4 Troubled Poet.

If there be anything that Mr.. Whit
tier hates it is "scene." At one of the
great Boston fairs was a lady who for a
long time had been an admirer of the
poet, and when she discovered that he
too was there, she besought friend to
bring her into personal acquaintance
with him. The friend consented. Whit
tier was caught in passing, hurried and
unexpectant, in the centre of curious
crowd the introduction spoken. Whit
tier bent his head in smiling greetings,
when, without warning, the food gates
of feminine gush opened, and the lady,
between sobs and tears, tried to tell Mr..
Whittier that for years she had cherished
him in her heart, and that she had never
sniff, sniff-never thought to have the
happiness of meeting him; that she felt
now that she could "kneel at his feet "
and here a whole torrent of tears and
shifts. 1t is easy to picture the shy, re-
served poets misery. Of quite differ
ent order of emotion was that of Dom
Pedro when he met him. AS he entered
drawing room, after the company had
assembled, he looked about in a very
eager, un-royal fashion, and inquired,
with great earnestness, "where is Mr..
Whittier" When Mr.. Whittier appear
ed before him to answer this question,
the enthusiastic emperor fug his arms
about the poets neck and gave him q
regular Baizilian hug, 20 whiGh Mr.
Whittier partially responded bS fiingine

The Bird of Paradise.

The Jardin d'Acclimation, Paris has
just received some living specimens of
the bird of Paradise, which it has hither-
to been found rarely possible to bring
alive to Europe. This bird is native
of New Guinea the inhabitants of which
country endeavor to keep up the fable
relative to these specimens of the feath-
cred tribe, by persuading the Indian
merchants to whom they sell them that
they have no feet, and that, as they live
on air and light, they have neither
stomach nor intestines. That belief
was encouraged by the form given by the
Papuan naturalists or dealers to pre-
pare them for sale, by drying the bird
with its plumes, after taking out the
inside and tearing off the legs. 1t is
rarely found excepting in the countries
which produce spices, and particularly
in Australasia. New Guinea, which is
comprised in that part of the world, and
the Aroo Islands near, contain many
specimens. The pineapple and nutmeg
tree grow their in the midst of immense
forests, and supply their principal food.
The Papuans, barbarians as they are, de-
rive considerable profit from the sale of
une Dlrd ana take 1T WIFI netS OF SUCKS
smeared with birdlime. In the latter
case they take it alive, but as it is very
difficult to preserve, they prefer to use
the bow and arrow. The manner in
which this chase is carried on is very
curious. The men climb silently in the
dark, like cats, into the trees in which
the birds sleep, pass the night in the
forks of the branches, and at day break
shoot at the birds while they are still
asleep, with very light arrows made from
the ribs of leaves of the palm-tree. Their
address is so marvellous that the bird
generally falls to the ground intact,
stunned rather than wounded. The
men continue as long as they can, and
then descend to the ground and proceed
to the preparation and embalming of
their victims. The Malays of Malacca
are the chief purchasers of the birds,
which they carry 10 the MOlucca Isles,
whence they are sent to India, China
and Europe.
