NATURES BEAUTIES.

On the Rio di Somno, Brazil. at the Dawn
of Morning.
The soft tones of the dawn of fine
morning fell alike upon field and flood
and tinged all creation with it's rosy
hues. The rich-colored banks glowed
with the warm light that made the
dripping leaves of forest, the ferns and
flowers of the shore, all flash and spar
kle like jewels. On the river, here and
there, patches of rising vapor partly
obscured its sheets of cleaning gold,
until gentle breeze carried away the
mist in the faintest of clouds. The fish
splashed in the misty waters;
gay blue-bronze king-fshers darted
from their perches on the bleached
skeleton trunks of stranded snags;
while herons skinned the waters with
wide outstretched wing; clouds OF
noisy, chattering parroquets flew by,
numerous small birds twittered and
chirruped, and in the woods the roar of
guartbas, or bowling monkeys, echoed
and re-echoed from cliff to cliff of the
banks. 1t was picture that even in
the absence of personal comfort one
could gaze upon with delight, and all
nature seemed to welcome the rosy
dawn and pure, fresh air after the bois-
ferrous, darksome night.-Jdnaes W.

THE BAD SPARROW.

A Massachu sets Farmer Accuses Him OF
Destroying Our Native Birds.
An Easthampton farmer who owns a
large meadow on Manhan river tells
me that the birds which used to fire.
quent that region in summer are very
much less numerous than formerly.
Last summer he saw only a single bob
olink where hundreds sang their sharp,
shrill songs years ago. 1t is quite sell
dom of late years that he has seen the
..cow'' black-bird. or the bluejay in his
meadows, He attributes their disap-
pearance to the English sparrow, that
voracious little fellow, which has come
in such numbers and infests every
nook and field, though he is
more of n town bird
than our summer songsters. My most
priced recollections of early country
life are of the merry, saucy bobolink,
and should regret his absence from
our fields and meadows. 1t seems to
be a habit to lay all the trouble that
comes to our native birds to the spar
row. Yet have been unable to satisfy
myself that he is really such bad bird
rs he has the credit of being. He GER
;;inly has the merit of staying with us
through the year, without regard to

The Only Safe Way in Which They Cal

The Only Safe Way in Which They Can
Acquire Property and Prosperity.
While writing on this subject, | have
a word for farm hands, as doubtless
many of them read your paper. have
been an employer of help for nearly
thirty years, and as l look back, | can
trace the history of many of the young
men who worked for me; and without
an exception, those who saved the bulk
of their wages have become men of
property, while those who drew and
spent their wages as fast as they were
earned, are now living from hand to
mouth. 1 wish I could impress on
every farmland who reads this, the
importance of saving and safely invest
ing part of his wages as soon as he is
master of his own time. If you save
one hundred dollars the first year you
work, it may be worth more to you than
a thousand dollars a few years later. /
would much rather a son of mine
should earn by his own labor one hum
dred dollars the first year he was
his own master, than to have him make
one thousand dollars by speculation,
and if | found that he had saved three
fourths of his wages, l should feel that
his financial future was safe. 1t is so
easy to spend money, and the tempta-
tons are so many, that it is only here
and there one will save it. have had
four hands during the last five years,
and but one of them saved dollar on
his years work.

who does it, in few years has enough
money to buy team and tools to begin
as a renter, or to make payment on a
piece of land which will be a home for
him. have met at institutes and 9TH
er farm gatherings during the last ten
years thousands of the leading farmers
of several States, and have often been
surprised to find that the best and
wealthiest among them began life as
farm-laborers, and have fought the bat
tie of life single-handed. l have three
neighbors now who began as farm
hands within twelve years, who worked
by the month until they saved five hum
dred or six hundred dollars each, and
who rented farms. and who have now
bought them. They were all young
men who took an interest in the work,
never thought of the ten hour-pial, and
whose wages were increased from year
to year. When a young man is all the
time afraid that he will more than earn
his wages, he will rarely stay the second
wear on a farm. but when he makes
himself indispensable to his employer,
he usually stays at advanced pay. 1t
took me three years of hard work to
save three hundred dollars, but those
three hundred dollars were worth to
me more than l could possibly have
foreseen at that time. There are
plenty of openings on the farm for
young men of pluck and principle. and
the chances of success are as good now
as when l started.-W. F. Br0U1, IN

Legal Luminaries Who Are Compelled to
Perform Onerous Social Duties.


Perform Oner0us Social Duties.
lCor. Baltimore SUM-
They are most all men of such presence
as to attract attention, even when their
identity is unknown. Justice Bradley
lives on street, much closer to the Capt.
toll than his brothers of the bench, and is
less seen on the avenue than they. He is
scarcely of medium height, and is slight Of
build, but his face is such that one will
turn and look as he passes by. He lives in
the row that three leading Democratic
Senators, just before the war, essayed to
make the most fashionable quarter of
" ashington, and in the same row where
Generals Grant and Sherman subsequent
ly resided. Chief Justice Waite, who lives
also on street, but mile and half west
of Justice Bradley, generally walks alone.
Justice Harlan, who went to Rockville,
last winter to live, when he comes Oh the
avenue walks with different members OF
the court Sometimes he and Justice Gray
will come along together. Judge Harlan
is q man Of spleRdied build, even for q
Kentuckian. He can easily look down on
nine out of ten men that he passes, but
when he walks with Judge Gray he has to
look up, as the latter is really gigantic in
his proportions His frame is not, how
ever, SO well built and he is not as grace
full in his movements as Judge Harlan.
Justice Miller, like the Chief Justice,
seems to prefer Q solitary promenade. His
is one Of the best-known figures On the
avenue, but he rarely has company. and
his most intimate friends are not apt to
join him unless invited. He is one of the
public men here who wear evening dress
upon all occasions, and it must be an ex-
tremely bitter and inclement day when he
supplements it with an overcoat. CurioS-
ity has been expressed as to the reason for
the pedestrian proclivities of the Supreme
Court Justices.
1t is said that they find the exercise alb
solutely necessary, for in addition to their
judicial labors they have to perform more
social duties than any other nine men in the
United States, if not in the world. No
swell dinner in Washington is considered
complete without the presence of one or
more members Of the Supreme Court, ana
almost all of the justices entertain largely
themselves.
