An Owl ON the Ocean.

Birds get lost in the air sometimes, as
really as boys get lost in the woods.
Far northern species are often storm
driven out of their native latitude, and
no doubt may sink in the sea. One day
a steamer which arrived at New York
from Liverpool brought strange pas
senger who had boarded that vessel in
mid-ocean. A large, white owl dropped
on one of the forward spars in an ex-
hausted condition one evening when the
vessel was about 800 miles off the coast
of Newfoundland. When brought to
the deck by a sailor the owl was found
to be nearly dead from cold and hunger,
and almost too weak to eat. It had be-
come greatly emaciated, and trembled
violently in endeavoring to swallow the
first morsel of meat which was placed
in its beak. The owl slowly recovered,
and is now perfectly well. 1t is land
bird, and is supposed to have been blown
off the coast Of Newfoundland by the
westerly gales which had for some days
previous prevailed there. Finding it
self once out at sea, it had probably
ceased making efforts to reach the land
| and had drifted before the gale, it's onl,
efforts being to keep above water. Th'
bird must have possessed remarkabl
powers of endurance to have kept up 81
long.
Morris tribune., 1880-09-30

here, for alwsys thought Mrs. Barton a
kind woman at heart, although she
thought so lightly of economy"
Long did Mr.. Pason and his wife talk
that evening, and month later, Mr.. Bar
ton and family moved into the little cot
tage, while the proprietor OF the large va
riety store rented larger dwelling, with
the agreement that in a short time he
should purchase. Mrs. Pason was fire.
quept visitor at Mrs. Barton's, and when
the new made assistsnt was paid his first
months salary, five dollars were dropped
into a secretive money box, with the re-
solve that next month the same act
should be repeated, and the sum should
be larger.
Reader, we have but little more to add,
only that ten years have passed since Mr.
Pason first took that little hank book in
his hand, and that he is now a wealthy
man, while Mr.. Barton owns the little cot
tage and the adjacent garden. and is &
