Rev. A. X. Burnell, of Chicago,
who is just home from an evangelistic
tour around the world, made the trip on

and was gone one year.
Last year the Primitive Methodists

At the recent Church of England
Congress at Sheffield, the pew system
being under discussion, a member of
the Congress said that when the Ameer
of Cabul visited Peshawur in 1869 he
was shown a fine English church at the

church explained to him that the whole
congregation was ranged in order ac-
cording TO the relative rank of the diff

astonishment. Why" he said, Z"

the Continent.
Col. Richard Reolf, who committed
suicide the other day in San Francisco,
was for several years on the editorial

poem from his pen appeared in the At-

1t is now an open secret that "Sher-

Mrs. Kate Mcdowell, the daughter of
DR.. Charles Bonner, of Holly Springs,

made Boston her home for several years,
and is we'll known there in literary cir

qualities by going back home and nurs-

Her late novel, "Like Unto Like" is
very generally admired.

90 Dick IS about four years DID, ," Mrs
CARPENTER said Yesterday, "and when
he feels like it win sing the German
Waltz, few notes Of which TOu just

mate down stairs that sings nearly as
well Is does Dick; but he Is noting
now, and don't sing. Dick has also
been molting, and ISN'T in good condi-
ton. When he is, he viii sing that
waltz by the hour; but whenever he
makes a mistake, ho will break into n
mere canary waTble, and then begin
again. ! wish he would sing now
Perhaps we can get him to-"
Thereupon Mrs. Carpenter played the
waltz on an organ, using a stop that
gave a tone much like birds. She
played the waltz through, and as she
ceased the bird began and sang the
waltz nearly through; but it made a
false note, and then warbled sweetly.
The organ sounded again, and then the
bird sang again. This time Dick sang
the waltz correctly, and at the end OF
his song gave himself great airs, evil
IDENTIFY proud of his skill.
How did we teach himP" said Mr.
Carpenter in answer to the question of
the reporter. "Mrs. Carpenter took
Dick when he was just off the nest, and
put him into dark room, where he saw
no light, and heard no sound. Then
daily she played the waltz to him, two
or three times a day, for fifteen or twen-
ty minutes every time. At the end of a
month or two the bird begau to sound a
note of the waltz, then another. Soon
it combined them, and after time he
whistled an entire strain. 1t was near
ly a year, however, before his education
was complete. 1t requires considerable
patience to teach a bird. These birds
are cross between linnet and a cana
ry, and are a heartier bird than thor
oughbred canary. would not like to
part with either of my birds. When the
Kellogg opera troupe were here, Miss
Kellogg was delighted with Dicks per-
formances. She said if she owned him
she wouldn't take $1,000 for him.

We hear the cricket's ceaseless song,
These dreamy days;
While hills afar are dim and blue
In robes of haze;
And Summer waves last adfeu
With saddened face;
While Autumn slowly comes along
In stately grace.
Where are the vines, the pumpkins vines
that lately bloomed and stood
In brighter light, and softer airs, beauteouS
brotherhood?
Alas they are all in their graves; these gentle
vines must die!
Their fruits are in the cellar stored-trot ou,

Now looks the OK from out his stall
The farmer man to see,
As quick he spreads upon the noor
The grain so temptingly.
Then sings around the ancient barn
The lively autumn gale,
And while the farmer taps his nafl
The bovine flaps his tail.

And at this time of year
The single men, who sleep alone,
France round upon their ear
They turn the bedding quickly back,
And then they tumble in

Their knees up to their chin.
And then unto themselves they say,
Just loud enough to hear,
"By George, this thing has got to cease,
Before another year"
