A pleasing sight may be witness
ed at Maguolia-s lady standing 10
the doorway of her dwelling, with
some dozen little forest birds flitting
about her and feeding from the palm
of her extended hand. From one to
four birds at time will feed from
her hands seemingly with a sense of
perfect safety, while others will snap
up crumb, dart off to tree or roof,
devour it and come back for another.
When the supply of food runs short
they will alight and peck at the bot
tom Of her dress. An observer OF
this interesting scene must keep at
proper distance and remain silent
or the birds will be frightened away.
While feeding them the lady keeps
up a constant chatting, which they
seem to understand, and respond by
chipping. They know her voice and
will come at her bidding, however
much she may disguise herself If
she neglects them in the msrning
they will hutter their wings against
the window pane to attract her at
tention, and she never fails TO answer
their summons. Their confidence
was of gradual growth, commencing
some six years ago, when shelves
were attached 20 the outside window
stills and crumbs of bread, meat,
cheese, &C., were placed there for
their reflection, the lady standing in
side and talking kindly to them
while they fed themselves, now aud
then indulgng in reprimand when
they were selfish and quarrelsome.
From the window they were led in
time to the doorway for their daily
rations. Her little flock make their
appearance in the winter when the
ground IS first covered with snow,
their hours fer meals being at sun
rise and late in the afternoon. As
soon as their wants are supplied they
are off 70 the woods again. The visi-
tors evidently belong To the same
stock, some Of them returning from
year to year and recognizing the
lady's voice, for at their first appear.
ance annually a part Of them will
come to her hand at her first call,
while no other person can approach

Tongues unguarded throw disaster,
Right ana left for words run wild,
Cutting deep. dividing fond hearts.
Turning parents from child.
Pleading cannot stay their mischiefs,
Tears cannot assuage each wound
Sorrow hovers Ger the places
Where unguarded tongues are found.
1 have seen the laugh Of childhood
Checked by some forbidden tone,
For harsh words of constant Gliding
Wear like drippings on stone.
Fed by frowns, the child Of nature
Dons moody, sullen air,
Innocence gives place to boldness,
Joyfulness to grim despair.
I have seen the cheeks Of childhood
Blanch beneath thoughtless word,
While rush of bitter anguish
An unsought the young heart stirred.
Visions of faithless lover,
Trusted while the trust proved vain
These cold words Of careless meaning
quick aroused to fresh, deep pain.
I have seen the eye Of old age
Under tears grow dim and blurred
Tears that gathered first by tauntings,
Or by some unfeeling word
Sad, indeed, to see the aged
Hurried to their graves by woe!
But they whisper very often
"We are burdens, well we know"
Oh, how keen wedge is driven
In fond hearts by words that sting
Words that ever stand out boldly,
Though years pass and changes ring
Uukind words were better banished
From the lips of old and young;
Each should learn and heed the motto,
"set q guard upon thy tongue"

For the speedy and certain cure of all
malarial diseases, no medicine has been
yet invented equal to DR.. G. p. Duncan's
celebrated Chill Tonic. It contains no
arsenic, strychnine, or quinnine, in any
form; consequently it produces none of
the bad effects which SO commonly re-
suit from the use of those mineral and
poisonous medicines. Duncan's Chill

is doubtful whether any other agency
can ever effect it, The people read
newspapers more than books or maya
zines, aud the daily practice upon the
new system which would be furnished
by the journals would educate the
readers very rapidly. The Minneapo-
lis Tribune suggests that if even a
respectable minority Of the press will
unite upon u new system of spelling,
the battle will be half won, and To
this end advises a convention of edi-
tors to consider the initial steps and
lay out a definite plan for a war upon
the hard words and s~uperhuous letters
of our language"
A memorial to congress has been
numerously signed by thousands of
professors, teachers and others, asking
the appointment of a commission to
examine and report how far a revision
of English spelling is desirable and
which amendments in orthografy, il
any, may be wisely introduced into the
public documents and the schools of
the District Of Columbia, and accept
ed in examinations for the civil SER
vice; and whether it is expedient to
move the government ofGreat Britain
to unite in constituting a ioint-com-
mittee to consider such amendments.
Hon. A. II. Stephens Of Georgia, too,
Is warmly interested in the reform,
has taken charge of the memorial and
will present it when congress meets.
The great argument for the spelling
reform is the fact that through it sew
eral years of every child's school life
will be saved. A great outerv is be-
ing raised for higher education of
various kinds. for technical education,
for scientific education, for esthetic
education, etc. And is quite right
that it should be raised; but it is I'M
possible to do anything more so long
as we throw away two or three years
in teaching children to spell.
