He was a suburban amateur garden
er, whose pride in his tiny garden was
apt TO bore his friends.
The other day he had taken a visi-
tor round his retreat, eXpatiating at
length on the four rose trees, pocket
shrubbery, half-inch fountain jet,
with its little basin and pair of gold
fish, and the summer-house which
would almost admit two persons at once.
The long-suffering endured it all
without retort, until he was asked to
admire a 20-foot vista" Then the
worm turned.
"The grounds are certainly very
handsome" he said, "but l think
you might improve them considerably"
How so?" questioned the owner,

wounded pride.

her on. yet keeping a pac. behind &c
as to guard her. The distance was
but short and the Indians, seeing they
could not capture them, stopped and
began to fire. The bullets whizzei
BY the ears of the fugitives, but they
remained unhurt. The woman reached
the gate before them and would have
shut it in their faces had not Renee
called to her to wait. Once inside, the
two fastened il securely Renee has
tened to find the men, but no one was
in sight. There was little time to lose,
so after sending the boy to find them
she set about herself to inspect the
defenses. 1t had been so long since
any danger had presented itself that
they had been allowed to get out Of
repair. She found that several of the
palisades had fallen down, leaving
openings through which the enemy
could easily enter. BY this time the
boy had returned. bringing with him
only his brother and the octogenarian,
both of them willing but feeble hands.
The soldiers and the women were not
to be found. With encouraging words
Renee made use of the material she
had, and with their assistance soon
raised the fallen palisades into posi-
tion again. She then directed one Of
the boys to fire at the Indians from
the lOopholes, while the other beat
drum violently. She then went to the
blockhoUse where the ammunition was
stored and there found the two soldiers
huddled up in dark corner with the
women folks, one hiding his head, the
other with lighted match in his hand.
What are you doing?" Renee cried.
Il shall light the powder and blow
us all up" was the reply.
you are a miserable coward! Leave
this place!' was her contemptuous
command.
Finding herself thus deserted of all
expected aid, Renee's spirit rose, SO,
throwing aside her head-gear, she put
on a mans hat and, seizing a gun,
called to the two boys, saying: Let
us fight to the death. We are fighting
for our country and our religion. Re-
member that gentlemen are born to
shed their blood for the service of God
and the king. l, too, am of gentle

A CONFESSION.

Do you remember, little wife,
How years ago We two together
Saw naught but love illumine life
In sunny days or winter weather?
Do you remember how we two
Would stare into each others eyes,
Till all the earth grew heavenly blue.
And speeCh was lost in happy signs?
Do you anoC2er thing recall,
That used - happen often then;
How, simply passing in the hail.
We'd stop to smile and kiss again?
Do you remember how | sat
And, reading held your hand in mine,
Caressing it with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed line?
Do you recall while at the play
Through hours of agony we tarried
The lovers griefs brought MS dismay:
Oh, we rejoiced when they were mar
ried.
All me, twas years and years ago
When all this happened that l sing,
And many time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes of spring.
And now-oh, nonsense. let us tell;
A fig for laugh of maids or mem
You'll hide your bushes? I'll not. Well
We're ten times worse than we were
then.

the north. Often two or more of these
patches met, coalesced, then moved
ahead again, growing more wary as
the river was approached, hiding be-
hind rotting logs and beneath tangled
undeTbrush all the day and issuing
forth at night to resume the broken
journey. At last the outer edge of
the pest reached the brink of the st.
Lawrence and peered furtively from
behind the parted foliage for any sight
of life upon the surface of the water
then retreated into the darkness, there
to skulll in fiendish preparation.
Along the shore it sped opposite Que
bee and down the river towards the
sea.
One night the settlers heard the
moaning of the wind and the splash
ing of the spring rain, and smiled and
thought how needful it was for the
tender, growing crops But men
neither smile nor tend crops when the
red plague is abroad. That night the
stream was crossed and the unseen
scOurge spread itself through the
miasmatic bogs, hiding within the dark
recesses of the virgin woods, all si-
lent, mysterious, noXious. Then when
all the clearings had been surrounded
and the darkness of a cloudy night
had rendered it a fit season for things
foul and Internal, the pestilence lying
dormant in the hidden places of the
land awoke
There was the silence of death with
out; no wind stirred the leaves; the
very Wild beasts had fled in terror,
leaving their haunts vacant and
dumb; the earth seemed to shudder
as if in horror of the grewsome flood
her surface would have to drink that
night. A red light flashed its glare
upon the darkness; a savage yell
broke the tension of the awful mo-
ment; a woman's scream pierced the
very heart of nature; a stream Of
| blood cleaned near the flames-the
red plague had come, and the woods
were filled with the fitting forms of
human demons as the bloodthirsty
Iroquois rushed to the attack.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Preferred By Circus Proprietors TO
Bill Boards And Circulars.

The announcement made several
weeks ago that Barnum & Bailey
and the Riuglings, the great circns
proprietors of the country, haa
come to the decision hereafter to
abandon the huge billboards ana
eolored lithograph method OF ad'
vertising and rely solely on the
newspapers for publicity, seems TO
he fully confirmed. 1t has been
found that while the great posters
we're very expensive, taking ire
mendous force to get them on the
walls, they were easily destroyed
and at best appealed only to the
eve of the passer.by. The newspa-
per. on the contrary, goes d'recti!
into the household, distributes
itself, containes day after day 1"''
particulars of the coming enter
tainment, and thus educates the
mind by appealing to the magma
ton. Under these considerations
the circus men nave concluded that
the newspapers, are at once the
cheapest, most available and best
mediums. In reaching this conciu-
sion the circus men have only foi-
lowed what has been realized by
every large advertiser the world
over. The newspaper imparts
something of it's own character to
its announcements, and readers
who have become accustomed to
oiSe their daily or weekly family
visitor their entire confidence, treat
even a circus advertisement WIN d
respect that is wholly absent in
viewing the flaming posters tnat
evanescently disfgure the Dill
boards, barn doors, and fences.
