BEGINNING OF THY soAr0ws, LITTLE
HEAdr.

Just after sunsc. lsis;y q bright faced
little girl, attended ly :: playful black.
n tan pup, was ut tho pump at Seventh
and Walnut Streets. Nen- By, on the curb
stone, were two sparroxs chipping cheerily.
The pup made a dash at them, end much to
his delight one Of them was unable to fly.
1t was q young one, and t:e other was til.
mother. Seeing the danger of her yours
the old bird resorted to tho usual devices t,
attract the enemy to pursue her, throwing
herself upon the ground in front Of him, fiut
tering almost in his face and crying in dis
tress. Thoroughly excited and somewhat
confused the b~Iack-and-tan dashed first ct
one and then at the other. The little girls
heart was touched for the birds, and calling
ut the pup she started in prrsuit CT him
Dog, birds and girl, for awhile, all greatly CT
cited, were flying hero and there about the
gutter, now on the pavement and again on
the street. Finally just az the pup ~pouncel
upon the young bird, his little mistress
seized him and drew him into her arms.
For IN instant it seemed the young bird
was saved, but the poor thing was brighten
ed nearly to death, and cspying the newer-
opening in the curbing it flew in, and moth
ing then could save it. The little girls eyes
streamed with tears; she scolded and gave
the pup an affectionate sort Of boating, and
putting his head near to tho opening said
in most distressful tones: "Scc what you
have done, you wicked, wicked littls dog !;
you nave drowned the poor little bird, you
have drowned the poor little bird" ana
when the mother bird luttcrcd around
looking and crying for her young, she burs,
into fresh tears and criod as if her heart
would break. A number of people witnessed
ed the incident and there were no dry eye,
on the scene except those of the little pub
-Louispik Post.

BLUNDERs. Few attributes of character
are more charming than the faculty O.
gracefully acknowledging ones errors. The
man who makes a blundcr and sticks to it
is a person with whom argument or contro
versy becomes impossible. The trouble anc
time spent in attempting to convince him o.
the truth are completely wasted, for he will
still believe that what he has advanced
must be right, ovcn in the face of actual
demonstration that it is wrong. On the othcl
hand, of the action of one who will admi,
with frank and ready courtesy that he has
been mistaken, it may be said that IL
"blesseth him that gives and him that
takes''-it covers his own retreat with
sracefulncss and gives his adversary q pleas
ant memory of IN encounter with n gener
Gus foe.
This remark of the Rev. John Newton dc
serves to be written on the tablet of every
heart. 81 sec in this world," he observes,
1.-TWO heaps-one Of human happiness nno
one of misery. Now, if / can take blu:
the smallest bit from the second heap aud
add to tho first, 1 carry n point. If Us I 60
home. q child hns dropped o half.penny,
and il by giving it another / can wipe away
its tears, / feel that ! have done something,
/ should he glad, indeed, to do great things
but 1 will not neglect such little ones as this. >
These little things arc what we all can do
and should.
