LONDON, March 2l,-The legislative

from 10 to 12 years. The council has
also passed the factory bill prohibiting
the employment of children under 8 and
regulating the hours of women and
children under n,
In India little girls or 10 yeas old
are married, and it is held by pul dts
that the sacred writings require that the
marriage be consummate1 at the earliest
period of womanhood. Hence, there is
widespread fanatical and dangerous op-
position to the passage of the above
named bi raising the age of consent to
/, years, and permitting prosecution of
anyone who cohabits with a girl who
has not attained that age.
The natives maintain that the bill is a
violation Of the charter under which

pledging her not TO interfere with the
atiye religions of India. The advance

favors the bill. The above dispat h il

little way-I know it Is not FAR
To that dear nome where my beloved are,
And vet my faith grows weaker as L stand
A poor, lone pilgrim in a dreary land,
Where present pain the future bliss obscures,
And still my heart sits like 6 bird upon
The emptv nest. and mourns its treasures gone;
PIumed for their flight,
And vanished quite.
Ali me. where is the co~mfort-though l say
They have but journeyed on a little way?
A little way-at times they seem so near,
Their voices ever murmur at my ear;
To all my duties loving presence lend,
And with sweet ministry my steps attend
And bring my soul the luxury of tears
Twas where we met and parted company;
WHY should their gain be such a grief to me?

Thou heavy cross!
Dear Saviour, take the burden off, l pray,
And show me heaven Is but-a little way.
These sombre robes, these saddened faces, all
The bitterness and pain Of death recall.
Ali let me turn my face where'er l may,

And parting takes the marrow out of life,
secure in bliss, we held the golden chain
Which death, with scarce a warning, snaps atwam
And never more
Shall time restore
The broken links. Twas only Yesterday
They vanished from our sight-a little way.

Hoping and longing to extract some sweet

Increase of Deer in Vermont.

Several fine deer make Chittenden,
some twelve miles from Rutland,
their home. 1t was among the moun-
tains of that town that their progeni-
tors were placed some years ago.
While the descendants scattered
among the mountains to the north
and south, the largest number seem
to hover about their early home. A
herd of about half a dozen have Sc
lected their winter quarters in a sort
of a basin on the mountains in Chit
tenden. A quiet, tame deer has, dur
ing the summer, herded with the cat
tie of John Baird, a farmer Of that
town. During the day the animal
would 90 off into the woodland to
browse, but at night rarely failed to
come home with the Ows He seems
to know the family, and shows no
fear, but when a stranger appears he
pricks up his ears and starts on a full
gallon for the wooden mountain side.
The laws of Vermont are very
stringent for the protection Of deer.
But one has ever been known to be
killed, and that was shot in Mendon
about a year ago and the carcass
sold to Rutland marketmen and offer
ed for sale. The party claimed ig-
norance of the law. but he was ar
raigned in the municipal court and
fined $40 and cost. The first animals
were purchased by Gen W. Y. W.
Ripley some ten years ago and left
to roam among the mountains, and
are evidently yearly ~increasing.- Ben

The Adventure of Three ChlIdren
and a California Lion.

| whispered to the other children
to lie still because we had no place
to hide in, nor was it any use to try
to climb a tree. for the California
lion will climb like a cat. So we saw
the lion finish his meal on our OK. 1t
grew very light, near sunrise, before
he took any notice of US, where we
sat under the Ox-cart. AS soon as he
saw us he walked up very close, with
a curious wondering expression on
his face. and went all about the cart,
looking up over, and making a purr-
ing sound. We sat close and had
our arms about one another, but we
did not say a word. He then came
mn so close that | felt his breath on
me, and finally he put his nose against
nv ankle. 1 had no stockings on,
ONLY homemade shoes, and his nose
felt very strange, and made me ex-
pect to be eaten up at once. But L
thought it best to lie still and not cry
out.
After what seemed a long time, the
lion went back and lay down by the
dead OK, about a hundred feet dis
tant, keeping his eyes on us most of
the time. He sometimes walked
around the OK; then he went off a
little way to a spring; then he came
back and walked around the cart. At
last he lay down again by the ox,shut
his eyes, and seemed asleep. The
sun was now high, and we were very
hungry and thirsty, but when we
moved a little to rest our limbs the
lion opened his eyes and looked very
bad.
We Law there under the cart all the
morning, and until about the middle
of the afternoon, and the lion lay I'M
der the shade of a tree, watched us,
ate some beef, and vent to the spring
as often as he chose. Then about
three o'clock mother and Jose, the pc
on came down from the coast way,and
when they were o u the ridge, they
could look into the canon and see the
whole situation at a glance, the
lion, the dead OK, the cart, and the
three of. us huddled together under
it. Jose ran forward and fired two
shots, w~ounding the lion, but he got
away in the rocks.
