sound which has ever in the course of
a long life greeted my ears. 1t was
the short, sharp bark of Hector.
Isle him-sic him, Hector!' shouted,
in paroxysm of delight
And then sadly recollected that the
animal was only sheep-dog, and
would probably turn tail the moment
he caught sight Of the panther.
But did the noble fellow great in
justice or underestimated the influence
Of his backwoods training, for with
out seconds hesitation he dashed
right in and began to snap at the heels
of his terrible foe.
The agile beast turned like flash,
and attempted to seize his puny antag-
onist, but Hector was nearly as quick
at he, and lodged safely behind tree.
Then, when the now furious panther
made toward me again, the brave little
pcollie once more nipped him.
But this time the panther was pre-
pared for the assault. and, wheeling
with incredible swiftness, he made one
tremendous, vaulting leap, and came
down on poor Hector before he corld
reach his shelter, clutched him with
teeth and claws, and, though the dog
gamely buried his. own fangs in the
tawny throat, would doubtless have
quickly killed him if left alone. =
But /, utterly unable to bear this
sight, instantly took advantage of the
diversion, kicked myself ont of cover,
threw open the pan of my gun, pulled
the stopper Of the powder-horn with
my teeth, reprinted the lock, all in the
twinkling Of an eye, and while the
puma was intent on shaking the dog
free of his throat, stepped close up, put
the muzzle against his ear, and once
more pulled the trigger.
The flint sparks touched the dry
powder, loud report followed, and
before its echoes died away the panther
lay dead on the ground, with one-half
the top of his head blown off
Then tenderly picked up my faith
full friend and savior, and found, to my
infinite joy, that he was not very

age in fastening to the panther's throat

termined that we would stay where we

so grateful to Hector that, on leaving

But alas in spite of all my care,

Into the rudely-fitted pan. and the
printing failed to ignite, though the
flint shed upon its dampened surface

The panther, however, showed
greater intelligence than had reck4

Its Introduction and Value Discussed by
fract'eai Apiarist'
AT the Michigan state bee-keepers
convention Nj. II. Hunt said: The in
teiligent use OF comb foundation has
added largely to the pleasures and
proht OF Bookkeeping, and its impor-
lance is second only to the movable
frame. The first practical foundation
was made in 1874, and the demand has
increased so rapidly that at times there
has been scarcely enough beeswax to
produce 1t. In 1878 it was said; 1--WE
can hardly conceive what an immense
business this is soon to become" Dur
ing the first years of its introduction a
large proportion OF poor comb founda-
ton was sent out, but this did not seem
to affect the demand. Several attempts
have been made to make comb with

His nasal utterapce and his dismal face,

The genuine Yankee-not the hateful clan
Whose lives Degenerate desccrete the name:
Whose greatest glory - their deepest shame;

Whose moral vision suffers an eclipse
From every shilling that, in passing by,
Fills with It's disk the orbit OF his eye IA

Nor yet the image Of perfect saint,
But true man IN whom the eye may trace
The genuine features Of the plastic race.
And now, TO name his faults and foibles FIRST,
And, true to candor, brayely tell the worst,
Not all unmixed, Il rightly understood,
With fair proportions Of tho wise and good.
He's fond OF money; loves bargain well;
Has nothing round him that he would not sell
For consideration--save his wife,
Children and honor, liberty and lifei
He pays his debts, yet, bargaining for pelf,
He rarely gives the doubt against himself
IL fond Of .cyphering,, yet, when all Is done,
His magic number still Ii Number Onel"
Wherever he wanders, voluble or sly,
There's "spec ulation" In his dreamy eye;

REGULAR EXERCISE.
1t Prepares the system for Special De

1t Prepares the System for Special De-
mands and Emergencies.
Only systematic exercise prepares us
for those emergencies upon which the
prolongation of life often depends A
citizen who despised exercise was
awakened at midnight by cry of fire;
hastily raising window and looking
out he saw the building next his own
was in flames. He hurried about the
house gathering his valuables, carried
them into the street and fell dead. A
clergyman, finding himself left by a
train and liable to miss an important
appointment, carried carpet bag the
short distance of three miles, reached
his destination breathless, and in a
few moments died
No one can foresee when an unusual
exertion will be demanded of him,
either in self preservation or in aid of
those whom he loves or in some deed
of common humanity or jointly with
his neighbors and townsmen in pre-
serving their homes from destruction
by fire. Had exercise no other value
than that of keeping men in condition
to endure unusual strain, it would be
an ample compensation for the time
and exertion it requires,
But it is pleasure; it is the best i'm.
,provement of leisure; it is a promoter
of good morals, and closely connected
with health and longevity. William
Cullen Bryant continued his exercises
till he was past eighty. Mr.. Gladstone
never omits his bath and exercise.
John Ericsson, though working twelve
or fifteen hours day, always walked
the streets of New York from ten
o'clock in the evening until midnight
