The Wren's Nest.

The wrens, like various other small birds,
cannot bear that their nests or eggs should
be touched they are always disturbed and
distressed by it, and sometimes will even de-
sert their nest and eggs in consequence. On
one occasion, tn Arefore, good, kind-hearted
friend of every bird that builds, carefully
put his finger into a wren's nest, during the
mothers absence, to ascertain whether the
young were Matched. On her return, per-
ceiving that the entrance had been touched,
she set up doleful lamentation, carefully
rounded it again with her breast and wings,
so as to bring everything into proper order,
after which she and her mate attended to
their young. These particular young ones,
only six in number, were fed by their par
ents two hundred and seventy-eight times in
the course Of day. This was small wren
family and ii there had been twelve, or
sven sixteen, as is often the case, what an
amount of labor and care the birds must
have had But they would have been equal
to it, and merry all the time.
For all these little creatures,
Which so lightly we regard,
They love To do their duty,
And they never think it hard"

Not II IL was my Boy,

Some years ago the late Hora ,e Mann, the
eminent educator delivered an address at
the opening of some reformatory institution
Tor boys, during which he rema 'ked that il
only one boy was saved from ruin, it pays
Tor all the cost and care and labor of estab-
fishing such an institution as that. After
the exercises had closed, in private CONVEX.
sation, gentleman rallied Mr.. Mann upon
his statement, and said to him, "Did you
not color that little when you said that all
expense and labor would be repaid if it only
saved one boy 2" "Not if it was my boy,''
was the solemn and convicting reply. All
there is wonderful value about " my bow
Other boys may be rude and rough; other
boys may be reckless and wild other boys
may seem to require more pains and labor
than they will ever repay; other boys may
be left to drift uncared for to the ruin which
is so near at hand but "my boy it were
worth the toll of lifetime and the lavish
wealth of world to save him from ruin
We would go the world round to SAFE him
from peril, and would bless every hand that
was stretched out to give him help or well
come. Aud yet every poor wandering, out
cast, homeless man is one whom some fond
mother called "my boy" Every lost wo
man, sunken in the depths of sin, was some
body's daughter in her days of childish inn o
cence. To-day somebody's son is hungry
outcast, somebody's daughter is weary
helpless wanderer, driven by cruel want int,
paths of error. Shall we shrink from labor
shall we hesitate at any cost to d, what we
can to bring back the sunshine of happiness
to such as these ?-Co,age Hearth.

Postage Stamps.

Many processes are required before pos
tage stamp is ready for use. First, par
ticular kind of paper must be selected, upon
which the design is printed from engraved
plates. Two hundred stamps are printed
on one sheet at each motion of the press.
The colors used in the inks are ultra-marine
blue, Prussian blue, vermilion, green and
carmine. Next, the sheets are placed upon
II fat wooden support, its edges being pro.
,ected by metallic frame, aud the gum APP
piled with wide brush. When dry, the
sheets are cut in two and put in the peIfor-
iting machine which makes the holes run
ling lengthwise first, aud afterwards the
transverse ones. This machine was invented
by Mr. Arthur in 1872, aud cost the gov
eminent 100000.

In the soft CLEAN OF an autumnal day,
when summer gathers up her robes Of glory,
And. like q dream Of beauty, glldes away.
How through each loved familiar path she fingers.
serenely smiling through the golden mist
limiting the wild grape with her dewy fingers,
Till the cool emerald turn to Amethyst
Kinding the faint stars of the hazel, shining,
To light the gloom Of autumn's Wondering hans'
with hoary plumes the clematis entwinng,
Where DER the rock her withered garland falls.
Warm lights are on the sleepy upands waning
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon rolled,
TIL the slant sunbcams through their frnges raining
Battle all the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist winds breathe Of csped leaves and flowers,
In the damn hollows Of the woodland sown'
Minglng the freshness OF autumna showers
with spicy airs from cedar alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the ambered meadow,
Where yellow fcrn-tufis 1eck the faded ground,
with folded lids beneath their palmy shadow,
The gentian mods, in dewy slumbers bound.
Upon these soft-tInged lids the bee sits broodng,
Like a fond lover 10th to say farewell;
Or, with shut wings through sllken folds ntruding,
Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale TO tell.
The little birds upon the hillside lonely,
Fit noselessly along from spray to spay,
silent as q sweet, wandering thought. that only
Shows It's bright wings and softly glides away.
The scentess flowers in the warm sunlight dreaming,
Forget TO breathe their fulness of delight,
And through the tanced woods soft airs streaming
still as the dew-fail of a summer night.
So, in my heart, a sweet unwonted feeling
stirs. like the wind in oceans hollow shell,
Through all Its secret chambers softly stealing,
Yet finds no words its mystic charm to tell.
