sorrow and repentance. Its distance
from the ground made it inconvsuient
but she had. the eagle instinct Of max
iog a nest as near the clouds ~ posi-.
bic. Fortunately her ankle proved
very painful and made it necessary
for her to keep her room several weeks.
Before she left it,, Mrs. Kendon visited
her, using 70 as 4 erutcb.. She W.
very weak and pale, and after getting
seated, eaid:
>"The doctor told me I must not loave
my room, but I thought I must come
and see you, l owe you 20 muohw >
Margaret drew up the under lids o.
her eyes with a lock Of keen inquiry,
and asked:
"Did you ever sec the bird they call
the bear :"
"The what I"
"The bird called the bear.1 He gen.
orally lives in Northern ATTITUDES, il
quite destitute Of wings, but asoends
trees by means Of his paws, Of which
he has two pairs. If I were your ply
sician I should order a course of study
in natural history. 1t is very interest
ing and marvelously vol adapted to
aid convalsscence. There is. the glut-
ton, the sloth, the porcupine, the 81
raffe and other animals too numerous to
mention, but all or any one Of them
might occupy 4 lifetime Of research.
Botany ID better suited to full health,
as it is apt to lead one to the mints, and
that particular vegetable which Kate
Sullivan would call 'slntimint is the
very last plant which = convalescsnt
should undertake to analyse. Let you
and me take up 4 course Of reading on
the lions and bears, Of which il is said
they are inclined to growl and fight,
with which amiable propensity I have
some sympathy of late."
Thus as nature clothes the pulpy
chestnut in a burr, did she teach her
the defense OF 4 rough exterior to ward
off the thanks which would have been
insupportable. 10
70 laughed nerrily At these conoeis.
Mrs. Kendoa felt that they suggested
. course which was really best and 50
joined her, saying:
II think | shall begin my studies
BY investigating the habits Of ; little
gray hen or : jenny wren, aud proceed
BY easy stages to that other bird Of
yours" ::
"Well, you will find him eminently
worthy Of attention. His voice is not
just 40 6ns as that Of tho moekingbird,
aud he is said g b less graceful than
the swan, but for eating green corn be
far surpasses either" ~.
Mrs. ; Kendon proposed that both
should get we'll, 80 ~ 70 90 down to t.
bic together, and they mutually, agreed
70 delay or accelerate recovery 20 n
that that Of the on. should correspond
to the other; and after q visit Of hal
an hour, Mrs. Ksndon returned to bel

no" babitual to her face sometimes cave

'o'ness' One OF these ripples sparkled
on her face as they stopped to speak to
Margaret, and she said i:
"ob, you little old grey hen! have
you put all your broods to eleep?"
"An but one saucy chick, who is out

on each sideo the handsome face, say
Ing, "You are looking ever and ever 30

here without reference to her consent,
and entered into every combination
which made her clouds leaden or gold

obituary thus pays tribute to his memory
"Jem was generally considered good fell
low. He went forth without a struggle,
and SIGH is life. To-day we are pepper
grass-mighty smart--to-morrow we are
cut down like cowcumbers to the ground.
Jem kept nice store, which his wife now
waits on. His werchews are numerous to
behold. Many is the things that we
bought at his grocery, and we are happy to
state to the admiring world that he never
cheated, especially in the weight of max
eral, which was nice and smelled sweet
His surviving wife was the same way. We
never knew him to put sand in sugar,
though he had q big sand bar in front Of
his house, nor water his liquors, though
the Ohio river runs past his door. Peace
to his remains. He leaves wife, Z child

THE INCOME TAx.-That portion of the
Internal Revenue law which relates to in.
comes winds up us follows:-'The taxes
on incomes herein imposed shall be due
and payable on the Both day of April in
each year until and including the year 1870
and no longer" A powerful pressure
will be brought upon Congress during it,
next session to abolish Immediately this
unjust, unequal and consequently unpopu
lar law. The condition of the finances of
the country will warrant the abolition o
all further tax on mems earnings.

Oliver Goldsmith's dedication of 1.-THE
Deserted Village" to Sir Joshua Reynolds
contains the following striking passage
"For twenty or thirty years past it has
been the fashion to consider luxury as one
of the greatest national advantages and all
the wisdom Of antiquity, in that particu-
lar, as erroneous. Still, however, l must
remain professed ancient on that head,
and continue to think those luxuries pre-
judicial to States, by which SO many vices
have been introduced, and so many king
doms have been undone."

LIVING STATUEs.-In the large halls which
are illustrated with paintings of battles in
oil the Russian campaign, from Pultawa
to Sebastopol, are posted companies of
soldiers at the further end-a diffnrent reg
iment at each hall. For six hours these
men and their officers stand motionless as
statues. Not movement except now and
then of the eyelid, can be detected; even
their respiration seems to be suspended.
There is something weird and uncanny in
such preternatural silence and apparent
death-in -life. l became impressed with
the idea that some form of catalepsy had
seized and bound them in strong trance
The eyeballs were fixed, they stared at me
and saw me not; their hands were glued
to the weapons and their feet to the floor.
l suspect there must have been some stolen
relief when no guest happened to be pres
ent, yet, come when might, I found them
unchanged. When reflected that the
men were undoubtedly very proud of the
distinction they enjoyed, and that their
case demanded no sympathy, l could in
spect and admire them with an easy mind.
