Miles StsBdrsh Revived.

One of our fellows, whom We
playfully dubbed Shad, confided to
US one day that he had discovered
that he could not exist without the
landlords daughter, and that be
would make her his bride before the
end of the summer. We viewed the
prospect with great favor. What

wealth. replied Shad, meekly; ~but
don't you think this place Is large
enough for both of Us? And when
any Of this worshipful company
wander hither there will always be
big slate and a long reckoning"
We promised him our influence
with the father, and as there was no
time 10 be lost undertook to break
the news gently to the girl that Shad
intended to marry her. She was
sheliing peas at the time and looked
charming IN her neat calico gown.

Here l paused for breath. Annette's
eyes were fixed on the peas, and
over her cheeks stole the daintiest
ripple of a blush

by Birds Sing.

Birds in freedom begin to sing long
before pairing, and continue it, sub
leet to Interruptions. long afterward
though all passion has been extin-
guished and domesticated birds
sing through the whole year with
out regard to breeding time, though
no female or companion be in sight.
Such birds, born in captivity, never
feel the loss of freedom, and if they
are well taken care of are always
hearty and in good spirits. The
bird sings 70 large extent for bis
own pleasure, for be frequently lets
himself out Justify when he knows
he Is ali alone. In the spring-time
of love, when all life is invigCrated
and the effort to win a mate by ar
dent wooing Is crowned with the
Joy of triumph. the song reaches its
highest perfection. But the male
bird also sings TO entertain his mate
during the arduous nest building
and Matching to cheer the young,
and If he De a domesticated bird to
give pleasure to his lord and the
providence that takes care Of him
and in doing so to please himself.
Lastly, the bird sings-by habit, as
We call it-because the tendency is
innate in the organs of song 10 ex-
ercise themselves.

A Lizard Burglar.

The person to whom this incident
occurred was travelling IN the east,
and, coming 10 small town. made
up his mind to stop and rest for sew
eral DAYS, and, to have some seclu-
sion, chartered a small house. The
buildings were all of stone, the first,
or living room being about fifteen
feet from the floor, AID entered by
ladder that the householder could
haul In after him. The traveller took
this precaution every night, as he
had some valuables with him, and
one night be was awakened by hear
ing curious scratching on the walls
outside At first he pald no atten-
ton to it, but finally it got worse
and worse, and at last be stepped to
the window and looked out, ard
made out Lelow several dark forms
crouching near the building. He
waited a few moments, and sudden
liz the curious scratching recon-
menced, and a human figure all at
once began to move up the wall IN
a decidedly mysterious manner. On
it came, the scratching becomisg
louder and louder, until finally, nav
ing no boubt that a burglarIty was
being attempted, be seized a gun
that was loaded with fine bird-sn0t,
and fired al the object. A heavy
fall, and a succession of yells and
screams followed the report, and
quickly lowering his ladder, be ran
down to see what kind of game he
had bagged. When he had got to
the spot a halt-d0zen natives were
there, attracted by the noises, but
the robbers had escaped. Right uu-
der the window, however, was an
enormous lizard, squirmIDg about IN
It's last agonles, and then he learned
bow rubberies were committed IN
that country. The rascals had no
way of reaching the window. so
they carried about With them one OF
the big lizards with Its head in
mask, and when they wished to
climb a perpendicular wall they
merely placed the creature against
the stone, where it instinctiveiy

hauled on its tail, aud by clinging to

least zip to it The lizard would
then be thrown down, and after ran.

OVER THE SEA.

] am looking back through the days and
weeks
That lie in the shadowy land fyore,
And walking spirit stjrs aud speaks
The spirit of dead years gone before.
Speaks with murmur of mournful sighs,
In voice that carries the sound Of tears.
And, lighting the lamp of its passionate eyes
II opens the shroud of the buried years
The wind is blowing up from the world,
The stars are shining down on the sea,
But the wind Is bleak and the light is cold,
And It's only of pain they speak to me.
For the wind once toyed with siiken tress-
And the stars once shone on q sanity
face;
And how can faithful love grow less?
Ora new love lake the old loves place?
The sea is swirling up to my feet,
Singing iis monody, soft and low;
But the song of the sea is deadly sweet,
For | mind how il slew me years ago.
We have been parted. and she,
With many hundred miles between.
And now she was coming across the sea
toh, the sky was blue and the waves we're
green ,
Coming-and yet she never camel
Meeting-and yet We met no more,
She heard me not when called her name,
Though the dead might have heard me on
that shore.
Oh. love, though my eyes but dimly see,
There is hope in my pathway where l
tread,
That over the sea thou wilt sail to me,
In the day when the sea gives up her dead.

General Monrgomery's Death.

1t was at four o'clock in the
morning OF December 81, l775, dur
ing a violent snow-storm. The lit
tie American army had undergone
inexpressible hardships during the
campaign, and the soldiers were
half starved and half naked. 1t
took all the magnetic power of
Montgomery to stir them into re-
newed action. Men of New York, "
ne exclaimed, you viii not fear to
follow where your General leads;
march OIL" Then placing himself
in front, he almost Immediately re-
ceived the mortal wound which
suddenly closed his career.
Thus fell Richard Montgomery,
at the early age of thirty seven.
Three weeks before his death he
was promoted to the rank of Major
General. Young, gifted, and brave.
be was mourned throughout the
colntry, at whose altar he had offer
ed up his life-appareDtly in vain;
for his fate decided the battle IN ia
vor of the British.
The story that be was borne from
the field of battle by Aaron Burr,
under the continued fire of the en-
emy, has always been received with
doubt. 1t may now, upon the high
est authority, be pronounced to be
without foundation.
Ii was rumored, but not ascertain
ed by the British for some hours,
that the American General had been
killed. Anxious to ascertain, Gen.
Carleton sent an aide-de-camp to
the seminary, where the American
prisoners were, to inquire If any OF
them would identity the body. A
field officer of Arnold's division,
who had been made prisoner, ac-
eompanied the aide to the Pres de
Vile guard, and pointed 1t out
among the other bodies, at the same
time pronouncing in accent of grief
glowing eulogium on Montgom-
ery's bravery and worth He was
shot through the mead and thigh.
When his body was taken up his
features were not in the least dis
torted, his countenance appeared
serene and placid, like Che soul
that had animated i. His sword,
the symbol Of his martial honor,
lay close beside him on the snow.
1t was picked up by a drummer
boy, but Immediately afterward
was given to James Thompson, Over
seer of Public Works and Assistant
Engineer during the siege, who had
been inrusted by General Carleton
with the interment of the body.
Through the courtesy of the British
General Montgomery was buried
within the walls of Quebec with the
honors of war.-Harper's Magazine

How TO Dress Warmly

A person with much less weight
or costliness of fclothes-provided he
or she was dressed correctly for the
cold-could face the still, frosty all
without either red face or benumbed
hands, and yet neither be dressed in
fur, carry a muff nor wear a veil. II
is so important to know where to
put the warmth of clothes that a
suggestion just here may save some
suffering, especially among children.
There are three outposts of the body
that need to be guarded from the
cold. These are the knees, the wrists
and the neck, well up to the ears.
If these are thickly and warmly
covered, the rest of the clothing does
not need to be so very heavy as is
The most important of
all to be protected is the knees, and
for the very young and
the elderly. L. is astonishing what
is given by those knitted
knee-caps that fit into the stocking.
These can be drawn over them, if
preferred.
