The Feathered Gardener.

One day in September, 1878, the
owner of some pleasant English pas
lures that are much frequented by lap
wings was walking home across
turnip-field, musing on the cares of
his estate, when he was disturbed
from his reverie by the cries of an over
anxious mother, who kept flying round
his head and almost tapping his face.
Poor foolish Bird she did not know
that her attack was made upon an old
student Of the habits of her race; and
her anxiety at once betrayed to him
that she had got a little one close by
whom she wanted to conceal. The
gentleman was surprised, as it was late
in the year for any lapwings to be
young enough to need protection from
their mothers. However, he stuck his
heel into the ground, in order to mark
the spot wherein the language of the
old game of Magic Music ''-the bird
had shown him that he was every
hot" and he searched carefully in a
circle all round the place. Very soon,
covering under the leaves of turnip,
he found the object that he was looking
fora trembling little lapwing, about
three-quarters fledged. How it hap
pened to be such late one it is i'm
possible to say, but it evidently was the
mothers youngest favorite. She fol-
lowed the gentleman for more than
mile as he carried it home in his hand
kerchief, pleading for its release by
every means in her power, but it was
of no avail. The capturer knew what
he was about, and had not taken the
bird either out of cruelty or thought
lessness. He was well aware that lap
wings live on grubs and slugs, and are
most useful inhabitants in garden;
and he wanted this one to superintend
his vegetables. So he took it, pinioned
one wing that it might not escape, and
then established it in his large garden,
with plenty of water-troughs at hand
and strict orders that the gardener
should respect it as a useful member of
the establishment. There were no less
than five cats who also frequented the
garden; but they were kept in as good
order as the gardener, and never at
tempted to vary their dinners of mice
with second course of lapwing. In
cold weather, when slugs were frozen
and grubs failed, the lapwing was fed
from his masters kitchen; and in De-
cember, 1880, he was still alive and
well. The only thing to be wished is
that the poor mother could have been
told to what a Fools Paradise her son
had been translated

the conclusion of this short speech.
The bidding began. Mr.. and Mrs.
James Fitzroy stood in the corner un-
noticed, breathless with suppressed ex-
element. No one needed them. They
again played second fiddle to their own
property.
Five hundred pounds was the first
bid for the pair. A cheer emphasized
the spirited start. A cool thousand
was, however, soon reached. Then
there was pause amid silence which
could be felt and almost heard. Only
three bidders were left in. Every one
understood that they were gathering up
their forces for the final conflict.
1T is against you, my lord" the
auctioneer remarked, quietly.
The hint was taken, and the bidding
began again. Fifteen hundred gum

The hammer falls. The crowd cheers.

hundred pounds. Mrs. Fitzroy marks
her appreciation of the gravity of the
situation and her own good luck in true
feminine fashion by promptly fainting.

to be perfectly true.-L0ndOn World.

Bears at School.

Lee was very fond of pets, and he
had two of which | think most of our
little ones would be afraid Two young
bears! Were they not odd pets? But
Lee loved them and taught them many
tricks. In their rough way they were
fond of him, too. One day, by some
means, the bears got away from home.
They wandered down road until they
came to school-house. 1t was the
time for recess, and all the children
were out at play. The bears trotted up,
and wanted to play too; but the chill
dren were afraid of the brown, clumsy
looking creatures. So all the boys and
girls ran screaming into the school
house. The bears went in too, for the
children in their fright forgot to shut
the door. Then there was a great
jumping on desks and tables. But
when the bears found out that the chill
dren would not have them for playfel-
lows they walked quietly around the
school-room, to see what kind of a
place it was. They poked their noses
under the benches and into the corners,
until they found where the dinner
pals and baskets were kept. Then
they began to enjoy themselves very
much. Bread and butter, cake, pies
and apples tasted very good, after the
bears long walk, and they held bottles
of milk in their paws and took long
drinks. There was a great deal of
noise and confusion before the teacher
and older scholars could put those bears
out of school. And when Lee got his
pets safely home he took care that
they should not attend school again.
But the bears were very much pleased
with their morning at hool.-Lucy II.

The Boy for Me.

His cap Is old, but his hair is gold
And his face is as clear as the sky
And whoever he meets, on lanes or Streets
lie looks them straight in the eye
with a fearless pride that has naught to hide,
Though he bows like a little knight,
Quite debonair, to n lady fair,
with a smile that is swift and light
Does his mother call? Not a kite or ball,
Or the prettlest game stay
His eager feet as he hastens to greet
Whatever she means to say.
And the teachers depend on the little friend
AT school in his place at nine,
with his lessons learned and his good marks earned
All ready to toe the line.
l wonder If you have seen him. too,
This boy who is not too big
For a morning kiss from mother and sis
Who isn't bit of prig,
But gentle and strong, and the whole day long
As happy as happy can be,
A gentleman, dears, in the coming years
And at present the boy for me? Unidentified.

Aside life's curtain and looked through
The mists OF all lifes mystery,
As from a wood to open sea.
The soft wide eyes of wonderment,
That trusting looked you through and through
The sweet, arched mouth, n bow not bent,
That sent loves arrow swift and true.
That sweet, arched mouth The Orient
Hath not such pearls in all her stores
Not all her stored spice set shores
Hath fragrance such as 1t hath spent.

How rare is truth to he untrue
AS one who knew the awful sign
OF death, of life, of the divine
Sweet pity of all loves, all hates
Beneath the iron-footed fates.

And olive leaves and vne-set land,
While strife stood by on either hand
And wrung the tears like rosaries.
picture her in passing rhyme,
As of yet not part of these
A weman born above her time,
woman waiting in her place,
with patient pity on her face.
Her face, her earnest baby face;
Her young face uncommon wise
The tender love-light in her eyes
Two stars of heaven out of place.
Two stars that sang rs stars of gold
Their silent eloquence of song,
In skies of glory and of gold
Where God in purple passed along
That patient, baby face of hers
That won a thousand wOrshipers!
That silent pleading face, among
Ten thousand faces just the one,
still shall love when all is done
And life lies by harp unstrung.
