naughty, wicked bird-you ,horrid bird,
you kitchen bridget out get out?
Away with youi' After this, we saw it
was useless to employ her as an instruc-
tress, and 50 sent the despised bird home.
Nevertheless she had her favorites, and
was very kind to them. She was very
fond of the Cat, and would call her to
the cage. But the most singular fancy
she took was to little mouse. The
winter was very cold, and as Polly suf-
fered much from it, she was taken every
night to my bedroom, where there was
fire, and her cage placed on low stool
near it. One night l heard her talking
in a low tone. l listened and heard her
say: "Pretty little dear--pretty darling.
Polly won't hurt you-Polly won't bite
you"
Wondering what she meant-for was
sure that she was not talking to me
| got out Of bed and went to her cage.
There, in the bottom of the cage, was
little mouse underneath the wires, feed
ing quite contentedly, and without any
sign of fear l often saw the tiny crea-
ture come in and out of Polly's cage,
nor did she ever attempt to injure it or
drive 1t away. Her speech was very Pc
culiar when those she did not like were
present. She had great dislike to my
husband; suppose from feeling Of
jealousy, and always seemed unhappy
when he was near. A few months after
our marriage, we paid short visit to
my father, and one day when I was alone
with Poll in the dining-room she said ia
me in her tenderest tones, "Why did
you 60 away and get married, dearw
Why did you 20 to Scotland and leave
your own Pollyf Polly loves you.
Don't 60 away again and leave me!
Ma cried when you left and went away.
Don't leave Polly againw
He had never before heard her speak i,
in such gentle manner, and before my
husband entered the room, he thought I
was in conversation with friend, and
paused outside to listen. He has never
forgotten the impression made upon him
by that touching eolloquy. We had to {
leave Polly behind, under mammals care,
and in writing to me sfterward, she told
me that the dear bird would talk about
me continually. One day mamma said
to her: "Polly, am writing to your mis-
tress. Shall I send your lover'
"Oh, yes; and here's pretty feather.
E. loves Polly's feathers" 1t was
sent to me and have it still. But un-
fortunately for Polly's beauty, she bit of
nearly all her scarlet feathers to send to
me! art
When I revisited my former home I
took my little baby with me. Polly wss
delighted. 1t WAS something belonging
to her dear mistress, and must be loved.
When any one called she would say,
"Have you seen the baby? Such
beauty! Give it to me. Polly won't
bite it; Polly will only kiss it." had
full confidence in her love for me; but I
need scarcely say never tried her affec-
ton for the little one. She, like other
pets, has passed away, but is not for
gotten. ..4.

Gold and silver Produced Annually
GTbe Athenaum.7

The quantity of silver produced
annually in the world amounts to not
less than 6,000, 900 pounds troy, and that
of gold may be estimated at more than
100000 pounds troy; the value of silver
being above 91G,o0o,0o0, and that Of the
gold not less than 92S,000,000. The
labor expended in mining for silver ore
in the deep recesses of the mountains,
and that which is devoted to the washing
of alluyial deposits-the relics of the
cataclysms of former ages-and to the
tedions exploration of quartz reefs, repre-
sents vast Expenditure of vital effort.

ing plan by which ammonium sulphate
can be made and sold with profit at
cents a pound will not, therefore, be LA
BILE to be underestimated. The following
account of the process is taken from the
Chemical News: "Within the last twenty
years the manufacture of ammonia syn.
thetically has been several times attempt
ed, and though in every attempt it is prUb.
able that ammonia has been made, 1t has
never been produced on a commercial
scale. In all these attempts the process
has been to combine the nitrogen and
hydrogen directly at low temperature,
and receive the ammonia in solution
in water, or by substitution, first forming
a cyanide at higher heat, and then in
directly producing ammonia by the de-
composition of the cyanide. the result in
both cases being ammonia in solution
with water. Hickman and Thompson's
procedure is altogether different; they
produce ammonium chloride direct,
either in dry powder or in solution, and
this by the simplest and inexpensive
means. Instead of employing retorts, as
in all other cases, they merely use a
closed brick furnace, the ash-pan of
which regulates the supply of air, and
they cause the vapor of water to be pro-
duced by the waste heat of the fur
mace itself. With the exception of
about a bushel of coke for start
ing the furnace, the deoxodizing mate
rial and only fuel used is coal-dust. The
great difficulty in making ammonia
from the nascent hydrogen of water and
the nitrogen of the air is the restricted
limits of temperature between genera
ton and decomposition; it being neces-
sary that carbon, however used, should
be at a full red heat to decompose the
vapor of water, and at a bright red heat
to decompose ammonia. Now, ammo
mum chloride, under the same condi-
tions, is simply volatilized and not de-
composed. As chloride of sodium or of
calcium is deeomposed at full red heat
in presence of nascent ammonia, there
fore one of these chlorides is mixed with
the coal that ammonium chloride may
be formed; so that if by chance the heat
should be raised to a bright red, no loss
will be sustained-the ammonium chic
ride is simply volatilized. By these
means a greater range Of working tenn
perature is obtained. At the present
time, with the consumption Of from
twenty to twenty-eight pounds Of coal
dust and salt mixed, from two to three
pounds of ammonium chloride is
formed"

Tactics for II issing.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun has I'M
earthed an old Confederate publication
which contains the following "tactics for
kissing" said to have been prescribed by
authority for the Confederate soldiers:
(Recruit is placed in front of the
piece.)
First motion-Bend the right knee,
straighten the left, bring the head ON a
line with the face of the piece; at the
same time extend the arms and clasp the
cheeks of the piece firmly in both hands.
Second motion-Bend the body slightly
forward; pucker the mouth and apply
the lips promptly to the muzzle mould
ings.
Third motion-Break off promptly on
both legs to escape the jarring or injury
should the piece recoil.
Like most of the stiff rules observed
by the military on holiday parades and
exhibition drills, the motions here de-
scribed, however we'll adapted they may
be to the light, snowy work of kissing
babies or ones female relatives, are not
applicable to exciting, energetic business,
such as kissing somebody else's female
relatives. This is the opinion of gen.
tleman in the Advance Office, for whose
experience and judgment we have high
respect. He says that the latter style Of
kissing is necessarily on the "go-as-you-
please, "catch-if-you-can" principle, and
that it is the baldest kind of folly to
attempt to fix a formula to be adhered
to, irrespective of the temperaments and
circumstances of the parties. We con
fess that our friends views strike us as
