Pigs were little known in Scotland
until the eighteenth century, and anus
ing stories are told of the wonder and
fright of the people at the appearance
of the fat domestic animal now so COM
mon on every farm. About 1920,
gentleman living in Dumfriesshire who
was called the "Gudeman o. the Brow"
received from some distant place
present of fine young porker, which
seems to have been the first ever seen
in that part of the country.
This pig was of q rowing disposition,
and one day wandered into an adjoin-
ing parish. Here peasant woman,
who was herding her cattle near the
seashore, was greatly alarmed at sight
of the Istrange creature, which, she
thought, came grunting up from the
water, and away she fled, screaming
with terror.
A crowd soon gathered around her,
to whom she declared that dell"
came out of the sea, with two horns on
his head, and chased her, roaring and
swapping his jaws, and she was sure he
was not far off.
Upon this an old school-master
quieted the excitement of her listeners
and said bravely that he would "conjure
the deil," and proceeded at once to
bring out Bible and an antique sword /;
but when suddenly the little swine
started up gruntinp, at his back, the
courageous pedagogue took to his heels.
The frightened crowd who had been
watching him now hid themselves in
barns, and even climed upon the house
tops; and the panic continued until
some one, who had previously seen the
pig, exclaimed, "'Tis the Gudeman o.
the Brow's grumphy."
That same day the pig trotted up to
two men who were riding homeward
Just at dusk. Galloping away in alright
they got into the Lochar swamps, where
one of the horses was drowned The
two men remained in the swamp all
night. not daring to speak above
whisper, for fear the monster should
discover and devour them.
When morning broke, they made
their way home by another road to
their anxious families, to whom they
told remarkable tale of having seen
"a creature with horns on its head and
cloven feet, roaring out like lion;" if
they had not galloped away, it would
certainly have torn them to pieces.
They must have been somewhat crest
fallen when neighbor cried out:
"Hoot, man it was the Gudeman o
Brow's grumphyl 1t frightened a the
town yesterday, and poor Meg Ander-
son maist lost her wits, and is aye ont o
ane fit into another sim"
Before the pig got home, he sent a
canny Scotchmsn nearly daft" by
snorting about the feet of a colt on
which the man was riding. The young
horse ran away and threw his master
into the road. The poor fellow picked
himself up, spied the pig not far off,
and took to the woods, where he re-
mained twenty-four hours. Terror
stimulated his imagination to such an
extent that he afterwards described the
innocent porker as big as calf, hay
ing long horns, eyes like trenchers, and
back like hedgehog"
Truly. that pig had good deal to
answer for.

Preserve the Trees.

Ten years ago a single country-seat
stood upon the bank of wide inlet OF
the sea on the New Jersey coast.
Wooded hills shouldered each other
along the beach, from the sides OF
which magnificent views of sea and land
opened to the horizon.
A few wealthy people with taste
bought this place, and built simple but
beautiful houses. Not q tree or a shrub
was disturbed; the first principle OF
their art was to reverence nature. In
consequence the ground in this village
is sold now at almost fabulous prices
so eager are the wealthy denizens Of
New York and Philadelphia to find
something like primitive nature in which
to rest during the summer.
A few miles farther down the same
coast little peninsula projects into the
sea. 1t was ten years ago covered with
heavy pine forests, with marshes
stretching, bronzed and crimson, in the
sun with great jungles of bay bushes
gray with their waxen berries, through
which tiger-liies famed, and pink
morning -glories and white yarrow were
massed together. The spot was SC
exquisite in its beauty that it was
haunted by artists every year.
But some of the owners of the land
became ambitious to give it "a BOOM"
They hoped to tempt city buyers by
making it poor imitation of q city.
The trees were cut down; enormous
clay streets were run at right angles,
sunny marshes, tangles of flowers,
crooked and lovely lanes all were swept
away; hideous, cheap queen Anne"
cottages were ranged along the muddy
streets, street-cars were run, pool-rooms,
livery stables, and candy-shops were
opened. The last belated butterfly
tapped its wings over the avenues"
searching in vain for shady nook, and
disappeared.
The "city" was finished, ready for the
people; but the people did not come.
They were tired of wide streets and
stately houses in winter, and why
should they come to this mean imita-
ton of them in summer? They went
on, like the butterfly, to find quiet and
shade with nature. The lots on this
place can now be bought for nominal
sum.
Beauty is rare possession; and COM
mands high money value. 1t would
be wise, if but from the most sordid
motives, to preserve the repose of the
wildness, the inimitable charm of
nature, which they are in such eager
haste to destroy. Youths Com

selles of sensibility and viyacity used to
sigh over the misfortunes of Clarissa
Harlowe, or divert themselves with the
adventures of Tom Jones and Sophia
Western.
1t is sometimes quite different from
that which the present race of young
women effect. 1t is rather total want
of sentiment that prevails. In former
days, the sex were wont to appeal to
men from their softer, gentler, weaker
side. Now it is the reverse. They ap-
pear to aim at meeting men on their own
platform, and consorting with them as
like to like-from a mans standpoint
rather than from a woman's. A girl
nowadays will unabashed chaff her male
partner, rally him, amuse him, in his
own coin, in his own manner, and in the
way he would her. This is what we
understand as the female manishness
so noticeable in the beau monde of to-
day, and, we may add, so unlovely. 1t
is forgotten that what a man desires in
woman is contrast, not caricature of
himself

SWEET MEMORIES.


When winter hurls her bitter sleot
Across the unprotected moor,
Inc traveller with hasty feet
speeds on toward his GIbin door;
But through the shnrpfauged, nipping air
May crust his beard with icy riine,
1t cannot from his memory tear
The sweet delights of summertime,
So every memory borne of joy
VIII live as long as life shall last:
No changes can the charm destroy
'Tfs proof 'gainst every arrow cast.
A backward view recalls the hours
That once our youthful pulses thrilled,
AS aromatic summer flower
Live in the scent from them distilled
The memory of childhood passed
Beneath gentle mothers sway.
With loves sweet mantle o oer it cast,
Can never wholly pass away.
Whatever adult fate we earn,
Whateer the censure or the praise
Still will the fond heart sometimes turn
Back to those careless, happy days.
Then let US, as We journey on,
EndeaYor some sad heart to cheer
Twill be an act to think upon
When ending our probation here
A Joy to know that after death
Has set the restless spirit free,
There still lives in our mortal breath
Some foudly cherished memory.

Kept Silent Thirty Years.

The death of Mrs. Susan d. Merri-
field, which occurred here recently, re-
wives interest in one of the most peculiar
cases ever known of vow of silence
made and kept thirty years. In 1860
Mrs. Merrifeld, who, it is said, was
a little woman of peculiarly bright
and CHEEKY disposition, was telling her
husband of some occurrence, when he
requested her in q very surly manner

to be silent, adding that the sound of
her voice was hateful to him.
1t seems that Mr.. Merrifeld, while a
flood husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasure
when aroused by outside matters by i'll
humors with his wife, whose good ma
ture usually passed his testiness by. but
on this occasion she replied that, as it
was hateful to him, he should never
hear her voice again. And he never
did nor did any other person ever hear
it, for, in spite of her husbands remorse
and remonstrances from friends and
relatives, MRS. Merrifield kept her
room, though she continued to act the
part of good wife and mother, fulfill
ing every duty scrupulously. She even
bore three children to her husband
after this VOW was taken. When COM
munication was absolutely necessary
with those about her she used slate,
but reduced language of signs to such
perfection in governing her household
and children that it was but seldom
that this slate was resorted to.
1t was thought that when her hus-
band died she would resume the use of
her speech, but she sat by his dying
bed, devoted and loving to the last, in
answer to his supplications that she
speak but word to him, wrote on the
slate with all the evidences of grief: 81
can not, can mott God forgive and
help me, can notp But whether it
was that she found it impossible to
break her will and her VOW, or that long
disuse had affected her organs so that
she really could not use them, could
not be arrived at; but her family in
clined to the latter belief, for it is said
that while on her own deathbed she
made distinct efforts to speak to her
children, dying with the seal of silence
unremoved from her lips.-Aug1tSta Ii

Colossus came third in the list of the

sections, and is said to have been the

days. Over twelve years work was
spent on this early monster, which
with all its grandeur was destined to
very short career Fifty-six years
after its completion, in the year 224
b. g., according to Pliny, this gigantic
emblematic figure was thrown down
by an earthquake. The Colossus stood
at the entrance to the harbor, with
each of its mighty feet on solid stone
foundations, ships in full sail passing
and repassing between the gigantic
legs. Deleperre, the historian, says
that it was not erected at the entrance
to the harbor, as stated by Pliny, but
that it stood on an open space near the
Pasha's seraglio. Still another writer
says that it was reconstructed during
the reign of the Emperor Vespasian,
and that after the Island of Rhodes
had been conquered by the Caliph 9th
man, in the seventh century of our
era, it was taken down and the metal
sold to Jew, who transported it to
Syria, caravan of $50 camels being
necessary to carry his purchase.
