Instinct Of Horses.

A gentleman hired a horse in Jackson
vile, H., to go to a place in the sonth-
ern part of the county where he had
never been before. While there the horse
escaped and it was supposed he had re-
turned to Jacksonville, where he had
been owned for years, but no trace Of him
could be found in that direction. He
was instead bound for a place where he
was foaled, in the southern part of the
State where he had not been for several
years and where be was recovered some
time after when it was asc~ertained that,
guided by his instinct, he had traversed the
state, taking almost a bee line for his old
home. A gentleman in Tennessee purch-
ased a horse and took him by a route of
one hundred and fifty miles over noun
tains and rivers. The next morning he
was gone, and in a few days it was ascer.
tanned that he had returned to his old
home that night, reaching there by day.
light. He had taken a straight course
across the country in the darkness of the
night, swimming rivers and crossing
mountains, travelling a distance Of sixty
or seventy miles, and showing great
fatigue on his arrival.

The Hair of the Presidents.

In the Patent Office at Washington.
there are many objects of interests, con
nected with the government and those
who administered its affairs in times gone
by. While examining some of these OBJ
,iects Of curiosity, when in Washington in
December last, there was nothing that
struck US so forcibly as the samples or
small locks Of hair, taken from tho heads
Of different chief magistrates, from
Washington down to Pierce, secured in a
frame covered with glass. Here is in
fact a parcel of what once constituted
the living body Of those illustrioas indi-
viduals whose names are as familiar as
household words, but who now live only
in history and remembrance of the past.
The hair Of Washington is nearly a
pure white, fine and smooth in appear
ance.
The hair Of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps a little
coarser.
The hair Of Jefferson is of a different
character, being a mixture Of white and
auburn or a sandy brown, and rather
coarse. In his youth Mr.. Jefferson's hair
was remarkable for its color.
The hair of Madison is coarse, and of a
mixed white and dark.
The hair Of Monroe is a handsome dark
auburn, smooth and free from any admix-
ture whatever. He is the only President,
excepting Pierce, whose hair had under
gone no change in color.
The hair Of John Q. Adams is some
what peculiar, being coarse, and Of a
yellowish gray color.
The hair Of General jackson is almost
a perfect white, but coarse in its charac
ter, as might be supposed by those who
have examined the portraits Of the old
hero.
The hair of Van Buren, is white and
smooth in appearance.
The hair Of General Harrison is a fine
white, with a slight admixture of black.
The hair of John Tyler is a mixture of
white and brown.
The hair of Willard Fillmore, on the
other hand, brown with a slight admix-
ture Of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce, is Of a
dark brown, Of which he has a plentiful
crop.

Where Canary Birds Come From.

There is an association in Philadelphia,
composed of about thirty Germans. who
aim atimproving the breed OIL canary bird;
and last month they published their 18th
annual report. From that it appears that
the bird sales of Philadelphia are confn-
ed to Germans. and amount to $4,000
annually, and three-quarters of that are
canaries. The common or original cana.
~ is of the least value. and sells at about
So apiece; the improved kinds bring from
So to $40 apiece, and are from Central
Europe. The great majority of these
birds were obtained in Belgium, where
they are bred in the houses bys the peas
ants who raise them as a pastime. They
are what are called long and short breeds.
Birds of the long breed are procured from
Brussels. Antwerp and Dietz, where they
sometimes obtain extravagant prices
Their cost depends upon the color and
shape, the pure golden yellow being the
most esteemed. They are only used for
the purpose of breeding, and often sell for
$50 a pair. The short breed is raised by
the people Of the Hartz mountains. Next
to the Belgian, the French bird is most
priced.

Power Of a Boa Constructor.

His mode of attack gave me an insight
into the method by which this species OF
snake destroys animals. The teeth Of the
boa constructor being long. bent, and
turned back, something in a fish hook
shape, the snakes dart out and seize hold
of their prey. Then drawing their heads
back again, they pull the animal to the
ground at once. and coiling around it,
commence the crushing process. This
power of squeezing must be enormous
On attempting to skin this animal, the
muscles inside had the appearance of
strings of ropes extending from the head
to the tail; these he seemed to have the
power of contracting or extending so that
a part that might be three feet long as he
Fcoiled himself around your body, could
be instantly reduced to about a foot, by
this means giving any one in his embrace
a very tolerable squeeze. I have before
remarked that these snakes are not con
sidered dangerous to man, as they are not
poisonous: and if those attacked, had a
sharp knife and managed to keep their
arms free, Mr.. Snake would get the worst
Of it. IF one happened, however, to be
asleep, and a boa constructor then became
familiar, he might so have wound himself
round arms and body as to prevent a
knife from being used. I have no doubt
that they have power sufficient to crush
any man to death in a very few seconds,
did they once get themselves comfortably
settled around his ribs; but [ never
heard Of such a case during my residence
at Natal, although I made every inquiry
from the Kafirs. Formerly there was a
great deal Of superstition among the KAT
frs with regard to this snake, and a per-
son who killed one had to go through a
quarantine of purifying; now, however.
the Kaffrs do not seem to care much
about them. / saw an old fellow near
the Umbilo river pinning a large boa con-
~strictor to the ground with several ASA
gies to prevent its wriggling: he had
about a dozen different ones stuck into his
body. and seemed to think a few more
would do no harm. He told me that the
snake was a great rascal, and had killed
a calf of his some time before; that he
had long watched the opportunity of
catching it out of its hole, and at last
found it so, when a smart race of some
yards ended in the Kafir assagying the
veal eater.

Never Get Angry.

LITTLE BY LITTLE.

" Little by little" an acorn said,
As it slowly sank in its messy bed;
81 am improving every day.
Hidden deep in the earth away
Little by little each day it grew;
Ii tie by little it slipped the dew;
Downward it sent out a thread-like root;
Up in the air sprung a tiny shoot,
Day after day, and year after year,
Little by little. the leaves appear;
And the slender branches spread far and wide
Till the mighty oak is the forests pride.
Far down in the depths of the dark blue sea,
An insect train works ceaselessly;
Grain by grain, they are building well,
Each one alone in its little cell,
Moment by moment, and day by day,
Never stopping to rest, or to play.
Rocks upon rocks, they are rearing high
TIL the top looks out on the sunny sky,
The gentle wind and the balmy air,
Little by little bring verdue there;
Till the summer sunbeams gaily smile
On the buds and the lowers of the coral isle.
Little by little" said a thoughtful boy,
Moment by moment I'll we'll employ.
Learning a little every day,
And not spending all my time in play,
And still this rlle i my mind shall dwell,
Whatever | do, | will do it well.
Little by little, I'll learn to know
The treasured wisdomsof long ago;
And one of these days, perhaps well see
That the world will be the better for me;
And do you not think that this simple plan
Made him a wise and a useful man2

The Poor Boy.

Don't be ashamed, my lad, if you have
a patch on your elbow. 1t is no mark Of
disgrace. 1t speaks well for your indus
trious mother. For our part, we would
rather see a dozen patches on your jacket
than hear one p~rofane or vulgar word es-
cape from your lips. No good boy will
shun you because you cannot dress as
we'll as your companions; and if a boy
sometimes laughs at your appearance, say
nothing. my good lad, but work on. We
know many rich and good men who were
once poor and f~riendless boys; and if you
are poor and upright, you will be re-
spected a great deal more than if you
were the son Of a rich man, and addicted
to bad habits.

dread lest time should efface them. There

powerful echoes of the memory; there is

out with the senses, and ID which perish

which lives over, at the same instant.

A cherub babe lies sleeping.
Sweet in her cradle bed,
And halmv snmmar hreezas

Sweet in her cradle bed,
And balmy summer breezes,
Played around her golden head.
A bright, a glorious picture,
Of innocence and love,
This little white-winsed seraph,
Fresh from her home above.
Her brow has snowy whiteness,
Her neck has swan-like grace,
And tossed by dancing breezes,
The curls fit Ger her face.
One white dimpled finger,
Soft clasps her rosy cheek,
Where days last fushes linger,
As if a kiss to seek.
She is the fairest blossom,
In summers regal crown,
And purer than the DEVELOPS,
That night-winds scatter down.
o! may she eer be pillowed,
As softly sweet, as now,
And care-lines never wither,
The lilies on her brow.
Her life, be one bright day-dream,
Sweet as an angels tune,
sAnd lovely as the roses,
That bind the brow of June.
Pure as the falling snow fake,
That dots the winter air,
Bright angels ever keep her,
This little rosebud fair. AEon1.

HEAVEN AS a HOME.

M "E
love to think of heaven
As a country fair and bright,
It's inhabitants all radiant
Inrobes of spotless white;
/ love to sketch its beauties
as far as | can trace
Its smile of rapture beaming
On every joy-lit face.
But oh! it seems more beautiful.
To those who weary roam,
To contemplate the happy thought
That heaven is a home.
Ills beauteous as a city,
Whose riches are untold,
Whose gates are made of solid pearl.
Whose streets are paved with gold.
With wondrous glory sbi ing,
More than we dream of now.
Where victor wreaths are twining
To bind upon the brow.
@ But oh! it suits the wanderer,
Around whom pillows foam.
To dwell upon the blessed thought
That heaven is a home.
The homes of earth are beautiful,
When sanctifed by grace,
But that one will be brighter still
Before our Fathers face.
There Will be no more parting,
No signing, and no care,
No fading of the blooming check,
That oft awakes our fear:
No vacant seats, no sorrow,
No pain. no trial there
A home with all its pleasures,
A home without its care.
Yes! / love to think of heaven
As a place of glory bright,
Its jeweled walls are brilliant
With foods of living light,
Its crowns of honor shining
On brows that know no care,
Its thrilling music streaming
From every harp string there.
But oh! methinks that DER the thought
A nameless charmis thrown,
That twines ia beauty round the heart,
That heaven is a home!

When / laugh and when | cry
God is ever watching nigh.
When I'm quiet, when I'm rude,
Whom I'm naughty, when I'm good
When I'm happy, when I'm sad,
When I'm sorry, when I'm glad;
When ! pluck the scented rose,
That in my neat garden grows;
When | crush the tiny fly
God is watching from the sky.
When the sun gives heat and light,
When the stars are twinkling bright;
When the moon shines on my bed
God still watches DER my head
Night or day, at church or fair
God is ever, ever near,
Kindly guiding lest / stray,
Pointing to the happy way.
