They watched beside him through
the night, ministering unto his feverish
thirst and and answering his continual
petition for "a cup of tea, for Gods
saker' without thought of enmity
toward the "Britisher" in their hearts.
For three days was this their enemy,
their prisoner and their guest. AT the
close of the third day the man was
strong enough to walk about the room.
Up to this time the three had spoken
upon nothing save the necessary talk
relative to the mans illness.
He himself broke the constrained 81
lence at last: Il am strong now" he
said to Silas, one evening, ''but L am
your prisoner; what disposition shall
You make of me?"
Silas looked at his wife. She replied
quickly and with warmth:
...You are our enemy" said she, "but
you have been wounded by-who
knows? perhaps one of our own blood
with a thought of her own brothers,
who were still down in Cambridge.
..You are not bad man, l think, al
though YOU are Britisher. If l may
answer your question as 1 would like
to. | would say simply: ''Good-bye,
don't come this way again; we might
not be so hospitable another time.
And she looked anxiously over toward
Silas.
Her husband did not speak.

Silas did not look up. MY wife )
| word is law in this house." he replied,
| in low tone. Il won't answer for

You'd better do as she says now, say
goodbye and go-TigM array"
..Madam, l feel that | owe my life
and my liberty to you, God bless you!'
and the officer extended his hand to
them both.
Mrs. Sanderson accepted it, but Silas
drew back.
~ can't shake hands with British

still.n
| The man turned and walked out OF
| the door, but in differant garb, into
| the gathering gloom of the dull Spring
night, and never again did Sllas San
derson or his wife entertain a red-coat.
Ny story is substantially true.
Many years after, when Mrs. Sander
son was quite an old lady, and liked to
tell her grandchildren of the cup of tea
she made one day for Britisher, a
great box came to her from over the
seas one Christmas.
1t contained chest of tea of the very
finest brand, and on a card inside was
written, From a British officer to the
American woman who once made fol
him a cup of tea. "-AagaSta dc Bubnd.

Many of our birds fly several thou
sand miles every autumn, passing not
only over Florida, where they might
find perpetual summer, but over the
Gulf and far beyond into the great sum-
mer-land of the Amazon; after short
stay returning again to the North, some
penetrating to the extreme shores of the
Arctic seas. How the small birds fly so
great distances is almost Incompetence
sible; but / have seen many of our
small feathered friends on the little Key
of Tortugas, two hundred miles or more
from Cape Florida, the jumping-off
place of the United States. Great flocks
of them would alight upon the walls of
the fort, especially during storms, evil
IDENTIFY thoroughly tired; but the next
day they were up and away off over
the great stretch of the Gulf and the
caribbean Sea.
Numbers of the English birds and
many from Northern Europe make
yearly voyages down into the African
continent; and careful observers state
that they have seen the great storks, so
common in Germany, moving along
high in the air, bearing on their broad
backs numbers of small birds that had
taken free passage, or were, perhaps,
stealing a ride. In these wonderful
migrations many birds are blown out
to sea and lost, while others become so
fatigued and worn out that they will
alight upon boats. A New England
fisherman, who, in the autumn follows
his calling fourteen or fifteen miles out
from shore, informed me that nearly
every day he had four or five small
birds as companions. They had wan
dered off from shore, or were flying
across the great bay on the lower coast
of Maine. and had dropped down to
rest. One day the same fisherman fell
asleep while holding his line; and upon
suddenly opening his eyes there sat a
little bird on his hand, demurely cock
ing its head this way and that, as il
wondering whether he was an old
wreck or piece of driftwood. Chris

Not a word did the teacher say, none

teacher understood. From that hour
his influence was felt stronger, mora

single pupil ever knew the contents of
that little note that rested so quietly for
weeks in the teachers pocket.
That act of Horace Denver will never
pass from the teachers memory. The
pupils of that school will never forget
that not one noon hour did he visit

Prof. Young on Sun-Spots.

The periodicity of the sun-spots sug-
gests number of important and inter-
esting problems; relating. on the one
hand, to its mysterious cause. and. on
the other, to the possible effects of this
periodicity upon the earth and its in
habitants. / am no ''sun spottist" my
self, and am very doubtful whether the
terrestrial influence of sun-spots
amounts to anything worth speaking
of, except in the direction of magnet
ism. But all must concede, think,
that this is by no means yet demon
strated Git is not easy to prove a mega
tive); and there certainly are facts and
presumptions enough tending the 9TH
er way to warrant more extended in
vestigation of the subject. The inves-
tigation is embarrassed by the circum-
stance. pointed out by DR.. Gould, that
the effects of sun-spot periodicity, if
they exist at all Gas he maintains they
dog, are likely to be quite different in
different portions of the earth. The in
fiuence of changes in the amount of
solar radiation will, he says, be first
and chiefly felt in alterations and de-
Elections of the prevailing winds, thus
varying the distribution of heat and
rain upon the surface of the earth,
without necessarily much changing its
absolute amount. In some regions it
may, therefore, be warmer and drier
during a sun-spot maximum, while in
adjoining countries it is the reverse
