Or all the strange places chosen by the
birds for rearing their young, one of the
queerest is mentioned in Hdrdwick's 8
Science Gossip. In the railway station
at Coventry, the sparrows have great
fancy for building their nests inside a
signalbell that is rung many times in
the day, and often in the night-three
or four blows being struck each time.
The bell is saucer-shaped, and about ten
inches in diameter. The apparatus con.
nected with the bell is rather compli
Gated, 30 that, when il is struck, /" there
Is, besides the loud ringing, great rat
tie and noise of levers, and a heavy
thump caused by the falling counter
weight" Despite this loud and frequen
din In their ears, and the agitation i
must cause their dwellings, the sparrow
persist in building in this bell, and thei
nests are frequently removed by tn
railway officials. Still the birds hav
succeeded in Matching and rearing thei
young in the curious place.

ACCORDING to a paper lately read be-
fore the Paris Academy of Science,
cholera appears on all geological forma-
tions, but its development and propaga-
ton depend largely on the physical ag-
gregation Of the ground, its permeability
for air and water, and the variable
quantity Of water it contains. The par
tisans Of the common doctrine always
suppose specific infectious substance or
cholera germ, which is propagated from
place to place by human communica-
tioaas, not by the atmosphere.

A Wide.Awake Man.

To-day | met Sergeant G. d. Sanders,
of Parkersburg. Mr. Sanders is now
tall, straight old man, anywhere between
fifty and sixty land he is not at all robust,
still he does not look like man who
had not slept for fifteen years. During
the war he did full and sometimes double
duty but during the whole time never
could sufficiently exhaust himself to in
duce even disturbed sleep to visit his
eyes. AS he told me to-day incidents
in his life | asked him if physicians had
never examined and prescribed for him.
ooh, yes, indeed" he answered, "dur-
ing the war and since the doctors have
given me full share of attention but
even heavy doses of opiates have never
been sufficient to put me into sound
sleep. | get tired like other men some
time, but never feel any desire to sleep.
Once during the war I refused a posi-
ton as an officer, prefering to serve as
orderly SO | could have plenty to do
Why | tried once the plan Of working
continuously for ten or eleven days and
nights to see if could not get to sleep,
but it was no 60"
But what do you do at night?" I
asked.
"Oh," he responded, II go to bed, so
as to be out of the way, and when l get
there | lay and think, and think, until
daylight"
Mr.. Sanders has been sought after by
showmen, who desired to exhibit him as
a great natural curiosity---for such he
certainly is--but being modest citizen
he prefers to follow the more desirable
walks of merchandise. The man is we'll
known in this section of country and his
continual wakefulness vouched for by the
most competent testimony. What a use

Great wants proceed from great wealth,
and make riches almost equal to poverty.
Calumny and detraction are but
sparks, which, if you do not blow them,
will go out Of themselves.
Believe. and if thy faith DO right,
that insight which gradually transmutes
faith into knowledge will be the reward
Of thy belief.
A weak mind sinks under prosperity
as we'll as under adversely. A strong
mind has two highest tides-when the
moon is at the full and when there is no
moon.
Nothing does so fool man as extreme
passion. This doth make them fools
which otherwise are not, and show them
to be fools that are not.
II requires great deal Of boldnoss
and a great deal OF caution TO make a
great fortune, aud when you have got it
il requires ten times as much wit to
keep il.
The mind is nourished at cheap rate.
Ncithe: heat, nor cold, nor old age itself
can interrupt this exercise. Give, there
for, all you can 10 a possession which
aneliorates even in its old age.

WHAT Voices INDICATE. There are
light, quick surface voices that involun-
tarily seem to utter the saying; II won't
do to tie to-" The mans words may as
sure you Of his strength of purpose and
reliability, yet his tone contradicts his
speech.
Then there are low, deep, and strong
voices where the words seemed ground
as if the man owed humanity a grudgc
and meant to pay it some day That
mans opponent may tremble and his
friends may trust his strength Of pur-
pose and ability to act
There is the coarse, boisterous, dicta-
torial tone, invariably adopted by vulgar
persons, who have not sufficient cultiva-
ton to understand their own insignif-
canoe.
There is the incredulous tone that il
full Of covert sneer, or secret ''you
can't dupe me, sir" information.
Then there is whining, beseeching
voice that says 'sycophant' as plainly as
if it uttered the word. 1t cajoles and
fatters you; its words say 4 love you,'
| admire you-you are everything that
you should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical, com
passionate voice that sometime5 goes
with sharp aud sometimes with blunt
features, but always with genuine bcnev-
olence.
If you are full Of afectation and pre-
tense, your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm and firm and
persistent, or tickle and foolish and de-
ceptive your voice will be equally truth
telling.

joining counties of Maryland and Virginia,
for the interest and zeal they have shown at
our late Fair. We are convinced that we
had all the elements of the most successful ex-
hibition ever held in the county, and but for
the Equinoctial storm, which occurred during
the Fair, we should have been able 10 meet
current expenses, aud had a handsome surplus
with which to improve our accommodations
for future Fairs, but the actual state OF the
case is such that we are compelled to appeal
once more 10 your generosity to come forward
on the 10th and bring us a crowd that will
enable us at any rate 10 pay our premiums
and meet current expenses, and we promise at
the same to give you a days entertainment

BIRTHPLACE OF BURNS.

BY COL. ROBERT @. INGERs0LL.
Though Scotland boasts thousand names
OF patriot, king and peer,
The noblest, grandest Of them all
Was loved aud Graded here;
Here lived the gentle peasant-prince,
The loving cotter-king,
Compared with whom the greatest lord
Is but titled thing.
IT'S but cot rooted in with straw,
A hovel made of clay;
Ore door shuts out the snow and storm,
One window greets the day;
And yet stand within this room
And hold oil thrones in scorn,
For here, beneath this lowly thatch,
Loves sweetest bard was born.
Within this hallowed hut feel
Like one who clasps shrine,
When the glad lips at last have touched
The something deemed divine;
And here the world through all the years,
AS long as day returns,
The tribute of its love and tears
Will pay to Robert Burns.

would gather around his head were it
once known what he had done. His
ill-got gains did not prosper. He quilted
the army, and after a wandering life Of
hardship and privation for half CEN
tury, exactly seventy-five years after
Emmet's death, his executioner has
found pauper's death and nameless
grave. And thus there Is one enigma
