Crimson cloth jackets or sacks, trim

very fashionable for opera wear, or for

Cos He Sang So.

Leaning idly over the fencea few days
since, we noticed little four-year old,
"lord Of creation" amusing himself in the
grass, watching the irolicsome flight Of
birds, which were playing around him.
At length bobolink perched itself upon
a dropping burgh Of an apple tree, which
extended to within few yards OF where
the urchin sat, and maintained his posi-
ton, apparently unconscious Of the close
proximity Of one whom the birds usually
considered dangerous neighbor. The
boy seemed astonished at his imprudence
and, after regarding him steadily for o
minute or two, obeying the instinct Of his
baser part, he picked mp stone lying at
his feet, and was preparing to throw it,
steadying himself carefully for good
aim. The little arm was reached back
ward without alarming the bird, and
Bob was within an inch OF damage;
when, 10 his throat swelled, and forth
came natures plea. "A-link--a.link--a.
link, Bob-o-link, Bob-o link a-no weet,
a-no weet 7 know it-I know it a-link
-a-hnk don't throw it throw it, throw
it," ETC., and he didn't. Slowly the little
aim subsiued to its natural position, and
the dispised stone dropped. The min,
strel charmed the murderer. We heard
the songster throttgh, and watched his
unharmed flight, IA did the boy, With
sorrowtul countenance. Anxious to hear
an expression Of the little fellows fsel'
ings, we approached him, and inquired
"Why didn you stone him, my boy
You might have killed him, and carried
hin, home
The poor little fellow looked mp doubt
ingly, rs though he suspected our meah'
ing, and with an expression Of hall
shame and half sorrow, he replied:
"Couldnt cos he sang So"
| Don't stone the birds.

FORGOT His RamrOd.


There is perhaps no man who has
hunted much but that has at some time
left the ramrod Of his gun ut home,
aud found it out after getting several
miles away from home, There is sto-
ry told Of General Kellogg, Of Wiscon-
sin, There was time when he used a
muzzle-load-ing gun. When he got the
new one he loadela u lot OF SHELLS, and
early cue morning ho shouldered his gun
and walked up above Onulaska, He
was going to make whole day oft and
have fun. He put his dog into field
and sod got covey Of chickens. He
killed tao aud marked down the bal
lance Of the flock in piece OF meadow,
the incest place in the world for nice
shooting. He was excited and perspired
like butcher After picking up the two
chickens he felt in his pocket for his
powder. flask, when lol it was missing.
His eyes stuck out 80 that you could
hang your hat on them, and he became
more excited, when glancing at the gun,
he missed the ramrol. That was two
much. He may have sworn. He
thought Of the thirty chickens in the
meadow, and decided iu a moment
Hastily called his dog off, and started
for Onalaska, and proceeded to livery

man if he would take him to La Crosse
and back i'll an hour and half h0 would
give him ten dollar note. The livery
man hitched up i'll IL moment and then
dust was soon flying on the road to La
Crosse. On the way the driver couldn't
get half dozen words out of Kellogg,
and made up his mind he must have es-
capped from some asylum. However,
they arrived in little less than forty
minutes, aud stopped at Keliogys y house.
The General rushed III, leaving the door
wide open, his hair WAS filed with dust,
and charged into the room where he usll-
ally kept his shooting tools. The lady
of the house was somewhat alarmed at
his actions, and with much interest in
his case, she said:
"Why, General. what is the matter;
What has happened?'
"Nothing my dear says the GeueroI

The Works of Nature.
How vast the works Of nature are;
There is no end tospacG
The works of nature great and fair,
Are seen in ev'ry place.
Where'er We turn our gazing e. es,
We see her mis hty hand;
Displayed in bsauty through the skies,
Aud spread in sV'ry land.
She countless worlds that roll through space
la sweet harmony cOmbined'
Each moving in its proper place.
How wandrOus to the mind.
The clothes the trees with yerdant leaves,
Aud robes the plain in grass;
Aud flowers blossom on the leas,
That far all arts surpass.
Take, mountain, valley, hill and stream,
Declare her hand divine:
The Ocean joins the mighty theme,
And makes the scene more fine.
The works of nature vast and high,
Mans mind can ne'er unfold:
They reach from earth beyond the sky,
Marvellous to behold.
All ruled by one unerring power,
Throughout the mighty frame:
They 6ll their proper place and hour,
Obedient to his great name.
