AristOcrats Going to Work.

A Warsaw correspondent of the Rus
sian st. Petersburg Gazette, says that
a great change has come over the char
acter of the Poles of late: "The old
prejudices which prevented nobleman
from engaging in industrial or COM
mercial pursuits have almost entirely
disappeared. have myself seen the
descendants of old aristocratic families
working early and late in factories and
offices, and l know an old nobleman
who has made his son apprentice to a
baker, and is now about to help him to
set up for himself, without the least
anxiety as to what his ancestors would
have thought on the subject. The care
for ones daily bread has completely
humbled the old aristocratic pride and
driven it from the minds and hearts of
the Polish nobility l know very
clever and wealthy landowner of
Lithuania, who collected the remains
of his property and founded here in
Warsaw commercial house under his
own name, which furnishes him and his
family with the means of living very
respectfully. Everywhere, and in all
classes of society, is to be seen a pow
erful desire for work and action Of a
nature to improve the country

Instinct of the Frog.

In New Zealand, it is said, surface
water is entirely gone from large tracts,
sometimes covering 5000 square miles,
for months, and even for years. The
region becomes so utterly dry as to
forbid the possibility, apparently, OF
any survival of frog life. And yet these
reptiles seem to beat the cat for tena-
city of life; for wherever rain falls
sufficiently to I'LL the water-holes they
are found to swarm with frogs, and this
when Immediately previous one might
dig for ten or twenty feet without
finding any trace of water. A recent
writer offers solution. His state
ment is that on recent tour he became
alarmed for want of water. That a
native called III help, went Immediately
to dry water-hole, found crooked
and indistinct track on what had once
been mud nd followed it up to the
shade Of q small bush. Here he COM
menced digging. and soon found ball
of clay, about eight inches in diameter,
and quite dry on the outside. But
when broken it was found to contain
about half pint of clear, cold water,
in which frog was biding his time,
awaiting the rainy season. A number
of similar balls were exhumed, and the
travellers made free with both the va
ter and the frogs. This is marvellous
story, and one may well wait for veri-
tication and yet such display of pro-
tective instinct is not more marvel
lous than many which are certainly
known.

CONSIDERABLE excitement has been
created at Small Point, Me-, by the
appearance of stranger who recently
visited that place and desired the as
sistance Of a resident to disinter a
large quantity of money, which, he
said, was buried there. The resident
was not over-credulous, but at last
went with the man to certain point
marked out on a chart, where, after
digging some two feet, large stone
was exposed to view, under which was
a box containing $500 Peruvian coins,
all of the same date, and which had
evidently been obtained direct from the
mint The stranger taking the larger
amount of the money, departed from

A Spring.Time Chirp.

The blue-birds and the ROBINS Teo
This morning came IN airs
The blue-birds with mncn fnodesis,
The robins with some airs.
The morning winds moved Senliy
The reddening maple Tree,
where the blne-hirds and the roblns
pin4d their Spring. time minstreisys
Tho audience room was very large,
The audience rather small -,
pe.riuo through half-closed WINDOW mus
One "family circle" all.
The curtain rose at break OF day,
Dissolving into air.
The singers promptly we're IN place,
For morning praise and prayer
The little chirping soloists,
And choristers as well,
THRILLED clearly all the higher notes'
And to the lowest fell
So perfectly, in time and tune,
SO blithely, and 30 gay,
While the King Of Day, from tie Eastern SKY
Threw his robes Of night away
And in his car of molten gold,
With cloud-steeds snowy white,
On perfnmed breath-the morning air,
Rode up the empyrean height,
Ip regal robes and royal state,
Passing our maple tree,
Where the blue-b!rds and the robins
Sang their morning melody.
No Hats, no snaTps, DOt pbe iaihS bo''J
None hired to cry "encore;"
The daily programme warbled through,
All this and nothing more,
Comprising Spring-time songs Of JOY,
AT early break OF day,
From the blue-birds and the robins,
In genuine matinee.
With earnest listeners enly-~
With only those who hear
The song Of the birds in Spring-ume
With eager listening ear
The sky for an auditorium,
The budding trees for bowers,
For a guest the Sun Of the morning;
Such are very precious hours
But, alb, the concert closes
Too soon, by far, each day,
And we look, and wait, and listen,
Ar the bird-notes die away
In the dim and vaulted distance
OF the blue, ethereal sky,
Leaving rainbow tints Of beauty,
At our feet, az the world goes by.
