The gravestone which now marks the
last resting place of John Bright, in the
Friends graveyard at Rochdale, is re-
markable for neatness and simplicity,
and just in keeping with what he desired
should be placed at the head of the
grave of his late wife. 1t is white mar
BILE, but only two feet six inches in length
and two feet in breadth, bordered with a
plain groove all round the margin, and
the lettering is of plain English charac-
tiers, the wording being: John Bright,
died March "a, 1889. Age, II years"
This simple record and unadorned stone
lies horizontally at the head Of the grave,
and soft green grass now covers the re-
mainder. A similar slab Of marble, of
the same size, now marks the place by
his side where his late wife peacefully
reposes, bearing the inscription; "Marga-
ret Elizabeth Bright, died May 10, 1878.
Age, 81 years."-New York Tribune.

A Sandersville (Ga.) paper tells this
story: A few days ago a gentleman was
driving in the vicinity of Longs bridge.
he firmly held the lines over a splendid
mare, while the mares colt contentedly
trotted along behind. When Buffalo
creek was reached, repairs being made
on the bridge, the gentleman found that
he would have to DIVE through the
channel, which was unusually deep, al
most swimming, and would swim the
colt. The mare was driven in, and the
colt, not desiring a test of his swimming
qualities, reared up on his tender hind
legs, gently placed his fore ones on the
box Of the vehicle, back of the buggy
seat, and was safely drawn across the
muddy stream, When the opposite bank
was reached, he gracefully bounded of
with a whinny of satisfaction.

We are put here to secrete something
everlasting out Of nature. The .oppor.
tnnities are rich, but it is the capacity,
the fiber. that determines whether we
shall do it, for nature contributes to our
life, not primarily according 10 its
bounty, but according to the flaments
in US that will solicit and incorporate its
bounty. One man absorbs mathematical
truth out of the heavens, while side by
side with him a mortal exists that organ
ICES nothing grand or stately into his
constitution-just as the mushroom can
do no more than hoist its plated parasol
out of the same ground, and in the same
sunlight, from which the oak seed i'm
bibed slowly its tremendous strength.
Another man draws to himself the wis
dom printed in the granite leaves be-
meath us, which earthquakes nave turn
ed for our benefit, and shows that he has
ennobled his life by it. A third wins a
divine thought, limited in the old bones
which the globe entombs; while a fourth
fastens on history, and compels the laws
of it to filter through facts into his
reason.-Starr King.

The Swedish Lapps live entirely with,
by and upon their reindeer. A Lapp who
owns a thousand deer lisa very rich man;
but as taxes are assessed upon the num-
Der of deer, he is inclined to under esti-
mate his herd. The most dangerous me
my to the herd is the wolf, who, If dis
posed, can kill thirty deer in n night. A
band of wolves can make a rich Lapp
poor.
When the snow is deep and soft, and it
is announced that wolf tracks have beer
seen in the neighborhood of the deer, the
swiftest runners on snow shoes prepare
for an exciting chase.
The wolf may nave a start Of a mile or
two, but the track it leaves in the deep,
soft snow is so prominent hat the hunt
ers can follow it at their best speed. The
wolf, though he may run fast, has but a
slight chance of escaping the short men
who, on SNOW shoes, rush through the
wood, dart down steep hills, and jump
from lodges several yards in height.
Each hunter does his best to outrun
the others, for the wolf belongs to the
Lapp who strikes the first blow. As
soon as the leading hunter is close enough
to the wolf, he gives it a heavy blow
across the loins with his strong, spiked
snow shoe staff. II there are other
wolves to be pursued, he kills it outright;
il not, lie disables it, and waits till all
the hunters have arrived, before giving
the death stroke.-Youth's Companion.

The bearing Of the old couple toward
zach other when the husband was nearly
an octogenarian and the wife not far be-
hind him was that of the old school.
Mr.. Davis was as d~eferential to his wife
as if she were presiding at a tournament
in the olden time. Mr.. James Redpath
once visited the Davis home at Beauvoir,
and thus spoke of that home life:
MRS. Davis is several years younger
than her husband, but does not fear to
speak of herself as an old lady She is
quite as noteworthy a parsonage as her
husband-a woman of large brain and
great heart, highly educated, of marvel
Gus insight into character, with the rar-
est conversational powers, bright, brill
liant, witty and sympathetic. Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis have been married forty
years; but their honeymoon does not
seem to have reached its first quarter
yet, and certainly there has never been
an eclipse in its history. 1t vas delight
full to be a witness of their mutual affec-
ton and to hear them address each other"

THE RED RIVER voYAeeuR.

Out and in the river Is winding
The links OF its long, red chain,
Through the belts OF the dusky pine land
And gusty leagues Of plain
Only at times a smoke wreath
With the drifting cloud rack joins
The smoke Of the hunting lodges
OF the wild A-ssinibolnesl
DreArily blows the north wind
From the land of ice and snow;
The eyes that look are weary,
And heavy the hands that row.
IND with one foot on the water.
And one upon the shore,
The Angel of Shadow gives warning
That day shall % no NOR
Is 1t the clang OF Wild geese'
Is IL the Indians yen
That lends TO the voice of the north wind
The tones OF a far OF beni
The voyageur smiles as he listens
To the sound that grows Apace,
Well he knows the vesper ringing
OF the bells OF st. BonifAce-
The bells OF the Roman mission.
That call from their turres twain
To the boAtmAn on the river.
To the hunter on the plain
Even so on our mortal journey,
The bitter north winds blow.
And thus upon lies Red River
Our hearts as oarsmen, row
And when the Angel OF Shadow
Rests his feet on wAvea and shore.
And our eyes grow dim with watching,
And our hearts faint at the oar.
