NOW I LAY ME.
Golden head, so lowly bending,
Little feet so white and bare,
Dewy eyes, half shut, half opened,
Lisping out her evening prayer.
Well she knows when she is saying,
"Now I lay me down to sleep,"
'Tis to God that she is praying,
Praying him her soul to keep.
Half asleep, .and murmuring faintly.
"If I should die before I wake"
Tiny fiugers clasped so saintly
"I pray the Lord my soul to take."
0, the rapture, sweet, unbroken,
Of the soul who wrote that prayer !
Children's myriad voices floating
Up to heaven, record it there.
If, of all that has been written,
I could choose what might be mine,
It should be that child's petition,
Rising to the throne divine.

shiver, and I saw her glance quick

esort of way.
Piling several logs of wood oii

sleeping tent. -The English nurse

"I have often read that any loud
si noise will serve to frighten away
Ywild beasts," she whispered to me,
r. pnid I thought these might be
Lhandy to have with us."
After securely fastening tHie can.
Svas flaps at the entrance of the
tent, we lay down on our bedsno
hemlock boughs, but we didntt seem
to be very sleepy, in fact we were
too nervous to sleep at once. I
was just dropping into a doze when
I heard a sound in the distance-a
kind of prolonged howl.
I raised my head to listen-so
did aunt.
"What was that?" she whispered.
"O, nothing but another loon," I
answered, as calmly as I could, but
I knew very well it was not a
loon.
Eor a few moments all was still.
Again the same unearthly sound
broke the stillness of the night.
This time it seemed nearer-a long
dismal howl.
The children's aunt rose to a sit
ting posture. The English nurse
asked in a frightened whisper, "In
dians, eh?" "Panther, eh?"
"Nonsense," returned L 'iThere
are no panthers here, and as for In
dians, there isn't a red man within
a thousand miles." Here I stop
ped. My hair was braided down
niy back in a Chinese pig-tail, and
it seemed to rise straight in the
air as a gust of wind brought to
our ears a third howl, followed by a
chorus of unearthly yelps.
We sprang to our feet. I felt
some one pulling at my dress and
heard Rob's voice-the oldest boy
was fast asleep: "What is it,
auntie? is it a wolf?" Then I
knew that his eyes were as big as
butter-plates.
"Whatever it is it shall not hurt

crackling and rustling of twigs, the
noize of long leaps through the
underbrush,. and then, oh, horror !
the sound of animals rushing madly
around the tents. The children's
aunt had been peeping through a
small hole in one side of the
tent.
"Look ! for mercy's sake, look !"
she gasped.
I put my eyes close to the tent
and there, rushing wildly about,
were four great, lean, shaggy
brutes ! By the light of the camp
fire I could see their glittering
eyes, red tongues and sharp white
teeth.
I drew back in horror. "Try
the tin pan," said I.
Rob beat a lively tattoo with the
pudding stick. For a moment the
patter of paws ceased, only to be
gin again more madly- than be
fore.
"0, dear !" moaned aunt in de
spair, "Any decent would wolf
have been afraid of a camp fire,
to say nothing of suc'h a racket as
this."
She seized the oar and put her
self in a war-like attitude.
Just then one of the creatures
outside brushed against the tent
while another ran sniffing about and
even ventured. his nose under the
canvas flaps.
"Something must be done," ex
claimed aunt with the air of one re
solved "to do or die," "I have of
ten read that a wild beast w.ll
human eye. "Then she drew her
self up looking the picture of a
veritable Lady Macbeth. "The
trouble is, I can't look in four pairs
of eyes at once."
"And while you were staring at
one wolf the others would eat yon
up," I answered.
"Young woman, this is no time
for jesting," said aunt, solemnly.
"Heaven knows what will become
of us."
At this instant it flashed before
my mind that there was something
familiar in the sound of the howl
ing outside. I took another look
through the little loophole, then
whistled softly. Dropping the hunt
ing knife I had been brandishing
and running to the entrance I be
gan untying the canvas flaps.
"Aunt," said I, "listen ! Do you
hear? Those are not wolves, they
are dogs; I am sure of it."
In another moment four great,
tawny hounds were leaping about
me, putting their paws on my
shoulders, nearly knocking me
down in their attempt to express
their joy.
I led the way to the tent where
our supplies were stored, and
throwing them some food knew
from the greedy way in which they
seized it that they had been off on
a long trail. If often happens that
hunting dogs get lost while on
an animal. In such cases they al
ways make their way to the nearest
camp. After the hounds had satis
fied their hunger they followed me
to the sleeping tent.
I found the children's aunt and
the English nurse pale but calm,
with the happy Rob between them.
We l4ft the tent flaps open and the
cherry firelight shone inside the
camp; the largest dog stretched him
self before the entrance as if to say:
-'I'm going to keep watch here to
night," while the others took their
places by the children's beds.
Then we fell asleep, safe, indeed,
under the watchful care of our new
found friends.

o nto' Birthday, like all
~gas, broke up business gen
efIyin the way we all know by
experience we have to expect, and
yet for which no one to my know
ledge ever gave any attempt at a
rational explanatioIn. There were
the usual patriotic celebrations, and
a good deal of wine and hard cider
under various disguises were offered
as a sacrifice to the names of the
Father of his Country, and posthu
mously of all the immigrants who
pour in at the rate of a million or
so a year. Some of them had a
celebration yesterday. It was the
funeral of sixteen little Bohemian
and Polish children who were
crushed in a panic when fire broke
out in a school conducted by some
Sisters of Charity. And the under
takers have their eyes on some
more victims who still endure agon
izing remnants of life. Of course
the Building Department is now as
noisy, active .and inconsequent as
so much pop corn, and old - Pop
Esterbrook laments the loss of that
wonderful bill of his which, undeI
the deft ministration of the Real
Estate Chronice, the Legislature
squelched last year. He also com
plains of a paucity. of inspectors.
If they devoted more time to their
ostensible duties and less to spy
ing on honiest msen and mousing
after "perquisites," I fancy the
number would be sufficient. Of the
kind we have, thiere are too many.
The Coronrs jury.. who sat on the
remains were- nearly killed by the
odors in an alleged playroom, which
rather reflects on the Board ol
iealth, another much-talk-and-lit
tle-do uanna
There has been .a rumor that Mr.
Vanderbilt, the son of his father,
has become hopeless invalid in
mind and body. If true, it is quite
sad. Of course the story -has been
contradicted, but the man of billions
remains in deep seclusion.
The old struggle between Dem
ocrats and Republicans is becom
ing rivalled in importance by the
fight between free traders, tariff for
revenue and high tariff men, and
the way the special organ of the
latter, the Protectionist, or "Pirate
Technist" as it is called by a pun
ning opponent,. has been working
up public sentiment, Is annoying.
It is presumed the paper has'some
pretty heavy backing, in view of
the fact that it has been getting up
expensive public meetings, and
circulating several issues of late of
150,000 copies. Our prime pro
ducers seem to be tending to free
trade as against our Eastern man
ufacturing interests. It does seem
hard that a farmer should pay $20
fora suit of clothes that an En
glishman or Canadian pay $10 for,
but if the duties were taken off the
people whose wages run up the
prices of domestic goods would be
starved out, and if they all went to
digging potatoes or raising corn
produce wouldA t. bring as much as
it does now, and the farmer would
find it just as Lard to pay $10 for
his clothes as he does to pay $20
now. Benevolence is all very fine,
but charity begins at home, and for
my part I want cVy folks to be
comfortable, ad ,perhaps they
wouldn't be if we got cheap Cooly
labor, whether here or in India or.
China, to make all our goodsfor
us.
Gorringe, the Naval officer and
engineer who brqught over the
obelisk and set it on end, and who,
on the Pinta in the winter of 1878,
brought over news that the Span.
iards had knuckled down about the
survivors of the Virginius massacre
in . Cuba, a very solid man, with a
smooth, benign face, has resigned
his position, not unnmingled with
disagreement with Secretary Chan
dler, and is going into iron ship
building. He wants his materials
free and then says he doesn't care
that wages here are high-he'll
try and make them higher-for with
American grit, genius, improved
labor-saving machines and hand
and brain-work applied just where
they will do the most good, he
can compete with the shipbuilders
of the Clyde or anywhere else, and
get tihe best of them too. Gorringe
is a good. fellow. Long may he
wave ! It is understood a number
of capitalists with very big bank
accounts are backing him.
As you are probably aware this
is a season to be observed with
great quiet by numerous religious
people. But everybody doesn't keep
Lent, and the maddest, wildest ball
of all, that of the Arion Society,
came off the other evening. There
were 20,000 present and the ex
penses, direct and incidental, were
estimated at $250,000. Many of
our "highest -society" were there,
it is said, under close disguises, and
decorous matrons and discreet dam
sels managed, just out of pure
curiosty of course, to see a great
many curious things, and If they
staye4 late no doubt got quite too
awfully shocked. Fashionable break
fasts the next day were late, and
refreshing little pick-me-ups were
found quite necessary by way of
restoratives.
Now we have so many rich among
us, people who think nothing of
paying $100,000 for a house, as
much more for the furniture, and
as much each year for feast, frolic,
fine feathers, fruit and flowers,
where "Germans" and dinner par
ties, supper parties, riding parties.
breakfast and lunch parties, theatre
parties, afternoon teas, lawn ten
nis, scrambles and what not abound,
the chief end of all of which seems
to be flirtation, platonic or other
wise, in the most elaborately ex
pensive way. Weddings, which used
to be the chief of all grand parades
for brides, are tending toward a
modesty of celebration that is re.
markable by the contrast.- The
latest neat thing is toslip out with
bosom friend or two and get
quietly spliced in some- out-of-the.
way church withoat anybody being
any the wiser till, after a week or
Itwo's sojotarn in some luxurious
hotel, the status of the happycou
ple is made known in the news
papers. There have been several
examples of this thing of late.
The great Irish Chief, "Number
One," seems to be very numerous.
We hear of him in all sortsof places,
and the consumption of whiskey in
the search for the hero by his ad
mirers is immense. It is calen
lated, by wellinformed statisticians,
that every time a landlord is killed
in Ireland it increaVs the revenue
of our landlords of gin-mills at
least one hundred per cent. It
might be argued that to encourage
our infant industries in this direc
tion patriots should be subsidized
to go across the Therring pond when
ever business slackens of and get
up, a little fresh excitement.. If
Gladstone were "removed," no
doubt Fifth avenue would change
hands and be painted green in its
entire length, from basement
dome, so much money would pour
in on certain purveyors of bile and
bibularity. RADIX.
A LEG ON A TEAIL
How a Main Ea's ArtMi iob Aiad
Ua=Mly ad Q.a ed I# Tehsek
Major Todd of Bangor, Maine,
lost his right leg at the battle of
Fredericksburg, and some time ago
he purchased an artificial leg from a
man in Washington. It contained
a system of springs which enabled
the Major touseitinsuchanatu
ral manner that when he was wal
ing along the street nobody would
for a moment suppose that he had
not both of his own legs.
On Sunday, while the Major was
on his way to church, he slipped
up on the ice and gave the store
leg a severe wrench. He must
have dislocated some of the springs,
for after reaching the church and
taking. his seat, and while the
clergyman was reading the Scrip,
tures, the leg suddenly flew up and
rested on the back of the seatin
front .of him. The congregation
looked at him with amazement, and
he grew very red in the face. As
goon as he took it down it jumped
up again and wrigged about on
the back of the pew, finally kicking
Mrs. Thompson's bonnet to rags.
The Major suppressed it again and
held it down, but it instantly began
a convulsive movement in his own
pew, during which it upset the
stools, plunged around the. hymn
books and hats, and hammered the
board beneath the seat until it
made such a racket that thie minis
ter had to stop. The eexton came
rushing In to find out what was the
matter, and the Major, after ox
plaining the difficulty in a whisper,
asked the sexton to let him lean on
him while 'he charged on the front
door. As soon as the Major got
into the aisle that dislocated leg
kicked the sexton siteen or seven
teen times in a most insolent man
ner, varying the exercises by mak
ing eccentric swoops off toone side,
during which it kicked eight of the
high hats at the pew doors into
black silk chaos.
By the time the Major reached the
vestibule the leg had become per
fectly reckless. It Sew up before
and it flew up behind. It butted
against the good leg, and darted
out sidewise, and described circles,
and tried to insert its toes inuthe
Major's coat tail pockets, and to
whack him on the nose. When the
sexton came with the hack and put
the Maor in it the leg banged
through the window glass, and when
the driver got down to see about
it the leg brandished itself in his
face and concluded the exercise b~y
planting a terrible blow in his
stomach. Then the Major told the
driver that he would give him $10
to take the leg of,; and the driver
accepted the offer. For several min
utes it eluded all his eforxts toeatch
it as it danced about, but finally he
got hold of it and hung 'on while
the Majoi~ tried to unbuckle the
straps. Then it came off and rolled
the driver to the mud. He got up
tomwatch it. It~writhed and kcked
and jumped and throbbed and hop
pod .an& whenever It would make a
dash to one side orthe ote ti
