strongly her face. which was sci in a pzincd expression, relaxed; her blue eyes opened quite naturally. and there played over her face that same beautiful smile. so innocent and child like. that he kneH SO well.
 She looked straight into his eyes and seemed 10 recognize him, but there was 10 sentiment of love in her glance-only the old ingenious expression, 9 fall of , the bliss and joy of youth. with which she had greeted him so many times in the days that should return no more.
 Suddenly he felt her heart beats grow weaker: her head dropped back over his arm, and in a moment she was dead.
 He made no effort to instil life into her form; ne kne~ as we'll as though he had i been standing by her grave that she had been taken from hiai. and he ba, now began 10 realize what she had been to him.
 1 In the ease and carelessness of his lux uriour life he had never contemplated anything lik this, and it hardly seemed ! possible that she whom he SO loved had ] passed away from him forever. Drifting along from day to day a, he had done. con,ented to be near her. he had never truly known the depth of hls affection but now 1t came to him with overwhelming force.
 He knew that he loved her with wealth of love that he should never feel asaIn. The ease and joy of her charac- ter, the absence of affectation and the seeming want of heart had only endeared l her to h,m, wearled as he was by the con stant Awning of society. ! That he should never see that smile again or feel the grasp of her warm hand ! he knew would make his life dark
 My Cod he said, how loved herr and he bent down and pressed up- on that brow, on which the dews of death were falling, one long, sweet kiss-his ! first and his last.
 To the man of character whom fortune has always blessed. and who has never been compelled 10 exert himself, the first great shock of lifeis apt to bring change. If the character has become oyergrown with parasiticll vines, then such shock only hastens his ruin; but where il still rises superior, then the first great sorrow IS also blessing. and the life once so careless. rses earnest and serious and ennDbied.
 IL was many months ere Roland was asain seen among his fellows. and when he did appear hc was d changed man. He shook of the society of his fast ! friends, became m earnest student and was admitted to the bar. where he achieved reputation and character vouch .afcd to few.
 lie did no, avoid woman society. but he never indulsed in more than passing i pleAslnt.ies aud never married. He danced d, the wedding of lack and Nora. and seemed 10 find pleasure in their union.
 His bachelor apartments are the most cosy in town and his few intimate friends know no better joy than to go and sit and smoke with h,m in his study and listen to his anecdotes and wit.
 Sitting by the light of huge log fire -one of.his favorite pastimes-one bleak winter evening. while the hail dashed against the window panes and fell hissing i Tn the fire, he told me the story of his life as have set i, down here.-.Noyrfs- houn Herald

Chronic Lassi.uda.

There are certain characteristics con.
nected with lazy man which are adj
mirable. They excite in the twanging,
juggling breasts OF the nervously fidgety
feeling which borders on respect and
is akin to awe. Your double-gearcd
fidgety man will spin all day like top
and run down in the cool of the evening
on the identical spot on which he start
ed off after breakfast. The man suffer-
ing from chronic lassitude will keep
still, keep cool, keep in the shade, put
in full days work resting himself, and
arrive on time at shutdown, cool, calm
and collected, without having once
sweat under the collar or laid a hair.
The professional lazy man seems to
eat, drink and sleep with as much gusto
and sang .troid as his fidgety brother
with the high pressure anatomy and
patent double-cylinder, fast, perfecting,
hygenic apparatus who gets hot in the
box and wears and grinds and cuts his
life away like piece of mistit machin-
cry. The fact of the whole business is,
the man of hustle and confusion wears
his life away for the want Of the oil of
rest. The professional lazy man just
soaks along through this vale of tears
like handful of cotton waste in the oil
cup Of q box-car axle.
We have not the least doubt in the
world but that we could be profession
al man and not half try. II we had to
try very hard it would break the spell.
The charm would have flown, and
things would be sadly mixed. The mot
to of the man afflicted with chronic las
situde is, "Give us rest-or give us
DEATH The professional lazy man
gets to the graveyard on schedule time
the same rs the nervously fidgcty gen.
tleman who worries along the pathway
of life like Texas mule fighting sand
flies. And the moral of all this is to the
effect that it is far better to be born la
zy than crooked, deformed, and as Rich
ard the iii. says, "Sent into this breath
ing world scarce half made up" And
we have made up our mind that, to
slightly paraphrase Blackburn. of Ken
lucky, he who worries is worsted, and
he who frets is fried.-1erds SDtings.

ANIMALS, anu arc eagerly sought by
them. Snakes, for instance. live al
most entirely upon them. during the
month OF June; squirrels eat them, rae
coons also. and opOssums, eats, rats,
and mice. But none of these animals
could creep out to tie plant. wavy ends

and cling there long enough to get at
the contents of Baltimore orioles

"In the country where the baya
sparrow lives. there are snakes and
opossums. and all :he rest of the egg
eaters; and in addition there are troops
of monkeys. whic are more 10 be fear
ed than all the rest together Monkeys
are wonderfully expert climbers, from
whom the eggs, in An ordinary open
top pouch nest, like tie orioles, would
not be secure; for if they can get any-
where near, they will reach their long,
slender fingers down inside the nest.
The baya sparrow discovered this, and
learned to build nest inclosed on all
sides, and to enter it from underneath
by neck too long for n monkey to con-
veniently reach up through. Beside
this, she took the precaution To hang it
on the very tips Of light branches, upon
which she thought no robber would dare
trust himself But she found that mon
keys knew trick worth two o that.
They would 90 to II higher limb which

down from it, grasping il ,irm!y with
his hands; then another monkey would
crawl down and mold on to the heels of
the first one, another would go below
him, and so on until several were hang
ing to each other. and the lowest one
could reach the sparrOw's treasures.
He would eat them all himself, and then
one by one they would climb up over
each otheI; and last of all the tired first
one, who had been holding up the
weight of all the rest. would get up.

OF fresh plumber, which, | suppose,

to avoid even this dangerous trickery.
She knew that there was nothing mon

coat wet. He would rather 90 hungry
So she hung her nest over the water
close to the su face, and the agile thieves
do not dare make chain long enough
to enable the last one to reach up into

bend so far rs To souse them into the

How G Bril- Ou.witted th9 Monk "a.

''Of all the hanging nests. commend
me to that made of grass by the baya
sparrow of India. II is one of the most
perfect bird houses known of, and seems
only to need a Fireplace to make it n
real house. II is entered through tho
long neck at the lower end. The bed
for the eggs rests in the bulb, or expan-
sion at the middle of the nest, where
there are actually two rooms, for the
male has perch divided off from the
female by little partition, where he
may sit and sing to her in rainy wealth
er, or when the sun shines very hot, and
where he may rest at night. The walls
are firm lattice work OF grass. neatly
woven together, which permits the air
to pass through, but does not allow the
birds to be seen. The whole nest is
from fourteen to eighteen inches long,
and six inches wide at the thickest part.
1t is hung low over the water-why, we
shall presently see-and its only en-
trance is through the hanging neck.
why do birds build hanging nests?"
"Those birds that do make hanging
nests, undoubtedly do it because they
think them the safest. Birds eggs are
delicacies on the bill Of fare of several
