Instead of replying she shook her head

The Australian Lyre-Bird.

We were just in the middle of
TRAMP, tramp when a long, clear
whistle. with crack like a pistol
shot at the end, stopped us short. Git
ting down on the roadside we listened,
and soon the whistle began again; then
followed the most exquisite mi1nicry of
many of the songsters OF the wood,
varied by sounds resembling the clear
tones of a distant bell, the rattle of a
rickety wagon, raspings and gratings
that made the cold chills run down
ones back, whispers, moans, cries
and laughter | clearly distinguished
the course laugh Of the giant king
fisher, the cooling of the dove, the call
of the black and white shike, the song
of the rusty backed thrush, the scream
of the hawk, and the hoarse screech-
ing of the cockatoo. Sometimes the
song. with a volume like a large organ
was loud and sweet. and it seemed as
if the musicians must be within a
stones throw, then again it died away
to the faintest whisper. There was a
mellow richness in parts that reminded
me of the liquid notes of the clario-
net. We sat spellbound until the
song had ceased. / have heard most
of our American songsters, and some
of them are very fine, with voices rich
and mellow, but the moclzing-bird
himself can not compare with this
prince of songsters, the Australian
lyre-bird. Sherman r. Denton.

In l609, after traversing tho Hudson

the beautiful villas that one encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,

Again that cold horror swept over me and
the match burning out left me in gloom

Great heavens! it was Uncle Tim himself;
but why so soundly sleeping? Drunk, I
thought, remembering his habits.
But no; staggered back IN terror, and
reeled into a scat near a small table. He
was dead! The staring, sightless eyes told
me that
What else, what more in this once sun

1t was a sealed envelope, addressed to

to my relief; rose and left tho Hall Find

them the letter from my aunt, which they
recognized Immediately as in her hand

At Ballynook pointed out the note lying
on the table.
''Yes," said one; 1--WE saw lady here

tragedy, and in due time received an an
swer to my letter, but in strange chirog-
raphy, saying that <Mrs. Malone died very
suddenly Of heart disease on the evening of

My heart stood still; that was the same
night hal seen her at the HALL
"Such wreck of life," said, bitterly, as

Malone.
The place fell to me; but never go near
it, for it savors Of crime. The ivy has
over-run the whole building now, a.&
from distance, it presents romantic ex-
terror; but its story has gone abroad and
every one shuns the sin-darkened place.
The woman made good her escape, as no
trace of her could be found. Doubtless she
reached her native land; but the grave on

confession still remain at Ballynook as
silent witnesses of the tragedy.

Bromley, whose pate is rather bald, was
at the mirror in the conjugal dressing room
brushing the locks at his temple with hair
brush that had very little hair in it. Mrs
Bromley was watching him from a sofa
near by. Now Bromley has weakness for
conundrums, and so he facetiously asked:
.'Mrs. Bromley, why is this brush like my
head!"
KS expected her to say, because it is
sadly in need Of hair" and he would have
accepted that solution with commendable
patience; but, unfortunately, the conun-
drum, like the hair brush, had another side
to it, for she promptly replied

4 New Question IN Medical Jufis.
prudence

There Ia no scientific fact now better
established than that typhoid fever
breeds and muitipiies typhoid through
the contamination OF both town and dc
nestle water supplies. Upon the recog-
milton Of this fact a singular suit
has just been decided in the Eng
lish Court Of Queens Bench. A tenant
brought suit against hs landlord because
the house was in such an unsanitary con-
dition that hia two children and three
other inmates Of the house were taken
sick with typhoid fever. IL was claimed
that the drainage about the house was de-
fectivc ana the water contaminated and
that the fever was due to one or both of
that the drains had been laid under the
sanction of the public authorities but it
did not avail with the jury. which accepted
the fact that typhoid had broken out ~
conclusive proof that the landlord had
failed in his duty, and il gave IA verdict
for the plaintiff. The question which
grows out of this case il II landlord
whose drainage Is defective must pay for
loss of life. can u city which draws its
water fto,u n sewage laden source hope To
escape pe,uuiary responsibility il nm out
break Of typhoid fever should result.

An interesting fact Il shown BY the
railroad statistics Of the country - pub
iished by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which 30 far has been somewhat
overlooked by public economists. 1t ia
that wherever the local freight traffic Of
an operating railway has become the
chief source Of its revenue, the rates are
rot only actually lower, but the dividends
on capital are largest, safest and most
uniform. The Statistics In question cover
period Of about twenty years. and
show that the railroad which has during
that time devoted its energies to securing
through trunk management and long
haul, to the neglect Of local business,
has been the one which as suffered most
aud had under ir the most insecure foun-
dafiOn.
| On the other hand the figures indicate
| that those sections or divisions Of roads
which have suffered least In the demoral-
izarion of the railway traffic of the past
year, were those which had large local
of freight on the New England roads for
the year 1858, was sixty-two miles 10 the
Middle States IL was lightweight miles !;
throughout the Southwestern sections it
~as on. hundred and thirty eight, and on
the roads Of the great Northwest, one
hundred and eighty miles But while the
roads Obliged TO make the long haul Of
| freight have met with fearful losses, the
railroads Of the Eastern States or the
ort-haul lines, almost without exeep-
ton, and even in spite Of some adverse
conditions, have had the usual prosperity
throughout the year
Stated In brief, terse form, the lesson
Of these facts resolves itself into the fol-
lowing axiom that the secret Of per-
manent prosperity for any railroad ia the
devotion Of its capacities to the service Of
the communities through which il passes.
| This ia the secret Of the success Of Maine
railroads and the reasons for the building
Of new ones. Our State railways are
devoted To the furtberance of the local
business interests along their lines. The
facts are that whenever or wherever
any local community through its Board
Of Trade, or any organization Of capitalists,
has desired the cooperation Of the rail-
roads, or concessions on freight in order
to encourage the establishment Of
local manufacturing or other bust
ness interests or Industries IL
has always been granted. Instances Of
thi. kind are too numerous aud too IA
miIiar to be re-stated. This Ia business
measure, too, which acts as public bene-
fit in two ways the railroad is benefited
and the communities are built up. One
helps and contributes to the success Of
the other. 10 no section Of the country
have railroads been so successful during
the past year, a. IN New England; and in
II, section have manufacturers of various
kinds been more prosperous or given
greater attention to the enlargement Of
their works to meet the new demands upon
them
