Bat "I Won't," with a dark and angry frown Goes sauntering down the street. And sullenly idles the time away Till he thinks his task complete. At school, " I Will" leama his Tessons all well, And is seldom absent or late •' I Can't" finds the lessons all too bard " I Won't" hates book and slate. So the seasons come and the seasons go.

' Who brought that dog here Send him liacfc at once. " So spoke, in his deepest and sternest tones, old Colonel Eugene Noirmont, as he rode out of the French fort at Biskra, in the Sahara desert, at the head of a strong body of irreg- ular cavalry which had been sent to check the raids of a hostile Arab tribe. " He is my dog, Colonel," answered the junior captain, young Alphonse de Picardon, glancing apologetically at the small white poodle that was close at his horse's heels and I hope you will not object to his going with us, for it would break his heart to be left behind." " And whose heart will it break," growled the Colonel, " if the brute begins barking just as we're going to take the Arabs by sur- prise, and warns them of our coming " "It is not for me to contradict you, Colonel, " said the young officer, respectfully; "but, with your pemiission, I can soon show you that there is no fear of that. " Then he turned to the dog and said, sternly "Jac- quot, silence a la mort." Then, at a sign from the Captain, several of the men began to shout, clap their hands and make noise enough to set an ordimiry dog barking furiously, but Jacquot never uttered a sound. "Very well," said the Colonel at lengtli, "the dog may go," but remember, Captain de Picardon, that I shall hold you responsible 'for his behavior." The young captain saluted and fell into iiis place without a word, and off rode the aetachment. It was weary work riding over stony ridges and sandy hollows through the blistering ,heat and the blinding glare, while the hot, prickly dust, rising up in clouds at eaclistep, «logged every pore and clioked every bieath. Mile after mile of the desert was left.liehiiid, hour after hour of the burning, weary inter- minable day crept slowly j)ast, but still there was no sign of the enemy, or of any living thing save a v.'ide winged vulture, which hung poised in mid-air, like a blot upon tlie bright, scorching, cloudless sky. The sol- diers grew impatient, and Ijegan to nnirmur and growl. But all at once the dog (which was still keeping pace with them) stopped short, snuflfed the air uneasily and then began to run restlessly backward and forward, uttering a low, anxious whine. "Do you think he scents the enemy: the back when his dog fiew at the A a'j's throat and clutched it with such energy that the man fell to the ground, bleeding and half strangled. "Form in line " shouted Colonel Xoir- mont when the fight was over and all the wounded had been brought in.. "My child- ren, you have done well, and I thank you. To-morrow you shall be reported for good service to the commander-in-chief himself, and he will not forget you, but I have one acknowledgment to msdie before that. Cap- tain de Picardon, bring forward your dog. ' The four footed scout was at once produc- ed, and, when set down in front of the Col- onel, he stood up on his hind legs and made a military salute with his fore paw^ to the unbounded delight of the soldiers. "A soldier who knows his duty so well," said the Colonel, with a grim smile, ' 'must not go unrecompensed, and thus I reward his services." So saying he detached from his own uni- form the cross of the Legion of Honor and hung it around the dog"s neck amid thunder- ing cheers from the assembled troopers, who declared with one voice that this decoration had been fairly won by their "dog sol-^ dier." Aunt Nerv's Mistake. like dear only that â- whispered Colonel Xoinuoiit to Captain de Picardon. "I'll stake my life tliat he does," replied the Captain. "I've never yet found- him j bed makiuj^, wrong. There must be some liollow here that we can't see. Here, ilorel, Barbot, hold fast to each other while I climb on to your shoulders."' And then, supported by the two burly troopers, lie raised himself high enough to make out a dry watercourse a few hundred yards ahead, in the hollow of which a large number of men might easily be hidden. "Aha " cried the Colonel, when he heard this, " they want to catch us in an ambush, do they Not so fast, my fine fellows JHalf a dozen of you dismount, lads, and un- slmc your carbines, move forward about fifty paces, and then fire. The crash of the volley rolled like thunder "along the silent desert, while the Colonel xoared, in Arabic, "Come out, you dogs? We see you plainlj-." The effect was magical. ' Up started, as if Tising through the earth, a swarm of savage faces and wild figures, while the flash and -crackle of the answering volley followed as thmider follows lightning but the Arabs, firing hastily and almost at random, only woimded two men. "Now," thundered the Colonel, "upon them before they can reload. " Down swept the French upon their enemies like a whirlwind, and in a moment were '^and to hand with them. The Ara.bs fought like tigers, but training and discipline soon began to tell, and the battle was over (as ~-one of the French troopers regretfully ob- served) "almost before one had time to enjoy it." But, when the Arabs began to scatter and fly, the Colonel (whose blood was fairly up) dashed off in pursuit of them so recklessly that he was soon left almost alone, seeing which three of the enemy -faced roimd and attackedhim.

And a very cousin at that. Minerva Fresno was two years older than Belle Colman, so it seemed strange to hear voluble Belle, when she was three years old, calling an- other tot, who realty seemed very little old- er, "AuntNerva." And yet that was the way Belle Colman always addressed Minerva Fresno. Grandpa Fresno lived in Walnut Valley, eight miles from his son-in-law, Jonathan Colman, but these tv/o little maidens, aunt and niece, made at least two visits yearly to each other. At Grandpa Fresno's there was the wonderful dairy cave in the side of the hill near tlie kitchen door, and the great orchard below the house, both fuU of wonders and delights for them; while at Mr. Colman's there was the large lake and the turnpike to occupy their time and talents. When they were apart they long- ed and talked of the time when they should see each other when together, they played very hard and constantly, so as not to think of the parting time and when they came to separate, their tears and lamentations made a scene dolefid to behold. Xow Belle was supposed to be giddy, while Xerv was a quiet, .steady girl. Belle's impulsive headlong ways made her many a true friend and bitter enemy Xerv's placid nature gained her very few wann friends, but she had no enemies. Belle threw herself into the enjoyment of the passing moment with abandon or vehemently detested any- thing in the passing moment that made it unenjoyable. It was hard to get an opinion out of Xerv, and she rarely scolded or praised. These two girls, so very different, were bosom friends until the eldest was sixteen and the youngest fourteen years of age. At this time Mr. Colman removed from his farm to town, and opened a store. This threw Belle into gay company, and with her im- pulsive nature it is not strange that she soon got a reputation for being volatile, and yet she was a good-hearted girl, true to her friends, anxious to know and do the right, but scorning to take the trouble to undeceive those who judged her wrongfully. The first time Xerv visited her in town, a coolness sprang up between them because Xerv made the mistake of thinking Belle "stuck up," and Belle made the mistake of allowing her to think so. It is miriecessary to repe;it the thousand and one little things that .sundered them more and more. I will hasten to the pleasant task of relating how thev " made up," About two years after BelLe had gone to town she visited Kervj Upon her arrival at AValnut Valley, Granilma Fresno said " Bella, dear, I'm awful glad you'v^e come. Vina is down sick and I must go and nurse her. Xerv is not well, and the hired girl left last week. I wish you would stay right here and manage things until I get back." "I'll do so. Grandma, with the under- standing that you are to ask no questions al)out how much cream I use on my straw- berries, when you get back." " Xow, Belle, you know I alvays want you to have all the cream your berries will stand." " That's true. Grandma, I was just teas- ing you. Go on to Aunt Vina I'll run this machine all right." Ami so big-hearted (irandma Fresno fusseil away three miles to see her sick daughter, leaving Xerv and Belle to cook for (Jiaudpa, Ross, Jim and Joe, milk seven cows and make tlio butter. The sweeping, etc., made the task of keeping house no sinecure, but Belle was in earnest, and when Grandma vv-as fairly away, shp said " Well, Aunt Xerva, what shall I do?" " I'm afraid you'll spoil your hands. Belle, with housev.-ork. You'd better take your crochet and stay in the sitting room." "Crochet; Bless you, I can crochet in Xeola. If yon are more anxious about my hands than {I am, I'll go pick some straw- berries," and away she went. Xerv dragged thrpugh the preparation of dinner, which the men, fresh from the fields, swallowed with relish. They were soon back at their work, but Xerv could not go on with her work. She was sick. Belle saw it and said "Xow, Annt Xerva, you must lie down, • replacing them with kettles, into which, she hearty 'â-  pored water. Hurrj-ing to the sick room she placed the stove Uds at the patients feet then gave her a cup of ginger tea. She now caUedthe men from the held, started one. for the doctor, and with Grandpa, worked with the sick girl mitil the doctor came. She did all the evening's work while Xer? was delirious. When the doctor left at mid- night, Grandpa asked him if it would be best to send for Grandma. " Xo, I would leave her where she is. Vina needs careful nursing. Belle will take care of X'erv, and she'll be all right in four or five days." Well, Grandma did not get home for six days. During all that time Belle nursed Xerv, did the housework, milked the seven cows, churned every day, washed and ironed once, and met Grandrna with a smiling wel- come saying: "Grandma, I never had so much fun in my life. Aunt Xerva has been sick and I've had the whole thing to nyself bossed the men around shamefully. They re awful glad you've returned." A week later, when Belle had to go home, Xerv folded her in a long embfcace and said " My dear girl. I never hated to see you go as badly as I do this time- Just to think what a big mistake I made. 1 thought you were stuck up, and you are as common as my old shoe. "' TE AGEDT OK A STEAMSHIP.

A Female Cabin Passenser Takes a Bose of lAndannm and Dies. Mrs. Ida Ward, of Leicester, England, a cabin passenger on board the American Line steamer British Princess, captian Freeth, which arrived at Philadelphia the other day, committed suicide on the way over and was buried at sea. When the British Princess left Liverpool she had about 106 steerage passengers and one cabin passenger â€" an English woman whose name appeared on the jjassenger list as Mrs. Ida Ward. Even if she had not been the only saloon passenger abcard the atten- tention of Captain Freeth and his officera would have been draWn towards their sol- itary table companion, as Mrs. Ward was a woman who would have attracted notice a- board a crowded transatlantic liner. She was yoimg, about twenty -five years old, handsome and highly accomplished, speaking several languages and was a finish- ed musician. The intonations of her voice and intimate knowledge of all the convention- alities of society strengthened the belief that she was a woman belonging to a cultured and refined circle of society. She was extiemely reticent about herself. But she told Ciipt. Freeth that she was from Leicester, and that her husband lived there, and that she was on her way to Cincinnati. O., to study to become a professional nurse. From several other remarks the officers decided that her domestic relations were not happy, and the evident depression, and mental anixety under which she appeared to suffer confirmed their opinion. Mrs. Ward suffered greatly from sea-sickness, which tended to still further depress her and Capt. Freeth grew anxious about her condition. On the morning of the llth of the month the stewardess knocked at Mrs. Ward's state room, and receiving no answer opened the door and found her lying in her bunk in a nearly comatose condition. One glance at the tinconscious woman told the doctor that she had token laudanum, and he at once administered the regular antidotes. She Was Walked up and down the deck and the stomach pump was brought into use, but despite all their efforts she died a few hours after she was .first dis- covered. That same day she was buried at sea in the presence of the crew and steerage pas- sengers, Capt. Freeth reading the Church of England burial services over her body before it was consigned to the ocean's bed. N'o communication or letter of any kind was found to show wbit reason drove her to her death. It is possibh; that the unfortunate woman did the deed in contemplation befere she came aboard the Princess, as three bottles of laudanum, two full and one empty, were found in her state room.

None of your painting and gTld- The Extraordinary Last ]Homent.i of a Tien- aa tulvcrslty Professor. A most remarkable deathbed scene took place in Vienna three weeks ago. The hero of it was a young professor at the University there. He was a man of great brilliancyand learning. His lectures concerning the inner life of the soul were famous among the stu- dents, who attended them in crowds. He was regarded by his fellow professors in the philosophical faculty as the coming man hi the department of psychology. Socially, also, he was a man o*f considerable pro- minence. He had married into a wealthy family, and took every opportunity to get for his wifeand three childrenall the pleasure winch the gay Austrian capital affords. At the theatre, on the promenade, and at the great court balls he was one of the most familiar figures. Four years ago he fell ill of an incurable disease, and his physician warned him that only a radical change from his gay mode of life could hinder for a short time the progress of the malady. The young professor answered quietly that he would die as a philosopher should die, withoiit an effort to defer his last day. He ate, drank, studied, lectured and danced exactly as he did before tlie doctor warned him. A few weeks ago he lay down on his deathbed. He reacl the same books and talked of the same frivolous amusements as usual uptoone evening alwut three weeks ago. At 8 o'clock the doctor then told him that he would die withiiia few hours. The young professor discussed many topics, entirely foreign to the subject ot his fast-approaching death, with Iiis wife till midnight. "I feelwell, verywell,"hesaid to herfinallv, so well that I would like to drink a bottle ot champagne with you before I go. Kiss me-for I may go while you are awayâ€" and then have the wine put on ice."
