Tucker" (the only tune he has learned to
play) for her.

AIRY are doing excellent work under their

Harper's Young People
An ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The position of Harpcr's Young People
as the leading weekly periodical for young
readers is well established. The publish
ers spare no pains to provide the best and
most attractive reading and illustrations.
The serial and short stories have strong
dramatic interest, while they are wholly
free from whatever is pernicious or vul-
carly sensational the papers on natural
history and science, travel, and the facts
Of life, are by writers whose names give
the facts Of life, are by writer's whose
names give the best assurance Of accu-
racy and value. Illustrated papers on
athletic sports, games, and pastimes give
full information on these subjects There
is nothing cheap about it but its price.

A sonk-bird that kobs:

A stranger in the little cities q
Southwestern Texas is often awakened
at early dawn by the beautiful but
sorrowful song of the house, or Sob
bling, wren. If the stranger has been
long away from home and friends,
and is particularly sensitive to impress
sions of external nature, he never for
gets the peculiar, melancholy note OF
this tiny songster. 1t begins in a
high, clear key, like the twinkling OF
silver bells, and descending gradually
from one sweet chime to another still
sweeter, it suddenly falters, breaks of
and sobs like a little child-the song
dying away in gasp. The listener is
touched with sympathetic emotion,
and may find it exceedingly difficult
10 suppress the uncomfortable feeling
that one of the little ones in his own
family circle-far, far away, perhaps
lis weeping and sobbing for his re-
turn. This mournful song is heard
only in the twilight Of dawn, and is
repeated but a few times. After
which, the singer, with its plump
brown breast, thickly speckled with
shreds of black, retires through some
crevice in the housetop, and is but
rarely seen during the day.
