the song Of the canary is not so much valued
as its elegant shape or brilliant color. Ger
many is the great centre whence the world is
supplied with singing Birds and in Germany
the business of raising the birds and getting
them ready to send abroad, is chiefly carried
on in the villages among the Hartz noun
tains of Hanover. The people there are mi
ners and cattle drovers5 but, being poor, al
most every family deyotes its spare time to
rearing canaries, and making the little wood
en- cages in which they are carried to the dis
tant railway or seaport. The houses are small ;

rated from the rest by q light partition, and
given to the birds for their own use, where, in
cups, boxes and gourd shells, they build their
nests and hatch their eggs, secure from all
harm. When the breeding season is over,
all the young birds are taken to. Bremen or
Hamburg, to be sent across the ocean to Eng.
land, America, or away round to India and
China. These voyages are made only in the
Winter, however, because it was found that in
Summer travelling, the birds lost their voice
and plumage but that season is so cold and
stormy that, usually, from quarter to a half
of the cargo perishes before reaching the
shore So many birds are sent, nevertheless,
that probably $4,000 came to New York alive
last year from Europe These are distributed
through large number of bird shops in the
city, and the deafening chorus which lis kept

birds singing at the top of their voices in q

many evasions, that he was instantly commit
ted for trial.
At the trial, Morgan again deposed that ne
had seen the murder committed. The girl
again swore to the concealing of the money,
and the constable proved having found 1t ac-
cording to her statement.
Harris had nothing to say except that
Morgan's evidence was entirely false, that the
buried money was his own, put away for bet
ter security. The judge summed up; the
jury found the prisoner guilty, and ne was
condemned to die
Harris seemed to have taken his sentence
meekly. He persisted in his innocence, and
only lamented the sordidness Of temper which,
he said, had led him into a general distrust-
fulness, and into such ways as this of hiding
his money, which had proved his ruin.
After their masters death, Morgan and the
maid were married. They lived very unhap-
PLY, and at last the wife disclosed the whole
story. They had both known their masters
miserly temper, and the girl had found out
that be buried money in the garden, fact
which she reported to Morgan. They resolved
to let him 90 on doing so until it should
amount to a considerable sum, when they
purposed to seize it and decamp.
One day Harris and Morgan had bitter
quarrel, and the master struck the man, whose
sullen temper instantly formed resolution
to revenge himself At this crisis the black
smith arrived. The next morning, Morgan
himself found him dead in his bed. With
diabolical inspiration he resolved to charge
his master with the murder, and to plunder
that masters hoard while he was in prison,
thus at once gratifying his hatred and his
greed. Of this scheme he apprised the girl,
and secured her approval. But when she
found that the accusation was not sufficiently
supported, while some words dropped in
court led her to fear that if her master was
released her lover might be apprehended, she
resolved to sacrifice both the money and her
master, to secure the safety Of the wretch,
Morgan.
After this confession, she and her husband
were both thrown into prison, but escaped
their public punishment BY dying Of jail fe-
ver.g 1t was afterwards found, by some quite
unexpected information, that the blacksmith
had had two previous attacks of apoplexy,
and had never, at any time, owned as much
as five pounds in money.

TIME RUNS ON.

ol>s -
We see the blossoms brightly glow,
We listen to the brooklet's fiow,
We hear the gay birds merry call,
We note the blue sky over all;
.Lo! while we say 1.-THE world is sweet
The white frost chills our waiting feet.
The babe, now cradled in our arms,
Tomorrow wakes to girlhood's charms:
Anon a captive maiden stands,
A willing captive in loves bands;
Ere long, q world-worn train await ts.
Their summons through deaths somber gate
From flower to fruit is but day;
From youth to age swift, brief way;
Yet. if we garner fast and well,
The ripening harvest who can tell?
For time runs on yet every hour fr.s.a
Is rich with some God given power. f
All up and down the world we see .-.
Life's royal gifts as scattered free;
The patient hand has but to bind
The bounteous sheaves, each year to hnd
Earth's green and gold will turn to wheat;
Though time runs on, the world is sweet.
We may not find the Autumn way
Has Just the glory Of the May,
And silver head and waning sight
Nav feel "lifes Summer was so bright;'
And vet chastened beauty glows .-....,,
Where full rich lives grow near their close.
The world is sweet, yet time runs on;
And when our songs, our flowers are gone,
Lo! others will the sickle WELD
Adown the same bright harvest field;
And others wstch, on sunny ewes.
The reapers bringing home their sheayes.
