Seeking a Teacher for Linda.

half an hour before school opened. She had
Linda with her. She was 4 tall woman
forty years old, with jaw showing great de.

rather shy and pretty good.lookiug. The
mother said she hadn't been in the city long,
and that it was her duty to get Linda into
school and see that she was properly educa-

him without either. since this time he has
gone in and out az his pleasure. Days and
weeks, nay, months have passed with this
outgoing and incoming he is very polite
little fellow, each morning before leaving the
window sill he makes q bow a. prettily as
possible, and says Ia his own sweet language
"good morning, thank you for your kindness,
Iii come back TO you" and with one excep-
ton he has always been as good as his word
About six weeks ago he went out as usual,
and stayed away Eve days and Eve nights
too. Need | tell you that after the FIRST
day or two we watched for him every hour,
last thing at night aud first thing in the
morning, but no little bird. We felt sad
aud sorrowful, for he had become as one Of
the family; we conjeotured every thing and
came to two conclusions, one was that he had
fallen into bad company aud had been enticed
away, or that he was shot, and yet We hoped
that he would return with the leaves in
spring time. Happily he did not wait &C
long. At the end Of the 9Th day back h
came. Such rejoicing you never saw. HI
did as much talking as anybody.
The cemetery has az enchantment for him
and on the top Of yonder spruce tree he vii
sit like sentinel watching over the dead
and sing his morning praise.
Do we hear some one say II is bad omen
Nay we think not so but a good one,
conveys to our minds delight Of confidence
and hope. We cannot tell you how mucl
we like this little stranger. His history ",
cannot tell. He may have come from wood
adjacent, or possibly from the hills beyon'
the sea, il matters not, we are glad to Civ
him home, and the fact Of his staying witt
US is a guarantee Of his appreciation.
Now winter is fairly upon US; it is nc
convenient TO leave windows open, 20 he cor

manufacture of Ridges food for th

MY PRESIDE.

Across the snowy fields tonight
There is shining many light
From cottage low or mansion tall
While toiling home note them all
But none there Is of all l see
That shines like one that's set for me.
No fire is blazing half so clear
As that on our own hearthstone dear
No home that looks so sweet to me
As that beneath my.own roof tree
And eager on I forward press
TO my Preside and happiness.
Ofall the homes along my way,
Ipass by night or yet by day,
None hath to me the home like cheer
A that ofmy own cottage here's
And better far is sweet content
Than all the other blessings sent.
Then pile anew the blazing hearth,
As roars the wind in iltful wrath,
And trim anew the lamp full we'll
To light home where pleasures dwell,
And summer glow or winter snow,
Time moveth none too fast or slow.
