WATCUIXO FOR PAPA.
Tip to the Window a llina lilll. 1
L.nm a and Mamie's, nd two-year old
Wltat are they doing there all in a row,
Bobbing up, bobbing down, every way so ?
Watching for papa to eome home to tea. I
Hear i iheir papa to all of the three ; j
Which pair of little eyes, Rparkling and
liriehf
Think you will be first to see hini to night,? '.
Hark ! w ho is that now whoso footsteps they
hear? 1 J
Far out are heads stretched to nee Liui draw
near ;
Snmeliody' papa, perhaps, but not theirs
C p to the three eager faces be ntares. '
Hack from the window bobs eachlittle head:
"Papa, make haste now," says dear baby
Fred ;
Now they all see him just coming in sight;
Hark, how they clap hands, aud scream with
delight.
TTappy at last, not a moment to wait,
They race to th-j door at a great rate.
Joyfully papa the little troop meets.
Each rosy mouth with glad kisses he greets.
Up in his strong aims he takes little Fred.
Mamie and Iuln go dancing ahead ;
Into the house now all four of them come,
Mamma stands smiling her bright welcome
home.
Palling and tugging they make him sit
down.
One brings his slippers, another his gown ;
llaund him they hover and chatter with glee,
While Aunt Maria is getting ready the tea.
Little they know how their sweet loving
ways
Comfort, him after the wearisome days ;
Anns full and laps full of dear little'pets,
All of his worries and cares he forgets.
A FOll LIFE.
The merchant ship Druid, from Bombay
for London, lay becalmed off the west
coast of Ilindoostan, between Goa and
Mangalore, where the Gdautz mountains
were seen towering in savage grandeur,
thousands of feet in air, with wild torrents
leaping down the rocks, flashing through
the din of thunder.
"If the wind doesn't rise ero to-morrow
morning, wo will have to anchor," said the
captain to Robert Win field, a handsome
young naval lieutenant on leave of absence
from bis frigate, stationed at Bombay.
"I don't want to lay the ship's bones on
that coast, nor do I like to get too Dear it.
I have Jteaid bad stories of the natives
there ; at any rate, I believe that almost
every Hindoo is a thief and murderer by
nature. "
Bell Upton, daughter of Major Upton
who was bound home from his Iudia regi
ment, on 6ick leave, heard these words,
aud, shuddering, drew closely to the side of
her invalid father.
A quick glance was then exchanged be
tween her and the young lieutenant, whose
teasfuiing look seemed at once to dispel
her fear.
Major Upton, noticing the glance, frown
ing, said to his aaaguter, "tome, lien, let
us go below."
Winfield had been a suitor of Bell's since
she came to visit her father at Bombay,
some months before. The girl favored him.
but not so the major, who wanted her to
choose a wealthier suitor.
Bell was beautiful, with a form of nnri-
valled grace, brown eyes, a clear pearl white
skin, with very little color, and dark golden
hair that fell in rippling masses over a pair
of magnificent shoulders.
The lieutenant watched her admiringly
until she disappeared in lite cabin.
"No harm shall befall her, not while I
live !" he thought, as ho glanced uneasily
towards the coast. "We have arms on
board, have we not?" he added aloud to
tho captain.
"Ay, ay, sir; but it isn't likely we shall
be attacked. We at e full two leagues from
tho coast, and before we are near enough
to be boarded, a bicczo will spring up I
have no doubt."
A few bouts later night closed round the
ship. The sky was covered by thick clouds
which obscured the moon and seemed to
betoken that a breezo would come before
long.
Meanwhile, tho ship having drifted a
league nearer tho coast, the lieutenant
thought the captain very careless not to
have more than his one lookout forward
posted on so dark a night.
Before eleven o'clock the quarter deck
was deserted by all save the officer of the
walcii, a lazy fellow, who was now stretched
on the c.iipenter's chest half asleep, while
tho watch forward, as Winfield, who stood
leaning over the rail amidships, could icr
ceivo by the light of a lantern in the fore
rigging, lay reclining on tho hatch, some
of thorn snoring.
Not feeling sleepy, the youni; lieutenant
resolved to go aloft on the mizzentop-sail-yard
to watch for the first sign of a breeze.
Arrived on the yard, the gloom was so
intense that he could uot see the water be
low, all hough he still gazed in that direc
tion. Was it reality or only imagination?
he thought be could detect a dim outline
of something shooting reuud tlie ship's
stern.
lie was about descending, when tho
clouds parting over the moon, a flood of
Rilvery light was poured down on ship and
water, revealing ft spectacle that filled the
young man with horror a scene so sudden
and unexpected, that his very heart seemed
to stand BUil 1
While he was aloft, Bell Upton had come
out ou the quarter deck, and now stood
with her back to the rail, about two feet
from it, her Lead bowed, as if she was in
deep thought, so that her beautiful whito
nack shone like polished ivory in the clear
moonlight.
Unseeu, unheard by the young girl, a
Hindoo, with a long, lithe body, naked to
tie waist, had clambered up tho side, from a
long canoe, containing half a dozen of his '
companions, aud had contrived to glide, J
serpent-like, on the outside of the ship, j
until he had obtained a position directly j
behind her, when he had drawn a large !
diik, whicd he was now on the poinc of i
plinging into the snowy neck of the fair
passenger, that she might give no alarm. I
The lieutenant's hand clenched tho yard '
like a vice as he beheld the young lady's
pen I.
!Ie must save her lie would save her, he
thought ; and yet, how was this to be done ?
To give an alarm would ouly hasten the
gitl's doom ; to descend, no matter how
quickly, by means of one of the back stays,
would bo of no more use, as she would per
iL before he could reach the deck and at
tempt to stay the deadly hand !
There was no time to loso ; in three sec
onds the diik would descend aud tho girl
would be killed at one stroke, so that the
murderer's companions, who had already
began to ascend the vessel's sido, could
pounco on the drowsy male occupants of
the deck, and slaying them, make them
solve masters of the ship, almost before a
warning could be given !
Like a lightning Mash, the instinct of
love, the resolution to save Bell in some
manner from this immediate attick sent a
sudden thought to the brain of the agouized
spectator.
The Hindoo murderer, in his position on
the outside of the ship, was under rue lieu
tenant, although about forty feet below
him ; while tho girl standing two feet from
the rail, was in easy reach of the uative,
whose arm and body, as stated, were now
drawn back from the bulwarks, to give
force to the meditated blow.
The young man, therefore, deemed that
it would bo an easy matter to reach the
Hindoo in the only way it could now be
done with sufficient rapidity to prevent the
accomplishment of his deadly purpose a
way at once noveland desperate, and which
would, perhaps, involve his own destruc
tion. In a word, Lieutenant Winfield, not hesi
tating to risk life or limb for the woman he
loved, resolved to drop down from near the
end of the mizzen topsail yard upon tho
Hindoo, forty feet below, and thus dash
him from the rail into the sea, perhaps kill
him ere he con Id deal the fatal blow wii.li
his uplifted dirk.
Ho would utter a shrill cry a warning
to the crew as he cleaved the air, thus
rousing them, perhaps, in time to meet tha
attack of the robbers, and insure tho furth
er safety of Bell and the ship.
The emergency admitted of no delay.
The young man, clutching the yard near
the end, huug by it a second, to make sure
he was in a line with the Hindoo beneath ;
then, just as the diik was about to descend,
he let go of the spar with a long, wild cty
that pierced every corner of the ship, aud
down he went, cleaving thiough the air
with terrific velocity.
There was a whirling, rushing soundt
then a loud thud, as the heavy boot heels
of the falling body crashed upon the head
of the dusky native ere he could use his
knife, dashing him from the rail into the
sea, and killing him instantly.
Tho watch had heard the warning cry of
the lieutenant, and ere the other natives
could recover from their surprise, caused by
the occurrence which had so suddenly and
uuexiectcd!y broken upon them, the decks
were aiive wim tne wnoie crew, uihu
which the gang of robbers beat a hasty re
treat. Meanwhile Bell Upton had been so be
wildered by the sudden, fearful cry she
had heard, and the subsequent splash of
the two bodies falling in the water, that
not till a boat was lowered aud the lieuten
ant, who had been struggling in the sea, was
brought aboard and into the cabin to ex
plain in a faint voice how he had saved her
life, did sle clearly comptebeud all that
had taken place.
Then she threw herself down by the
prostrate form of her lover, and hung over
him in agony, fearing tint he was fatally
injured. Soon, however, the ship's doctor
gave cheering information to the contrary.
The young man had sustained a fearful
shock from his contact with the Hindoo's
body ; but, as that body bad offered little
resistance to his downward progress when
he struck it in fact, as it had been simply
driven before him into the sea his lower
limbs, although p u tially paralyzed for Ihe
time, were not broken.
He had however, fallen dangerously near
the rail; a roll of the ship to the other
side, era he let go of the topsail yard to de
scend, would have caused him to fall on
the bulwarks, when, of course, he would
have been killed.
Never before." said the doctor, "did I
hear of such a daring per form at ice."
"Ay J" exclaimed Major Upton, with ad
miration and gratitude. "God bless him 1
Here, Bell, he shall have you, girl, for ho
Las well earned you !"
He put both hands of his daughter, who
Lad clasped her lover's neck, in the lieu
tenant's, and tHrncd Ida head to bide a few
tears cm bis bronzed cheek.
Immediately after the young man had
been brought aboard, an oil' shore breeze
sprang up, enabling the captain to head
seaward.
In due time the vessel reached her home
port, when the lieutenant, who had by this
time fully recovered from the effects of his
fall, claimed his beautiful ana willing
' bride,

AAlSCDOl'ES OF ANIMALS.
AN EXTRAORDINARY DOO.
A corresiondent of the Phila. Time has
this to say about the wonderful sagacity of
a very remarkable canine :
In the letter you published from Duluth,
dated the 17th of Jul-, mention was made
of tho loss of tho steamer St. Clairon Lake
Supeiior, Among the passengers lost was
a man named Stewart, of Duluth. lie had
a small Knglisb spaniel, which swam
ashore. The dog was well known at Du
luth and along I ho Northern Pacific Bail
road, and was remarkable for his inlclli
gcnc3 and sagacity. His owner was cm
ployed by the Northern Pacific lioad to
measure timber delivered by conti actors.
The dog would take the end of tho taie
line and go to the end of a log, sixty or
seventy feet long, and hold it at the end
while his master would hold it at the other,
and do this all day, or until all the timber
was measured. His master would send
him to the post office, simnlv savin" to
him, "Go up get letters ;" the dog would j
go to the post olhce and go around to one
of the cleiks, look at htm, wag his tail,
and was so well known that the clerk would
give him the letters, which he would cany
back to his master, and in tho same way
would carry letters which his master had
written to the office to bo mailed. His
scent was very acute. Coming home from
the woods one day, Steait was met on the
road by a company of young people, who
had been on a picnic about half a mile
away. One of the young ladies had loft
her parasol on the ground. Stewart called
his dog, and jxmuing to tho path, said,
Go find, and luing here." The dog was
gone about fifteen or twenty minutes, and
returned with the parasol. A pile of lum
ber, put in Slew ail's charge, was being
stolen. Stewart called his dog, took him
to the pile, aud said, "Vatch it aud see
who takes it." Two or three days after
wards the dog came to hint iu the morning,
and, by signs familiar to his master, told
hitn to follow him. Stewart took a police
man wiili him, and told the dog to go on,
and he lid them about a quarter of a mile,
to a shanty, occupied by a Swede, on the
bank of the lake. They looked under the
shanty, ana saw a large pile of boards.
Tho Swede was arrested, taken before the
justice, and Ctewart told the justice what
the dog had done. The justice at once
couvicted the Swede of the l&rceny. A
great many other doings of the dog are
known to the people of Duluth, and it is
to be hoped that he will fall into good
Lauds. 11.
TWO FRIEXDS.
A gentleman owned a fine horse, which
was very fond of him, and would como
from the pasture at the sound of his voice,
and follow him about like a dog. At the
time, the hoiso became lame, and was
obliged to stay in his stable. An old cat
had made her nest upon the scaffold just

there her little family of five kittens. She
anil the horse got on nicely for some days.
She jumped down in his manger and went
off for food, and then came back and leaped
up to her kittens agaiu. But one morning
she rolled off into the manger, with her
foot badly hutt, so that she could scarcely
crawl; still she managed to limp away ou
three feet and get her breakfast ; but when
she came back she was unable to get up to
her kittens. What do you think she did ?
She lay down at the horse's feet and mewed
and looked up several times, till at last
pony, seeminz to understand her wants
reached down, took her in his teeth, and
tossed her up ou to the scaffold to her kit
tens. This was repeated morning after
tnoining. Kit would roll oil" into the mang
er and get her breakfast, come back aud be
tossed up to her family by the kind horse,
who must have understood cat language
and been willing to listen to it.
THE TWO EI.EniAXTS.
Two very young elephants, male and
female, had lieeti separated, in order to be
conveyed singly to Paris; not having seen
one another for several months, tho joy
they expressed on meeting again is not to
be described. Hiiuning instantly together
they uttered a cry of delight that shook
the whole building, and blew the air out of
t heir 1 1 links with violence, resembling the
blast of a smith's bellows. The female's
pleasure seemed to be more lively ; she ex
pressed il by moving her ears with aston
ishing rapidity and tenderly twining her
tiuuk around the body of the main. She
laid it particularly to his ear, where she
held it for a considerable lime motionless
and, after having folded it again about his
body, she applied it to her own mouth.
Then llu male in like manner folded his
trunk around Ihe body of the female, and
the pleasure he felt seemed to be of a
more sentimental kind, for he expressed it
by shedding an abundance of tears. After
wards they haJ one stable in common, and
their mutual attachtucut excited much iu

Jane's liking would bo strengthened into
red hot, diamond pin, flat footed love. So
ho kept still and pondeicd, and then he
hit on a plan to smash the courtship of
Augustus into smithereens.
At the boaiding houso where Augustus
lived, there lived also two youths of his ngc
and sex, who were as full as mischief as a
caucus is of seekers for ofiice. So papa
Jones went to them and unfolded his p'.ui.-,
and oflcred them ten dollars each to bring
about a successful cud. Within a week
they Lad the liiouey, and this is Low thcy

Augustus was to call on Mary Jane that
evening, so of course ho put on his best
cloihcs for the occasion. Half an hour be
fore ho went to Lis room to dress, Lis
friends went there and took Lis best
coat from the wardrobe. TLcy ripped
open tho liuiug between the bhoulders aud
put inside a couplo of very thin slices of
Limbcrgcr cheese. You know what that
is if you have any familiarity with German

Augustus diesscd and started for old
Jones' house. He changed his scat two or
three times in the street car, aud when ho
reached the door steps Le turned agaiu
aud again, like a dog about to lie down ;
but twas no use.
He usually occupied a scat on the sofa
at Mary Jane's side ; but that evening she
was inclined to dignity, ai:d occupied an
arm chair a couple of yaids away. She
went tw ice out of the room to dip her hand
kerchief iu Cologue water aud the second
time she brought the bottles and oflcred
some to Augustus.
After ho had gone borne and chauged
his clothes, one of the boys took Liui to
walk, while the other restored Lis coat to
its former condition, lie examined it very
carefully before Le went to bed, aud natu
rally discovered nothing wrong except the
scent of the roses rcmaiuiug there still.
But when, three evenings later, be again
visited Mary Jane, the trick was repeated.
Old Jones Lad taken pains to hide the Co

fainted and Le culled to her folks She
