EAGLEs IN IREIAND.-The Dublin Express tells
the following tower true tale'
For the last ten years William Pike, ESQ. of
Glendarary, Achill, has had a golden eagle
which he got before it was fully fedged, and
which is considered one of the finest specimens
in the kingdom, perfect in plumage, and quite
tame. 1t is kept in a large cage, made of wire
about the thickness of sheep-fencing For more
than year past two wild eagles of the same
species have trequented the mountain over bis
house. They have on several occasions alighted
on the cage Of the tame eagle and also on the
top Of the house. They are not in the least
shy, and, as no one is permitted to molest them
they seem quite at home. Last week one a.
them broke through into the cage of the tf%o
eagle, where he remained for a few minu'-s "a
got out again. On Friday the 2lst, h,e, brols IL
again, when some of the workmen stained bis
means of exit, which seemed 10 astopisb bin,'no
little He wasla splendid bird with a sprs~a a E
wing OF apparently over eight feet. After keep
ing him half an hour, Mr.. Pike opened the
cage door and let him out At first he did not
fly as he seemed out of breath with his exertions
but allowed himself to be driven fifty yards. to a
rising ground, where he took wing Instead
however, of flying off at oncehe remained poised
over the cage, but at great hight, for ten min
utes. These eagles build in the cliffs of Dooe-
ga four miles off, in the face Of the precipice,
which is about one thousand feet high and per-
pendlcular. Inc tame eagle seems to be the at
traction; the wild ones remain in sight about
four hours each day. They chiefly prey upon
hares, which are abundant in the locality. Their
mode Of pursuing them is curious. They al
ways hunt in couples, and when once the hare
is started one poises itself in the air to mark
the game, while the other twists and turns
about, like greyhound, within few yards of
the ground. If by any chance the pursuer
loses sight of the prey he at poises, and the
other takes up the running and so on till they

The Snow at Fredericksburg.
BY HOWARD eLYNDoN.

Drift over the slopes of the sunrise land.
o, wonderful wonderful snow
o, pure as the breast Of virgin saint
Drift tenderly, softly and slow,
Over the slopes of the sunrise land,
And into the haunted dells
Of the forest pines, where the sobbing winds
Are tuning their memory bells:
Into the forest of signing pines,
And over those yellow slopes
That seem but the work of the cleaving ploW,
But cover so many hopes
They are many, indeed, and straightly made,
Not shapen with loving care
But the souls let ont and the broken blades
May never be counted here
Fall over the lonely graves,
0, delicate dropping snow
Like the blessing Of Gods unfaltering love
On the warrior heads below;
Like the tender sigh Of a mothers soul,
As she Wateth and Watcheth for one
Who will never come back from the sunrise lar
When this terrible war is done.
And here where lieth the high of heart,
Drift white as the bridal veil
That will never be worn by the dropping girl
Who sitteth afar, so pale
Fall fast as the tears OF the suffering wife,
Who stretcheth despairing hands
Ont to the blOodrich battle-felds
That crimson the eastern sands.
Fall in thy virgin tenderness,
o, delicate snow and cover
The graves of our heroes, sanctifed,
Husband and son and lover;
Drift tenderly over the yellow slopes,
And mellow our deep distress,
And put us in mind of the shriven souls,
And their mantles Of righteousness.

CANINE SAGAcITY.-During the summer Of
ls-, gentleman by the name of 'Old Moss,
who was considerable of a wag, was travelling
on a steamboat up the Mississippi river. He
had with him an ugly cur, that he called Ma
jor.
Old Moss was seated with a number of men in
the cabin and was boasting what his dog could
do. The captain who was standing near, re-
marked that what he said might be true, but he
did not believe it. Moss replied, that he would
bet the treats for all the gentlemen present that
he would make his dog do three things by tell
ing him to do them. The captain took the bet
Old Moss then opened the door and went out on
the guards, followed by the captain and GENTLE
men present, who were anxious to see the sport
Moss seized his dog by the nape of the neck, and
tossed him overheard. As oon as he
touched the water, Moss yelled out;
Swim, Major, swim ?
The dog swami of course. Moss kept his eyes
on the dog As soon as he perceived that the
dog could touch the ground. be roared ont:
WADE Major, wade
Major waded until he landed on dry ground
when Moss shouted out:
Shake yourselfr
Major shook himself Moss turned to tho
captain, who with the gentlemen present, were
convulsed with laughter, and exclaimed
There by the eternal living boots, l have
won the bet.
It is useless, perhaps, to say that the captain
paid the treats.

A THEATRICAL INCIDENT.-SOme years ago,
the manager of 'well regulated theatre, -
somewhere along the line of the Erie canal, en-
gagged good-looking aud brisk young lady as a
supernumerary. 1t happened that the young
lady in question had formerly oficiated in some
capacity as a fhand" on board a canal boat, a
fact that she was extremely anxious to conceal.
She evinced much anxiety to master the details
of the newly-chosen profession, and soon ex-
hibited more than ordinary degree of comic
talent. She was duly promoted and in time be-
came a general fayorte with both manager and
public. One night she was announced to ap-
pear in favorite part. couple of boatmen
found their way into the pitt near the footlights,
particularly anxious to see the new commed-
enne. The house was crowded, and, after the
subsistence Of the general applause which greet
ed her appearance, one of the boatmen slapped
his companion on the shoulder, and with an en-
phatic expletive, exclaimed, loud enough to be
heard over half the house
"Bill, know that gal !"
"Pshaw, ," said Bill, ''dry up.
"But I'm id if don't now Bill. It's Sal
Flukins as sure you're born. She's Old Flu
kins' daughter that used to run the Injured Pol
ly, and she used to sail with him."
"Tom, said Bill, "you' re fool and if you
don't stop your Internal clack, you'll get put
out. Sal Flukins You know sight if you
think that's her.n
Tom was silenced but not convinced. He
watched the actress in all her motions with in
tense interest, and ere long broke out again
~ tell you, Bill, that is her-I know 'tis.-
You can't fool mel know her too WE'LL P'
Bill, who was good deal interested in the
play was out of all patience at this persistent
interruption on the part of Tom. He gave him
tremendous nudge with his elbow, as an en-
phatic hint for him to keep quiet. Tom, with
out mindng the admonition, said
'You just wait-Tn fix her. Keep your eye
on me-"
Sure enough he did fix her. Watching his
opportunity when the actress was deeply abb
sorbed in her part, he sung out in voice which
rang through the galleries:
Glow bridge p
Instantly, from the force of habit, the actress
involuntarily ducked her head to avoid the an
ticipated collision. Down came the house with
perfect thunder of applause at the "palpable
hit" high above which Toms voice could be
heard, as he returned Bilps punch in the ribs
with interest:
"Didnt l tell ye, old boy-I know'd twas
her. You couldn't fool me-"

THE lNQUIsITIvE OLD LADY.-Two young la
dies, very genteey dressed, were lately riding in
bus. One of them whose features were more
remarkable for an expressive prominence of
nose than anything else, exhibited to the other
a likeness of herself, which she said had just
been taken, and they were engaged in discussing
its merits when elderly lady got into the
bus. She was evidently one of those inquisi-
tive yet good-natured souls who take deal of
innocent liberty in the world without thinking
any harm. After riding short distance she
held out her hand and said to the lady with the
picture
please let me look at it,
Her modest request was met with an indig-
nant frown, and the reply, as the case was re-
turned to the lady's pocket;
It's none of your businessp
The old lady settled back in her seat very
complacently, when the companion of the one
with the picture asked
what do you wish to do with it,?
'Oh, nothing, replied the old lady; Il only
wanted TO see how successfully the artist has
put such nose on so small plate r

with her veil, and dropped the subject during

The FooT OF A HoRsE.-The human hand has
often been taken to illustrate Divine wisdom

your horses foot? 1t is hardly less curious in
its way. Its parts are somewhat complicated,
yet their design is simple and obvious. The
hoOf is not, as it appears to the careless eye, a
mere lump of insensible bone fastened to the
leg by joint. It is made up of series of thin
number nicely fitted to each other, and forming
lining to the hoOf itself Then there are as
many more layers, belonging to what is called
the "coffin bone," and fitted into this. These
are elastic. Take quire of paper and insert
the leaves one by into those of another quire,
and you will get some idea of the arrangement
of the layers Now the weight of the horse
rests on as many elastic springs as there are
layers in his fore feet-about 4, 600; and this is
eontrived, not only for the easy conveyance of
the horses own body, but whatever burdens
may be laid on him. Veterinary Journal.
