80 Many Ponflietingiteeourtts have appear-
ed. about iisy casual enaounter with an;
rondaelt bear last summer that in justice to
the pnblio, to myeelf, and to the bear, ,4 is,
necessary to, make a plain statement of the
facts. Besides, it is so,seldoni I haw occa-
sion to kill a bear that the celebration of
the exploit may be excused.
The encounter was unpremeditated 011
both sides. I was La hunting for a bear,
and I have no teasels, to suppose that the
bear Was lottaintt for me, The feet is that
we were both out blackberrying, and met by
chaace—the usual way. There is among
the Adirondack vaiitors always a
great deel of convereatioa about bears,
—a general expression of the wish to
isee one in the woods, and much speculation
as to how a person would act if he or she
chanced to meet one. But bears are scarce
and timid and appear only to a favored few.
It was a warm day in August. just the
tort of day when an adventure of' any kind
seemed impossible. But it occurred to the
housekeepers at our cottage—there were
four of them—to send me to the clearing,
on the mountain back of the house, to pick
blackberries. It was rather a series of small
clearings, running up into the forest, much
overgrown with bushes and briers, and not
unromantic. Cows pastured there, pene-
trating through the leafy passages from one
opening to another, and browsing among
the bushes. I was kindly furnished with a
six -quart pail, and told not to be gone long.
Not from any predatory instinct, but to
save appearances, I took a gun. It adds to
the manly aspect of a person with a tin pail
if he also carries a gun. It was possible I
might start up a partridge; though how I
was to hit him if he started up instead of
standing still, puzzled me. Many people
use a shot -gun for partridges. I prefer the
ride: it makes a Olean job of death, and
does not prematurely stuff the bird with
globules of lead.
The rifle was a Sharp's carrying a
ball -cartridge (ten to the pound). An
excellent weapon belonging to a friend
of mine, who had intended, for a good many
years back, to kill a deer with it. He
could hit a tree with it—if the wind did not
blow, and the atmosphere was just right,
and the tree was not too far off, nearly
every time. Of course the tree must have
Borne size. Needless to say that I was at
that time no sportsman. Years ago I killed
a robin under the most humiliating circum-
stances. The bird was in a low cherry
tree. I loaded a big shot gun pretty full,
crept up under the tree, rested the gun on
the fence, with the muzzle more than ten
feet from the, bird, shut both eyes, and
pulled the trigger. When I got up to see
what had happened, the robin was scattered
about under the tree in more than a thou-
sand pieces, no one of which was big enough
to enable a naturalist to decide from it to
what species it belonged.
This disgusted me with the life of a
sportsman. I mention the incident to show
that, although I went blackberrying armed,
there was not much inequality between me
and the bear.
In this blackberry patch bears had been
seen. The summer before, our colored cook,
accompanied by a -little girl of the vicar-
age, was picking berries there one day,
when a bear came out of the woods, and
walked toward them. The girl took to her
heels and escaped. Aunt Chloe was para-
lyzed with terror. Instead of attempting
to run, she sat down on the ground where
she was standing, and began to weep and
scream, giving herself up for lost. The
bear was bewildered by this conduct. He
approached and looked at her, be walked
around and surveyed her. Probably he
had never seen a colored person before, and
did not know whether she would agree
with hirn ; at any rate, after watching
her a few moments, he turned about and
went into the forest. This is an authentic
instance of the delicate consideration of a
bear, and is much more remarkable than the
forbearance towards the African slave of the
well known lion, because the bear bad no
thorn in his foot.
When I lmd climbed the hill I set tip my
rifle against a tree, and began picking ber-
ries, lured on from bush to bush by the black
gleam of fruit (that always promises more in
the distance than it realizes when you reach
it), penetrating farther and farther, through
leaf -shaded cow -paths flecked with sun -light,
into clearing after clearing. I could hear on
all sides the tinkle of bells, the cracking of
sticks end the stamping of cattle that were
taking refuge in the thicket from the flies.
Occasionally, as I broke through a covert, I
e-ncountered a meek cow, who stared at me
stupidly for a second and then shambled off
into the bush. I became accustomed to this
dull society, and picked on in silence, attri-
buting all the wood -noises to the cattle,
thinking nothing of any real bear. In point
of fact, however, I was thinking all the time
of a nice romantic bear, and, as I picked,
was composing a story about a generous she -
bear who had lost her cub, and who seized
a small girl to this very wood, carried her
tenderly off to a cave, and brought her up
on bear's milk and honey. When the girl
got big enough to run away, moved by her
Inherited instincts, she eseaped and came
into tbe vatlley to her father's house
(this part or the story was to be worked
out so that the child would know her father
by some family resemblance, and have some
language in which to address him), and told

his gun, and, guided by the unfeeling daugh-

who never made any resistance, and only,

" One of my school -mates," said an old
man, "was a rich man's son. I was a poor
boy. He had more pocket -money in a week
tlsan I ever lmndled in my life. He is now
a conductor of a street car."
" And you ?"
"I'm the driver of the car."
Where the News Is.
Husband. "What are you reading, my
dear?"
Wife. "A long letter from mothera'
Husband, "Has she anything in parti-

Wife. "1 don't know. I haven't got to

Speedy Recovery.
Invalid Wife (to husband.) "The doc-
tor tells me that I ought to have a change of
cliMitte."
Husband (hopefully.) "Ali right, my
dear. I see by the ' probabilities' that we

Her Ohalleuge.
The maiden sat so near my arm,
Around her waist I threw it,
And then, not meaning any harm

Her face grew red, and then
She frowned and said, "I'd iike to see

Honest William.
Honest William was an easy and good-natured fellow,
Tho' he a little too often got a little mellow;
A bonnie coachman was he to an eminent brewer,
A better never sat on a box, to be sure.
For his conch was kept clean, and no mother or
nurses
Took more tare of their babes than he took of his
horses;
He had these, aye, and fifty good qualities more,
But the business of tipling could ne'er he got o'er.
So his master effectrially mended the matter,
By hiring a man who drank nothing hut water.
"Drink water said William, ‘• had all men done so,
You -would never have wanted a coachman, I know.

satisfaction, air !"
" Certainly, my frieud," responded the
; genial editor in his most soothing tones.
I "1 shall be most happy to accommodate
! you. Charlie," turning to the office boy,
"what has been done with that fellow who
' called day before yesterday to get satisfac-
tion ?"
"His widder took the remains home yes-
terday."„An(
the one that called yesterday ?”
"I swept all I could find out into the
hall, and they planted him to- day in the
new cemetery."
" And the one that called this after-
noon ?"
