"One day (it will be long enough
before I forget it) my husband was
out as usual at his woik, and the
nurse had gone down -to .the 'other
nativo servants at the end of the
'compound,' as we j call this big in-
closure , jarid I .was left alone In the
house with my little 3Iinnie ydnder;
.who .was then just about a year old
By this time I had got over my first
fears, nird didn't mind a bit beino-
left by myself; indeed, all the lower
windows having bars across th'em,-I
thought I was safe enough ; put
little dreamed of what was coming!
'I must have been
sitting
my sewing nearly an hour,; with the
child playing about the floor beside
r
me, when suddenly I heard a dull
thump overhead, as if something
had fallen upon the roof. I didn't
think, anything of it at the moment,
for one soon gets use to all sorts of
strange sounds in the Indian jungle ;
but, presently, I could hear a heavy
breathing in the next room but; one,
and then ! I began to feel frightened
in earnest. I rose as softlv as 'I
could, and crept to the doorj-way
between the rooms. This door-way
was only! closed .by a curtain,! and
gently- pulling aside the folds' J
peeped through and found myself
within a few paces of the largest
panther I had ever seeu in my life !
''For 'one moment it was just
as if I had been 'frozen stiff", and
a's if somebody had spoken it : ,The
biir chft I' i
' ' I knew that this chest would hold
me and child easily, and that I could
'.cave a, chink of the lid open to let
us breathe, (or the overlapping edge
Would, save my fingers lrom the pan
ther.. In- a second I had it all before
me; but had the brute not stopped
jort at the sight of the curta'in, I
should never had the chance of; try
ing it. 'Luckily for me, the Indian
panther, savage as be is, is a .terrible
coward, and suspicious as any detect
ive. I have seen one go round and
round a trap for more than half an
hour before'he made up his mind to
spring at the j bait. Stt while my
friend was puzzling himself over the
curtain, and wondering whether it
was meant for a trap or not, I r took
up Minnie (who, poor little;! pet,
seemed to know there was some
thing wrong, and never uttered , a
sound) and into the chest I crept,
making as little noise as I could.
."I was hardly settled when I
heard the 'sniff, sniff' of the panther
coming right up to where I la and
through the chink that I had left
open, the hot, foul breath came
streaming in upon my face, almost
making me Mick. It seemed to bring

! my finders, rapping them so hard
that I hardly knew how to stand it.
Still, the touch of Minnie s little arm
around mv neck seemed to give me
courage.'
s "But there was far worse than this
to come ; for the panth?r leapt right
on top of the chest, and his weight
pressed clown the, neavy 11a upon
my fingers j until the pain was so
terrible that, unable to stand it any
longer, I screamed with all my
might. ; j
"The scream was answered by a
shout from just outside, in which I
recognized my husband's voice. The
panther, heard it, loo, and it seemed
to scare him, for he made a dash lor

THE PET BOY IN COLLEGE.
I had not been home many hours ;
the female members I of the family
had not exclaimed I more than a
thousand times, , "Why, Fred, how
you've changed j SI j hardly knew
you !'' my younger brother had only
just succeeded in smashing my first
cane, when " word was brought that
'I Your father u-ould like to see you
in-the study, Mr. Fred." ;
j "Ah, Fiexl, my boy, sit ciowu and
tell me how- 3-011 are getting on at
Harvard r" 'r-- ;-r - . -; .
j "Oh, first-rate.! I played foot-ball
in the fall, am training this winter
for the crew, and think of base ball
ip the spring'
1 Yes, yes ; but Fred, how about
the Greek and Latin ?"
"Oh, thoy're ali right, I'm in the
dvanced section of both studies,.,'
j "I'm very glad to hear it ; for
Fred, I'm a little, worried, by two
iJotices I received from the college,
something about your doing poorly
in Greek' and Latin examinations.''
J "Did you really ; get such letters;
father? That's immense! Why
they're Deturs !" !
"Eh ?''
"Why Deturs, gifts.; from the col
lege. From the Lalin do, dare,

gives them only to the twenty, best
scholars in the class.; It's a great
honor to get one ; fellows that get
Deturs haug them up in frames.
You hardly ever get more than one,
ihy having tyo is superb, equal to
letting a double first at Oxford."
j "Indeed, I al ways thought you
were bright, Fred ; but what does
it mean , by saying if you don t do
better you will have to yever your
connection with the college ?'V
4Pooh ! That's nothing, father,
only a mere form.; relic of an old
custom. You, see, about a hundred
years ago the twenty! best men of
the class used to contend in an ex-

GOOD ADVICE TO GIRLS
Speaking of the anxiety of -g
rls
to get through girlhood- hurriedly
and into womanhood without enjpy
ing the beautiful season of girlhood,
BishoplMorris says ': ." W!ait patiently
my children. Go not after yur
womanhood ; let: it come to ypu.
Keep out of public view. Cultivate
refinement and inbdesty. The cares
and responsibil ities of -life will come
soon enough. When they come, you
will meet themj Ij trust, as true wo
men should. lut, oh ! be not so un
wis as to throw avay your girlhood.1
Rob not yourself of this beautiful
season, which,; wisely spent, will
brighten all yoiirjfuture life." j
THE SECRET. j !
-Father Evans, the oldest newspa
per man in the State, has been study

He ha3 J effectual I v sol ved
the problem, and gives the following
as the result of his investigations :
Printer's ink makes towns-the
want of it ruins them. But ,there
are business men . (so-called) , who
rather risk ruin than invest a dollar
or two in printer's ink to make a
fortune. Tbey 1 keep their ".lights
