A Pigeons Love.

A writer in the Scottish Naturalist
tells story Of pigeon, which illus
trates the truth of the saying that God
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,
and the higher power o: instinct promp-
ted by parental love. Two pigeons had
built their nests in the top story of the
dove-cote, and had Matched their young
which came out of the egg about the
middle of March 1876. On March l6, a
very severe stern of snow and snow
drift set in at dusk. Ii must be noticed
that the door of the dOve-cote looked TO
the northwest from whence the storm
was coming, so that the snow blew
right into the portal where the young
pigeons were lying; only a few days
old. The storm was very severe, so
much so that IL was thought to be the
hardest that had happened for many
years, and the young brood would have
perished but for the happy expedient
that the father of the pigeons adopted.
He stood in the doorway, with his tail
spread out to the storm, and the wings
in a fluttering position, evidently with
the intention of stopping the draught,
so as to shelter his naked offspring, and
there he stood for hours, with the snow
thick upon his back and tail, breaking
the intensity of the cold. But for this
the young must have died.

time that her brain was shocked, her
reason shattered. In the excess of her
joy her life had nearly paid the forfeit.
''Was my faith in vain:' she asked,
again and again.. "Are you not sorry
you doubted me? Did | not say God
would be with us?''

orous men for all he had lost. Jenny,
was presented with a beautiful silver |
pitcher, on which was wrought the |

GIotto's Ugliness and Good Humor.

Meagre as our information is, and
doubtful as we must be concerning
much of Giotto's history, something at
least we know of his person and char
acter which helps to make the great
| FlOrentine more than a mere name, and
serves to endear him to us with the
warmth and reality of a living being.
Little of stature, and ill-favored OF
countenance, Giotto's exterior ugliness
formed striking contrast to the beauty
of his mind, and was so evident that il
formed the constant subject of his
friends good humored jests, and is
often alluded to by contemporaries.
Beuvenuto da Imola tells lis that the
artists children were as ugly as him
self, and Petrarch and Boccaccio both
mention GiOtto as an instance of the
soul are frequently hidden in misshapen
forms. Eut under this repulsive eXte-
rior dwelt the kindliest heart and hap
piest disposition, and mind that, with
all its many-sided accomplishments,
was far too large to admit of the least
shade of selfish vanity. None of that
morbid melancholy which frequently
clouds the most gifted natures saddened
the life or darkened the soul of Giotto /;
on the contrary, he was endowed with
a large share of practical common sense,
that rare accompaniment of genius,
with shrewd intellect, and excellent
power of reasoning, along with the
keenest sense of humor and most I'M
failing Gghtness of heart No man
loved a joke better, or was quicker at
repartee, or more full of innocent fun /;
and countless are the amusing anec-
dotes, the mirthful sallies, and witty
sayings which dropped from Giotto's
lips and are repeated by his contempa-
raries and friends. Every one who has
heard the story of the courtier sent
from Rome by the Pope to inquire into
the merits of the respective artists; how
he entered Giotto's shop and asked for
a specimen of his drawing, and how
Giotto, taking up a sheet of paper and a
pencil, and setting his arm firmly
against his side, drew perfect circle at
one stroke and then handed the paper
to tine astonished Roman, saving. in
reply to his exclamation and question
if that was all, at is enough, and more
than enough ;"whence the saying, "Pia
toRdo che y o di Giotto," passed into a
common proverb in Tuscany. Charm
ing, again, is the picture left us by
Boecaecio in the DecdmeroRe, of the lit
tie, ill-favored painter trotting along
the road to Mugello on hired nag, in
company with the learned advocate
Messer Forese, one showery Summers
day, both clad in old cloaks and hats,
borrowed AT some peasants hut, and all
bespattered with mud from head to
foot. ''Well, Giotto," said Messer
Forese, could a stranger, happening to
meet us now, even guess that you are
the greatest painter in the whole
world?' "Assuredly he would" re-
turned the quickwitted artist, ''if, be-
holding your worship he could ever
imagine that you had learned your A
b C."-The Ne,o Quarterly Ndgoziae.

The Florentine Arithmetician

About three hundred and fifty years
ago, when Venice was in the height OF
her power and the full flower of her
glory, and when she was engaged in
constant warfare with the Turk, there
was among her senators one named
his fellows and by the Duke or Doge
himelf. The mistress of his household
was his young daughter, Desdenona,
whom he loved the more tenderly
because her mother had died in her
childhood, and the girl had grown to
early wom8nhOod watched over only
by his fatherly eye, and had gradually
come to fill wife's and a daughters
place both in his household and in his
heart. The lack of "a mothers watchful
care and constant cautions had devel-
Oped In DesdemOna an independence OF
character and a self-reliance to which
otherwise she might not have attained;
and this independence her position as
the head of the domestic establishment
of a member of the proudest and most
powerful obligarchy of modern Europe
greatly strengthened and confirmed.
Desdemona's nature was gentle, submis
sive, and self-sacrifieing, but at the
same time passionful; and the result OF
the influence of her circumstances upon
this nature was a union of bOldness, or
rather of openess in thought and action
with a warmth and tenderness of feel
ing and capacity of self devotion
which are found only in women of high
ly and delicately strung organizations
With an imagination which wrought
out for her grand ideals, and soul
finely attuned to all the higher iDfiuen-
ces of life, she was yet careful house
keeper, and gaveherself up loyalty to the
duties imposed upon her by her position
in her fathers house. Notwithstanding
her beauty, her rank, her accomplish
ments, she had suffered herself to be
little wooed, and had not inclined her
ear to the voice of any lover, partly
because of her youth, partly because OF
her preoccupation, but chiefly rather
because she cherished in her heart such
a lofty ideal of manhood that there were
few noble gentlemen even in Venice
who could captivate her eye, or touch
her heart. One young Venetian named
Roderigo had become deeply enamored
of her beauty. He could not love her
as she would be loved, and still less
could not look upon her with an eye of
favor; for he was silly snipe-a COM
pound of self-conceit and folly and
foppery; a coarse but feeble animal,
with an outside fantastically tricked out
by his tailOr.-GdldIg.

LINES TO A TEACUP.

Dear little teacup,
Oh my rare wee cup,
Work Of Celestials you must be divine ;
Tea no one drank in
Porcelain of Nankin
So fit to rank in
Richer ceramic collections than mine.
Those curious blue marks,
Not sham, but true marks,
Prove you are nearly five centuries old;
In your young beauty
Perhaps you did brew tea
For the King Chuty,
Robed, like the sun, in mantle Of gold.
Where is his charmer?
Who would dare harm her.
She who ruled over the ruler Of men,
But in the places
Which knew her grsces
She left no traces
They have forgotten their fair denizen
She was not brittle,
Frail perhaps little
Why is she m ssing, and you here to-day
Say by what token
You are unbroken
Patent to no ken
Is the distinction for both are Of CLAY.

A Bird that Caused n Divorce.

Vampires or huge bats, which are re-
beings while sleeping, and eagles which
fly off to their nests with babies to sup
ply the eaglets with their suppers, are
regarded as dangerous birds, but Il par.
rot-why parrot, will, at times, as
shall relate, wreck the peace of a house
hold, and almost drive its victims to
suicide. Now, there used to be one
kept on Baltimore Street, Baltimore, in
1872, which led to a divorce between as
happy a couple as the Monumental city
could boast of. Mr. and Mrs. Wood
were parrotized. They owned most
wonderful bird-a large gray African
which, for profanity, intelligence
and mischief was unequaled. The first
named habit, to be sure, was partially
cured, though not unfrequently at the
morning meal the family would be sa-
iuted with:
"Hang you, | want my breakfast, y
but the mischief, backed by the intelli-
yence, was what brought woe to Mr..
and Mrs. Wood.
The wife was exceedingly handsome
and had many beauX previous to mar
riage; she was still, though it must be
confessed, given to flirting. Alas. that
such can truly be said of many of our
married ladies'. Yet the tongue of
SANDER had not yet touched her, the
human tongue, | mean.
Now, occasionally y visiting Mrs. Wood
you would find there Gus Leaning.
The Leaning family and that Of Mrs.
Wood father had ever been the warm
est friends, and Gus thought nothing OF
stepping into Mr.. Woods to hold con-
versation with the wife while the hus-
band was at his business place.
Against this Gus Leaning this Afri-
can fiend conceived an insane hatred.
The cause of his animosity, fancy,
grew out of the fact that Gus on
one occasion put his fingers through
the bars of the cage, when the bird fas-
tened on to one of them, and Gus was
compelled to rap it on the head ere il
would loosen its hold. How it cursed
him when he came into the room where
it hung in its cage.
The Woods oft thought of parting
with this creature, but then he was ''too
smart and cunning for the world"
Better thousand times had they sold
or given him away, for before long he
raised domestic storm which wrecked
two lives.
One day as Mr.. Wood entered the sit
ting room on his return from his store
his wife and Gus being there, while
the parrot was in its cage against the
wall-the bird cried out, sharply:
''That man kissed your wife! That
man kissed your wifer'
Was there ever a man feeling so ag-
grieved as Gus, so furious as Wood, so
wretched a woman as Carrie, the wife
The husband did not doubt the truth
fulness of the bird, for jealousy be-
lieves ever on the slightest evidence.
But at last the husband was appeased,
or at least seemed to be.
Gus continued his visits.
In less than a week, however, Mr.
Wood, on coming into the sitting room
where were his wife and Gus, found
