For the RECORD UNION
THEY SAY"

" They say = well, suppose they do, my friend,
Will it do any good to repeat the story?
win it bring us renown-any benefit derive?
Would it rebound to our honor or glory?
Would 1t bring to our lives any pleasure, l pray
To gossip ana talk about things that they say
There are some things in life that to us may look
dark,
While those who are closely related,
An explanation might give-obviate all re
marks,
If to them the affair were but stated;
Yet, tbs better by far TO ne er NEEDLE with those
Who wish not their personal affairs to disclose
find, in this world, as we journey along,
There are lives Ter which sorrow holds sway
There are hearts that have suffered the guiltless
of wrong
From that evil, pernicious they say
And yet, my kind friend, we can ne'er find the
they"
Tho rumor IS riie with the things that they
"They say" and the story is thoughtlessly
Regardless of the sorrow it may bring
To those that the mantle of charity should en-
fold
That would shield them from SANDERS vile
They say say is an arrow-a treacherous dart
lis the sting of a serpent-a blow in the dark.
Perchance there's some truth in the story they
tell
For, there is no one quite perfect you know
But, my friend, would ask is it not lust as well
Such tattle and gossip to forego?
You' 100, may have faults If they only were
known,
Then take my advice and leave others alone.

/ find two verses in l Cor. xv., So, 81,
where immortality is spoken Of They
read: For this corruptible must put on

Immortality. So when this corruptible
shall have put on interruption, and this
mortal shall have put on Immortality,

that Paul is proving the resurrection of
the dead, and that those who have fallen
asleep In Jesus shall then put on inmor-
tality. In l Tim. vi, Is, Is, read:
(which in his times he shall show who
is the blessed and only Potentate, the
King of kings, and Lord of lords, who only
hath Immortality dwelling in the light
which no man can approach unto: whom
no man hath seen, nor can see" This re-
fers to God alone, and distinctly declares
that He only hath Immortality" How,
then, can man set up any claim to possess
ing the same thing? II he seeks for it.

Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath |

A Little Girl on sparrows.

| was much interested in the English
sparrow discussion in the Audu5oa Maqa-
zine for February, and as we have great
many sparrows here at Ivystone, | thought
| would try to tell what we children have
found out about them. We call our home
lyystone, because we have ivy growing on
one side and one end of the house. This
ivy is infested with English sparrows, and
has been for years. 1t is no wonder
though, for they have three or four broods
in season, and four or FIVE young at a
time.
In Miss Lydia Very's letter she said
" that the sparrows ate the caterpillars,
and that they seldom see one now," but at
our house it is very different. We have
hundreds of sparrows and thousands of
caterpillars every year, and last year we
had more caterpillars than ever before.
The porch had great many on it all the
time, and within ten feet of the sparrows,
but they don't care bit. After while
the caterpillars became SO thick that my
sister (who dislikes caterpillars exceed
ingly) said she would gives us a cent for
every twenty-five we killed, and cousin of
mine earned nearly 81 in very short
time and the rest of us considerable,
though not as much. 1t was not from the
lack Of caterpillars, but rather from the
lack of perseverance. Moreover, we have
never seen a sparrow with worm in its
bill, so that fully agree with General
Spinner, that the sparrow is granivor-
GUS bird" The sparrows do drive away
our birds, for since the sparrows have
taken possession of our ivy, we have not
had any wrensor bluebirds to build around
the lawn, but they go out into the orchard
where the sparrows do not modest them so
much. In one case that knew of, some
wrens built in box that had been made
for them, but the sparrows drove them
away.
Perhaps the persons who are not friends
of the sparrow, and would like to get rid
of HIM, can do it in this way: Make a
dough of cornmeal, and feed it TO them
until they are used to it, and then put in
sugar of lead; one ounce to a quart of
dough. After the birds have eaten it,
they will fly away and never come back,
or, if they do you might put out some
more poison, and that will most likely
send them away forever.-C6r. Forest and
Stream

THE GAME OF 41oSDoN BRIDGE

In the reign of Edward II. there was
master" or keeper of London bridge,
whose duty it was to see that it was kept
in repair. This same keeper bought land
on the river Lee, near Strafford, from an
old and noble family Of the same name, of
Lee aud he was granted permission by
the King to collect tolls on Lee bridge Just
so long as London bridge should be kept
in perfect repair, and this greatly offended
the Lee family, who claimed an ancient
right of free passage across. At length,
however, in the year 1910, several arches of
London bridge were washed away, and
until they should be rebuilt no tolls could
be collected ON the Lee bridge. 1t was
probably in reference to this incident that
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-04-14
the rhyme was made, familiar to every
child in the land:
London bridge is broken down,
Dance over, my Lady Leel
London bridge is broken down
With q Cnv ladNa ~

London bridge is broken down
With gay ladyep'
This was the first stanza of yery ropu-
lar ballad, called "The Doleful Lament Of
London Bridge first printed in a curious
book called "Gammer Gnrton's Garland
or the Nursery Parnassus; \ Choice Coz
lection of Pretty Songs and Verses, for the
Amusement of Good little Children who
can neither Read nor Run"
On occasion Of this accident 20 the
bridge, Commissioners were appointed To
decide upon the hest way Of rebuilding it,
and they were SO long about il and had so
many disputes-some advising one thing
and some another. and each raising OBJ
Jeetions to what WIS proposed by the rest
that the people grew impatient, and
ridiculed the affair in some verses added
TO the original lines:
"How hail we build it UP again?
Dance over, my Lady Lee
How shall we build it up again?
With a gay layde
Build it up with silver and gold
Dance over, my Lady Lee
SILVER and GOLD will be stolen away
With gay layde -
And 50 on, proposing by turns brick,
Woo, straw and clay, until at last the Com
missioners decided on stone, when the
final stanza was added:
Build it up with stone SO strong
Dance over, my Lady Lee
HuZzai twill last for ages long
With gay ladyer'
An Englishman, writing in 1887, lust
one hundred years ago, to the Gealemen's |
magazine, says that he remembers when !
this ballad was sung by the children of |
London and Bristol in their street play on !
moonlight summer nights They would !
move round in a circle with Joined hands, !
while one posted in the center, and called |
& the Bridge Master" would chant the I
inquiry, How shall we build it up again pr |
at the same time drawing out one from the
circle, whose duty it was to chant the re-
ply, naming any material he chose, the !
rest joining in the refrain If any mis- !
takes were made in mentioning materials |
not suitable for bridge-bui!ding forfeit |
would be incurred and the culprit chased |
around the circle until caught, when he |
turn became Bridge Master. 1t was a |
merry game, and the chiIdren's voices |
chanting in perfect time, sounded very /
sweetly on the still evening air-Susa1 /
