worm to show him how, and tenderly offer it as slight lunch after his exer- tion So they went on. that clumsy and greedy youngSter indured by his desire for worms. while the patient teacher encouraged and worked for him. A for making an effort for himself, the notion nevey entered his head.
 Not long after I saw one of the same brood seated on twig and asking to he fed. 1 was quite near, and the robin papa hesitated to come. Master Robin called more and more sharply, drawing up his wings without opening them, ex- acfly like shrug of the shoulders, and jerking his body in such a way that it looked like stamping his foot. It was funny exhibition of youthful imperi- ousness, and rescmbled what in child we call spunkiness.
 One of the most interesting entertain ments of the later days was to hear the young bird s music lesson. In the early morning the father would place himself in the thickest part of the tree, not as usual on the top, in plain sight, and with his pupil near him would begin, Cheeryl cheery be cheery !" in a loud, clear voice; and then would follow feeble, wavering. uncertain attempt to copy the song. Again papa would chant the first stra'n. and La)y would pipe out his funny notes. This was kept up, til in q surprisingly short t'me, after much daily practice To h with the copy and without. could hardly tell father from son.
 When the maple leaves turned. in the fall, and the little home in the tree was left empty and desolate. l had it brought down to examine. It was curious and remarkably well-made nest. being per feet cup of clay. little thicker around the top, well moulded and covered in- side and out with dry grass. This snug cottage of clay has been the scene of some of the sweetest experiences of all lives, great as well as small. For the happiness it has held will preserve it; and thus moralizing placed it on a bracket in memory of 8 delightful study of the Bird of the Morning. - Oliuc TtoTne lMiiiey, in Atid,atic Monthly.

THE BIRD OF THE MORNING.

If every bird has his vocation, as a poetical French writer suggests, that of the American robin must be to inspire cheerfulncss and contentment in men. His joyous :. Cheer upi cheer upl Cheeryi Be cheery! Be cheery" poured out in the early morning from the top branch of the highest tree in the neighborhood, is one of the most stimu- lat ng sounds of spring, He must be unfeeling, indeed, who can help desert ing his bed and peering through blinds till he discovers the charming philoso- pher. with head erect and breast glow ing in the dawning light, forgetting the cares of life in the ecstasy of song.
 Beside admonishing others to cheer fitness, the robin sets the example. Not only is his cheering voice the first in the morning and the last at night-of the day birds but no rain is wet enough to dampen his spirits. In drizZly, un- comfortable day, when all other birds go about their necessary tasks of food hunting in dismal silence, the robin is nJt whit less happy than when the sun sh ncs; anl his ehecry voice rings out 10 comfort not only the inmates of the damp little home in the maple, but the owners of waier-pyoofs and umbrellas who nope in the house.
 The most delightful study of one sum mer, not long ago, was tie daily lie, the joys and sor, ows, of family of robius, whose pretty castle in the air r.sted on a stous folk of maple,trce bran.h near my window. Lay by day ! watched lheif ways till l learned to know them well
 The scat chosin for observations was under tree on the lawn, which hap pencl tp be the robins hunting-ground; and he.e 1 sat for hours ct time, quietly looking on at his work and lis- tening to the robin talk around me; the low, confidential chat in the trees where the little wife was busy. the live ly gossip across the street with neighy bors in ano her tree, the warning "futl tutN when stranger appeared, the ware ny when an iniruding bird was 10 be driven away, and the joyous ''P-e-e-pl tut, tut, tut, whom he alight- ed on the fence and surveyed the lawn before him, Tapping his wings and jerking his tail with every note.

The Chinese Race.

On board the Australia, on which sailed to Honolulu, writes Moncure D. Conway, there is q rather venerable Chinaman, called John Tuck, who is nearly blind and seems to do only light work. When number of years ago one of the Pacific Mail ships was taking q cargo of gold to Hong Kong fire broke out, tue Chinese sailors were de- moralized and this man mainly con trolled them, taking the side of the officers. It was largely owing to him that the crew did not seize everything sunk and there is some talk of trying to find the bars of gold still in that water. The company would not part from John Tuck after that. They all speak highly of the Chinese servants on board, and surely there could not be better sers ants. Our cooks are China men, and 1 only wish there were such on some of the Atlantic steamships on which l have travelled. Every dish that comes on the table has plainly had special care bestowed on it, and our daily curry Gan old traveller tells mel is equal to any that can be got in any country There are on board about l0l Chinese, men and women, on their way to settle in the Sandwich Islands. Ever s nee we left San Francisc ,. and even now, when we are in the tropics, these people pre- CT to cram themselves like sardines in their hold beneath the deck and play dominos while they melt, rather than enjoy their deck and the breezcs that never fail us. The nner be- ing of these Chinamen must be curious ly constructed. The women, several of whom have babies. do not play at dominos. nor anything else, yet. instead of enjoying the open air. they sit in their small rooms below the deck. The captain showed me around the ship, and in one small room we found four women and two babies, though they are all allotted ample room. There seems 10 be . swarming instinct, as of bees in hive, at work in them. 1 observed that the two Chinese babies were decidedly pretty, and there was nothing in their features that appeared chara teristic of their race. 1 could ha dly have dstingu shed them from bright mulatto infants. Unless while he is paying at dominos, 1 have oh- served no Chinaman in a state of re- pose. No matter what the heat or the time of day, these men seem to be al- ways doing something, as if mot.on rather than inertia were their natural state. They move about as no selessly as in. essantly, and at table appear to anticipate one's request before it is uttered Their faces are always peace ful, and haze only observed one that, has any wrinkles in it. They are said to have remarkably good health, despite their sregard of ventilation and their opium smoking. Their two pass ons are opium and gambling, but their fricndlier critics say that they do not carry either to the excess prevalent among whisky dr nkers and gamblers of winter complexion.

JUS CONSTRUCTION.

-
Some Extraordinary Architectural sug.
gestions.
A house can be made warm in winter
and cool in summer by a simple, and
not very expensive process. 1t is we'll
known to most persons that the air
OF mines and caverns is always of the
same temperature, for the reason that
they are below the influence of the
temperature at the surface. They arc
not affected by the cold of winter nor
the heat of summer. Let us try to
make a practical application of this
important fact. This may be done by
laying a large sewer pipe, so cementcd
as to be impervious to the surrounding
air and water, at least ten or twelve
feet under ground, the inner end OPEN
ing into II air chamber in the base
ment. This pipe should be extended
at that depth distance'of not less than
100 feet and better 200inany convenient
direction, there to end in u perpendicu-
lar ventilating shaft, which should ex-
tend at least ten feet above the ground,
and be protected by a hood which
should freely admit the air, but keep
out rain and snow, In winter this ar
would be warmed, in passing through
the pipe to a temperature like that of
the ground surrounding the pipe, which
would not be far from SO deg. F. All
we would have to do then would. be to
raise it 20 deg. more, or to 20 deg. by
our heating apparatus. Suppose VIC
have a temperature of 10 deg. below
zero. not an uncommon occurrence in
this State, our supply pipe would warm
it without expense to about SO deg,
making a clear gain of 60 deg, having
only to raise the temperature 20 deg.
to bring 1t to 20 deg, the desired tenn
perature, instead of raising it so deg.
on the ordinary plan. 1t would GER
tainly result in a great saving of fuel.
In Summer, when the temperature is
80 deg. Or more, the air will be cooled
down to the temperature of the earth.
to the same temperature it was in Win
ter, Or nearly so. Suppose it enters
our air chamber at 60 deg. we then
close the doors and windows, and the
heated air of the house will naturally
ascend through channels provided for
that purpose, and the cool air from the
chamber will ascend to supply its place.
The result would be a delightful cool
ness throughout the house, without a
| penny of expense except for the origi-
nal plant. This plan, VIZ believe, is
| entirely feasible, is comparatively mex
pensive and, if successfully accom-
plished, is very economical.-F. G.

How . Sleek Young Man Played 1t on -
Lot of Street Loafers.
Yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, dog with a tin kettle tied to
his wagging machinery was observed
on an Austin street. The dog did not
appear to be much more alarmed at the
kettle than the average politician is
when he is nominated to a lucrative
position. He took it as q matter ct
course. There was a tall, sleek-look-
ing young man standing near a crowd
on the sidewalk. He looked. ~intently
at the dog for a moment, and then en-
claimed:
.'By thunder! that is banker Thomp-
sons little daughters lost dog that hs
has offered fifty dollars for"
Five ditferentmen, with their tongues
sticking out like mucilage bottles, try
ing to whistle, and saying, ''that's a
good little doggy" advanced on the
astonished animal. One very respect
able looking gentleman, with a silk hat
on, tried to detain the animal by his
handle, but the dog got mixed up with
it's legs, and down he came like a pile
driver. Several hackmen, who were
subsequently, arrested for leaving their
teams, joined in the canvass, ana when
the procession turned the corner, with
the dog and tin kettle attachment
twenty feet in advance, almost every
class of the cosmopolitan population
had its delegate in the pageant.
Then it was that the sleek young
man doubled himself up and went be-
hind a store door until his emotions
had passed of.-7eras S!;tftings.
