Ami never a foeman shall enter In.”
A knight drew rein ’neath the caste wall;
Proud was Ills port, his stature tall.
His face held the Rater's eye in thrall,

A tall, melancholy looking female,
dressed in deep mourning and carrying a
long, lean black gripsack, walked up to a
railroad ticket office and carefully deposi
ted her burden near the window.
"I am at work for the £rrd,” she said in
a sepulchral tone, looking as if she ex

He tumbled, but not that day.
"I have calle I,” ahe continued, "to see

York, and 1 will certainly send you the
money as soon as I reach there."
The agent reached for hit bible, when
the mysterious female accidentally upset
the gripsack. It flew open, revealing to
hia astonished gaze the entire contents—a
little brown lug.
"What did I understand you to say was
the name of jour firm?" asked the agent,
but the melancholy looking female made
no answer, twitched her bag together and
slid out of the door like a wax figure on
wheels.

ro*e in Ins pew and said that he had neither
the heart nor the strength to say much,
but that he would mention one or two
things concerning the life of his deceased
friend. That the inti mite friendship
which b*gan in boyhood between Georgt-
1'ierce and hiimeli had lasted through life
That though they followed difT-rent pur
suits, thev were never led st art from each
other. That those tender ties hound not
only tbetiiMlvrs bur their families togeth
er AU udiik’ to Ids beloved friend he said;
"He has been with us under Various cir
cumstances; he has been with us to the
grave." Ami here the great heart of It*in
ert Toombs burst with its grief, and the
man who bus withstood the giants of hit
day, was weeping like a child. And
many were the ten's that were mingled
with bis iu his sorrow. Again he said:
"He beard the call and answered. Lord
here am I.' ‘Follow me;’ and lie followed
his Muster nil the days of hia life. This
was the life of George Fierce." The
speaker sa 5 d that the Bishop's heart went
out to all his fellow crea'ores, that while
he hated sin he loved all tdnners. Gen.
Toombs' remarks did not extend over six

A TUSSLE WITH A BUFFALO.
Tho Mad Merry-Co-Round Played by Man
and Beast at a Northwestern Camp.
From the Manitoba Free Press.
On Tuesday a party consisting ot Henry
Kelly, Thomas Brown atid J. M. Ross,
drove out to Stony Mountain to see Mr.
Bedson'e menagerie and view the premises
generally. The buffalo attracted Mr. Kel
ly’s attention particularly. In the in-
closure was an old bull, solitary and alone.
Mr. Kelly thought he would like to fra
ternize with the monarch of the plains and
pat him pleasantly on tho back, ile ac
cordingly leaped into the enclosure with
a pUasant smite and approaclnd
the gloomy brute with an easy non
chalance that made him the envy cf the
spectator*. In the meantime Mr. Ross
ami Mr. Brown, on the other side of the
fence, winked unostentatiously at each
other and waited for d *velopments. Pres
ently tlief came. Mr. K*liy loaled dream
ily up to the bull, called him a pet name or
two and patted him on the bac k. The buf
falo eyed him for a niMiuent or two with
stoical indifference and then made a light
ning pass at him with his horn*, one of
which pierced Mr. Kelly’s leg and ripped
off about ml*. iiM hes of cuticle, together
with a little raw flesh.
The scene was instantly changed. Mr.
K*lly struck for the fen< e at a Maud 8.
gait and the bull gathered himself to
gether for another charge. In the mean
time Mr. Brown, fearing mischief to his
friend, leaped recklessly into the arena and
vrabbed the animal hy’tlie tail. This dis
tracted the bull'a attention from Mr. Kel
ley and gave that gentleman time to climb
over the fence. The tronb e now was to
gc: Mr. Brown out of the dilemma. The
hull was getting warmed up aud had & de
cidedly belligerent aspect. Mr. Brown
dare not let go the animal's tail, hcca uc*
the bull would instantly have turned the
other end toward him, in which case Mr.
Browu felt that the situation would be ex-
ceo Jingly awkward. So he hung on to the
tail ahi) every time the bull turned Mr.
Bmwn would t rn, too.
Meanwhile Mr. Ross, Mr. K*dly, Mr.
Bi‘d«on and John took up reserved seatj
n ihe fence and encouraged Mr. Brown
to hold on, as it was only a question of a
day or two when the bull would become
tirid out. Mr. Brown did not require
much encouragement, lnwever. He fell
