A certain lawyer was compelled to
apologize to the court. With stately
dignity he rose in his place and said:
Your Honor is right, and am wrong, as
your Honor generally is. There was
dazed look in the Judges eye, and he
hardly knew whether to feel happy or fine
the lawyer for contempt of court.
A little girl of five years, in Hancock,
Ohio, seems to have the power of charm
ing birds. According to the account birds,
when spoken to by her will come and
light upon her, twiltering with glee. On
taking them in her hands and stroking
them the birds, instead of trying to escape,
seem to be highly pleased and, when let
loose, fly short distance and Immediately
return to the child again. Snow birds,
remain about the house all winter, flying
to the little charmer whenever door is
opened. The child handles the birds SO
gently that humming bird once in her
hand does not fail to return.
THE CAMPANERo OR BELL, BIRD.-I think
there should be revised edition of the
Cock Robin tragedy. | never could see
any propriety in the bull being at that
bird funeral. The campanero or bell-bird
could have tolled the bell, even if there had
been no bell in the world. 1t has feshy
horn on its forehead, you see, which is
connected with its palate, and at a mo-
ment's notice it Can fill this with air-and
then you should hear it 1t utters a SOL
emn. clear bell-note, like the toll of II
distant convent bell, pauses for minute
or two, then gives another toll, another
silence and another toll-and the sound
can be heard three miles off. 1t is n sad
pity the campanero was not at Robins
funeral, for it is gentle creature and its
dress is mos appropriate for such IN
occasion, being snow white, while the
horn is Jet black with n few white feathers.
True, they would have had to send to the
country Of the Amazon for it. but the birds
could have managed that.-S. Nicholas.
DON'T BE Too SENsITIvE.-There are
some people, yes, many people, always
looking out for Sights. They can not
carry on the daily intercourse of the fami-
ly without finding that some offense is
designed. If they meet an acquaintance
who happens to be preoccupied with bust
ness, they attribute his abstraction in some
mode personal to themselves, and take
umbrage accordingly. They lay on others
the fruit of their irritability. and see i'm
pertinence in every one they come in con-
tact with. Innocent persons, who never
dreamed of giving otfense, are astonisled
to find some unfortunate word, or mo-
mentary taciturnity, mistaken for an insult.
To say the least the habit is unfortunate
1t is far wiser to take the more charitable
view of our fellow beings, and not suppose
that slight is intended, unless the neglect
is open and direct. After all, too, life takes
its hues in great degree from the color
of our own mind. If we are frank and
generous, the world treats us kindly; if, on
the contrary, we are suspicious-men
learn to be cold and cautious to us. Let Il
person get the reputation of being touchy,
and everybody is under restraint, and in
this way the chances of an imaginary Of
Tense are vastly ncreased.-ANiance.
