The OSPREY Almost every morning,
the osprey, or fish-hrwk, comes in front of
the window and fishes in the shallow water
near the house. He does not seem to be
rs expert us the kin2fsher. l have seen
him dive dozen times or more into the
water before bringing up his prey. He
sails around and around in the air; and at
last fixing his eyes upon II fish, he swoops
down making the water splash around
him. His feet are large and powerful, and
he arranges his toes in the form of a scoop
as he plunges into the river; this scoop is
his fishing tackle with which he brings up
his finny food.
| think should not like to be an osprey,
for he seems to have such hard time to
get a living, and yet he is an honest, we'll
disposed l;lborer. After he has succeeded
in catching fish, II bald eagle often
swoops down from some tall tree, where
he hats been watching him, and by main
force compels this honest fisher to give up
his hard.won prey. The eagle is consider
ably larger than his victim, being about
three feet in length, while the osprey is
only about two feet
1t is quite grand sight to see these two
large birds wheeling through the air-the
osprey trying to elude the eagle, diving
first one way and then another, until At
last, when he sees the unencumbered eagle
must overpower him, in a tit of desper-
aton he lets the fish drop, and the eagle
catches it before it reaches the water, and
carries it to some retired spot where he
devours it.
And now the poor deiraudcd osprey
must 90 10 work and catch another fish
for his inncr.-.NrS -Nary IreGt, 50.

Rev. DIR. Fowler of the Christian AdUO
cate reviewed the speech made by DIR.
Howard Crosby, in which that gentleman
claimed that the Bible sanctioned moderate
drinking. First, he quoted statistics which
show the amount of money spent annually
for drink and the number of crimes which
indulgence in the habit brings about, and
then drawing some graphic word pictures
of the misery and distress which the traffic
brought upon society in every grade, ask
ed the question. Can it be possible that
Gods s Book sanctions this? The balance of
the argument was an attempt to prove
that the Hebrews used two kinds of wine
one which was intoxicating, the other
the pure, unfermcnted juice of the grape
The latter, he claimed, was the only kind
recommended in the Bible, and the form
er the wine which was referred to in un-
measured terms of condemnation. Taking
this standpoint, by probable and direct
argument, he declared that the reasoning
of DR.. Crosby was false in its logic and
pernciouS in It's results.

TIE PANAMA WHARF.-Charlie and
Lucy were sitting one evening on their
Uncle Georges knee.
Uncle" said Lucy, who was dear
child, what did the minister mean this
afternoon ut church when he said that
the man who despises small things shall
fall by little and little?'" "
Wen, Lucy, my dear" replied Uucle
George, IL think that you will understand
me better if tell You story.
"Many years ago was visiting at Pan
anna. This is place which you will find
On your map, south Of the United States
and Mexico"
q remained there for many months.
Near my hotel was very large wharf.
Year after year the ships had come up to
it, and had unloaded their cargoes. 1t
was built mt very great expense, and every
person thought it entirely safe. Merchants
often permitted thousands of dollars
worth of goods to remain on it over night.
1t was the custom of the wharf superin-
tendent to examine it every month. Now,
while was there, the report was spread
that some little insects were'catng away
the wood. He looked at the place, but
said it was of no conscquence-that there
were only n few insects that could do no
great harm Month after month passed,
and still these little creatures ate away at
the wharf. They did not seem 10 be nu-
merous, and but little attention was paid
to them.
"One day, us | was looking out Of my
window, ! heard % dreadful crash, and,
behold the whole immense wharf had
sunk into the sea, Sixty or seventy per-
sons were killed and an immense amount
of property was destroyed-.all by the work
of these little tiny insects. Afterward it
was found that they had been eating for
years at the wood. Had they been stopped
ut once, no harm would have come; but
the superintendent thought them too small
to notice, lie despised them because they
were SO small.
Children" said Uncle George, "be
careful of little things. Whenever you
discover II bad little habit, kill il at once
If you don't. it may kill you. Ask God
for Jesus sake, to help you, and He will
for He has promised to help those whC
ask Him."--S. S. VIsitor.

WATCHING FOR WTLLrAM.-rhe father
of Florence, the comedian. was a man of
strict family discipline. His opposition to
theater going was intense. lie had rigid
rules for domestic government, and one of
these required the housing of his sons at a
very early hour in the evening. Billy,
through some agency had acquired a
strong passion for theatrical entertain
ments which he gratified at every opportu
nifty. The oil gentleman had Il thorough
knowledge of his sons weakness for theat
rcals and was determined to modify his
tastes ut all hazards. One bitter cold win
ter night bill of extraordinary attractive
ness was offered at the Bowery Theater
management, and to the young fellow it
was irresistible. The father suspected
Billy's intention to be one of the audience
and ut the supper table was prepared TO
issue special orders for the evening, but 10
his chagrin no William was present to re-
ceive the parental injunction. lncensed
at the boys absence, the father resolved to
catch his son on his return, and to trounce
him well for his temerity. He therefore
secured IN instrument of torture, and pa
radng in front of the street door, impa-
tiently awaited the culprit's approach.
An hour of rapidly increasing cold
passed and yet no signs of the lad. Billy
however was on the alert, having fortu-
nately espied the angry father on his
cheerless patrol. Skipping around the
corner, he scaled n rear fence and slyly
slipped up stairs. In a few minutes he
was beneath the coverlet, and wondering
how much longer the old gentleman would
be able to stand the bitter weather. The
father, thoroughly benumbed, now thought
he would change the tactics and so re-
entered the house to continue viglls in
front of Billy's chamber door. After a
while he was greatly astonished at hear
ing an unmistakable snore, and, striking
the whip upon the bedroom door demand
ed to know who was within.
Only me, drawled Master Innocence. as
he stretched and yawned like one just
awakened from deep slumber
You, sir? again demanded the old gen
tleman.
Yes, sir, responded Billy; and is thai
you, pa? You are up late tonight, fan
cy. hope you haven't been TO any place
of amusement

THE LAND OF DREAMS.


A mighty realm in the land ofdreams,
With sleeps that hang in the twilight sky,
And weltering oceans and trailing streams
That gleam where the dusky valleys lie.
But over the shadowy borders flow
Sweet rays from the world of endless morn,
And the nearer mountains catch the glow,
And flowers IN the nearer fields are born.
The souls of the happy dead repair
From their bowers of light 10 that border Land,
And walk in the fainter glory there
With the souls OF the living hand.
One calm, sweet smile in that shadowy sphere
From eyes that open on earth no more,
One warning word from voice once dear
How they rise in memory DER and DER.
Far off from those hills that shine with day
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The land of dreams goes stretching away
To DINNER mountains and darker wales.
There lie the chambers of guilty delight,
There walk the spcctrcs of guilty fear.
And soft, low voices that float through the night
Are whispering sin in the hopeless ear.
Dear maid, in thy girlhoods opening flowers,
Scarce weaned from the love of childish play,
The tears on whose checks are but the showers
That freshen the early bloom Of May
Thine eyes are closed, and over thy brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and joyous gle tms,
And know, by thy moving lips. that now
Thy spirit strays in that land OF dreams.
Lighthearted maiden, oh heed thy feet!
Oh keep where the beam of Paradise falls;
And only wander where thou mayest meet,
The blessed ones from its shining walls.
So shalt thou come from the land of dreams
With love and peace TO this world of strife;
And the light which over the border streams
Shall lie on the path Of thy daily life.

A CUTE SpARROw.-The English spar
row has many enemies who think him a
depravcd AS well as a useless bird. Such
will read with pleasure the following
story, vouched for by the Hartford Times,
which illustrates the intelligence and ras-
cality of the noisy bird:
The gentleman, who resides in New
York, had erected last Spring in his back
ward Il large box for sparrows nests. 1t
was divided into three rows. each contain
inr four compartments. These We're all
speedily taken possession of by Il dozen
pairs of sparrowS, and the business of
making nests proceeded amidst the Gus
tomary chippering din of these fusSy and
pugnacious feathered colonists.
Sitting idly at the window one Sunday
Watching the birds, the gentleman saw one
cock sparrow come flying to his place with
Il fine. soft white feather in his bill. The
box was so fixed that he could see into the
apartments, and he SAW this bird fix the
feather into IN incomplete nest and then
fly away.
No sooner was he out of sight than a
female sparrow from the adjoining COM
partment, who had evidently seen that
proceeding, hoped into her neishbor 5
house and pulled out and carried Oil the
coveted feather.
Becoming interested the observer watch
ed the performance. expecting to see the
little thief carry her stolen prize to her
own nest but no, She knew trick worth
two of that, and here is where she display
ed an undenable reasoning process, and
acted on n clear perception of cause and
effect, making prudent use of her knowl-
edge of the character and disposition OF
her plundered neighbor.
/ She flew off with the feather in neigh
boring tree, where she securely fastened
it in an inconspicuous place upon and be-
tween two twigs and there left it.
Pretty soon the bird she had delrauded
came back with straw 10 add TO his nest.
Discovering his loss, he came with AN
angry chirruping that BODIED no good to
the drspoiler of his hearth and home if he
could only find the rogue.
His first demonstration was to visit his
next door neighbor without any search
warrant In that abode of peace and in
nocence he found no trace of the stolen
feather; and as for the actually guilty
party she was hopping innocently about,
and loudly demanding-as far us bird
tones could be understood by the man at
the window-what was meant by this I'M
gentlcmanly and very impolite intrusion
into II lady's bed chamber, and insisting
that she was no such kind of II woman.
The cock sparrow was evidently puz-
zlcd. Unable, after Il minute search, ia
find the lost feather. he at length appar-
emily gave it up, charged it to profit and
loss, and flew away in search of another.
The thief demurely waited until he had
cot well off and then flew to the tree, Sc
cured the stolen feather and took it in
triumph to her own nest. This story we
are a>su, ed is II true one.

The Presbyterian says: 1t is all against
our natural inclinationS 10 find fault with
Mr.. Beccher. His genius would dispose
one, were it not for conscience, TO worship
him with all his faults. But no man who
has any conscience can keep from enter
ing protest, in the interest of truth and
common honesty, against his amazing
wrong -headedness in denouncing what he
calls orthodoxy, under monstrous carica-
lures. 1t is unworthy of decent sinner.
Last Sabbath, if he is reported correctly in
the N. Y. Times, he must have been half
crazed, or have given himself up to mere
dramatic effect. This is the best construc-
ton of the scene which the largest charity
can make. He erected in Plymouth Church
an orthodox scare crow, and commenced
swearing ut it, throwing mud at it, max
ing faces at it, butting ut it like an infuri-
ated goat. We think that we are not
uncharitabIe in saying that it is untruthful
as description of any orthodox faith
that it is an exaggeration AS offensive to
Justice as to that humble reverence that
dares to speak of God only in the con-
seriousness that we are dust and ashes.
