THE EXILE IN CANADA;
Or, Thm JBeodlei'a IdtmeaU
I wandered to the river's bank
And looked across to where,
Upon the other side, I saw
The light! refleoted there:
And, as I gazed, a longing came
To reach that place once more,
And walk upon the good old soil
rd often trod before.
Last Bight I draam'd that one again
I saw the old, old home
Where ott, when I waa but a lad,
My wandering steps did roam
Td crossed unto the other aide
Ot this wlda, running stream;
Alas I I woke in full delight,
To find it but a dream.
On, could I but retrace tha ysarsl
And backward go once more,
I would not then be cursing fate
Upon this barren shore. i
What racks It that I have the gold
Wherewith to pass all t met
Since I must while away the years
Is this most wretched clime I
Te stars that ah'ne so bright to-night
la yonder vault above.
Bow marr.ly ya're looking down
On frteods that I do love.
Would I ware there ; but y awns a gulf,
Wide as eternity!
The sheriff a arm. the broken trust
Doom me to misery!
Bo, here an eille I must stay,
On this eold. barren lanl; . '- "'
Ko eight of him, oraiadrad aw,
No grasp of friendly hand;
With gnawing thoughts of keen remorse,
Like specters, ever near;
Worone k'nd smile, nor welcome glance,
My lonely Ufa to eheer.

FRIDAY. FEBRtTAttvT
A COW ."AMONG DEARS.
Bossy Beards the Formidable Bruin la
His Don.
Just outsido tho city of Berne, in
Switzerland, there is a bear pit, the in
habitants of which are as savage as
bears can be, and they are known to
have made away rapidly with any living
being that ever happened to drop into
their midst. Tho other day a butcher
drove a cow to the city. The cow took
f right, rac off and jumped over the
fence down into the bear pit. The
bears were anxious to become more in
timately acquainted with the cow and
began moving slowly toward her. She
dM not seem equally desirous to await
their amenities, and, being none the
worse for her mighty spring just made,
she lowered her horns and rushed for
ward to assault the bear that was near
est to her. The , shngrjy fellow lost
heart, turned tail and retired into his
cave. Then the cow turned her horns
toward another bear, who also consid
ered discretion tho better part of valor
and withdrew to his cave. In less time
than it takes to recite the story all the
bears had sought refuge in their lairs
and the cow stood in solitary triumph
in the center of the pit. Then she was
taken out by tho keeper. A rich resi
dent of the suburbs of Berne, having
seen the gallant self-defense of the cow,
took a fancy to her, bought her of the
butcher and has her now. at bis country
seat and is proud of her.

A MEAN CAT.
Invitee friendly Overtures and Reapomts
with a Illta.
"You had better look out for your
hand, air. Tom is a pugilist." This ad-,
vice was spoken by a gateman at the
union depot, Cleveland, and was nd
dressed to a benevolent-looking old
gentleman who had stooped down to pet
a large Maltese cat.
"Oh, he seems to like me," answered
tho gentleman. "I make it a rulo to be
friendly with all dumb animals, and
firmly believe that they approclato kind
treat-" But at this instant tho cat
suddenly rose up on his hindlegs and
struck out simultaneously with his
barbed fore paws, grasping one of tho old
irwntlcman'a ungloved fingers between
bis teeth and giving it a sharp bito
Satisfied with tho result of his attack,
wily Tom scampered away nri-oss the
tracks and from the other sldo of the
depot watched the old gentleman
bandage his bleeding hand with a hand
kerchief. "That U an old trick of his," said the
gatemnn to a Leader reporter who wa
ttanding near by. "He will meandei
up to his victim In a most innocent man
ner and piny about his fwt. Nine out
of every ten persons will take thla biiit
and be bitfc'n by Tom. I do not believe
that be umi his claws anil teeth out of
uglinej. but for sport. Notwithstand

REST IN MOTION.
A Brain Worker Discourses on Cio Tople
of Clierrfulnesa.
"If I am harried or wearied by care
or work," said a inan who works with
his brains, "I can always find rest in
motion. I just stop work and get out
and walk. As I walk the weight is
lifted, and finally it la pono altogether,
and in place of that tired feeling comes
tranquillity succeeded by elation. It
was a pleasing discovery to make, that
I could walk out of depression into
buoyancy. At first, when the, exercise
was new to me, I needed to go but a
little distance to accomplish this happy
result, and so clearly defined was the
change that I could locate almost ex
actly the spot where my burdens dis
appeared and I found myself in the
pleasant company of my hopeful, kind
ly friend, Cheerfulness. I still seek
Cheerfulness by that road and I find
him unfailino-lv. but I havA ir, err.
further and further to meet him, for,
like any other stimulant, the walk
must be taken ira constantly increasing
doses in order to produce the same re
sults. At first a brisk walk of a quar
ter of a mile brought me to the bound
ary line; now I find it about a mile
and a quarter away. It may be that I
will have to seek Cheerfulness nearer
home as a pem anent atmosphere, for
it is obvious that if I must go greater
and greater distances to tneet the per
sonified Cheerfulness he might one day
be practically beyond reach."
Mot a Lost Ars.
Archaeologists and antiquarians In
their writings frequently refer to tha
manufacture of flint arrow-heads, etc.,
as "a lost art;" that is a great mistake.
The art is probably lost to the Indiana
becauiie they have no use for it The
stone implements have given place to
thoso of iron and steel, and tho rifio
and revolver have supplanted the flint
ax and urrow-hend. The art of mak
ing them hi not last, however. There
arc many collectors of relics of the ab
origines who have studied the art of
working la flint and have become
adepts. In Chattanooga a gentleman
has liecomo so proficient in tho art that
ho has not only manufactured magnifi
cent specimens of arrow-heads from
Hint, but also from the far more brit
tle obsidian, and even from ordinary
frluss.
