The sCOIsl ing Man,"

4 pair Of very chubby legs,
Enca.ed In scarlet hose;
A paie of little stabb. boots,
with rather doubtful tooS;
4 little kilt, a little coat,
Cut as Il mother can
And 10! before us strides, in state,
The Futures coming man.
His ewes, perchance, will road the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
rsrchance the human heart and soul
Will open 10 their gaze;
ferchance their Keen and flashing glance
Will be n nations Light
Those eyes, that now are wisiful bent
On some "big fellows" kite.
That brow, where mighty thoughts will dwell
In solemn. secret stale,
Where fierce Ambitions rastless strength
Shall war with futGre fate;
Where Science fyuM now hidden caves
New trea sures shall outpoIr-
'Tis knit now, with troubl I'd doubt,
Are two, or three, cents m1re9
Those lips that in the coming years,
WIN plead, or pray, or teach;
Whose whispered words, on lightning fash,
From world to world may reach;
They sterny grave, may speak command,
Or, smiling, win control
Are ceaXing now for gingerbread
With all baby's soaf.
Those hands--those little busy hands
80 sticky, small and brown;
Those hands, whose only mi ssion seems
10 tear all order down
VINO knows what hidden strength may lie
Within their future grasp,

An, blessings on those little hands,
Whose work is yet undone!
And blessings on those little feet.
Whose race is YET unrun.
Ana blessings on the little brain

Josh E:illings on Birds.
TIIrou1IE.

THE CT AL.
The quail is Il game bird, about a size
bigger than the robin, and SO sudden that
they hum when they fly. They have no
song, but whistle for music; the tune is
solitary AMI sad. They are shot on tie
wing, and man may be good in arithme-
tick, fustrate at parslsg; and even be able
to preach acccptably, but if he amt stud
led quail on the wing he might as well
shoot at a streak ov lightning in the sky
rs Il quail ON the go.
Briled quait, properly supported with
iellies and Champane Charlie, is just the
most difficult thing, in my humble opin-
ion to beat in the whole history OF yittals
and something to drink.
am no gorniand, for l kan eat bread
and milk five days out ov seven. and smak
my lips after git thru, but if am asked
to eat briled quail by Il friend with judic-
ious accompaniment, blush at fllst, then
bow my head, and them smile sweet ac-
uuiesence-in other words, l always quai!
before such a request.
THE PARTRIDGE.
| The partridge is Il small game bird
| Their game is to drum on log in the
spring ov the year and keep both eyes
open, watching the sportsman. Partridg-
es are shot on the wing, and are as easy

see the old bird hide her young brood
when danger is near. This mus' &c seen

thought would never reform are standing by

reason to believe they ,oW stand by them and
die sober men.
The farmers have improved the fine
weather in planting corn, which in this quar-
ter looks very promising. To be sure it is not
so far advanced as it is some years, yet the
advanced state of other crops makes 1t appear
more backward than it really is.
