treaded their way toward the cabin
The dog. sleeping with one eye open
as Is his won't, seemed to divine their
coming as they drew near. Sitting ur
on his launches, he glanced about as
IL in dread.
Nearer and nearer came the stealthy
creatures and the men saw unmistaka
bly, that they were porcupines. Sew.
enteen there were, and in twos and
threes they ambled forward, with a
large one acting as leader. Almost
breathless with surprise, the men. in
the cabin waited.
The dog, catching sight of them,
whined with a note of fear that even q
brown bear could not inspire.
Steadily the procession of porcupines
advanced, and the dog, retrsating to
the doorstep, began to CULVER with ap.
prehension. Undoubtedly he had seen
these foes before. Marching closer, the
curious little visitors began to encircls
the dog. Suddenly, unable to stand
the suspense any longer. he barked
Shrilly and rushed at the nearest porcu.
pine.
Instantly it rolled itself tightly into
ball, as did most OF the others, and
Snoozer's skin was punctured severely
by the sharp quilts. Yelping with pain,
he retreated, and after a few seconds,
unrolling themselves, the porcupines
drew near with merciless inten tions.
Snoozer might have leaped past them
and fled away in the night, but per.
haps the lonely mountains at night,
with their strange inhabitants, filled
him with terror and induced him to sui.
fer at the doorstep of his master in
preference. Closer the porcupines
came, until the covering dog was
hemmed upon the log sill.
Within six feet was the inpregp able
circle of bristles, and what the result
would have been will never be known
for one Of the men, whose warm heart
was wrung by the pitifuI whimperine
of the faithful dog, which never feared
bears, snatched six-shooter from the
wall and through the window shot the
nearest porcupine. A yelp of delight
succeeded the report of the pistol
and there was a sudden scattering oil
porcupines and Snoozer was never
again compelled to sleep outside the
house.

And smile as though the draft were sweet

To feel the dagger-thrust of wounded pride,
Yet to the bosom clasp the steel more

To check the passion OF the beast-re-
venge-
Yet seemingly do naught but raise thy
hand;
To keep sure silence when the hot words
burn
At wrong. before the soul can under
stand:
To rise a moment from the mortal raire
To see things past and present aud to
come;
To grant the heavenliest blessing earth be-
slows
With heart and soul-nor hold the lips
long dumb;
Ever to seem oblivious of the hurt
Thoughin remembrance IL may ever live
Q, human soul, so often torn and tried,
All this II means sincerely to forgive!
