goodbye to me, for she had to help Louise
get Baby on tho train.
I went home and sat down to think it all
over-to count the gains and losses. I'M
primis-I picked up one of my editions de
lure-I think it was Tennyson-from
which Baby had torn the covers. Item-A
shattered statuette of Psyche that poor
Charlie Vincent sent me SO many years ago.
tit wasn't the worth of the
thing that made me sigh,
but the memories shivered along with it.
Hen-I had lost o friend. Item-I had
lost five pounds of flesh. Item--I had
spent thirty days in monotonous baby wor-
ship.
But, on the other hand, had gained a
knowledge of infant diseases with their
remedies, of infant wardrobes. of infantile
amusements, and of maternal devotion
which might never be afforded me again.
/ was rival proficient with Vanessa in the
idioms of babyland. My balance-sheet
looked rather disorderly, but I reckoned
up that was out of pocket, as it were. a
friend and five pounds IF flesh. And while
! was doing mathematics, on which rather
pride myself, made rapid calculation of
Vanessa's present condition multiplied by
ten years of babys life, then subtracted
her duty to the world at large, and divided
the result by her husband. The quotient
was so selfshness, and the other hun
dredth assorted emotion.
I am glad Venessa is happy-that is. I
would be glad if she were happy; but she
isn't. She is nervous, and worn, and rest
less with watching over her treasure. 1t is
her pleasure to be wretched. She makes
misery of an ecstacy. She is no longer a
sentient being; she is absorbed, swallowed
up in baby. She talks baby, eats baby,
drinks baby, thinks baby, often to the ba-
bys discomfort; always to her own. still
love Vanessa- that is to say. love the ba-
by-but the satisfaction of her presence is
gone-gone into the baby. I don't mean
to say that the baby satisfies me-I'm very
much mixed.
I don't like to theorize about Vanessa,
for theories are only chaf anyhow. am
willing to confess have lost my ideal, with
out trying to prove that Vanessa is making
a mistake. I want to be reasonable in the
matter, but then I want Vanessa to be rea-
sonable, too. lam ever so fond of babies
in general, and Vanessa's baby in particu-
lar; but all the same I don't want another
nursery symposium.

is 1T WORTH WHILE.

Is it worth while that we jostle brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Isl worth while that we jeer at each other,
In blaekness of heart, that we war to the
knife?
God pity us all in our pitful strife.
God pity us all, as we iostle each other;
God pity us all for the triumphs we feel
When fellow goes down meath his lead on
the heather
Pierced to the heart; words are keener than
steel,
And mightier far for woe thai for veal.
We're it not well, in this brief little journey,
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give him fish, instead of a serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in dust at his side.
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all at peace on the plain
Man, and man only, makes war on his brother
And laughs in his heart at the peril and pain,
Slammed by the beasts that so down on the
plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow down into the dust!
God pity as all Time, too soon, will tumble
All of us together, like leaves in gust,
Humbled, indeed, down into the dust

Distinguishing the Sex In Fowls.
From tho Aparicap Fiald

rrOut Inc American FlolQ.
Many are puzzled to distinguish the sex
Of geese, ducks, and guineas. This dis
tinction in many birds is designated by
the plumage, but where both are exactly
alike there is some difficulty oftentimes in
telling the male from the female. The
male of domestic fowls is always the largest
and strongest bird, and in oolored plu-
mage has the darkest, highest, richest color.
The male has the strongest, neatest form,
and possesses the swiftest flight. With
the partridge cochins and brown leghorns,
birds similar in plumage, the cocks are
rich colored birds, with jet.black breasts,
and possess o neck, saddle, and back that
the common observer would term red,
while beside them the hens are tame and
sober of dress. Notwithstanding the uni
formitwof plumage in ducks, there are dis
tinguishing marks to be depended on. The
drake is the larger bird, and, as in geese
also the male has the longest neck and
the more upright carriage. The white gan
der is bold, and has longer. fatter head.
The goose has shorter neck, carries it
lower, is meeker, more quiet and humble
in aspect, with shorter legs, a thicker, short
er, lower body, and is entirely subservient
to her mate. There is a marked difference
about the eyes. The gander's are bright
and piercing, and can gaze at the sun with.
out finching. The difference of sex is
noticed more than any other one thing in
the movement and carriage, as we II as size
and neatness of form. The principal
difference is about the head. With turkeys
the difference in sex may be observed at
six weeks, the males beginning to shoot
the red, and put on airs in imitation of the
sire. Common chicks may be designated
at ten days, or two weeks at the furthest.

A Mouse in q Connecticut School.
From the Waterbury American.

A mouse came near breaking up school
in the Center district yesterday. Trotting
about on the floor, the children spied him,
and buzz of whispers called the teachers
attention. "Now, children, said she,
in kind and motherly way, keep very
quiet, every one of you. Don't move nor
say word if the mouse comes toward
you. He is perfectly harmless. The
scholars were very quiet and watched the
capers of the mouse breathlessly. The
teacher had scarcely finished her brave adj
dress when mousey ran directly for her and
began to walk over her feet. This was too
much, and the preaching was turned into
practice which refuse to drove-tail, as it
were. In short, the teacher screamed and
yelled with fright, and ran as if pack Of
red adders we're in mad pursuit. The
whole school hereupon became uproarious,
and the mouse was boss of the situation.
The little fellow was SO delighted that he
stood upon his hind legs and danced q
hornplpe, and then skedaddled through
the doorway, leaving the teacher and her
tickled pupils in peculiar state Of mind.

PerIIs OF the Deep.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The world renowned swimmer, Capt.
Paul Boyton, in an interview with news
paper correspondent at the seashore, relat-
ed the following incidents in his expert.
ence:

have seen large part of the world?"
- Capt. Boyton.-"Yes, sir, by the aid Of

eled over 10000 miles on the rivers of
America and Europe; have also been pre-
scented to the crowned heads of England,
France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy,

Capt. Boyton.-"That depends upon
what you may call dangerous. During my

ROup in Fowls.

The white film matter about tho head and
eyes of your fowls indicate a ell-known
disease called roup. It is often fatal to en-
tire focks, if not cured speedily. Place all
the affected fowls in warm but well ven
tilated room, and give warm, stimulating
food every morning, using plenty of red
pepper, chopped meat, and onions in cooked
meal. Use what is called Douglass mix
ture in the water given the fowls to drink.
This mixture is made as follows: Half a
pound of sulphate of iror. and one ounce
of sulphuric acid dissolved in two
gallons of water. One teaspoonful should
be added to every pint of wateS given to
the fowls. 1t is also we'll to wash the heads
of the diseased birds with warm vinegar or
with weak solution of sugar of lead.

John G. Winters Boyhood.

The Oxford Pa.) Press prints the fol-
lowing interesting letter from Mr.. John G.
Whittier, written to young girl in that

he spent his boyhood days:
AMEsBURY, MASS, 9th mo. II, 1881.
My Dear Young Friend think at the
age of which thy note inquiries, found
about equal satisfaction in our rural home,
with the shifting panorama of the seasons,
in reading the few books within my reach,
and dreaming of something wonderful and
grand somewhere in the future. Neither
change nor loss had then made me realize
the uncertainty of all earthly things. I
felt secure in my mothers love, and
dreamed Of loosing nothing and gaining
much. Looking back now, my chief salts
faction is that loved and obeyed my par
ents, and tried to make them happy by
seeking to be good. That did not sue
coed in all respects, that fell very far
short of my good intentions, was frequent
cause Of sorrow. had at that time a very
great thirst for knowledge, and little means
to crafty it. The beauty of outward ma
ture early impressed me; and the moral and
spiritual beauty of the holy lives I read of
in the Bible and other good books also af-
fected me with sense of my own falling
short and longing for better state.
With every good wish for thee, am thy
sincere friend, JOHN G.. WHITTIER.
