A FANTASY.

We might be- more than happy
And lead such perfect lives,
If all of us were children
And none were husbands, wives;
But boys grow, and girls grow.
Together or apart,
Till some day each discovers
The other has heart.
This halves their joys and doubles thei
cares,
And ends In wrinkles and gray hairs;
In the feet that rock the cradle,
In the hands that toll for bread,
The trouble about the living,
The sorrow above the dead.
What can we do, them Nothing more
Than those who begot and bore us;
They make our lives before us
As theirs were made before.
We must be up and doing,
Maidens flying and men pursuing,
Then heyl for billing and cooling,
And hoi for wooing and winning,
The world will never mend;
Love was before the beginning,
And will be after the end.

Bear Shooting in India.

was once present at great fair at

a bear was viewed on the neighboring
hillside. hurried up with my rifle
and shot him from above between the
shoulders, but, instead Of dropping,
he rushed headlong into the middle Of
the fair and squatted in bush. The
people foolishly crowded round and
so prevented my getting shot. Pres
emily he rushed forth, and, passing
grain dealers shop, he gave the own
or slap on the face and passed on,
but that slap took out a semicircle Of
his jaw with seven teeth attached
The mans nerves were so little affect
cd that he presently held up the piece
OF jaw for our inspection when we
visited him at the hospital, and he was
at his work again in few days.
The bear was soon dispatched after
he left the poor grain dealer. Though
the deadly wound gave the bear fail

with another bear which l got shot
at going at full gallop, and rolled
him over with one shot, so that he
never moved again. He was q big

Stalking bears is Just tri1e tame,

them Is moro exciting. There is all

and it is moro difficult, OF course, to

In one drive ten bears were secured.
