THE BIRD OF THE ToLLNG BELL.-Among the
highest woods and deepest glens of Brazil, a
sound is sometimes heard, so singular thet the
noise seems quit, unnatural; it is like the distant
and solemn tolling of church bell struck at in
teryals. This extraordinary noise proceeds from
the Arawongo. The bird sits on the tops of the
highest trees in the deepest forests, and though
constantly heard in the most deserted places, it
is very rarely seen. 1t is impossible to conceive
of anything of more solitary character than
the profound silence of the woods, broken only
by the metallic and almost supernatural sound Of
this invisible Bird coming from the air and
seeming to follow wherever you go. The Ara
wongo is white, with circle of red around its
eyes-its size is about that Of small pigeon,
and has beautiful pumage.

AN AFTERNOONS HUNT IN FLoRIDA.-Mr. E
B. Baker writing to the Savannah Georgian
from st. Johns river, Florida, thus describes al
afternoons hunt in that region:
A few weeks since friend and neighbor OF
mine. Capt Samuel Somers, with gun and dog
strolled out, not far from his residence, for q
hunt. His dog pretty soon started, and aftel
following a while, he discovered two halt grown
tigers up tree, which he shot and Killed. Then
looking ahead little further on he perceived
the old tgress also up o tree. 10 use his OWL
expression she looked like cow Being 0
hunter of undaunted spirit, he advanced until
tbe huge creature began crouching, with gleam-
ing ewes and barred teeth, preparing to make 6
spring upon him. At this critical moment hc
discharged his piece, woundng her badly il
the head. She began a hurried descent utterin2
all the while the most awful and terrible
screams he ever heard When within few
feet of the ground, he lodged the contents of Q
second barrel in her back, which ended her fur
ther movements. He describes her screams q:
resembling those of terrified woman, only
much louder and shrller. lie SAID they causet
his hair to stand on end
Having dispatched her he pursued his dog
who was all this time chasing the old male IL
ger He came in sight of him several times but
owing to some disadvantageous circumstance.
he would not shoot, fearing he would only
wound him. and in that case he knew he would
lose his dog, and perhaps his own life. He des
cribes him as being much larger than the ii
gress. As night was fast setting in, he went
home and returned in the morning to take of
the skins of the Slaln.,
Reside them was the bed of the old Tiger
where he had spent the night with his dead
family.

POETRY.
LOtOs.Land

LOtos-Land.
oh land beloved oh land unknown!
Bv what blue Rhine or rapid Rhone,
Or any river man hath known,
Shall arrive at thee?
Or by what mighty trackless seas,
Where the unwearied northern breeze
From dumb and frozen cavern fees
Triumphant, to be free.
Or by what desert red and vast,
Breathing the feveredtropic blast
Shall nv too lingering steps at last
Attain to thy sweet shore?
Oh, plains serenel Oh, rivers rolled
Like babbling dreams o'er sands of goldl
Fair birds that do your pinions fold,
And singing cease to soar
Skies where such slumberous mists are shed!
The heart forgets it ever bled,
And sleep lies on the lonely head,
Forgetting and forgot
There nothing has been or shall be,
But all things are eternaly.
The tired soul may not think nor see
Such quiet rules the spot;
For there is neither hope nor fear,
No hated thing and nothing dear, -.
Nor any troubled atmosphere,
Nor anything but rest.
Such utter sleep, such thoughtlessness,
AS might mortal life redress
And set aside its deadly stress,
From even womans breast.
Oh. land. dear land sweet visioned shore,
That no mans footsteps may explore,
Nor any but fool deplore, -
Yet would slept in thee!
The Jester tires of cap and bells,
The disenchanted laughs at spells, 81
The past all future lies foretells
Dear land, come true for me! A. W. H''

The library must be furnished, and that at
once. So, on Christmas morning messenger
is dispatched to the leading bookstore in Broad

comes clerk from Messrs. A. & Co., with the
latest catalogue of rare and selected works.
'Pshaw,' says our friend, none of your cata'

feet exposed by these bookcases, and let me
know for how much you will fill them? Make
your own selection, but give me good books
The astonished clerk measured and calculates
his authors by the square foot. For eighteen

Curious INVENTION OF SHoT.-Almost every
body has seen shot tower; but perhaps not all
who have seen one knows what is the necessity
of paving so high structure for making shot.
Previous to the year 1882 persons called plumb
ers were the only ones who made shot. The
process was to let the melted lead drop into wa
ter. But in this process the part that first
touched was always hattened About 1882 O
man named Watts, living in Bristol, England,
by trade plumber and SHOEMAKER, was assisted
by his wife in the latter operation. Mrs. Watts
was a woman of some genius, and often reflect
ed upon the subject of devising some means to
make shot more round. 1t was her particular
business to cast the shot, and she experimented
Tor this purpose By dropping the melted lead in
to oil and other liquids besides water; but the
shot were still indented or fiattened on the sides
which first came in contact with the liquids
She retired to bed one night thinking deeply on
the subject of making shot round. In the anx-
/ ious state of her mind her sleep was not sound,
ofcourse She began to dream, and her dream is
thus related by writer in the Scientific Amer
lean:
"She dreamed of going into neighbours shop,
halter by trade, and while talking to him she
heard shot falling, and on asking him If he
made shot, he went out, brought in q handful
and they were perfectly round. In mucl sur
prise she exclaimed, MY God how do you make
them round!' BY dropping them from great
height" said the halter Mrs. Watts awoke I'M
der the exciting discovery, aroused her husband
informed him of her dream, when they both
lres sed themselves aud tried it upon the highest
place on their own premises and found the shot
| rounder than before, but still indented The
next day they tried it from the tower of St
Thomas church, that leans some feet over its
base, when they attained shot rounder than the
home attempt but not yet perfect. The next at
tempt was made in the shaft of a coal mine q
few miles from Bristol, at place called Kings.

pounds, undertook to erect large block o

There is no doubt that Watts or his wife
made this discovery. But the idea, according II
some, belongs to Watts more than his wife. l
