THE LITTLE FOLKS.
George Nidiyer.

Mon have done brave deeds,
And bards have sung them we'll;
of George Nidiver
Now the talo will tell.
In California mountains,
A hunter bold was he;
Keen his eye and sure his aim
As any one should see.
little Indian boy
Followed him everywhere,
Eager to share the hunters Joy,
The hunters meal to share.
And when the bird or deer
Fell by the hunters skill,
The boy was always near
To help with right goodwill.
One day as through the cleft
Between two mountains steep
Shut in both right and left,
Their qucsting way they keep.
They see two grizzly bears,I
With hunger fierce and fell,
Rush ut them unawares,
Right down the narrow dell.
The boy turned round with screams,
And ran with terror wild;
One of the pair of savage beasts
Pursued the shrieking child.
The hunter rails his gun
He knew ono charge was all
And through the boys pursuing foe
He sent his only ball.
The other bear, now furious,
Came on with dreadful paco'
The hunter stood unarmed,
And met him face to face.
l say unarmed he stood,
Against those frightful pawsi
For rifle butt or club of wood
Could stand no more than strawss
George Nidiver stood still,
And looked him in the face;
Tho wild beast stopped amazed,
Then came with slackcninG pace.
Still firm the hunter stood,
Although his heart beat high;
Again the creature stopped,
And Ealed with wondering eye.
The hunter mot his gaze,
Nor yet an inch gave way;
The bear turned slowly round,
And slowly moved away.
What thoughts were in his mind
1t would he hard to spell;
What thoughts were in George Nidiver
l rather guess than tell.
Be sure that rifles aim,
Swift choice of generous part,
Showed, in its passing CLEAN,
The depths of IL brave heart.
