A BrOken-Hearted Bird.

A correspondent thus writes: "Near-
ly twenty years ago owened pair
of beautiful canaries--the male being
very fine fellow, with rich musical
note. Having furnished them with
the outside rough form of a nest in
straw, leaving them to complete its
comforts with bits of soft wool, down.
and small feathers, they were shortly
in the happy possession of four eggs.
In due course four young ones pre-
sented themselves, to the evident
delight of the parents, who fed them
from daylight to dark, their favorite
food being the yelk of boiled
eggs. lime brought round the period
when, instead of raw, naked, helpless
creatures always "asking for more"
four full-fedged young birds frisked
about the cage like so many pretty
yellow balls of fine soft wool. They
grew to be very fine birds; and first
one friend and then another coveted
them, until all had gone but one
little youngling, which remained as
the only solace of the parents. This
last of thS family was the delight of
their hea>ss; they fondled it and
PLAYED with it as we have seen an
affectionate mother do with her child,
and seemed to exert themselves to
amuse it in every way their fancy
prompted.
Probably a happier little family
never existed. But, alas! the spoiler
came. Another friend coveted the
last of the flock, and it was taken
away. And from that moment the
Joyous song of the male bird gave
place to a painfully feeble little chirp.
He sat on the perch with dropping,
heart-broken, spiritless aspect; his
wings hung down as if all power and
vitality had left him; and within twen-
ty-four hours from the time of his be-
reavement he fell dead from the
perch. The aifectionate creature had
evidently died of grief for the loss of
his lone eve lamb" The cage was
given away with the remaining bird;
and no inducement could tempt me
again to run the risk of perhaps un-
being the cause of so
much unhappiness and misery

A Modern COurtship.

She was daffodil and possessed all
the sweetlings of her sex. He asked:
''Would there be any objection
from the head of the table if we
should conclude to Siamase?"
Silence prevailed until he could ex-
plain matters. He took fresh courage,
and continued:
II would shield you my darling,
from the cold and frosty winds of
heaven, and from the dismal bowling
storms of earth. would love you
ever and ever. and protect you from
those who would make your life
dreary and unhappy. Speak, dearest,

tractiveness of the land

tractiveness of the land.
But that attractiveness, at any rate
in the winter season, is wonderfully
great. After a few days at the best
hotel, we decided that, in order to spend
a winter in Jamaica with any comfort.
it would be necessary to keep house,
and so went to look at furnished houses
in the mountains back of Kingston,
To do this we had to drive to the foot.
hills, and then 60 on horseback over
the narrow bride paths which led to
the summit of the mountains. We
wound about through the mountain
gorges, thickly planted with broad
leaved bananas and occasional orange
groves. Perched above them on the
steep sides we saw solitary negro huts,
thatched with palm, with sides woven
of rude wicker work. | had read sc
often of travellers who felt thrill OF
delight at the first sight of tropical
vegetation that had come to distrust
them, and was amazed to find that
there really was something thrilling in
the sight of even such mildly tropi-
cal vegetation as we saw that day.
There were myriads of hibiscus shrubs
with glowing scarlet blossoms, poin.
settias waved across the way like red
flags, purple passion flowers twined
along the patch, and strange orchids
and ferns nodded from its sides. Long,
thin cacti crawled over the rocks like
green snakes, and near them grew i'm
mense clusters of pink begonia, which
the boy with us called rock bush. 1t
was not that the vegetation, at least in
the part of the mountains which we
traversed, was denser or finer than in
some damp northern forest, or the
flowers more plentiful, but that they
were either new or that such as we are
accustomed to see cherished in hot
houses here grow wild.
After passing for two hours through
scenery of the widest and most pic
turesque beauty we finally reached the
summit, where the view was superb.
The mountains below us looked like an
angry ocean, and beyond them we saw
Kingston harbor and the Caribbean
sea. In spite of all the practical draw
backs to living here, it is quite mis-
taken theory that either an artist or
botanist has completed his education
if he has not been to Jamaica.

The Tale of q Calf.

Last Wednesday afternoon, as the
day freight train going north on the
Danbury and Norwalk Railroad was
approaching Cannon's Station. three
calves were discovered on the track,
who seemed disposed to dispute the
right of way with the train. The en-
gineer whistled a shrill warning to
them, but they needed it not. The
train being heavy it was impossible to
make a quick stop, and brakeman
named Gilbert jumped off and ran
ahead to "shoo" them into ditch.
They didn't "shoo" worth snap, and
Gilbert grabbed one of them by the
tail with the intention of throwing
him over into the lot, whereupon the
affrighted animal started on a run up
the track with Gilbert clutching his
tail. If you've ever tried it, you know
it's no fool of q job to maintain close
with a frightened calf.
when you're obliged to run
straddle-legged to avoid being kicked
by the flying hind hoofs. And that's
what Gilbert thought as he danced
rapidly along trying to make up his
mind whether he had the calf or the
calf had him. Meantime the engine
was gaining on them, and just as it
seemed probable that the cow-catcher
would overhaul the calf-catcher, Gill
bert, by stroke of good fortune, sue
,eeded in rolling himself and calf head
;ver heels and hoof down the bank,
md the train whizzed by within a
lair's breadth of them. Ga

Lotteries M Mexico.

Lotteries are sanctioned by the
Church and the Government in
Mexico. A lottery office is on nearly
every block, and there are at every
corner men, women and children
peddling tickets like newspapers.
Many of the hospitals and other
charitable institutions are sustained
by this sort of gambling, and the
only railroad in Mexico that is owned
at home was constructed upon the
profits of lottery. The principal
Institution in the City OF Mexico is
"The Lottery of Divine Providence,
and the dead walls were lately cover
ed with placards announcing that on
the anniversary of the appearance
of the Holy Virgin to the shepherd
at Gaudalope would be celebrated
by great religious ceremonies, with
cock fights, bull fights, games of
chance and other attractions.

BE A DUDE YOUNG MAN.

Eds Journal: | have been constant
reader ofthe newspapers but | have never as
yet been able to read an article in defence
OF the Dude. The press, great orators
preachers, in fact the public generally, look
upon the dude as menace to civilization.
He is considered an upstart, dandy, or an
advertisement for fancy tailoring estab-
lishment Now, dear reader, | propose TO
prove to you right here that the dude is
the most honorable human being on top side
OF the earth We shall discuss both sides of
the question The following are supposed
to be the general characteristics ofth dude
|. His face and hands are always clean
He keeps his moustache shaved and hair
trimmed nicely
2. He wears good clothes, they fit him ele-
gantly He also wears white collars and
cuffs.
3. He talks politely, uses big words,
sprinkles cologne on himself in fact the
dude is polished from head to foot. Now
we will look at the other side this subject
!. Is it not better for young man to
take an up start in life than down start ?
Foes it not look better to have clean face,
neck and hands than to look as dirty as a
street Arab?
2. OF course white man should wear
good clothes. 1t shows self-respect He
takes pride in himself 1t is not necessary
that he should buy an expensive suit OF
clothes any ordinary suit will look nice on a
young mum if he has it made to fit him and
keeps it brushed up
3 Politeness is the most noble character
istic young man can acquire. Why should
a young man not use big words in CONVEX
sation as well as some low down phrase.
The dude is like the lrishman in some re-
spects, he has been imposed upon. The sill
" stories printed in the newspapers about
the dude are mere tabrications In conclu-
sion ! will say be a dude young man, and
when you have passed the meridian Of life
you will never regret that you was a dude in
your younger days DORIS & DAsHEs.
