THE SLAMUJl JIILJ..
'Tis not a new parent, but, has long been in use.
And many have tried its lair fame to abuse,
And let me ile-cr'be it lroui hopper to till
The Belzebub 1'ateat SUnJcr Mill.
The youn and the old can at once testify
To its power in charging the truth to a lie.
Ot a lie to the truth, as the patron may will
So very complete is the Slander ilill.
This tmiLiiine will work host ia a social way,
Where the people may talk or play;
And the fairest of Lauds may turn at will
The crank ol the famous Slander Mill.
It can grind your character as fine as chaff
While the millers thai, and dance, and laugh.
And the victim feels a sudden chill
At every turn of the Slouder Mill.
It crushes with ease a fair lady's fame,
A nd changes her graces to sin and uluinc;
Willi the friendly glance of pure good will
Is reduced to a blot by the Slandt-r Mill.
A man may think hi in self pure as tnow,
And train his virtue to make them grow;
Hut he is niatked Mtxn with a visage of ill,
Hy a tingle turn ol the Slander Mill.
The mother who toils for the babe and bread
With a soul as true ns the stars o'er head,
Often fails the hungry mouths to fill
liy passing through the Slander Mill.
The father, whose wish that wife and child.
With himself, mv pass cn undefined
To the Land of Rest when God shall will,
Is ground to dust by the Slander Mill.
There's nothing good, noble, wise or pure
That, pissing through this mill, can long endure
When Satan invented this thing of iil."
He knew who would use the Siander Mill.
So bring our grist, and have it ground
In the surest null that was ever fbuiid;
Mrs (Jrundv prehidts, and will take the toll.
Returning the chaff, but reserves the soul.
In n'l our dear homes there's a mill at work;
'Tis the human tongue the devil's cleik
Who faithfully serves at hopper nn 1 till
To feed the devouring Slander Mill.

A writer in the March issue of Scri
tier's JTrj.izuie gu&.s'ipg readably "About
lifars." lie coustders bruin to be an
animal in -whom we have tia insiirietive
an ioleiest fwni boyhoyd onwards a3 we
have an iti!ierent burror of a nr. I; ea or love
of dog".
IoikeJ at from an intellectual point of
view, the abimal can hardly be consider
ed a success. lie lacks the keen instinct
of the dojjr and the pondetous sagacity of
the elephant. He is as set ious as the as?,
and far more piupid.
Numerous stories were told us in eatly
yotuh touching this lack of common
sense, such for example as, that of the
man in the wiids of the West who was
superintending a saw-mill While sit
ting upon the log that was being sawed,
and eating his frugal repast, a huge black
bear suddenly bounced in and invited
himself to dinner. The proprietor politely
withdrew, clambering into the rafters
above, while bruin took his place upon
the log and continued the meal. In a few
moments the approaching saw touched
the rump of the bear, and lie edged for
ward. It again rasped him and he re
sented the indignity with a growl. The
third time he resented the indignity in like
manner. The fourth time he turned furi
ously and hugged the saw. And then a
contest ensued that was very lively but
exceedingly brief- At the end the modest
sawyer descended to find a remnant of
his dinner and considerable bear meat.
Again, we were assured that the com
mon way of killing bears in Hardin for
ests was to suspend a log by a grapevine
to a bee-tree. IJruin, who ia fashiona
bly fond of honey, in ascending the tree
would knock the log aside with his paw.
Tho log returning, would hit and infuriate
the bear, and, a contest arising between
the two, would bring the poor beast to
grief for the harder he would strike the
more severe would the log rebound.
Not a bad fable is that to illustrate the
fcvil which comes to the individual w!io
creates strife in his own heart through
hate, envy, malice, and all unchartitablo
tiess. This fondness for sweets is only equal
ed by bruin's taste for infant pig- He
caionot resist the squeal of the young pork
er, and will run his stupid head into all
sotta of traps baited with the living ani
mal. There is a certain lumpish activity
about the bear that is extremely diverting.
Ono mu6t not count too positively, how
ever, on his lack of dexterity. The late
witty and eccentric Judge Tappan once
had u realizing sensa of this.
lie, with two. or three companions,
was boating on Lake Erie, near Sandus
ky, at an eatly day, -when they observed
a bear swimming from the -mainland to
ward an island. The pariy, armed only
with an axe, rowed in pursuit. As they
approached their prey, the Judge stood
with axe in hand, intending to hit bruin
on the f-kull. But the animal, eyeing his
enemy warily, was prepared", and as the
axe descended ho turned suddenly in the
water, and with one swift stroke of his
paw sent it flying from the grasp of his
foe far into the lake. Then bruin pass
ed from the defensive to a vigorous at
tack, find began climbing into tba-boat.
To take euch a passenger aboard was
exceedingly unpleasant, and, armed with
curv, the party, used due diligence. It
proved impossible to keep him cut, but by
quick concerted action they succeeded in
passing him over into the water again. -
The bear letuinfoj to the charge ar.d was
again tumbled out In the third assault i San Francisco, and won great renown in
the boat was so filled with water that it ! several lights with bulls auil dogs. lie
capsized, and the adventurous pioneers ! was now being exhibited on the Atlantic
found themselves swimming for life slope to admiring thousands. My friend
Kruin was master' of the situation, but , tried to catch the eye of his old adversary,
stupidly declined the advantage. As the j but in vaiu.
party clinging to the oars swam away, The creature's ill-temper seemed to sur-
they saw the bear regarding their exer- vive his many rights and lon.i confinement;
