"Aud you won’t help Cissy to carry tha basket, HoddioY ’ repeated bis aunt. ) "No, I wun’t,” declared Roddie, stamping bis loot, and looking very angry indeed. “An’ 1 wun’t lend her my new velocipede, an’ I’ll toll Alioo Clairville liow she told 11 title on mo.” "Served you light you little bear,’ growled his uncle John, patting Cissy on the head, as, casting sorrowful and timid glances at her ungry broth er, she trotted along with tho basket of plums under her arm. "Why did you climb out on the roof? You shan’t huve a single plum when we got home.” "I ain’t a bear, an’ I wun t he called a bear, uncle,” said 'Roddie, stamping his foot on the grass, aud nearly cry ing with passion. "111 tell ma, I will.” “l r ou are a little bear, and want a thorough good licking, ’ repeated un cle John. "No, John, he is not a bear,” said Roddie’s aunt. “Bears help one an other, and lioddio won’t help his sis ter.” "Boars don t help one another,” contradicted tho naughty boy; "they eat one another, they do; and they’d eat Cissy, they would. Miss Thomp soni, down to Orion, told mo so.” "But bears do help one another, asserted his auut. "Uncle John knows all about them, aud he’ll toll you what I say is true ’ “Yes,’ said his uncle gravely, “bears are much kinder to each other than Roddie is to his sister. Lot us sit down under this tree, and I will toll Cissy somoting that I have seen bears do, so that slio will sue how much nicer they are than brother.” Roddie sullenly took up a position behind the tree, while tho rest of the party sat down in front of it, facing tlie iartn. He had felt very much offended at being called a bear, but to bo accounted worso than a bear in creased his bad temper to bueli a pitch of moral ugliness, that 110 de termined to go without dinner, aud make las mother miserable all day. "I wun’t listen, any way, ’ he thought, as uncle John coughed to clear up his throat bolore commencing the story; but, ulthougli Roddie put his fingers in his ears a word or two reached him, and few as they wore, they so interested him, that he was soon a B attentive us Cissy herself. "I called Roddie a bear just now.” began uncle John, "but 1 think I did a great injustice to tiio bear. Bruin may know nothing about etiquette; hut he certainly seems to understand the old-lashionod courtesy ol kindness. "I was once a traveler in Russia, and 1 became acquainted with the method of catching bears in that coun try. To betray them, a pit is dug several foot deep; and after covering it over with turf, leaves, etc., some food is placed on the top. The bears, if tempted by the bait, easly fall into the snare; but, if tour or five happen to get in together, they will manage to get out again.” “How is that!’ asked Cissy Rod die was going to ask the question,too, but he remembered, just in time, that he had determined to be sulky all day. "Well, you see, Cissy,” resumed uncle John, “they form a sort of lad der by stepping on each other’s shoulders, ami thus make their es cape.’ "But how does the bottom one get out'” inquired Roddie eagerly so in terested that he had momentarily for gotten his resolution. The instaLt after, ho remembered it, aud blushed up to tho roots of his hair with salsa shame. “Why Roddie,” answered his uncle kindly, but gravely, "these bears, though not possessing a mind and soul, like you, can feel affection, and experience a wish to help ,-ach other. Scampering off, they fetch tho branch of a treo, which they down to their poor brother, enabling him to speedily rejoin there in freedom, in which thoy rejoice. And now, let us go home, anti show mother the plums.” As they rose, Roddie ran to Cissy’s side. "111 carry the basket, Cissy. 1 guess you must be tired,'' he suid, in a low voice, so that his aunt aud uncle would not hear him. “Oh, ltoddie,” said Cissy, “I ain’t tired much, but I’m so glad you ain’t mad auy more. Ma said you and fall and be killed, if you climbed out on the roof, you know.” “That, s so,’ declared Rod die, j sturdily, feeling so jolly, now that his bad temper had slunk out.ot hirn;“and you did just right to tell on me. 1 won’t be worse than a bear any more.” An apple-dealer of Tort Huron, Michigan, has lately returned from Liverpool, where he contracted for the elivery of 10,000 barrels of the best Michigan apple* It is said he will clear 81 75 on each barrel. Ho contracted for the same number of barrels last year, and filled his con tract, the apples arriving in Liverpool in good order. Many of the apples thus sent to Liverpool are thenee sent to the Mediterranean in exchange for other fruits. “Well, my good fellow, ’ said a vic torious General to a brave son of Lrin after a battle, md what did you do to help us gain the victory ? ’ “Do !’ replied Mike; “may it please your I honor, 1 walked up bouldly to wun of ! the inimv, and cut otf his feet.’ “Cut off his feet! and why did you not cut off his heal?” said the general! “Ah, an faith that was off already,” said Mike. , Bucuuuter wi.ti tin lilxtpiiuait. Wearied with our day’s chase, and enraptured with tho novelty of the scouory by which wo wore surrounded I and my friend llurlton had allowed our jaded horses to go on with their own pace, and having thus fallen con siderably in tlie rear of the company, a bend iu the course at length hid them from our view. We jogged on, until Ilnrlton sug gested that we had hotter overtake the party, as tho sun was near setting,aud we were unacquainted with the coun try. Wo immediately put spurs to our horses, aud soon arrived at tho spot whore we had last seen our com panions. Here wo found their route no longer marked by hills 011 each side, but the ridges, under whoso j shade we had been riding for hours, suddenly swept down into the plain in ! which our cavalcade was now winding ■ its way, but ia what direction wo | were unable to decide. The dismay I wo felt, on making this discovery, in creased as wo reliected that the com pany was large and it was therefore very unlikely that we should be miss ed. Our first idea was to fire our guns, by way ol signal to our friends, and it was not till proceeding to load that wo fully realized the appalling danger of our situation. Threo small charges were all we could muster be tween us, aud there we were, with 110 weapons but our guns in a tract of country hrougli which wo might trav el in any direction without meeting a human being. After much perplexi ty we resolved not to tire, as tho chances of oar being heard wore but small, and our powder was too pre cious to bo lost. Our only hope ap peared to be in pushing on as last as possible, and this wo determined to do in hopes of gaining some traces of our party. v\ o urged our weary horses to the top ol their speed, but all ill vain.— Darkness overtook us and we were compelled to halt for the night. Af ter having kindled a tire, we piled up tho fuel, aud trusting to its glare to stare the hungry wild beast around, we committed ourselves to sleep, botii of being so weary tiiat neither couid keep guard while the other slopt. By duybreak we were again on the move, and al tor many anxious hours! of riding came to a country, brokou by rocky hills. Having arrived attne j loot ol a ridge, wo tied our horses as , securely as possible, aud commenced the ascent on foot. We had not pro coded more than a gun shot, beiore a tremendous crackling of branch -s : aun muced the approach of some iiugo j boast, aud this sum tly proved to fie 1 one of the finest 1 piiants I over saw 1 Uur guns were loaded, aud without ; saying a word we simultaneously iov- , e ed, individually arriving at tue con- 1 elusion that to save our powder at the J expense of our lives, would be "Don- j nywise aud pound foolish.” Both j oharges lodged in the tough hide of ! tne elephant, but neither doing him any serious injury. He retreated a : short distance and gave us time tj j scramble up the nearest tree. YY’itii j a horrible bellow he rushed madly at the trunk beneath us. Down came ! the tree and wo in the middle of it,my ■ companion falling plump on the back ' of the enemy. (Scarce knowing what 1 he was doing,he held on unui tliellexi- j ble trunk of his steed made a : grasp at him, when lie slipped off' in a manner that would have fieon high ly amusing under other circumstances. As soon as he felt the ground ho darted off through tho jungle, tiio elephant following, but uiuoiiuuatoly losing his track, and although ho sjon regained it, he did not overtake lnm till he had arrived at the brink of a precipitous rock On 1 aine the foe, and the dismay of the huntsman any be imagined when he discovered tfiat with such a monster close behind, a yawning chasm lay iu front, iho rock was not quite perpendicular, ami hero ami there grew a thick slu ub at the brink. Springing to one of these, he seized a tough bianch, aud iiung himself over the edge, aud there he hung. The elephant pursued aud stood on the brink of the chasm, as it conning some plan of reaching his victim, until I came up, aud lodging a bul'et in a vital part brought him to the ground. —Dairy of an African Traveler.
