*;THE BRIDE’S WARNING.
Hold I Pledge me not in such a
draught as this
For well I know within the goblet
lies
The deadly bane of every earthly bits?;
The fiend that tears apart all human
ties;
The demon that feeds all the fires of
lust,
And robs the eye and cheek of light
and bloom;
The power that bows all nauhood to
the dust,
And fills with ruined hopes the
tomb.
Ah ! I have marked this subtle, sun
ny tide.
That sparkles now so temptingly
ana bright,
Engulf health, beauty purity and
pride,
And plunge the wretched soul in
darkest night!
Then, from some crystal fount the
goblet fill,
Ere yet ’tis raised to those fond ;
lips of thine,
Eor never did a serpent’s fang dis
till
So dire a poison as flows from the
vine,

* A BEAR STO3Y."
Among the various sketches-, read
before the Georgia Historical Society
by Captain W. W. Ptine, and re
ported by the Savannah New#, was
the following which created great a
musement in the audience :
4 'Morgan Gillis Was a hunter of
some renown, and a hold and power*
fnl man. One day hunting in the
piney woods he killed a fine buck,
and while engaged in skinning it he
discovered several Indians creeping
toward* him. There was no time te
deliberate or to tarry. Springing to
his feet and leaving rifle and venison
behind, he ran for life, and reached
the swamp, where be noticed a large
poplar, which Lad been broken off
near its top and had the appearanoe
of being hollow. A knarled or k nag
ged hicory which rested against this
enabled him to easily climb tha tree,
When, to his great jey, Jkt found it
hollow, with an opening in the top
sufficient for him to enter. He enter
ed and sliding to the bottom, found
it tenanted by two fat cubs, and at
once discovered that he was in the
den of a bear which fortunately for
him was absent from heme. About
three feet from the bottom of the dan
was a small knot-hole from whieh
Gilis saw the Indians approaching and
who seemed .much puttied at not
finding him. After hunting around
the Indiana disappeared supposing
that Gilis had eaoaped to the rirar.
Waiting some time and the Indians
not re-appearing, Gilis thought it
time to leave his hidiw-plaee and at
tempting to do so found to his dismay
that he could not do so and that he
win entombed in the wooden walls
of a tree.

get out.
,l Gillie could not perish with hun
ger for some days, for he coutd cat
the cnbs: but he might persih for
water. Having his large hunting
knife with him he cotnmenoed trying
to cut his way out of the hoi ow, and
while thus engaged he heard as he
supposed someone climbing on the
outside of the tree- lie thought of
the Indians and gave himself up for
lost. Soon the apature at the top of
the tree was darkened and an object
cmmenced to descend, and horror of
horrors it was the old bear. Bears
always descend a tree backwards —and
as Airs. Bruin neared the bottom,
Gillis in terror commenced using his
knife vigorously upon her, and she
not expecting such a warm reception
in her quarters, hastily ascended and
Gillis taking advantage of her diseorn
fiture and hasty retreat, seized hold
of her shaggy hair and was drawn to
the tip. lie escaped and reached
home in safety, a wiser if not a bet
