FANNY FORRESTER'S BIRD /.

[When daughter was born to Mrs. Judson, th
she resided with her husband, a missionary of til
cross, she is said to have penned the followin
xquisite poeml
r. Ere last years moon had left the sky,
birding sought my Indian nest,
And folded, OIL so lovingly.
Her tiny wings upon my breast
From morn till evenings purple tinge,
In winsome helplessnesS she lies.
e. Two rose leaves with a silken fringe,
Shut softly On her starry eyes.
There's not in India q lovelier bird:
Broad earth owns not a happier nest;
Oh, God, Thou hast fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall restl
This beautiful, mysterious thing,
This seeming yisitsnt from Heaven,
This bird with the immortal wing,
To me, to me, Thy hand has given.
The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The bloodits crimson hue, from mine;
This life, which | have dared invoke.
Henceforth is parallel with Thine.
silent awe is in my room
l tremble with delicious fear;
The future, with its light and gloom,
Time and eternity are here.
Doubts-hopes, in eager tumult rise:
Hear. Oh. my God! one earnest prayer;
Room for nv bird in Paradise,
And give her angel plumage there.

X, Previous plans for ventilating the
hall of representatives in the capitol at
Washington have given way to new
methods, which, it is believed, will
prove more satisfactory. The principle
is to ventilatet the premises by sunlight
and direct exposure to the outside at
mosphere. For this purpose the south
side of the hall is now being cut away
by an army of workmen. This will re-
qnire the removal of the present speak
-er's desk and reporters gallery, and ex-
tend the present hall some twenty feet
to the outer wall of the building.

alone. .ssf5.
During the three days which followed
this midnight adventure, Storport was
visited by a deluge of rain, but on the
fourth morning / looked from my win
dow to find the earth basking in sum-
mer sunshine. The sky was vault of
throbbing blue, heeked here and there
with waves Of summer cloud. the
stretches of sand grew golden IN the
sun-rays, while the saturated hills were
bright as if from the smiling of the sky.
The sight revivifed me, and as soon as
my breakfast was over I whistled up
my dogs and strolled out into the air.
How bright and beautiful everything
looked after the heavy rain The ground
was spongy to the tread; the dew still
lay heavily upon the heather and long
grass; but the sun seemed to be suck
ing up the moisture from the bog.
Every body seemed to be out that day,
and most people were busy. Old men
drove heavily laden donkeys along the
muddy road; young girls carried their
creels ofturf across the bog; and by the
roadside, close to where Ivstood, the
turfcutters were busy. m~
l stood for q while and watched them
at their work, and when | turned to 60
