The Enmity Between Swans and Geese.

Touching this enmity between the
swans and the geese, it is curious to see
how the long feud varies In the spring the
swans are victorious The male plunges
through the water at the geese directly
they appear, and single handed, sends
them all flying off with screams More
over, it will follow them far ashore hunt
ing them some 200 yards up the com
mon, which pasture retains the name it
had before Enclosure. Some two years
ago | had not been home for twelve
months. Before ! left there had been
great contests between the swan and the
gander out on the grass, and on driving
in by the gate at the top Of the common
on my return after years absence
there they were in the same place pound
ing and Tapping away at one another as
if they had not stopped since saw them
last Nor do | suppose that there had
been but a short truce, which generally
arrives in the severe part of the winter.
Then all, friends and foes, come up TO
the house to be fed. In the autumn the
war does not cease though the tables
are turned, Then the gander gets tenn
porary -emincnce. For a time the
efforts of the swan to drive OIL the geese
grow fainter. He will come plungln9 up
10 the feet Of geese, which eyadc HIM
and swim further out. Presently they
all set up a war scream, and the old gan
der, with his neck as straight as ruler,
sallies out, challenging the swan to
single combat That is accepted. The
other day write in September saw
such a duel The birds laid hold OF each
other by the throat, and there was a ire
mcndous splashing and pothcr The
gander drew off after some three or four
minutes OF this intimate wrcstIe. But
if he follows the precedent Of former
years he will soon win a victory, as thus:
He will get on the swans back, between
his wings, and peg away at the nap OF
his neck, the swan swimming away furi-
ously all the time, until at last Mr.
Gander gets off, returns TO his ilock'
which set up monstrous chorus OF re-
joicing, and congratulates himself on the
first victory OF the period in which be
remains the masrer-ChaHbers' Jour7tat.

Presence or Mind.

On Tuesday, woman, who resides at
Ferry village, and who comes to the city
frequently To assist families ia their
housecleani pg, started to return to the
Cape in the evening, but was too late to
catch the last ferry boat. Although a
young woman Of considerable personal
attraction, she is not devoid Of pluck, and
she determined to walk home by way Of
Portland bridge. The hour was late, be-
tween ten and eleven, but the woman
trudged along, carrying a large bundle
that had been given her by the family
with whom she had been working. AS
she passed the little clump Of woods on
he crossroad that connects the Cape
Elizabeth road with Ferry village, man
suddenly stepped forth with the remark

Morbid Impulse as a disease.

PROF. HAMMOND recently delivered a
lecture upon the above subject before the
New York Medico-Legal Society. The
paper consisted chiefly of recital OF
cases Of morbid impulse that had come
under the observation of Prof Hammond,
without any especially elaborate analysis
Of the disease. HI. laid down the propo,
sition, however, 1hat observers could
never be sure that those afflicted with
this tendency had exercised all their will
power in resisting IT. In referring to the
several cases that had come under his
observation, Prof Hammond mentioned
one instance of young man who told
him that he felt impelled by an irressti-
bic power to kin his friend He had
even gone so far as to put some strychnine
in mug of ale which he had invited him
to drink. However, as his friend was
about to drink the ale, he knocked it out

4 song OF THREE WORDS.

CRANE LABoRAgE ET cANTARE.
Three blissful words name to thee,
Three words of potent charm,
From eating care thy heart 10 free,
Thy life TO shield from harm.
Who SO these blissful words may know,
A bold. blithe-fronted face shall show,
And suod with peace, shall safely go
Through war and wild alarm.
First. ere thy forward foot thou move,
And WELD thy arm of might,
Lift up thine heart to Him above
That all thy ways be right.
To the prime source of life and power
Let thy soul rise, even rs Hover
That skyward climbs in sunny hour,
And seeks the genial light.
Then grid thy loins to manly toll,
And in the toll have joy;
Greet hardship with willing smile,
And love the stern employ.
Thy glory this the harsh to tame.
And by wise stroke and technic flame,
In God labor's fruitful name,
Old Chaos to destroy.
Then. mid thy workshops dusty din,
Where Titan steam hath sway,
Groom TO myself a song within,
Or pour the lusty lay;
Even as a bird that CHEEKY sings
In narrow cage, nor irets us WINGS
But with full-breasted joyance filings
Its soul into the day.
For lofty things let others Drive
With roll of vauntful drum;
Keep thou thy heart honeyed hive,
Like bee with busy hum.
Chase not the bliss with wishful eyes
That ever lures and ever flies,
But in the present JOY be wise,
And let the future comel

Guyot is lying on the couch, and the old
doctor is at Jacques side.

would gladly have seen you and Annette
married before my death; but Heavens
will be done" The son did not reply.
He knelt by the bedside, and held his

Since your illness, the year of the last

character You have grown melancholy,

Der my last request Jacques; remember
your duty to Annette"
In a few days all was over, and the
young man was alone in the world; and
yet why should he remain so? He had a
comfortable house to live in; and his
prospects we're better than those of his
class, for he was both industrious and
economical. In fact, he was already
known as penurious; and people said he
was constantly growing like his uncle
in old miser who had lived in a garnet
for fifty years, and died very rich, before
Jacques was born.

was entering the house in company with

"of course he is. And he will soon be-

he is now employed. Guyot is slow,
timid fellow, who will never be worth
anything, because he is afraid to branch
out"
Uncle" said Annette, coming into the
room, have almost made up my mind
that you are right. Jacques is so slow,
and says he cannot afford to be married
for year or two. The other girls are
all getting married; and they say am a
fool to he so patient"
Whenever you do make up your mind,
just let us know, said the uncle, sternly.
Not long after, Jacques received the
following note:
DEAR SrR-Our patience Is exhausted. An
nette wishes me TO say that your last converse
ton with her has brought her to decision; and
that your visits will be no longer agreeable, UNI
less you conclude to be married during the pres
ent year. Very truly yours,

lounge.

"Hcre comes old dry-bonesw cried a
ragged boy to his mates as they were at
play by the roadside. 1t was a good
many years after Annette's marriage.
Give it to him." shouted another, as
he picked up "a handful of mud, and, after
rolling it into a ball, threw it at an old
man as he was passing by At this the
boys all began to follow the example of
their leader. Some threw sticks; some
sand and dirt and one or two sent stones

the lads. Mamma says he is"
" He is too mean and stingy to live"
said one boy, better dressed than the
others. My grandmother says he
starved his mother fifty years ago, and
has hated everybody ever since"
A crowd of urchins had now gathered
around the old man, and some of them
had picked up long sticks, with which
they annoyed him. One lad Knocked of
bis hat; and, as the man stopped to pick
il up, the welldressed boy struck his
cane and knocked it into the gutter Sew
er2l dogs were in the crowd; and the
boys set them on the old man. At this
juncture a carriage came up and in 1t
there were two young ladies, man in
prime of life, and an old lady.
Papa said one of the girls, can't
you make those rude boys let the poor
man alone?" The gentleman looked out
of the window, and said: " For shame,
lads, to trouble a helpless old man"

voices. The old lady looked out and eX-
claimed:
