a Touching Story.

The Hon. H. Stephens, of Georgia, in an
address at meeting in Alexandria, for the
benefit of the Orphan Asylum and free school
of that city, related the following anecdote
" A little boy in a cold night, with no home
or roof to shelter his head, no paternal or ma
ternal guardian or guide to protect or direct
him on his way, reached at nightfall the house
of rich planter, who took him in, fed, lodged
and sent him on his way with his blessing.
Those kind attentions cheered his heart, and
inspired him with fresh courage to battle with
the obstacles of life. Years rolled round ::
Providence led him on, and he had reached
the legal profession his host had died the
cormorants that prey on the substance of man
had formed conspiracy to get from the wild
ow her estate. She sent for the nearest coun-
sci TO commit her cause to him, and that coun-
sci proved TO be the orphan boy years before
welcomed and entertained by her deceased
husband. The stimulus Of a warm and tena-
cious gratitude was now added to the ordinary
motive connected with the profession. He
undertook his cause with will not SO easily
to be resisted he gained it; the widows es-
tates were secured 10 her in perpetuity; and
Mr.. Stephens added with an emphasis of emo
ton that sent an electric thrill throughout the
house, that orphan boy stands before you.'

The Sight of Birds,

Pigeons find out newly-sown fields immedi-
ately, and will frequently 90 several miles 10
a field the very first morning after it is sown.
Wild ducks, that feed at night, are equally
quick in finding their food and in this case /
would be glad to know what sense they eni-
ploy. The red deer invariably knows when
the shepherds patch of grain is fit for his
food, and will frequently come down in such
numbers as 10 eat up the entire crop in sin
gle night. The carrier-pigeon finds its way
home, take it what distance, and any way,
covered up, you will Toss it up in the air,
and, after circing for few moments, it adopts
It's line of flight, without hesitation, and with
out mistake. Audubon furnishes an instance
of the exercise of this faculty, in his descrip-
ton of the razorbil
The instinct or sagacity which enables
the razorbills, after being scattered in all d.
rections, in quest of food, during the long
night, often at great distances from each other,
to congregate towards morning, previously to
their alighting on spot 10 rest, has appeared
to me truly wonderful, and have been tempt
ed to believe that their place of rendezvous
had been agreed upon the evening before.''
Man probably surpasses birds in extent of
vision, as much as birds surpass man in sharp
ness. Ross, in his voyage 10 Bafin's Bay,
proved that man, under favorable circum
stances, could see over the surface of the sea
one hundred and fifty miles. 1t is no, proba-
BILE that any animal can equal this for extent.
In sharpness of sight, on the other hand, birds
greatly excel US. The eagle, soaring at such
height that he seems mere speck, sees the
grouse walking in the heather, which it so
closely resembles in color as readily TO escape
the sportsman's eye. Schmidt threw to
considerable distance from thrush number
OF beetles, of pale, gray color, which the un-
assisted human eye failed to detect, yet the
bird observed them Immediately Many birds
readily perceive insects OH branches where the
sharPest sighted person could detect nothing

A WoRD TO 3oys.-Did You ever think,
boys, that this great world, with all its wealth
and woe, with all its mines and mountains set
with brllliants, its oceans, seas, and rivers laid
with pearl and gold, its steamboats, and ships,
railroads and steam printing presses, magnetic
telegraphs, ecl., will soon be given over to the
hands of the boys Of the present age. This is
what really awaits you, and you should look
abroad upon yonr inheritance earnestly and
hopefully, and prepared TO enter with stout and
cultivated hearts upon your duties. In after
times let it not be said that you disgraced the
place Of the great men and heroes whose man.
tie is TO descend upon you.

Breaking Colts to Bit and Harness.

Breaking Colts to Bit and Harness.
Much may be done with young horses in the
way of cullivaiing their good manners, and
forwarding their education-or breaking, as it
is usually iermed-before the aid Of the colt
breaker is required. Foals should be accus-
toned to famiiariiies, fondling. and kind usage,
from their birth and if that kind treatment be
continued as they grow up, they will occasion
very little trouble when the time arrives for
them TO be broken. Before that operation is
commenced, it is desirable that bit should be
placed in the young animals mouth. Any
plain snaffle of sufficient substance answers
the purpose. There should not be any reins
attached TO it it should be merely suspended
by the head piece. The colt will thus learn to
play with the bit, which will tend very mate
rally 10 the establishment of good mouth,
care being observed that the bit is suspended
evenly by The proper length Of the head-pece.
This may be adjusted by any quiet, good-tem-
pered person, to whose care The young creature
is entrusted, and may be left on from one 10
two hours daily. A loose box, hovel, or small
yard, is the most suitable place for the purpose.
1t is very bad custom, though very prev
alent one, when a young horse is first bit,ed, to
make use of reins which are drawn tight A
colt-breaker, when employed, should, there
fore, be cautioned against it, for it will cause
the pupil to contract habit of leaning on the
bit, and probably create a one-sded mouth
BY such treatment, many colls-will take
position in one corner of the box or howell, and
there stand and sulk whereas if the Bit be used
as have recommended, they will champ and
play with it freely, thereby producing that
sensibility of mouth which is essential for fu-
ture perfection.
Breaking 10 harness may he considered nec-
essary with snch horses as are adapted for
carriages; and their services after they are
three years old may be advanageously called in
to requsitiun on the farm. Their first introduce
ton should never be noisy, heavy cart. The
plan which | have adopted, with invariable
success, has been TO put the harness on so that
the animal may become quite familiar to it in
the stable, after which have cord attacked
to each trace. The horse is then led out by an
assistant, and another man, with the cords in
his hands, offers slight resistance, as the an
lnal moves forward BY this initiation the
alarm frequently occasioued by the pressure of
the colur against the shoulders is avoided, as
the man who holds the corls can Instantly re-
lax them, if necessary. After two or three
lessons of this kind, neither trouble nor danger
need be apprehendcd in putting the animal to
any employment calculated for the advance
ment Of his education in the art of drawing

Oh Wnse.
I didn't know what it Meant.

He gave me knife one day at school,
-Four bladed, the handle ofpearl--
And great black words on the wrapper said
" For the darlingest little girl"
was glad o yes, yet the crimson blood
To my young cheek came and went,
And my heart thumped wondrously, pit-a-pat,
But didn't know what it meant.
One night he said must jump on his sled,
For the snow was falling fast;
l was half afraid. but he coaxed and coaxed,
And he got me on at last.
Laughing and chatting in merry glee,
To my home his course he bent,
And my sisters looked at each other and smiled,
But didn't know what it meant.
The years passed on, and they touched his eye
With a shadow of deeper blue
They gave to his form a manlier grace
To his cheek a swarthier hue.
We stood by the dreamiIy ripping brook,
When the day was almost spent,
His whispers were soft as the lullaby,
And-noU kno,o sohat it mean. =!

A Touching Incident.

A little girl, in family of nv acquain-
lance, a lovely and precious child, lost her
mother at an age too early to fix the loved
features in her remembrance. She was as
frail as beautiful, and as the bud of her heart
unfolded, h seemed as if won by that mothers
prayers, to turn instinctvely heavenward.-
The sweet. conscientious, prayer-loving child
was the idol of HE bereaved family. She
would lie upon the lap of the friend who took
mothers care of her, and, winding one vast
ed arm about her neck, would say,-'Now tell
me about my mama = And when the oft-told
tale had been repeated, would softly ask
Take me into the parlor, want to see my
mamma. The request was never refused,
and the a6ectionate child would lie for hours,
contentedly gazing on her mothers portrait.
But
pale and wan she grew, and weakly
Bearing all her pains SO meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
AS the trial hour drew nearer"
That hour came at last, and the weeping
neighbors assembled to see the little one die.
The dew OF death was already on the flower
as its life sun was going down. The little
chest heaved INDEPENDENTLY.
Do you know me, darlingl' sobbed close
in her ear the voice that was dearest but il
awoke no answer.
All at once, brightness, as if from the up
per world burst over the child's colorless
countenance. The eyelids flashed open, the
lips parted, the wan, cuddIing hands flew up,
IN the little ones last impuIsive effort, as she
looked piercingly into the far above.
Mother she cried, with surprise and
transport in her tone-and passed with that
breath into her mothers bosom.
Said distinguished divine, who stood BY
that bed of joyous death:
