JACK AND THE SoDIRREL.-"Oh,m mother,
Tom has consented to lend me his gun and
am going to shoot squirrel that is up
the chestnut tree. Wont that be jolly !"
"Wait a minute, Jack, and I'll tell Won
something about the squirrels, and then,
perhaps, you will let the little fellow live
awhile longer. When Michael was blowing
the other day he came across squirrels
nest deep down in the ground and called
me to sec it. In a snug little hole there
was carefully piled up acorns and nuts for
winter use, enough to fill quart measure.
told Michael to cover the hole again, for
it would be pity to disturb the little
creatures winter house. While 1 was
talking, 1 heard a noise in the tree near by,
and upon looking up there saw the SOUR
rel sitting on his hind legs, scoldinS and
chattering, as though he would say, %, do
not destroy all that have done to make
my little ones comfortable when the snow
covers the ground and they can find no food
Then l remembered that the little animal
is often very useful, for he would take an
acorn and bury it and forget where he had
hidden it, and the next spring young oak
would appear on the spot, and thus many of
our finest oaks have been planted by these
nimble little creatures.
"So, Jack, find some other target for
yourself, and spare our little neighbor; do
not, just for the fun of using Toms gun, >
kill our bright-eyed little friend"

is to compel the covering OF the cotton

"That no lncse hay, loose cotton, or

on any passenger steamer. without com
forming to the provisions of this sectiou
shall be sub ject to a penalty of five dol
lars; which bales shall he liable to seiz-

This law, it will bf seen, requires

SERIOUS INDIsPUslTIoN OF QUEEN VICTORIA
We find the following dispatel. in Western pa
pers:
New York, Sept. -26.-European mails to-day
bring ample evidence that the condition Of
Queen Victoria is more serious than is generally
anticipated The London Times grieves to-day
that if her Majesty has suffered from severe
and painful antark. it commenced with grave
general derangeneat of her health. This was
followed by violent affection Of the throat
which rendered swallowing speaking above
n whisper very painful and difficult and the
attack ended in very severe abcess, under the
,arna. The abeess WINS upened aud proved much
larger than anticipated. This, however, d.~s
net tegin tn tell tho whole truth. The Queen is
still in imminent danger. She is suffering froul
q scrofnlons disease VI very persistent and
malignant nature. and fatal results may ensue
ut any nasmcnt. When the Queen is more than
usually affected in her mind they always send
for Lady Churchill, and that lady is now at
BalFaorsl.
