A story Is told of a wise mother who,
intention of running away from home
because something had vexed him, met
the announcement with calm acquies-
cence. She packed q small bundle for
him to take away, suggested the next
town as good place to stay for the
night, and added: "Of course, Harry,
if you really want to go, you may;
but you don't know how much l shall
miss you" The youngster picked up
his bundle, went slowly down the path
to the front gate, opened ii, then turned
and ran for the house, where he flung
his arms about his mothers neck and
burst into tears. The treatment was
not needed again. If that mother had
met the boys plan with tears, re-
prOaches, anger, or punishment, the
chances are that she would either have
had a spoiled child on her hands, or
awakened some morning a few years
Later to find that her son had really
run away. The sense of freedom is a
most valuable asset In dealing with
Young America. The child who is
continually thwarted in unimportant
things gets in the habit Of fighting for
what he thinks are his rights, whether
he Is justified in the assumption or not.
There are some children who are
brought up on the principle that 1t is
equally heinous to tell a lie, to come
into the house without wiping ones
feet and to fail In lesson. Such chill
dren are apt to develop a somewhat
crooked moral perspective, which does
not not always get Strengthened out
in years to come. The boy who fig
ures in the above story had read Of
runaways, and formed not very def
mite idea of the freedom and peace
which such a course entails. He had
not thought about the other aspect Of
It at all. His mother brought him face
to face with the realities and let him
choose for himself at the same time in
dicating clearly what she thought ii
was best for him to do. 1t did not take
long for him to discover that she was
wiser than he.

German naturalists are now studying

Garden at Berlin. 1t is an ant bear,
but not an ordinary one, being a speci-

Its habits are those of the common ant
bear, but in color and formation is diff
ferent from it in many respects: 1t is
said that there is no other specimen
of this variety in Europe, and it is not
thought likely that any other speci-
men will be found very soon, for the
one at Berlin was only trapped by
chance, and although several men have
searched closely through the district
where it was caught they have not as
yet discovered the slightest trace Of

"Move my armchair, faithful Pompey,
In the sunshine, bright and strong,
For this world is fading, Pompey--
Massa won't be with you long;
And l fain would hear the south wind
Bring once more the sound to me
Or the wavelets softly breaking
On the shores of Tennessee.
"Mournful though the ripples murmur
AS they still the story tell,
How no vessels float the banner
That I've loved so long and we'll;
! shall listen to their music,
Dreaming that again l see
Stars and Stripes on sloop and shallop
Sailing up the Tennessee.
And, Pompey, while old massa's waiting
For Deaths last dispatch to come
II that exiled starry banner
Should come proudly sailing home,
You shall greet it, slave no longer;
Voice and hand shall both be free
That shout and point to Union colorn
On the waves of Tennessee"
"Massa's berry kind to Pompey,
out Oit udIhey udppy mere,
Where he's tended corn and cotton
For desc many a long-gone year.
Over yonder missis' sleeping
No one tends her grave like me;
Mebbe she would miss the flowers
She used to love in Tennessee.
"'Pears like she was watching massa,
If Pompey should beside him stay
Mebbe she'd remember better
How for him she used to pray
Telling him that way up yonder
White as snow his soul would be
Ransomed by the Lord of heaven,
Out of life in Tennessee"
Silently the tears were rolling
Down the poor old dusky face,
AS he stepped behind his master.
In his long-accustomed place,
Then a silence fell around them
AS they gazed on rock and tree,
Pictured in the placid waters
OF the rolling Tennessee.

Master dreaming of the battle.


Where he fought by Marions side
Where he bid the naughty Tarleton
Stoop his lordly crest of pride;
Man remembering how yon sleeper
Once he held upon his knee,
Ere she loved the gallant soldier,
Ralph Vervain, Of Tennessee.
Still the south wind fondly fingers
Mid the veterans silver hair;
Still the bondman, close beside him,
Stands behind the old armchair;
With his dark-hued hand uplifted
Shading eyes, he bends to see
Where the woodland, boldly jutting
Turns aside the Tennessee.
Thus he watches; cloud-born shadows
Glide from tree to mountain crest;
Softly creeping, aye and ever,
To the rivers yielding breast.
Ha! above the foliage yonder
Something hutters wild and freel
"Massa! Massa! Hallelujah!
The flags come back to Tennesseer
"Pompey, hold me on your shoulder,
Help me stand on foot once more,
That l may salute the colors
AS they pass my cabin door;
Here's the paper signed that frees you
Give a freeman's shout with me!
God and Unionr be our watchword
Evermore in Tennessee!
Then the trembling voice grew fainter
And the limbs refused to stand;
One prayer to Jesus-and the soldier
Glided to that better land.
When the flag went down the river
Man and master both were free.
While the rng-dOve's note was mingled
With the ripping Tennessee.
