they know~it; so be watchful lest, when
you get we'll, you find that crop of
selfish habits has sprung up within you
TO crowd out the flowers
The tediousness of the time of conva-
lescence may be alleviated by some
simple employment of the hands. such
as cutting out pictures for scrap-book,
or sorting letters, or re-arranging some
of your small belongings. 1t is a good
time. too, for little quiet thinking,
only be sure that your thoughts are not
too much about yourself or your
own pleasures. Remember what favors
you have received from different peo-
pie, and see if you can not think OF
something pleasant TO do for them in
return. Plan your Christmas presents
for your friends, and make list OF
them, to refer to when you are better,
and able to work. 1t is difficult to lay
down rules for these things, because
tastes differ, and what would amuse one
would tire another. Some people would
like to work out puzzles. or would be
entertained by games of solitaire. Al.
most any light employment is better
than hstless idleness, or being constant
ly dependent upon others for amuse-
ment.
1t is impossible to 60 into every de-
tail, but if you wild be careful, the next
time you are sick, to see how little
trouble you can make for others, and
how appreciatiye you can be of thei1
services, these few hints will not have
| been given in vain. Susan An1lo

A Remarkable Parrot.

Not long since. lady in London
owned remarkable parrot. Any one
hearing the bird laugh could not help
laughing too, especially when in the
midst OF it she would cry out: Don't
make me laugh so, Ishall die, shallr'
and would then continue laughing more
violently than before.
Her crying and sobbing were very
curious, and if her owner said Poor
Poll! what is the NATTER" she replied:
$50 bad, so bad; got such coldn' and
after crying for some time. she would
gradually cease, and, making q noise
like drawing long breath, say: ''Bet-
ter now" and begin to laugh. If any
one happened to cough or sneeze, she
would say: What coldr'
One day, when the children were
playing with her, the maid came into
the room, and on their repeating to her
several things which the parrot had
said, Poll looked up, and said quite
plainly: mo, l did not''
She could call the cat very plainly,
saying: "Puss! pussw and then an
swer, "Mew;" but the most amusing
part was that whenever we wanted to
make her call it, and to that purpose
said: Puss! puss!' she always an
swered: "Mew," till the person began
mewing, then she would begin calling
puss as quickly as possible.
She initiated every kind of noise, and
barked so naturally that she often set
all the dogs on the parade near by bark
ing; and the CONSERVATION caused in a
party of cocks and hens by her growing
and clucking was the most ludicrous
thing possible.
She could sing quite like child, and
people more than once thought it was
human being. And it was most ludi-
crous to hear her make what we should
call false note, and then say: "Oh,
lan' and burst out laughing at herself,
| beginning again in quite another key.
She often performed kind of exer-
else which her owner described as the
lance exhibition. She would put one
claw behind her. first on one side, and
then on the other, then in front, and
round over her head, and while doing
so, kept saying: "Come on! come on!''
and when finished, said: bravo!
beautiful and then drew herself up.
Once when asked where the servants
had gene, to the establishment and al
most dismay of her owner, she replied;
Downstairs. ~ KOWtbs' Companion.

LIGHTS ALONG THE SHORE.

The wild sea thunders on the shore,
Inc wind blows chill from off the void.
The sea-guls gather on the cliffs,
And pirate and chatter of the cold;
The hoarse winds blow, the sun has set,
And Life" l said, sis like the sea-
Cruel, it casts our wrecks ashore,
In tempest and in misery.''l
A singing voice came up the cliffs,
A Child with blue eyes, grave and sweet,
And fair hair blown about her face,
sped up the path with flying feet.
The tishing-boats are in!" she cried,
We've watched for them day or more. ~
And looking down saw the nets,
And lights were glancing on the shore.
t'At yeSter eve my mother wept,
The white gulls flew far out to sea,
The great waves beat upon the sand,
The surf rolled in so heavily;
At yonder door she stands aud waits"
And singing still, she fitted past.

"There are whose ships come back at last!

Charles Seymour, commonly called
the proud Duke of Somerset, who was
one OF the chief figures in the pageants
and politics of six reigns, would never
allow his daughters to sit in his pres.
ence, even when they were nursing him
for days and weeks together, and in his
eighty-seventh year at Northumberland
House caught one OF them Involuntary
mapping at his bedside and omitted her
name in his will. In his last years his
punctiliousness was so great that when
his second wife, Lady Charlotte Finch,
once ventured to pat him playfully on
the shoulder, he turned upon her and
said, Madame, my first wife was a
Percy. and she would never have taken
such liberty"

The Llama,

| The South American llama will bear
neither beating nor i'll treatment. The
animals go in troops, an Indian walking
long distance ahead AS a guide. Ii
the llamas are tired they stop, and the
Indian stops also. If the delay be too
great, the Indian becoming uneasy to-
ward sunset, after all due precaution,
resolves on supplicating the beasts to
resume their journey. He stands
about fifty or sixty PAGES off, in an atti-
tude of humility, waving his hand
coaxingly toward them, locks at them
with tenderness, and at the same time,
in the softest tones, reiterates, SIC, ic,
ic!' Ii the llamas are disposed to re-
sumo their course, they follow the In
dian in good order and at regular
pace, but very fast, for their legs are
very long; but when they are in i'll
humor, they do not even turn to the
speaker, but remain motionless, hud-
died together, standing or lying down.
The straight neck and its gentle maies-
ty of bearing, the long down of theiI
always clean and glossy skin, their
supple and timid motion, all give them
an air at once sensible and noble. The
llama is the only creature employed
by man which he dares not strike. If
it happens-which is very seldom the
case-that an Indian wishes to obtain,
either by force or even by threats what
the llama will not willingly perform,
the instant the animal finds itself af.
fronted by word or gesture he raises
his head with dignity, and without
making any attempt to escape ill-treat-
ment by fighting. lies down. turning
his looks toward heaven. Large tears
flow freely from his beautiful eyes,
signs issue from his breast and in half
or three-quarters of an hour at most he
expires. The respect shown these ami
mails by Peruvian Indians amounts alb
solutely to superstitious reverence.
When the Indians load them, they APP
proach and caress the animal, hiding
his head that he may not see the load
on his back. 1t is the same in unload
ing. The Indians of the Cordilleras
alone have sufficient patience and gem
tleness to manage the llama.

1t expands to a narrative in which the career o
the student. the scholar, the philosopher, the
soldier, the statesman and the executive, form q
panorama OF the most instructive w0rd-pictures
known to our literature-a narrative that will
command the study and admiration OF the worlt
for evermOre.
The author of the work hereby announced is
one OF the most eminent OF living historians d
ripe scholar, a thorough investigator and charm
ing writer; His histories are known and prlzet
wherever English Is the prevailing tongue. HI
approaches this biography with more eloquent
pen than any heretofore used by him, because
the subject Is an inspiration to eloquence. t.

humanity. A nobler theme for the moderI
writer can not he found.
