a Birds Fear og the i.ead.

From the tieutleman's Magazine
It is not mere sentimenlslism that pleads
in favor of the most meredith form of
death being adopted in the case Of
Strengthening OF animals intended for
human consumption. There is no
question that much suffering would be
spared cattle if they were not allowed to
see each other slaughtered. Not easy is
il to conceive the kind of torture they feel
and can not express. How oDBervant are
animals Is proved by case which came
under my own observation. Among the
inmates of my house is a jackdaw, as
illgrained and vituperative bid as ever
accepted, under protest, human com
partnership and human attention. 1t
prefers so distinctly sleeping in cage
where no enemy can assail him Wills he is
off his guard that he is allowed to have
his own way in the matter. One day
while he was in the cage, some dead
pheasants, which had just arrived in a
hamper, were placed beside him. His
| dread of these was remarkable to witness.
A bird whose whole time was passed in
| defiance of things stronger than himself,
in aggravating msstiff that would not
make two bites of him, or in pinchinp
surreptitiously the hamboysnt tail of his
arch enemy, the cat, when it came within
reach of his cage, went at this sight into
an ecstasy of terror, which could net be
sppeased until the uncanny objects were
\ removed What instinct caused thii
strange demonstration in the presence Of
death shown In one Of its own race, albei
of so different species, is not to b;
guessed. Much food for reflection ant
speculation is, however, afforded

A VARIATION.

Where'er 90, hear anon
An endless twang and twiddle,
For all tie ton are playing on
The banjo and the fiddle.
| cannot make call in peace,
Upon my fair eHslavers,
This new caprice doth so increase
Their crotChets and their quavers.
For scarcely now word is said
OF archery or tennis,
They play instead "Old Uncle Ned"
Or Carnival of Nenlce;"
And when i'll classic terms they speak,
Arrayed in silks and laces,
The whole technique to me is Greek
Of Weber's polUnaises.
From observation, aver
Each feminine designer,
Without demur, doth much prefer
A major to II minor.
No longer claims OF blood endure,
Nor names aristocratic,
You may be sure each ardent wOocr
Is weighed in scales cliromalic.
A lovely girl ESSAYS in vain
To harmonize this vandal,
With each refrain she doth explain,
'TwiXt Ottenbach and Handel.
Bnt wnen her soul she seems to throw
In iremulous appealings.
only know her fudle-hOw
Is playing on my feel'ng@.
Oh, would were the violin
Whose melodies enfold her,
That ] might win her dmpled chin,
Aud rest against her shoulder
And when my heart strings she'd caress,
with dainty, Jvweled fingers,
With tenderness | would confess
The love that in me fingers.

10 his family Senator Baysrd is the
model husband and the model father. His
wife and his children are his jewels. and
he cherishes them with true fathers love
and care. His family are his companions,
and when he ia not engaged in his public
duties at the Capitol you are almost sure
to find him with his family at home. The
Bayards live very unpretentiously at
Washington, liz O plain brick mansion,
large and roomT. The house is furnished
with view to the comfort of the inmates
rather than as an exhibition of the wealth
of its owner, End therein it differs from
the homes of rsost wealthy men in Wash
ington. The engravings and paintings
upon the walls are rare rather than numer-
GUS; the furniture is comfortable and
artistic rather than fashionable and snowy.

Trnrkee lUall Kennblican, OCTOBER 9I,
The party of Indian hunters that left
Truckee last week, to be gone fortnight,
TO engage in the deer drive in tine Sierra
Nevada Mountains, in the vicinity of the
Middle Fork OF the American river, were
very particular US to what they should
carry. Besides their gun, no man was
allowed to join the party who wanted
more cooking utensils than frying pan
and tin kettle. THEY say that man
who cannot fry meat aud do all kinds of
cooking on frying pan has no business
in the woods, rs the best bread ever eaten
can DO made by winding dough about q
stick and holding it over q fire.

than delinquent subscriber. He-if it is
he one, We are not clear as &c that
comes out aud sits on the side of the paste
dish, and draws in long breath. If the
paste is fresh he eats it, and wiggles bis
polonaise, as much as to thank us, and
goes away refreshed, II the paste is sour,
aud smells bad, he looks at us with mourn
full expression, and goes away looking as
though it was a mighty mean trick TO
play on a cockroach, and he runs about as
though he was offended. When package
of wedding cake is placed on the desk he
is the first to find it out, and be sits and
waits till we cut the string, when he goes
into it and walks ali over the cake till he
strikes the bridal cake when he gets on
to ii, stands on his head, aud seems to
| say yum, yum, ~ AID he il AZ tickled as
| girl with fresh beau. There is human
nature in Gockroach. When man
comes in aud sits around with no bust
