she had been tenderly cared for, which
was great mystery to Biddy, and on
Christmas morning she had walked ND to
find beautiful fresh Christmas greens on
the wall at the foot of her little cot and
around the window, and lady standing
in this window, while little girl held
out to Biddy bunch of flowers that
smelled as sweet as whole summer gar
den.
Biddy had not understood the mean
ing of these things she had only wear
lily noticed that the little girl was pretty.
and not at all like her, and that the flow
ers and green's were "jolly." That day,
when she fled with her doll, she thought
of the hospital, and, though she did not
understand any better than before why
there should be such great difference in
the lives of little children, she for the
first time felt that the lady and her little
girl had been kind, had been sorry for
her. So you see that even after so long
a time as a whole year, little seed Of
kindness may sprout in the heart, and
don't you think, dear children, you who
have every day the good luck Of health,
happy homes, and pleasant things, that
it would be delightful to bring Just one
taste of such luck to the little ones in
the hospitals

His Reasoning Powers.

A couple of old darkies met and be-
gan talking over matters and things.
''How is ole Col Jones comm on,
what used to own you before de war?
He is so old he must be gettin' to be
childish and losin' his reasoning powers. p"
"Don't know muffin about him-haint
seed him since befoah last Christmas.
"Why, what's de matter?"
"Ain't got no use for such ole gem
mans. Last time I was dar 1 fetched
him big reddish had cotched. I tole
him eff he would gimme a table-knife
[ would scrape an clean de fish. What
do you s'pose he said?"
"Asked yer to come in and get q
dram, and chat awhile about ole times
on de ole plantation.
Ono, sab he tole me eff / couldn't
borry table-knife from some of de ma
bors dat he would RAIDER clean de fish
himself. s'pose he was afcard I'd be
keerless in handin' de knife back when I
got done wild it"
The other darby rubbed his chin and
remarked:
81 see by dat ar dat de ole mans still
got de use Of his reasonin' powers"

Habits.

Habit constantly strengthens all our
active exertions. Whatever we do often,
we become more and more apt to do. A
snuff-taker begins with pinch Of snuff
per day, and ends with pound or two
every month. Swearing begins in anger !;
1t ends by mingling itself with ordinary
conversation. Such like instances are
OF too common notoriety to need that
they be adduced; but, as I before o.
served, at the very time that the ten
dency to do the thing is every day in
ereasing, the pleasure resulting from it
Is, byt the blunted sensibility of the bodi
~ organ, diminished, and the desire Is
irresistible, though the qualification is
nothing. There is rather an entertain
ing example of this in Fielding's ''Lfe
of Jonathan Wild" in that scene where
he is represented as playing at cards
with the Count, professional gambler.
Such, says Mr.. Fielding, "was the
power of habit over the minds of these
hlustrious persons, that Mr. Wild could
not keep his hands out of the Counts
pockets, though he knew they were
empty nor could the Count abstain
from palming a card, although he was
well aware that Mr.. Wild had no money
to pay him."

A Radical Change.

The rapidity with which the world
progresses is astounding. The fashions
for girls who elope just now are very
plain. Some white drapery, conven-
lent window, a long ladder, dark night,
o coach, minister, and the house of
friend, and the elopement is over. II
the irate father, armed with a double
barreled coal shovel and q town con-
stable, does not pursue, the affair is, al
though picturesque, not exactly sue
cessful elopement. If the father of the
bride relents within two days the foolish
couple are not happy. If it leaks out
that the mother of the bride is in the
secret much of the pleasure of the trip is
spoiled. If both the father and mother
of the bride are In the secret of her 60
ing away and have actually left the lad
der near the window, and that fact is
found out, the elopement is failure. In
the olden time the elopement bride
packed all her portable goods on herself,
and went away heavily laden. Now, as
she is about to return In day or two in
her lady-friend's dress, she goes away
quite light.

Bee Ranching in California.

California is famous country for bees
and the making of honey and at many
a breakfast table in distant Europe to-
day the waffle is spread with the sweets
that have been filched from the hearts
OF thousand California flowers. In the
mouth of almost every canyon there is
bee-ranch or apiary, whose owner grows
1ndolent and prosperous from the labors
OF his industrious subjects. Here there
Is no long winter with dearth of flowers,
through which the patient workers must
be nursed and fed, in order that they
may live until the opening of the next
field season.
These bee-ranches are models of neat
ness and domestic comfort and the
profession of Bookkeeping is rapidly be-
coming popular among persons of little
physical strength or small financial cap
ltal, or both, such as maiden ladies,
broken-dOwnm ministers, bachelor students
and those d5lettante farmers who fancy
that the royal road to bucolic happiness
lies through the tlowery beds of a bee
pasture. Their expenses are as light as
those of hermit in his cave; and what
stores of honey are laid up are so much
clear gain, as the bees board themselves
while they work, and work INCREASINGLY
III the preparation for the winter which
never comes.
When the hive is full the cakes of
comb are removed, the liquid is extract
ed from the cells, and the empty cups
are replaced, to be filed again and
again. This economical process pre-
vents waste of labor and time in gather
ing of wax for the building of new bins
In the storehouse.
Walking out in the morning in the
green brush-wood of these canyons, you
hear loud and continuous buzzing OF
wings, and, although there may not be
flower In sight, it is as ceaseless and
strong as in buckwheat patch OF clover
field at home. This humming of bees
is natures tenor voice, as the roaring of
the water is her bass. There are
cures for homesickness in the bees mon
otone, even though the authors thereof
be perfectly wild-as, indeed, many of
them are. In such a country you can
not feel utterly lonesome and lost.

East Indian Snakes and Wolves.

An East India paper says: "One
thousand two hundred and sixty-four
persons were killed by wild animals and
9,515 by snakes in the Presidency of
Bengal last year. In the same period
the number of cattle destroyed was up
ward of $4,000. This, says Bombay
paper, is o considerable bill of mortality
for one Presidency, but we suppose in
this, as In all other matters, as is so
often asserted, the minor Presidencies
must admit the superiority OF Bengal.
Compared with the returns of 1878, the
figures quoted from an interesting state
ment just issued by Mr.. Counsel, the
Acting Registrar, show a considerable
increase. In one respect, however, there
was falling off, namely, in the number
OF persons killed by enthusiastically
three, against 152 in 1878. Probably
wolves are less voracious in Bengal than
they used to be, but the shikars, anna
teur and professional, have not shown
more consideration for them than for
merly. Indeed, the sportsmen have met
with greater success than ever, for
nearly 500 more were killed than in the
previous twelve months. Altogether
5,543 wild animals were destroyed dur
ing the past year. From the statistics
sent IN to Government it appears that
u, 1O2 snakes were killed, against "a, 276
IN 1878, but the actual number was
probably very much larger The re-
turns relate only to the snakes for the
destruction of which rewards were paid.
These rewards are only given for CO.
bras, daboras, and keraits destroyed
within the limits Of towns, municipali-
ties, and villages in which the Village
Chowkidaree act is in force, and it seems
that many persons who destroy venomous
snakes, even within the limits for which
rewards are given, never ask for the
money to which they are entitled The
