A Battle in the Air.

Thomas Edwards, the Scotch natural
ist, tells about battle in the air be-
tween q Grow and the little Merlin. The
Merlin is bird of lighter mettle and
swifter wing. and when the Grow attack
ed him he managed very easily to evade
him. But the Grow had number of
friends, and Thomas Edwards said all at
once he heard these black coated friends
making a tremendous clamor, and soon
he saw them rise in a mass and help the
fighting Grow. They hung around the
Merlin, while three or four of their num-
Der advanced and Joined in the attack,
the others apparently encouraging and
cheering with their carvings. But the
little NJ erlin dexterously succeeded in
giving each of his adversaries a severe
peck which sent them away screaming
At last Grow with more courage than
the rest dashed against the Merlin with
fury which threatened to throw him
into the sea. But the gallant Merlin
withstood the shock, and delivered a
thrust at his adversary as he approached
and passed him. Then he rose consider
ably higher, followed only by this one
opponent, who with great rage continued
the fight. " Up, up they soar, fighting
as they go. They close, they scream,
they grapple, and their feathers fly like
dust. Down they come locked in deadly
embrace. run to catch them both, but
no. See they part, mount again and
grapple, and both fall into the sea, above
which they were fighting. I looked to
see them rise again, but they did not.
After a little splashing all was over with
the Grow, but not with the Merlin. He
was sill alive, and tried to rise, but
could not. In dealing a th-blow to
his tormenter he got entangled himself,
for his talons entered the bones of the
Grow and could not be withdrawn. Both
met with a watery grave" The Merlin
so famous in the days OF chivalry, when
lord and lady carried the noble bird
upon their crests, is sometimes called the
stone-falcon from his preference for stony
localities. He is the smallest of falcons,
not exceeding eleven inches in length,
but like other members of the Bird
World, he makes up in spirit for what he
lacks in size.-Bwd World.

Who Are Your Associates {?

Allen Winfield lived next door to the
schoolhouse. So he ueed to work until
quarter before nine every morning, and
then expeditiously changed his working
garb for neat school suit, which made
him look like new boy.
I" / wouldn't be digging away there 50
every morning" said Hugh Rogers, as he
lounged over the garden fence about
eight o'clock. 81 am going over to
school to have some fun"
The teacher does not like to have us
come much before school time, said
Allen, and l take more pleasure in
seeing these things come on so well in
the garden than in game of ball, though
l like that well enough, too.
Well, you have curious taste, said
the lounger, as he sauntered on to join a
company OF like-minded lads, who thought
play the main business of life.
Mother was sure to call Allen the mo-
ment he desired
Don't be late, Allen" she said,
glancing at the clock, which said one
minute of nine.
Never fear, mother, said the lad
fastening the last button, Of his jacket
" the teacher Just passed. will be there
as soon as he" And giving his mother
hasty goodbye kiss, he bounded down
the steps, and in another minute was in
his seat at school
Aliens companions were quickly seen
let him be where he would. They were
always the best scholars in the school, nc
matter whether they wore broadcloth OF
homespun. A noble-hearted mother hac
taught him from childhood that charac
ter, not clothes, was the standard by which
to measure people. Nowhere more thar
at school is the old adage true about
birds Of a feather" At recess yor
would see Allen one Of a knot Of boy

Very well, the rest of the scholars
can go down to recess; Nina may keep
her seat"
When the room was cleared, he called
the child to him. what does this
mean?" he asked very kindly. why

ooh, oh, oh, cried the soothing child,
1 am willing, but cannot promise, for
some day 1 might forget, and then my
word would be broken
Our teacher was a man Of rare ludici-
business, and he fully appreciated the
heroism of the effort the child had made,
and with few comforting words soon
sent her, smiling and happy, down to join
her playmates.
I have often since thought of that
brave little girl, who endured so stead
lastly for conscience sake, and that re-
membrance has taught me to be very
careful to seek to understand the motives
of children before condemning them.
Reticence is a popularity of child
hood, and so also is keen sense of JUS
tice; and, often, child's best feelings
are trampled upon, and that sense of JUS
tice outraged, by those to whom it Is
dearest, because it will not or cannot
explain the reaso MS that have prompted
it to action.
The most important thing then, for q
parent to guard, is the conscience of a
child. Remember that honor is a gem

Hugh, just as regularly, gravitated to-
ward very different circle. They were
the tricky boys-those who always keep
the teacher on the alert, nipping in the
bud their plans of mischief or correcting
them for misdemeanors. They get little
profit out of their excellent advantages
for obtaining an education.
Now, cannot anyone easily fancy the
future history of those two boys? One
sinking lower and lower, led on by evil
associates into rounds of dissipation, be-
ginning at the drinking saloon the other

take the responsible positions of honor in

Truthfulness in Children.

would wish to call attention to the
fact that many children are forced into
habits of untruthfulness by want OF
righteousness on the part of their par
ents. Nothing is more common, when a
child has committed fault, and is I'M
der punishment, than to require of it to
say that it is sorry" or that it will do
30 no more" Now, as we are very well
aware, child, while it is being punished,
Is very often not only not sorry, but fire.
quently in state of bitter rebellion
against the one by whom the punishment
is inflicted, and when, forced by pain to
yield, it sacrifices truth to escape further
suffering, It's expressions of penitence are
hypocritical, and therefore most democrat
izing.
Parents who wish to preserve a nice
sense Of honor in their children should
also be careful how they lightly demand
pledge for the future and yet how
constantly you hear the words, Now,
promise mother you will not do so again. -
and when the fault recurs, few hours
later it may be, the child is punished for
the offence, and little stress is laid upon
the broken word
The little rebel who will not say he is
sorry when he is not, and will not prom
Use not to do what he fully intends to do
when opportunity offers, and is therefore
punished for his obstinacy, is often a
martyr to that innate sense Of truthful
ness which is usually very keen in chill
dren; and happy is that parent who
early learns to discriminate between prin.
ciple and contumaciousness.
/ remember, just here, an incident OF
my childhood, which made very deep
impression upon me. In the school that
I attended, the teacher had been much
annoyed by the carelessness Of some OF
the girls In scattering nut-shells around
the playroom during recess, and more
than one reprimand had been delivered
on the subject. Finally, one day he told
us decidedly, that unless we would pledge
ourselves to better behavior we should
not 90 down to recess at all, and asked
all the girls who were willing to promise
obedience, to rise. Every girl sprang tc
her feet at once, except one, child Of
about nine years OF age, one of the gent
lest and most obedieut children in the
school,
Every eye turned instantly toward her
and the teacher looked at her in much
surprise. Nina" he said, I" will yor
not give your promise p

JOHN @. WHITTIER.
Still sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by raps official
The Wrapping floor, the battered seats,
The jack knife's carved initial.
The charcoal freseoes on its walls;
Its doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing.
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over 1t at setting;
Lit up its western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls
And brown eyes, full of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled; :.
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he fingered;
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
As If fault ron fessinp
I'm sorry that 1 spelt the word;
l hate to go above you,
Because" brown eyes lower FELL
Because, you see, love you !"
Still memory to gray haired man
That sweet child face is showing;
Dear girl the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn in life's hard school,
How few who pass above him,
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her-because they love him.
