HOW BIRDS LEARN TO SING AND
RUILD

What is instinctf 1t is the "fsculty Of perform
ing complex acts absolutely without instruction
or previously acquired knowledge" Instinct,
then, would enable animals to perform spontane-
ously acts which, in the case Of man, presuppose
rattocination, or logical train Of thought. But
when We test the observed facts which are sually
put forward to prove the power Of instinct, It 10
found that they are seldom conclusive. 1t was on
such grounds that the songs Of birds were taken
70 be innate, albeit very ready experiment would
have shown that they result from the education
they receive. During the last century Barring
ton brought up some linnets taken from q nest
in the company Of larks OF sundry varieties,
and found that every one Of the linnets adopted
completely the song Of the master set over him;
so that now these linnets-larks by naturaliza-
tion-form q company apart when placed among
birds Of their own species. Even the nightingale,
whose native song 70 so sweet, exhibits under do
mestication o considerable readiness to initiate
other singing birds The song Of the bird II, there
fore, determined by its education; and the same
thing must be true "a TO nestbuilding. A bird
brought up in o cage does not construct the nest
peculiar to its species. In vain will you supply
all the necessary material. The bird VIII employ
them without skill, and will oftentimee even re-
nounce all purpose Of building anything like q
nest. Does not this well-known fact prove that,
instead Of being guided by instinct the bird learns
how to construct his nest, Just as man learns
how To build house7

VJNHE COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro, N. c., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in the
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are Of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States while it is confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideratlop
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci.
dentally broken at any time we can replace 1t at
The mere cost of casting. Not simply because 1t
is home production, button account OF its intrin-
sic merits as an article Of household economy, do
we ask the.patronage of home purchasers. More

THE LITTLE CIRCUS GIRL.

"Mother, there is a beautiful little girl 60,
ing to- act in the circus" said Lottie to her
mother. "She is only nine years old, and yet
she can do the most wonderful things. She
can jump the rope on horseback, and fly
through rings like fairy, and ever so many
other tricks How should like to see her. %
81 am so glad she is not my little girl, "
said mother, as she looked fondly at her own
darling nine years old daughter. 81 should
never have the heart to torture child of
mine into learning such feats. No child
would take to such things naturally. She is
probably compelled to practice for hours every
day these tiresome lessons, and there are a
dozen falls to one success for long time.
Worse than this, she is probably treated with
great harshness, as is the custom almost al
ways, in training these children for such per-
formances"
20, here comes Silas Cole, mother he went
to the circus last evening. lam going to ask
him about this little girl and see if he thinks
she looks happy"
'"Happy," said Silas in answer to her que
ries, 81 Should think not. The poor child fell
from her horse three times, and the last time
she seemed to be much hurt. Her mother
looked at her with scowl that promised
a severe beating, if nothing more. The au.
dience cried out take her off, They did not
wish to see the child hurt. The manager, too,
urged the woman to let the child off, But
the mother said no, she should not leave
until she had accomplished those feats. l
should not have liked to be in that woman's
clutches myself pitied the poor child"
"One of my strongest objections to the cir
Gus, Silas, is that it is so hardening to the
heart. 1t is not right to encourage such a
line of business.
II thought of what you said, Mrs. Akin,
about that and it spoiled half my pleasure
I do not think I shall care to 60 again" ,
II hope you will make the resolution, and
then hold fast to it."
The next week a paragraph in the papers
helped still more to confirm Mrs. Akin IN
her belief in the hard-heartedness OF those who
give their lives to the business.
The same troupe we're exhibiting in town
not far distant and this poor child was again
forced to perform the feats she was put poorly
prepared to accomplish. A slight mls'step
and the little girl fell backward from her horse
and broke her neck, dying instantly. Such
instances frequently occur, though the COM
pany always endeavor to smooth over the
matter, and not have it get about. They do
not stop the performance for 80 small
matter as the sudden death of a performer.
Anything that tends to produce such a
state of mind and heart cannot be right. Nor
can it be right for others to encourage and
help sustain such institutions.

For Us.-"What was written aforetime
was written for our learning" says the Apos.
tie. While holy men Of God were moved OF
old to write with reference to the spiritual
wants of their own times, their writings are as
full of instruction. comfort and quickening
now as they were then. We should, there
FORE consider them as addressed to ourselves,
as fraught with the sagest counsels, and take
heed thereto, and have them "dwell in US
richly in all wisdom" Iti blessed thought
observes one, that the words of the Bible were
written for us, that the Spirit of God looked
along the ages, and saw that in such an event
or circumstance of life, we should need just
such counsel and help. And then he inspired
pen to write it down. Not for our good
only, but for thousands who have gone before
and who will come after. No promise is there
but has been proved thousands of times. No
warning, but many have taken it home.
II is like good chart, which has every
thing on it that mariner in any seas may
need. Its truths never wear out. Says one
who has been deep student of it, "The Bl-
BILE will bear thousand readings, and the
man who has gone over it the most frequent
ly and carefully is the surest of finding new
wonders there"

(Original.]
NO INFLUENCE.

There are a vast multitude of the human
family who excuse themselves for not doing
anything to advance the cause of the gospel
by saying they have no influence. This,
were it true, would be good and valid
reason. God does not require US to do i'm
possible things. No man will be called to
account for talents which he never received.
A human being with no influence, either for
good or evil, is an idiot Mind acts upon
mind with as much certainty as iron sharp
eneth iron. There are few, if any, of the hu-
man family who would be willing to be cassed
with idiots. The simple truth is, those who
say-and it may be, in some instances think
they are destitute of any influence over others
for good, are either entirely destitute of re-
ligion, or it is like the seed sown among
thorns-choked by the cares Of this world.
1t is true that some men have no power to
persuade others to cease to do evil and learn
to do we'll, because they have sacrificed the
power. Their lives and professions are a
contradiction. They say one thing and do
another. The influence Of such persons is
often very powerful on the side of evil. The
example of the professed Christian is that
which gives him his influence The man
that never prays need not exhort others to
pray. The man that gets drunk every time
he happens where Intoxicating liquors are
kept, will have but little influence in causing
others to live lives of sobriety. The man
who gives nothing for the support of the gos-
pei at home, will have but poor success in
persuading others to send it to the heather.
As a general rule, we may conclude that
if we are unable to influence no one to live
life of faith on the Son of God, either we are
at heart no Christian ourselves, or our heart
and conduct do not agree. Cesar said that
a general who was unable to control his men,
was either unfit to command an army, or by
some act, had lost the confidence of his men.
So it is with the profe$sed Christian. If he
has ne influence over any one for good, he
is either an unconverted man, or by some
unchristian act, has forfeited the confidence
of his fellow-men.

WORTH KEEp1NG.-Iti is said that a small
piece of rosin dipped in the water which is
placed in vessel on the stove, will add Pc
culiar property to the atmosphere of the room,
which will give great reliefto persons troubled
with coug gh. The heat of the water is suf-
fcient to throw off the aroma of the rosin,
and gives the same relief as is afforded by a
combustion Of the rosin. 1t is preferable to
the combustion, because the evaporation is
more durable. The same rosin may be used
for weeks.

HORSE NoTEs.-A saddle put on loosely,
with slack girth, is very irritating to horse,
and soon produces sore back.
A horse left uncovered when not in exercise
will soon grow heavy coat of coarse hair.
This becomes hindrance to rapid motion,
and should be prevented by judicious blank
citing.
