Jim not to do it-order him not"
Ny father stroked my hair kindly, but he
said nothing, and presently afterwards he
rose and left the room, taking all my hopes
with him.
Now one popularity in our family was
this-my father rarely gave an order.
His government was entire y one of reason.
I do not say that this was always good
plan, for sometimes we weaker ones went
to the wall in consequence, but SO it was.
He gave general laws, and made his appro-
val of certain lines of conduct known, and
that was all. In this instance Jim knew
what was right as well as father did, but
if he would not do it, father would not
compel him. Now I knew that nothing
made Jim so angry as any slight thrown
on what he called "the cause Of SCIENCE
He thought all private feelings should give
way to the general advance of intelligence,
a theory which by no means works we'll in
the small events of daily life. He was
angry, too, at my having cried, 50 knew
had little mercy to hope Tor at his hands.
Jim, you're bad boy, and I'll fight
you " said Wolf, his honest face abIaze
with wrath"
This was always VOLTS form of disap-
proval. He had been known when he was
about six years old to say it to mother, and
as the threat contained in it was never
carried out, it always provoked shout Of
laughter from the little boys and jim.
When went to bed that night | was
very unhappy, and did not know what to
do. Something | was determined must be
done, but what | had no doubt that
Jim would take the eggs, and that the rob-
in would desert the nest | felt equally
certain.
But besides this, there was little hidden
feeling in my heart, which l would not for
worlds have confessed, but which was very
real all the same. | could not bear the
thought of what the robins thoughts would
would be. You will laugh at me, | dare
say, but | really felt as if the bird woald
have sense to know that it was my brother
who was doing the deed, and that had
been traitor towards her.
"To think" | said to myself "that we
have been together so long, and now she
will never see me again, and never know
that / couldn't help it." OF course my
common sense told me this was nonsense
but imagination is sometimes much more

do it with my own hands, and with this
thought an idea came into my head. |
knew that Jim had done nothing this even
ing, for l had kept him in sight till bed
time. Very probably conflict was going
on in his own mind as we'll.
Ny readers must not think that Jim was
cruel boy. When his better feelings
were reused no one could be more kind
and tender than he, but unfortunately, he
was both proud and obstinate.
/ did not think that he believed that my
robin would desert the nest, but l an very
much afraid that, even if he had thought
SO, feeling Of resentment against me and
father "a reproof from whom he never could
bear would have urged him on to the deed
all the same. Afterwards he would be
sorry, and try to make it up to me in
hundred little ways, but his repentance
would come too late for the robin.
| thought over all this as Ellen and
were undressing in our room, and Ellen's
exclamation at the beauty of the night put
something into my head. She drew up the
blind to let in the moonlight and the soft
freshness of the summer evening air, and
as | put my head out of the window and
looked towards the Abbey ruins I heard
the distant note of robin. Perhaps it
was my robins little mate, singing its even
ing hymn to his little wife before tucking
his head costly under his wing. Next day
he would carry desolate heart in his little
bosom.
Well, | would make one last effort. and
if my robin must suffer, | would rather it
should suffer at my hands than at Jim's,
| would go to the ruins, take away the
nest and hide it. Perhaps the robin would
see in my pitiful face that I did not mean
her any harm,
But this was by no means all my plan.
| would go this very night. | knew that
Jim was an early riser, and was generally
out and about even before my mother,
sometimes at his books, sometimes abroad
in the fields hunting for specimens of birds
eggs, or plants, for Jim took sudden vio-
lent fevers for different branches of know

must de done at once.

The question raised by this case is
the c0nstitutionality Of an act Of

the property of the railway com

maintains that by an act of the

titled IAN act to incorporate the
Covington and Ohio Railroad, "and
another act passed February 26,
1867, authorizing that company to
consolidate with the Chesapeake

WASHINGTON LETTER.

[FrOm Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April II, 1885.
There is apparently little Of in.
terest going on in Washington Just
now, but much is oxpected, and an.
tiCipation is on the qui rire. The
recently appointed heads of depart.
ment and chiefs of bureau, have, of
course, many things to learn before
they can know even the routine Of
their cumbrOus and needlessly com.
plicatcd charges. The subordin.
ates, schooled in twenty years Of
republican red tape absurdity, have
many things to unlearn, il, indeed,
their instruction does not cost them
their heads. | do mot believe that
it will be possible for the present
administration to carry out any
proposed or projected reform with.
out change of crew. The repub,
lican underlings in the various
departments are servile enough,
they will lick the hand that feeds
them, even though i. be the hand
of a bloody Democrat, but they are
skilled in all the vices of political
servility, they were never chosen
for honest work, they are PREACHER.
Gus and disloyal. They live in per.
petual fear and ideal exile, longing
for the return of the republican
party four years hence. How can
such poison trees bear fruit of civil
service reforG? In their heart they
regret every measure and every
event that recommends their hated
cnptors to the country. II is only
in enthusiastic, faithful hearts and
willing hands that Mr.. Cleveland
will find the genuine sympathy
and cooperation, without which
his best aspirations will fall fiat.
The motives of the President arc
unquestionably patriotic, and the
broadCst and best democracy is no.
partisan. 1t is yet too early to
ctilicise his policy, for statesman
