A soft melancholia circles her brow,
A sort of Idealized Doleful;
Her manners are charming; I freely allow
That her eyes are exceedingly soulful,
Her Infinite graces allure and entice;
There are those who consider her witty,
But she told me the poems ol Shakespeare
were "nice"
And the Falls of Niagara "pretty."
She dances as angels in heaven might dance,
Were dancing adapted to their case ;
Her fortunate partner's delight to enhance
She consents to sit out on the staircase.
Her beauty was causing my pulse to go quick,
Without any occasion whatever;
But then she informed me that Browning was
"chic"
And that Handel's "Messiah" was "clever."
They say she is "cultured," paints plattera
and cards,
And therefore she cannot be stupid;
She copies out verses from beautiful bards,
About Venus and Psyche and Cupid.
I dote upon cnltnre; I'd fall at her feet,
With a lover's Infatnate folly;
But; ahl she haa told me tbat Wagner Is
"sweet,"
And that Tennyson's "awfully jolly."
—From the St. James's Gazette.

PUBLIC OPINION".
The most important thing In life
Is what the neighbors say.
The thing that stops or starts up strife
Is what the neighbors say.
No matter what the case may be,
Just look around, and you will see
Tbe thing that governs you and me
Is what the neighbors say.
Your wife thinks, when she gets a dress.
What will the neighbors say.
She almost rests her happiness
On what the neighbors say.
The girl with a new diamond ring,
A sealskin sacque, or some such thing.
Thinks, as she gives her head a fling.
What will the neighbors say ?
You know yourself how much you care
For what the neighbors say.
Sometimes the hardest thing to bear
Is what the neighbors say.
You may pretend that you don't mind.
But still you wince when they're unkind—
The chief thing in this life you'll find.
Is what tbe neighbors say.

IN THE DARK,
OK
A FEARFUL, FRIGHT.
We -were just getting ready for dinner
when a Mexican ran excitedly into camp
and announced with trembling lips tbat
old Diavolo, the man-eating lion, was on
the rampage again. He had killed a sheep
herder only last night, and the Mexican as
sured us that he had struck our trail, and
might descend on the camp at any mo
merit.
Our party consisted of Ben Sutro, a griz
■led forty-niner; Lieutenant Mason,a young
West Pointer;* Pedro, the cook; and Bob
Mason and myself, two newspaper men
writing up the West.
The Mexican's story had excited the par
ty so much that they could hardly finish
their meal, and old Sutro was in favor ol
going in search of the lion and kill him be
fore he bad a chance to try tbe same game
on us.
Having ridden sixty miles tbat day and
feeling rheumatic, I did not ask to join the
party, but offered to keep house while they
were away.
It was i.l early fall, yet the night air was
chilly; so I heaped more fuel upon the fire.
and set the coffee pot where it would keei
hot until the return of tbe hunters ; for I
knew they wonld relish a draught of the
cheering beverage alter their tramp.
Then, using my saddle for a pillow, I
rolled my Bel; in my blankets, and lay down
with my feet to the fire.
The stars were shining brightly, and 1
lay for a long time gazing at tlie tiny world
above me, and listening to the croaking ol
the frogs. I did not intend to go to sleep,
bat gradually my senses left me, and I was
in the land of dreams.
I had slept some time—when I was
•wakened by a sharp pain in my left arm.
and at tbe same was aware that I was be
Ing turned over.
My natural impulse was to yell and
■prig to my feet, bnt something restrained
me. —ad I moved I should not be here to
tell this tale. I immediately got posses
aion of my faculties, and although wrapped
head and ears in my blankets, I distinctly
heard a purring sound, as though a great
cat was standing over me. The memory of
Jose's encounter with the lion flashed up
on me.
The next instant all doubt was removed,
for the sharp claws again pierced my side,
and I was rolled over like a log- I dare not
cry out for help, for I knew tbat tbe slight
est movement, tbe least sign of life, would
be instant death. Ob, what agony I suf
fered in those brief moments.
Perspiration started from every pore in
my body. My heart stood still. I was
froaen with horror. Each inssant I expect
ed to feel the cruel fangs fasten upon my
throat. The muzzle of the brute pressed
me as be snuffed at the blanket. It seemed
as if whole hours were being consumed.
What was Itodo ? If my comrades did
not return the lion was sure to lire of toy
ing with the inanimate roll of blankets, and
tear them into shreds. Already my side was
frightfully mangled by the sharp claws,and
I suffered dreadfully.
One's senses are sharpened by peril. I
revolved a dozen schemes in my bead while
I lay upon my face, scarcely daring to
breathe.
Suddenly a desperate ruse suggested it
self. The pond, deep and black, lay but a
few feet from tbe fire, whioh now must be
dead, or the lion would never have ap
proached. The bank shelved to the water's
edge. It was a life-or-deatb risk, but Ide
termined to attempt to roll into the water.
Once in the deep water of tbe lake I knew
I should be safe, for all the cat tribe are
afraid of wetting their feet.
But how to escape tbese terrible claws.
At the first movement tbe lion would be
npon me with a bound.
Ha! I bad my revolver in its hoister at
my side, and my hand w« near it,
Slowly, witb an imperceptible motion, I
■lipped my hand around until I grasped the
bill. I dared not draw the weapon. It
was a self cooking revolver, and I knew
that if 1 could fire it the report would so
Btartie tbe beast, that I Eoi?ht, roll into the
lake before he recovered from his panic
At any rate,l would make the attempt.
My finger wai upon the trigger, and I
felt it yield just as tte po- dross paw again
landed upon my side directly over the hol
ster.
Tbere was not an instant to lose. With
• jerk I threw the muzzle of tbe weapon,
still in tbe holster, as nearly aa I could in a
line with where I judged the beast's body
to be, and pusled.
There was a sharp report, and a terrific
eoreani, tbat froze tbe marrow in my
bones, but I retained sufficient sense to roll
over and over, and fall plump into the
lake.
I sank down, and down, like an animated
crowbar. The water was like ice, and 1
was confronted by a new periljfor the Man
kets were wrapped so tightly around mi
that I could not free myself readily.
But I struggled desperately, and sue
oeeded in lowering my arms. As I came
gasping to the surface I heard two gun
shots in quick succession, and several
shouts.
I knew that my comrades had returned,
and had just strength enough to paddle to
the shore and drag myself out npon the
bank.
When I regained consciousness I was ly
ing npon a couch of blankets, surrounded
by the boys, and the colonel was holding a
flask to my lips.
"It's all right, old man," said Sutro.
''You had a pretty close call, all along of
that infernal Pedro. We missed tbe lion
and he got between ue and tbe camp on tbe
trail.
"We heard tbe shot as we were return
■something camo
> all get out. I
lgs, and it fell

rasefully, and
then shook hands with each of tbe other
fellows.
Hearing a groan,l turned my eyes in that
direction, and saw tbe wretched Mexican
lying npon the ground.
"Oh! he'll do," said Sutro, answering my
unformed quest ion. "Only a oouple of ribs
and a shaking up. We will send him back;
to San Jose with Jose to-morrow.''
The fire was blazing again, and Jose was
busily engaged in preparing a decoction of
bruised aromatio leaves, with wbich he
speedily bound up my wounds. The Mex
icans and California Indians are skilful
with herbs, and Jose's poultices gave me
instant relief.
We examined the carcass of tbe old lion
on tbe following morning, and fonnd it pret
ty well riddled with the colonel's sings.
There were a dozen soars of bullets the old
fellow had carried away with him in former
years, and In tbe fore paw we found the
bullet from my revolver.
As I write this account of the most thril
ling event of my life, my feet rest npon old
Diavolo's pelt stretched out in front of my
fireplace. We are old friends now.
