Indian Repartee.

An old time Indian agent who was
militia colonel desired to impress the
Indians with the magnitude of his dig
nifty. He dressed himself in full uni
form, with his sword by his side, and,
rising In the council, told them that
one reason why the great father had
had so much trouble with his red chill
dren was that he had sent civilians to
them. 49,
"You are warriors" he said, 'tand
when the great father saw me he said,
I will send this man. who is a great
warrior, to my red children, who are
warriors, and they will hear bis
WordS.'"
An old chief arose and. surveying the
speaker from head to foot. said calmly:
"Since ] was a small boy l have heard
that white men have great warriors. /
have always wanted to see one. have
looked upon one, and now l am ready
to die"

Each Bud Blossoms But Once.

Each bud blossoms but once, and
each flower has but its minute of per-
feet beauty. So in the garden of the
soul each feeling has. as it were, its
towering moment, its one and only
second of expansive grace and royal
radiance. Each star passes but once
in the night through the meridian over
our heads and glitters there but for
an instant: So In the heaven of the
mind each thought touches its zenith
but once, and in that moment all its
brilliancy and all its sovereign great
ness culminate.-Henri Frederic AmieI.

Would Have the Author.

During performance Of Sophocles'
tragedy of "Antigone" at the Theater
Royal, Dublin, the gallery gods, very
important portion of the audience in
that city, were greatly pleased and, ae-
cording to their custom, called for the
author.
Bring out Sopherclaze!' some one
shouted.
After awhile the manager appeared,
and there was general shout until he
explained that Sophocles had been dead
1000 years and more and could not
well come. .
"Then chuck us out his mummy"
came back in answer from the gallery.

Both of One Mind.

A henpecked gentleman determined
to have a night with hisfriends against
the will of his wife. He was resolved
that he would 60, and she. was equally
certain that he should not. He did not
appear, however, and his friends, miss

There they found both him and his
wife sitting in their chairs fast asleep.
He had given her an opiate that he
might slip away, and she had given
him one that he might not.

On arrival at minister, Pearman pro-
seeded direct to Glinn, and inquired for
MI Denlson. He was shown into the
liorary, and speedily joined by that gen.
tleman.
Il have come over. Mr.. Denison. to
nave some conversation with you about
the somewhat prepOsterous claim of yours
as to right of heriot' over Mannersley." /"
am advised" replied the squire,
that the claim is a perfectly valid one,
and of course, just now valuable"
My dear sir, l am not alluding to the
right or wrong of the case; but, situated
as We are to each other, il seems rather
absurd our going to law with each other"
Better, Mr.. Pearman, say, situated
as we were. Moreover, the nearer and
dearer the relationship, the more acri-
monious the law suit; for bitter Qusrrel

and hadn't got it. Now, it seems, you
also owe me 10000, which, of course,
makes my not being able 30 pay you of
very little consequence"
But you consented to my engagement
with your daughter"
And would now, if l thought you'd
ever want it"
Il don't understand you"
Then it's no use continuing this con-
versation."
will you answer me a straightforward
question? May l ask you if my engage

if that remains as it was.''
And don't / keep telling you that that

yourself if you have any doubts upon the
subject, you had better see herr"

that you sign Mr.. Denison a release OF

CHAPTER XXI.

Grenville Rose, meanwhile, had early
cognizance of Pearman's arrival, and pre-
pared at once for the encounter. He first
ordered a horse TO be saddled, and a groom
to be in readiness to take a message to
Xminster. Next he summoned his cousin
TO come to him in his uncle's sanctum.
"Maude, dearest" he said, as she en-
tered 1.-The crisis of our fate is at hand"
What is it Gren?" And the grey
eyes opened wide as she saw the grave,
earnest look upon her lovers face.
"Pearman is here, and your father
is gone to see him. But in a few min
utes | shall be sent for. I'm playing for
great stake this morning, Maude; to
wit. the freeing your father from his diff
culties, and to win your own sweet self
for mine own love. Listen. James has
got a horse all ready to go for me to
Xminster. You see these telegram sheets
| shall come here for one minute, and fll
one up with a message. Mind James
has it, and is off with it at once. You
see he does not linger. 1t is OF the ut
most consequence to u.s."
81 understand, Gren. Anything moreY'
"Yes; you may as well write Pearman
polite dismissal, unless you would rath-
er see him"
"Oh, no! I'd rather write"
"Well. then do so at once; and / think
there will be no necessity for your seeing
him. But if you must''-and he looked
a little anxiously towards her.

Here Harold Denison entered the room
jubilant and triumphant
"The overture is played out, Grenville
and the real business of the piece is
about TO begin. I've told him you are my
