SCHOOL DAYS.

Once more by mount and meadow SIDE
The merry bells are ringing.
Once more by vale OF river wide
The school room doors are swinging
Forgotten books win pensiye looks
And states come forth from cover,
For hand in hand 10 lesson-land
Go little lass and lover.
Vacations hours were full of Joy,
Walton hours we're CHEEKY,
Yet days which pleasant tasks employ
Are neither dull or dreary.
The rhvrnic beat along the street
Of feet that dance in walking,
Give witness true that three times two
Is better fun than talking.
What need of bliss were ours. my
friend,
five, like these, were able
Our cares and discontents TO spend
In vanquishing a table
IL we could be so light ana Tree
Amid our garnered pleasures,
As those who sweet the tale repeat
Ofrunic weights and measures.
Ah, children dear, our later days
Have brought us wise aHnoinung
We see in all our sunny ways
The Fathers kind appointment.
Your morning bell is ours as we'll
We go to school to Duty,
Whose brow severe from year to year
Wears fadeless wreaths Of beauty.

An Ant FIGHT.

An interesting account ofan engage
ment between a party Of red and black
ants is related by g correspondent -
Forest and Stream. Last week, as l
was coming ia the gate, says the writ
er, my attention was attracted by see
ing q stream of ants moving across the
walk, going in different directions.
! They were travelling ia a belt about
[ four inches wide, and moving very rap
idly. OF those going IN one direction,
each had a large ant egg IN It's mouth
followed the empty ''mouFhed ones.
and found they were rObbing a nest OF
r-d ants. The nest was about one
| foot across, and was covered vith red
and black ants engaged in desperate
battle, the reds trying to defend their
home from their thievish enemies. AT
times the ants would form in little bills,
sliding and rolling over the ground. l
observed that the black ants that were
engaged in stealing took no part in the
fight, but would seize the eggs and
make for their own bill, leaving the
fighting to be done by the rest OF the
band. The black ants, in making
these depredations, had to cross one
carriage drive, two plank walks, and
climb up terrace two feet in hight
the distance between the two hills be
ing 152 feet, through the grass of an
ordinary lawn. Out of curiosity, | kill
ed one of the black ants. and took it to
ieweIer and had it put in the balance
with the egg it was carrying, when the
egg was the heaviest: which shows the
remarkable strength and endurance OF
these interesting insects. | once notie-
ed small red ant trying TO carry a
worm, several times as heavy as itself,
up a small mound, on the top of which
was its nest. After trying several times
without success, it ran up the hill and
disappeared in its hole, and presently
returned with quite a number of com
anpions, who easily carried their cap
tive into the nest; in spite of his strug-
giles"

An AUTUMN SONG.

Now gently falls the fading light,
The autumn's sunset veil,
While dusky grows the wavering flight
OF whip poor-will and quail.
The grain is bound, the nuts are brown
On every wooded hill;
The light is sofened on the down,
and silvered on the rill.
The partridge drums; the plovers cal
Saluies the sportsman's ear,
And Just above the waterfall
The fisher sets his weir.
The redeemed leaves with wlthered
wings
Sweep lightly to the sod,
And autumn walks the land and sings
With rustling sandals shod.

BOB WHITE.

A correspondent of the Forest and
Stream says a good word for Bob
White, whose CHEEKY calls upon his
namesake are sometimes interpreted
into assurance of more Wet" and
when it is particularly rainy he gives
his whistle another note, which is a
promise of mo More Wet" Bob is
sometimes called quail, but the writ
er says that he is no such bird as Broth
ers Hapgood and Eyarts have recently
imported from the shores of the Medi
terranean. He adds:
''There is physically a wide differ
ence between the two birds, and that
greatly to the advantage of our native
Bob White. The quail proper is not
as large by half as our own bird, nor is
his plumage half so beautiful; his flesh
is dark; and. having no tail to speak of,
he compares with our Virginian part
ridge as would & dung hill fowl with one
of Van Wrinkles or Perry BaIdwin's
game-cocks. The quail proper is an
immoral little cuss, after the manner
of the Mormons or Mohammedans,
taking as many wives as he can get;
and, worse than the human polygamist,
be disdains the cares and responsible
ties of paternity. What noble moral
contrast does our bird present. He has
but one wife, and all the affections of
his faithful little heart are bestowed
upon the gentle mate won at the risk
OF his life in many a hard fought bat
tie. And what model husband Bob
White makes when alive, and what a
succulent pie when dead! What grand
sport he affords to the sportsman and
what gustatory delight to the epicure.
But there are other differences between
the birds. The quail proper is as strict
ly migratory as the swallow. He
changes bis climate twice year on

A Bad FiH,,

A blooming belle with cherry lips, and
most artistically frescoed face, was limp
ing on her toes along the Avenue on Sun
day afternoon last. Fashions latest modes
regulated her dress; Arabella was accom-.
panied by Herbert Fitz Herbet. Herbert
had been to Paris, and has stayed and
padded a la worth. During loving SIM
per, golden clssped hymn book fell out of
the ladies' hands. Herbert smiled and
showed bis magnificent teeth, nadamemoi-
sslls frowned and inquired by her look,
why he did not pick it up, alas, alas! be
tried, but In vain he was armorsd a. un-
bspdingly as "French stays" to make
him shaply, he could only wish the book
was not there. The lady fair comprehend
ed trouble, and by taking such distance,
and leaning on Herbert, she hoped to reach
the book--but no, pull back, and X
forbid. Our friend Vincent came along,
but not to their relief, nature farbad in him
what art opposed in others. 0! have it
said Vincent, call boy-a gamin came
in answer to the summons, picked up the
book, and was amazed at the laziness of
