A BROKEN HEARTED r o os TER
Thomas Roache, keeper of chicken
rancho on the old San Jose road pur-
chased, several months ago, lot of fine
cropple crowns, which he kept aloof
from the less aristocratic fowls of the
small yard. The chief of this family
was large black bird of exceedingly
naughty disposition. He was monarch
of all he surveyed till about week a.
90, when Roach procured white bird
of the same breed and turned it into the
yard of the cropplescrowns. The two
male birds Immediately joined in battle
which after gallant display of courage
by both contestants, resulted in the der
feat of the black cropple. The unsuc-
sessful bird took its defeat sorely at
heart. In fact, life was no longer worth
possessing since honor had departed
The bird was seen trying to kill itself
with its own spurs. Not succeeding, it
tried to jam its head under a gait, but
again failed. 1t flew upon barrel half
filed with rain water, and, carefully
surveying the situation, plunged into
the cask. Roach ran ont and found the
bird With its wings closely folded to its
side, its beak open, and apparently en-
deavoring to repress the natural strug>
giles of self preservation. 1t was speed
lily rescued from IFS dangerous situation.
but it refused to take any further inter-
est in life, and after few days of men~
tai torture and physical suffering it
died.

We envy not the rfIncsly man,

Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up the hill of down;
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold,
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones Of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn,
We sow-we reap the golden grain
We gather in the Corn;
We toil-we live on what we earn.
And more than this we do
We hear of starving millions round,
And gladly feed thena too,
The lawyer lives on princely fees.

When Mr.. Mellen went home he
