A Waterbury correspondent tells the
following story of robin that was put
in jackdaws' cage in the bar-room of
an hotel: The jackdaw made war on
the intruder, and for some time the rob-
bin endured with patience. At length,
however, the robin discovered that the
cage door was open every morning, so
he availed himself of his privilege and
strolled out on the bar Mr.. Kunkel,
knowing by long experience a renown-
ed antidOte for domestic infelicity, set
before the bird a glass of Bourbon
whisky. Into this the bird plunged lis
bill, drank freely, and every day there
after was a regular caller If the glass
were hidden away he would hunt until
he found it, would drink until he was
as full as the storied lord, and would
then, with assistance, reel back to his
cage and querulous companion. The
jackdaw scolded louder than ever and
grew daily thinner. while the robin
grew plump and sleek. The other day,
after the bacchanaliau redbreaSt had re-
turned in an unusually foolish state, he
added to his disagreeableness by silly
twitterings and hiccoughings about the
cage floor. The jackdaw alighted on
the perch over him and began a lecture
which filled the whole room with its
shrillness. At length the robin, as
though he had endured as long as he

Important Announcement

The committee appointed by the Star and
Crescent Literary Society to overhaul and set
in order the library known as the Ohio State
Library, find that many sets OF valuable books
are broken by the loss OF one or more VOL
umes. 1t is thought that many of these
books are in the homes of the people OF this
city and township, and are retained under
the impression that all the books have been
so scattered. The above named society have
more than three hundred books Of the old
library, and will gladly receive any other
volumes that may be returned to its shelves.
Those persons who find such books in their
possession will coafer great favor upon the
society by sending in the copies 10y any pupil
of the High School or any one attending the
Central building. They may be left with the
principal or any OF the teachers.
All the books are marked ''Ohio State Lii
brary'' on the side, back or on the inner side
OF the cover.

MAG sZINEIND SEHSPAPER NOTES

The American Agriculturist for March,
New York, ISL Broadway is bright and
breezy.
For twenty years the Turf, Field and Farm
has been under the same direction, and 1t has
grown up with the breeding industries
founded since the civil war. 1t also has
largely influenced the wonderful development
of turf, field athletic, squatic and other sports.
No journal in the country stands so close TO
the breeders and track managers, and none
more truly voices their sentiments. Having
had so much experience, 1t always gives wise
counsel, and its views command the widest
respect, aud are quoted throughout America
and Europe. No paper of its class published
in this country ever had SO strong staff.
The best talent that can be found is employed
in every department. The paper is unaP-
preached in accuracy as well as IN the vigor-
Gus expression Of Intelligent though, and it
is not matter of wonder that its circulation
should be greater than that of any other
Journal devoted 10 kindred subjects. The en-
terprise OF the Turf, Field and Farm is not
less marked than its ability, and it is pleas
ure to find it SO numerously read and WELD
ing 80 much power. The Turf is edited by
Mr.. Hamilton Busby, native of this county,
who is also part owner. Address publishers

The Farm and Fireside concern, Of this

dinarily successful career. 1t is only seven
years old, and yet the paper of that
name has over 10000 regular subscrib-
ers, and has nearly twice the circula-
ton OF any agricultural Journal published in
the world As many as 5000 copies of
one issue Of this excellent journal have been
sent out The proprietors are MessIs. p p
Mast, our well-known manufacturer; Mr.. J.
s. Crowell and Mr.. Thomas J. kirkpatrick
Mr.. Crowell gives his entire attention to the
business department of he paper, and Mr..
kirkpatrick gives his attention to the edi-
torial department. By the way, Mr.. C. Z.
Thorne does very excellent and acceptable
editorial work on the paper. The four
story Farm and Fireside building. on
the corner of High and Factory streets, is
the finest structure devoted 10 the issuing of
an agricultural journal in America or Europe
Il is of pressed brick, aud has a remarka-
bly, fine equipment, Throughout. Few pri-
yate houses are so elegantly furnished as are
the counting room and the private rooms OF

How weary we grow of life's routine,
Bow weary Of toll and OF tears.
How weary of sorrow and disc0rd,
How weary of doubling and fears.
Ahi roses may bud INTO blossoms,
But soon they viii fade with decay,
So, hopes, promise sweet for the morrow,
Bat die e'er the close of to-day.
How weary we grow Of vain dreaming,
How bitterly weary OF care,
We clutch, like the drowning, at sunbesms,
But hold only emptiest air;
The waves from the hearts troubled waters,
e'er cease in their ebb and their flow,
The shadows vi jcn darken each pathway
Are scattered like phantoIns OF woe.
How weary we grow of the journey
That leads through the maZes of sin
All! Is there in all lis wide realm
One pleasure THAI paid us 10 win
One pleasure that brought, like the lily,
No sting in its pure, fragrant heart,
No pang that could hi der perfection
No beauty that could not depart.
How weary, ard weary, and weary
From hill and from valley and plain
The drear moaning wall echoes sadly
But We take up cur bUrthen again"
And tho we are walking in darkness
Thank God for the nope IN each breast
The saddesT, the weaIiest toiler
shall find at the end sweetest rest.
