THE COMICAL CROW.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

"Caw! caww sang crow on the edge of a
wood;
''The corn that you gave us is wonderful
good;
But why don't you lay it there all in heap?
You scatter it round and you plant it SO deep
Good farmer it's tiresome to find it, you know"
Said this comical crow.
"Caw! cav! You have stretched, in zig
zaggy way,
string round your acres. | see it to-day:
They'll think it snare,' said you, chuckling
outright.
Your cord is no use, sir, as Pm not a kite.
Sweet farmer, I'd have you continue to SOW"
Said this cOmical crow.
"Caw! cav! You have set little boys on the
fence.
They shout and amuse us-our JOY is intense
You give youself plenty Of trouble for us.
We're only plain folks. Prithee don't make
Kind farmer, we're not used to much Of a
show"
Said this comical crow.
Cav! cav! You have put an old coat on some
sticks
You want to delight us with all sorts Of
tricks.
Unmerited kindness we tenderly feel;
But why don't you leave till we finish our
meal?
Dear farmer, you're not in a hurry to co."
Said this comical crow.
"Caw! cav! You have brought out neat
little gun.
You're going to shoot at the sparrows, for fun.
Oh, ie! we shan't wait till you've loaded it up,
But HE US away to the next field and sup.
Bad farmer, sad farmer, your end will be

big face, carefully shaven, except be-

if it had beeu pressed flat by deter

to reassert itself. His eyes, big, too, were
heavily indignant in expression, suggest
ing thai he h.d never quite gotten over
the affront which nature had put upon
him by fixing his lips permanently in
that shape.
I took his lorgnette with thanks, and
gazed through it at the Pauline" Of the

back, "Wait moment" he said, looking
full at me in rather singular way, "you
haven't seen the best of it. Hold it up,
small end down, at halfarm's length, and
see what the effect will be-"
Doing as he suggested, I met with no
unusual result. He saw, from my face,
that I was puzzled, and, bending near so
as not to attract attention from those
around us, he asked: "Don't you see

Nine. B0naparte's Jewels.

The jewels of Nine. Bonaparte were ap-
praised to-day at the request of her exc
cutor, Charles Joseph Bonaparte, by
Joseph H. Gale, jeweler. Mr.. Gale ex-
pressed the opinion that while the jewels
cost when they were purchased about
$4,000, they would not now sell for that
sum. The most expensive article of the
collection is necklace and pendant
composed of at least 500 diamonds. The
gems are old India stones, superior to
any now in the market, and Mr.. Gale
says they are handsomer than any he has
ever seen. The necklace was the gift of
distinguished nobleman to Nine. Bona
parte while in Europe. Mr.. Gale ap-
praised it at $4,000, though he is of the
opinion that but for the antiquity and
the associations connected with it the
necklace would not now sell for more
than $4,000. Some of the dia-
munds in this superb ornament weigh
two and half carats each, and the others
are smaller. The collection coz sists of
necklaces, fnger-rings, antiques, vinaig
rettes, Donbon-boxes, earrings, and other
articles. They were presents from her
her relatives and friends, from her hus :.
band during her brief married life, and
from persons she met during her extend
ed visit to Europe. One fine cameo ring
is valued at $50. One pair of diamond
earrings, leaf shaped, are exceedingly
beautiful They consist of two large
solitaires at the top, with smaller dia-
monds forming the leaves below. Tley
are worth $1,000. A crown of amethysts
and pearls was very costly but now worth
only $500. There are four pearl neck
laces, the lowest in value being appraised
at $50 and the highest $500 Two an
tiques in the collection are superb speci-
mems, and would bring large sums if sold.
One Of the greatest curiosities in the lot
is bracelet nade of gold wire, about
twenty-five carat fne, made from gold
found on an arm of a skeleton discovered
in the ruins OF Pompeii. There is black
enameled bracelet, made in Paris and
set with American quarter eagle gold
pie ces, worth $1OO. Another bracelet is
made of six five dollar gold pieces and a
French coin linked together with gold.
There are three gold watches, unique
and beautiful, but not of much intrinsic
value. Two of them have PLAIN hunting
cases, blue enameIed open faces; and the
third is double-case watch, ornamented
with pearls One OF these watches was a
present to Nine Bonaparte while she was
Miss Elizabeth Patterson from her grand
father: and Mr. Gale is of the opinion,
from its style, that it was mads 800 years
ago. The appraisement was a matter of
form accordin to the rules of the Or
phans' Court. and was made at the Office
of Mr.. Bonaparte, executor OF the estate
of his grand mother. There is no inten-
ton OF Offering me articles for sale, and
they will be preserved in the family.

Tripping up a Tenor.

While on tour IN Ireland, the tenor
fell i'll aisd was replaced by youthful
aspirant to operatic honors of exceeding
ingly dimiEutive stature and of mean
capacity, whose birthplace was Dublin,
and whose friends had engaged the man
ager. But the little man could neither
sing nor act, and his concclt was, strange
to say, as great as his ignorance. Nine.
Rudersdorff soon lost patience with him,
and determined 10 rid the company IF
this incumbus. The opportunity soon
occurred, and in Dublin. 1t doesn't much
signify what opera was being performed,
but Nine. Rudersdorff wore very long
dress. The unhappy youth could in no
way avoid this very long dress; in whatev-
er position he placed himself, somehow or
other he always found himself standing
upon Nine. Rudersdorffs train. He
would no sooner disentargie himself and
seize the opportunity to strike pic
turesque :ttitude, when 10, he beheld the
pale pink simmer Of Nine. Rudersdorf's
robe beneath his feet.
Madame was exasperated beyond all en-
durance; her finest effects were spoiled by
the persistant awkwardness Of the youth
full aspirant. "If you step on my dress
again I give you my word, will trip
you upr" The light tenor fled ir horror
to another part OF the stage. Again he
was compelled to approach in order to
sing in trio-a few bars-and hehold
he was firmly, but unconsciously, planted
on the dress once more. Nine. Ruders-
dorff seized her train with both her hands
and stepped swiftly on one side. The
youthful aspirant's legs were drawn from
under him, and he measured his length
on the boards. Only those who have
played before an Irish audience can form
an idea of the effect this produced in the
house. In vain he gesticulated wildly,
in vain he endeavored to sing; he actually
attempted protest--the result was only
shrek after shrek of laughter. 1t is
not necessary to add that the very light
tenor never appeared again in Dublin.

A lady was entertaining the Bishop of

always their guest on the occasions of
his visitations to the Parish.
On Sunday morning after his arrival
the lady's little son sidled up to him
Just after breakfast.
"Bishop," said he, 'swould you like to
look at my piggie book2"
"Why, yes" replied the church digni-

A Prompt Man.

People never tire, says "Causeur" in
the Transcript, of hearing stories of the
late Colonel Isaac O. Barnes, of this city,
while United States Marshal of this dis
trict. He was large man, fond of chat
ting with friends, and possessed withal
thin, piping, squeaky voice that was all
his own. He disliked restraint Of any
kind, and was specially averse to religious
services, chiefly because he had to keep
silent while they lasted. He had an old
friend-Mr. Kidder Marshall-to whom
he was warmly attached, and when Mr..
Marshall died, felt it his duty to attend
the funeral, which took place in Fitch
burg. It was hot sticky day in sum-
mer, and the ride from Boston in the
cars was anything but pleasant. Arrived
at the house of the deceased friend, he
found large gathering in the parlor,
wedged himself into an armchair several
sizes too small for his ample person,
settled himself as best he could, and
'sigetted." It so CHANGED that two
clergymen conducted the services, which
were so protracted that two hours had
passed before the last samen" had been
said. In the midst Of the solemn pause
that followed it, Colonel Barnes, who
could "hold in" no longer, turned to the
gentleman next him, and, in voice
pitched in high key, said, 'Did you
know Kid?" II did," said his fellow
mourner, in deep hushed voice. "He
was a nice fellow, wasn't he?" piped
Barnes. "He was" answered his neigh
bor,still in the same mournful tone. eyes,
and he was mighty smart fellow, too,"
continued the Colonel, now giving his
shrill voice fee play, and wiping the
beads from his forehead; ''if he'd had the
running of this funeral, he'd been under
ground an hour and half ago.

wHAr1sAwrH1s SPRING.

I saw q blue bird
Free from care
Floating along
Singing song
III the morning air;
Circling down,
He lit on the crown
OF a king-cup brown,
And filled its cell
With the tremendous swell
OF thrilling note
From his throbbing throat.
I saw crocus
Lifting up
Its dainty cup
To catch pearl
From a cloudlet's curl,
Ere, floating light.
Like cygnet white,
1t settled to rest
In the amber west
I saw a spirit.
A spirit of Love
Downward come
From a golden dome,
Leading along
A rosy throng
Of daisies pied
And fo.r o'clocks,
OF violets,
And spatterdocks;
Feeding them dew
From cloudlets blue,
Adding to this
Her royal kiss,
For she was Queen
Queen of the spring.
