THE LITTLE BIRD.

A little bird, with feathers brown,
Sits singing on tree;
The song was very soft and low,
But sweet as it could be.
And all the people passing by,
Looked up to see the bird
That made the sweetest melody
That ever they had heard.
But all the bright eyes looked in vain,
For birdie was SO small,
And with a modest dark brown coat,
lie made no show at all.
"Why, papa little Oracle said,
"Whcrc can this birdie be?
If could sing song like that
I'd sit where folks could scc'
II hope my little Girl will learn
4 lesson from that bird,
And try to do what good she call
Not to be seen or heard
This birdie is content TO sit
Unnoticcd by the way,
And swcctly sing his makers praise
From dawn to close OF day.
$50 live, my child, all through your If,
That hc It short or long,
Though others may forget yoHr looks,
They II not forget your song

A Professors Joke on Himself.
Cornell University Era.

A few days since one of the professors
perpetrated a practical joke upon himself
worthy to be cherished in the archives OF
the institution. He had occasion to visit
small closet in which the janitOr keeps
his tools. situated IND the basefnent.e near
the engine. Not Wishing to be disturbed
while there he locked himself in and
slipped the key in his pocket. During
his manipulations he forgot that he had
the key in his possession, and upon try
ing to get out imagined himself the vic
tim of some malicious physicist. He
waited some time for his tormentOr TO
repent and then became exasperated.
He pounded the door. kicked, wept and
swore through the keyhole. but in vain.
The janitor had gone down town, and
there was none TO heed his cry. In the
course Of the afternoon he returned, and
accidently discovered the mighty fallen
into sullen fit of distrust, and destitute
of all confidence in humanity. When
the professor sat down to his newspaper
after supper that evening, and, happen
Ing to put his hand in his pocket, found
the key to that closet, he Immediately
went into the back yard and ran wheel
barrow back and forth over himself for
half an hour.

A diet of arsenic, it seems, is nothing
at all after you get used.to it. There is a
little girl in Whitehall, who eats it and
cries for it. The fame of her singular
appetite has spread all around the region
OF the little end OF lake Champlain. and
the editor of the WHITEHALL Times has
been interviewing her personally. The
father, Mr.. Flagg, proceeded to feed his
daughter her regular arsenic in the pres
ence of the editor. Hereupon the father
took from his pocket a ginger snap, and
upon this he sprlnklel a grain of arsenic.
He then handed the cake to Mary. The
delight with which the child deyoured il
was simply horribly ravenous. After
devouring the cake, Mary asked for

realize that the child before us was a re-
markable exception to the general rule.
We noticed great flush of the cheeks. a
bright sparkle of the eye, and general
briiliancy of the whole countenailee.v She
seemed like one transfOrmed.z The strange
metamorphosis was indeed startling. She
