so clearly exonerated Mr. Fife that"
a committee adopted a resolution !
expressing their , disbelief of the
Story and their confidence in Mr.
Fife's Chiistian character. The
young lady herself wrote a letter
exonerating him. She- subse
quently charged the iKiternity of

I was reminded tMs morniugJ
that the time was dra win-near for
I me to return to my city home, aocJ
thought of all the beautiful
things I should leave behind, and
I wished for my admiration to be
gratined once more, so-1 put outour Si:lllsiaciIOU- 1 am corropona-
across the fields and into theiinS with the government at Wash-l
woods. O, how charming every
thing l6oked in the morning sun
shine! All the little flowers spark
Jed with a liquid irem of dew. I
walked through beds of Pitcher
plants., which are curious, both in
their leaves and flowers. The
pitchers are full or half full of clear
water. They would quiver at
every foot-step, . the motion of
whi'di would cause tiny ripples of
water to drop at my feet. Here,
too, Blackberry yines are laden
with luscious fruit.
I was charmed with the song
sters of the forest. Seemingly
every tree, bush and fence jam was
alive with music. There are so
many different kinds of birds here,
but cf the -'multitude of singers that
enliven the month of July, the one
whose voice is heard earliest every
morniug and last at night is the
smallest of them all, the tiny Fly
catcher, and its fairy like voice
this morning enchanted me, while
the rest seemed trying to d round
his notes. Most people like the
Mocking bird best, but I do noc.
I was disgusted at his feeble at
tempt th:s mornug ii trying to
mock all those melodious songs.
For some distance, m.v path lay
along the swamp side, through pine
woods and by low - valleys where
even - now the poplar leaves
are ripening, and at a distance one
woujd thiuk tb.2 tree was full of
fruit.
; Brpally fter walkuig aboivt for
an hour I came upon1 a patch of
open ground, on which stood just
trees enough to hade it. I flung
myself at full length oiv the grass,,
thinking the hours shorter than
years. Why not enjoy them?
After resting for a short while I
was aroused by something, "and, I

Cold indeed must be the heart
that loves not nature.

j -in tellm they are here
Since 1 have teen m tis country I
have treated only two persons who I
j had reason to believe were bitten by
; wad cats.
"In Paris mad cats are almost as
common as .mad dogs. People are
often bitten by them while returning
from tho theatre. The cats shun the
light and take refuse in dark hallwav?.
The noise of -the, people groping their
j way up the stairs late at night stirs the
animals up, and- often they l:y at the
faces of their disturlers. Koforo Pas
teur many people died in Taris from
hydrophobia resulting from cat bites.
But hydrophobia, whether caused by
cats or dogs, is far more prevalent
abroad than it as m this country."
