The LIABILITY OF EDITORS TO
THEIR FRIENDs.-What is the liabil-
ity Of an editor to his personal friends?
Strictly speaking, he should have
none; should attack his father if he
disapprovcs his speeches, or lash his
Wife's last book if he thinks it rubbish.
This is, no doubt abstractly true,
as it is, also abstractly true to
steal an cpigram from an Australian
who once wrote 4 pamphlet on the sub
ject, that an editor should live in
cellar. but in practice men will not
comply with either condition, and such
demands would drive all the men with
hearts and tempers out Of the profez-
sion. It is, nevertheless, excessively
difficult to find rule that shall be
morally sufficient; tor silence, though
it will meet the case of a book: unless
of the first Importance, will not meet
that Of grave political action. We
suspect that in this case the practice
of parliament is still the best guide,
and that the journalist is bound, as
the statesman would be bound, to do
This duty and take the consequences.
He might be a little more gentle in
his language, a little more apologetic
in his tone, but the attack must not
be deprived Of its efficiency for any
personal consideration whatever.

How TO Grow BEAUTIFUL.-The
woman who is Indifferent to her looks
is no true woman. God meant wo-
man to be attractive, to look well. and
please; and it is one OF her duties to
carry out the intention Of her Master.
But that dress is to do it all: and to
suffice. is more than | can be brought
to believe. Just because I Go love to
see girls look we'll, as we'll as live to
some purposc, I would urge upon
them such course Of reading and

OLD PUPns.-A story is told in
Arkansas Of a pedagogue who once
came from Tennessee to establish
a school. He secured q small cabin
eH Crpwley's Ridge for q school
room, and after giving due notice
opened his institution. Presently
the door opened and there appeared
at the threshold two tall, ungainly
youths, each with shot gun on his
shouldet. After placing their guns
ia a corner of the room these prom
ising pupils took seats On one of
the Tear benches. The teacher ex-
amined them in regard to their re-
qmrements, and found them both
ignorant of their alphabet. One of
the young laen was at oloo taken in
hand, and the teacher very properly
began with an attempt to fix the
letter A in his mind. The frequent
repetition of the name of this letter
attracted the attention OF the other
pupil, who came forward an. asked
to be shown the letter A. His rea-
sonable request was granted, when,
after moments examination of the
letter he turned up lis nose con
tenptuously, saying, ':Doggon A!
If that's all he is he'll be no go in
Arkansas" whereupon both the
boys shouldered their guns and
marched of, leaving the schoolmas.

gogue came to the conclusion that
he had made mistake in selecting

PASSENGER PIGEONS.

Most boys and girls who live in
the country have seen wild pigeons,
and know what graceful birds thcy
are. The muscles Of their wings are
very large and strong. Audubon says
that these pigeons travel at the rate Of
a mile 10 a minute, and that if one Of
them were to follow the fashion. and
take trip to Europe, It could cross
the ocean in less than three days. We
can all ezelain with David; "Oh, that
L had wings like a dovew But
quite as wonderful as their speed, is
the gseat power Of vision these birds
possess. As they journey through
space, they can overlook hundreds Of
acres at once, and their sharp eyes
can discover at glance whether the
country beneath them is barren, or
supplied with the food they need.
On the day I speak of, the birds
few very low, and hundreds, of them
alighted on the trees in passing. They
often alight in such numbers that
great branches are broken off, and
sometimes the pigeons are crushed to
death. The fields bordering the river
were covered with them; but they
only stopped to rest, apparently, or
perhaps to pick up a little food, and
were again on the wing. As these de-
tachments of the vast army pigeons
rose from the grouud, with a great
tapping of wings, others alightcd;
meanwhile the main flock was passing
steadily over our heads. The process
sion seemed endless, for the day wore
On, and still the swift-winged birds
rustled through the air, and still the
coming Aocks looked like delicate pen
cilings on the distant sky. It was a
rare day for sportsmen. Instead Of
roosting in a ncighboring forest. as
We hoped, the pigeons few over into
Wisconsin. But every day through
the summer, stray focks foraged
among the oak groves about US
and their shadows swept over sunny
slopes and fields Of waving grain, like
fitting clouds.-From ST. Nicholas

MIR. EINE..iY.S NEW HEAD OF
HAIR.

a woman in New Haven was re.
Gently bcTeft Of her scslp by the
idi0syncrasies Of 4 shaft and belt.
The doctors saw that o remedy
the evil they would have to resort
TO transplanting, and 50 they ac-
tually succeeded in getting a suffi.
cicnt number Of pieces rom other
peoples heads to give this unfor-
tunate woman Il new Salp. We
hope those New Haven doctors
used more discretion tkan Gil he
who attended o man nlmed Fin
lay, who met with Il similar
accident in Oriskany, \. Y, somo
thirteen years ago. Bits Of scalp p
from seventeen different persons
were secured by this doctor, and
adroitly stitched to the head OF
Mr.. Finlay. When 1t was done,
people came miles to sec Finlay's
head, and Finlay himself, with his
checkerboard Uranium, was the
happiest man in Oriskany. But
when tho capillary glands got in
working order, and the hair COM
menced to grow, the top Of that
mans head presented the most cx-
traordinary spectacle on record.
The Doctor, who was about half the
time in liquor, had consulted cx-
pediency rather than judgment,
and secured that new scalp with
out any reference to future de-
vclopmcuts. We never saw any.
thing like it. Hero WAS tuft of
yellow hair, and next to it bit OF
black. and then a flame Of red, and
a little like silk, and more like
tow, with brown hair, and gray
hair, and sandy hair, and cream.
colored hair scattered over his en-.
tire skull. And what a mad man
Finlay was, and nobody could
blame him. lie would stand III
against the barn for an hour at O
time and sob and swear. 1t was
very fortunate that the Doctor
was dead. He went off two
weeks before with blue aguc
which is y mild sort of disease.
Finlay kept his hair cut short, but
that didn't make any difference
Then he tried dyes, but they only
made lnatte~s worso~ Then hy
got wig, and this covered up
the dcformity; but sometimes at
church he would get asleep, and
the wig would fall off and make
the children cry. Once at the
county fair he fell asleep and the
wig dropped off, and the Commit
tee on Domestic Goods, when they
came around, stood in front Of
of Finlay's head for some five
minutes in rapt delight. They
then Immediately decided that it
was the most ingenious piece OF
patchwork in the list, and never
discovered the mistake unit! they
attempted to pin the premium
card to it. At that Finlay awoke
aud knocked down the chairman
Of the committee, and chased the
others out Of The building. We
hope those New Haven doctors
have been more particular, as it /:
not subject to triae with.

All me! how the dreary rain,
With slow persistence all day long,
Dipped on The window pane!
The chamber was weird with shadows,
And dark with the deepening gloom,
Where sou in your royal wonanhood
Lay waiting for the tomb!
They had ro5ed You all in white, love,
In your hair vas single rose;
A marble rose it might we'll have been,
In its cold and still repose!
0, paler than yonder carven saint,
And calm as the angels are,
You seemed so near me, my beloved,
Yet We're, alas, 80 far!
do not know if I wept, love,
Bat my soul rose up and said:
"My heart shall speak INTO her heart,
Though here she is lying-dcad!
I viii give her last loye-token
That shall be TO her sign
In the dark grave-or beyond i'll
OF this dealhiess love Of mine"
So sought me little scroll, love,
And thereon il eager haste,
Lest another's eye should read them,
Some mystic words traced. -.-.
Thea close in your clasped fingers,
.. Close in yopr waxeD hand,
u place the scroll as an amulet,
Sure yop would understand!
The secret IS yours and m inc, love!
Only we two may know
What words shone clear in the darkness
ofyour grave SO green and low.
But If, when ge meet hereafter ..
IN the dawn Of a Elirer day,
You whisper those mystical words. love,
It is all would have you say!
