origin Of a Popular Song.

The popular ballad, "Listen to the Mock
ing Bird" was written and first published In
1855, by Septimus Winner, Of Philadelphia,
under the nom dc plume Of "Alice Haw-
thorne,n his mothers maiden name. 1t was
suggested incidentally by listening to a col
ored man, Dick Milburn, known as whilst
ling Dick" who wandered about the city
whistling in imitation of hooking bird, at
the same time strumming an accompaniment
upon the guitar. Struck by his remarkable
performance as a warbler Mr.. W. said to
him one day, half In jest, "Dick, I'll write
you song for your mocking bird" The
compass of the colored mans voice was
hardly an octave, and, as will be observed,
the melody was made very simple, so as not
to be beyond his reach. The words, "Listen
to the Mocking Bird" which ran higher,
were to be spoken by him. not sung, except

A SEA CULTS FEATHER.


What did you give neS We stood together
On the wind swept headland above the sea,
And you stopped and lifted a sea CULTS feather,
That lay mid the blossoms Of purple heather
That was the gift that you gave to me.
All, more you gave me! Your gift Is lying
Before me now in this inland town,
I touch it and see the white birds flying
Far overhead, as the day Is dying;
hear the sound Of their nournful crying
As into the waves the SIN goes down.
see the rocks that the folk have christened
The "Paternosters," for well they know
How many a one IA vain hath listened
And said Our Father" with eyes that glistencd
For those that slept by the rocks of woe.
hear through the ether the dear larks singing
A vesper hymn ere the fall Of night,
As though an angel, while swiftly winging
His heavenward journey, abroad were finging
A strange sweet music, awhile thus bringing
Our earth more near to the land of light.
The feather falls from my feeble fingers
The fair green island no more see,
Yet the thought of 1t still in my spirit fingers.
AS the echo Of songs by tse sweetest singers,
So the thought of its beauty stays with me.

ONLY HIS SISTER.

One moonlight night, long, long ago,
Within my memory fingers;
Well recall her answers low.
The clasp Of slender fingers.
der hand lay lightly on my arm
AS home we slowly wandered,
While the secret Of her charm
Resistless. vainly pondered
That perfect night, her witching grace
Made provocation ample;
Ths moonbeams lovingly caressed tW face,
And set bad example.
Al last we reached her fathers gate
"And them" you say you kissed hers"
Oh, mol you're too precipitate,
You see, she was my sister.

Lifting the Hat.

Lifting the hat Is custom that had a mill
tary origin, it is said. In olden times soldiers
wore helmets TO protect their heads from as
saults by tho sword or battle axe, and to re-
move this head covering was to show con-
fidence in the man to whom the salute was
extended. No gentleman was expected to
split mans head open after this mark Of
trustfulness, though he was sometimes treach-
erous enough TO do so. To lift the hat grace.
fully is considerable of an requirement, re-
quiring long practice. There Is a man In
New York who has become such an adept NJ
1t that he can lift half a dozen hats at n time
II he can sneak into a hallway while the folks
are at dinner. Texas Siftings.

The last six months experience with air
brakes on freight trains has shown conclu-
sively that we must have less slack between
the cars, and that the master car builders

showing what it is worth. This opportunity
will arise from the fact that railway eompa-

on their freight trains in connection with a

Of the serious breakages to use some sort Of a
close connected coupler. Something must be
done to reduce the slack between cars or fast
