with the Dairy Maid Patience, to whom
love is sealed book, except the love o.
her old playmate Archibald Grosvenor
whom she has not seen for fifteen years
Lady Angela, Que Of the rapturous maid,

years and whom she now loves. They
confess their love, but in the midst ol
their happiness it occurs to Patience that
there can Ike no unselfishness in loving 50

part in despair. Bunthorne, heartbrokcIl
at Patience's refusal, by the advice ol
his solicitor puts himself up to be ratified

A Mother Kangaroo's Bravery.

A very pathetic story comes from Aus
tralia describing kangaroo's daring
for the sake of her young. The owner
of acountry station was sitting one even
ing on the balcony outside his house,
when he was surprised to notice a kan
garoo lingering about, alternately ap-
preaching and retiring from the house,
as though half in doubt and fear what to
do. At length she approached the water
pals, and, taking young one from her
pouch, held it to the water to drink.
While her baby was satisfying it's thirst,
the mother was quivering all over with
excitement, for she was only few feet
from the balcony on which one of her
great foes was sitting watching her.
The little one having finished drinking,
it was replaced in the pouch, and the
old kangaroo started off at rapid pace.
When the natural timidity of the kan.
garoo is taken into account, it will be
recognized what astonishing bravery
this affectionate mother betrayed. 1t
is pleasing ending to the story to be-
able to state that the eye witness was SO
affected by the scene that from that
time forward he could never shoot at a
kangaroo. oo.--Naturalist

WHITTIER's MoCKING-BIRD.
A Splendid Songster That Gladdened the
Poets Home for Years.


Poets Home for Years.
In bird store over on the west side a
few days ago l was much interested in
the efforts made by the proprietor of the
aviary to induce a prospective customer
to purchase a full-throated mocking-
bird.
The dubious patron objected that he
had heard that birds of that variety
never lived for more than five years,
that they often died within much
shorter period and that he was unwill-
ing to expend his money on songster
whose voice would be so soon hushed.
1t was in vain that the shopkeeper
argued that the tale of a mocking-bird's
years was much longer than was gen.
orally supposed, and that the fve-year
limit was mere superstitious fiction.
The preconccived notion was indestruc-
tible and the anticipated customer left
the shop unconvinced.
AS passed on l was reminded of an
incident related to me on the occasion
of visit to the poet Whittier at his
home at Oak Knoll little over a year
ago. 1t was the sage of Danver's eigh-
tieth birthday, and while he was re-
ceiving group of literary dignitaries
in his cosy parlor l was having de-
lightful chat with his charming little
eighteen-year-old niece, Phebe, in the
library.
Phebes love for the domestic pets is
only second to that for her uncle. and
it was with intense pride that she
exhibited tire great black cat, whom she
christened Rip Van Winkle in Joe JEFF
ferson's honor, and the mocking bird
whose songs in many keys are scarcely
less tuneful than those of the gray
bearded Quaker.
The cat and the bird are in perfect
accord, and together with the magnifi-
cent Newfoundland, who is always at
Mr.. Whittier's side, form, as Phebe says,
"a perfectly happy family of three. :"
GLOW old is hep" Phebe repeated, when
/ asked about the birds age, 80, he is
ever so many years ahead of me-" with
blush and laugh, and then she told
me of a visit paid to Oak Knoll some
time before by rather pretentious Bos-
ton gentleman, who had remarked as he
| entered the library, "Ah, | see you in
dulge in the luxury of mocking-bird.
Well, sir, mark my words, you'll not
| keep him long"
To this sage observation Mr.. Whittier
replied dryly: 'No, indeed, fear not.
He has been in the family for more than
twenty-five years now"
Whether that bird is still in the land
of the living is more than can tell but
the fact of the possibility of a mocking-
birds longevity is to my mind we'll es-
tablished, if only on bright-eyed Phebe's
authority.-N. Y. Herald.

BEHIND THE SCENES.

The poet sings of lovers bliss,
OF Heavenly smiles and rapturous kiss,
OF woman's beauty fair and sweet;
And VOWS that life is incomplete,
When forced by fate to dwell apart,
From her whose image fills his heart.
He raves Of eyes of every hue
OF golden brown and sapphire blue:
OF waving tresses touched with gold,
And glossy bands of ebon fold
OF graceful figures, tall petite;
OF glance demure, or smile SO sweet.
He tells each tale of joy and woe,
So tenderly, we feel glow
OF sympathy; our bosoms fill,
And hearts responsive beat and thrill,
And smouldering fires start up anew,
While doubling hearts for pardon sue.
We think of him whose gifted hand
Has penned these lines, and swift is famed
The hero worship in each soul.
And all his virtues we eXtoll,
And fancy clothes with every grace,
And manly beauty form and face.
Alas. when we the vail have torn
That hides the truth, our hero, shorn
OF all our fancy held SO fair,
Is just Il man, with head most bare,
And form too stout for early youth.
CTS not romantic, but the truth.)
And while within his cosy den,
He talks of love with Stubby pen,
While clouds of smoke around him soar,
No doubt he votes the whole bore
Nor would he leave his pipe and chair
For any maid, however fair.
-Cornelia w. Boyden, in Yankee Blade.
