raven to two young sparrows wao stood
humbly listening to his remarks. "a

"Why?" said one of the sparrows, who
was rather inclined to be pert.
"Whyp echoed the raven. You will
know when this frost has lasted a few
weeks more, and the berries are all gone,

There's always plenty to eat in the
farm-yards," said the sparrow
That's all you know" said the raven,
with an air of superior wisdom. "those
insufferably conceited cocks and hens
won't let you touch nlorsel, and if they
should be shut in the hen-house, that
spiteful yard-dog will be on the watch to
see that you shall get nothing"
"There are often bits to be got round
the houses" persisted the sparrow.
"Poor deluded creature p sighed the
raven. "Man is your bitterest enemy,
your most cruel foe. lie sets traps, and
and keeps cats, and fires guns. What
ever you do, keep clear Of man."
Weeks passed away, the frost was
sharper than ever, the berries were gone,
and, mindful of the ravens words. the
little birds kept away from the houses
and farm-yards.
At length, one day, hunger drove
them into a garden. They stood on q
wheelbarrow and peered about to see if
there were stray flower-seed in the
cracks of the wood.
But the snow had filed every crevice,
and the starving sparrows began to des-

A Trick Played by Gen. Toombs.
Atlanta Constitution.

Perhaps the only time when Gen. Rob-
ert Toombs permitted any speaker to
have the conclusion on him was when
he had discussion with Hon. James
Gardner, editor of the Augusta Consti-
tutionalist. Before Toombs made the
agreement for Gardner to conclude he
espied an organ grinder and his monkey
near by. He bargained with him 10
commence playing as soon as he (Toombs)
got through. Gardner arose to reply and
the organ grinder began. The crowd
commenced to gather around him. The
monkey got away and ran up tree.
The Italian put down his organ and tried
to shake the monkey out. The monkey
would grab the tree and shake it too
This scene completely attracted the au.
dience and provoked the utmost hilarity
Gardner left the platform in disgust q,
being eclipsed by monkey.

To the Editor

o the Editor:
Here is balmy little thing
To I'LL your heart with Joy;
But as It is a song Of spring
send it by boy.
The vine on the cot is blowing.
The nest is built in the tree.
And the apple limbs are showing
Their blooms in the fragrant lea,
The bird to his mate is singing,
The lambkin skips on the bill,
And the rosy clovers springing
Beside the gurgling rill.
Sir Strephon his love Is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp.
And the boy in the back yards tying
The can TO the brindled purp.
Above the lake In the hollow
That mirrors cloudless sky
Is darting the airy swallow
And the purple dragon-fy.
The bumble-bee In the garden
Runs riot the livelong day,
And Maud In her Dolly Warden
Plucks flowers along the way.
Sir Strephon his love is siehing,
The cricket begins TO chirp,
And the hoy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.
