bury little Charley
They found fresh dew-drops sprinkled in his hair,
And on his breast a rosebud gathered early,
And guessed. but did not know, who placed 1t there
Honest and faithful, constant in his calling,
Strictly attendant the means of grace,
Instant in prayer and fearful most of falling,
Old Daniel Gray always in his place.
A practical old man and yet dreamer,
He thought in some strange, unlooked.for way
His mighty Friend in heaven the great Redeemer,
Would honor him with wealth some golden day.
This dream he carried in hopeful spirit
Until in death his patient eye grew dim,
When his Redeemer called him to inherit
The heaven of wealth long garnered up for him.
So If ever win the home in heaven,
For whose sweet rest humby hope and pray,
In the great company of the forgiven
shall be sure to find old Daniel Gray.

Neptune.

l have such a good true story to tell
you of dog who lived many years
ago and belonged to my father. His
name was Neptune, with "Nep" for a
pet name, and he was Newfoundland
dog. Time would fail me to tell you all
the wonderful things he knew and did,
but l will tell just one story. His mas
ter owned coffee and spice factory in
one of our eastern cities, and part of
Nep's duty was to watch the store even
ings during his masters absence. The
latter always returned to the store for
the night, as he slept there. One night,
as he closed the doors and windows, he
stepped out, saying, Goodbye, Nep;
look after things" If he could have
spoken am sure Nep would have said,
Ay, ay, sir" but he only wagged his
tail in knowing way and then made
his round of inspection. In the little
room back of the store he found that a
door had been broken off its hinges
that day and instead of being properly
mended had been set back into place
and propped up with log. " Well,
WE'LL" he thought, this is fine state
of affairs" and kept an eye on the
cautiously moved a little, head was
thrust in, then pair of shoulders, and
finally the whole of man stood in the
little room. Not stir from Nep. /
wonder if you will all think he did not
amount to much as a watchdog when
| tell you that he never prevented
any one from entering store or
house or room that he was watch
ing? Well, such was the case. But
let me tell you another thing: once
in, he never let any stranger out. So
in walked the thief, and when he was
well in and had begun prowling around
for booty he was felled to the ground
by one blow of Nep's powerful paw.
Not bark or growl did he utter, only
sat in silence, with his paw on the thief's
breast. "Good Jack, nice dog, good
fellow!" said the man, patting the dog.
man tried to rise he showed his teeth
and pressed his paw little harder.
Thus matters stood when his master
came in little later. AS he turned to
pass up to his room he heard faint
Hulloo!" from the rear of the store.
Going back, he saw what | have de-
scribed-the man lying flat on the floor
and the dog with his paw upon his
breast. He called the dog off, helped
the man to rise and asked the trouble.
"Well, may as well tell YOU" was
the reply. ~ came in here to steal.
Pm stranger III town; can't get any
work and Pm hungry. That dog has
interrupted my first theft" My father
gave him some bread and meat and a
quarter to go and get a bed somewhere,
and dismissed him, telling him to come
next day and he would see what he
could do about work. He did come
next day and work was secured few
blocks away, and was so faithfully done
that the man rose, step by step, until
he was able to establish himself in bust
ness, and is to-day one of the most sue
cessful of flour and feed merchants in
the city where he lives. He and Nep
were afterward good friends until Nep
died, at the age of twenty years.-Er.

A Song Of Spring.

o dear little children, the spring-time Is comngl
Therere crocuses the way;
And down In the hollow
The brook If you follow,
You'll find 1t Is merry to-day.
There're fresh, earthly scent in the woods and the
meadows,
The willows tinted with green;
The bluebirds are singing,
The grass is upsprnging,
'Ts the happest time ever seen
For we weary of showing and blowing,
OF ice and the sleet and the RAIN
But now winters over
And soon there'll be clover
And daisies and berries again.
Then sing little children, be happy and merry
We elders will join in your play
And eagerly follow,
BY hilltop and hollow,
To gather arbutus to-day.
No heart is so old but 1t quickens It's pulses,
Too burdened-but cares slip away,
As journeying after
We echo your laughter,
Content to be children to-day.
Good HoHseEeeDiDO.
