A Wild Pigeon Roost.

Probably the largest pigeon roost ever
known in Maryland, is now existing on
the farm of Mr. VIM. Schley, near Oak.
land, in AIlegany county. The pigeons
collect nightly on a tract Of ground
covered with alder bushes occupying
about six acres. The pigeons first up.
peared about ten days ago in countless
focks The Cumberland Nsps says
The iufockiug pigcous gradually settled
down upon the bushes, until they we're
bent to the ground by the weight of the
birds. Still more pigeons came flying
in from distant points aud continued to
settle down upon the already living
mass, until the whole five or six acres
were compactly covered. So great was
the number of birds that they were
piled upon each other in places from
one to two feet in depth. The pigeons
continued focking in aud settling upon
aud among each other from about A
o'clock in the afternoon until nightlall,
when at last they became still, aud pre-
pared for their nights rest With the
early dawn of the morning flock, after
flock arose aud few away in all direc
tions which departures were continued
until about . o'clock, when the place
was deserted and not living bird to be
seen during the remainder of the day,
until toward evening when they again
began 6ockiug back to the same roosts,
and the scenes of the evening before
were again to be Witnessed, and all this
has occurred daily for the past ten days.
1t is estimated that all the aocks Of
pigeons for perhaps fifty or sixty miles
around thus gather at this Que spot each
evening during their annual migratory
visit to the immense forest regions Of
the Allegnny Mountains in quest Of the
heavy mast OF acorns abounding there.
This is the only roost known this season
in this or suy Of the bordering coun-
ties, aud is perhaps the only one within
a circle Of several hundred miles. Ii
is 4 well established fact that these
birds have but one roosting place within
very large territory, aud 10 their
transit to warmer ATTITUDES, aud during
their stoppage by the way, use one
place only as a roost at night At this
wonderful roost on Gel Schley's place,
thousands and thousands OF pigeons
have been nightly captured by men aud
boys, with guns, clubs and bags. After
nightfall n person can 60 among the
birds and scoop them into the mouth Of
bag. II is needless TO add that thou
sands Of them have been waDtonly shot
aud allowed to remain upon the ground
where they died.

RUBIEs.

IL is not little remarkable, aud we
might philosphize for some time about
it, that while the diamond IS made up
OF pure carbon, or simple black and

Nothing, we may venture TO say, in
Natures chemistry is more wonderful
than this fact OF the dull, colorless, and
liieless clay becoming metunorphosed,
by some hiddcu and almost miraculous
way, into the transparency clear, red
colored, and almost living gem Imag
iuation itself tails TO find theory to
account for oil this, and no progress iu
chemistry can invent theory to fit it.
IL Is u somewhat curious coincidence
that the ruby, us well as the diamond
aud other precious stones, are So often
found associated with gold; where they
are there gold is almost sure to be
preseut. Nature produces these, her
riches, together, aud II afterwards ,s

er, aud to exhibit them AS Que object.
How much remains to bo done before
this artistic feat is well performed; for,
as things are, the beauty of the stone is
as oIteu as not spoiled in the cutting
and fling, We are inclined to think
that no colored stone should DO cut ut
all. kubics, for instance, always LOOK
richer by the being simply polished or
cut en- eubdchOn, or tallow topped as it
is termed 1t is the marvellous depth

The Falling Leaves.

The falling leaves, as well as the
pathetic cries that are so often heard
beside the open grave, eloquently pro.
claim that change aud decay are the
law which controls everything around
us. The lovely flowers which exhaled
their fragrance on every breeze and
many of the beloved associates of by
gone days have dropped aud died, aud
their beautiful forms gladden. our eyes
no more. The changing seasons which
produce such marvellous scenes as we
often gaze upon, first with delight and
anon with sadness, should remind US of
the changes ofthis mortal life. Happy
at liie's close shall we be if we have
wisely improved our allotted time.

Teach the Women to Save.

There's the secret A saving wo.
man at the head Of tho family is the
very best savings bank ever established
Que receiving deposits daily and
hourly, with no costly machinery to
manage it. The idea of saving is a
pleasant one, aud if the women would
imbibe il at once, they would cultivate
aud adhere to it, and thus when they
are not aware Of it would bo laying the
foundation of competent security in
stormy time, and shelter in a rniny day
The woman who sees TO her own house
has large field to save 10. The best
way to make her comprehend it is to
keep an account of all current expenses.
Probably not one woman 10 ten has an
iIea how much are the expenditures of
herself aud family. Where from one
10 two thousand dollars are expended
annually, there is a chance to save
soHstiiius tr rue cnurI Is made. Let
the housewife take the idea, act upon
it, and she will save many dollars
perhaps hundreds where before she
thought it impossible. This is duty,
not a prompting of avarice, but a moral
obligation that rests upon the woman as
well US the mao.
Teach the men to save, also. Let
them stop the daily leak CT tobacco aud
cigars. Smoking and chewing are ex.
pensive indulgencies, not only useless,
but hurtful. A man would be amazed
to count up the sum spent for tobacco
10 the course Of one year; and if to that
be added the sum spent for whiskey,
the amount is greater still. When will
men learn wisdom and cease to torture
themselves by the use of such hurtful
stimulants Why will they spend
