beginning to be cool, and the night
nru already foggy had not Euphetuia
been so iutenl upon going on a deer
liu tit. Her desire fir the chase became
o great thut at la.d she even overlook
: ""3 uniiuci i lie
ed the dancer ot the bears. "A bul-
let will kill a bear, I suppose," said
she. And on being told that such a
thing was ccrtuiuly possible, she deter
mined to go.
We went.
One path lay up the side of the
mnuntati over an old, and almost dis
use I road, aud, after the first mile or
so, Euphemia found it a hard path.
She would not let toe carry her rifle
a short breech-loader for she asserted
that she knew it was the proper thing
for hunters to bear their own weapons,
and, in course of time, she found it
very heavy. From one shoulder to
another she shifted it, and remarked
to mo that she hoped she would find
some of Mm. Homer's slave iu the box
when she got back, for her skin was
rubbed otf in some iilaceB,slie knew.
"You hud better let me carryy our
rifle," mid I, "and not think S'i much
about appearances. For my p"rt, I
consider a wotnun with a rifle ou her
ehouldcrs to be about as stra;e n sight
as auv i.ue would want to see. In the
olden time when women did hunt thev
had bows and arrows, and it was rath
er pleasing thau otherwise to carry
them."
"Bother," said she, "bows and ar.
rows, indeed! I suppose the nest
thing will be that you'll want me to
go hunting in a chariot with a sickle
stuck into the swingle tree like the
lloinnns."
"At the end of the axel tree,
dear, they put the scvihes in the
my
n
cieiit chariots," said I.
"Well, it makes no difference. Those
old fashioned things are all absurd. I
wish I could see a herd of deer on top
of those ruck," said she, pointing her
rifle at a little eminence, as if she was
practicing taking sight. (I knew very
well that she only did it to relieve her
shoulders.) "I think I could hit a few
of them."
"A few!" I exclaimed. "I don't
believe von could hit one at least,
not the first time you tried."
"That would not discourage me,"
she cried, with the spirit of a true
hunter suarking in her eyes. "Jf I
missed, do you know what I would
doT"
"WhatT" said I.
.'Tick the flint, aod try again."
What nonsense you are talking,
Euphetuia! Your gun has no flint,
and, so, of course, you could uot pick
it."
"Do you mean to tell me," said she,
slopping short in the road, "that you
let me come away out here with a gun
that has no flint?"
"Of course I did. No guns have
flints now-a-diiys. They have pereus
iot. caps instead."
"Yes. I knew thev had cans." she
! said more mi.dly, "but I thought they
bad Units too somewhere itiside ot
them"
it was about half an hour after this
conversation, aud Eunhemia was car
rying her rifle under her mm in u way
that made me tremblo for my life.
When we came to a spot where the mail
branched. As I did not know which
was the main track, I told Euphemia
to wait a few minutes while I went for
ward to investigate.
When I returned I could not see
Euphe nia, but directly 1 descried her
on the top of a low bank, a short dis
tance up the other road. As I walk
ed towards her I saw that she was lev
eling her gun at something, 'vhich was
over the bauk and invisible to me.
Accordingly I approached her with
noiseless steps. Wheu I reached the
bank she was still taking aim, and I
whispered to her:
"Euphy, what is itT A deer?"
She turned to me, and in a low, hol
low voice said :
"No. It is a bear!"
I put my hands on the bauk to
scramble up, but she waved me back.
"Not one inch forward," she said,
"or your rashness will destroy us both.
Keep your charge in reserve, lie
ready with your rifle if I miss him. It
you come up here 1 shall scream, and
we are losL '
"Hear me, Euphy," I whispered,
trembling with excitement, "Come
down and let me up there. Mine is
the pobt of danger."
"No, it isu't," said she, in that
solemn undertone. "It u.-ed to be, hut

Bang! and Euphemia sat clown with
great suddenness.
I sprang upon the bank, and. Peeing
she was safe, rushed into the bushes.

Burleigh tells this florj in the Bos
ton Journal:
Coming up in the cars quite an
amusing iueidcni occurred. The palace
curs uecd custom. The common cars
are few aud crowded, and those who
would be coin loll able are compelled
to pay extra and have a seat iu the
puluce sul u. Several gentlemen
stood. A lady look a whole seat to
herself, uud piled up her baggage ou
the spot where weary gentlemen would
be glad to repose. The lady left her
seat fir a moment and went to the rear.
A gentleman at once went for it piled
the bags on the teat the ludy occupied
aud sat down. All watched the opera
lion. Soon the lady came on with a
quick step. She came to a halt and
said, "Sir, you have my scut.'' "1
think not ; your luggage is on your
seat." "1 have hud the seat all the
way from Albany." "Yes ma'am, and
I have stood all the way from Albany,
and intend to ride tin rest of the way
to Kutlaud." Not an inch did the
woman budge ; she held her ground
full ten minutes. The intruder was
quietly reading the only one in the
car that was not absorbed in thesuiiir,
The silence was painful. At hut the

A Story of General Thomas.
Among the stories told of the late
General Thomas, is one of an incident
which occurred when he and his chief
of staff", General OarfieM, were inspect
ing the fortifications of Chattanooga
in 1804. Ther heard a shout, "Hello,
Mister 1 I want to speak to you ;" and
General Thomas found that he was the
person addressed, by an uncouth, back
woods. East Ten ne.-seean. He stopped,
and the dialogue which ensued was as
follows :
"Mister, I want to get a furlough."
"Ou what grounds do you want a
furlough, my man?"
"I want to go home and see my
wife." . 7
"How long since yon saw your wife?"
"Ever since I enlisted, nigh on to
three months."
"Three months!" good naturedlv

morning after the chamber was fin

A Precocious Swindler.
The Boston Journal ays : The of
ficers of one of ur south end stations
are much exercised as to what they
shall do with a young girl id' about
six years of age, who, by her smart
ness, bids fair to achieve somewhat id'
a local reputation even before she
reaches her teens. She is almost daily

i in taking the fares, hods her without
scrip .r tickets, aud she is either put
otf or else a policeman takes her to the
station houi-e, aud she is sent home,
only to be found on her travels the
next day. A few days ago the "little
fraud" was iu clover. When the Odd
Felh.w lodges who dined in Boylstoii
hall marched into the building she ac
companied them, aud one of the breth
ren, thinking ber lost, out of sympathy
secured her a seat at the table, and af
ter she had eaten ull she wished, he,
at her request, stepped aside to pro.

carried her to a neighboring police
station, and was then made aware that
he had been duped by a mere child.
The parents of the child take little in

Do Not Give Up.
A gentleman traveling in the north
ern part of Ireland heard the voices
of children, and paused lo listen. Find
ing the sounds proceeding from a
mull building used as a si:hool-hoU9C,
he drew near ; and, as the door was
open, he entered, and listened to the
words the boys were spelling. One
little fellow stood apart end aud dis
pirited. "Why does that boy stand there?"
asked the gentleman.
"Oh, he's good for nothing," replied
the teacher. "There's nothing iu him.
I can make nothing of him. - He is the
most stupid boy in the school.''
The gentleman was surprised nt
this answer. He saw thut the teacher
was so stem and rough that the young
er and more timid boys were nearly
crushed. He said a tew kind words to
lit in, and then plnciug his hand on the
nobL hr. w of the little fellow who
stood apart, he said: "One of these
days you nitty be a fine scholar. Do
uot give up; but try, my buy, try!"
The soul of the boy roused. II is
dormant intellect awoke.4 A new
purpose was formed. From that mo
ment he been tncstudiniis ami ambitious
to excel. Aud he did become a fine
scholar and the author of a well known
commentary on the bible a great
and g'od man, beloved and honored.
It was Dr. A. lam Clark.
The secret of his success is worth
knowing: "D.in't give up ; but try, my
boy, try !"
The Philosopher's Stone.
The recent riu but brilliant John
Randolph once rose suddenly up in his
se;i'. in the tlouso ot U"presentatives.
and screamed out, at the top of his
shrill voice: "Mr. Speaker! Mr.
Speaker! I have discovered the philos
opher's stone. It is Pay as you go I"
John Randolph dropped many rich
gems from his mouth, but never a rich
er one than that. "Tav as you go,"
and you need not dodge s'leriH and
constables. "Pay as ynu go," uud you
can walk the streets with tin erect buck
and manly front, and have no fear of
those you meet. You won't have to
cross the street to avoid a dun, or look
intently in a shop window, in order
uot to see a creditor. "Pay as you go,"
and vou run snap your fingers nt the
world, and when you laugh, it will be
a hearty, honest one, and not like the
laugh ot the poor iicbtir, Mho looks
around as though he was in doubt
wh ther the laugh was not the property
of his creditors, und not included in
articles "exempted from attach incut."
"Puv un vou go," and vou will meet
smiling faces at home -happy, cherry
cheeked, smiling children a content
ed wife a cheerful hearth stone. John
Randolph was right. It is the philoso
pher's stone.
A Good Woman.
A good woman never grows old.
Years may go over her bead, but if
benevolence und virtue dwell in her
heart, she is as cheerful us when the
spring of li'e first . peued to her view
w hen we look upon a good woman,
we never tlii ik of her age she looks
ss charming as when the rose of youth
first bloomed upon her cheek. That
rose has not faded yet ; it will never
fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benefactor iu the church,
the devout worshipper and exemplary
Christian. Who does not love and re
spect the woman who has fased her
days in actsof kiuduoas nd mercy," ho
has been the friend of man and God
whose whole 1 i to bus been a scene of

The idea of convoying messages un
der the sea, pays Mr. J. Holmes, in n
recent article on telegraphy, was filet
conceived by Sir C. Wheatstonc, iu
the yeur 1840. For his experiment he
chose Swansea Bay, iu South Wales,
and there, stationed iu au open boat,
and with the help of a light-house
keeper, be practically set in operation
the first submarine telegra; !i cable in
the world, consisting merely of a con
ducting wire insulated with hemp nnd
a resinous compound. From the results
of that trial has proceoded the great
submarino telegraph eystctn now e.
tending over so large a pertion of the
globe.
A machine has now been perfected
which may be upplied to cooling the
air of theatres, halls, and all public oi
private dwellings. One of these ma
chines will cither produce two hundred
pounds of ice per hour, or will furnish
in the s ime space of time thirty thoub
and cubic feet of air cooled to a tern-
Iieralure of thirty degrees Fahrenheit,
l is probuble that in a few years we
will turn ou from the tame registers
the cool air in summer and hot air in
winter. TUo application of sih h an
apparatus to t lie pipes of a heater
w ujd be extremely simple, and furnish
