WINTER QUABTKRS.

Novemb?r chill blaws load wi' angry sugh," reminding T. T. of "tho wrathful winter hast'ni tig on apace," and tho necessity of his looking about nim, like a good general, to soe how and where his grand army of readers are encamped. II be were a rich, or powerful, general, they should all have the *nu.gest and cwiest of quarters, and every reasonable requisition they might make on tho great Quartermaster above should boar his willing endorsement— "approved, T. T." Unfortunately he is not either rich or poweiful. His influence at Head quarters is, he regrets to say, small indeed. His own requisitions for "supplies" arc seemingly but little regarded his endorsement of the requisition of any body else would scarcely strengthen it. He will have to submit to the pain of knowing that many of lils comrade*, and thoes not the least deserving, are going through tho campaign on half rations and without overcoats. Ho will know that they are marching with bleeding feet—wounded, sore, and without shelter, for such are the fortunes of war but when he meets one on whom the hand of misfortune rests b»avily, he will as he Is a man and a christian, greet him like a man and uot like a dog, and send him away filled though it be only with "hard-tack snu sow-belly."

To the rich and well to do, Winter is a delightful season. When one's winterquarters are made the scene of parties and balls of pleasant family gatherings around the home fireside of Thanksgiving dinners ofChristooas trees, aud turkeys, sod holiday rejoicing of good warm clothes, and wholesome food, and MI abundance of both of playful caperlugs of happy children of romp and song and cheerful story of long, pleasant eveulugs and comfort, happiness and health oontinually then the battle of life seem a very brave and besuttful thing.

But when the winter-quarters are a hovel, and Want and Despair alt at your tireless hearthstone when the pitiless winds of boaven rave and shriek about your rotten roof, and the drifting snow iaalited in at every crevice when the vary marrow in your bones la chilled with the bitter cold, and the pang* of hunger are tearing you to pieces when yonr sick and suffering child is moaning tor bread which you are unable to give U, and you sit in the dark, holding Its thin band in ynurs and praying In your great agony that you both may die when you have sought for work tot daft and days in vain and bean sruelly, la* humanly repulsed when you would have begged for bread when you have been Insulted, mocked at, spurned, at one door after another, and have returned to your kennel with despair in your fttoe and murder In your heart then you will have tasted more than the bitterness of death, and realised something of the Immense difference thai exists between the winterqaartsrs of the rich and the winter-quarters of the poor.

There aro those whoee winter-quarters will be the alme-heuse, the hospital or the prison—quarters which some shall only leave when they are borne by oarelsss hand* feet foremost to the grave. There are lonely winter-quarters unblessed by childish prattle or gentle womanly presence, where old bachelors like T. T. sit solitary amid cebwebe and dirt and dream of abetter time coming, when peace and plenty shall smile again oo all the land, end every man shall obeerfaUy regard the obligations of an universal brotherhood. In that good time men will not wail for distress to present Itself at their gatea. They will go abroad and search for It. They will go into squalid streets and alleys where penury and the police now bare driven the heusslans, homeless poor and when they have found what they seek, will relieve it

promptly

beet th can.

Then, and then only, will men whoee lot la life is ewy. have earned the right to folly eigoy their own snug winter* quarters.

ON THE SEA SHORE.' V-*% 1/tt the dead past bury itadead."

It is related of William M. Tweed, the escaped convict, that when he and Hunt reached the ihore of Cuba, in tber flight from justice, they spent the first night on the seashore, Tweed sitting up with an umbrella over his head the whole night, anxiously waiting for the coming dawn. One can imagine some of the bitter reflections that chased themselves through the "boss" thief's mind during that long night. Doubtless his thoughts passed swiftly over his whole past lifV»f bringing to his mitd in their order the first humble beginning, the departure from the path of honesty, the increasing wealth and power, the glitter and blaze of the last giddy height aud then the sudden and terrible catastrophe. What a life! There is in it ample materials for the construction of a tale as wonderful and much more real than any con tained in the "Arabian Nights." It seems commonplace to usofthe present, as present things always do, but how Tweed's career will seem generations from now gleamed from the pages of history!

We all sit sometimes like Tweed on the seashore looking anxiously to the future and regretfully to the past. We too are convicts, vainly endeavoring to escape from tae recollection ot our past mistakes and lollies. Into tho future we cannot see. All there is dark night with no ray of coming dawn. The past is clear—too clear, alas! Too easily we can retrace our steps and see the many blunders we have made. Here and there aro the decisive turning-points where we left the right road and took the wrong one. At some of these places we stood long, doubtful aud hesitating unable to make the yhoice and at last it was a foolish one. At others we passed ou almost carelessly, not dreaming that wo were doing anything important even Yet they were occasions of great moment, tho effects of which will mark all our future lite. The steps we took seemed then tho evident matter-of-fact thing to do. How vastly different they appear now in the light of the present. It may have been the choice of a profession, or the going to or leaving a place, or tbe buying or not buying a certain property, or our marriage, or some other thiug. But be it what may, it is something in each one of our lives that we see now so clearly and so easily what a mistake it was that we wonder how wo evor could have committed it. Ah, if we could only see before as behind, then would we be wise indeed! As it is, we aro not so wise after all, for doubtless we go on making similar mistakes and committing similar blunders to those we made long ago.

How do we know so certainly we blundered May we not be as greatly mistaken now as we think we were then? We see Indeed what has resulted but can we ses wbst would have resulted had we done otherwise than we did There are many contingencies in life. Sometimes a single word or act costs or makes a man his fortune. Often when we have done what everyone regards as very wise and proper thing it turns out to have been tbe most foolish and harms InsVead of belpe us. Say what you will there is a great deal of luck in this world. Many a man is rich on aecount of having blundered aocl dentally Into a good thing years ago. People give him credit for greet shrewdness when in foot be wss not shrewd at all. He didttt know what be was doing any more than the biggest booby In tbe town never thought of the railroad running tfafough his patch o* ground, of tbe town's suddenly sprsedlng out in that direction or of bis land becoming fr.-m fifty dollars an acre worth five thous ind dollars a town lot. Half tbe rich men in every city are petrified old fellows who stumbled Into some invertment fifty years sgo whioh brought thsm their fortune and no fool io tbe town but might have done it Just as well ss they. Doubtless they pique themselves on the superior foresight which enabled them to make such a judicious investment and others echo tbe refrain: but In real truth tbe man who bad ten timee as much sagacity as they, snd used it ss well as be knew bow, may be a poor devil still. There is such thing ss superior boldne si ability of coarse, but no man living can look into the kaleideeoopeof modern progress In its myrisd forms and say what arrangement the elements will next essoins. It Is all guess work at last. "Let the dead past bury its dead." Oar businsss Is not with It. When a mmn has don* the best be knew bow be should be too much of Spartan to regret his act, let It seem bow foalieh It may afterwards. Besides he will never be wise enough to say whether It was foolish or not. It Is idle to repine over the pest. It is boyond our reach for evil or for good and should be dead, wave tbe pleasant recollection* it may contain* Ijei these be treasured In tbe memory ss beautiful pictures, worthy to be pre­|take

served

and ectfoyed. Bat for lament­

ing the fancied mistakes and errors of

the past, there is much more profitable business on hand. Belter sail off, like Tweed, on the first boat, If only to bo recaptured, than sit on the spashore bewailing what it is too late ever to mend. The days behind us are gone, those before us may never oouie, the day that is with us is all there is of life. Let our wisdom be concentrated into its use and enjoyment. =1,

STRUGGLE FOIt LIFE.

Thero appeared to be no way of escape for the old Indian and his young companion. The savages upon tbe rirer were rapidly advancing armed with rifles, while tho party from the land were flourishing their tomahawks in the wildest and mo*t terrible manner.

Phil *nd Mugwa drew themselves back into tbe clustering willows and stood silent for a second or two, but that was ail it took not longer for them to see that what was to be done must be done quickly.

Tbe Bear Slayer glanced at both parties, then in a rapid whisper said: Shoot quick take first Wyandot in boat!"

With these words he leveied his sun and fired. Phil did the same, and then both caught up the guns tbst bad Deen foUnd in the little barks, and turned to meet tbe enemy rushing down the bank, but tbey had suddenly dissppesred. "LOOK," said Phil, a moment later, "both tbe warriors hsve gone down into tbe water. The canoe la ompty and floating away."

No more trouble from them," said Mugwa, "but the snskes skulking close by will be soon burling their tomsbawks at us, if we stsnd here. We must take to the river, quick."

The two canoes were shovsd out, instantly mounted, and rowed into tbe cur*ent of tbe stresm. "Sbsll we mske for tbe other sbors 7" asked the boy.

No," wss the qulot answer, "pull down stream We must get away from tbe Wysndote before ve take to our feet."

This conversation was ae rapid sa words could be spoken, and both plied fall strength to the peddlee. The canoes shot away, aided by tbe current, line things of life.

The savages now appeared upon the shore with howls of murderous rage. Tbey ran with the apeed of a mustang along the margin, half screened by tbe bushes, until they bed gained a point In advance of the SUawanoe and the paleface lad, and enrwed to deaperetion, two plunged Into the water, and made for the escaping party.

Again tbe rifle shots rsng out sliarp andloud, and two more of the Wyandot warriors ssnk to riss no more.

Will the others be likely to follow?" asked Phil, anxiously. No," was the reply, "they will be shy of us."

The boy felt a comfort in tbls, for be had no taste for bloodshed Indeed, he regretted having to lift his gun sgsinst any creature lu human form, and would not under any circumstances, but where the preservation of his own life forced him to it. He knew that tbe savsoes whom tbey bad met would have killed tdm In oold blood could tbey have done eo, and another thought brought relief to the troubled heart. Had he mUtveng ed the death of Untie Lewie

Tbey glided quietly down the river for half an hour, and bad about determined to take to tbe bank and make tbeir way homeward, when Pbil suddenly cried out:

Look, there tbey ere coming!" Tbe old Indisn turned quicklv, snd rare enough, not twenty rods behind came tbe two remaining Wyandota, In tbe canoe that had been so su denly re lleved of tbeir comrades at tbe beginning of the engagement.

They have guns." remarked the old Bear Slayer, afters mntn«nt\i watchina^ "the rriors ws sent into the water did not take their riflt along."

Tbey are gaining upon tw every mlntbe ute,1' ssid Isd, sppying all his strength totbs paddle.

r?

I "Hi

came nearer ani nearer. The gain was not rapid, but so that it cottld be plainly seen that the distance between them continually grew less.

At

last

Mugwa, who w»? a little in

advance, laid down his paddle and told Phil to draw up alonirside and get in with bitn. The boy did as directed, and transferring the guns, furs and effects, the old Indian drove bis tomahawk through tho bark his companion had deserted, and left it to till-with water, while the two put their united efforts upon one canoe.

It appeared that the pursurers either had abetter craft or were more efficient in the management of it than themselves, for still they gained.

We cannot escapo by means of the paddles," said our hero, -after five minutes' hard work. "You will have to outwit tbem in some way, Mugwa."

Tbe old Indian made no reply, hut kept an eye upon the enemy. Presently he changed his position, left tbe running of the boat to to Phil, and took up bis rifle, which he bad already carefully loaded.

The Wyandots, it appeared, saw this move, and both dropped out of sight, lying down in their canoe snd rowing with no farther exposure of person than tbeir bands.

Tbe boy rowed as fast as he could, at tbe same time keeping watch of tho pursuers but with sll bis efforts be could not prevent tbe distance between himself and the enemy being gradually lessened, although the latter were pad dling at something ot a disadvantage, trom their prostrate positions.

Mstters had taken a serious turn. Tbe Wysndots were srtful, determined and revengeful, and evidently bent on recovering their property and killing tbe Intruders.

The Bear Slayer saw it all and became sullenly silent. Phil's questions or anxious suggestions were only answered with a fierce hi»t, and soon be learned tbat it would be better to remain passive, snd let the old Indisn deal with his kind ss he thought best.

Mugwa held bis nfie ready for Instant use, and bis sunken black eye bent until ovingly upon the nue, now not more than a bdndred yards distant.

For fully ten minutes thsre wss no further signs of life in the little bark behind tbem, ssve tbe moving of paddles, than if tbe thing had been but a floating lofu but Anally a dark obiect roae up slowly and appeared in full view above tbe prow. "Shoot," whispered Phil, "row's the time."

Mugwa moved uot a muasle. Therues was uot sufficiently well performed to fool bim snd drew bis fire, and the hoy, a moment later, saw that the thing lifted up was not a real hsad.

Tbe object disappeared, and our fHenda were wondering what would come next, when tbe barrel of a gun moving out over the end of the canoe. Mugwa lifted his rifle to his shoulder, Phil raised his paddle so as to ksep the bark steady, and both sat breathlessly waiting.

The time of suspense was of short duration. A real bead darted up, and at the same Instant aMass of firs stream* ed from the mussls of Mugwa's gun. »from the

A cloud of smoke aroas my's canoe, and a ball wblatled cloee by our hero's bead.

Iid you hit him, Mugwa?" asked Phil, anxiously, In spite of bhe warnings to keep quiet.

May be not," wss the answer, as the old Indisn quickly Isid down his own gun snd took up another.

Tbe youth turned to bis paddle sgsln, while his oompsnlon sat as bsfore, on guard.

They soon noticed that there was no movement on tbe part of the enemy to follow, in tact that tbe paddle need waa working up stresm, instead of down. Five minutes passed tbe distance between them waa nearly doubled, and suddenly a single Wyandot arose to a sitting posture, and began rowing tbe other way with all hia power.

Tbe distance bad become too grast to warrant a shot, besides, tbe shadows of tbe evening were rapidly settling over tbe river.

Mugwa laid down Ms gun, and taking a puddle, told Phil to give pursuit. The little craft shot up stream as fast ss it cuuld msde to go, and in turn

Snly

lned upon the retreating foe. Sad* a heavy dark object wss rolled from tb» "vaodot canoe into the river.

The old BNir Slayer put his finger up to his forehead with a atgnliicant grunt*

Price Five Cents

Phil nodded, "and said: "Yes, took bun square in the head. I thought he •VHS foolish all tbe time, to try and set the better of you."

Only one left, and we must give him a hot cnase," answered Mugwa, with extra exertions upon his paddle.

The retreating

ft

ie was evidently fright­

ened, for an Indian will only part with the body of a doad companion to save his own life.

The two against one gained on the Wyanaot, who saw that his cbannes for escape would be rather slim if he kept to the river. Suddenly his boat was turned shoreward, and be pulled for dear life. Reaching tbe bank, with a terrific yell he sprang from the bark, and disappeared in tbe forest.

Feeling certain tbat they would see 110 more of the last Wyandot of the six, Mugwa rowed up to the deserted cauoe, and selecting from that and their own snch thintrs as they wished to keep, continued their journey

Phil took tue great bearskin tbst had bolonged to Uncle Lewie. The scalp he could not identify, so he cast it away in horror.

Altera few days' uneventful tramps the hunters retiched tbe Shawauoe village heavily loaded with booty. Phil was glad to get back into camp, for be did not dream of the trouble that tho ftiture^eld in store lor him there. .fJJ

CHAPTERX. DOOMED TO DIK.

The winter passed away and summer came again, and Phil had been with the Shawanoes for fully a year. His clothea were outgrown and worn, so that he was obliged to cast them off and array himself in buckskin, but through the kindness of Dove Wing, tbe Indian maiden who made his garments, he bad them to conform as much as possible to tbe border style of civilized men.

The long winter months tbst bsd passed away were in most part dreary and unsatisfactory to the boy. The hear skin, which was kept sacred, brought »ad recollections of the past, and over and over again Phil asked of himself,

Is Uncle Lewis dead If so, will I ever know who I am, who my father and •nother are, and why I was made a foundling? There was some terrible secretin the noble heart of Uncle Lewis, I know, some cause for his life of seclusion, or he would never have Leen a hunter and a trapper, with all bis Intellectual refinement."

Thus tbe captive boy lay and soliloquized many and many a night, until slumber came to hia relief and carried him away into dreamland, and held him there to the beginning of another day.

Phil had grown tall, and his athletic exercises had developed his muscular frame until not au Indian lad of hia age .'-ould match bim in tests of skill and strength.

One competitor for the laurels of tbe town was there, however, but this one was some two years the senior of our hero.

Wolf Tooth, a young Miami who had come to remain with tbe Shawanoes, felt prond of his athletic accomplishments, and challenged Phil to many trials of strength and enduranoe.

Our hero nad won in tbe shooting of a rifle and acrobatic exercises, while the lpped the pslein the foot raoe and in jumping.

Wolf Tooth was a great admirer of Dove Wing, but the blithe maiden cared nothing for him, while she showed a warm affection for Phil. The Miami felt jealous of this preference, snd determined to vanquish the youth at al! hasards.

He sought the girl and said to her: Why do you smile so tenderly upon 1 he pale face, when he is not so great of 1»lood as the men of tbe forest. Am not I grester thsn such a boy

Dove Wing answered witfc an earnestness that could not be mistsken: "My psleface brother hss not seen so many seasons sa Wolf Tooth, snd yet he has shown himself equal to the Miami, who oounta himself very great. Whenyou bow yourself greater, then Dove wing will look upon yon with favor."

I can leave tne paleface behind In the chase, can leap over streams that he has to step into," said tbe Miami, proudly. "The pale-faoe can send a bullet to tbe heart of the beast or the eye of the bird, as you oannot, and can go to tbe top of a tree while Wolf Tooth would olamber among the lower limbs," answered the maiden, quickly,

Wolf Tooth can send an arrow better than pale-face," the Miami added. That la what you say. My brother doea not use big words of what bs can do, but he has never refused to meet yon in any came." ''Will be cast the arrow with me?" "irI might speak for bim, I should say he will."

If the pale-feoe is no match for me, then shall I have the flavor of Dove Wing?"

The girl thought a moment, and replied "A rabbit shall be set free, and the bote* shall be sprung while it is running awsy. and the arrow round nearest its heart ahall tell who is to be looked upon with great ter fsvor by Dove Wing." "Go now to the weak pale-fees and see if bo will be breve enough to do as you say," aaid Wolf Tooth, ooldly.

Tbe maiden did as directed, but ehe moved sway with such an air of dignity that the Miami looked upon her wltn greater admiration than ever before.

Pbil was given tbe challenge and willingly accepted, for he bad Deen thoroughly drilled as sn archer while at the oabin of Uncle Lewis.

Tbe next day the match took place. A rabbit that had been captured waa plaoed at a distance of twenty paces to be let loose when the contestants were ready, and tho shots were to be made while tbe little animal wss on tbe mn.

Phil and Wolf Tooth appeared with tbeir bows, and took tbeir stations. A quiver of arrows was presented, and tbe Miami claiming flint choice, Phil stepped back and let him select. a AC. »_ 1 a ai_i
