HER MISSION.

She was only little woman Ills true.
And hers was common story:
She never had dreamed OF thing TO do
That would ED to fame or glory.
She could not paint and she could not sing.
And she could not write sonnet
She had not face that could lend grace
To stylish love OF Q bonnct.
She had not wealth and she knew not ease,
She never had travelled for pleasure.
She knew not the art 70 charm and please
In the realm OF social leisure.
And yet she deemed that her life was blest
In it, humble sphere Of duty.
Though only those who knew her best
Guessed halt Of its hidden beauty.
Tor hers was genius for little things.
The realm Of home TO brighten;
brings
Some force to cheer and tighten.
For comfort and order were hers TO command,
And the joys OF life seemed longer,
While childhood chung to her loving hand
And manhood. through her. grew stronger
And some who loved her were half afraid
That her sphere was far too small;
But oh /! the happy home she made
Was great thing after all
And when her beauieous spirit shall Zee
From its realm OF loving and giving
Her stainless monument shall be
Tho lives that were blest BY her living.

The Conclusive Testimonies Given by n
Bird and Dog.
OF course you know what a witness
Is. 1t is one who gives testimony in a
law court. Perhaps you do not know
what testimony is; it is telling care
fully all you know about certain thing.
1t is the business OF lawyer to draw
out all you know. and sometimes their
questions are very confusing, and make
a witness contradict what he has said
previously. Long since there was a
witness in court in Savannah. Ga. !,
whose testimony was SO conclusive that
it was not questioned. 1t was before
the days OF steamships. A gentleman
owned a beautiful mocking-bird, OF
which he was very fond. The bird was
stolen. Every effort was made to find
it; it could not be found. At last the
gentleman heard that q Northern Wis.,
itor, who had been in the city all win
ter. was returning North with re.
markable mocking-bird. He hurried
off to the sailing vessel. and there
found gentleman with hooking
bird which he recognized at
once as his lost bird. The new
owner would not accept the
claim. but finally it was ar
ranged that the gentleman claiming
the bird should make complaint be-
fore magistrate and prove that the
bird was his. When in the presence
Of the magistrate. the gentleman claim
ing the bird said that he would whistle
an air. and If the bird took it up and
followed him that should be convinc-
ing evidence. All agreed to the test
The gentleman began to whistle st.

moment, took up the air, and finished
it. The magistrate tho 'ght that set
tied the question Of ownership, and the
bird was given up. 1t is said that the
Northerner offered 1000 for the bird,
but it was refused.
Recently a dog was a witness in an
English courtroom. A soldier claimed
q dog which the last owner refused ia
give up The soldier appealed to the
courts. When the case was called. the
soldier said that il the dog did not un-
derstand the Hindustan language then
he would not claim him. The dog was
brought into the courtroom. in which

was in the witness-box. He spoke a

Zouaves with Dry Straw Sent Out to De-

Algeria is suffering from plague Of
locusts, and from cyclones. Some interest
ing details are supplied by the Paris cor
respondent of the London Daily Ne,os. A
hundred Zouaves have been sent with dry
straw to Aumale to destroy the invading
insects. They make waron them by spread
ing the straw on the ground where the in
sects alight, and setting 1t on fire. At
Setif 795 soldiers are engaged IN this work,
and colonists and agricultural laborers are
being requisitioned to help them. At Sed
rata long line of fires was kept up to pre-
vent the invasion, but the fuel was exhaust
ed before the mass of invaders, which had
an uDbroken front of six miles. The Gov

lies in their power to drive back this enc
