Neal Hill, colored, Of New Kent,
Va, in his efforts TO secure a Christ
mas deer, had a startling experience
which he will never forget The young
huntsmen Of the county. early In the
morning started up magnificent
deer One of them soon fired a shot
at II, which caused the animal to
drop. Hin. supposing the buck to be
dead. jumped on his back and drove
his knife into him. With new life the
deer started off on a mad run with
the negro on his back. The old man
clung for dear life and cried out for
help.
II was not a minutes run to a mill
pond which the infuriated animal en-.
tered with the negro still hanging to
II. Some fishermen In a boat made
for the scene. The deer and the old
negro had sunk. The young men,
though, stood ready on the PROV Of
their boat to strike the bucks head
when II should appear above the wat
er. In moment a dark object shone
in the water. and with terrific force
the boatmen struck the old negro on
the head, supposlng # was the deer.
The old man quickly went to the
bottom Of the pond and the deer made
bis escape. When Hin was rescued
he expressed his regret that be had
lost his Christmas meat.

WISE WORDS.

Brutes leave ingratitude to man.
They that know no evil win suspect
none.
Negative virtue IS peace; positive
virtue, strife.
A short absence enhances affection;
long one ksiis it.
God gives talent; man alone has the
power TO confer fame
To be a wise man Is to be esteemed.
but to be a witty one is to be envied.
Safety has more power to wreck
happiness than love has to encompass
1t.
When desperate ills demand a speedy
cure dlstrust is cowardice and pru-
dence folly.
There is ever a battle going on be-
tween the idle man and Time, the OBJ.
ject being to kin each other.
A word OF kindness Is seldom spoken
In vain. while witty sayings are as
easily lost as the pearls slipping from
a broken string.
It may not be ours TO utter convinc-
ing arguments, but It may be ours 20
live holy lives Il may not be ours
to be subtle and learned and logical.
but IL may be ours 70 be noble and
sweet and pure.
There is nothing like the first glance
we get at duty. before there has been
any special pleading Of our affections
or inclinations. Duty Is never uncer-
tain at first. II is only after we have
got involved in the mazes and sophls-
tries Of wishing that things were 9TH
erwise than they are that II seems In
