Burdict, who is known uuowrh all that section of the country •• "L JL.," the iwst of the name being ooosidered rapexfluous or too formal to •coord ^ith the character, of the indi- victas! whom it adorns. L L. is trnly a duuracter, kind-hearted and hospi­ table, but rough and uncouth, and given to blowing his own trumpet. But with all his notoriety he is not nearly p' much of a character as bis old set**" Frank. & Frank was a large, powerfifa3p'^,u.^ dog, with no extra lumber bone and muscle3 enoiu*1 *° defend himself against all ansW^M9 ^rom canine acquaintance^ with a suffi­ cient quantity of twt useful article com­ monly called to carry his ideas of right and i*<nice to a successful issue. The "first d&eh of five miles would not be characterized by the high-headed race Aorse speed of a Roderigo, Bob Gates, or Gath's Mark, but for a month's hunt in the heavy covering of the terri­ tory prairies he would hold his own against the best in the land. He did not hunt on the quarterly plan, but after surveying the country would select the most likely bird cover, and without any extra ceremonies or graceful wavingsof the flag would "go for them" in a 00m- mon-sense, business-like manner. When hunting for quail, chickens, turkeys, or deer he would let all other game alone for the kind wanted, and he was equally good on all. On one occasion, after slow-trailing a buck with Frank for several hours, I. L. came upon the deer, which was re­ markable for its size, in a deep ravine, where it was browsing. Taking delib­ erate aim, I. L. fired, and the stately old fellow dropped, apparently dead, shot through the neck. Sliding down the steep side of the ravine, I. L. pro­ ceeded to cut the throat of his prize, when at the first slash of the knife the buck sprang to his feet, throwing the hunter to one side--luckily near to where the discharged gun was lying-- and as soon as it partially recovered from its dazed condition caused by the the bullet which had ' creased" its neck, showed fight. L L. had just time to work the lever of his Winchester, when the maddened beast was upon him. He fired, but at such close quarters that the bullet only succeeded in shearing a bunch of hair from the back of the ani­ mal, but the next moment he expected to feel the horns and hoofs piercing and trampling him to death. But assistance was at hand, and before you could say "Jack Robinson" Frank had the buck by the ham. I. L. retreated up the side Of the bank and attempted to throw in another cartridge, only to find the shell fast. Frank and the deer in the mean­ time were having a regular rough-and- tumble fight. He had to let go of his hold on the deer's ham to catch him by the throat, to which proceeding the buck entered his protest by a vigorous use of both hoofs and horns, for in a short time he was covered with dust and blood from his own and the deer's wounds. I. L. upon seeing the danger of his boon companion, became frantic in his efforts to eject the old shell, and, of course, made less headway than if he had kept his head. At last Frank se­ cured a hold upon the throat of his an­ tagonist, and, although severely fanned about, he held his hold until the refrac­ tory shell was thrown out and replaced by another, when the combat was brought to a termination by. a shot through the heart of the noble beast who had contended so bravely for exist­ ence and revenge upon his assailants, When the deer dropped the old dog at once came to his master for the praise he had so nobly earned, and for the dressing of "his wounds, some of which were very deep and no doubt painful.-- American Field. Sliding in Earnest. Down ordinary descents, and quite steep ones, too, it is the custom to allow the reindeer to trot and increase the rapidity of their motion as the sled pushes upon their heels, until at last they gallop at the top of their speed. Near Bulun, which is two days' journey from the mouth of the Lena river, there are several very steep grades, and the reindeer scampering down like the wind, the drivers shouting at the top of their voices, and the sleds bounding over the rough places make up a scene well worth witnessing. The Esquimaux of North America, on land journeys, often encounter hills where it would be very dangerous to at­ tempt a descent with a heavily loaded sled drawn by dogs. When such a place is reached, they unhitch the dogs and let the sled descend bv its own weight. All the men act as brakes to prevent, if possible, a descent so rapid as to land the equipage a complete wreck at the bottom. The two strongest of the drivers take their places on the sides at the front of the sled, and the others hold on where they can; all pull back as strongly as possible when the speed in­ creases. Some plant their feet straight in front of them and send the snow fly­ ing as if from a snow-plow. Others .find themselves taking leaps that would astonish a kangaroo, are dragged furi­ ously along, or, maybe, come rolling to the bottom after the sled. The dogs regard the whole affair as a joke, and with their traces tied together oome dashing along in the wild chase, some barking joyously, others yelping dis- tressedly as. caught in the traces, they are dragged to the foot of the hill by their reckless companions. It often seemed a wonder when, even with all our exertions, we could land sled and party at the bottom in safety.---IE M. Gilder, in St. Nicholas. \ Managing a Bnsband. Men are naturally less amiable and more intractable than women. The first point, therefore, to secure a mar­ ried woman's happiness after the holi­ days of the honeymoon are over, is that she should study carefully the peculiari­ ties of her husband's temper. It is in the power of a wise and good woman to make a lamb of the greatest bear that ever wore whiskers; while by a foolish treatment the process may be reversed and a generous bearded creature, with all the capabilities of a lion, may end in being a bear or wolf. A wife mast tread on her husband's temper first as cau­ tiously as a prudent boy does upon re* cently formed ice. Only when she has learned where the slippery humor of her husband will bear, and where it will break, can she perform with safety those graceful evolu­ tions by which a devoted wife achieves greater triumphs than ever. Bonaparte did this by his artillery.

This departure from the calf- concealers was at the direct request of a charming hostess and was not, our es­ teemed contemporary, the New York Sun, to the contrary notwithstanding, a preconcerted move on the part of a "club of seven" to put the "trousers" in the consomme. At a dance given by the sisters of one of the young men a few evenings previous to the event in­ accurately described by the Sun, the seven appeared in knee-breeches. The dance was attended by personal friends of the family and no publicity was given it. Then followed the second enter­ tainment to which the seven were bid­ den and most earnestly requested to wear the picturesque small-clothes which had given so much satisfaction at the sister's house. The most glaring error made in chronicling the affair was the statement that the "Seven" wore tailless dress coats "made of black velvet and cut somewhat after the fashion of shooting- jackets." Instead of this, the coat was the regulation swallow-tailc made of the regulation cloth. Again, the vests were not "black-watered silk," but white pique, or, as it is most generelly called, Marseilles, Moreover, the breeches were made of oloth matching the coat, that is, most of them were, and not black satin, as reported. Nor were they fastened with silver buokles. The Sun iB again in error in the statement that the dancing pumps were orna­ mented with silver buckles. On the contrary, they were perfectly plain. It is true that black silk stockings encased the seven pairs of calves. The writer asked one of the seven if it was the in­ tention of himself and six companions to wear knee-breeches at all the full- dress entertainments they attended this season, and he answered: "I doubt very much whether we shall ever so appear again; certainly not'at a public entertainment." "Do you approve of knee-breeches?" "I neither approve nor disapprove of them." "But if they became the fashion, would you reject it?" "No, I would wear them on very formal occasion, but not with buckles, nor would I favor those made in colors, except for fancy dress at small private parties." "Do you think that knee-breeches are likely soon to became popular among fashionable young men?" "I do not. If the Prince of Wales or some other member of the royal family started the stylo for all full-dress oc­ casions the thing must be a go. But my dear fellow," and he broke off ab­ ruptly, "don't you know there is no tell­ ing what might become the fashion here if the Prince started it.

There is no valid reason why the post­ mark on a letter should not be as legi­ ble as the business card that is often printed on the corner of the envelope. It is frequently important to know when and where an envelope containing a let­ ter or a manuscript was mailed, and the postmark must be depended on to give the information. In most cases the de­ pendence is vain. The carelessness of hurried postal clerks put only a blur where the post­ mark ought to be, and the public suf­ fers, sometimes seriously, in conse­ quence. Yankee ingenuity can cer­ tainly devise a canceling machine which will cancel stamps and postmark letters rapidly and well. Probably there is such a machine already invented. The public should protect itself by insisting that the postoffice regulations, requir­ ing legible postmarks, showing when letters were mailed and when they were received, shall be complied with, and by making persistent complaints when­ ever carelessnes is evident. If every one who receives an envelop without a legible postmark will enclose it in a letter of complaint to the Post­ master General, putting the blame as far as possible where it belongs, it is safe to assume that some improvement will be made, provided, of course, the Postmaster Genetal is not forever bur­ ied from sight by the avalanche of his first morning's mail.--The Writer. Germany's Treasure in East Africa. In a few years it will not be necessary for Stanleys to hunt for lost Dr. Emins, or for adventurous persons to proceed on a hunt for Stanley. Railways with luxurious sleeping cars will supersede the caravan. Conductors will call out such n$w station names as "Sagara!" "Ugogo!" Unyamivesi!" "Utakama!" "Ututwa!" "Tanganyika!" and freight trains will rattle and thunder down from the Aruwimi loaded with some of that ivory which Stanley saw lying1 about on the ground by the ton.

If ever one is to pray, if ever one is to feel grave and anxious, if ever one is to shrink from vain show and vain babble, surely it is just on the occasion of two human beings binding themselves to one another, for better and for worse, till death part them. The two people most concerned, especially the bridegroom, are on such a day willing enough tc shrink from vain show and vain babble, but their friends and relatives insist on trotting them out and making them show their paces. Indeed, for a man of shy or nervous temperament to be married without chloroform is a painful operation. He may be a strong man, but he feels like Samson when, for the sake of a woman whom he loved, he al­ lowed his eyes to be put out, and heard the Philiatinfta miHimr «imn him to make sport for them.~^tt^ia. r (t Lyman are not tually THE BIBLE. th« DHftf.

The amanuensis is not iaspired by the author whose word he takes down at dictation. I have in my editorial offioe a short-hand writer to whom I am. accustomed to dictate letters, and sometimes articles for the Christian Union. As I dictate she writes what I am saying. It is not at all necessary to the accuracy^ of her report that she should agrefe with the senti­ ments or opinions I fcm tittering, or even understand the course of our argu­ ment. Indeed, I suppose it often hap­ pens that her mind is so occupied with taking down that which I dictate, word for word, that the general course of thought almost entirely eludes her ob­ servation. Such an emanuensis re­ ceives little or no inspiration from the process of merely transcribing that which is dictated. But I have a child at home who desires to write a letter to her mother. She asks my help, and sits at the table with her pencil or pen in hand. " What can I say to mamma ?" "Tell her where you went yesterday," I reply. "Oh, yes," she says, and then she writes, "I went to a picnic in the woods yesterday with Susie and Mary and Johnny and Tom." And she works out a little account of the picnic, and then she comes to me again and I make another suggestion. I tell her now and then how to spell a word; I even occa­ sionally correct her forms of expression and suggest a better method. When, finally, the letter is done, it is her let­ ter, but she has written it under my inspiration. The thoughts are partly mine, but she has made them her own The process is impossible without mu­ tual sympathy between us. / She had received and taken into her mind and heart that which she has S'ven out dgain in her own language. 1 the case of the dictation there was no true inspiration; .in the case of the inspiration there was no dictation. Now, according to what is called "new theol­ ogy," the Bible is not a dictated but an inspired book. The truths and spiritual experiences are wrought into the hearts and minds of the writers by the inspira­ tion of God, And then were recorded for the inspiration of their fellow-men. The experience of devout truthfulness which finds expression in the twenty- third Psalm was breathed into the heart of the shepherd boy long before he sung on his harp, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." The joy of a victorious love was wrought in the heart of the Apostle Paul long before he wrote: "We are more than conquer- ers through Him that loved us." The writers of the Bible were not amanu­ enses who wrote without sympathy, without belief, perhaps even without understanding, certain words which God dictated to them. They were prophets and saints, in whose hearts and minds God inspired blessed expe­ riences of hope, faith, and love, and to whose spiritual vision he unfolded the greRt truth of His own redeeming love.. To His experience and this transcendent truth they gave expression, each in his, own way; Moses, with the comprehen­ sive intelligence of a great statesman; David, with the spiritual perception of a great poet; Isaiah, with the forecast­ ing of a great prophet, and Paul, with the profound insight of one who is at once a seer and a philosopher A Pair of Dont's.- The little book called " Don't" suggests many excellent Don'ts, but the Don't about the use of the table napkin don't seem quite reasonable. Says the author: "Don't tuck your napkin under your chin or Bpread it upon your breast. Bibbs and tuckers are for the nursery. " Now, for gentlemen whose upper lips are shaven this is very well; but how about those who wear mustaches? It is simply impossible to prevent soup or other fluids from adhering to the beard and dropping thence down to the shirt front, waistcoat, and coat lapels. By spreading the napkin on the breast the apparel is shielded. Is it really true that etiquette denies this decent and reasonable privilege? But read the foregoing don't in connection with the don't which stands at the top of page 20: "Don't be so careless as to soil your shirt front with egg or coffee drippings, or your coat lapels with grease spots. A little caution will prevent these acci­ dents. Few things are more distasteful than to see a gentleman bearing upon his apparel ocular evidenoe of having breakfasted or dined." These rules place the mustached man "betwixt the devil and the deep sea." He can only protect his clothing by the use of the napkin, but he is warned that it is impolite to do so. In observ­ ing the first requirement he unavoid­ ably violates the second. The former is at war with fairness and common sense; the latter comes well-nigh add­ ing insult to injury. If the author in­ sists upon these rules his book stands in need of the following: "Don't wear mustaches. They are offensive to polite society." If the don'ts we have criticised are ap­ proved and permanent, it would seem that gentlemen who wear mustaches must shave their lips or stand con­ demned as bad mannered.--Texas Sift­ ing 8. • ' ' "Were I to Die To-Sight." AU poets or verse-makers--for there is a vast difference between the two-- should in future date their poems and sign their names to them in full if they want to preserve the offspring of their fancy. It would seem that no, sooner does a poem get popular and travel the rounds of the newspapers than half a dozen authors spring up to claim it if it be anonymous. H. Rider Haggard publishes in "Jess," attributing it to his si&ter, the beautiful poem, "Were I to Die To-Night," which lias been familiar to many in the United States when Haggard was a British Government clerk in the Transvaal and had written nothing save red-tape documents, and it is fair to presume that his sister was in trouserettes. Its authorship is claimed by Robert C. Meyer of Phila­ delphia now, and other poets to hear from. It is over ten years ago since the writer heard Dan O'Connell, a well-known journalist and litterateur of San Francisco, quote at a banquet the lines: "If I should die to-night, • i. ' Then would'M thou call to mind, with loving thought. Some kimliy deed the icy hands had wrought,, Some tender words the frozen lips had said. Errands on which the willing feet had sped; Ttafli memory of my passion and my pride : And every fault would sure bo set aside, So should I be forgiven of all to-night." Rider Haggard was then utterly un­ known to fame. Who gave his sister's poem then to the American press?-- New York Graphic.
