In a dininutive CRATE a bright fire was
burning, and it was comfortable enough Af-
ter our cold ride in the chill December even
ing We disposed ourselves costly upon an
oriental looking divan in one corner of tho
room and opened the basket. Before we had
succeeded in getting the viands unpacked.
there was a rustic at the door, and three chill
dren, an olive-colored boy and two Olive-col-
ored girls, entered. Behind them marched
an immense black dog who watched them in
tently while they took some potatoes from a
small basket and placed them in the ashes
under the crate TO roast. 1t appeared that
they had come all the way from the village
to take advantage of this corporation fire. I"
Hearing the unaccustomed accent of q for
eign tongue, and observing that there was
pleasing aroma of food and wine in the air,
the children faced sharply around and salut-
ed us with that pleasant, deprecatory smile
which il always the prelude to a demand for
aims. The oldest of the two girls opened the
campaign. That is our dog" she said.
His name is Leon" The dog, hearing his
name mentioned, came forward and placed
his head good-naturedly on my knee. Un-
der the circumstances we could not do other
wise than invite him to dine with u.s. which
he forthwith did. The children were quieted
with some apples, for on seeing the dogs
good fortune they began to speak out. The
apples went into the ashes with the potatoes,
and what was our surprise to see the mite of
boy, while experimenting this culinary OPP
Grafton, draw forth tobacco and paper from
his pocket and fabricate and smoke a cigar
ette in the most philosophical manner. He
was scarcely nine years of age, but be smoked
with such entire unconsciousness of our OBJ
servation that we felt certain he had acquired
the habit long ago. Leon was excessively
dignifed, and awaited his turn at everything
with no further signs of impatience than .
gentle waving of his black bushy tail. The
children gathered up their potatoes and ap-
pies and receiving thankfully the remnants
of our feast, departed with musical ''BuenAs
noches, Senores cAbAlleros," lowering about
their pretty lips. Leon stalked after them,
snufing at the paper in which they had en-
veloped some chicken bones, and we saw
them no more. We had asked them il there
were any schools in the neighborhood which
they could attend, and their astonished looks
showed that they scarcely knew what We
meant. Their politeness was an instinct,
for it was evident that they had never an
inkling of education. This generation grow
ing up in ignorance and indifference is the
dreadful fact which provokes the despair Of
CASTELAR, and other good and great men in
Spain. EdcdTd King.

How Trout HEAR NOISES IN THE WATER.
Prof. E. d. Cope, a well-known naturalist,
controverts Seth Green's allegation that trout
cannot hear The professor says that there
is nerve at the base of every scale on a
trout, at the point where the scale is united
with the skin. All these nerves. from the
base of every scale, lead to large ganglion
situated on the centre of the forehead of the
fish below the eyes. Nerves from this gan
glion communicate to the internal ear. These
nerves, at the base of each scale, are formed
to receive vibrations in water, Any vibration
in water reaching the scales is thus commu-
nicated to the internal ear If trout were in
flume and one of the timbers that support
ed the fume rested in the running water on
the ground, the vibration of this running wa
ter on the ground would be carried by this
timber to the hume and to the water in it,
four feet above. The ear of the fish would
separate and take cognizance cf the differ
ence in the vibrations, as the human ear dis
tinguishes the difference between the voices
of friends. Prof. Cope's explanation is COM
plete in scientific detail, and is made clear by
a drawing of the scale, ganglions and inter
nal ear. Forest and Stream.

literature comprises many specimens of the
laconic epitaph, but hardly any so noteworthy
as one in the New Church at Amsterdam,

history of this brief epitaph, as transcribed
in my old scrap-book. l don't remember
where 1 got it "These words are inscribed
on an ancient monument of whitish marble,
on which there is also sculptured pair of
slippers. The story runs that gentleman
who was tolerably wealthy, and loved above

that he would only live certain number of
years, and, desirous TO leave none of his
wealth unenjoyed he made nice calculation
Of his fortune, which he SO apportioned for
every year he was TO live (according to his
own notion) as to last exactly the same time
with his life, Curiously enough, it so hap
pened that his calculations did not deceive
him, for he died exactly at the time he had
previously reckoned, and had then so far eI-
hausted his estate that after paying his debts,
there was nothing left but pair of slippers.

HAND-ORGANs. There is only one hand
organ manufacturer in this country-thank
goodness-and his name is Taylor. His mau-
ufactory is in New York, whore he turns out
one or two organs week aud repairs broken

lor says the popular taste for hand-orgau mu-
sic Just now seems to run to light and comic
rather than serious and sentimental airs. For
styles just now, the principal choices
seem to be selections from the Pirates Of
Penzance, Ed. Harrigan's airs, The Jump
ing Jack ; airs from 'Fatnitza, and a variety
of iigs, reels and waltzes The music of the
Pirates is weak, viewed from the hand
organ standpoint. 1t lacks taking airs, mel

that hang on well. Silver Threads Among
the Gold is one of them, and the Sweet By

through Connecticut. Some of Moody and
Sankey's tunes are good to have in working
the rural districts, particularly the sort of
lively ones, such as Where is My Boy To-
NightY Hold the Fort is good, steady

old, good, standard opera, is always well to
throw in. A cylinder with eight or nine tunes

Miscellany.


The snow still patches the mountain ways,
still bare are the trees comprising
The maple slopes in these fresh spring days,
But the sap in the stem is rising
And up through the branches, heavy and damp,
Go curling the smoke-wreaths lightly,
Where the boys aud girls in the sugar camp
Are making their labor sprightly.
Let us after this oI-drawn sledge space,
Which the deep rut slowly follows,
And sec what a joyial gypsy place
They have made Of the lonely hollows.
An! here they are, with their kettles hung
From the bars in the crotehes swinging,
with the red flames under them showing tongue,
And the syrup within them singing.
While drip, drip, drip from the alder spout,
Go the rich, clear Juices dropping,
OF the sort that soon into leaf will sprout,
The branches above oertopping;
And yonder into an untouched tree
The auger is deeply boring,
So, drive in the unpithed reed, and, see,
There's another sap-thread pouring.
Come, stir up The kettles, my little dears,
Nor give DER the laughing and Joking,
II sad old fellow like me appears
In your camp to be idly poking!
For I'm living again, in your joyous ways,
With just such jocuud party
In a sugar camp Of the olden daya,
When was as young and hearty.
was Just such tot as yon lump Of fun
Whose mittens seem half to hide him,
And my handmaid just such another one
As yOn little colleen beside him;
And the mountain echoes gave back our mirth
with Just such an air surprising,
For then, as now, twas the years new birth,
And the sap in the stem was rising.
Tapping the naples, tapping the trees
Hurrah for the sugar-mAkiHg!
Who would not sometime his hreside ease
For such merriment be forsaking!
For mans veins curde with passing years,
But the past there is no forgetting,
And this, Of all ways devised, appears
The peasaniest Of bloud-letting.
