BIRD WANDERERS.
Their Untirins Energy Inspires Q Poet to
 Sing in Their Praise.

Their Untiring Energy Inspires Q Poet to
 Sing in Their Praise.
 Every day we see playing round the ship and skimming up and down the wave hollow companies of lovely little terms and sea swallows, the latter no larger than thrushes. These fear less people of the air have not by any means followed us from the land, living, as gulls often will, on the waste thrown from the vessel. They are vague and casual roamers of the ocean, who, spy ing the great steamship from afar, have sailed close up to see if we are rock or an island, and will then skim away again on their own free and boundless business.
 Wonder timid bird, with purple and green plumage, his little breast and neck laced with silver, is distant at this moment one thousand miles from drop of fresh water, and yet cares no more for that fact than did the Irish squire who lived twelve miles from a lemon. If his wings ever grow weary it is but to settle quietly on the bosom of great pillow and suffer it for time to rock and roll him amid the hissing spindrift, the milky flying foam and the broken sea lace which forms and gleams and disappears again upon tho dark slopes. When he pleases a stroke of the small, red foot and beat of the wonderful wing launch him of from the jagged edge his pillow, and he fits past us at one hundred knots an hour, laughing steam and canvas to scorn, and steering for some nameless crag in Labrador or Fundy, or bound, it may be, homeward for some island or marsh of the far-away Irish coast.
 Marvelously expressive of power as is our untiring engine, which all day and all night throbs and pants and pulses in noisy rhythm under the deck, what clumsy, imperfect affair it is compared to the dainty plumes and delicate muscles which will carry that pretty, fearless sea swallow back to his roost!-Sir Edwin Arnold, in London Telegraph.

LAUGHS AT LOVERS.

"TnEsE are my household gods," he said to her as he entered his bachelor apartment. But you lack something, 3 she remarked. "What?" "A household goddess"
 THEY were rustic lovers and they were courting. "Don't sit so near me-" she exclaimed. "I ain't sitting near you" he declared. "Well, if you ain't you mean to-I know you do," she cried. And her fears were at once realized.
 ''WHY, Clara, you look radiant! What has happened?" live just received an invitation to wedding" Well, there's nothing particular in that to go into raptures over." "Yes, but it happens to be my own," and she showed the new engagement ring.
 A TASTEFUL young man escorted an equally bashful young lady. AS they approached the dwelling of the damsel, she said, entreatingly: ''Zekill, don't tell anybody you beau'd me home. 7" ''Sary," said he, emphatically, "don'J you mind; am as much ashamed of it as you are."
 A PHILADELPHIA bachelor has a large frame filled with photographs of young ladies, under each of which is pasted a newspaper clipping. With a pathetic accent the poor man exclaims: "They are pictures of the only girls I ever loved, and those clippings are their marriage notices"
 A YOUNG man got married without consulting his parents or friends. After seeing the bride, one of his friends asked him: ''How did you come to marry that girl? She has not got pretty face, her figure is not good, she is not rich, nei- ther is she intelligent. What did you find attractive about her?" "Well, you ought to see how prettily she sneezesr'
 A sPooNY couple in Paris hailed cabby, and the gentleman thus gave his directions: You will go up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe, then to the entrance of the Bois, and then-let me see-oh! then back again, but go very slowly all the time." Cabby took note of the pair and replied. touching his hat, respectfully: "All right, boss; only my horse is rather tired; if you don't mind, I'll just stand still"
 A YOUNG woman, on becoming en- gagged for a second time, was somewhat astonished at receiving from number two the identical ring she had returned to her first love. "Why, Charles" she said, ''this is the same ring I had when l was engaged to Harry" ''I know it, replied the young man. "Harry is an old friend of mine, and when he heard of our engagement he came round to congratulate me. and offered to sell me the ring for half cost.
