SPARROWS KNOW A THING OR
TWO.

In Boston the sparrows know a
thing or two. A lady writes that,
being attracted by their noisy chatter
ing, she watched their motions and
saw a flock of them take turns in
carrying a soda biscuit till they dopped
it plump On the iron track of the
street railroad. Then they all flew
away and waited till a cal passed over
the cracker and ground 1t to crumbs,
~whereupon the whole flock swooped
down and made a good breakfast.
Some people advise poisoning the
sparrows. 1t is very dangerous.
Other birds or animals may eat the
poison, or the poisoned sparrows. 1t
would not be surprising at any time to
find a string of poisoned sparrows in
the market.

A PRETTY WORD PICTURE.

1t was twelve years last Friday
night since we and the little woman
up yonder on the hill plighted our
troth. Those dozen years have brought
with them burdens and blessings, and
the latter outweigh the former. Four
lovely children cluster about the roof
tree and kneel night and morning
around the family altar, and life is
brighter and happier because of their
presence. Love beams brightly in
every eye, and sweet winged peace sits
day by day on the doorstep. Time
has wrought her changes, and the
bride of eighteen has become the ma
iron of thirty-one: but growing fonder
and dearer every moment. Husband
and father has not been all that he
might have been, but wife and mother
and children could find no one to take
his place in their hearts. No turkey
graced the board of the anniversary,
no dainty feast was spread. Nothing
save a table for six and plain, home
fare, and bright eyes, chubby faces,
dimpled cheeks and hands, kisses and
love words, together with sincere trust
in God for all time What grander
bill of fare could be furnished for any
wedding anniversary? God bless all
husbands and wives and children and
homes! This is our anniversary all
the-year-round prayer.--Farm and
FSresade.

A FIEND.

A big man stood on the real plat
form of a Fort street a with the con
ductor yesterday afternoon, when a
small man with a big umbrella got on.
1t was raining. There was no doubt
about it. 1t was a dark, gloomy day.
There was no doubt about that. And
yet the small man shook the wet off
his umbrella, and moved nearer the
big man and said:
"Rainy day |"
The big man looked down upon
him with an amazed expression of
countenance, and made no reply.
"Dismal, isn't it ?" continued the
small man.
The big mar glared at him in a
stony way, and in this was assisted by
the conductor.
"Shouldn't wonder if it would rain
all day." persisted the little man.
The big man opened his mouth as if
about to reply, but on second thought
closed it again.

after a pause.

Mollie CHATS my wife) and I got along
together for twenty years, seeming we
are just as happy now as we were the
first year. We were not in a hurry to
get married, but kept company until
we knew we were suited for each
other. Then after we we're married
we did not think that as we were
settled down there was no need of
dressing up SO as to be attractive to
each other, and SO gong about slip
shod and dirty from our work through
the evenings; but Mollie, as soon as
her homework was out of the way,
would change her work-dress for a
neat wrapper or evening dress, and
always appeared at the supper table,
lookining as sweet and attractive as
when I went a dozen miles over hills
and drifts to take her out for a drive,
or spend a few hours in her company;
while l, as soon as I reached home,
changed my business suit for a light
worsted one. No, | did not wear a
dressing gown, for it was too awkward
to suit my fancy. After supper 1
would wipe the dishes for Mollie, and
then we would go for a walk or drive
if it was summer time and pleasant.

room, and sing, read Or play some

Some of my boys had got into the
habit of shooting birds with hippers,
and last week, two or three of these
little feathered creatures, still warm,
were brought to me dead, by a little
girl, who, with tears in her eyes, laid
them on my desk. The next day a
boy brought me a handsome little red
breast, apparently shot in the same
manner after looking at it for a mo-
ment, and thinking how cruel it was
to destroy such poor harmless Great
ures, l gave it back to him, deter
mined to make a strong appeal to the
boys. I had hardly sent him away,
when one of the girls came weeping
and in great distress to say that she
had lost a bird from her hat, and that
n of the boys had got it I was not
a little serprised, and Immediately sent
for the boy and bird. He pulled it
out of his trousers pocket, into which
it seemed a tight fit, and to the
mingled joy and fear of the expectant
maiden, presented it to her. But oh
horror it was full of blood and mat
ted feathers it's head and wings
dropped deadlike and its whole appear
nce soon convinced her that this
was not her robin, and she went away
sorrowful.
Then [ thought, wherein is the diff
ference between the cruelty Of boys
and that Of girls The boys destroy
life for fun and the girls for show ! O
girls you who are thought to be pitt
full and tender-hearted, have mercy
upon these poor little innocent Great
ures, who adorn Gods creation much
better where they are, than on your
hats !-Home Journal.

THEsEUS AND THE STONE.

o p. TROwBRIDGE
Go, lift the stone, my noble son,
TIL Grecian princess cried;
And bring to me what there may be
Concealed beneath its side.
The boy obeyed, and boldly made
The effort to upcast
The wondrous weight that lay, so great,
Embedded firm and fast.
But all in vain his might and main,
No conquest could he win;
The stone that day mistaken lay,
And held its prize within.
Then Theseus smiled as any child
His mothers words to hear;
1.-THE gods wait long, but they are strong,
So try another year"
The year went round; the stone was found
The same as 1t had lain;
But, as before, it now once more
Poor Theseus tried in vain.
And then he saw that he must draw
New force for arm and limb
If he would do the deed so true
And gain the prize within.
He shot the bow, he struck the blow
Against the false and bad,
Till, half in dread, the people said,
1.-The gods are with the lad"
And so at length in all his strength
He graPpled with the stone;
He tugged and swayed, he pulled and prayed,
Till, 10, the deed was done.
And underneath, held in its sheath,
He found a brazen sword;
And sandals there a golden pair,
Had been securely stored.
Meath duties done for every one
LIES trophies still appear.

So try another year"

for Middle Bass island, where two weeks of

enjoyed his usual Sunday quietness,
although there were some callers, but
none OF any special note. During
the afternoon he drove out into the country.

to visit him, as dates have already been asked
for by people representing counties in this and

that were to have been here

until September. The General, at a recent

Another Indication Of the direction Of the Do.

from Mr.. s. G. Hubbard, q salesman in the en-
ploye of II. B. Ciahin g. Co., who, in July last.

with General Harrison. The circular contains
the names OF 3l7 men employed by this big firm,
who will vote in November for Harrison, Nor.
ton and protection. Since the list was made
Mr.. Hubbard said additional names have been
added. and the list now numbers 325 and is con-
stantly growing. Ofths members thus enrolled

The Democrats in the House attacked Hsrri-

great deal Of noise yesterday. The foundation
OF ths Indictment is. as was stated by himself.
that he was slow to give up the old idea that
this country is the refuge for the poor and OBJ
pressed OF all nations. In the same week the
Democratic chairman. at New York, tried to fix
upon the Republican ticket the odium of an in
dorsement by a party that is opposed to foreign
immigration. It thus seems as il the Demo
cratic theory is that their opponent is guilty
both Of sympathy with know-nothingism and Of
