LITTLE SNOW BIRD.
BY LAUREL.

----
High upon the hill top
Your sweet little voice is heard,
Chipping forth your music,
A happy little bird.
Down low in the valley
Hopping all around;
You are seen so busy
Wherever you are found.
Now | see you soaring,
High up IN the air;
Winds are blowing tierceiy,
Yet you need not fear.
You are placed among us,
Our poor hearts to cheer;
You are on your mission
Always, every year.
Winter cold and drcary,
Stormy blasts, how shrill;
Yet you always tell us,
That you're happy still:
Ice and snow all around us,
Freezing hil! and dell;
Yet your coat of pIumage
Keeps you warm and well.
Behold" says God our father,
The fowls up in the air;
They sow not, reap nor gather,
And yet they have his care.
o! may we lean lesson,
Contcntment, is preferred:
And thank our heavenly father,
For sending the snow bird.

TIE 10 YER s REVENGE.

I had been in Australia for about
five years, during which time l had
amassed a tolerablc fortune, when l
began to long to see the old country
again-a desire considerably strength
ened by the fact that the girl loved,
and who consented to be my wife, was
going to England, and I could not
bear the thought Of such an extent Of
ocean between us; so | determined to
go too and let the marriage take place
there.
May Brodstonc was the only daugh-
ter Of we'll to-do sluatter, and the
prettiest and incest girl for miles
around the station, though, until ]
had become acquainted with her,
rather fond Of bit of childish hirta-
ton. This was the worse for rae, as it
turned out.
Among her many admirers was one
Jacob Kiel. Dark haired, dark eyed,
dark complected, he was of that class
of men who feel strongly, and who
never forget an injury-likc the wild
cats, they are nasty customers to Of
fend. Well, May, I fear, hal hirted
somewhat with Jacob Kiel, who !
believed, loved the ground she walk
ed on, though she declared-and |
know it was true--that she had never
given him the lightest hope.
1t was about this time that I ap-
ncared upon the scene; and she dis
covered that she had found the right
man, as l had found the girl. May
Brod:tone instantly gave up all her
admirers, was as steady and quiet as
the gum tree, which no wind blows,
and finally said the "Yes' upon which
my happiness depended.

match would be a good one, and read

of its barrels into the lock of the
door shivering it to atoms, and the
next minute I was upon the deck
only Just in time, for the vessel was
settling fast. 1t would have settled
long before, but the storm had abated.
With a wild hope | looked for the
boats. Near or far, all was alike
darkness hid the waters. But having
succce eded so far, I resolved not to
despair. Oeo by one I discharged
the remaining barrels OF my revolver,
and then plunged into the sea, to
swim as far as / could from the ship
before it sank, hoping that I should
find some pieces of the wreck. I did
so, and before | had preceded very
far, found what had lesred-a mast,
with cordage attached. This helred
me for after lashing myself to the
mast as well as | could, the waves bore
me away. Suddenly, however, fear
full rush of water seized me. l was
drawn rapidly back and then down
as in a whirlpool - flung, it seemed,
here, there and everywhere - after
which | remembered no more. When
! came to, I was in with one Of the
boats with May Brodstone leaning
over me.
1t appeared that directly morning
dawncl, the boats were all together,
and the captain went over the names,
when mine was found missing; upon
which lie resolved to row back, and
see if he could not find me, urged
thereto by many of his companions,
who wondered-as did not Jacob Kiel
what could have prevented my get
ting into one Of the boats.

shining, and their search was not diff

be myself, c!inging like grim death to

like maniac. In fact was mad,
and for some time after they had
managed to get me into boat re-
NAMED so; then | became calmer,
though | was delirious for whole
dav and night.
Directly sensibility returned, l told
my story, filling every one with hor-
ror, especially May Bradston.
