The Boy AND THE BIRD-A FABLE
One day while a young boy was walking
in the field he found a wounded bird,
which being too much injured to fly
away. suffered itself to be caught and
carried home by its finder in triumph.
Being kind-hearted boy, he tenderly
cared for the bird until its broken wing
was well again. He taught the bird to
sing and to do many wonderful things,
and became at last very much attached
to it. One day while the window was
open the bird suddenly huttered its
light wings and flew out of the house,
ahghting in an adjoining tree, and de-
lighted with its newly-acquired freedom
1t refused every inducementits late mas
ter could offer it to return, and with a
shrill chirp, that seemed to say, "catch
me if you can," it flew away into the
summer air and was soon out of sight.
The summer months passed away and
the autumn came, the leaves grew Grim
son and golden and dropped one by one
from the branches. The bleak winds
swept them away. Then the air grew
cold and cheerless and the first snow
flakes began to fall, and the wintry
winds began to sigh over the barren
fields and about the chimney tops.
The boy stood again by the open
window, warmly and comfortably clad,
gazing with admiration at the newly
fallen snow. Suddenly his attention
was attracted by faint chirp near at
hand, and looking in the direction of
the sound, he saw his truant pet half
chilled with cold. He called to it gladly
and the bird timidly approached him, a
little distance at time, and at last
taking courage, it alighted on a bare
branch by the window, and from thence
flew into its masters hand. 1t was soon
back in its cage again in the kitchen
corner singing its old songs, safe from
the cold.
Morat chickens invariably
come home TO roost. The bad young
boy and the foolish girl who leave
happy and comfortable home, when
circumstances seem bright and fair, are
glad enough to return again, when win
ter comes and adversity overtakes them.

lovers quarrel between a Young actress
named krama, better known as Fraulein Re-
mark, and her lover, the actor Schumann
which occurred in Austria few DAYS since
was followed by very sad consequences For
some weeks before, the dlsagreem ents betw cen
the two had been frequent. Miss Kramer M de
atte mpts to Kill herself, trst by opening a vein
with knife, and then by drinking a solution OF
phosphorus matches in water. She was rescued
in time on both occasions. Three DAYS before
the final quarrel, after having had a dispute
with Schumann, she took revolver and rushed
into the street at night time, threatening to
shoot herself. Her maid prevailed upon her to
return to the house, and succeeded in calming
her. Finally three days later, the lovers had
short and apparently unimportant quarrel i'm
Inediately after which Miss Cramer killed her
self by pistol shot. Schumann was at once ia
ken into custody, because il was thought he
might have had some completely in the young
lady e death, and also to prevent hi from taxi
ing his own life, as he threatened to do. There
being no proof OF his completely, he was releas-
ed after he had become composed. All this &C.
Cured at Liatz. Schumann, after his release,
returned to Vienna to his fathers house,
karuthner Strasse. He passed the forenoon in
the family circle, where every effort was made
to divert him. About O'Clock in the after
noon he drew q small pocket pistol and shot
himself in the chest, saying, Just as he fired,
Dear one who has gone before, / keep nv
word" He died in few minutes after ex-
claiming "Jesus, Maria" ahd pressing his
right hand to his breast. The bullet had passed
through the breast blade, making a very small
hole, about the size of q pea He was well
known as an actor, although only twenty-six
years Of age. AS neither be nor Miss Kramer
left any writing, the motives which brought
about the tragedy remain unknown. The last
words OF Schumann give soma color 20 the con-
lecture that the two lovers had made mutual
resolution to die.

to respond with that given by the claimant

NOVEMBER METRoRs-O JSsrrdttons in Frdncs
The Paris Journal des Debats of the 18th saws
that at that date the French astronomers were
on the lookout for the annual recurrence of
meteors. other shooting stars were TO be ex-
pected on the 26th, 18th and 2sth of the present
month. Since the researches into the character
OF meteors made by the astronomer Schiapa-
rein, shooting stars have come to be considered
as the remains of comets which have become
shlyered in space, while comet itself is only a
shooting star on gigantic scale. Last year
upon the 18th OF November, the astronomers
we're looking for Biela's comet, which was due
at that time, but instead of the comet came a
rain of meteors across the skies, which were
counted by thousands. Frem this circumstance
1t was deduced that Biela's comet had sepa-
rated, taking the shape of shooting stars.
