You le can't see any connection between an old broken pitchfork. 30 or 40 years, a bear and ,Mr Tomlinson's foxhound.' Well, it is quite a story, but I'll tell it to you and then you will see there is, or has been a connection between all three. It was a night in the fall of 1855, or there about, James McDonald, of Porter's Hill, on the farm where he still lives, saw what he took to be an old sow and three little ones in the gully that runs through the meadow into the bush; his father knew different and told him to fire into them while he went to call acouple of neighbors, by the name of Chia- . holm, to come and help to catch Jim's 'pigs.' Tho bears, for such they were, on the discharge of the gun, had run into the bush, and here they were kept by the Mc- Donalds and Chrisholms until finally treed. The news had spread by this time and nearly the whole country side had gath- ered in the bush to help. A large t fire was ]it at the bottom of the tree and efforts were being made to get the bears down, when Chrishohn, who had climbed up an adjacent tree with his gun,let fly at the the old one, wounding her in the flunk, causing her to slide down the trunk of the tree into the fire out of which she jumped pretty quick and made off in a northeast direction follow- ed by Chisholm and his empty shot gun and William McDougall, now of Seaforth, with this old rusty pitchfork, then bright and sharp with a good stout ash handle in it. The bear being wounded Chisholm soon got along side of her, but with his gun empty, that was about all ho could do and at last Mr S Bruin took offended at his company and turned on him to pursuade him to retire, a blow however, on the head from the butt of the gun so enraged her that she ('ecided to remove her from her path, effec- tually she would, no doubt, have on accomplished her desire,had not been for the timely arrival of McDougall and the pitchfork, As she rose on her hindlegs to em- braceChishohn, William in true Highland style dro) e the long sharp glittering tines of the fork deep into her side behind the fore leg penetrating the heart, and with a groan she sank lifeless to the ground the fork 'still in her; such was the force with which McDougall had struck that the tines had. passed clean through two of the ribs and in their on- -deavor to extract it the handle got broken as you. SCO. There was. and is, no doubt,but that the fork bad saved Chisholm's life and proud of it was Jim whose prop- erty it was, he put it. carefully away in the log barn and showing in on great occasions to his friends. Out of sight, soon out bf memory, the rusty fork was forgotten at last, the barn crum- bled to decay and every trace of it bad gone; so much for the con- nection of the fork and bears. Nearly every inhabitant of this township is acquainted with or has heard of Mr Benjamin Tom: linson and those who are acquint- ed with him know of his love for a good dog, and the time he had bestowed on trying to perfect the breed of foxhounds in this coun- try. Morigrel bred, badly trained were the hounds he found here on his arrival from England, and be •determined by careful breeding v get for himself a dog of per- rebt scent combined with well de- veloped chest muscles, how he bas succeeded the sequel will show. Mr Alexander McDougall, of Porters Hill, brother in law of James McDonald, and a great hunter, heard there wore several foxes in the bush behind Jim's house; several •times he tried to get on their trail, with various dogs from Goderich and other parts, but to no purpose, at last he beard that Mr Tomlinson had a dog, that, for keoness of scent, staying power and speed, had not his equal in these parts, if in the Dominion of Canada. Deter - mind not to be beaten, Alec bor- rowed the dog and wont down to McDonald's, to tell him he was going to got the foxes this time; Jim asked him whose dog it was, and where it was. This last ques- tion was answered by the loud baying of the dog round where once had stood an old log barn, now nothing more than a manure heap, running to the apat, what was their surprise to see the dog Smelling and scratching at an old fork handle sticking out of the heap, thinking there might be ething in ttie heap, Allec took of it and pulled it out,to Jim's! surprise I li )(Ad long lost fork,blood begrimmed and rustynow fromlong exposure to the damp badly had the tiues, however, been smelty the dog, than he started off at a great speed for the bush, followed by Jim and Alec, who thought he must have seen a foxe. On, one he went, till the thick under- growth bid him from view, his lovd, angry bark being all there was now to guide them to his whereabouts; suddenly the bark, ing ceased, and long,diemal howl - were heard echoing throught tbs bush. 'He's treed a Coon, come on, come,on run man, run 1' yel- led the exeited Alec. 'Through the bush they tore, now up to the knees in mud, now falling over the trailing rovts of tho wild trine, till at length they came in sight of the dog. There he sat by the side ofan old charrd sturnp,howl- ing piteously, Alec looked s cared and turning to Jim asked what he thought had come to the doz. Call him off call off' says Jim' that is the stump of the tree the 4 bears were killed in over 30 years ago, he must have taken up the scent where it left oft; on the tines of the fork, and traced them back to the bush.' Well that connects the dog and the fork and as the fork was once intimately con- nected with the bears I guess all three are more or loss con- nected, and that too is how McDonald found his old fork again ; Oh, but it is all true, no person:mentioned in it:but what can swear to the part they took in it. Good day. SARI. A STRONG PLEA FOR THE OTHER SIDE. To the Editor of the Clinton New Ere Sle,-In last week's issue of the ERA, I read an article anent the "superiority of man," which must have caused many of the "incompetent ones" to smile, and pity a person who would express such antiquated ideas in this age of advance- ment. Surely the writer cannot be a man of this period. The number of type -writers and sten- ographers, and the average of salaries, I shall not discuss. Perhaps the writer, as he says, "knows whereof he speaks," but what will he say of this item, copied from the Montreal Witness, of Septem- ber 29th.: -"Montreal can now boast of a lady official stenographer, in the per- son of Miss Grace H. Eaton,who passed a most Guccessful examination this morning, before the Hon. 111r Laflamme, Mr Hutchinson, Q. C., and Mr C. J. Doherty, Q.C. Miss Eaton will be the first lady to adorn the Montreal civil courts in an official capacity. There yore two other cadidates, males, but they could not stand the test." The bold asserter thinks where "ori- ginality and business tactics" are re - quirt d, man is the only being that can fill the responsible position. Now, as regards originality, what can he say of the woman writers. Their literary distinction is not more excep- tional than that of man -less, perhaps, for he has more literary advantages. Then, what is he going to say about the patents taken out by women ? • 1 shall quote but one sentence describing a few of the many patente "Women have, since the beginning of this century, taken out 2,I)00 patents from the office at Washington, which embrace everything from a fiat iron to the most expensive machines." Then, to speak of the business tactics. Does the writer know anything of the hundreds of so-called "business men," whose wives do the business of the firm? I I. cite cases in which merchants would not think of buying anything without consulting their wives. The reason we do not hear more of "business women" is simply because they are often prevented from showing their business qualities. And are we to infer that women are incapable of obtaining a " thorough knowledge of English and foreign lan- guages?" He speaks of it as rather a hopeless case, yet, in our own county, a lady receives $1,000 per annum, as a teacher in languages. We are also accused of usurping the place of man. What, then, is that "lord of creation" doing when he be- comes a cook, a milliner, or a dress- maker ? It is useless in this age for the most educated man to attempt to define wo- man's sphere. Emily C. Hewitt says :-"Taking all facts into consideration, 1 find 'wo- man's sphere' to be the same as that of man, i. e., to do cheerfully angi well the work that comes to our hand, whether it be with a pen, a surgeon's knife, a dentist's drill, a pair of scissors, or a broom." M. D. Clinton, Oct. 1st. WOMEN EQUAL TO MEN. To the Editor of the Clinton NeinWra. Dasa Sra,-With regard to the question, "Are women smarter than men ?" I feel constrained to take up the cudgels in the defence of women. I will not assert that women are smarter than men as type writers, but I do most emphatically aver that men are not superior to women in this particular branch of work, and in his eagerness to show that they are, Mr Hartt has not adhered strictly to factP, in endeavoring to place what he terms the "true status of the case, before your readers' The mere fact of his saying so, does not prove that men are superior to women in this branch. If that were the case there would not be such a number ot wo- men employed as stenographers and ty pew ri ters. Teachers of shorthand.will tell you that fully two-thirds of their pupils are women,:andithat , women, as a rule, learn more rapidly than men. Mr Hartt coolly asserta that men's salaries range from $50 to $125 per month, while women receive from $40 to $60. Now 1 am personally acquaint. ed with numbers ofyoung womenwho receive from $80 to 8100 per month, while I know ( f men who would be very glad to get the same salaries As for "routine work," all offic work is lees or more a routine, an exceptional mental abilities. are no required to master its details. Any hriiht, intetligent woman, with a fair English education, who has acquired a knowledge of shorthand and type- writing, need not feel herself incom- petent to fill the position of atenog• rapper for a business house, and unless she goes into a foreign country will require no knowledge of a foreign language. Yes, a woman may make a living at washing or scrubbing, or, as a general servant, which is. I suppose, what Mr Hartt means by her "Di- vinely appointed sphere," and there will be no objection to her doing so, but let her dare take up -office work, or any of those occupations to which some men claim an exclusive right, and immediately a howl goes up from a certain cowardly class, to the eff.ct that women are innovations and usurpers. If female labor in this di- rection is on a "decided decline," there would be no occasion for such a letter as Mr Hartt's. He could look calmly on, and smile compla- cently as be watched the feeble strug- gles, and final defeat, of woman, in her attempt to usurp his noble sphere. But the mere fact that such letters are written, and such a cry and hub- bub raised, is ample proof that wo- men are slowly, but surely and steadi- ly gaining ground, and already the value of her services is being felt and appreciated, both in Canada and the United States. We are living in a progressive age, and the claygis gone by when the chief end of woman was to marry. It a woman, through choice of necessity, has her own living to make, she has a perfect right to choose any occupa- tion that may suit her tastes and abilities. For shorthand and type- writing she seems especially adapted, and rhe is able to fill the positions they afford, quite as well, and in some cases much bettar, than men. A fact which is universally admitted by men of experience, common sense and generous hearts, who do not cry out like the little boy in the berry patch, "This is my bush, you mustn't touch it." Here is an extract from an Eng- lish Journal, which speaks for itself: "The second annual type -writing contest of Remington operators was held at Exeter Hall, on the 20th and 21st of May. About 40 candidates entered the competition. The first day was devoted to competitions in general accuracy and neatness cf work, and the second day to speed competition. The speed competition consisted of writing from copy as well as dictation. In the first con- test, for copying from difficult manu- script, the first prize fell to Miss Bertha Still, the second to Miss Mo- lini, and the third to Miss Ethel Col- ander. Miss Bertha Still also won the extra prize offered for neatness and accuracy". It is also a well known fact that Miss Orr won the contest in Toronto, where there were assembled the most rapid male operators in the country. The above are facts not suppositions and need no further comment. STENO. same for my brothers,' and this 3 motive actuated her in all her in- tercourse with young men. She had no thought of self in the mat- ter, and when Mr Lyon said to her that he could be a better man with her as his wife than with any other woman in the world, the declaration came as a surprise to her. Friendship ripened into love, love that had 'its seat in reason and was judicious.' United in everyth:ng that, was sincerely Vooti, the home they founded was the home of peace, the cradle of all noble virtue, the reward of high endeavor and its most potent sttmulue-N.

'He has perished,' said the writer, speaking of the Pennsylvania Friend, 'in no tumult of arms, nor by the march of any pestilence. He was neither indolent nor lack- ing in shrewdness ; he did not starve to death, nor did 'the Ger- mans SO much as crowd him. Ho died simply because he was too good to live.' A. Philadelphia Friend resents this charge of be- ing too good,and proceeds to show that the members of the seven yearly meetings of the Hicksite Quakers number over 24,000 and that the'eleven yearly meetings of the Orthodox Friends show a membership of 85,000. The meetings referred to include those of the East and West. Without this showing- it was evident to anyone having even a slight acquaintance with Quaker communities that the New York writer did not know what he was talking about, In Indiana the Friends fOrm a large and influen- tial element in the eitizenship,and show no Highs of diminishing strength, either of numbers or character. So far from being too good to live, they live a long time, and all that time they are good enough, but not too good. - [Indianapolis Journal.

Deacon 'Moses Brown was a man of great patience, but also so great firmness that some per- sons called him obstinate. Though never harsh in his treat- ment of his oxen and horses, he always: handled them so that they were the best trained animals in the neighborhood. At last, however, the good deacon bought an apparently fine horse which, after a time, occasionally showed signs of being balky. Still the deacon was so skilful in his management that he had no serious trouble, until one day in May when be undertook to har- rowing on his little farm. The horse went well enough for a time, but about 9 o'cloek in the morning he suddenly stopped and obstinately refused to budge. The deacon coaxed him, tried to lead him by the bridle, and even whipped him a little, but without avail. There the beast stood, and there he evidently meant to stand just as long as he pleased. Bill Swett, the hired man, who was at work with tho oxen in the adjoining field, chuckled as he saw the deacon's predicament. 'Guess he's stuck this time,' said Bill to himself; 'might as well give it up,' as the deacon made another ineffectual attempt to start the obstinate brute. Pretty soon the deacon hung the reins over the top of the hamos and started for the house. 'What's the old man up to s'poso ?' asked Bill, apparently of the 'high' ox, 'Shouldn't won- der if she gointo try something new.' And so it proved, for in a moment the deacon reappeared bearing two pieces of board and an old kitchen chair. 'Looks as though ho meant co set' down 'n' takelit easy,'explain- ed Bill to the oxen . 'Guess he'll be makin' an all -day job of it.' The deacon, without saying a word, placed the boards side by side °vile harrows, Rot the chair. I himself iu the chair. Then he f firmly on the boards, then took the reins in his bands and seated shook the reins encouragingly and called cheerily to the horse. 'Come, go 'long, ye've got to harrer 1' But the horse didn't barrow; he simply put his ears back and looked 'perfectly immovable. So all through the forenoon the deacon sat pearched on his chair, showing no anger, nor even impatience. Sometimes he sang to himself a stanza or two of' "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord." or something equally applicable to the case in hand. Occasion- ally he shook the reins and called 'Come, git up, got to barrel. 1' When the dinner -horn sounded the deacon called to Bill. Tell mother 1 shan't be up till I get through this job.' When, after. dinner, Bill re- turned to his work he saw the deacon sitting solemnly erect, and heard him repeat the famitur re - from 'Come go 'long, ye've got to harrer.' During the afternoon Bill often looked across at the deacon and horse, and expressed sometimes to himself, and sometimes to the 'nigh' ox, his belief that the dea- con has mot his match. Then, as ho looked again and remembered how determined Deacon Moses always was, he would change his mind and say, 'Wall, by back, the old man'll fetch him yet.' By and by the horn was blown fur supper, but the deacon little heeded. He only called to 1111, and told him to see to all the chores, as ho couldn't leave the fleld yet awhile; then he flapped the reins gently and repeated the well-worn formula, 'Come, g 'long, got to harrer.' Bill ate his 'supper, did the chores, and prepared to go to bed. Then lie thought ho would just look to see how the deacon was getting along with his job.. So to the field he went in tho darkness -it was now nearly 0 o'clock in the evening -there to find the triumphant deacon riding on the harrow across the field as fast as the horse could haul him. They did not stop as Bill ap- proached, but the deacon shouted as they went past, 'Had to harrer didn't he :" It is worth recording that ever afterward the horse remember( 1 his lesson and never showed any symptoms al' balkiness. As the deacon would have said, 'He knew he'd got to harrer.' Minard's Linimentiumberman's friend THE SKIN. There's a skin without, and a skin with- in, A covering skin, and a lining skin; But the skin within is the skin with out, Doubled inwards and carried completly throughout.
