at is miserable worldw croaked .
raven to two young sparrows wto stood
hunbly listening to his remarks. "A
miserable, cold world l know, for have
lived great many years. You will be
sorry enough you ever came into it, be.
fore long"
"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
and you are starving"
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
insufferasly 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 |" 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 garden. They stood on a
wheelbarrow and peered about to see if
there were a stray fower-seed in the
cracks of the wood.
But the snow had filled every crevice,
and the starving sparrows began TO des-
pair.
Just then little boy opened window
not far off, and threw out quite q show
er of crumbs, then stood with lis arms
on the window-sill to watch the pirls
enjoying their feast.
The two sparrows forgot their bitter
est enemy" and were among the first to
artake Of the ,le1tiful meal.
"Man is not so cruel after all" said
one as they few back to the whcelbar-
row.
"And the world is not such misera-
BILE place either,' said the other. IL
shall not believe what the raven said
any more"
"Nor l." said the first. II wonder we
did not think to ask him how ravens
contrive to live when sparrows are starv-

A Trick Played by Gen. Toombs.

ert Toombs permitted any speaker to
have the conclusion on him was when
he had a discussion with Hon. James
Gardner, editor of the Augusta Consti-

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. Gardnerarose to reply and
the organ grinder began. The crowd
commenced to gather around him. The
monkey got away and ran up a 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
