6 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."
