Alone.
With cnr?s in the runny air tossing,
Vl ‘-h fight in the merry blue eyes,
With laughter ho clearly outringing,
A laugh of delight and surprire;
All friendly assistance disdainii.g,
And trusting no strength but its own,
The past fears and trials forgot ter,
llie baby is "going stone.”
W hat woful mi-liaps hive preceded
Tl.h day of rejoicing and pride t
How often the help that he needed
Has carelessly gone from his side.
He In.a fallen while reaching for sunbeams,
W Licit just as lie grasp’d ihetn have flown
And Ibo teais ot vexation have followed,
But now be is "going alone.”
And ail through this life he will study
This lesson again and again ;
He will carelessly had upon shadows,
He will fall and weep over the pain.
The hand whose tond clasp was the surest,
Will coldly withdraw fiorn his own,
The sumnest eyes will be clouded,
And he will be iralkiqg aisue.
He will h a-ii what a stern world w e live iu,
And he may grow cold like the rest;
And just keep a warm sonny welcome
For those who seem trutst and best;
Yet chastened and taught by past sorrow,
And stronger and manlier gro-*n,
Nor trusting his all in (heir keeping.
He learuß to waik bravely alone.
An J yet not alone, for our Father
The faltering footstep will guide. •
Through all .he dark maz sos earth life
And "over the rmr’s” deep tide.
Oh ! there is a Helper unfailing,
A strength we can perfectly trust,
■a hen all human aid unavailing,
"The dust shall return unto du.-t ”

belt the pistols that ante in the bolsters,
and unlastonibg a gourd of rum barg

tbe eyes, car*, nostrils and mouth of the
poor beast, whose pid,-s quivered, and
which this seemed to ledord to life.
11 i!f an h ur oas-ed in this way : the
horse s- mewhat refreshed, bad g ,t on its
legs, and with instinct that duuLguish
es the race nal discovered a spring close
by where it quenched its durst.
‘•An is not bet yet,” I muttered.
J.ut a deep roar broke forih a short
disjanec away, repeated -l , log t imrnedi

rend,led,
“MaUdictron !” I exoiaiVd -<1 am at

At that moment I saw, about tea pa

J he horse burst into a snort of terror,
ond ran off.
“All the better,” I thought, “perhaps
it will escape.”
A frightful concert of howls and roars
broke out on all sides at tbe sound oi
noise s fl gut, auu hug,; shadows
bounded along past me, A violent
blast swept the sky, and tho moon lit
up the desert with its mournful, sickly
rays.
Not far off the Rio Negro ran between
two scarpad banks, and I saw all round
me tbe compact uia*sos of a virgin f ir—
cst, an inextricable chaos of rocks piled
up pell mell, and of fissures out of
which oluuifa of trees grow. Hero and
'hero creepers were intertwined describ
ing tho wildest curves, and only slop

ritus which abounds to &juth American

I now discovered where I was. I was
more than fifteen leagues from any hab

forest, the only one in Patagonia which
no ranger had as yet been bdd enough
to explore, such horror and mj*torv !
did its glocuiy depths appear to reveal".
the forest a limped stream burst
through the rocks, who:o banks were
trampled by numerous tracks of the
claws of the wild beast. This stream
served them, in faot, as a watering-place

"Ifum, said I, “theso are daDgerous

Ariel I mechanically turned tny eyes
away, A panther, stretched out on a
rock in the position of a watchful cat,
fixed its’ inflamed eyes upon me.’
I who was well armeej according to the
South American fashion, had a rifle of
woundrous accuracy, which I had leant
against a rock close to mo.
' Good,” Ishd, ‘it will be a tough
fight at uriy rate.’
I rat ed my gun, but at that moment
when I was about to fir a plaintive
mewing caused me to raise my head
A drzen wild cats of great size, perched
on hranchre of trees, were locking down
at me, while several red wolves crouched
m front.
A number of vultures, nrtibas, and
oaraeactw, with half closed eyes, ’ were
scatrd en the surrouitdiTfW rocks and
apareutly awainting the hour for their
meal.
I jumped up on a rock, and thrn, by
tho help of my Ijands and knees, gtined
after exfrat rdinary diflScul'ieg, a sort of
natii’-al terrace sitta’ed about twenty
feet above ihs ground The frigk ful
concert formed by thedcjiizsos of the
fnrest, whom tho t-übtle'y of their scent
attracted one after the other, increased
more and more, and nverpowed the Very

I set my feet firmly on tho ground,
and cocked my revolver. Fiur shots

A Good Joke —Many years ago
when church organs first cam; ;n use

a chtirun where they had just purchas

was a ’urge town pasture, where a

them a large hull. One hot Sabbath

singing seats, and, with a grave face
“I won and thank the musicians not
to tune thtir instruments dur ng ser

The people stared, and the minister
wer.t on.
“JToo yoo-woo.” went the bull mraia
as he,drew a little nearer the ‘ cbur'ch.’
Jhe parsDn paused again and ad-
Jressed the choir:
"I really wish the singers would not

The congregation titterod, for they
