CURIOUS STORY ABOUT A
HAWK.

A curious incident occurred few
days since a short distance from this
city. One of our Well-known mer-
chants had gone out on visit to
friend, at whose house there was a
bright little boy, and one day, to
please the child he manufactured a
very large kite. and. as the wind was
strong enough, the kite was raised
at once. After it had gone up near
Iy half a mile, a large crowd of
country people collected to admire it.
as such magnificent toy had never
been seen in that section before
While the spectators were admiring
it, very large hawk was seen to fiy
slowly out Of a neighboring grove
and 60 directly toward the kite. The
hawk approached within a few feet
of the strange looking object, and
then circied about under it for, per-
haps. five minutes, when he flew just
above it and again circled around
several times. Suddenly he hover
ed directly over the kite, and after
looking at it inrently for short time
darted downward, and striking the
paper, passed directly through the
kite, coming Out. on the under side.
After this strange experience, which
no doubt puzzled the hawk vastly,
he flew off short distance for refec-
ton, but still keeping the kite in
view. Not being disposed to give
it up SO, he quickly returned to the
charge, and this time fastened on the
long string of rags that were used as
tail to the kite, which he tore and
scattered in theair in a savage man
ner. Finding, however, no resist
ance on the part OF the kite. he be-
came Disguised or scared, and flew
away toward the woods from whence
he came. The gentleman says that
whenever the hawk made an attack
he would retreat little, as If he ex-
pected the strange bird was going to
return the assault.

HEBREW ROOTS AND PER
SIMMONS.

Is there anything in the study Of
Hebrew roots as a speciality in life
that affects the person so engaged.
We recall the idiosyncrasy of the
Rev. Prof Packard, Of the Theolog-
ical Seminary of the Episcopal
church in Virginia. He had just
come from New England, and had
never before seen the persimmon
grow. Those acquainted with this
singular fruit know we'll that it
attained a light orange color some
time before It is ripe, and that at
this time it is astringent to great
degree. The doctor was taking a
walk, and the glowing persimm, ms
looked very tempting: so he thought
he must for the first time taste the
fruit. Its effect upon the good
mans mouth was very astonishing,
and he Lecame convinced that he
had been eating the apples of Sodem
or some other very poisonous thing.
AT this moment two other professors
of the seminary fell in TO view the good
man, and were made quite solicitous
by his grimaces, which seemed to
indicate that he had been swallow
ing by accident some of his own
formidable roots. One ventured to
ask
"Docter, what have you been
taking?"
With manifest effort TO untwist
his badly puckered mouth, the prof
essor ejaculated,-
''Do-o-on speak TO me, but let
me go home and die In tie bosom of
my family!'
1t is painful to reflect that the
incident was often made the occasion
of merriment among the young
theologues, and it is even said that
one of them asked the president of
he faculty for permission to go
home. When further questioned
why he wanted to 60 home. he said
he had bad quicker in his mouth
and ,tomach. and besides didn't feel
well, and would like to be allowed to
die in the bosom of his family.
OF the complete discontinue which
betel the gravity of the president, it
is not possible to tell. -Harper's
Maga9iaae.
