And the soldier knew it, too, and many
a time he pansed in his writing and
laid his pen aside and bowed his head
upon his hands, and strove for console*

no consolation in all this. 8o when
Death came a second time he found
the soldier weak and trembling and
emaciated.
“It would be vain of you to struggle
with me now,” said Death. “My

with me till you have asked one fi
which I will grant.”
“Give me an hour to ask the favor,’
Mid the «oMS all—give me
an hour that I may decide what I shall
aak!”
And aa Death tarried, the soldier
communed with himself. Before he
closed his eyes forever what boon
should he ask of Death? And the sol-
dier’s thoughts sped back over the
years and whole life came to him like
a lightning flash—the companionship

A soldier, who had won imperish

stranger, clad all in black and wearing

“Who are yon that yon dare to block

Then the stranger draw aside his

"Have yon come for me?” asked the
soldijr “If so, I will not go with yon;
so go yonr way alone.”
Bat Death held oat his bony hand
and beckoned to the soldier.
No,” cried the soldier, resolutely;
“my time is not come. See, here are

The Story of
[lVpul&r Science.]
The memory of the lion was preserv
, in its ancient haunts long after it
had become extinct. The scene of one
of the prettiest stories told by .Elian
is laid in Mount I'anga-nm,which, from
its mention by-Xenophon, must have
been a famous haunt of lions.
Endemns tells the tale that
_ i-um in Thhce, a bear attacked the
lair of a lion, while it was unguarded,
and killed the cabs that were too small
weak to defend themselves.
And when the father and mother came
home from banting somewhere, and
saw their children lying dead, they
were much aggrieved, and attacked the
bear; bnt she was afraid, and climbed
np a tree as fast as she conld, and set
tled herself down, trying to avoid the
attack. Now, when they uw that they
conld not avenge themselves on her,
the lioness did not cease to watch the
tree, bnt sat down in ambnsh
foot, eyeing the bear that was covered
with blood. Bnt the lion,

face with his tongue. And the man took
courage, i Then the Hon encircled him
with his tail, and led him, and did not
suffer him to leave hia ax behind, but
pointed with his foot for it to be taken
up. And when the man did not nnder-
