Unto the margin of the flowing river The Eastern shepherd leads his timid sheep: lie calls them on, but they stand still and shiver; To them the stream seems wide and swift and deep. He calls them on, but they in fear are stand. Ing; He calls them, but on they dare not go; Theyheednot now the volceof bis command- They only heed the river's fearful flow. Then from the side ofonp protecting mother A Iamb the shepherd takes unto his breast: And then ho gently bendfiand takes another, And in bis arras the two lambs Ho at rest. They lie at rest, and. as he close enfolds them He hears them safely o'er the river wide; The little lambs know well the arm that holds them. They nestle warmly nnd are satisfied. Then the fond mothers, with maternal long ing. Look on beyond that river's fearful flow : They can but follow, and, behind them thronging. Their fleecy comrades are In baste logo. Drawn by a love stronger than any shrink ing. Their iambs they follow o'er the flowing tide; They heed not now the swimming or the singing. Thoy bravo thestream and reach the furth er side. And while thplr tender shepherd kindly feeds them. They think no longer upon what hath Iwen; He gives them back their Iambs, and then he leadK them By the still waters, through the pastures green. So shall It be with yon O weeping mother. Whose Iamb the Lord has taken from your Icht: TIs He hath done it. He and notnnother ; Your lamb lies In His arms clasped close and tight. Across the stream your little oneis taken That you may fear no more the quick, dark flow; But that, with steadfast heart and faith un shaken. You muy bo ready after it to go. This is the tender Shepherd's loving pleas ure. To bless at once the little lamb and you ; He knows that whenwith Him Is your best treasure. There fixed forever will your heart be. too; J. A.

A Month's Hani Training; Places the Sarnie in a Condition to Out strip His Wonld-bo Hatchers At the time of whloh I write Fort Benton was an Indlun trading post, much resorted to by the Black feet, be tween whom and the more northern tribes of Crees there wan a constant war. The Crees, roaming the north western territory, seldom orer ven tured Houth of the line since estab lished as the boundary. Old Bow fort, on the Saskatchewan, being usually their extreme southern limit. One dny, toward tlie latter part of winter, an adventurous brave pre sented himself on font at the gate of the Benton stockade, and asked to come in. TheBentry admitted him, and ills gun acuriouR old Hint-lock, such ns were sold to Indians by the Hudson Bay Company half a century ago being taken from him, ha wan told by Mr. Wolfe, the trader then in charge of the post, to state his busi ness. It was found that he did not know a word of Sioux, nnd was, in fact what Mr. Wolfe hud suspected, from his dreas aud head gear a Cree ! When questioned, both then and afterward by aid of signs and bucIi words of the Cree dialect as were known nt the fort as to his name and motive in thus leaving his people nnd exposing himself to almost cer tain deatluiie said that his name was Stemnw, that he iiad tired of his tribe, and wanted to go to the far south, where the traders told him there was no biiow nnd no winter. In stature lie was tall, slenderly made, and wa.s judged to be not over twenty years of age. His eyes were of light er color than of most Indians; oth erwise, he seemed not to differ from the ordinary redskin. sti;maw had not been at the post many hours when a party of Black feel were seen riding to the Fort. Scarcely a day passed at this season without some of the tribe coming to trade. Mr. Wolfe hastily opened the door of a back room to ills house, and bade the Cree go in there, advising him with most forcible gesture, and the few words he understood, to keep quiet, as he veined his life, and not let bo much as his top-knot be seen by the Black feet. While the trailing was coiug on, numbers or young warriors, ecarcely more than boys, were racing about inside the incIo.Mire. and peep ing Into store-houses. Suddenly the traders were startled by tbe report of a gun. followed by wild whoops and a horrible uproar. On running out, half a dozen Black- feet were seen beseiging one of the J back windows of one of Mr. Wolfe's houses. The fool in h Stemaw had so far allowed his curiosity to get the better of his prudence as to peep out at the witidow for a look at bis ene mies. One of them had seen him, and instantly' recognizing a Cree by his head-dress, fired at him through the wiudow with a gun which, con trary to the rules, he had brought into the Fort. This nmaU, high window was broken, aud the Blaok feet, yelling like blood-hounds, were" trying to get in, while the Cree, with an axe he had picked up In the room, was making good his position with vigorous oiuwh mrougn tne aper-j ture. The few armed men at the post were Instantly mustered at the drum beat, and pressed back the young Blackfeet, and the Blackfoot chief, Mackamoze, shouting like an old Stentor, called off his braves. Hav ing learned tbe cause of tbe outbreak, the chief turned indignantly to Mr. Wolfe. The stern face and lofty bearing of the old warrior were very striking. "Wbyhasmy brother Mahuyan a Nord-Cree hidden in bis lodge?" was his question. (Mahuyan was the In dian word which signified tbe same as Mr. Wolfe's name.) A CHANCE FOB HIS LIFE. The trader hastily explained that the man was a refugee, had come to tne fort of his own accord, and that he was merely a harmless wan derer. 'Marautegis weeash!" (a curHed spy) exclaimed Maoknmoze. Mr. Wolfe told the chief that he did not believe the Cree was a spy.but that he appeared to be only a foolish boy on a' roving tour. "My brother Mahuyan doeB not know the Crees," Bald the old Black- foot, with a smile; then, suddenly shaking bis tomahawk above his head, he exclaimed, "There is bad blood between "tue Blackfeet and the Nord-Crees. Mahuyan must give him up. "But the poor boy has done no harm," urged Wolfe. "He has come into tlie country of the Blackfeet," said the chief, stern ly. "He must die." Mr. Wolfe was at his wits' end. He did not want to give up Stemaw to be tortured and burned. But the good will of the Blackfeet, if forfeited, would not only ruin the trade of the post, but put all the HveB in jeopardy. Tbe Indians were numerous and well armed, and the force at the Fort was but a handful. In this dilemma, Mr. Wolfe had recourse to deception. "My brother speaks well," said he to Maoknmoze. "But with the white man's Manitou this is the moon of peace, when no blood must be she. When next the moon is at Its full come to me and I will give up to you the Cree but on one condition." "And what is that?" demanded the Blackfoot, who had been Bteadily gazing at the trader in a way that boded no good should bis request be denied. "I will give up to you the Cree," eaid Mr. Wolfe, "but among tbe white men it is held cowardly for many braves to fall upon one who 1b alone aud unarmed. The Cree must have one chance for his life. Your warriors are fleet of foot, Mackamoze. I will set the Cree 100 paces in front of them, and then let him run for his life." To this the chief assented far more readily than the trader had expeoted he would, for the Blaekfeet are fa mous runners, surpassing all other tribes of the Northwest. Mr. Wolfe had hit pxactly the right chord. The Indians left the post, intimating that they should be promptly on hand at the appointed time. After such a compromise and pledge Mr. Wolfe did not dare even to connive at the Cree's escape. But he PUT HIM AT ONCK IN HARD TRAINING. He turned him out at 5 o'clock every morning, and after a bath in cold water bad him run three times imind the Inside of the Blockade, a distance of50 rods. He was then fed on fresh buffalo meat, a full breakfast, nnd given three hours leisure to digest it. Then for an hour he was made to run at full speed around the stockade. After a rest of two hours he was giv en another full meal of meat, and late in the afternoon was put at running again for a second heat of an hour. A light supper was given him upon whioh he went to his bunk and slept like a top. This system of training was kept up for a month, except Sun days, when tlie boy's allowance of meat was reduced about one-third, and he was given a day of rest. The result was very marked. The Indian came to be iu splendid condi tion. Tbe muscles on his legs stood out hard. nnd firm, though at the out set his legs had been slim. He soon ran easy as a dog. Nor was he much winded nt the end of his hour heats. At the first, however, he would lie down completely spent and out of breath. While running he was, as a rule, ALWAYS KEPT AT FULL SPEED, and doing iiis best. The second day of tils training he ran around the stockade 54 times in one hour. On tbe 24th day he made 89 rounds In an hour, and one or two of the last days over 00 rounds. Thin great increase of speed wan the result of hard train ing aud nourishing food. It whs a pleasure now to see him run. He would bound away like a deer. Punctuall' on the morningafter the full moon in April, Mackamoze and his party came riding to the fort; and not only they, but more than 3,000 warriors of the tribe. "Mohlarnutach buineCree!" (Fetch out tbe Cree!) was the cry. But Mr. Wolfe was determined to secure air pla y for his protege. The drums beat for a parley. The trader then addressed Macka moze and told him he was ready to produce the Cree according to prom ise, but the Indians' horses and guns must first be brought inside tbe stock ade and left there, and that as tbe Cree was to run wholly unarmed, the Blaokfeet must only carry their knives. After discussion this was agreed to, and the party dismounted Inside the gate and stacked their guns, A long rope was tbeu etretoh- ed, breast high, out on the plain in front of the fort, and behind this the orowd of Blackfeet took their places. The trader then stepped off a hundred paces, when two of the soldiers brought out of the Cree by way of a little postern gate on tbe other side, and placed him by Mr. Wolfe. At sight of him the Blaokfeet raised a shout, but Mackamoze compelled them to wait tbe signal. "Now, Stemaw," said Wolfe, "you muet run for your life. Don't be scared (for the poor fellow was trem bling in his raocasins.) You can out run them. Get to your tribe, and never be seen in these parts again." With this parting injunction the tra der raised bis hand, whioh was THE SIGNAL AUREEO ON. The rope dropped. With a yell, enough to appall tbe stoutest heart, the Blackfeet eprang toward Stemaw. Instead of bounding away, hb the men expected he would, the boy seemed paralyzed with fright. He faced arouud for an instant, and then ran zigzag, and made no progress. In less than half a minute tbe Blackfeet were upon him almost grasping him. "He is lost," we thought, and gave him up for caught. But when their hands were alraoston him, the Cree suddenly rallied IiIb Btrength, and shook himself together for steady work. He dodged his pur suers and leaped away. At first, from where the soldiers stood watch ing on the stookade, beseemed mixed with the Blaokfeet; but he soon got clear, and opened a broad space be tween himself and them. The traders now took breath, nnd their heartB rose a little, though three or four of the leading Blackfeet were trailing him vigorously. But by the time they bad run a mile and a half Ste maw wbb at least a hundred rods in advance of them all. He was now seen to turn and shake his fist at his pursuers, then, wheeling away again. he went skimming to tbe prairie like a coyote. In fifteen minutes be was out of sight, and that was the last the whites ever saw of him. By 10 o'clook more than half the Blackfeet had returned to the post. Some wanted their horses, but Wolfe would let no horses pass tbe gate un til evening. Before night they had all come in, but were not much die posed to talk of tbe Crees, nor did the traders care to taunt them. After wards, some of the Blackfeet said at the fort that "Mahuvan make strong medicine for Cree," and so he had the best and strongest medicine for health and vigor good, hard, Bbarp traiuing. Helena (-IT. T.) JTcrald. A woman in a Kansas Pacific rail road car sat facing a man who, with one eye at least, seemed to be staring fixedly at her. She became Indig nant, and said. "Why doyou look at me so, sir?" He said that he was not aware of having done so, but she In sisted. "I beg your pardon. Madam, but it's this eye, is it not?" lifting his Auger to his left optic. "Yes, sir, It's that eye." "Well, Madam, that eye won't do you any harm. It's a glass ej'e, Madam, only a glass eye. I hope you will excuse it. But, upon my soul, I'm not surprised that even a glass eye should feel interested in so pretty a woman." The explanation and the compliment combined put the woman into a good humor. A Virginia letter to the National Jiepublioan states that tlie Republi cans all over the State are organizing, and nre sanguine of electing four rep resentatives, instead of one. The Sher man men have dropped the open fight, aud are on the "still hunt," but have been foiled at every point. A prominent Democrat says, "that the people had declared that Grant should-be the next president; that the gods had decreed it; that the fate approved it, and that the pow er of mortal was unable to prevent it." "Thank God for a free Gospel," said an old church member, suddenly carried away by the eloquence of tbe preacher. Five-and-twenty years have I been a oburch, and it has not cost me that many coppers." "May the Lord forgive your stingy soul !" said the preacher. A Tallahassee minister who had held numerous night meetings in or der to arouse religious enthusiasm, and, the work progressing slowly, be wailed the return of his labors in only converting half a dozen souls, thus: "I tell you, my hearers, it don't pay for the gas." It is stranee and sad to think that those twelve Indians don't come for ward to be banned, What are they thinking about? Where is the boast ed kind-henrtedness of the red man ? New York Grajihic. Mrs. Partington, in illustration of the proverb, "a soft answer tnrneth away wrath," says that ".It Is better to speak paragorically of a person than to be all the time flinging epi taphs at him." If all were as willing to be pleasant and as anxious to please in their own houses as they nra in the company of their neighbors they would have the happiest homes in the world. In the WelBb language, it Is said, there la not an infidel book published. How the Phonograph HeTealcd tke Sweet Experiences of .4r. Smiffkiag and. Miss Scroggias. San Francisco Newa-Lctter. Young Smiffkins was somewhat surprised, but highly elated, when he received a polite Invitation from old Scroggins to.come up and take a crust which meant dinner and that, too, when he had spent the very evening before in -the. sweet society of Miss Matilda Jane Scroggins. It is needless to say he was promptly on hand. "Matilda Jaue," said the old gentleman, when dinner was over, "did you ever hear the phonograph In active operation ?" "No, pa, but I should like to," answered the maid en, who wished to humor her pa rent's scientific weakness. "Well, my dear, you shall. I bought one the day before yesterday. You will find It under the sofa in tbe front parlor. I forgot to take it up Btairs last night, when Heft you and SmifT kins conversing on oburch festivals." Matilda brought the machine, and tbe old man wound it up, remarking that he had set before going to bed. The family circle and one or two of Scroggin's cronies, who happened to be present, listened with a great deal of Interest as it slowly revolved. "Thank God! the old devil's gone at last!" exclaimed the phonograph, in tones that sounded amazingly like those of SmifTkius. "I thought the hateful old thing would sit up all night," continued tbe wonderful in vention, in tones that were certainly Matilda's. "Well my own darling, we'll make up for lost time. Yum yum!" ejaculated the revolving cyl iudar, with a pronounced Smiffkins accent. "O, don't, darling! you muBn't! Yum yum!" it proceeded In tones of Matilda Jane. After that tbe instrument grew incoherent and mixed up, as it were. A subdued os cillatory sound mingled with deep drawn sighs and occasional whis pered protests in Matilda Jane's voice were all that could be distinguished, till It suddenly blurted out: "Well, I suppose old Scrog will come down stairs with a club unless you dear out." Another silence broken by yum yum8, and then in a softer voice the inexorable cylinder conclu ded : "There you must go now. Good yum night yum yum. I'll make the old beast ask you to dinner to-morrow yum yum !" By this time Matilda Jane had fainted, and Smiffkins' face looked like green cheese, but old Scroggins gazed upon them grimly, after the fashion of a graven image, and tbe rest of tbe company seemed to be rather amused than otherwise. Hmlffkln bought a mountain howitzer next day and went east to look for Edison. Senator Hill's Dilemma. Washington spscial, jiarch 13. The new disclosures in tbe case of Senator Hill are attracting much at tention, and causing unrestricted talk among his senatorial associates. In view of Hill's attempt to drag Sen ator Kellogg into his scandal,' the opinion Is quite freely expressed that the Senate will be forced to take some notice of the allegations brought against him, in order to protect Its good name. The letter addressed to Senator Hill by Mrs. Belva A. Lock wood, the female lawyer, inviting him to prosecute her, saying that if he will do so aud afford her an oppor tunity, she "will establish the fact thut he is not a Joseph in morality and that more than oue Washington family mourn and refuse to be com forted in consequence of his action in congressional circles, and public opin ion is becoming quite general that Hill is seriously involved in a scan dal which will ruin him both socially and politically. The Utterances of a Patrioti The mighty power of a republic of fifty millions of people with a conti nent for their possession can only be wielded permanently by being wield ed honestly. In a fair and generous struggle for partisan power let ns not forget those issues and those ends which are above party. Organized wrong will ultimately be met by or ganized resistance. The sensitive and the dangerous pointis the casting and counting of free ballots. Impar tial suffrage is our theory. It must heeome our practice. Any party of American citizens can bear to be de feated. No parly of American citi zens will bear to be defrauded. The men who are interested In dishonest count are millions. I wish to speak for the millions of all political parties, aud in their name tu declare that the republic must be strong enough, and shall be strong enough to protect the weakest of citizens in all their rights, J. Q. Blaine. A Rochester Pliyslciaii'tf Expe rience. R. Caulklns, M. D., of Rochester, N. Y., certifies Oct. Oth, 1879, that he has used the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure in his practice for diseases of the kidneys and liver, and the result has been satisfactory in the extreme. He says: "I would now presoribe the same remedy to all similarly-afflicted, and you are at liberty to bo state In your testimonials." 84mos3 Ex-Tjnlted States General Spinner resides permanently In Jacksonville, Fla. and has not been out of tbe State for fifteen months, A HUMAN ELECTKIC ATT ERT Strange Sterj fro a CaBadiaa YlU la?e-A Girl Charged With Electricity rFrom the Boadon Ont.) Advertiser.) We have been favored with the de tails of one of the strangest cases of which we ever heard, and one whioh is sure to excite a good dea! or inter est among medical men. The pari ticulars of tbe case are as uiven be low: It seems that about two years slnrt a daughter of Mr. Richard Clare.Cari oline by name, and then 17 years or age, living on lot No. 25, on the sec ond concession of Bodney, was taken ill. Her disease could not be corrects ly diagnosed, and bad mauy peculiar features. Her appetite fell off, and she lost flesh, till from a strapping" girl of 130 pounds weight, she barely weighed 87 pouuds. There did not Beem to beany organlo complaint, the bodily functions were not Impaired , and, although she ate lees than for merly, the falling off in this respeot was not such as in Itself would alarm her friends. After the lapse of a few" monthB, she took to her bed. Then it was that a change occurred In her mental condition. Formerly she wad noted rather for lack of conversation' al powers, but now fits or spasms' would come over her, on the passing away of which her eyes would be come set and glazed, her body almost rigid, aud while in that state she would discourse eloquently, and give" vivid descriptions of faroff scenes, far exceeding In their beauty any thing which she had ever seen of presumably ever read or. On thd passing away of this state, she ex bibltea a great degree of lassitude and Indisposition to move, and wbb tacl turn and surly in reply to any ques tions. This continued till about A month since, when an extraordinary change occurred. The girl, although still not gaining flesh, appeared td rally. She became llght-heafted and gay, and her friends anticipated art early release for her from the room Id. whloh she had been confined for sd long. Their expectations were ill vain, for she is now about the bouse; apparently as well bodily as ever.- But a most remarkable development has taken place. She is constantly giving off electrical discharges, and seems to be a perfect battery. A per son, unless possessed of the very strongest nerves, cannot shake bands with her, nor can any one place hl hands In a pail of water with hers. By joining bands she can send a sharp shock through fifteen or twenty peo ple iu a room, and she possesses all the attraction of a a magnet If she" attempts to pick up a knife, the blade will jump Into her hand, and a paper" of needles will hang suspended from one of her fingers. Bo strongly de veloped is this electrical power that she cannot release from her touch any article of steel which she may have taken up. The only method yet found is for a second party to take hold of the article and pull, while the girl strokes her own arm vigor ously from wrist upward. Oil her entering a room, a perceptible in iluenoe seizes hold of all others, and whilesome are affected to sleepiaess, others are ill and fidgety till they leave, and even for a considerable time afterward. A sleeping babe will wake up with a start at her approach, but with a stroke of her hand she can! at once coax It to slumber again. A fl' imals also are subject to her influence, and a pet dog of tbe household wilf lie for hours at her feet, as motion lese as death. A curious part df the phe nomena is the fact that the electricity" can be Imparted by her to any article with which she habitually comes ti contact. The other day a younger" sister, while doing the house-work, took up a pair of corsets belonging tor Caroline, and on her hand touching the steel, she was compelled to drop them with a loud cry, and an exclama' tlon to the effect that she had run tt needle Into her finger. Wooden spoons have had to be made for her, as she cannot touch metal Altogether the case Is a most remark able one, and attracts scores of visit ors to the house of Mr. Clare. Medical men ofe especially interest' ing themselves, and it has been stat ed that Dr. Tye, of Thamesville, wilr read a paper on the subject at the meet- ing of the Provincial Medics AssocI- ation, whioh Is to be held in London" iu the course of this summer. Mr. Clare Is the falfrer at a family of Beven children, none of whom, ex cept Caroline, show any abnormal qualities.
