A LITTLE BIRD TELLs.

It's strange how little boys mothers
Can find 1t all out as they do,
If fellow does anything naughty,
Or say anything that's not true,
They'll look at you just moment,
Till your heart in your bosom swells,
And then they know all about it
For little bird tells!
Now. where the little bird comes ffom,
Or, where the little bird goes,
Ifhe's covered with beautiful plumage,
Or black as the king of crows;
If his voice is as hoarse as raven,
Or clear as the ringing bells,
know not; but this am sure Of
A little bird tells!
The moment you think thing wicked,
The moment you do thing bad;
Are angry, or sullen, or hateful,
Get angry. or stupid. or mad;
Or tease a dear brother or sister
That instant your sentence he knells.
And the whole to mamma in a minute
That little bird tells!
You may be in the depth of the closet
Where nobody sees but a mousse;
You may be all alone in cellar,
You may be on the top of the house;
You may be in the dark and the silence,
Or out in the woods and the dells-
No matter! Wherever it happens,
The little bird tells!
And the only contrivance to stop him
Is just to be sure what to say
Sure of your facts and your fancies,
Sure Of your work and your play;
Be honest, be brave, and be kindly,
Be gentle and loving as well.
And then you can laugh at the stories
The little bird tells

PLowING-IN WEEDs.-There may be
some advantage in permitting weeds to
grow on the stubbles, with the intention of
blowing them in, provided they are not left
long enough to ripen their seeds. A bare
fallow, in which the soil is exposed to the
sun and rains, is injurious to the land; it is
far better to have the soil covered with
some kind of vegetation, if it is nothing
but the prevalent summer weeds. Every
crop of weeds plowed in, lessons the stock
of weed seed in the soil, and does so much
toward cleaning the land, if care is exercis-
ed to bury the weeds before the seed are
formed. An excellent method of covering
The weeds is, loop chain from the plow
beam, SO that it gathers the strip OF weeds
on the furrow slice, and as this turns, drags
the weeds into the fuIrow, when they are
covered in completely, and buried where
they will soon decay and enrich the soil.

THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE ANGELS.

The following lines were written by the late
'oet. Longfellow, on the death of his first wife
when the hours of day are numbered,
And the voices OF the night
Wake the better soul that slumbered
To holy, calm delight:
ERE the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the ftful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
"Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved. the true -hearted,
Come to visit me once more;
And with them tho Being Beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than ali things else to love me,
And now saint in heaven.
with a slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine;
Takes the sacred chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
Ard she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and te ,.-r eyes,
Like the stars SO still and saint like,
Looking downward from the skies"

Was the name formerly given to scrofula
because Of superstition that it could be
cured by q kings touch. The world is
wiser now, and knows that
SCROFULA
can only be cured by thorough purifca-
ton of the blood. If this is neglected,
the disease perpetuates its faint through
generation after generation. Among its
earlier symptomatic developments are
Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tu-
mors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas,
Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Ply
sical Collapse, etc. If allowed to con-
tinue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Ca
tarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases,
Tubercular Consumption, and vari-
Gus other dangerous OF fatal maladies, are
produced by it.

A Novel Will Case.

PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. 2-A novel case came up in the probate court this morning which will probably be the basis of law suit The will ot Benjamin Deake, of Cape Elizabeth, was presented for probate Deake died in 1854, leaving two sons Charles and George. No will was brought forward and the estate was divided between the sons. Both Charles and George are now dead and among their papers has been found this will thirty-two years old. The will leaves his estate in trust to Miles Stand ish of Boston, the income to be paid to his sons during their lives and after their decease to the grand children The witnesses to the will are now dead, but their handwriting has been identified beyond doubt. The pres ent condition of the estate is as follows: Charles Deake, of Portland, left a will leaving his property in trust for the ben Deake of Portland and Mrs. Edith L. Browne of New York George Deake recently died, leaving no chi1drn. He left a will giving the use of his property to his widow during her lifetime and at her decease dividing it among benev. olent institutions, The children of Charles Deake present this newly dis covered will for probate, claiming they are entitled to the whole property. The statutes prohibit the probate of a will after twenty years from the decease of the testator, but the attorneys for Deakes contented that this statute does not apply when @ will has been suppressed and that the will must be presented for and decision obtained before the other proceedings can be instituted in higher court. Judge Peabody denied the will and the case will be brought before an equity court.
