THE VILLAGE sToRK.
BAYAnD TAYLoR's LAST rorM.


The old Hyrcanian Forest sent
His weather on the plain
Wahlwinkel's orchards wrthed and bent
In whirls Of wind and rain
Within her nest upon the roof
For generations tempestproof
Wahlwinkel's stork with her young ones lay,
When the hand Of the hurricane tore away
The house and the home that held them,
The storm passed by; the happy trees
Stood up and kissed the sun,
And from the binds new melodies
Came iiuting one by one.
The stork, upon the paths below,
Went sadly pacing to and fro,
With dropping plumes and head depressed
For the thought Of the spoiled ancestral nest
And the old inherited honor
Behold her now - the throstle sang
From out the linden tree;
who knows from what line she sprang.
Beyond the unknown seag'
"If she could sing, perchance her tale
Might move u.s." ehirruped the nightingale.
"sng7 she can only rattle and creakr'
Whstled the bulinch, with silver beak
Within the wires Of his prison.
And all birds there, or loud or low,
Wore one In scoif and scorn;
But stlll the stork paced TO and fro
As utterly forlorn.
Then suddenly in turn ofeye,
She saw poet pAssingby
And the thought in his brain was an arrow Of fire
That pierced her with passion and pride and ire
And gave her voice to answer
She raised her head and shook her wings
And faced the piping crowd.
Best service" she said, never sings"
True honor Is not loud,
My kindred carol not nor boast;
Yet we are loved and welcomed most
And our ancient race Is dearest and first
And the hand that hurts us is held acenrscd
In every home OF wahlwlnkel!
Beneath sky forever fur,
And with u summer sod,
The land come from smiles and there
My brother was a god
Ny nest upon temple stands
And secs the shine Of desert lands;
And the palm and the iamarisk cool my wings,
when the blazing beam OF noontde stings,
And drink from the holy river!
AntIc am shcIeut eNcu hh ntIct
Yet dare | not be lost,
When meads are bright, hearts full OF cheer,
At bllthsOme Pentecost.
Then from mine obelisk depart
Guided by something in my heart,
And swept in line over Libyan SandS
To the blossoming olives OF Grecian lands,
And rest on the Cretan Idal
"Parnassus sees me as sail
cross the Adrian brine:
The distant SUBMITS fade and fall.
Dalmatlan, Apennine;
The Alpine SHOWS beneath me gleam
| sec the yellow Danube stream
But hasten on until my spent wings fall
Where bring blessing to one and ALL
And babes 10 the wives of wahlwlnkelg'
She dropped her head and spake no more;
The birds on either hand
Sang louder lustier than before
They could not understand.
Thus mused the stork, with snap Of beak;
Better be silent than TO speak
Highest being can never be taught:
They have their voices, my thought
And they were never In EgyptT

The Boston Adperiser says :--ssAn
amusing incident occurred in one Of our
popular churches last Sunday, that de-
serves TO be recorded. A stout lady dur
ing the sermon exhibited symptoms Of
iainting, when young physician, not
much more than half her weight, eallautly
put his arms about her waist and dragged
her into the aisle, but was unable to take
her farther. One of the deacons came to
the rescue, and seizing the lady by tho
pedal extremities, the two carried her
bodily out into the yestibule, where she
speedily "came to- and Indignantly de-
manded Of her kind friends what she had
done that she should be SO forcibly re-
moved, the truth being that she was only
indulging in a good map
