A SparrOw's Funeral.

Recently gentleman was wakened
fiom an afternoon nap by loud COM
motion among the sparrows in the trees
by his windows Fifty OF more spalrows
had gathered in circle over and around
the'body of dead sparrow stretched out
on board, which had apparently fallen
dead or been accidentally killed. They
were giving voice to their grief by cries
Of distress utterly unlike their usually
gossipy chattering or quarreling Final

group, picked up the dead sparrow by
the neck with his bill, spread his wings
and flew away over the house roofs with
the burden until he disappeared from
sight. The relator of this incident is o

the story a fabrication if he had not seen

How a Musical FIend YananIshed.

There is reason to hope that Calves
tons musical fiend, Maloney De Smith,
has been squelched, if not permanently,
for season, at least. At social gath
ering the other evening, he produced his
inevitable violin, and upon it lie produc-
ed, as usual, "Way Down on the Suwanee
River" To his amazement, everybody
applauded vociferously, after listening
with rapt attention, instead of strolling
about the premises until he got through
his murderous work. Such expressions
as "That gets away with Wilhemj." "You
bet there is soul in that" thrilled him
with rapture. After the applause had
subsided one of the loudest applaudels
approached De Smith, and said,
"That piece was delightful. ] never
heard it before; but would you he kind
enough to play my favorite piece?"
Certainly; what is it ?"
"Way Down on the Suwanee River"
The instrument of torture sank from
his nerveless grasp, and after restoratives
had been applied, the fiend was taken
home in hack. The boys had put up a
job on him. GdlreSt0n NeuS

Wait till Tronble Comes.

We sit down, way-won and weary,
And think Of the days to be,
And forget there's a silver lining,
70 all the clouds vc see.
We fret over care and trouble
Before Il is begun,
And hink Of stormy weather;
We forget the warm bright sun,
1t were better to wait, my brother
TIL the trouble and care is here;
Why should we cloud the sunshine
When the day is bright and clear
BY dreadhg what may await MS?
Better to laugh and sing.
And bid the bird Of forcboiipg
From these hearts of ours take wing.
Nhat was the sunshine made for,
If not 10 make us glad?
"e ere doing wrong to waste il
In rcpining, idle and sad,
We are doing wrong 10 sIuandor
The sunshine of to-day
IN lorceoding that tomorrow
iho sky may be cold and gray,
Then pray be wise, my brother
As you climb the hill of life,
Enjoy the time to the utmost
That is free from care and strife
Thinking only of blight and failure
We SOW no soed-timc grain;
Make use of to-days glad sunshine,
And for to-morrows rain,
To-day Is ours, but tomorrow.
Perhaps, We may never sec:
Then why should we borrow trouble
For time that may not be?
Leave to the future, brother,
The trouble it may bring;
III the sunshine that God gives us
Be glad Of heart, and sing.

Plymouth Rocks.

OF all the various breeds Of chickens, in
our opinion, the Plymouth Rock heads the
list as the most suitable for the farmer.
They have the size, the beauty, the foraging
qualities, and as egg producers they have
few equals and no superiors. They make
the best of mothers, and possess an unex-
eeptional good constitution; in fact they
are the hardest and healthiest fowls we
ever knew. Last spring, in March, the
undersigned purchased two cocks (selected
the best of the two and sold the other and
four hens, which began to lay about the
middle OF the month. The last of May
two more hens were purchased which began
to lay about June lst Thirty dollars worth
of eggs have been sold up to date at the
rate of $50 per dozen and three young
cocks at 81 each-$36 worth in all. l have
now on hand about 50 chicks of this year 5
hatch. Have not lost a chick this season,
except two or three which were trampled
upon by the stock. My oldest chicks,
which were Matched out the last of May,
are now laying. My hens have been laying
almost constantly; have had one hen 10
lay out three filters Of eggs and hatch and
rear two broods of chicks. She is now
setting again. Some of my chicks were
raised by my Plymouth Rocks and the
balance by three common hens. | never
made an investment that paid me better
than this one. paid out about Sl8 for
fowls, including express charges, and before
the year is out expect to realize nearly
800 from the sale of eggs and surplus
chicks. Raising Plymouth Rock fowls beats

Atmosphere Of the Table.
From the Housekeeper.

L run tuC AlDhoChCCptI'
1t is impossible to estimate properly
the immense influence which is exerted
upon household by the atmosphere OF
the family table. If it is true that one
does not come out Of room the same
person he went in, the mind ever after
retaining the impress of what affected
it there, what great results must be
achieved from the meeting three tin es
a day in the dining-roOm, from the con-
versation INDUCED in, and the senti-
ments expressed there. A neat, we'll
ordered table is in itself lesson to the
children.
| have noticed that a sensitive child
almost invariable has better manners
when dressed in his best, and have seen
with surprise the effect produced upon
a certain small boy Of my acquaintance
by handsomely dressed ladies who are
polite to him. TO the inviting table,
where there should always be something
attractive, however simple the meal may
be, most children will come prepared to
behave properly. 1t is really worth
while, and, when philosophically con
lance to lay aside as far as posi-
bic all thoughts Of hard work done be-
fore and to be done after the meal, and
to allow no vexatious questions to be
discussed at this time The habit OF
brooding over our work, and exhausting
ourselves by going all over it in ouI
minds, is one to be studiously avoided.
There is nothing takes from ones ener-
gy more than this, and it is Il frequent
cause OF insanity.
Everybody knows that food digests
better when in agreeable company. 1t
was something more than pleasantly
which made IA friend remark that he
could not have his wife and child pass
the Summer away from him as it gave
him the dyspepsia. The poor child who
comes to grief at the table, and is sent
away from it with his dinner half eaten,
and who suffers the whole afternoon
with an undigested lump of food in his
stomach, is 10 be pitied, and it is a wise
plan TO explain to children that in this
way they will be punished for bad con-
duet at the table.
1t follows, then, that pleasant sur
prises in the way Of preparing favorite
dishes, that good taste and much pains
taking in arranging all the appointments
of the tablea dining-room, rise above
a mere ministering to the animal exist
ence, and affect the fine issues of life.
Good behavior and cheeFfulness ought
to accompany each meal as naturally
and unwayering as bread and butter.
The happy laughter which distributes
nervous force, and calls the blood from
the brain, allowing the stomach to get
its share, should be heard more fire.
quently at our tables. No one should
feel at liberty to say one word that is
not kind and thoughtful, any more than
he would withhold sufficient quantity
of food. These facts need more careful
consideration than they have usually
received.
