SONG Q1? TIZE WISECK.
Tho wind blew liisli, tlie
waters raved
A ship drovo on the kind,
A hundred human creatures saved
Kneeled down upon the sand.
Threescore were drowned, threescoro wore
thrown
Upon the black rooks wild,
And thus among them, left alone,
They found oaeholples3 child.
A seaman rough, to shipwreck brod,
Stood out from all the rest,
And gently laid tho lonoly head
Upon his honest breast,
And traveling o'er tho desert wide
It was a solemn joy
To so-3 tbcm, ever side by sido,
Tho sailor and the boy.
In famine, sickness, hunger, thirst,
The two woro still but ono,
Until tho strong drooped tho first
And folt his labors done.
Then to a trusty friend he spake:
' Across tho desert wide,
O take this poor boy for my sake!"
And kiss'd the chid and died.
Toiling along in weary plight
Through heavy jungle, mire,
These two came later every night
To warm them at tho fire.
Until tho Captain said ono day,
''O seaman, good and kind,
To sao tlrysolf now come away
And leave tho child behind!"
Tho child was slumberingiuoar the blazo;
" O Captain, let him rosfc
Until it sinks, when God's own ways
Shall teach us what is best !"
They watch'd tho whiton'd ashy heap,
Then touch'd tho child in vain,
They did not leave him thero asleep,
He never woko aga in .

TWO 3HJEE.S.
Bloir Sctoii Furies Fouglii iu an
Intliaii Arena.
Poplar River, Montana, was recent
ly the scene of two exciting Indian
contests, which are described in a
letter to the New York Sun. The
first was a tournament between two
"medicine men," to determine who
should have the honor of attending
the sick wife of Two Bears, the chief.
The mode of lighting was f jr the
two rivals to rash at each other from
ono-hundred-yard distances, and to
endeavor by the crash of the meeting
to send tho opponent to tho ground.
Arter each terrinc "bump" tho "rnedi-
,ehie men" would at it again. Finally,

was tho fight between the four young
daughters of Pole cat, and young
buck who had assaulted one of their
uumboi. The scene is thus described
by tho correspondent: "Tho" lines
are broken and the tribo forms a
huge ring, into which tho savage
who provoked the animosity

thrust.
He has
He looks sullen and dogged

girls out if it lies in niusclo and
prompt and effective work. Ho may

breast, and kftl them if a blow in the
neck will doit, butbuilets and arrows
are ratdy for him if ho strikes foul.
The girls, on tho other hand, must

only criouglrte make the battle near
ly equal. Th Pole-cat girls are tho
belles of tho "xiinktonais tribe. If a
squaw can bo pretty, those girls are
beautiful, and by virtuo of their at
tractions" and their father's posses
sions in horses and other satisfactory
property, thoy are tho aristocrats of
tho camp. Perhaps for that reason
thoy ask no holp in their present un
dertaking; and for that reason also,
perhaps, their savage sisters gigglo
and exchange whispers as the four
girls step into ;he ring and approach
tho waiting bu 'k. All five are in full

and along.his noek.aro alternato sepia
and greon and yellow stripes on a
background of brilliant red, while
his chest, sides, and back are tricked
out with rale pictures of .guns, bows,
and horses. The girls have smeared
their f aces vitb-a coating of rod, over
which lies another of green striped
with ellow.; Their; hair is unfasten
ed at the bask, and! the front locks
ar braided Avith tter fur. Each
wers A skirtand laggings, hut their
blaikf t3 arQ aside, ylnd theii
off the rest. She is tho creneral of
tho attacking forces and the prime
object of his attack. Uver sue goes
liko a pin-wheel, but she is up again
her face streaming with bbood and
her eyes swelling. The elder
has contrived to secure a waist hold
and locked her hands behind his
back. His fists fall upon her upturn
ed face with frightful force, but she
keeps her hold. Tho other two girls
are pressing him hard from behind
but his elbows work like battering-
rams, and one steps back with her
hand pressed tightly to her breast
and a look of agony in her eyes
Now he whirls suddenly, planting
ponderous blows upon the face and
head of the girl, who, on her knees,
still clings to his waist with a death
grip. He fairly raises her from the
ground as he spins, but her hold
never relaxes, ilis earlier victim
again dashes at him, and is rewai ded
with a crashing stroke on the mouth
Sho reels, but recovers, and darts
asrain, to receive his fist on her neck
with a force that whirls her half a
dozen paces on and drops ner nice a
log. Not a word is spoken. The
thud of his fists and the heavy breath
ing of the struggling contestants are
the only sounds.' The last rally of
the prostrate girl has enabled the
rear paity to catch the buck, and ono
has twined her arms around his neok,
while tho other hangs to his right
wrist. His left hand is still free, and
it fairly twinkles in the air as he
batters the maiden at his waist. Her
grasp is liko iron, bui her head reels
and sways as his heavy hand falls on
it with a noise that reaches the far
thest side of tho irresrular riner. Her
eyes are closed, and her breath comes
convnlsivelv. TA'ero tho fourth s?irl
there to crasp that arm, tho fijdit
would soon end. The srirl behind fs
choking him, and he employs new
tactics. Grasping tho kneeling girl
by tho throat, ho pounds the face of
tho one behind him with tho back of
his head. No vanity prompts her to
let go. Sho tightens her grip, and
buries her face in the back of his
neck. The fourth girl is up, stagger
ing and dazed. Brushing the blood
from her eyes, with an angry motion,
she 'approaches him, crouching as
sho moves?" ji the blow . he has in
store for her reaches the mark ho
will have another chance, for the girl
at his waist is growing faint, and he
can easily dispose of tho other two.
She comes at him liko a cougar. The
blow is delivered full upon her breast.
but she grasps his wrist, and writhes
up his arm. Now ho is beset with
danger. Tho two on his arms and
tho ono at his waist pull him forward;
tho girl behind, still strangling him,
throws her weight on his back. In
vain he attempts to straighten. The
kneeling girl bends, in her despairing
struggle, until her hair hangs on the
ground. The other three show the
muscles rigid in their arms as they
! press him down upon their kneeling
sister. Suddenly he springs back
witli a marvelous effort oi strength.
Tho fainting girl at his waist finds
um hands torn apart. But that tri
umph was his defeat. "With a crash
he comes to tho ground, three girls
upon him. One plants herself upon
his face, and the other two kneel on
his arms Thero is a struggle, and
then the youngest rises, with a wild
yell, waving tho apron in her hand.
Her yell is echoed by low a moan, as
the mother of the prostrate hunter
staggers out of the circle; and by a
grunt of satisfaction as Pole-cat re
cognises tho victory of his girls. To.
morrow, gsomewhero up the river,
that disgraced buck will bo found
with a bullet in his brain."
Feminine Brevities.
Wrinkles disfigure a woman loss
than ill-nature. Dupuy.
Woman is an idol that man wor
ships, until he throws it down.
Women always love; when earth
slips from them they take refuge in
heaven.
Thero is no torture that a woman
would not suffer to enhance her
beauty. Montaigne.
The whisper of a beautiful woman
can be heard farther than the loudest
call of duty.
Of all things that man possesses
vr men alone take pleasure in being
Woman among savages is a beast
of btirden: in Asia she is a piece of
furniture; in Europe she is a spoiled
child. Senac do Meilhan.
The highest mark of esteem a wo
man can give a man is to ask his
friendship; and the most signal proof
of her indifference is to offer him
hers!
Men are so foarful of wounding a
woman's vanity that they rarely re
member that she may by some popsi
bility possess a grain of common
sense. Miss Braddon.
At twenty man is less a 'lover of
woman than of women : he is more in
love with the sex than with the indi
vidual, however charming she may
be. Retif de la Bretonne.
Women of the world never use
harsh expressions when condemning
their rivals. Like the savage, they
hurl elegant arrows, ornamented
with feathers of purple and azure,
but with poisoned points.
