A Bird Study.
From the Atlantic Monthly.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
The mocking-bird's emotions were
so intense and so originally displayed
that he was a constant source of in
terest. A hand glass lying face up
gave opportunity for an amusing ex.
hibition one day. Leaning over it, he
pulled out every feather, opened his
mouth, and tried the glass with his
beak at every point. Meeting no sat-
isfaction, he turned to leave it, but
first peeped slyly over the edge to see
if the stranger were still there, no
doubt unable to get over his surprise
at seeing a bird III that position and
ready to meet his bill at every point.
The same glass standing up brought
out O. different demonstration. He
stood in front of it and swelled
himself out, while the feath-
ers of the shoulders and breast
we're erected. Then he opened his
mouth wide and attacked the
reflection, but was astonished to meet
the glass. He touched the bill of his
double with his own, and moved all
the way to the bottom of the glass,
not takingit away, but apparently try
ing to seize the one which opposed his.
He lowered his head as thought to take
hold of the enemy's foot, then pulled
Himself up as straight as a soldier,
wings and tail constantly Jerking with
excitement. After INDUCING for some
time in these proceedings, he lodged
around behind the glass, plainly ex-
pecting to pounce his opponent,
and surprised not to do so. Several
times he drew himself up, swelled out
his breast, and clustered before the
glass. Once he flew up with the refec-
ton in the n of a quarrelsome
cock, and upon reaching che top of
the glass naturally went over and
landed behind, without an enemy in
sight. Upon this he stared a moment,
as if dazed, then shook himself out
and flew away in evident disgust.
The deliberate, l~eisurely dressing
of plumage with which many birds pass
away the dull hours is an oc-
cupation in which the mock
ing-bird never had time to indulge.
He was a bird of affairs; he had too
much on his mind for lettering. Anew
sudden, thourough shakes, a rapid
snatching of the wing and tail feathers
through the beak, or, after a bath, a
violent beating the air with both
wings while holdingt tightly TO tbs perch
with his feet, suaicedf for his toilet. Not.
withstanding his apparent careless
ness, his plumage was soft and exquis-
lite in texture, and when wet III downy
breast feathers matted together and
hung in locks, like hair. Through a
common magnifying-glass each tiny
barbule was seen to be ringed with
gray and silvery white, SO finely that
the rings could hardly be seen.

"Under the weather.

A st. Augustine correspondent o.
The Philadelphia Record, whether in
tentionally or not, gives what may
pass for a sly thrust at the injustice
to the occupants of the soil who pre-
coded the present owners when he
says: "After the purchase of Florida
from Spain it took a seven years war
with the Seminole Indians to procure
aquiet title and peaceablepossession.
And he shows, further along, how tn
invaders cannot conquer the climate
which he suggestively declares, weak
n kneejoints and kills ambition:
1t is not given to man to shape tn
weather, but the weather does shape
the man. The invincible sunshine and
the warm compulsive rains soon have
their %infiunce upon the going and com
ing of the swiftest goers and corners.
1t is not reasonable that o. person
who can pick his breakfast from an
o~range-tree and gather q dinner ofba-
nanas should develop the energy OF q
differently situated person who must
plant his potatoes and hoe and dig
them before he can have the pleasure
of eating them. So the Northerner
who comes down here and builds him
a house the first month Of his stay,
and plants his grove the next gradu;
ally finds himself falling into slipshod
ways. His fences get to be disreputa
BILE; his house is not fresh painted; his
walks are neglected; his garden goes TO
weeds; and he and his wife and his
children settle into the asyuntidiness
which BELTS the latitude. 1t Is the
latitude which governs. II the May
flower had landed at st. Augustine
instead OF Plymouth Rock, possibly
the Seminoles would have been sooner
exterminated; but the Yankee deyel.
oped on the meagre and stony soil o.
w-England would have been q o
existent parsonage. He could never
have been brought forth in an orange
grove nor fed on sweet potatoes. his
mental, moral and physical fibre 90
quired their accidental toughness I'D
the hard school of necessity"

SnBY'S NAME.

Then father took the Bible down,
And in his clear old fashioned hand
Upon it's Record pages brown
He wrote the name as it should stand.
But protest came from all the rest
At givingsuch q little fairy
The dearest, sweev est and the best,
That Anticipated name to carry.
And aunts and second cousins cry
"a name so worn and ordinary
Could not be found il one should try
AS that same appellation Mary"
And DER and Ger again they laud
Her yellow ours, her baby grace,
"Oh, call her 'Ethelind,' or Maud
Or Christine, for her angel face"
"But time will change this golden fleece
To match the eyes in dusky s%plendor;
Fla better name her Beatrice
Or lmogen,' serene and tender"
ooh, name the child for Aunt Louisa,
For she, good soul, is well-to-do,
The compliment is sure TO please her,
And we can call the darling Lou"
Most prudent counsel, all too late!
'Twixt Malachi's and Matthews pages
Appears, Interchangeable as fate,
The name beloved OF all the ages.
The Ancient gem, its purity
Unspoiled shall grace our latest beauty;
Sometime on dearer lips to be
The synonym OF love and duty.
And gracious womaphood adorn,
fortunes gift may vary,
Till ON a day like Easter morn
She hears the Master call her MARY"

Women are not as well Constituted, phys
lcally, or mentally, as men are for commit
ting crimes. They have never elevated muir
der to the rank OF a "hne art" A few have
succeeded as prisoners, and have acquired
regulations that rave extended through all
countries and will probably live through all
time. Women have great advantages over
men In exercising the art Of poisoning. 1t Is
a principal part OF their duty to prepare
food aud drinks, 70 serve refreshments, and
TO administer medicine to the sick. All
these employments afford excellent oppor-
tunities for dealing out poison<
Women, however, though graceful In
other respects, are very awkward In the en-
ployment Of cutting Instrument and fro
arms. They are also likely to overdo every
pistol balls into tho body Of a person they
wish 10 pass off for n suicide. They should
learn that one bullet carefully lodged In the
heart, lungs or brain is likely to settle any
thing but a very tough customer. Wasting
too much ammunition Is likely to excite sus-
picion.
Female novicss In the art Of poisoning
rarely do a very fine job. Women are more
t~horough-going than mon, and are likely to
overdo everything they undertake until
they ave had considerable experience.
Women AVE bean known to administer an
ounce Of arsenic or a dram OF pruszio acid to
a person whose existence thsy desired to ter

Again, women not only give too much
poison 10 produce tho desired effect, and
shoot OIL too many charges from n revolver,
but they tell too many stories after they
have concluded their enterprise. Until
