\ SMART RAT.-We have heard of

\ SMART RAT.-We have heard of
tolerable smart rats in our time, but
the old gray rat who was the hero of
the following yarn, which is taken
from an Ogdensburg, New York,
paper, rather " lays over any We
have heard of yet;
\ lady who has a number of fine
hens, to which she has devoted a
good deal of care and attention dur
ing the Winter, in hopes to obtain
an early and Il fair crop of fresh eggs,
was surprised Mt the meager result
actually reached. The hens made
noise, in singing and cachling,
enough for every day layers, and yet
only occasionally did she get an egg.
The lady at length determined to
watch operations and ascertain, If
possible. the cause OF failure. She
saw the hens 90 upon the nest, but
If she WAS not present when they
came off no egg was found. At
length constant watching and wait
ing solved the mystery. \ day or
two since. while on the watch. hen
came off the nest and commenced
cackling Almost instantly an old
rat came out Of Il hole, and running
into barrel. which was thrown down
upon its side. and in which the hens
nest was, at once nosed the egg out
upon the ground, then laid down
upon its back and getting the egg
between its fore paws and nose, com
menced squealing, when two other
rats came out and taking the rat with
the egg by the hind legs, dragged it,
egg and all, into the hole. The lady
atiirms that she can substantiate the
foregoing fact by at least three living
witnesses. If any one can tell a
more remarkable rat story than this
We should like to hear it.

FoR THE BOYS. Brick Pomeroy

1t makes us sad to see smart, sharp,

often are. Looking back to our boy

Gus feeling there comes to one who
has striven for and reached success.
They were good boys when we knew
them, but they lacked pluck and
energy. Instead of working to be
something and accomplish some
thing. they were content to spend
their time in idleness, and to put off
till tomorrow what they had better
have done at once. Many Of these
bows were handsome, intelligent,
and quick, but lazy. They were
willing to sit in the shade till their
father. uncle, or somebody should
die and leave them a little property.
Instead of endeavoring to improve
their minds, they were content to

1t seems neXplicablc how many birds
find their way back TO exactly the same
haunts of the previous year, and this is
more extraordinary when we consider the
dista nee between their winter and summer
retreats. l have often wondered how tiny
WARRIORS find their way from Northern
Europe to Central Africa, and at the very
short time spent by certain birds on their
journey. The cuckoo appears in England
Just as soon as we find it in Southern Italy.
1t has seemed to me that bird migrations
may be performed in the following man
ner: Such birds rs push furthcst inland at
one point do not do so at the other. For
example, the swallows aud insectivcr1us
birds that frequent Northern Europe may
content themselves with the climate of AL
geria and lower Egypt, while the rest from
Italy and Southern Europe push to equato-
rial ATTITUDES, and vice versa. \ great
many warblers from Northern Europe
spend their winter in the south and in the
islands of the Mediterranean, while the ma
iority go still further southwark. But why
should individuals Of the same species, re-
main in cold climates when others migrate
to warm countries? For example, the
redbreast braves the sevcrest winters in
Britain, while the robins Of Southern Eu-
rope migrate 10 Africa, and the same may
be said of the song-thrush and b,ackbird ;

F.rR.uRR'S WIVES.

The reading of essays by the ladies is one
of the exercises which give life and interest
to the meetings of the Springfield (Vt.)
Farmers Club. From one of the essays
by Mrs Daniel Rice, published in the Yer
mont Farmer we copy the following para

"Did you ever think of the amount Of
thought requisite to plan three meals Il day
for three hundred and sixtyfive days in
succession? TO prepare enough and not
too much, and for those living at a distance
from the village, to remember that the
stock of flour, sugar, tea, ETC., is replenish-
cd in due time? Do you ever think of the
multitude of her cares and duties? She
must rise carly to prepare breakfast or
oversee ii. Perhaps there are children to
wash, dress and feed, or TO get ready for
school with their dinners. There is bak-
ing, sweeping, busting, making beds,
lunch for the men, may bc-dinner, sup
per to be made ready at the proper time
the washing, starching, folding and IRON
ing of cothes-the care of milk, including
the making of butter and chcese-and the
inevitable washing Of dishes. In autumn
there is the additional work of picking,

with the still more unpleasant task which

does not keep it at bay. There is the

There are so many bright spots in the life
of Il farm boy, that l sometimes think l
should like to live the life over again l
should almost he willing to be a girl if it
were not for the chores. There is great
comfort to boy in the amount of work he
can get rid of doing. 1t is sometimes as
tonishing how slow he can go on an errand,
he who leads the school in race. The
world is new and interesting TO him, and
there is so much to take his attention of
when he is sent to do anything. Perhaps
he couldn't explain, himself, why, when he
is sent to the neighbours after yeast, he
stops to stone the frogs he is not exactly
cruel, but he wants to see If lac can hit 'em.
No other living thing can 20 so slow as a
boy sent OIL an errand. His legs seem to
be dead, unless he happens to espy a wood
chuck in an adjoining lot, when he gives
chase to it like deer and it is a curious
fact about boys, that two will be a great
deal slower in doing anything than one,
and the more you have TO help on piece
Of work the less is accomplished. Boys
have "A power in helping each other do
nothing and they are so innocent about it
and unconscious. IL went as quick as ever
| could" says one boy, when his father
as ks him why he didn't stay all night
when he had been absent three hours on a
ten minute errand. the sarcasm has no
effect on the boy.
Going after the cows was serious thing
in NV day. had TO climb up a hill which
was covered with wild Strawberries in the
season. Could any boy pass by those ripe
berries And then in the fragrant hill-pas-
ture, there we're beds of wintergreen with
red berries, tufts of columbne, roots of
sassairas to be dug, and dozens of things
good to eat or to smell, which I could not
resist. 1t sometimes oven lay in my way to
climb tree to look for a crows nest. or TO
swing in the top, or to see if could see
the steeple of the village church. 1t be-
came very important sometimes for me TO
see the steeple and in the midst of nv in
vestigations the tin horn would blow a
great blast from the farmhouse. which
would send a cold chill down my back in
