to the ladies the mistake his uncle had
made.
"And sm sure Miss Lovett will not
blame mo I insist that 1 shall marry
you, little Bessie; and the sooner the bet
ter, before Uncle Philo discovers his mis-
take"
And thai very afternoon there was a
quiet wedding in the Rev. DR.. Rothsay $
parlor, viii lie Mr.. Templeton was taking
his snooze in his chair, with his handker.
chief over his face, dreaming of the days
when the beautiful Miss Lovett would
reign right royalty in his nephew s
home.
At eight o'clock that night he was
electrified by the receipt of q note from
Fred:
81 have been and gone and done it,
Uncle Phi b." it said. Il promised you
1 would nj rry the lady you selected for
me, and 1 will present her to you in an
hour. The e's nothing like striking when
the irons lot, is there?"
And pun tually on time Fred appear
ed, his bride on his arm-lovely as the
morning, FLUSHING like rose, her blue
eyes shining like stars, her sweet red
mouth qmvering as she looked wistfully
up in Mr., Templeton's face. when Fred
presented her.
We've quite stolen march upon
you; but this is my wife, Uncle Theo
philus-Nrs. Fred Warrington, fast and
sure"
"I'm astonished, and dumfounded,
and delighted, my dear. How ever did
you do it Fred?"
And before Fred made the explanation
he deem BID incumbent just then and
there, servant announced a lady, who
came SWEEPING in, in royal garments Of
deep purple velvet-a girl with starry
eyes and hair as golden as sunshine.
"Miss Beatrice Lovett!''
And then-well, the scene is indie
scribablf, but with two lovely women Ee-
seechind him to forgive, and the pansy-
purple dyes making him feel the queerest
around bis heart he ever had felt, some
how-hS never knew how-he simmered
quietly down, and he accepted the situa-
ton with the best grace at his command,
until-ax months afterward, when he
triumpiantly announced to his nephew
that the luckiest day of his life had been
when he mistook Rossie for Miss Lovett
''For since you wouldn't have her for
your wife, you shall have her for your
aunt, ahd help yourself if you can!
But, hs no one was at all anxious to
help it. Mr.. Templeton married his beau
tiful Young wife, and it is question
who of the quartet is the happiest.

Bird Intelligence.

One of the most surprising examples
of intelligence occurred in this city last
evening. A lady was in the back part of
her lot feeding little chickens from q
dish filled with cornmeal and dough,
when brown thrush Lit OH the edge Of
the dish, pecked the lady's hand, and
flying into the air, lowered over her.
The lady resumed her feeding again,
when the thrush settled and pecked her
hand. Several times the bird did the
same thing, each time flying oil short
distance towards hedge fence and then
returning. Finally the lady was thor
oughly interested in the birds move.
ments, and arose. As she did SO the
bird whirled over her several times and
flew straight for the hedge. As the lady
contin ned to stand the bird came back
again, and flew to the hedge some rods
away. This time the lady fol.
lowed. but every time she stopped
the bird would come back, wheel
around, and then fly to a certain spot in
the hedge and hover around it. At last
the lady went to the hedge, and APP
proaching the spot above which the bird
was circling, she was surprised to bear Q
faint plaintive chirrup, and examining
the spot found q young thrush caught
between two branches in such manner
that il was fast being killed. She re-
leased the bird, and holding it in her
hand opened it to let II fly, but it was
too much exhausted. She then took il
and set it on post. when the old bird
1t once came aHd lit by its side, caress-
ing it in en- overjoyed manner. As the
lady walked 10 the house the old bird
dew toward, lowering over her. and was
apparently whitening its gratitude. The
lady watched the birds from the window

A Peculiar People.

The people of this region are of an
amphiDious nature, and live SO much ON

on fish, clans, oysters, crabs, terrapins
and wild fowl. When they leave home
they go in boat, and whether they 60 to
court or go counting, or to trade, or to
mill, or to funeral, they always go by
sail. Their corn mills are run by sails,
and some of them pump their water with
windmills. They don't go up stairs, but
''go aloft;" and when they go to bed they
turn in" when they are i'll they ''are

health they are chung up and bilge

hen 1T as "clipper built" If she is lit
tie stout they say she is "broad in the
BEAM or she is wide across the tran

doors in their houses that slide on
grooves, and to their buildings they give
a coating of tar instead OF painting them.
The "old woman" blows conch shell
when dinner is ready, and they measure
time by "bells." Their babes are not

Mr.. Theophilus Templeton leaned

brought his finger tips together, ana

Two brown eyes with tossing cuils,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet, white, and wet with dew,
Two eyes black, and two eyes blue,
Little girl and boy were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They We're standing where a brook,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Flashing its silver, and thick ranks
OF willow fringed its messy banks

Katie answered with laugh,
"You shall carry only half -
And then tossing back her curls.
"Boys are weak as well as girls
DO you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed?
Men are only boys grown tall
Hearts don't change much after all
And when. long years from that day,

Stood again beside the brook,
Bending like shepherds crook
Is it strange that Willie said
While again a dash OF red
Crossed the BROWNIES of his check.

Life is but slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep.

Walk beside me without fear?
May carry, if will,
All your burdens up the hill."
And she answered with laugh
"No. but you may carry half.'
Close beside the little brook,
Bending like shepherds crook.

Late aud early at the sands,
Is ia cottage where to-day
