A Word for the Birds

The readers of the Country Gentleman do
not. | trust, need to be told that the birds are
among the farmers best friends cut the full
value Of their la5ors may not be realized by
all.
Wilson, the ornitho!osist, computes that
each red winged black bird destroys on an
average fifty grubs day during the summer
A few figures will show you how many this
would amount to in the course Of the season.
The robin. the wood thrush, the woodpeck-
er and many other birds are equally useful
The folly of killing them is equalled only by
its wckedness.
While toeing in my garden the other day.
I observed small bird alight near low of
cabbagcs. He commenced at one end of the
row, and max ing the enlire circuit Of every
plant and examining carefully the under sur
face Of every leaf, went through to the other
end. His search was not unsuccessful for
he found and devoured worms or Other Insects
from almost every plant. Now, no gold could
buy the service. which the scores of these
winged assistants that labor so diligently for
me, perform SO cllectual'y without money and
without price: giving me sweet songs with
out number IN addition. Readers, encourage
the bilds ID. Ii j., Mumoroneck, N. Y.

EDUCATION IN TURKEY. quite progress
Slvc step has been taken by the Sultan OF
Turkey. lie has ordered reorganization OF
the Turkish Sc hools, and that provision be

u, Public Instruction, some time back, pre-.
scented to the Sultan complete system OF

European establishments. Turkish girls
will not only learn all the works executed
with the needle, but reading, writing
arithmetic, geography, and history. In each
of the thirteen sections of the Turkish capital,
six primary schools are to BE- established at
once: and at later period, one superior
eStabl 'hment in each section, to complete the

From the Louisville journal. |
Shadows on the Wall.
BY T. HEMPSTEAD.

There Is a weird and wonderful beauty in
these lines--a poetcal truthfulness ofpainting
seldom equaled,
When evening through the silent room,
Crccps with her pcnsive weight of gloom
And Lamps are lighted in the hall,
And shadows dance from wall to wall;
Our little one it'll curious eyes,
With look half joy and half surprise,
Pursucs the phantoms as they chase
Each other in the airy race
Strange, goblin shaped, fantastic things,
Grim vampires with broad, iron wings,
Ghosts of unhappy men that go
To prison i'll the realms below;
Huge ghouls and wolves with famine gaunt,
And ships with their tail masts asiant
In the blue ice that rims the shore
OF Greenland Or wild Labrador.
AS each dark, unsubstantia shape
Tries some liie-breathing form to ape.
She seems to think all things that please
The eye, her little hand may seize.
She never has been taught to know
How much Of human life is show,
Nor what the difference may be
'TwiXt substance and reality.
Upon her head the lamp-bcams fall,
Shoot past and tremble on the wall,
And there an ebon image stands
Sculptnred in air by fairy hands.
Joy thrills her frame, her baby laugh
Comes like the laugh of rilis that quaff
The life of the wild hills, then flee
In silver clariots to the sea;
Forward she leans with eager eyes
In which a world of wonder lies,
Her tender hands are stretched to clasp
The phantom that eludcs her grasp.
But she is not alone; the eyes
On which the film Of seventy lies,
Pursue the shadows here aud there,
And hands are stretched to clasp the air!

out of the opera house. when thief snatchcd

Upon her return home. she found the ring
lying in the tresses Of her hair. The man
was tried for stealing this ring. and being
found guilty by the jury, the opinion of The
judges was taken whether this could he con.
Sidrrcd sufficient taking: The opinion of,hc
Judges was afterwards delivered, lin which
they held. that as tie ring had been entirely
removed from the lady $ car, and was wholly
in the possession OF the prisoner. although
or an instant of time when he lost it in ner

thief led a horse from one part of a field to
another, intending to steal il. but was appre-
