Ask for What yon Want.
God’s Protection to the Yeung Deer,
An old Canadian 'deer-hunter de
clares that the reason why the wild
deer were not all killed when young,
(as they breed once a year and are
always snrreunded by other animals
which prey upon them, as dogs,
wolves, bears, panthers, &c.,) is that
“no dog or other animals can smell
the track of a doe or fawn, while the
latter is too yoong to take care of it
self! He stated , that he had often
seen it demonstrated. He had often
taken his dogs over the ground where
he had jnst seen them pass, and they
would take no notice of the track, and
could not bo induced to follow when
taken to the spot, while they would
instantly discover the track of any
deer not having young ones. This
is but one proof of the adaptation of
the natural laws to preserve life when
it most needs protection.
blood in the veins flows towards the
heart, and there is no need of so great
- a hurry.'
No Hope for Printers.
When Franklin’s mother-in-law first
discovered thatthe young man had a
hankering for her daughter, that good
old lady eaid she did not know so
well about giving her daughter to a
printer; there was already two print
ing offices in the United States and
she wasn’t certain the country wonhl
support them. It Was plain young
Franklin would depend for his sup
port upon the profits of a third, and
this was rather a doubtful chance.
If such an objection was urged to a
would-be son-in-law when there were
Ibnt two printing offiee in tho United
State*, how can a printer hope to get
a wife-now, when the present census
shows the number to be 15,006 ?
He Didn’t Read the papers.
In the trial of the Doyan Brothers
recently Tn Michigan for murder,
much difficulty was experienced in
obtaining a jury free from prejudice.
At last, after a large number had
been rejected, a man from the back
part of the country was called, who,
in response to the questions propound
ed, said that he did not take or read
a paper; and had never heard of tho
murder. This was too strong a case,
and Mr. Terry,' one of the counsel
for the prosecution, Said:—“We ob
ject to ybur sitting on the jury in
this case; a man ihat don’t take a
paper, and never hoard of this brutal
murder, don’t know enough to be a
juryman! 'We don’t want job!”
Icebergs.
: Few sigbts in nature are more im
posing than that of the huge, solitary
iceberg, as regardless alike of wind
and tide, it Steer* its course over’the
face of the deep, far away from land.
Like one of the frosty giants of
Scandinavian mythology, it issues
from the portals of tne. north, armed
with great blocks of stone. Proudly it
sails on. The waves that dash in
foam against its sides shake not the
strength of its chrystal walls, nor
tarnish the sheen of its emeral caves.
Sleet and snow; storm and tempest,
are its congenial elements. Night
falls around, and the stars are tremul
ously reflected from a thousand peaks,
and from the green depths of “cav
erns measureless to man.”
