No other member OF the League family
called upon the sick woman except Mrs.
Kate Quentel, sister of Pat League, and
Mrs. Annie League. the latter OF whom
left money with the patient for medicine
and guaranteed that the room rent should
be paid

The Hon. Mr.. Cody-and " Buffalo Bill. d"

Fort Davenport was a tWelve-cOmpany
post, and was garrisoned by ten troops Of
the Thirty-third Cavalry and two COM
panies Of the Seventy first Infantry. The
quarters were we'll built and spacious.
The enterprising trader had fitted up two
apartments with billiard and cardtables,
which he called respectively the officers
club room and the mems room. 1t was
in the aforementioned of these apart
ments that Bill Cody made his now some
what famous reply to Captain of the
Fifty-ffth. 1t was soon after the en-
gagement at Thin Knobs, where Cody
had availed himself Of the opportunity to
scalp an Indian. Several officers were
conversing in the room together, when
one expressed it as his opinion that Cody
ought not to scalp. He said: at is all
right enough for the Indians to scalp;
they know no better. But Cody ought
to be above such things"
The scout who was being criticised
was standing in the doorway, and though
he could not be seen by the inmates Of
the room, yet he heard every word that
was said. AS the speaker concluded,
Cody walked into the room. He certain

His long golden hair hung below his

were of almost one sold mass of beard

Rat and Poll Parrot.

Chris Pharo owns poll parrot that is
a dandy The other morning a rat,
lured by the luscious smells of the bake
shop, left the stenches of the cellar and
sewer, and climbing up stairs, made a
raid on cream puffs, gorged down few
tarts, nibbled the macaroons, and sam
pied the pies and gingerbread before his
depredations were discovered. Then he
was hustled off with vengeance, and
rushing into the room where the parrot
was, succeeded in breaking into Polly's
cage. Polly was playing circus with heI
claws and bill, and when she spied the
rat she came down on his back with both
claws and held it firmly to the bottom OF
the cage. The rat rolled over and twisted
its head around, squealing like mad as
Polly pecked at its eyes and soon had
them both out. The rat snapped and
tore out some of Pollys feathers, but she
held fast to the varmint and succeeded in
killing it. Then mounting her perch
and rufiing her feathers about her neck,
she announced: ''Polly wants a cracker

THE OLD CANOE.

Where the rocks are gray and the shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes are hong and
lank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
There lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like a sea-bird's wings that the storm has
Topped,
And crossed on the railing; one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work is done,
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl with the dull ''too-
WHO'D"
Settles down OH the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its dull decay,
Hiding its moldoring dust away,
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb
flower
Or the ivy that nantes the falling tower;
While many a blossom of lOveliest hue
Springs up DER the stern of the old canoe
The currentless waters are dead and still,
But the twilight wind plays with the boat at
will
And laZily in and out again
1t floats the length Of the rusty chain.
Like the weary march of the hands of time
That meet and part at the noontide chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turn anew,
By the dripping bow of the old canoe.
Oh! many time with careless hand,
L have pushed it away from the pebbly
strand.
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirls are wild and the eddies
thick
And laughed as 1 leaned DER the rocking
side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two.
That were mirrowed back from the old
canoe.
But, now as [ lean DER the crumbling side,
And look below i'll the sluggish tide
The face that [ see there is graver grown,
All the laugh that [ hear has a soberer tone,
And the hands that lent to the light slziff
wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things
But love to think of the hours that sped
AS [ rocked where the whirIs their white
spray shed
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass
grew
Ger the moldering stern of the old canoe

MATTIE'S CHOICE.

If any one had limited to pretty Matte
Woolston that she would ever figure as a
heroine in a story she would have opened
her brown eyes wide in amazement. She
was the only child of good old DR.. Wool
ston, Of Greyport, thriving town in
Yorkshire, and in the circle of local So
ciety was considered at once belle and
an heiress. Hair and eyes the color of a
chestnut when first the burr uncloses, a
complexion as soft as satin and white as
milk, with the prettiest rose tint of color
on the round cheeks, white, even teeth
set in a pretty, smiling mouth, a figure
tall, slight and graceful, were the attrac-
lions in appearance of the village beauty
But those who knew Matte Woolst0n
we'll were wont to say that her pretty
face and figure were the least of her
charms. She had a low, musical voice,
manner graceful and easy, high-bred by
intuition of what was dignifed and maid
emily; she was the neatest housekeeper in
Greyport, and all her taste, full dresses
and hats were the work of her own def
fingers. She had read intelligently and
could converse we'll.
Matte had many lovers. Bot foremost
upon the list, to all appearance, was
handsome Ned Gordon. who had been to
the University, and whose father shared
the aristocratic honors of Greyport with
the doctor and clergyman, being the only
lawyer in the town.
The clergyman was a bachelor of nearly
forty years of age, who had come but
recently to Greyport to preside over the
church where the WOolstons and the
Gordons had each a pew. He was a
grave, reserved man, whose face bore the
impress of SORROWS and cares conquered,
and succeeded by the serene peace that is
far above the careless content that has
never known interruption. He was not
a handsome man, but had large, tender
eyes under broad white brow; and these
would irradiate his hOmely face with a
light almost divine, when he preached
with an eloquence and simplicity rarely
combined; so that men went from his
church, slowly and thoughtfully ponder
ing upon truths that were but homely,
ery-day facts, but suddenly had been
illumined by earnest eloquence into paths
to salvation.
One of these men, young, wealthy and
full of talent, was Ned Gordon, Matte S
ardent admirer from boyhood. He had
left her in sobbing pain of love to go to
a boarding school, had felt his heart
torn when college took him again from
Matte, and had become more devoted
than ever when he came home ''for
good" to find her grown to womanhood,
fairer than ever.
He had been wont to say of himself,
when he considered the subject at all,
that he ''was not a bad fellow, as fellows
go" being simply an idle hanger-on to
