CHARITY.
If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor’s way,
If we knew the little losses,
Sorely* grivous, day by day.
Would we then as often chide him
For his lack of thrift and gain,
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on our minds a stain ?
If we knew the clouds above us
Held but gentle blessing there,
Would we turn away all trembling
In our blind and weak despair ?
Would we shrink from litUe shadows
Flitting o’er the dewy grass,
If we knew the birds of Eden
Were in mercy flying past !
If we knew the silent story
Quivering through the heart of pain.
Would we drive it with our coldness
Back to haunts of vice again ?
Life hath many a tangled crossing,
Joy hath many a break of woe ;
But the cheeks tear-washed are wites».
Kept in life as flowers of snow.
Let us reach into our bossoms
For the kev to other lives,
And with love toward erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives,
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light above,
We may say, “Dear Father, love us,
E’en as we have shown our love. ’
From the Quitman Independent.!
Great Excitement.
Three Bears in the Swamp—The Hunt —The
Finding—The Want of Caution—The Criminal
Indiscretion The Horrible Mutilation—Not
Dead Yet.
On Tuesday morning last, Professor
Hays and Mr. Harvey, the bootologist,
made known to a few of their special
friends that they, for recreation, had
gone out the night before to the
swamps, hoping to capture a wayfaring
coon or opossum, but had come up
with a trio of bears, and that they had
found to a certainty their hiding place!
So the young braves, to whom the in
telligence was confided, eager for hon
or and glory, enjoined secrecy upon
the part of Hays and Harvey un** l
they could arm and equip themselves
for the contest. Then, with Professor
Hays as a pilot, the young braves
started in search of a perilous adven
ture. An hour’s walk brought them
to the swamp, and soon the narrow
pass was found and the unmistakable
signs of a conflict between the dogs
and the bears of the night before was
discovered, and though Prof. Hays
exhibited much trepidation, he was in
duced by the less cautious and intrepid
braves, Mr. P., and Mr. Y.,to proceed,
every step almost increasing the fear
ful sign, and also the trepidation of
Prof. Hays, but still they pursued the
narrow but well beaten path until they
came to an immense heap of drift
wood, deposited by some immense
freshet of years ago, under which there
was a large opening which was worn
smooth by the frequent entrance of
large beasts. These indications should
have put the hunters upon their guard,
and the greatest prudence and discre
tion should have been exercised ; but
upon the contrary, they incautiously
and imprudently laid their guns down
and went to work to remove the pile
of drift wood and brush, that lay in
every conceivable shape. On they
worked and toiled, the signs of the
beast growing plainer as every tier of
the drift was removed.
But not daunted with the fearful
signs, they still persevered in remov
ing the promiscuous heap, without any
caution being exercised. All at work,
the dogs barking and growling, and
the guns standing by the neighboring
trees, and a little boy that they had
thoughtlessly permitted to go with
them, without his parents knowledge,
right in the midst of the laboring
group, wholly unconscious of the dan
ger to which he was exposed, and those
who ought to have known better per
mitted him to stand right in their
midst, and often tn front and looking
into the dark entrance. But still they
persist to remove the old logs and
brush, seemingly unconscious that the
little boy had a fond father, a loving
mother, and the great peril to which
the little fellow was exposed. Finally,
a large portion of the heap was re
moved and the signs still plainer, the
dogs growing fiercer and fiercer, and of
course to prudent men the peril would
have appeared more imminent. Now
they have reduced the heap and the
den is almost exposed. So they ar
ranged a heavy prize and placed it be
tween the large logs. And now they
should have kuown with the powerful
leverage that a small force would part
the logs and expose the den, and that
the infuriated beast would leap out and
attack the first being in their way. If
they had acted discreetly they would
have put one man to the lever and the
others should have bad their guns and
took positions, so as not to endanger
each other as they fired uton the beast,
and the little boy (poor little fellow!)
shonld have been sent back out of the
danger, but no such precaution was
used. Oh, just to think of the crimi-
**«-
nal indiscretion ! They permitted the
poor little boy to stand right in the
most exposed condition, and their guus
by the trees, and all hands took hold
of the lever and commenced prizing,
and the dogs became more furious.
Oh, isn’t it horrible to contemplate!
The little boy standing there exposed
as the timbers are opening and the long
excluded light is breaking into the
dark den. They ought to have known
the beasts would grow furious at the
invasion of their home. But uncon
scious stood the little boy, whose pa
rents knew not the danger to which
their loved one was exposed. The
leverage was powerful and the timbers
gave way; all at once the whole den
was lighted up and fully exposed to
the light of day. Thank the Lord we
can rejoice with the little boy’s parents
that there was no bears there to leap
out. So the great heap of drift wood
was terribly mutilated, and the impru
dent adventurers returned to the city
and the little boy is still alive, and we
think doing well.
As the cars were moving away from
Terre Haute the other day, a pretty
young woman came from the ladies’
car, and rushing into the smoking car,
frantically appealed to everybody to
stop the train. Catching sight of the
conductor, she exclaimed, piteously,
“ Mr. Conductor, do please stop the
train ; I’ve left my baby.” The train
was stopped and the baby recovered,
amidst the hearty cheers of the people
on the platform and passengers;
and wfclle tne young mother laughed
and cried and bugged her little one,
she tried to explain how the baby was
such a new one that she hadn’t got used
to it.
A bootblack was standing near the
foot of Jefferson avenue, Detroit, late
ly, when a stranger inquired: ‘‘Bub
is it fur from here to the post-office !”
The boy looked at him in contempt,
and the man asked : “ Say, bub, is it
fur to the City Hall!” The boy’s look
of disgust increased, but he kept si
lence, and the man raised his voice and
shouted : “ You boy—is it fur to the
City Hall!” “ Fi.r—fur to the City
Hall !” echoed the boy. “If you want
me to talk to you, you’d better use de
cent grammar or say you never went to
school at all I”
A lawyer was in a country town on
a flying trip. He was accosted in the
hotel by a “drummer” who thought
him one of the fraternity, and in
quired : “ For what house are you
traveling?” “For my own.” “You
are ! May I ask your name ?” “ You
may.” Pause —enjoyable to the law
yer, embarrassing to the other. “Well,
(desperately) what is your name?”
“Jones.” “What line are you in?”
“ I don’t understand you, sir.” “ What
are you selling ?” (impatiently)
“Brains,” (coolly). The mercantile
traveler saw his opportunity, and look
ing at the other from head to foot ho
said slowly—“ Well, von appear to
carry a deuced small lot of sam
ples.”
Keeping Fruit in Our Rooms. —
We should be chary of keeping ripe
fruit in our sitting rooms, and especially
beware of laying it about a sick cham
ber for any length of time. The com
plaints which some people make about a
faint sensation in the presence of fruit
is not fanciful —for two continental
chemists have shown that from the mo
ment of plucking apples, cherries, cur
rants and other fruits they are subject
to incessant transformation. At first
they absorb oxygen, thus robbing the
surrounding air of its vital element.
Then they evolve carbonic acid, find
this in a far greater volume than the
purer gas is absorbed, so we have poi
songiven us in theplaceof pure air, with
compound interest. Temperature af
fects the rate of changes, warmth accel
erating it.
Education. —“Hobson, they tell me
you have taken your boy away from
the public school. What’s that for ?”
“ ’Cause the master as n’t fit teach
un.”
“ Why, I’ve heard he’s a very good
teacher.”
“ Well, all I know is he wanted to
make Tom spell ’taters with a n !”
A Chicago grocer, when complained
to about selling bad eggs, said, “At
this time of the year the hens are not I
well, and often lav bad eggs."

Dr. J. S. Pemberton, Atlanta, Ga: Dear Sib
—I have received your circulars, and in conse
quence of the distribution, I have sold about six
dozen Globe Flower Syrup in the last tw T o weeks.
The Globe Flower Syrup is gaining great celeb
rity. I recommended it in two cases of con
sumption. One case was bed-fast; had not laid
on but one side for two years ; hemorrhages al
most every day: much emaciated, and expected
to die. He has talieu six bottles of Globe Flow
er Syrup; Ids troubles are all gone, except pros
tration which is rapidly improving. He will cer
tainly get well. The other case is similar, with
same good results. I can send you many testi
monials if you want them.
Yours tiuly, etc , O. SACKETT.

Dr. J. S. Pemberton, Atlanta Georgia: Deab
Sir —I bought from Redwine & Fox two bottles
of your Globe Flower Syrup, which has cured me
of a severe cough and bleeding from the lungs
which I had been afflicted with for over twelve
months. One of mj' friends, who had been af
flicted with a terrible weakening cough and
bleeding from the lungs for over two years, was
cured by the use of four bottles of your Globe
Flower Syrup. I have taken all kinds of Cough
and Lung Balsams of the day, and consider your
Globe Flower Syrup the best—superior to all
other preparations. I have recommended it to a
great many sufferers, and the same good effects
have been experienced by all who have used it.
The Globe Flower Syrup is a. great blessing to the
world. God speed you in the introduction of it.
