Curious Pets.

There lives in Sandwich, Mass on
the borders of one of the most charming
lakes in America, Mrs. Il. II. Burgess,
who is at present attracting no little no.
toriety through the relation she sus-
tains to the inhabitants of this lake. 1t
has been her custom once or twice q
day for quite period to feed the fish
in this lake, and few days ago we
CHANGED to be favored with an invita-
tion to witness this novel feast of the
6nny tribe.
She first splashes the water with her
hand, when in a moment there may be
seen approaching from every direction
hundreds of large sinners, then cells
varying in size from one to three feet
in length, may be seen cautiously ap-
preaching. Next turtles appear on the
surface, ten, twenty and thirty feet
away, their necks stretched apparently
to see whether it is friend or foe who is
disturbing the waters. In less than
three minutes these various species had
collected directly before her, and
as she commences to feed tho
water is fairly alive with them.
They take bread directly from
her hands, aud turtles would al
low her to take them entirely out of tho
water, and while she held them in one
hand they would eat with the greatest
voracity from the other. But the eels
amused us the most. There was one
she called Quinn, measuring about three
feet in length, that repeatedly came to
the surface, and would glide back and
forth through her hands and several
times she lifted him partially out of the
water, but he was careful to keep his
head under. He seemed TO feel that
she would take no undue liberties with
him so long as his head was in its
natural element, but the moment he
saw daylight he would dart back as
only an eel could.
Another small one, about foot in
length, seemed to be particularly fond
OF her caresses and could be handled
about as she pleased, it being under
stood that she was to remain under
water though.
Taken altogether it was one Of the
most novel entertainments We have ever
witnessed, and visitors to this locality
should not fail to ask the favor granted
to the writer.
The lady is evidently much attached
to her pets, and takes pride, as well she
may, in showing hem.-Mrlboro

KEEPING COMPANY.

Ned Ned p The call rang out
from the house door, floating over the
garden, till it came faint and weary to
the barn door, utterly unable to pene-
trate the barred portal.
"Ned Ned p Nearer and nearer
came the CHEEKY voice, and a pair of
light feet corried it down the path, to
ring out again clear and strong, as a
little doubled fist pounded an accom-
pRniment on the wooden barrier.
A frank face, and head covered with
crisp curls, now decorated by long
straws stuck in with a promiscuous
carelessness suggestive of Lear's crown,
was popped out of the window of the
hay-loft.
"What is it, Katie? I'm giving the
beasts their breakfast"
"Come down You must come down
I've got the best of news for you"
"Wbat is it2 Wait I'll be down |!
Why, Katie, what are you all dressed
up forT
you'll never guess. Susy Willis
has come home. She sent me over
word this morning to be ready for
church early, so we could have a long
y.
She's coming over for me-"
"Susy homel" That was all Ned
said, but there was no doubling the ac-
cent of content in his voice.
Her father has written that he is
coming back to Allentown next month,
and Susy's mother sent for her to leave
school, and be here to meet him. Oh,
Ned, amt you glad She's been away
more'n two years"
Glad If there was any faith to be
placed in beaming eyes, smiling lips
and trembling fingers, Ned was, to say
the least, not sorry; but he said moth
ing, only hurried the preparations for
leaving the barn, his lace the while
speaking his pleasure, while, Katie, her
tongue doing the work of two, ran on
with her gleeful chatter.
Il wonder if she's altered, prettier
or smarter. 1 wonder if she'll let you
beau her now, Ned. Perhaps she'll want
to keep company with some smarter fell
low, now she's had so much schooling.
Hurry, Ned, SO you can go with us |"
And lying up the path again, Katie en-
tered the neat farmhouse, and went to
her room to add some trife to her dress.
Looking wistfully up the path for her
expected companion she tried to be
patient, but the fingers would hdget,
the feet beat tatoos, the eyes fash with
eagerness, while her fathers comments,
as he leaned over tho gate. smoking his
Sunday pipe, did not diminish the fever.
SAY, Katie, don't drum hole in the
window Are you dancing jig, Katie

My mind was rufled with small cares to-day,
And I said pettish words, and did not keep
Long suffering patience well; aud now hw
deep
My trouble for this sin In vain weep
For foolish words never can unsay.
Yet not in vain, oh, surely not in vain
This sorrow must compel me to take heed;
And surely shall learn how much I need
Thy constant strength my own to supersede,
And all my thoughts to patience to constrain.
Yes, I shall learn at last, though 1 neglect
Day after day, to seek my help from thee;
Oh, aid me, that always recollect
This gentle heartedness; and Oh correct
Whatever else of sin thou seest in me i

Memory.

POEM WRITTEN BY JAMES A. GARFIELD.
tTbe little poem given below was written, il
is stated, by James A. Garfield before his first
term in Congress hence some twenty years
ago.l
Tis boauteous night the stars look brightly
down
Upon the earth, decked in her robe of snow.
No light CLEANS at the window, save my own,
Which gives its cheer to midnight and to me,
And now, with noiseess step, sweet memory
comes
And leads me gently through her twilight
realms.
What poets tuneful Tyre has ever sung,
Or delicate pen e'er portrayed,
The enchanted, shadowy land where memory
dwels?
IL has its valleys, cheerless lone and drear,
DarE-shaded by the mouinful cypress tree
ALd yet its sunlit mountain tops are bathed
In heavens own blue. Upon its craggy cliffs,
RoDed in the dreamy light of distant years,
Are clustered joys serene Of other days.
Upon it's gontle, sloping hillsides bend
The weeping willows DER the sacred dust
or dear departed once and yet in that land
Where'er our footsteps fall upon the shore,
They that we're sleeping rise from out the dust
or deaths long silent years, and round us
stand,
As erst they lid before the prison tomb
Received their clay within it's voiceless halls.
The heavens that bend above that land are
hung
With clouds of various hues. Some dark and
chill
surchargod with sorrow, cast with somber
shade
Upon the sunny, joyous land below.
Others are floating through the dreamy air,
White as the falling snow, their margins
tinged
With gold and crimsoned hues their shadows
fall
Upon the fowery meads and sunny slopes,
Soft as the shadow of an angels wing.
When the rough battle of the day is done,
Aud evenings peace falls gently on the heart,
bornd away, across the noisy years,
Unto the utmost verge of memory's land,
Whore earth and sky in dreamy distance meet
And memory dim with dark oblivion joins,
Where woke the first remembered sounds that
fell
Cpon tho ear in childhood's early morn;
And, wandering thence along the rolling years
/ see the shadow of my former self
Gliding from childhood up to mans estate.
The path of youth winds down through many
vale,
And on the brink of many dread abyss,
From out whose darkness comes no ray OF
light,
Save that phantom dances DER the gulf
And beckons toward the verge. Again the
path
Leads DER the summit where the sunbeama
fall;
And thus in light and shade, sunshine and
gloom,
Sorrow and JOY, the life-path leads along.

TOpnOOdy.

Mr.. Topnoody went to the minstrels
last night, and the funny conundrums
and jokes he heard set him to thinking.
So at breakfast he began on Mrs. Top
moody. She was warm aud not very
much in the humor for pleasantly, but
Topnoody slashed away.
:" say, Mrs Topnoody, can you spell
hard water with three letters ?"
"No, can't; L might, though, if yod
had taken me to the minstrels last
night" This staggered him a little,
but not seriously.
"And you can't spell it? Well, ice,
amt that hard water2"
Mrs. Topnoddy never smiled, and Mr..
I. went on:
"Now spell money with four let
ters."
"I don't know how" she said.
"Ha, ha, that's too good. A woman
never can get at this sort of thing in the
same clear-headed way a man can,
Well, the way to spell it is, cash, amt
that money"
Again did Mrs. Il. fail to smile, and
Topnoody started out with another
Hold on minute" she interrupted,
looking ugly; "Pve got one; let's see
il you can get it. Spell 'Topnoody
with four letters" Topnoody scratched
his head and gave it mp.
"Ha, ha," laughed Mrs T., that's
too good. A man never can get at this
sort Of thing in the same clear-headed
way woman can. Well, the way to
spell it is, fool, amt that Topnoody?
But TopnOody never smiled, and the
breakfast was finished in silence except
an occasional chuckle from Mrs. Top
noody's end of the table. -Stenbenvll

The Chick.a.dee and the Eagle A Fable.

lie OHlch"i1Uee ana lHe EdSle - n hDles
Once upon time Chick a-dee and
an Eagle had nests in the same forest.
The forest was plenty large enough for
both, and peace and harmony might
have prevailed but for the jealousy of
the Chick-a.dee. Having been created
by nature for small bird, and having
digestive organs for only bugs and
worms, it made him wroth to behold
the Eagle having such spread of wings
and such appetite for large game.
One day, after the Chick-a-dee had
put in ten hours hard work for grubs,
be beheld the majestic Eagle pounce
down and secure in a moment fish
large enough to last him three days.
This capped the climax, and the Chick
a-dee few higher up in the tree to con-
suit the Buzzard as to what could be
done.
"I'd lie about him." was the advice
of the Buzzard, after thinking it over.
The Chick-a-dee therefore few
through the forest spreading lies and
ISLANDERS regarding the Eagle, but the
results were not satisfactory. No one
seemed to believe them, and many ad-
vised the Chick-a-dee to continue his
grubbing and let other Birds do as
pleased them best. In this emergency
the tiny Bird again applied to the Buz-
zard for advice. The unclean Bird
picked his teeth over the subject and
replied:
"You must go to the Eagle and tell
him what you think of him."
Early the next morning the Chicll-a-
dee set out on his mission. Meeting
the Eagle in mid-air he began TRADE
of abuse, but the Eagle did not seem to
hear. Enraged and exasperated, the
Chick-a-dee used still stronger Ian
guage, but the result was the same.
"Say say Pm abusing youP' he
finally called out, "Tve slandered you,
lied about you, and now / insult you,
and you dare not resent it,"
Little atom" replied the Eagle, as
he slowed up little, "if struck by an
Eagle I should strike back. When
bird of your size bothers me I cannot
even afford tins to stop and eat him."
MORAL.
A chick-a-dee can't increase his own
bulk by slandering the size of an eagle.
