PEARL.
"Listen, Pearl, and mind all I say."
"Yes, papa."
"('an you take tare of mother all
day?"
"Of course 1 can, papa. Are you
going away?"
"Yes, Sam ami I have to go after
those yearlings. Hut let everything
else go for mother, dear. Always re
member that. If she's the least bit
nervous toward night, don't leave her
a moment, my bird, but let the ani
mals take care of themselves."
Pearl lived on the shores of the great
Mississippi, far down, where .lack
Frost never gets a very tight grip on ,
things, and lets go very early, ;LS
Madam Spring comes smiling about
ller fattier was getting poorer and
poorer year by year, as his worn-out
land grew less productive with every
season of slack tillage, until he found
it hard to wring from it a living for
his small family. The -.t.H-k dwindled
down to a few poor ill-kept creatures
which looked as if forlornly wonder
ing within themselves whether it Were j
really worth while to live or not
Pearl's father had something of the
same look himself, which increased as
his wife grew weakly, and suddenly
sank into the condition of a gentle inva
lid, content to be waited upon, with
out, perhaps, over pausing to ask
whether she really stood in need of it. j
You may think Pearl must have had
a very sad childhood. Hut she had
never known any other place nor any
other children, and was so happy ;n
her own bright, unselfish little nature
as never to have suspected anything
depressing in her surrounding-. lVarl
throve as nothing else on the place
throve, even under the burden of care
which came to her t<>o young -how
ering back upon her mother so m.inv
caresses anil such loving care that it
would l>c hard to say which looked
most upon the other as a child.
"I'll get your breakfast, pet. Wait
till you see what I've got for you."
Pearl skip]*sl about in great glee at
being left in charge all day, ami, after
the usual amount of small fussing,
carried in the tray with a face full of
anticipation of her mother's delight.
"The first branch of crape myrtle. I
found it peeping out in the sunny cor
ner of the old pasture. You dear little
mamma"—a dozen ki-i.scs on her thin
hands—"if you could only go with me
to see all the beauttful things' Hut
I'll bring you every one. Papa
thought that he had found the first
magnolia bud the other day, but I
won't take a single taste of egg. There
isn't enough for yoti."
•Must a taste, Jitle one."
"Not one bit. Nee what a great
strong thing lam! You must have
the good things to make you well."
The lassie set her foot down, and
mamma never dreamed that there was
something almost heroic in the refusal
of the tempting morsel, the little girl
having just turned away from her own
uninviting breakfast of bucor. and corn
bread.
"The river looks curious, mamma,
dear." she said, chatting over the wild
flowers she was arranging on the table
as she spread their feast. "1 went
out into the I mat to piny, and, when I
wanted to get out the water was be
tween it and the shore, so I had to
Jump."
"Why, Pearl, are you sure?"
"Yes, mamma; and 1 was afraid I
eouldn' get it in again; so I untied it
and held the rope till it floated to the
little buoy, and then I pulled it in and
tied it. It w;ts hard work, too."
"Can the river IKJ rising? i wish
they were not away, daughter."
Tho helpless woman looked out of
the window with n troubled face. The
floods of tho year before had done but
| l , • *
little injury in their neighborhood,
the hind lying much above the rivet
level. Hut she knew that this was
duo to the strength of the levees many
miles above, and remembering having
hoard people say that they never
would stand another pressure of high
water. The river was not yet as high
as she had seen it, but she observed
with some uneasiness that it had ad
vanced upon them perceptibly during
the last few hours.
"I don't believe tho levee will
break through," she said, trying to en
courage herself and Pearl.
Their dinner was eaten rather more
soberly than ouite suited tho little girl;
but after everthing was cleared awav,
site had taken another look outside
both felt better at perceiving that the
waters seemed at a stand-still.
"llring me tho brush fur your pretty
hair, Pearl."
It was ono ot tho few things she
still had energy to do, this brushing
and fondling of the child's hair. No
one, seeing its beautiful luxuriance,
could wonder at Iter loving admiration.
Pearl took innocent pleasure in it as
one of the tilings which mode her
sweet to father and mother, and
laughed as mamma loosened the soft
braids and held up the wavv mass to
catch the sunshine. '
"Papa says it's my golden flag," she
said.
"When I was out hunting old Snow
last week, he knew it was me when I
was a mile away."
"Then you must hang out your flag
whenever you want him to find you.
I wish auntie were hero to help von
to-day, my pet."
Hut tho hand which held th<> long
goldcp braid -uddenly dropped.
"Look there, I'carl!"
Pearl sprang up. and saw trees not
j far away from thir door standing in
water, where water had n<-\cr been
j ln-fore. In .ne moment's glance -he
i marked how tlf river was broadening
i ami swelling. There was no sudden
! rush or roar as would have been the
ease with a narrower stream, or one
with high banks; but there was
still s uuothuig mysterious and terri
ble in the low sound, half-hissing,
i half-murmuring, with which the piti
less flood was half creeping upon them.
She turned with one thought in her
j brave little heart of caring for her
mother a- she ho 1 promised.
"Mamma darling, don't be frighten
ed. You must get to the boat—you
can, I know, win n I 'most carry you."
i Hut the poor woman cried and trem
j bled.
"Oh. why dii| you leave us! The
I levee has broken. We shall lwdrown
j ed. Pearl, all alone here,"
Pearl had rushed out to the boat.
Most fortunately the bank to which
she had touid ani secured it was
high. I'rawing it now much nearer
i the hotisi-. she came and hurriedly pr<>-
pan-d her la other, cooing to her all the
while en tearing words of em mrage
( ment, never letting her guess how
her own face grew pah-and lu-r heart
stood still at the sight of the danger
which gathered faster and fa.-r<r so
near them. Again site ran to the boat,
and this time, with dripping feet
i moored it the door.
"Now, mamma -quick!" Pearl could
never tell how she got her in. When
it was a'-i mphshed. slit* brought a few
of the more valuable articles in the
house and placed them Is-side in-r.
Hefore all this was done site per
ceived with increased alarm the vio
lence with which the long-imprisoned
waters bore down upon them. They
te at angrily against the house, and re
dout list her anxiety to get away from
it. Hut at the last moment she ol>-
servc-1 how the toat rocked and tossed,
and tho Idea suddenly flashed upon
her that her mother would lie safer if
she herself remained behind.
"Mamma, I'm going to stay here
while you go in the boat. When you
get below the bend they will see you
and get you. Tell papa to come for
j me. Tell him I took rare of you; and
don't be frightened, yon dear, dear
mamma!" she gave Iter one long em
brace, untied and threw in the ro|w\
and carefully stepped l>a<-k to the up
per step of the door. Her mother hail
not guessed her intention till the cur
rent was carrying them far apart.
She half arose with a scream of dismay.
"Oh. I'carl! niv Pearl! come to me!
I shall die without you! And what
will become of you ?" She caiight'ono
glimpse of the brave little white fnee
smiling at tier, as the child called
cheerily after her:
"Mon't le frightened, darling. I'll
come to you just as soon a* I can. tiod
will take care of you." And then tho
rushing waters shut out every other
sound.
In her alarm and despair the mother
could have flung herself from the lioat.
How tender the little fare was, and
how smnll the ehildish figure, a* it
stood there for tho Inst word of en
couragement to her! Pearl's face
I, grew paler as the timbers of the old
tr house groaned und creaked. Her lit
is tie white kitten came mewing piteously
y to her feet, and she took it in her arms,
g while she hastily took a bundle of pa
■r pels front her father's desk. Then she
It walked through water ankle-deep to
It reach the stairs to tho half-story above,
d and she climbed them wondering il
I- the water would come to her there be
g fore papa came. Ho btid gone some
distance inland, but she knew be
11 would come for her as soon as he could,
i- What a wild waste of waters she
looked out upon ! She saw barns,
o sheds, sometimes a house, sweeping
I; down the river. Bho saw their own
', barn swing out into the current and
> t float away. She could hear the watei
0 rushing through tho doors and win
dows below, ami wondered how soon
v the house would break away, and fol
| low those she hod seen going down the
3 i stream.
1 \ "I must hang out mv golden flag, so
i papa will see me." Pearl unbraided
, ; In-r bright hair, and looked wistfully
. : out.
s Hut the weary afternoon wore away,
r and night came with its gloom and its
I chill. Poor little Pearl's courage ill*
I most failed in the darkness. Bhe sol*

seemed so much more terrible than
when it was light—then knelt down
anil said Iter prayers, asking first that
1 m.noma might I•• cared for, then her
' -elf, and, feeling comforted in the full
faith that toil would remember tin in
! Ii th, resolutely set herself to keep
awake until papa -liould come. Hut
1 licr head dropped on the window-sill,
and she soon slept quietly. The winged
■ messengers who wait on the prayers of
a child surely guarded her rest with
genth t rare, f■ -r when at bust the
1 strained timbers gave way, and the
1 old boii-e i.ade a . .en to the foundations
1 iii vvlii" bit had ti'd for many a long

"1 -aw your shining flag. Pearl, my

!'• arl opened Iter sleepy cy.stosee
the ne rn ng sun ! < nning upon her.
All the trei - upon the l ank were run

window into a b v held by two other
men close to the bouse, which still
roi ked and heaved a- it*settled dceju r

"Oh-h-h ' Well, then, papa, get my

A* she m aris) the shore she ojs-ned
her eyes in amazement, almost in
fright.
"That's mamma!" she cried, "stand

Hut mamma met I '•-arl at the very

hard to understand. All I can tell
about it is that the gnat excitement
and some very serious thinking had
worked a wonderful hange in Pearl's
mother.
Mie now looked out at the house,
and saw the water pairing in at the
window from which the idol of her

The Waste of Animal Food,'
The flesh of domestic animals fit for

many rouptrics, since it can not le lo
cally consumed nor profitably preaerv
ed. In the river Plate republic! alone
there are *0,(100,000 sheep and 25,000.-
000 cattle to a imputation of 2,500,000,
For years sheep were only valued
there for their wool, and, when flayed
carcasses were left to rot, or, when
dried in the sun. piled up in stacks for
fuel, while later on they were Imilcd
down for their tallow. Nheep get very
fat in the province of lluenos Ayrcs,
and those of three and four years will
give frequently from eighteen to
twenty-five pounds of tallow. foiitVU
leaa numbers of sheep are boiled down
. every year in the so-called "grascrias"
only for tho tallow, which forms one
l of the staple articles of export. The
mutton is thrown away, or used in a
dry state as fuel. In the five years
ending with 1850, more than 1,500,000
sheep and 200,000 horned cattle were
lmibd down simply for their tallow, in
the colonies of New South AVales and
Victoria, We F.nglish are great meat
eaters, and, as our home supply 1
quite Insuflieierit, we have to import
more than 600,000 tons every year.
I With the growth of our population,
and the decreasing number of live
' stock at home, the imports of meat
from nhroad have prodigiously-increased

recollection of good and nolile deeds
innocent pleasures and pure thoughts
save friends, save love. .Save rich
stores of that kind of wealth which
time cannot diminish nor death take
away.
Illp. Ilip, Hurrah!
Very few people who cry "Hip. hip
hurrah!" with such gusto, know any

chances were greatly in favor of the
Jew's feeling the point of their aworda.
