IN 1855 Mr.. Lincoln and myself
were travelling by buggy from Wood
ford County Court to Bloomington, ILL.,.
and in passing through little grove,
we suddenly heard the terrific squeal-
ing of little Pig near by us. Quick
as thought Mr.. Lincoln lcaped out Of
the buggy, seized a club. pounced upon
the old SOW, and beat her Justify; she
was in the act of eating one OF her
Young ones. Thus he saved the pig.
and then remarked. By jing! the un-
natural old brute shall not devour her
own progeny, This. think, was MS

But Mr.. Wickizer gives us another
story. which most happily illustrates
the readiness of Mr. Lincoln's wit:

Of no great Importance; but the at
torney on the other side, Mr.. s..
voune LAWYER of fine abilities (now
iudee of the Supreme Court OF the
State). was always very sensitive
,bout being beaten, and in this case
manifested unusual zeal and interest.
The case lasted until late at night
when it was finally submitted to the
iury. Mr.. S. spent sleepless night
in anxiety, and early next morning
learned, to his great chagrin, that ne
NOD Inst the case. Mr.. Lincoln met
him at the court house, and asked him
what had become OF his case. win

cboIv tone, Mr.. s. said. It's gone 10

"Tn see, SIR" replied the minion,
going into the Senator's sanctum.
Mr.. Depew glanced at the card and
shook his head in the negative. Al
though the upper part of his body
was hidden from public view by his
desk, the Senator's legs were plainly
visible as he sat with his side toward
the desk.
"Mr. Depew is OUT" said the at

He is gone on the mountain,
He is lost to the forest,
Like a summer-dried fountain
When our need was the sorest.
The font, r~eappearing,
From the raindrops shall borrow,
But to us somes no cheering,
To Duncan tomorrow.
The hand of the reaper
Takes the ears that are hoary;
But the voice of the weeper
Walls manhood in glory.
The autumn winds rushing
Watt the leaves that are s~earest,
But one flower was in flushing
When blighting was nearest.
Fleet foot on the %correi,
Sage counsel In cumber,
Red hand in the foray,
How sound is thy slumberl
Like the dew on the mountain,
Like the foam on the river,
Like the bubble on the fountain,
Thou art gone, and forever!

among the bulrushes. One, you see,
is about three feet high, and four
feet across at the base. It is made
chiefly of tufts of moss, mud, leaves
and grass, with sticks laid In be-
tween to give it strength. The walls
are very thick, and inside is a little
chamber, where the muskrats sleep
on a bed of leaves or The
doorways are under the water, and
the rats are obliged to dive when
they wish to go in or out.
There is another house over by
the farther shore which has just been
begun, and it would pay to come on
the first moonlight night and watch
the muskrats building. We could
sit under the willow-tree, and see
everything without being seen. We
would do well to bring our field
glasses with us, and also a water
proof coat or blanket to sit upon.
I have often watched them in this
way, and for the benefit of those who
will not be able to come I will tell
you about what would take place.
For some time after reaching the
willow-tree we would probably see
nothing, the muskrats having heard
our approaching footsteps, and sunk
noiselessly into the water. But if
we wait a while we would see a gilt
tering line of light break out from
the shore-the wake of a swimming
muskrat In the moonlight; presently
another line and another, and then
the brown, furry workmen would be-
gin pushing their way through the
water, some with sticks, others with
leaves, and others with moss. Up
the sides of the partly finished dwell
ing they Chamber, putting on layer
after layer of the building material,
which, having become wet during
transportation, is SOC cemented to-
gether by the frosty air. If, in our
eagerness to see all that is going
on, we should carelessly tread upon
the dry reeds or upon a dead stick,
the muskrats would slap the surface
of the pond with their tails, and
dive with a splash into the dancing
water, and we might wait all night,
perhaps, without seeing so much as
the nose of one again.
But it is getting late, and we must
go. Next month we shall take
first winter walk together, and see
how the wild creatures are affected
by the cold weather Ernest Harold
Baynes, in Woman's Home Compan-
len for November.
