And you cast it from your keeping.

Slowly, surely, an awakening
To the acorn's little heart
Tlp the tiny germ within it
Makes a sudden, silent start
Time goes on. You have forgotten
All about the little shell,
Which, as years slip into decades,
Works its secret mission well.
Ab, could you but read the future,
You would scarce believe the wonders
Springing from that acorn she'll
First you see come slowly peeping
From the ground tiny sprouts;
Soon 'twould be tender sapling,
Sending budding leaflets out.
Then you'd see. as years passed onward
What, as boy, you d thrown away
Making cool and grateful shadow
For your silvered head some day.
You would see the forest growing
Round the grand old parent tree;
Hear the woodman's axe resoundinR,
And the busy builders sap
At their work on ship and dwelling;
See the vessel proudly glide,
Carrying precious burden
Ger the ocean wild and wide.
All, my boys, we can not always
From cause Judge its effect.
Grand results may lie safe hidden
In some duty you'd neglect
Just because twas small and trlfing.
So, my lads, just watch; you'll see

Cheerfulness the Great Requisite For the
Preservation OF Home Joys.

Faber, .swho have the gift of finding Joy
everywhere, and of leaving it behind

under their fingers like jets of light.
Their influence is an inevitable gladden.
ing of the heart. It seems as ii shadow
of Gods own gift had passed upon
them. They give light without meaning
to shine"
Such bright hearts have great work
to do for God and humanity. In the
dark hours of the Nations history it is
such as these whose cheerful exhorta-
tions keep together the ''forlorn hopes"
of patriotism. In seasons of financial
depression it is really wonderful to see
how the great public searches for the
men who with apparently sincere hearts
can utter words of hope, and how, when
found, it leans upon them, and willingly
follows their example. In ouf private
experiences, too, how much do we all
owe to the cheer of sympathetic friends!
Such cheerful souls are in demand every
where; but in no place is the inspiration
of their presenos needed more than in
the home.
Cheerfulness, it has been well said, is
largely matter of temperament. 1t
depends, also, to a great extent upon
good digestion and good pulse. but it
may also be matter of philosophy. Lit
is something which is capable OF culti-
| walton.
We have all seen a child who has had
q fall rise to its feet, uncertain wheth-
Ell to laugh or cry. For second its
emotions are on the brink of indecison,
and may fall one way or the other. But
the mother is there, and helps it to de-
eide by breaking into laugh herself.
The child concludes to treat the affair
as a Joke, and laughs heartily over the
grotesqueness of the situation.
1t is often so with children of q larger
growth. There are many situations in
life when it seems to be uncertain
whether it is best to laugh or to cry
over misfortune. 1t is worth while
in such uncertainties, to cultivate thu
habit of looking on the cheerful
side We are not permitted b,
the law of charity to laugh a

can help i), but there is no law agains
laughing at our own. An indifferen
frivolity is one thing; but the habit o
discovering the humorous elements il
our unpleasant experiences in life ma.
serve to oil the wheels of life and pre-
vent too much friction.
Let us be cheerful at home. What
ever murky disheartenment men hav
had to plod through during the day,
burst Of light and cheer, kind of dc
nestle dayspring, should break upo
them the moment they enter tn
charmed circle of home. ''An out

A FRENCH DOG STORY.

The Quaint Judgment of King, by Which
Dog wrung a Confession From q MUIR
derer.
Scaliger relates that a, gentleman Of
high position, named Macaire, one of
the body-guard Of King Charles " Of
France, having some grudge against
one of his comrades, Aubry de Mont
didier, meeting him one day in the for
est of Bondy, near Paris, accompanied
only by his dog, treacherously murdered
him and buried his body. What the dog
was doing while his master was beng
murdered Scaliger does not tell us; but it
appears to have been temporarily abb
sent, probably hunting. When it re-
turned it found out the spot where its
masters body was buried, and lay down
on the grave and kept watch over it till
the pangs of hunger drove it in quest of
food. It trotted off into Paris, to the
kitchen of one of Montdidier's most in
innate friends, where it was well known,
and kindly received. Food was offered
it, and when the animal had satisfied its
hunger, it set off again for its masters
grave in the forest Of Bondy. Next
day the same conduct was repeated,
and for several days afterward.
At last the curiosity of one of the SER
wants who fed the dog was aroused as to
the cause of his daily visits, and he re-
solved to follow it. He traced it to the
forest, and saw it lie down on spot
where the earth appeared to have been
recently disturbed. The dog, seeing the
man approach, began to howl in melan-
choly way, as though it were trying to
inspire pity. The appearance of the
ground and the dogs singular conduct
led to search being made, when the
body of Montdidier was discovered. The
dog subsequently, attached itself to the
owner of the kitchen where it had gone
daily for food; and it was noticed that
every time it met Macaire, who moved
in the same society as his new master,
it flew at him, and would have worried
him, if it had not been pulled away by
those who were at hand. This behavior
of the dog caused some suspicion tt
grow up against Macaire. Charles ".
hearing Of the matter, wished to inquire
into the truth of it, and gave orders tina
Macaire and the dog should both com,
before him. Immediately the dog say
Macaire it again flew at him with its &C
customed fury. The King severely ques
toned Macaire as to what he knew O
Montdidier's death, and exhorted him Ii
tell the truth. Macaire denied al
knowledge of it. Charles then decree
that Macaire and the dog should meet il

A PARROTS GRIEF.
The Curious Phenomenon Observed in An
Intelligent Bird.


In the Revue Scienttfque, M. de La
caze-Duthiers describes curious phe-
nomenon which he has observed in a
parrot belonging to him. The bird is
very intelligent, having an excellent
memory for his friends and his enemies;
of this trait and other marks of intelli-
gence the writer gives several instances.
The point of the article, however, is
this: The parrot has manifested an ex-
traordinary affection for a little boy
named Raymond, but usually called by
the Southern diminutive, "Momon. !"
The child called M. Duthier's attention
one day to the fact that whenever he
played with the bird, the eyes of the lat
ter became quite red. When the boy
went away the parrot would call out his
name perpetually; when he returned, it
would walk to and fro on its perch, ex-
hibiting every mark of extreme pleas
ure, and its eyes invariably grew red.
At such times it would allow no one,
however friendly, to approach the cage;
it would not eat its most favorite food.
When the boy hid himself for a mo-
ment, the eyes became yellow, but sud
denly reddened again when he reap
peared. This phenomenon was observed
only with this particular child, and with
no one else. When the boy went to
school, or when the bird was brought to
Paris from the country, it ceased CON-
pletely. eft is curious" concludes M.
Duthiers, .'to see phenomenon, regard
