cUyIER AND THE SWALLOWS.

In his later years the celebrated Cuver loved 10 recount
the incident which first turned his attention to the study of
natural history While young and In want, he was en-
u,ged a. tutor to the children of the Count de Hecy and
with his pups inhabited an old chateau in the Pays du
Cans at Finuainye Cuver's room looked towards the
garden and each morning he accustomed to open his
window and breath the fresh air before commencing The
instruction of his somewhat undisciplined pupils. One
morning he remarked swallows building nest IN The
other onUle of his small easement The male bird brough,
moist clay in his beak, which the hen 1t were, kneaded
together and with the addition of and bits of hay,
formed their future home Once the frame work was COM
ueted both the birds has,ened line the interior with
feathers wool and dried leaves and then taking Hight To-
geher into ueghborng wood they did not return to helr
nest until after the lapse Of several days Meanwhile some
important events had happened. While the two swallows
were so busiy employed in constructing their home, CuV-
or had remarked sparrows perched on neIghoorng
chimney who seemed watch the progress OF affairs win
much curiosity The treacheOus object oil this surveillance
speedily became apparent for no sooner had inc poor swa

remarked that they abSened themselves together

Presently the ensparrow returned, and her husband

certain curious little cries. which might well pass for der

And the nations Of earth shall be one
Though the old Allegheny may tower to heavsa
And the father of waters divide,
The links Of our destiny cannot be riven
while the truth of these words shall abide
Then oh let them glow on each helmet and brand
Though cur blood like rivers shall run,
Divide as we may in our own native land
To the rest of the world we arc one
Then up with our hag-let it stream on the air.
Though our fathers cold in their graves
They had hands that could strke-hey had souls that couC

EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE.-A Mr.. Hopkins, o
Lowndes county, Mississippi, aged ffty-sx, recently
married Miss Matthews, aged about thirty five
What renders this alliance so extraordinary is, thai
both parties are so afflicted with rheumatism ina,
neither has walked step in twenty-five years. and
reason assigned by Mr.. Hopkins for marrying Miss
Matthews is, ",hat some two years ago he married
woman that could walk, and she ran off with stage
driver and he wanted wife that he was certain could
not get off.
