And away she went, with the children

And away she went, with the children
behind her.
After they had got safely away, such a
chattering and commotion as there was
in the woods!
Brown-bird, swinging upon twig, said:
Squirrel, / consider you both polite
and kind wish there were more like
youP
"Don't mention it'll" said Squirrel,
quite embarrassed, and he ran away.
Little Brown-bird flew futtering to her
nest, and bugs and bees and idle birds
set to gossiping.
The little flowers nodded their dainty
heads, and all the forest leaves were 80
amused they shook their sides with laugh
ter; while the sunlight cleaned benignly
down, and said:
"My children, I am glad you are all
again happy."-St. Nicholas.
The Owl THAT THOUGHT He COULD
SING.-"What can bring the people into
the groves to hear those nightingales
sing" said an owlet to his mother.
The old owl didn't know, neither did
she care-she was very busy watching
bat.
81 am sure / have as fine voice as a
nightingale, and far stronger"
"Stronger, certainly, my son." said his
mother, with blink, for the bat had es-
capped.
'Well, I shall 90 into the grove to-
night, and give them song" said the
owlet.
The owl opened her round eyes very
wide, but said nothing.
Accordingly, when night came, and
the hour for the sweet trilling of the sing
ing birds drew near, he flew heavily
along, and placed himself in conspicu-
Gus part of the grove, that he might be
seen and heard to a proper advantage.
Now, the nightingales did not by any
means admire the prospect either of his
company or his cooperation in their
concert; 80 those who were bent Oh sing
ing sought another grove, while those
that were content to be quiet for the
night kept snugly at roOst.
"Where can the nightingales be to-
night?" said the people who came to hear
them.
Upon this the owlet set up hoot so
loud that it nearly frightened them into
fits.
ludI CTtdIuTc Has IcTTillcu tucIu, anu
scared them away" said one. "I'll soon
dispatch him; where's my gun?'
But the owlet took the hint, and before
the gun came he had got back to his
mother.
"Your feathers are rufled, my son.
Have you been singing"
The owlet reluctantly related his dis
grace and narrow escape.
at is just what expected, and / am
glad you are safe back"
"Then why did you let me go?" said
the owlet, angrily.
Because l was sure it was point on
which nothing but experience could con-
vince you. l don't understand music,
and can not tell why people should take
the trouble to go and hear nightingales
sing, and at the same time shoot owls for
hooting, but / know it is 80. There is
much difference in our voices, which l
can myself discern every tine l hoot.
Ours may be superior, for anything l
know but as the prejudice of TIE pub
lie mind is strongly on the other side, l
shouldn't think of disputing the point.
And, probably, now that you have expe-
rienced the effect of your performance
on their ears, you will be satisfied, with
me, to leave them alone in their mis-
take"

As 9 proof that the idolatry of Japan
is shaken TO its foundations, it is said
that the beautiful temples, which are
thickly scattered over the land, are little
cared for, and are rapidly going to decay.
A missionary remarks that during his
many visits to these places Of worship he
had seen and heard much to make him
believe that the religion Of japan is fast
losing its hold on the hearts Of the peo
pie, and that they are willing, as soon az
the government encourages the step, "a

IT behooves us always to bear in mind,
that while actions are always to. be
Judged by the immutable standard oi
right and wrong, the judgments which
we pass upon men must be qualified by
age, country, and other accidental cir.
cumstances; and it will then be found
that he who is most charitable in his
judgment is generally the least unjust

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
ROlDOlluk,

BObOllnk.
BY MRS. CLARA D0TY BATES.
Did you ever listen, and think,
That the little b0bolink
Is very noisy bird ON a summer day?
Down In the rosy clover,
Shouting his nonsense over,
TrAing with giddy neighbors the thoughtless hours
away.
The redolent air all round
Rings with the merry sound,
Twtter and weet and chirrup and chatter and sing,
Whistle and gossip and call,
So do they babble all,
Part OF the time grass-hdden, part OF the time on
the wing.
Yet I'd rather hear by half
The little girl, G0ld-Locks, laugh,
Rather than thrush orioe, rather than bObolink
Would you know the reason why,
can only make reply,
That In the midst OF her music she sometimes stops
to think.
-YOsah's COMPANION.

 THE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in its course. under no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at hcarl first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of it's duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon it's own merits as a local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily SUD- port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as its patronage will justify Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on ly fools or enemies expect a degree of excellence in all points that car alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.
