A Witch.
[Fraziers Magazine. ]

A witch WAS all that was ab0mi

est lOathiuG; yet few had the wis
dom or courage to contradict the
possibility of her exercising the arts
she pretended to. The judge, as
he passed sentence upon the con.
denDed woman, trelnbied lest her
fell gaze shonId bring upon him and
his household sorrow or death. The
yielding crowd, ss it half stripped
her to undergo the water ordeal,
shuddered as it saw upon her ex,
posed bosom the marx, which, it
WAS supposed, proved that she al.
lowed her "tamiliar' to draw upon
her life's blood. The villagers who
went miles out Of their way to avoid
her haunts, never 70. one moment
believed that the object of their
fear was powertess to work them

To sil the old croue, with her tall
hat, crutch stick. and black cat
Nesting on her shoulder, was one
who had dealings with the devil,
and who, through the might Of Sa,

misery broadcast wherever she
listed. She had sold herself, body
aud soul, to hell, and until death

A New Way to Raise Setter Dogs

The Bird that has no Nest.

The cuckoo and her mate have no
home OF their own; but that does
not seem to trouble them. They
peep here and there among the
leaves, until they find the nest of
some other bird--a lark, perhaps,
or thrush, or a yellow hammer,
and. il the owner Of the nest is away,
Mrs. Cuckoo leaves within it a small
egg.
There are some birds that can
take care of themselves almost as
soon az they are born; but Mrs.
Cuckoo never leaves her eggs in
their nests. Oh, no! she chooses a
nest iu which the young birds are
we'll cared for by their mothers, and
fed with food OH which the young
cuckoOs thrive best.
Why she is too idle TO builtl her
own nest, no one knows. Some poo
pie say it is because SHE stays so
short a time in the same country
that her young ones would not get
strong enough to fly away with her,

Others think it is because she is
such a great eater that she cannot
spend time to tiud food for her chill.
dren.
But the kind foster. mothers. the
larks and the thrushcs, care for the
egg that the cuckoo leaves in their
houses, although, if any other bird
leaves one, they will take no care of
it at all, but roll il out upon the
ground.
The Scotch word for cuck 90, gowk,
means, also, a foolish person. But
think they ought rather to have
named it a wicked person; for the
yonng cuckoo ia 40 ungrateful and
selfish that he often gets one of the
other little birds on his back, and
then climbing to the top Of the nest.
throws it over the edge. These are
