Several years ago while leading the migratory life of a district school teacher fate laid the scene of my ditily labors in s tiny Bchoolhouse among the Boylston hills. It was a lovely, though lonely place. On one aide the hills, in gently sloping descent, melted softly into the pebbly beach ol "Old Ontario" and on the other rose, crest on crest, as far as the eye could see. One building alone gladdened my eyes a large red barn a half mile away. Before the school house lay the broad meadows belonging to the owner of the barn, while behind it a tangled thicket of bushes and slender second-growth trees almost brushed the low rojf. My scholais with one exception were the usual assortment or freckled, tanned, fVowsly, barefooted boys and girls usually found in a country school. This notable exception was Sam Sharp, an exceedingly Drignt, aoll boy. tor though fourteen years old and scarcely keeping his place in a class of children not much more than half bis age,- be was yet the quickest-witted, the mos observ ing and the handiest boy I ever knew. Add to this that he was good-natured, truthful and fearless and exceedingly handsome the accusation that "the teacher favored Sam Sharp" was not, per haps, entirely without foundation. When I first came to the liUle hill schoolhouse the children entertained me with many gruesome tales of the wild animals which sometimes came down from the North Woods, and were appa rently particularly partial to that locali ty. "Why," said Sam Sharp, "right here, on this very spot, in the bushes back of the U'hooluouse, they killed a bear last year. You ought to have seen his claws ; and there wasn't a thing in his stomach ! If school bad a kept then likely 'notigh he'd made a meal of some of us. Wouldn't Miuty Smith a made him a good frjuare one, he's so fat?" Here Minty set np a wail, "I won't be et up by a bear if I am fat the other children shouted with laaghter, and such a tumult prevailed I was obliged to ring the bell and thus shorten the noon in termission by ten minutes. But I d.d not forget the bear, and many were ine uneasy glances 1 cast toward the thicket behind my rustic temple of learning. But no fiery-eyed, red-tongued, black head ever peered at me from the green depths, and I forgot the bear in the still more blood-curdling tale of the panther, told me by no lees authority than the school trustee. Two years ago," be said, "a panther came down irotn ine woods ana com menced rampagin 'mong the animals. One night he killed a calf of mine and three days after two sheep over on the turnpike, and none knows how many other critters he killed we never heard of, for he was all over like bad weather. One night we heark him over in Hem lock Lake swamp cry in' like s baby, the next night my boy Bill heard him over on the Petcrboro road ten mile from here, where he'd been to a dance, and he was fin'ly shot by Mike Mullen not forty rods from your school house door." Then for several weeks I heard stealthy steps and felt a hot breath on my neck, s half dozen times at least, dnring my mile walk through the thick September mists to the school house. And, surely, those were ths thickest mints that ever wrapped any hills, they blotted every thing from my sight but a short stretch of road before me. The lowing of cattle, the neighing of horses, ths voices of people, came to me from them with tbs weirdness and un reality we feel when a dog barks at mid night And as, with ears strained in list ening and cold chills traversing my spine. I walked the lonely road, many queer fancies came to me born of my loneliness and fears. If tbs panther should devour me, ould my wraith haunt ths road? Would travelers, walking through ths mists, be startled by a pale-faced woman passing them with harrying steps, and shivering, backward looks? And would she wear frizzle, and carry a tin dinner pail? As this or some other ridiculous conclusion came to ms I would laugh, and in a revulsion of feeling come, out of ths lifting mists, into spicy odors and merry child-life. September mists gave way to bright October a veritable golden month the late frosts, which had delayed almost to its beginning, glorified the hillsides into such wonderful beauty, I seemed to be living in a new world. No monster had come from the thicket no dark form had bounded, with child like cry, from ths mists. October was almost gone, vacation was only a month away, in ths pleasant pres ent, and anticipated future, I had for gotten my fears. One day, shortly after the beginning of the afternoon session, I saw Sam Sharp's uplifted hand. As he never asked unnecessary questions I broke tbs rale "No questions daring reci- tations" and asked, "What is it, Sam There was something besides mischief in the bright black eyes raised to mine, aa he said : "There is a new scholar in the scuooinouse yard, lie seems to be a little bashful about comins in. He's eat ing hi lunch, now. Shall I go out and ask him to come in when he is through? "Certainly, Sam," I said, "go and in vite him in. We'll try and make him feel at home, and he'll forget hisbashful- ness when he finds we are all kis friends." A look of amusement curiously ming led with somethinelse came over Sam's i-te as he walked out of the school-room, into the entry, carefully closing the door behind him. The next moment I heard the outside door close, and the key turn in the lock. Before I coald wonder at Sam's strange conduct, he came in and beckoning to me said in a low voice, "Come and see the new scholar." I went ts the window, and looking out in the yard, saw an enor mous black bear walking around, picking np the crusts of bread and cake the chil dren had thrown from their dinner-pails at noon ! A mist passed before my eyes the black form looked as large as an elephant and multiplied before me until the yard seemed full of bears. "What shall we do, Sm?" I gasped, grasping his rough boyish hand in mine. "Close the shutters as quick as we can,' he whispered, and in a moment almost, we had fastened the heavy wooden, in side blinds, and thick darkness shut out the face of the wondering children. Then I said in a low voice, "Children don't movtor stir there'sa bear in the yard." The children only too well knew their danger, and save a soft rustle as some little one crept nearer an older brother or sister no sound broke the stillness ex cept Yarn's step as be stole into the tiny woodshed and fastened the back door with its heavy bar. Then he mounted guard at the front door, where through a chink, he could watch the movements of the bear. An hour passed thus. Every moment the feeling of horror grew more unbeara ble. Once Sam came in to say the bear was still roaming around, but had made no movement toward the schoolhouse. Another uneasy half hour assedand as I sat revolving a hundred wild plans for our deliverance .Sm again crept soft ly to my side. "He is getting restless," he whispered, "and I'm afraid if he comes nearer he'll find out we are here, and you know the lower pannel of the door is cracked and it won't stand much pushing so I'm going to s'sp out the back door and go through the bushes and get help." "Oh, Sam !" I gasped, "dont ; he'll hear you and then " I paused, shuddering at the thought " "No, he won't," said Sam resolutely, "the bushes will hide me ; and see here," thrusting something cold in my hand, "there is my pistol. I've carried it in my pocket all the term, without yoa knowing it. If be tries to get in he can't anywhere except in front fire this right in his face. Tain't likely you'd kill bim unless you happened to hit him in toe eye, but you might tirigbten him off. It ain't more 'n half a mile cross lota to Mike Mullen's and I'll be back with him and a gun less 'n no time. "Oh, Sam:" I shuddered, "I can't fire a pistol off: I don't know which end goes otr:" Was there a shaie of contempt in Sam's voice as he showed me which was the business end or the pistol, and told me bow to bold it? If there was I waa too cowed to resent it With many prayers for his safety, I let the brave boy out of the back door, and barred it behind him, then sat down to my weary waiting. Suddenly I heard a loud suulling at the front door, then heavy steps and low growls making circuit of the schoolhouse, then a "thump" on the front door that made it crack, aud the growls grew louder and angrier. A time of terror followed the bear ran round and round the house, shaking the doors, dashiDg bis great paws through the windows, whose heavy inside shut ters held fast, and roaring with the pain of the cuts the broken glass gave him. At last the sagacious brute seemed to real'ze that ths only weak spot in our defense was the front door, and concen trated all his fury there. All this time the brave children had mude no sound. As for me though I knew unless help came quickly I or some of uiy little charge must surely perish 1 was never calmer in my life. Without emotion I thought of my dis tant home I saw the gulden fruited hop vines the grape vine swinging in the woods the maple trees before the house I wondered what my sisters wt re doing and I wondered if my mother sat in the Boston rocker knitting. I felt a vague regret that I had not mended the tear in my dress that morn ing instead of reading a novel until the last moment Some of my Sunday-school lessons came to my mind among them the story of the bears that devoured the mocking Jewish cbi'dren. But my dear little children were not mocking, nor was I such a very wicked girl if 1 did read novels instead of mending my clothes and sometimes went to sleep in church. And then a flood of self pity came over me, and hot tears rained silently down my, cheeks. Then ' split, crash," the rotten panel had broken, I flew to the entry door the bear's hideous head was in the hole, and hs was trying to csowd his body through. A feeling of despair came over me, then a sudden anger should I quietly submit a terrible death for myself or the little ones in my care ? Desperate rage overwhelmed all other feeling, and grasping the pistol I rushed into the entry. Just then another piece of the door flew off with a bard crack, and the bear roared with almost human tnumph. Until now perfect quiet had reigned inside, but one child, frantic with re pressed emotion, shrieked wildly. A of fear swept through the school room, and the children ran around screaming frantically, begging their parents, their friends, me to save them. How did Sam any the pistol went? I grew frantic with anger, all feeling but an intense thirst for the blood of the hor rible brute went from me, and wild with rage I dashed ths pistol in his face.' It struck him on ths doss and went off. ra Startled by the report and Cash ths beatt recoiled and frantically pawed his burn ed burned nose. I flew back into the school-room seized the heavy poker, and with al! my strength brought it down opon his great black head, springing back just in time to avoid the cluch of his claws which tore a great piece from my dress. Then I heard the sound of voices, ths barking of a dog, and three shots were fired in quick suc cession. With a roar of dying rage, ths bear plunged forward and bringing the door with him, fell full length in the little entry dead. Faint with joy I leaned against the wall. With s roguish twin in his eyes, Sam came to ms and said, "Well, teacher, how do yoa like that scholar? I think we gave him a warm reception and made bim feel at bom, don't yoa ?" Mike Mullens, who shot the bear com plimented me highly on my courage, and said I was a heroine, and w ould of kill ed the bear had I only bad the weapons and known how to nse them," whit h was doubtless true.

An J, after all the dis turbance, there's only a little temporary good. From beginning to end, Dr. Pierees Pellets are better. They're the smallest and easiest to take tiny, sugar-coated granules that any child is ready for. Then they do their work so easily and so naturally that it lasts. They absolutely and permanently cure constipation, indi gestion, bilious attacks, sick and bilious headaches, and all derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels.

THE HOME MARKET CLUB GIVE THE CHAMPION CF PROTEC TION A WARM WEL COME. The banquet of the Home Market Cluh in Mechanics Hall, Boston, Friday night of last week, was one of ihe finest atlairs of the kind ever witnessed in Massachusetts, and was a fitting climax to the recent Republican victory in that State. GOVERNOR MCK1NLEYS WARM l.RKgTISO. The scene wtiea Governor McKinley arose to sjieak was indiscribabls. The people arose in a body, waving handker chiefs and cheering for several minutes. It was fully five minutes af:er he arose before the Governor's voice could be heard. His clear-cut, incisive, logical statements went home to every man in the big audieno?. Here is what Govern or McKinley said : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Home Market Club : I did not accept the invitation to your annual banquet to participate in the speechmakiug. but rather to meet the men of New England, whom I have so often met in social and political assemblage befoie, joining them cot in exultation over the recent victor ies, but rtpicing with them in the gener al itjoI feeling over tl9 exalta'iou of a great American principle. I come also to felicitate with them over the patriotic victory so triumphantly woo in ttie old Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was a glorious triumph for the true Amer ican sentiment, for the labors and indus tries of the .State, for tne patriotism of the country, and will rank with the best of the mighty election achievements of this great mother state. It was not a mere party victory. More and greater thin this, it was a victory of the people, by the people, for the protect ive cause, which is the people's cause. This year, in Massachusetts as in Uio, politics was business, and bueineiss was politics, and united they triumphed, it was discovered that business rests upou continence aud certainty. IudusUy is only the agf nt-y to meet the wants of mankind. While the wants of mankind are the ureat factor in our industrial pros perity, tue abiiity to gratify these wants is es-entia.'. iie manufacturer makes clot), because the merchant wants it and can jtive ample security for payment, and the merchant wants it because his cus tomers a ant it and are able to pay him for his investaient with a prolit. If the great consuming classes are cut olf in their income aud wagvs, the merchant's sal-s decline, and when they decline the demand for labor declines and the stork man's waes decline. If capita! cannot cannot get a prolit out of its investment, it will not woik. and if capital does not work labor is idle. When labor is idle, wages reach the lowest point, even to the few who are employed. Capital Uiutt have faith in the future. It tuuat be able to calculate on the future. It must know that what it makes to-day it can dispose of at a profit to-morrow or next week or next mouth. I: must be certain that no ligi?!ation U to intervene hich will in juriously ahect the value of the g'Kkls it makes or the market ia which tiiey are sold. Manufacturing industries have no as surance to-day, either as to price or the niaiket, beyond the immediate present if they turn a wheel beyond present or ders, they are confronted with nnctr tainty and probable loss, and capital, al ways sensitive, shrinks from these, and while it sits in fear, labor sits in idleness. The loo common expression that "tarilfs could not etlect my business" is little heard now. The very threat of tariff changes have been sensibly and injuri ously felt in every industry and cuter prise, and those who were wont to regard protection as a mere bounty to manu facturers an 1 to the lah-r in protected industries have come to r?garl itas-pite as essential to one occupation as another, and itiite as necessary to the prosperity of one branch of business as to another. LBS WuKK MEANS LriWER W U.KS. I cannot be mistaken that the most vi- tal part of the economic contest now go ing on is the question of labor and wag es. The more there is to do, the better wases will be pai J ; the less there is to do, the less waes will be paid for what is done. It is the more lo do, not the less that is the patriotic striving of the people, end should be fie ai n ol all po litical parties. There will be lees to do at home, the more we have done abroad. The more free trade we have, the more foreign goods we will have, and the more of such goods we have in com petition with our own products the less we will make at home, and the less w make at home t! e 123 labor will lx employed at home, the less wages will be paid at home, and the less wages paid at home the less wais will be spent at home. Free trade or a revenue tarilT is the remedy oildted by tho) who ditfer from us ou this economic question. More foreign goods and more easily to be ob tained, is the prescription offered by our political opponents as sure to reopen our idle mills. Will it help? Will it do it ? Free trade cannot rekindle the fires in our factories. Free trade cannot increase our production at home. Nobjdy ad- vocatej it with any sucn views, its whole aim is to increase foreign importa tion, which increasa must, of necessity, diminish likednmestic production. There can b but one of two results to fillow the Introduction offree tra le or a revenue .tariff. Either domestic production will be diminished or the wages of labor will be diminished, or b itb, and either or both are result whica should meet with prompt condemnation from the great body of the American people. Is there anybody any 1 )nger in doubt about the real trub!e in theountry to-day ? The President of Ihi I'uite l .S:ats ia his An, -cist message announced a great fa. t. He said : "It may be trje that the emharrasv ment from which the business of the country is suffering arises as much from evils appreheiJei as fji those acu illy exuding." This is true. Remove the apprehen sion of threatene I tari if legislation, re move Ihescareof the promised Iree-trade bill, remove the fear which has settled upon every business interest, and con fidence will return. It was this fear which found expression in the recent elections of the people, and these, how ever they may be regarded "in certain quarter, were an impressive protest against tbe party which created the fear. We have everything this year we had las, but good times. Ws have the same men and the same money, the ame ma chinery, the same markets this year that we had last : but we have a new man agement We have the same people with the same pluck and the same per severance and ths same manufacturing plants, but the people hut year voted for a change of policy, policy which pre vailed before the war, a policy which had not been in operation since the war, which was not in eperaiion during the war, which old policy is unfitted to our present condition. If a full snd expression could be bad there is scarcely a State of the Union which would record its majority vote in favor of free tra is or purely revenue tariff. THB COCSTBT WASTS PBOTetTIOS. I am firm in ths conviction that the prepon Jeratinc sentiment of ths country . . -or : . -n. I ts for a protective tariff was in '9- and is now. The verdict of last year was not against the protective system, and if ths party in power ao interprets it it will do it at iu own peril as a party, and at ths peril of the vast invested interests of ths country. Ths re is not a Stats, if its resi sentiment coald be had to-day, but would advise Coogres to keep its hands off the present tariff and leave any revision which experience ruay prove to te nrctssry to tht friends rf the pro tective sjstera ; not a leruoc ratic ie,res etitive lroia auy iii'iustrial Mate ln, if l e would voice the true scutiment of bis conetilunts to-day, tut would rots acaiust the projs.-sest raid open cur in dustries. I is uot fair to assume, f r it is net true, that every Democrat who coctriLuted to give the cntro! cf the Government to the t arty coir in power was or is in favor of frte trade. Many such gave their votes this year to ths party which upholds protection ami will riHilmue to do so. so long as the system is thrratriied. There were t'tos- la.-t year a ho th"Ut.! they were in favor ( fief trade, have iM lid of the tVlusioO, add ulil.1 1-e giaJ, if tlii y hal the power, to recall the:r votes, while there aie many tbouisan la wore gave their votes lo the party iu power open other and dif ferent ipieotioos, quite independent of the tai iif. W hat would be more welcome to the business intereid of tne ccuatry, to the wage-woikers of tiie country and every American interest, than the as surance that this Congress would ad journ without meddling with our industrial legislation? What a sigh of relief would ftit in every part of the country: What confidence oold becrated, what 1 it I no force would te lnfmed into exery dopartuieul cf human activity, what cheer would euter the home vf labor I uch an assurance would bring glad tidiugs of gteat joy to the millions of American homes n hose occupants see the winter coming, the savings of years going or gone, snd no wot k or waes iu sight. A tree-trade Congress is a. fearful menace to the industrial interests cf the con try. Business is now waiting on the uncer tainty of the Congress soon to convene, or, to be more exact upon the certainty of unfriendly legislation when it does convene, and wtule buaines is waiting thj laborer is wai.ing outside with noth ing to do. AN ISLKHINii BUiW AT LABOR. I sound the note of warning here to night. I wish it might teach every cor ner of the country, that every reduction, of the tariff will bv followed by a reduc tion of wages, that every cut in the tariff rates will be followed by a cut iu the. wage rates. The effect of the propowd tariff legislation, whether intended or no', is au unerring bio at labor, which will be instantly felt in the home of ev ery operative in the I'mted States. Ths threat of it has already been felt The friends of Protection should not now fal ter. The fight is only begun. If tempo rarily lost, it is not to be given up. Cour age was never more needed and never more expected by the people from their representatives thau now. It ia the de mand of the hour aud the requirement of the situation. The tinkerers of the tariff should be thwarted, they should be opposed at every step in their pro gramme of destruction. Republicans and Iemotrals wbo believe in ths pro tective system, iu C jngress and out of Congress, shoul.l stand together in resist ing every effort to weaken aud destroy it. If it is at last to be accomplished, let none of the responsibility rest upon us. In a time like the present, with idle meu and idle mills, platforms to the rear and theories to the winds. The voice cf part isanship shoul 1 have no place in our councils; the voice of patriotism alone should be heard. Let there bs no yield ing of principles; uo compioiai.se whi tii shall tU.spjil our workshops and degrade our labor, l.-t us be Americans, aud may the Congress soon to assemble show itself as genuinely American as the great body of tue peopl which it represents : Two Valuable Friends. 1.
