THE HUNTER EAGLE-'We shall not
want for fine game this season" said a
peasant TO bis SOD. "There is fine
eagles nest on the south cliffs. We will
build us little hut beneath it, and have
our scaling,ladders and grapplng-irons
ready by the time the young are hatched.
They shall pay good rent for our rocks"
So they Sc, TO work and built hut, with
a low entrance, where they might watch
the bird, and not fall victims to her fury
should she discover an intruder near her
nest. Then, when she came to feed her
young, they watched until she bad flown
away, and then began Immediately to
ascend the rocks, taking away the choice
game she was sure to provide, and leav-
ing refuse from the markets 10 their place.
The eaglets usually made some
ravaees on the food before they could
reach it but that was little regarded
The table was sump,uously provided for
while the birds were in the nest, and
after they were large enough to fly, they
we're kept still longer in the nest by the
peasants, who fastened them down to it.
Every eyrie was looked upon as clear
gain TO the fortunate owner of the local
ity. But these bold hunters are by no
means pleasant neighbors, especially in
some of the northern islands. Many &C.
counts come to US from the Orkneys, and
adjacent island, of little children being
seized and carried off in their fearful
talons. One distracted mother pursued
the bird who had borne off her babe to
its high nest on cliff, which no one but
a frantic mother could have climbed
But. alas she came to late. She could
only gather the precious form of her
dead child to her bosom, and bear it away
with her Another mother pursued an
eagle for four miles, and climbed to her
nest, from which, by good providence,
she rescued her boy unhurt. The weight
of the child no doubt compelled the bird
to fly slowly, and WEAKNESS made it wait
a little before tearing it to pieces. A
good providence watched over it, and
gave it back iu safety to its mothers arms
Perhaps some similar circumstance was
the foundation of the device of a child
and eagle, which is found on a coin in
the Isle of Man. There was curious
bounty set on eagles in the Orkneys.-
Every man who kills one of them is en-.
titled to hen out of every poultry yard
in the parish where the plunderer lived.

The writer who mentioned these faels

There is no Death.

There is no death The stars so down
To rise upon some farer shore
And brightin Heavens jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
There is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer s5owe
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks dlsorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bearj
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the yiewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry' hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them "dead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene Of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And even near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is life-there is no dead.

Roman populace with the spectacle OF
captive enemies brought from distant
climes, and put to death before the eyes
Of the assembled multitudes. But the
