The Language Of Fowls.

Is there any one who keeps fowls who
has not noticed the great variety of sounds
they make, expressive of their feelings?
1t amounts almost, if not quite, to
language; probably more so than any
other creature except man. Even the
meditation of noises made is very signifi-
cant of meaning. First, there is the pip
ing of the little chick, calling for the care
OF its stately mother who continually
keeps answering with the assuring
"cluck, cluck." As the chick grows a
little older, the piping is succeeded by
chirrup; then there is the trilling song of
pleasure they make under their mothers
wing when sitting down to rest; but Just
put your hand under the neither and pull
out one of the little chicks, and hear its
cry OF terror, mingled with the defiance
and abuse Of its parent. Throw large
beetle into their coop, and hear the con.
sternation uttered by all the little family,
mingled with the warning voice Ut their
matron. Now, throw them some dainty
bit, and hear how soon her voice changes;
her children understand there is some.
thing extra nice for them by her peculiar
defamation, which brings in all stragglers
in a great hurry. How we'll the little
things comprehend the peculiar cry of
their mother in case of danger, such as
the approach of cats or hawks; or let q
little struggling waif peep into the coop,
and hear her timely warning to keep out.
1c the course of time the mother tires of
her charge, and gives her children the
slip, who express their forlorn feelings
by a whining cry, while hunting around
for her. In due time the young gentle
man chick tries his voice at crow.
Could any one ever believe that such
stammering, such straining and croaking,
would ever reach the clear, rich song,
that has been celebrated in the history
and the poetry of all the great nations of
the earth, and caused 80 many great
awakenings" in all classes of society :?
Soon be begins to feel gallant, and if, by
chance, he finds some rare bit, he calls
some of the nearest bellies to partake of it,
but they frequently arrive just in time to
see him bolt it himself. One of the next
musical strains is the prating of pullets
when they feel happy and we'll; then
there is the alarm, when startled by any,
thing strange; also the shrill cry raised
by all, should hawk appear. Another
peculiar noise is made when you approach
their rOosts at night, uttered and answered
all round-a slight, trllling noise, as
mach as to say, bark! what's that strange
noise!-which is deepened into a sharp
tut-tut, if danger is suspected, and into a
shrill, piercing cry, if taken from their
perches, evidently suspecting that you
may be thinking of chicken pot-pie? I
think there is no domestic animal that has
a less offensive voice than the domestic
fowl. 1t will compare favorably with the
voice of the duck, turkey, guinea fowl,
they set up the cry, Come! Come! Come!
Take the egg."'-Henry Hales, in Poultry

this is not the object ! had in telling this,
but simply to urge upon t1iGee who think
that bees should never be disturbed, the
Importance of ascertaining whether
they need assistance or not. In the
case referred to, the bees could not have
removed the rubbish, however annoying
it must have been to the little laborers,
whose strength is limited, except in self:
defense. They undoubtedly, in some
cases, throw dead bees and other filth from
the hives, but they do not always do 1t,
even when they are strong in numbers
and rich in stores. I have seen many
colonies this year which had dead bees
still clinging In the comb, where they had
died last winter or spring, and, contrary
to our general supposition, had not been
removed by the living bees. Whether the
honey came earlier in flowers, and they
considered their time demanded III the
field or not, We cannot tell, but suppose
the labor requisite for house cleaning must
have been beyond their liabilities, as they are
supposed to have just estimate of what
they can perform. In raising brood, they
have such correct estimates of their
strength and capacities that the increase
Of honey will cause the queen TO lay more
eggs, or decrease of honey will cause
her to diminish the quantity. And in
cases where dearth of honey comes sud-
denly, from drouth, or grasshoppers, or
other cause, bees have been known to de-
stroy some of their brood, where they had
more than they could feed and take good
care of.
The bee keeper should always carefully
examine his bees in spring, and remove
all dead bees Tor anything else which may
become offensive) from the hives. Some
times it is best to remove moldy combs as
worthless, although the bees sometimes

DIR. ScHENcK's PuLMoN1c SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE P11Ls.-These med
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures OF
Consumption than any DINER remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vese-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and If taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great injury;
for its tendency is to conne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, must make a cure
impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain particle of opium. 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach an6 blood, md
thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all
the diseas ed matter from the body These are the
only cans by which Consumption can be cured
and, as Schenck's Pulmopic Syrup Sea Weed

ADAUGHTER's DEVOTION.
What William Butler Duncan's
Daughter has Done for
Her Father.
~. o0rrasp0ndeaee chlesgo yoarnal.

n. Y. Correspondence Chicago Journal.
Not a little sympathy is felt and
expressed for William Butler Dun
can in his misfortunes, notwithstand
ing his firm made such bad failure
and sunk the money of so many
people who could lily afford to lose
it. Though he is the subject of so
much severe criticism, he retains
the respect and confidence of his
friends and neighbors on Staten
Island, where he contributed so
much for public and charitable pur-
poses, and where he was so univer-
sally esteemed and admired as
large hearted and public spirited
citizen.
A touching incident recently tran
spired which must have quite over
come Mr.. Duncan. For two or three
years, during tue summer months,
drivers and equestrians here met,
on the public throughfares of Staten
Island, a young lady equestrian, &C
companied by an orderly, whose
elegant figure and superb horseman-
ship elected general admiration.
She had everything, from infancy,
that heart could wish and was sup
posed, by those who knew nothing
to the contrary, to be gay butter
fly of fashion. But how mistaken
the impression! Soon after the
suspension Of the firm, unbeknown
to her family, she undertook the
translation of a work which was
attracting not a little attention in
Germany. Secretly she kept at her
task, night and day. When it was
completed, she went alone to the
largest publishers in the city, sub
mitted her manuscript for inspec-
ton, and, a few days later, made
a contract for the publication of
the volume. When the first copy
was printed she placed it in her
fathers hands, and telling him what
she had done, expressed the hope
that she could contribute something
toward relieving his financial trou-
bles. The translation has proven a
decided success. 1t has met with
a large sale, and the royalty already
paid to the devoted daughter has
amounted to a considerable sum.
What an example is this for daugh-
tiers, who reared in wealth and lux
ury, are suddenly reduced to a po-
sition of comparative poverty.
Whata mountain load could wives
and children remove from unfortu-
nate fathers, if instead Of moping
and repining under adversely, they
should with willing hearts and will
ing hands render any and every
assistance in their power.

Married Female Teachers.

The public school circles ia this
city are agitated by the question,
''Shall married women be employed
as teachers?" At first view, it
seems to be question with only
one side to it, and that married wo
men are just as suitable teachers as
married men. 1t may be so. But
the directors are at no loss to find
grave arguments against their en-
ployment, and these are urged with
SO much feeling and force, that the
subject has become exciting. As
the natural right of married women
to such positions is obvious, it is
necessary only to state some of the
objections.
1. Married women have husbands
whose duty it is to support them ;
their employment as teachers de-
prives dependent single women OF
the situations for which they have
been qualified in the Normal
Schools.
.. Married women are necessari-
" often unable to discharge their
duties at school, the higher law of
maternity compelling them to be at
home.
3. The order of nature is that
women should, on assuming the
marriage relation. devote them
selves to domestic and social cares,
and not to public avocations which
look to the support of the husband
and children.
Perhaps these three observations
suggest the line of objection to mar
ried women as teachers. Many
minor matters might be mentioned,
but it is evidently the old, or rather
the modern question of woman's
sphere. To lay down a rule on the
subject is too difficult. The family
is the school in which a married
woman should teach. A husband
is bound to provide for the sup
port of his wife. No husband, with
right views, will have his wife in a
pubic school, unless dire necessity
compels her TO feed and clothe him.
But there are cases where the bur
den falls on the wife, and there is
no work more fitted to her nature,
taste and power than that of teach
ing.
Therefore we would make no rule
denying the appointment of women
as teachers in public schools,b but we
would discourage such employment,
never permitting it where the married
woman has a husband able to sup
port her, and in general giving the
preference to single women equally
qualified for the post.
This is not a world in which we can
have everything just as we would
like to have it. Society has its
qualities, and we must take things
as they come and try to make the
best of them. Few married women
willingly leave home for tOork
When they do, it is fair to suppose
that stern necessity compels the
service.-TN. Y. Observer.
