a native of India, how seven men
in succession were thus borne
through the air to the mainland
from small island not far from
Ceylon. They were the surviv-
ors Of the crew of a shipwrecked
vessel. and were pining away in
hopeless exile, when they took
notice of an enormous bird,
which, after grazing on the islet
all day, would fly away toward
sunset, whittier they knew not.
They agreed, therefore, that they
would run every risk rather than
continue to languish in misery.
One of them accordingly con-
cealed himself among the bushes,
and, as the light began to wane,
crawled stealthily toward the
bird, and contrived to fasten him.
self to its legs by means of friv-
olous bark. The bird few away,
and carried him aloft. The man
held on in desperation, while the
bird crossed an arm Of the sea
and alighted upon a mountain as
the sun went down. Loosening
his bonds. the man sank to the
ground, worn out with fright and
exhaustion. Where he fell, there
he lay all that night. On the
morrow he rose with the dawn,
and, looking about him, discov-
cred a shepherd. who told him in
the Indian language, the name OF
town not very distant, and gave
him milk to drink. After q SINH
lar fashion the other shipwrecked
sailors succeeded in gaining the
mainland, and we're soon reunited
in the town mentioned by the
shepherd. Thence, after a brief
repose, they made their way to a
seaport, and finally reached their
several homes. The distance
traversed by the bird, between
the island and the mountain, was
estimated to exceed two hundred
parasangs, each parasang being
equal to three miles Of the length
or ninety-six thousand inches,
each inch being equal to six
barley corns laid side by side,
while each barley-corn represent
ed the breadth of seven mule
hairs.

In some OF the Malay Islands
there is a bird known as the
"semendel," which possesses a
quality generally believed to be
the exclusive appanage of the
salamander. The plumage is
bright and varied, red, white,
green and blue being harmoni.
ously blended together. Fire
has no effect upon it, and it can
dispense for long time with any
other food than earth. While
Matching its eggs it never touches
a drop Of liquid. As soon as the
callow brood come forth they are
left to themselves for a while, but
flies and winged insects hover
close around and supply their
commissariat. As soon as their
feathers have grown and they are
able to hop about, the parent
birds become affectionate. There
are birds in India of such vast
proportions that it is no uncom-
mon thing for a quill to contain
as much water as an Indian mus
suk, made out of the entire skin
of sheep. One veracious
mariner AYERS that he had once
seen quill which would hold
twenty FIVE of such measures.
Another voyager, after floating
about for ten days on fragment
of wood, drifted on to an island
rich in fruit trees. Growing
weary of solitude, he set out to
walk until he came to human
habitations. After wandering for
some days through a well.culti-
waited district he came upon a
hut, and beside it an empty
reservoir. Entering the hut, he
fell asleep, and slept until a man
approached driving two oxen,
bearing twelve mussuks of water,
which were emptied into the
tank.
The traveller reused himself
and went out to drink of the
water. He then examined the
reservoir, the walls of which were
smooth and polished as a sword
blade. In answer to his inquiry,
the man with the oxen informed
him that it was simply a bird s
quill, and added that there we're
many birds about which had
much longer feathers.
For transport purposes these
big birds were particularly use-
full. That renowned voyager,

Wolnan's Perseverance,,
BY MARY EDWIN.

- -s@Raf@ fsD W.
Some years ago there lived in
the outskirts of a little town in
Virginia good and worthy man
by the name of Charles Barron, a
poor artist. Charles had married
early in life, and at the time Of
his wedding his wife, an accom-
plished lady, was the owner of
some property; but this, by bad
management, quickly passed out
Of his grasp, eaten up by mort
cages, and at the commencement
Of our story he, with his family,
occupied small cottage. The
members of his family consisted
of himself, wife and four child.
rem, and an old and faithful
servant.
Although Charles was poor, his
family made genteel appear
ance, and no party or social gath>
ering seemed complete without
Nora, the oldest daughter. Nora
was her fathers pet; he was
rarely seen without her, and the
child appeared TO worship him.
Nora had a remarkable sweet
voice, and l have often listened
for hours, almost entranced with
her childish melodies.
One Sunday, when she was
about eleven, as they were COM
ing from church, strange gentle
man approached and apologized
for his addressing them, asking
Mr.. Barron if that was his little
daughter, and how old she was,
etc. II heard her sing at church
to-day, and could not believe it
was a child's voice. Sir" he
continued, ''if it were not for
fear Of insulting you, 1 would
offer you SIC, 900 for the privilege,
of cultivating your daughters
voice and bringing her out"
II cannot spare my little girl, :"
was the reply, "and no change in
life could force me to allow a
child of mine to appear on the
stage"
This passed, and was not
thought of again by Charles; but
Nora did not forget the converse.
ton, but treasured up every word
and thought of it day and night
for three years. Her father was
surprised to hear her one day:
Papa, why do you object to my
singing in public? Don't we sing
in church without pay? What is
the difference if we sing for
pay?"

stand it, my child" he said, "but
your father objects, and hopes
you will never allude to the sub
ject again, as it would seriously
displease him."
When, some months after,
Nora asked permission to visit
her aunt, it was readily given.
Nora went to her aunt's and after
being there awhile she confided
to her the design she had in com-
ing, her wishes and ambitious
hopes. Her aunt encouraged
her, and said she would assist
her; Nora was sent abroad and
placed under good masters to be
instructed for the opera.
When her father had failed to
hear from her, he grew uneasy
and went to Richmond, but her
aunt told him Nora had started
for home the night before. The
poor man used every effort to find
her, but in vain. He never re-
covered from the blow, but in q
few years died from poverty and
grief. He did not live to hear of
his daughters reputation, or to
share the fame and gold she had
won, but died with blessing on
his lips for his hayward child.
Nora made her debut, and sue
ceeded; her highest hopes were
fulfilled, but she was not happy.
She married a dissipated scoun-
drel, and was compelled, in self
