SAVED BY HIS SONG.

It was getting near the cleaning,
As toward the westering sun
In the woodland l went roaming,
With my powderhorn aud gun.
Now my gun was double barrclled,
Loaded with murd' rous lead.
And a red bird sat and carolled
On bough above my head.
There he sat, and sang, and reyclled
IN the light Of heaven so blest;
But my cruel piece was levelled
At the gentle songster's breast.
Yet he still was fain to linger
On that leafy bow and sing:
But my heart forbade my finger
To impress the fatal spring.
" No, I'll net attempt thy capture,
Nor destroy thy tuneflIl breath
Better iaT thy song Of rapture
Than the silent hush of death ~
So my weapon downward bringing.
On my hOmeTard road l Sped
And left the red-b bird singing
On the b0ugh above my head.

the northeastern Pacific. 1t is about Il
inches long, resembles the smelt in appear

Aunt Annie put towel over the water

she took care to move about very softly.
Presently the poor little fellow, finding that
nobody wanten to hurt him, settled down

The Captain did not allude to the dia-
monds again. and things went on much as
usual at the Laurels. But Mis-. Yalletort
grew nervous and fretful, and took TO sit
ting a good deal in her dressing-room The
Captain kept his word he never again
preached the subject of the diamonds; but
he brooded silently over it, and grew more
morose and taciturn every day. He was
deeply offended by his wife's conduct, and
his irritation was aggravated by the contin-
ual worries which beset him. Morris was
obdurate and his other creditors threatened
him with legal proceedings if he failed to
liquidate his numerous bills. AT last,
driven almost to desperation, the unhappy
man conceived daring plan. If he could
not get his wife's diamonds by fair means
he would get them by foul. He would
steal them. He had no sooner made up
his mind to do this than he resolved TO
carry out the idea al once. He would not
give himself time to think about it, for the
word robbery" has an ugly sound, and
he did not care to say it above a whisper.
One evening. when his wife was dining
with a friend in town. he found that she
had forgotten to take her keys with her.
The opportunity must not be lost; so good
a one might not soon occur again. He
