TWO Visions.

Where close the curving mountains drow
To clasp the stream in their embrace,
With every outline, curve aud hue
Reflected in its placid face,
The plowman stopped his team 10 watch
Tho train, as swift II Numbered by;
some distant glimpse of life to catch,
He strains his eager, wistful eye.
The morning freshness lies on him,
Just wakened from his balmy dreams;
The travellers, begrimed and dim.
Think lonGingly of mountain streams.
oh. for the joyous mountain air,
The fresh, delightful autumn day
Among the hillsI Tho plowman there
Must have perpetual holiday
And he, as all daynong he guides
His steady plow, with patient hand,
Thinks of the flying train that glides
Into some new, enchanted land.
Whore, day by day, no plodding round
wearies the frame and dulls the mind
Where life thrills keen to sight and sound,
With plows and burrows left behind.
Even 80, to each, the untrod ways
OF life are touched by fancy's glow,
That ever sheds its brightest rays
Upon the path We do not knowl

WhistlIng Birds.

class belong those that whistle several
tunes, or one tune very we'll, and in the
second class are birds tkAt can whistle
only fraction of tune. Out of fifty
birds, about forty are proficient. and
abut two-thirds of these can whistle
two melodies. These birds abound in
Hcsse and Sarony. whore they are
taught by tailors, shoemakers and
wcavers, whose occupation keep them
indoors. The teaching begins from the
time they are strong enough to be taken
from the nest. The tune they are to
learn Is whistled to them several times
a day, particularly in the morning and
evening-whistling Is preferred. as in
struments are too shriIl. The birds
should always hear the tune in the
same key, and no other tune should be
played or vhistled In their hearing as
long - they are learning. The time in
which they master melody varies from
four to six months. They will almost
ct all times pipe their tune at the com.

is important that they should always be

they move their heads, and sometimes

The BOY..The Circus.

Appropriate to the time is the fol-
lowing wait, which is now going the
rounds:
The small boy looketh upon the
circus poster when it is red, white
and blue, and becometh intoxicated
with delight.
For what is it that carrieth more
JOY to the heart of the small boy than
Il dead wall covered with circus pos
ters?
Echo might answer, a deadhead
ticket covered with the legend 'Ad-
nit One.'
And as the boy gazeth on the
pictures of indescrible animals, and
upon the impossible antics of lightly
clothed men and women, his imagi.
nation maketh all the pictures real
tiles and he is willing to stake his
reputation as a champion marble
player that the coming circus is the
best in the world.
And he longeth to go.
So he is joined by other boys of his
age, and they all gaze upon the pos
tiers and drink in the beauties thereof.
And the marvel among themselves.
And one boy sayeth he has never
seen so wonderful display of circus
pictures. And they soon fall to specu-
lating among themselves as to
whether each performer really doeth
all the things which he is represented
as doing.
And another one sayeth he has seen
as wonderful performances as are
pictured out on the posters.
But his companions laugh him to
scorn.
So it cometh to pass that the boy
who hath seen all these things is
forced to hold his peace provided he
has not devoured it), for verify the
majority ruleth among the boys.
Soon the all important question
cometh up regarding the prospects for
crawling under the canvass, and they
wax enthusiastic, and in their minds
they are all in the circus on the front
seat, each one having found good
place to crawl under.
But soon enc of their number
rece llecteth the fact that he was once
caught in the act. and as he dilates on
the canvas men in general. and the
one who collared him in particular,
the courage of the troop oozes out of
their individual ends.
But the company adOpteth pre-
amble and resolutions to the effect

voice in public, and makes men
aghast with the recital of his woes
and degradation.

Two girl babies were born at nearly
the same time, in the same house, at
Oakland, Tenn. The mothers were
sisters, closely resembling each other,
and during the excitement of the
occasion the little ones got mixed up
before they were dressed, or in any
way marked for Identification. There
is puzzling uncertainty, for three
months have elapsed without devel-
oplng any resemblance to the father
in either case; and if the children
grow up, as they seem likely ts, with
the physical characteristics of their
mothers, nobody will ever know
their exact parentage. The present
agreement is to decide the question
by lot.

Dead-Heading on the Press.

The popular idea that newspaper
people are dead heads, is very pop
ular error. There is no interest on
earth that is expected 20, and actually
does, give so much to society without
pay, as the press. Instead of being
dead-heads. newspapers are the vic
Tins of dead-heads. Not day pas
ses but they are imposed upon by the
public. Every publisher in this or
any other town, will bear us out in
what we say. AS matter of fact,
the editor endures more genuine
dead-heading than any other man in
the world. The pulpit, the bar. the
drama, religious and charitable socie-
ties. finantial and industrial corpora
tions. everybody who is anything,
or expects to be anything, is a leech
upon the liberality of the press. A
fellow gives to the editor a pass to
a twenty-five cent show, and then ex-
poets ten dollars worth of advertis-
ing. A weak enterprise is sought to
re established. and the press is called
upon to give it strength and encour-
agement. A preacher wants free puff
fling, and civilian asks the press to
make him. popular. An actor be-
comes the editors mortal enemy, if
the man of Fabers does not bestow
upon him dollars and dollars in free
advertising. The dull author expects
the press to say he is live and enter.
tanning the quack considers it the
newspapers duty to tell the world
that he is honorable and skilled. The
editor is the one to whom fools look
TO give them talents, thieves to give
them honor, knaves to give them re-
spectability. the guilty to give the
cloaks of innocence, frauds to hide
there rogery, and swindlers to cover
up their cheating; the vain expect
to be extolled by the press, as a thing
to be imposed upon at will +; a thing
from which every one is in duty
bound to get all he can and return as
little as possible. A small-souled
man will give the press five-dollar
advertisement and then considers
himself cheated if the editor does not
write him twenty-five dollars worth
of editorial notices. 1t is about time
this sort of thing was stopped. and
for people to understand that the
press is not dead-head, but the chief
victim of dead beats. A newspaper
gets nothing that purports to come
gratuitiously, that it does not pay
for four-fold. and it gives much in
true charity that people enormously
think they pay for.

Charged with Incendiarism.

Our readers will remember the
burning of Mr.. Broadwater's tarn,
which occurred IN May last, and that
it was supposed to be the work of an
incendiary. A man named Thomas
jones was arrested at Cumberland, a
short time after the occurrence,
charged with having set fire to the
barn. On being taken before Justice
King, of Cumberland, he waived
hearing and was committed for the
action of the Garrett county Court.
The arrest was for certain reasons
kept quiet and did not reach the
Sheriff of this county until few
days since. Tuesday Sheriff White
brought the accused to Oakland and
lodged him in Jail. Since his con-
finement here he stated that he was
never at Grantsville. and acknowl.
edge to having set fire to the barn at
the instance of parties who told him
to do so, and that when they pro.
cured the reward of 1000, offered
for the arrest of the guilty parties,
they would get him out of Jail and
divide with him. He is evidently
of weak mil d, and his statements
cannot be depended upon, He claims
to hail from Lehigh, Pa.
