1t may be doubted whether those of
us who are able to obtain sufficient
food without difficulty can appreciate
the craving for sustenance experienced
by sea birds and other animals, which
have often, by force of circumstances,
to fast for long periods. Gulls will
eat until they cannot fly, and when
they find pilchards or board boat
will continue their feast until they can
only lie down and gasp. \ superlluity
of food comes ut such long intervals
that when it does como the avian in
tellect reels at the prospect, and what
seems horn Of plenty brings dire dis
aster. Seeing that gulls and gannets
know no better, we are not surprised
to hear Of q John Dory. stuffed 10 the
very mouth, floating helplessly on the
surface of the water. unable TO escape
from a flock of sea birds which have
deprived it of its eyesight and will
quickly take away its life.
A snake which thrusts its head
through the paiings to seize an unwary
frog. and finds itself unable to draw
back again with the frog in its throat,
has wit enough to disgorgc the am
phibian, and to deity draw 1t through
by the leg so as to swallow it on the
safe side Of the palings; but probably
q snake which happened to be on the
wrong side in company with Il frog
would consume it on the premises and
so render itself incapable of wrlggllng
through the bdrs.-Longman's Maya

WISE WORDS.

Uniformity is not unity.
Character needs no safe.
Patience produces peace.
Self-saving is soul-losing.
Aesthetics are not ethics.
A teacher is not a taskmaster
Our wills determine our work.
Paint does not make painter.
Preparation precedes progress.
Mercy is the badge of majesty.
Faith overcomes many failures.
Hope is the heart Of aspiration.
Labor is for man and not man for
labor
The poor in spirit are rich in possi-
bilities.
Pleasant circumstances may rct be
ours, but we can have sunny souls.
The green wood Of innocence burns
quickly amongst the dry sticks of vice.
Solitude is as necessary to the soul
as con1panionship is to the character.
The only way some people expect
peace is by making their own opinions
prevail.
1t is easier to sweep off the snow Of
an act than to break the ice of habits.

NO LONGER YOUNG.

While crows feet vet have spared the face
And rime of time has left no trace
Upon the locks which still with grace
Above our brows have chung.
We find our pace is growing slow,
And, as we view the passing show,
There comes time when we must know
That we're no longer young.
There comes a time when children born
Long since our childhood's locks were
shorn,
The victor's bays we missed, have worn
To praises freely sung;
And while these acclamations flow,
Truths whisper in the ear sounds low
That it is time forgus to know
That we're no longer young.
That it is time to bear the pain
OF learning that we must remain
Tenceforth an exile from youth reign
In ages desert flung
Iut e'er we stagger from this blow,
Which adds to life another woe
MAY fortune grant us sense to know
When we're no longer Young!

KEEP AWAY FROM PUT-oFF TOWN
Did you ever go to Put-Of Town,
Where the houses are old and tumble
down,
And everything tarries and everything
drags,
With dirty streets and people in rags?
On the streets of Slow lives Old Man Wait
And his two little boys, named Linger and
Late,
With unclean hands and tousled hair,
And naughty sister named Don't Care.
To play all day in Tarry Street.
Leaving your errands for other feet;
To stop, or shirk, or linger, or frown,
Is the nearest way to this old town.

of the Indians as farmers has been very
slow and unsatisfactory to the govern
ment, there are a great many of the
members of this reservation who have
from one hundred to FIVE hundred acres
of land under cultivation on their
farms.
Prospective railroads through this
reservation will be an inducement here
after for the reservation farmers to en-
large their farms, since the prospects
of being able to sell their farm pro-
duce at railroad stations will be equally
as good as to haul this produce from

Brief HistoT, Of Events Which Lead TO
Its Establishment.

Under a misappoehension whicn
extended among the Pillager Chip!
pewas, Hole-in-the-day.; the: cele-
brated chief, forfeited his life.
Without going into ,the details of the
causes which led to the uprising among
the Chippewas in 1862, we will merely
state that there was sufficient provoca-
ton in the minds of the Indians to en-
able the late celebrated chief. Hole-in-
the-day, to induce them to take up arms
against the government.
Although Hole-in-t the-Day has always
been charged with being the ssinstigator Of
the uprising. it is certain that he did not
commence hostilitics until an attempt
was made by army officers Ito arrest
him.
The first intimation the public got that
the Chippewas contemplated an outbreak
was when Lieut.. Forbes, now resi-
dent of Albert Lea, with squad of sol
diers, made an attempt to arrest Hole

Wing.
But the writer hereof, who was then
boy of nine years of age, met Hole
in-the-day and his escort or brave,
Quayse-good, short distance from the
village, and upon being questioned by
the chief, told him, that the soldiers
were at Crow Wing. Quay-se-good had
proceeded on his way without stopping.
and when Hole-in-the-d got through
conversing with us, he went to the hill
overlooking the village, and from there
saw the. soldiers arresting the, former.
But the soldiers also got sight of him,
and Immediately started in pursuit of
him. He took trail near the river
which led to his house, and which mad,
the distance nearly one mile nearer than
by the wagon road, and he succeeded in
reaching home, and removing his fam
lily to a place of safety before the SOL
diers arrived there. When the latter
got to the house they saw Hole-in-the-
day crossing the Mississippi river in his
private ferry boat. They rushed to the
river bank and got there just as the boat
touched the opposite shore. Lieut..
Forbes ordered him to stop, but paying
no attention to this, the soldiers were
ordered to fire at him, which they did
without effect.

and returned the shots, gave a war
whoop, and disappeared over hill

Serenity Of Character.

Who does not love tranquil heart, a
sweet-tempered, balanced life? 1t does not
matter whether it rains or Shines or what
misfortunes come to those possessing these
blessings, for they are always sweet, serene
and calm. That exquisite poise of cSarac-
ter which we call serenity is the last les
son of culture; it is the Towering of life,
the fruitage of the soul. 1t is precious as
wisdom, more to be desired than gold.
yea, than even fine gold How contempti-
bic mere money-weaith looks in compari-
son with serene life-a life which dwells
in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves,
bevond the reach of tempests, in the eter-
nal calm How many people we know who
sour their lives. who ruin all that is sweet
and beautiful by. explosive tempers, who
destroy their poise of character by bad
blood! In fact, it is question whether
the great majority of people do not ruin
their lives and mar their happiness by
lack of self-control. How few people we
meet in life who are well balanced. who
have that exquisite poise which is charac-
teristic of the finished character!
