THE CONCERTS
Such a concert, dear, as I've bed to-nlghl
Full of sweet sound and deep delight;
And yet "tbe bouse'' was poor:
Poor, If you count my crowded seats;
But judging only glad house-beats,
Twas a splendid bow, I'm sine.
First, Baby sang as' well as she coold
Some sweet little ootes that I understood ;
And wee Kate's chirp of e laugh broke out
As Willy ran In wltb a merry about;
Tba pnssy purred oo the rug la sisie.
And tbe good clock licked, " ft Intel Its
later
While over tbe fire tbe kettle sang
Its cheery soog with tbe least little twang.
That was Part First, you must know, my
dear
When only we five were there to bear,
Tbe Are crackled applause;
Tba baby's soft little pat-a-eake
Made reckless eocoree for the music's sake,
And pussy floiirisbsd her paws.
Well, tbe Second Part? Ah. that was fine
Fine to tbe bean's core, lover mine!
For over tbe kettle'a winsome plant,
And tbe baby's breathing, sweet end faint.
And over tbe prattle of Will and Ktte, '
And tbe clock's Impellent "Late! It's late!'
I heard tba blessedest sound of all
A-click of tba latch, a step la the ball!
And "Home, Sweet Home,' pulsed th air
As you come calling up the stair.

A Pcxpcrate Encounter.
A professional hunter In Oregon, named
Repzs, wont out wi th bis dog and gun In
search of sport. Ha worked HI way to
Martin's Island, 4a tba Colambla River.
Hera tba bound started aa animal hi tba
busb, we quote:
"Repts suspicion! from the baying of
tbs dog that the anient pursued was either
a hear or panther. Ha accordingly tan
from iha thick JiimbM la wbicb he was
(tandlng towards tbe edge of the water, A
C ear ce orsemal rods divided tbrjbrnsh
aod tbe river margin. Oo reaching the
bank Repzs balled, and placed himself In
aa attitude of defence. In a few minutes
tbe bound emerged from the timber, and
came running tewards its master. Immed
iately following tbe dog, and in bol pursuit,
a large and ferocious paotber bounded in
sight. Repzs raised bis gun lo bit tboulder
aod fired. Tbe ball took effect In tba jswt
ol tbe animal, but did not infliot any ser
ious injury nor retard its advance towards
the buuter. On firing, Ropzs retreated Into
tbe water up to bis arm-pits. Tbe wound
ed and Infuriated animal sprang after and
'tackled' tL buuter. Tbe dog came to tba
rescue of its master, and made it so warm
for tbe panther that it abandoned Reps
and turned on lb bound. Repzs waded
out towards tbe bsok, turned around and
fired tbe secood barrel of his gun at tbe
panther.
Tbe losd was large bockahot, and look
effect in the panther's side. Tbe wound
waa very revere, but did not entirely dis
able the animal, wblcb was getting tbe
best of the dog. Seeing that tbe bonnd
would soon be drowned, Repzs resolved to
rescue it it possible. He had discharged
both barrels of his gun, and cast aside bis
large bowie knife In th edit of th timbtf
when be started to rotrat to tb water . No
time, however, was lo be lost, and Repil
sprang into tba river to save hi dog. By
tbls time tbe paotber bad lost much blood,
and was growing weak from exhaustion.
Tbe bnn'.er who was a powerful man, ttiz
ed hold of tbe panther's head, and, after a
fierce 'tussle,' broke lit bold on tha hound.
The panther now;iurned on Repzs. A loog
and desperate encounter ensued between
the hunter, psnther, and tba dog. At last
Repzs sncoeeded io keepin g tba aoimal's
nose under the water until It wat quite
dead, after wbich be drew tbe body to the
shore aod fainted Irom his wounds and pure
exhaustion. The hunter wat severely lac
erated la tbe conflict, and bas scarcely been
able to leave bis bed since.
