"CRANDFATHER."

"Grandfather" is the name of an old
parrot, owned by Mr.. W. Il. Seward, Jr,
of New York. This parrot has been a
great traveller in his day, but now lives
quiet at his home on the Hudson river.
His master is very fond of him, and so
are all the family; and he is the pet of all
visitors who go to the house.
Several years ago, when there was
dreadful war in our beloved country, Mr..
Seward lived in Washington, where his
father then held the officeof Secretary of
State.
AT that time the "John Brown Song"
was all the rage. The very boys in the
street would sing, as they went along,
"John Browns body lies moldering in
the grave" and othe lines, ending with
the chorus, GLORY, hallelujahr'
"Grandfather" would listen and try to
sing it; but all he could learn was the
"Glory, hallelujahP' which amused the
family very much. After awhile he
seemed to forget even this, although he
learned many new things.
Many years passed. Mr.. Seward had
gone to his home on the Hudson river.
The war was over, and the old campaign
song of "John Brown" had passed out of
the peoples minds.
The aunt of Mr.. Seward, who had lived
with him in Washington and had not
seen The parrot since, came to make the
family visit; and in asking after the
health of all of them, said: "Don't tell
Grandfather I've come; I want to see if
he will remember me-" Then she went
into the room where the parrots cage
hung, and going up to it, said, "Good-
morning, Grandfather How do you do?
Do you know me?"
"Glory, halleluiah!' said he.-Ihe

"Oh, 1 suppose they aren't altogether

bonnet from Paris, with three humming
birds ON it," said the girl in the plain
turban.
"Now that's downright wicked" cried
the girl with the birds on her hat. ST
one has pretty old hat, with birds on it,
and it's becoming, should think one
might be forgiven for wearing it; but to
buy a new bonnet with humming birds,
of all birds, on it, is simply inhuman."

JENNY LINDA AND THE CHILDREN.

JENNY LIND AND THE CHILDREN.
She was, when in spirits, all alive with
play and fun; she had a delicious, merry
laugh; and she could bubble with dane
ing delight. At such times as her Christ
mas tree parties for her children and
friends her merriment would be ire
pressible. I still see her humping out
the Swedish Dance" at the piano for
us; smiling with JOY at the emphatic
rhythm of stamping feet; and then
springing up to dance herself, with all
the brisk bright playtulness Of a child;
and I am reminded OF her making, on
such an evening, the tallest man in the
room, now judge, dance round with the
tiniest little girl; and how, in pause she
came up suddenly to friend, saying,
"Now will dance with your and few
round in a vRlse herself. Her figure,
though angular, was singularly full of
grace and motion, and she danced beau
tifully. And how tenderly, on that eS en-
ing, she marked a little deaf and dumb
boy, and led him up, first of all the chill
dren to the tree, to choose his present,
and danced with him herself, and devoted
herself to making the evening happy
one for him. And one occasion remains
ever in my memory, whan she played the
part of a maid in some children's theat-
ricals at her own house at Wimbledon. I
understood, then, the charm that must
have been in her acting in old days. 1t
was a little part, but how she made it
tell She had to show the sympathy Of
the domestic household with the little
lovers, who were coming together in the
front scene. And how she danced and
brimmed with JOY behind them, and filed
the room with merry hearted encourage
ment OF the pair, who, it must be con-
tessed, were a little timid and shy of each
otherl Or again, in later days, it was de-.
lightful to find her in the country under
Surrey hills, with her daughters chill
dren, to whom she was devoted; wrapped
in some strange-colored shawl, with a
large yellow straw hat Tapping abouth her
face, greeting one with both hands, step
ping forward with feet that almost
danced, and with all sorts OF dramatic
fun in her eyes and in her notions

THREE LOVERS OF THE POOR.

ANDREWS.


ANDREWS.
Three Massachusetts women, who have
lately died, SO we'll deserved the epithet
which, as Dryden says, the Incas of Peru
valued above all their more august titles
Lovers of the Poor"-that their men,
ory may we'll be celebrated, while the
loss OF their presence is recent, and be-
fore the wave of forgetfulness that closes
over most mortal lives has effaced their
names from the sands of time,-written,
as their virtues attest, in more durable
record above. Mics Dix, Miss Collins and
Miss Andrews, in very different ways and
with characters widely varying from one
another, had yet this common attribute,
that the sufferings of the most helpless
appealed to them with resistless force,
and commanded their pity and their aid.
Miss Dix was of the elder generation, to
which belonged DIR. Howe, Horace Mann,
and Theodore Lyman, all eminent phil
anthropists, and she adhered to her cho.
sen work with fixedness OF mind which,
for various reasons, they never displayed
Her clients we're the insane; and particu-
larly the hopeless and neglected insane
in almshouses and sheds and cellars, in
chains and cribs, who, half century ago,
when she took up her mission, were pro-
portionstely much more numerous than
now, when the disclosure of letters and
the whip in remote towns like Prescott
and Sandisfeld, shocks the sensibility OF
all Massachusetts. Such abuses, due
chiefly to ignorance, were common here
before 1850, and were common until
within ten years in other parts of the
United States. Miss Dix for thirty years
unspsringly opposed them, and skilfully
aided or set on foot legislative and adj
ministrative measures to prevent them
She was not alone in this, by any means,
for hundreds in this country and abroad
were doing the same thing,-but perhaps
none of these accomplished more by
their own resources than Miss Dix did.
She was a woman of strong will and firm
ly nodded intelligence, which in the first

1t is not to sweep the house, make the
bed, darn the socks, and cook the meals,
chiefly, that man wants wife. IL this
is all he needs, hired help can do it cheap
or than a wife. If this is all, when
young man calls to see lady, send him
into the pantry to taste the bread and
cake she has made; send him to inspect
the needle-work and bed making, or put
broom in her hand and send him to wit
ness its use. Such things are import
ant, and the wise young man will quick
ly look after them. But what the true
man wants with wife is her companion
ship, sympathy, and love. The way of
life has many dreary places in it, man
needs wife to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken by misfortunes; he
meets with failure and defeat; trials and
temptations beset him, and he needs one
to stand by and sympathise. Hehss some
hard battles to fight with poverty, enemies
and sin, and he needs woman that,
when he puts his arm around her, he
feels that he has something to fight for;
she will help him to fight; that will put
her lips to his ear and whisper words of
counsel, and her hand to his heart and i'm
part inspiration. All through life, through
storm and through sunshine, conflict and
victory, through adverse and through
favoring winds, man needs woman's
