THEIR MOTHER.

My boy sat looking straight into the Goals,
From his stool at my feet one day,
And the freight FURNISHED the curly head,
And painted the cheeks with dash Of red,
And frightened his very eyes, as he said,
In a most confidential way:
Mamma, l think, when I'm a grown up man,
shall have just two little boys"
Ismiled, he was ski but he did not see,
And | said, YES, how nice that will be!
But if one were a girl, it seems to me,
1t would add to your household joys"
''Well, yes" reflectvely, that would be nice,
And I'll tell you just what I'll do;
I'll name one Robbie, for me, you know"
Then the bright eyes shone with deeper glow,
"And there's just the two of us now, and so
I'll name the girl Annie, for you"
"But how would their mother like that?' asked
DO you think that she would agree
For us both to have names while she had none?"
With the mystified, puzzled look Of one
Wholly befogged, said my logical son,
Their mother Why, who is sheH'

JIorayian Marriages.

Mr.. Blood of Bethlehem, Pa, told of
tragedy in real life which occurred recently
in Q Moravian settlement near the town
named One of the many curious customs
of that strange sect is to marry off the young
people by lot OF course it is not to be ex-
pected that young couple shutiled together
in this mechanical way will always feel the
Romeo-Juliet degree of passion. In order to
be generous, therefore, the Moravian intel
lectual ancestors made it rule that both
the young woman and the young man should
have the right to refuse, once, the helpmeet
drawn in the lottery of love. In the present
case a young girl was first allotted to mid
die aged sutton who had been waiting for
years to see his name drawn from the wheel.
She could not reconcile herself to his phys
ical deficiencies and exercised her right to
withdraw The rejected sutton sought re-
venge by refusing another young woman
who had been assigned to him, and in the
meantime the heroine of this story had her
self been refused The two names were
thereupon thrown back into the wheel, and
after several months some strange freak OF
fate brought the two names out together
again. Neither could refuse to wed this time
and the unfortunate girl, rather than be tied
for life with unwelcome bonds, jumped into
the Bethlehem mill pond and drowned her
self. The mourning bridegroom, says Mr.
Blood, is now wandering disconsolately about
the village waiting for another bride.-New

Barrett,s Chance Acquaintance.

had a shat with Mr. Lawrence Barrett
recently about the interesting incidents in his
travels about the country. One OF the most
memorable he told me happened some years
ago on board a train when he was on his way
to Richmond, Va.
While he was yet some hours distant from
Richmond two gentlemen entered the car
and occupied the seat Immediately behind
him. One of them was of striking appear
ance, who was addressed by several persons
in the car as General"
"For more than an hour" said Mr.. Bar
rett, II listened to that mans conversation,
addressed to his friend. He talked rapidly
and poured out information on all sorts OF
topics in a manner that was completely
amazing. Presently his companion left and
he lapsed into silence.
"As we sped along | cudgeled my brain for
some means to draw him into conversation.
We were rushing across one OF those barren
stretches occasionally seen in the south, and
turned and asked him if there was much OF
such desolate land in that section. He an
swered my question, and gradually the con-
verSation grew lveller. never passed sucn
day in my life. The information of the
man was simply stupendous, and it was
poured out like some mighty torrent, while
listened, fascinated and amazed
when we neared Richmond he told me
that he would go that night to the theatre to
see Mr.. Barrett: in Richelieu He also added
that he had never seen the actor.
After he had gone found out who my
eloquent companion had been. He was Gen.
Robert Toombs."
That night, as Mr.. Barrett in the character
of Richelieu was called before the curtain,
Gen. Toombs, who was seated in the stage
box with party of friends, leaned forward
eagerly, shaking his finger at the actor, ex-
claiming. And so it was youI"-New York

A correspondent of the New Orleans
PicIyuHe says that an ingenious agricul-
tural person who lives not very far from
Boston has hit upon new and decidedly
profitable industry. There has recently
arisen demand for crows heads, hith-
erto deemed valueless, and it is his pur-
pose to supply it. Ten cents apiece the
county authorities have offered for the
crania of these interesting birds, from
whose destructive propensities the far
mers' crops have been suffering seriously
of late years. Under ordinary circum-
stan es this bounty would not leave a
very large margin of profit for the re-
cipient. 1t costs something, you see, to
kill crow. There is the ammunition,
in the first place, which is expensive,
and one cannot count upon Staying even
o single -feathered fowl for each
charge of shot and powder. Besides,
the sportsman's time must be reckoned
in the count. But the enterprising
speculator above referred to has devised
a scheme by which a maximum percent
age Of gain is to be secured without
any risk worth speaking of. He has set
up a chicken incubator of the most i'm
proved pattern, in which is placed as
fast as it is laid the product of about one
hundred hen-crows that have been
trapped and confined, in company with
perhaps a dozen cock-crows. Within
fifteen days the little creatures are
hatched, and fortnight later they are
ready to be decapitated. For be it uu-
derstood, the head of a crow chick is
worth Just as much as that of an adult of
the species. AT the uniform rate of ten
for dollar, dead, they pay the pro-
ducer excellently. In the way of food,
while alive, the stock requires very
little, yielding, under the circumstances
described, constant supply of eggs
during eight months of the year. 1t is
this prolific quality of the crow that has
rendered it Objectionable from the agri.
cultural point of view Since the county
was so anxious to obtain crows heads,
it must be considered fortunate that the
ingenious gentleman in question should
have been able to ill the requisition so
satisfactorily. Then, too, the feathers
have been salable for mourning hats, and
occasionally the carcasseS have found a
market W tn the friends of defeated poll
ticians.
