A PR4 YING PARROT.

Captain James Etchberger youches for the
following bird story told in the Baltimore
News About thirty years ago, when in Hon.
duras IN command Of the bark Eldorado, his
wife, accompanying him, was presented with
a parrot, a sprightly bird and fluent dis
coiilser in Che Spanish language. The bird
was brought to Baltimore, whore, when DOM
ioiled in the house of the captain, it soon ac-
quired 4 knowledge of English. The next
door neghbor of tie captain was a gairulous
woman-an incessaut scold--forever quarrel
ling with some one or something. Polly, be-
ing allowed full liberty, was pleased to take
an airing on the yard fence, and in a short
time had learned to mimic the scoding neigh
Dor to peffectionl and finally became aggress-
i've. The bird not infrequently rued its i'm
pertinence by being knocked off the fence
with d broomstick. This brought forth tor
rent of abuse from its injured feelings upon
the head of its assailant. Finally the birds
language became SO abusive that the captain
was obliged to send it away, and Polly was
transferred to 4 good Christian family in the
country, where in the course of time It re-
formed, and became to some extent n bird of
edifying piety. Some time ago, while it was
summing itself fn the garden, large hawk
swooped down and bore the distressful parrot
off as a prize It's recent training came to its
assistance, as at the top Of its voice it sbriek-
ed, o Lord save me ! o Lord, save me -
The hawk became so terrified at the unex-
pected cry, that he dropped his intended din
ner and SCARED away in the distano Polly
still survives the attempted abduction.

THE SAILS WE SEE.


The sails we see on the ocean
Are as white as white can bel
But never one in the harbor
As white ~ the sails at sea.
And the clouds that crown the mountains
With purple and gold delight
Turn to cold gray mist and vapor
Ere ever we reach the height.
The mountains wear crowns of glory
Only when seen from afar,
Aud the sails lose alltheir whiteness
Inside of the harbor bar.
Oh, distance thou dear enchanter!
still hold in thy magic veil
The glory of fer of mountains,
The gleaft Of the far off sail.

4 Rifle Wins n Bride.

The news of the curious sequel of a
love affair has just reached here from
Port Townsend. A certain young man
i'll that county fell in love with beauti-
ful young lady residing near Port
Townsend. His passion being promptly
reciproGated marriage was soon pro-
posed; but the yonng lady's parents
would have none of this. The father
and belligerent uncle threatened to do
the young Romeo serious personal in
Jury IN case his attentions TO his fiancee
were continued, and forbade him ever
again entering the premises. The
young lady is represented as having
been bitterly prosecuted ON account Of
her refusal to dlscountenanee the dis
carded sutton. The young man becom-
ing aware ci this fact determined at
once to consummate the nuptials, which
it was determined to celebrate on
Christmas. Accordingly, procuring
license and the service OF the neces-
aarily constituted authority, and withal
a good Winchester rifle, repaired AT
once to heabode Of the young womans
parents. Encountering the father and
the irate uncle in the yard, he bade

4 Fatal BOX on the Ear.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

The practice, which is sadly too prev
alent among schoolmasters and school
mistresses, of "hoNing the ears" Of their
pupils has been frequently shown to be
dangerous one, and probably many
more injuries result rom it than are
ever heard OF or ever suspected. A
blow en- the head may easily produce
fatal injuries, ana lesson on this point
well worth the attention OF hasty.tem-
pered teachers is conveyed by the eSi-
dence given i'll the case of n man who
WAS tried this week NJ the Central Court
for manslaughter. The case rs the
was remarkable in Its surgical aspects.
The deceased was gatekeeper at some
paper-mills at Nandsworth. The pris-
oner went there on the 25th of August
to seek employment. As he was com.
ing cut the decaa> "a refused to let him
pass through the gate known rs the
traffic gate" The prisoner, however,
watching his opportunity, managed To
pass through the gate, and AS he did so
the deceased kicked him. The prison
er struck the deceased, but whether
with his fist or open hand was not clear.
The deceased fell down, and although
he bled from the mouth, was able to
give evidence against the prisoner on
the Sth OF September. He died, how
ever, ON the 10Th of that month, his
death resulting from hemorrhage
caused by the severance Of an artery
i'll the mouth, and, strange to say, the
artpry bad hepp Divided bv a piaea If
fractured bone, his jaw having been
broken by the blow received from the
prisoner. The jury having rendered n
verdict of guilty, the judge said that
he would not inilict any punishment in
the case, but simply directed the pris.
oner to enter into his own recognizance
to come up for judgment when called
on. In the meantime, the story shows
