A Profound Thinker.


a good kind heart had Jack Startling, d
free and easy fellow, when ashore, and q har'
dy. wcll.behayed sailor when on the ocean
wave.
Jack had a maiden aunt, Who carcssed him
Whenever he returned from voyage, and
listened With eager car to his long yarns,
and. received with many thanks the little
presents which from time TO time he brought
from distant lands. She occupied pretty
cottage IN the suburbs Of the good city Of Sa-
lem, and in the absence of her pet nephew,
occupied most Of her time with her pet cot
and pst canaries.
On certain time when Jack Startling was
about t. sail for Honduras, she onjoined It
upon him to ic'eh her Pdrot on his return,
and Jack, az in duty bound. promised TO do
40, II was not, however, until the good
ship, having made Il successful voyage was
entering the harbor Of S.!om, on his return,
that Jack thought Of the parrot.
What was to be done Ills aunt was cN-
pccting his return aud expecting the parrot.
ltis resolution wns formed. lie would pur-
chase parrot and thus redeem his promise.
But after the most dlligent enquiry no par
ro, could be found in the city Of Salem. But
fortunately, in hiSrcscorohcs, he came across
and purchased a.tamc Owl, which he pre-
ssntcd TO his aunt, assuring her that 1t was u
very rare species OF parrot, seldom to be oh
tuned, and which il had cost him world Of
trouble TO procure,
tl,.,. ia nd
with q profusion OF thanks, she received the
rare bird from the happy sailor, and installed
it among her other pets
Tor a time She attributed tho sIicnee OF
the parrot TO boshfulncss. "lle will talk
thought she, "aNer ho gets ocquaintcd."-
But after a sufficient probation, as she
thought, she complained 10 her nephew that
the parrot would not talk.
"Oh," sarrHS;"rhis parrot never talks, but
he is a mosrproJ found thinker"
