Birds Nests.

Some notes on the remarkable posi-
tions in which birds nests have been
found are given in Land and Water.
Several years ago red-breast built its
nest in human skull that had been left
exposed in a burying- ground in the
Parish of Dysart, in Fifeshire. Another
established its residence in an iron tank
ard that had been thrown away among
the weeds. A third bird of the same
species erected its domicile and reared
a family within a few feet of a circular
saw in daily motion, at Bailbirnie Saw
Mill, in the Parish of Markinch. Still
another built its home in an azalia-bush
in greenhouse at Bailbirnie Gardens.
Again, says the writer, ave have seen
one constructed within the sleeve of a
workman's coat that had been left hang
ing on a tree. The workman, on max
ing the interesting discovery, allowed
his coat to remain on the Dough, and
the red-breast's labors proved fruitful.
We have seen a sparrow's nest inside
the cavity Of an iron buffer of railway
wagon, and an oxeye's nest in broken
beer-bottle; while, not long ago, the
nest of a thrush was pointed out to us
inside the spout of a pump, but the fire.
quent demand for water caused the
thrush's efforts in nest-building in such
place to be Abandoned

THE THREE C4LLERS.

Morn called fondly to a fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew.
She calls-but he still thinks of naught save
playing.
And so she smiles, and waves him an adieu,
While he, still merry with his t1owery store,
Dreams not that Morn, sweet Morn, returns no
more.
Noon cometh-but the boy to manhood growing,
form,
One young fair face, from bower of jessamine
glowing,
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm.
So Noon, unnoticed, seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that Noon returns no more.
Night tappeth gently at a easement cleaning
With the thin freight, Pickering and low,
BY which a gray haired man is sadly dreaming
Ger pleasures gOne-aS all lifes pleasures 90,
Night calls him to her-as he leaves his door,
Silent and dark and he returns no more.

Be An Editor.

An editor is the happiest being on
earth. He has little or nothing to do,
and his pay is all that heart could wish.
His sanctum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkey carpets, its costly rosewood fur
niture, its magnificent mirrors, its COM
plete library of splendidly bound books,
its buffet stocked with the finest wines,
liquors and cigars, which cost him but
a puff or two, its silver bell to summon
an attenadnt whenever a cocktail is
wanted, and, in short, with its every
thing that human ingenuity can devise
for his comfort and pleasure, is perfect
little paradise, where he sits or lounges,
and reigns young lord, with the world
of fashion and pleasure at his feet And
then, anybody can be an editor-no
study, no preparation, no brains; moth
ing but little money to start with, and
once started, the money pOurs in upon
you IN steady stream. AS for the
labor of editing a newspaper, that is
mere moOnshine. A glance at the
columns of newspaper is enough to
convince you that it requires no labor
to edit it, and less brains. 1t is certain
ly a glorious life, that of an editor; a

young lover in his first sweet dream of
requited love, with flutes, rose-leaves
and moonbeams,
'While not a wave of trouble rolls
Across his peaceful breast
And that all men are not editors is one
of the most strange things beneath the
stars. True, there must be doctors,
lawyers, merchants, shoemakers and
the like, and all these callings must be
filled by somebody; but there are
enough to fill them, and why they don't
become editors and lead the life of opu-
lent princes is a thing that staggers us.
But it may be that it is mere matter
of taste. 1t may be repugnant to some
natures to be clothed in purple and fine
linen and fare sumptuously every day,
and of course it would not do for such a
nature to become an editor; the life of
ease and luxury, and exemption from
all care and debts and duns would soon
become a bore to him, and he would
spend his nights in dreaming of pitch
forks and reaping machines, and squan-
der his days in devising some plan for
swapping places with q blacksmith's
apprentice or street car driver.

Ferns and Grasses.
Springfield Republican.

The florists have about come to the
conclusion that the fem trade is being
killed by the great rage for grasses.
Still, now and then the city dealers have
calls TO send ferns to a distance. and one
recently shipped a lot to Canada. For
that region the Hartford " is a favor
lite. In native ferns but little is done, as
people prefer to go to Mount Toby or
elsewhere for them, even though they
thus run the considerable risk of spend
ing their strength over what will not
live when transplanted, Some of the
eXotics are, however, always in demand.
The sale for expensive grasses for bo-
quets began last year, and is much
greater this. One of the handsomest
varieties is the ''Pampas," a native of
South America, but now grown extern
slyely in California. which produces
long, bushy, plumes. in appearance and
texture much like ostrich feathers, that
sell for 80 cents or 81 each. This plant
with protection through the winter, can
be raised here, being propagated with
difficulty from the seeds, but easily by
the roots. In California, it grows In
clumps, sending up flower stalks twelve
or fifteen feet high, but hereabeuts it
never surpasses eight or ten feet A
very similar plant from Florida, only
smaller. is called the Phragmates., ,
The " Uniola," also from Florida, grows
IN clumps in the sand of the &ea-beaches,
and can be dyed any color without
showing the cheat. Another variety,
the q Stipa Perneta," can be also colored
and is in universal demand for grass
bouquets. Bouquets made up ofgrasses
of each of these varieties, those that
will bear it being variously colored, sell
readily for 80 cents From this price
the figures run up, according to the
size and kinds of the plants used.

THE ROOTS OF THE ROSES.

The leaves are fading and falling,
The winds are rough and wild,
The birds have ceased their calling,
But let me tell you, my child.
Though day by day, as it closes,
Doth darker and colder grow,
The roots of the bright red roses
Will keep alive in the snow.
And when the Winter is over,
The boughs will get new leaves
The quail come back to the clover,
The swallow back to the caves;
The robin viii wear on his bosom
The vest that is bright and new,
And the livelicst wayside blossom
Will shine with sun and dew.
So. when some dear JOY loses
It's beauteous summer glow,
Think how the roots of the roses
Are kept alive in the snow

About week or ten days since a
man in Virginia, New, dreamed that he
saw his next door neighbor brought
home dead from the mine in which he
worked. He told his wife of the dream
next morning, and during the day they
talked a good deal about it. On the
second day the man who had expert
enced the dream looked from the win
dow and saw the neighbor on his own
doorstep, about to leave for the mine.
He said to his wife: q have a great
mind to go and beg that man not to go
to work, my dream haunts me So" The
wife answered that it was a foolish
thought, which would only annoy the
man, and was not worth mentioning, as
it was the neighbor's last day in the
mine. Within two hours from that
moment the neighbor's body, crushed
out of shape and quite dead, was
brought home.

inc Flood, maddened by finding his wife IN

murdererhas delivered himself mp to the author-

finely graded, as we all know, to meet every

racy. No process Is needed to assimiate or
absorb them. There was little futter OF
hope and expectation among the leaders some
little time ago over report that MIR. BeIJa-
min F. Butler was coming to them in some
sort of attorneys guise in the Presidential DIS
pute. We do not remember that single
voice was raised against it, though for sixteen
years the first article in the creed OF Democ-
racy has been that Butler is one OF the worst
men in politics. and it is an article to which
a great many Republicans subscribed. 1here
are still many more of the same sort whose
departure from the Republican party would
be hailed with full as much qualification by
those they separate themselves from as their
accession would be welcomed by the eager
.ea,chers for recruits to whom they might join
themselves All honest Republicans are glad
to see that sort of folk packing their carpet
bags to leave, and the Democracy getting
ready to gather them in. There's nobody but
wishes the Democrats much JOY OF their re-
oruifa
