POETRY.
FIFTY Years Apart.

They Ri. in the winter cleaning,
And the fire burns bright between;
One has passed seventy summers,
And the other just sc ventecn.
They rest in happy silence,
AS the shadows deepen fast;
One lives in coming future,
And one in long, long past.
Each dreams Of n rush of music,
And aquestion whispered low;
One will hear it this evening
One heard it long ago.
Each dreams of loving husband,
Whose heart is hers alone;
For one the joy is coming
For one the JOY has flown.
Each dreams of a life Of gladncss, a.
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the memory
Shine in the happy eyes.
Who knows which dream is the brightest?
And who knows which is the best?
The sorrow and JOY arc mingled,
But only the end is rest.

The Boundary Line Between the United States
and Great Britain.

Among the questions submitted bv the
Washington Treaty was the true boun-
dairy between Great Britain and the
unitcd States OH our Northwestern and
Pacific coasts. The English Govcrnment
claim that the line Should Srun through
the Rosario Straits, the American Gov
eminent through the Cana de Haro.
This involves the legal title to the Islands
M San Juan, Orcas, Lopcy, Blakeley,
Decatur and Shaw, which lie between
these two points.
This forms Il portion Of formerly Ore
gon, but now of Washington Territory.
lhcrc will be well remembered, the
famous controversy some years since in
reference to our Northwestern Boundary,
when the United States claimed the
Whole ofthe Northwest territory as far as
the Russian possessions. 1t was in 1874,
nearly thirty years ago, that Mr.. Polk
and the Democratic party aroused the
lntional pride by the utterancc of 81 40,
or fight. If the British claim of boun-
Diary had then been permitted, the United
States would have be,n without seaport
.A the Pacific. Finally, the Ashburton
treaty was adjusted in 1916, by which
forty-ninc degrees was agreed as the
parallel, but to extend Westward "to the
middle of the channel, which separates
the Continent from Nuncover's Island,
and thence Southcrly through the middle
Of said channel and of Fuca Straits to
the Pacific Ocean"
1t will he observed that the name of
the channel is not designated. The whole
question, therefore, turns upon the point,
which is the channel which separates the
continent from Nancouvcr's | land? l.
I the Rosnria Strait, or ihc Canal dc
.Iaro? Which of these was the main
channel in 1876, when the treaty was
gncd? On this one issue the whole sub
cct matter rests. 1t Is u matter OF con
sequence, on account of the value
of the Island of San Juan, as a
coaling and other station. BY the fol

How Birds are Taught to Sing.

Every kind of bird sings its own pc
culiar notes, but all may be taught to
sing regular tunes. The mocking-bird
and thrush learn tunes without trimming.
But, by regular education, other birds
may become fine performers. A contri-
butor to the Nursery says:
last summer l was ut Il friends house
at Nahant. l rose early iu the morning,
and went down stairs to walk Oh the
pnzza. While there heard. ns thought,
some person whstling tune in very
sweet style. looked around, but could

in the midst of flowers and twining plants.
Can it b - thought I, that such Al
little bird as that has been taught to sing
alcgular ne so swcctly?"
did not know what to make of it.
When my friend cnme down stairs she
told me that it ,as the little bird who had
whistlcd the sweet tune. Then my friend
cried on to the bird, Come Bully, Bully,
sweet little bluciin:h. give us just one
more tune And then this dear little
bird hoppcd about the cage, looked at his
mistress, and whistlctl another sweet tune.
1t was so strange to hear bird whistle II
regular tune.
Now, Bully" sail my friend, "you
must give us Yankee Doodle Cone,
come, you shall have some nice fresh seed
if you will whistle Yankee Doodle. >"
And the little thing did whistle it much to
my surprise.
My friend then told nc that sh. had
brought the bird from the little town of
Fulda, in Germany, where there are little
schools for teaching these birds to sing.
When bullfnch has learned to sing
two or three tunes, he is worth from forty
to sixty dollars, for he will bring that
price in France or England
Great skill and patience are needed to
teach these birds Few teachers can have
the time to give to the children under
their charge so much care rs the bird
teachers givcto their bird d-pupils.
The birds are put into classes Of about
six each, and kept for time in dark
room. Here. when their food is given to
them, they are mn'e to hear music, 50
that, when they have eaten their food, or
when they want more food, they will sing,
and try to initiate the tune they have just
learned. This tune they probably con-
meet with the nc: Of feeding. AS soon as
they begin to initiate q few notes, the
light is let into the room, and this cheers
them still moro, and makes them feel as
if they would like to sing. In some OF
these schools the birds are allowed rcthcr
light nor food till they begin to sing.
These are the schools where the teachers
are more strict.
After being thus taught in classes, each
bulfnch is put under the care of a boy,
Who plays his organ from m"rning till
night, wkile the mastes or the mistress OF
the bird school goes round to see how the
pupils are getting On.
The bullfnches seem to know mt once

"ART1cLE 34.-Wherevs il was stipu-
