swalloms and Arows.

Among the courageous small birds may
be counted the family of swallows. The
writer has often seen barn swallows fly
downward and peck at the cat and dog,
and more than once sharp twitter, a
whir of wings and a peck on the hat has
reminded her, when standing in the barn
door, that she was intruding on swal-
lows precincts.
About a half mile from the house is a
high bank which is the home of colony
of bank swallows The earth for some
distance is thickly perforated with the
toundish holes leading into their nests.
Not far from this bank quantity of
corn was one day scattered by accident
upon the ground. The crows were quick
to discover what had happened, and
swooped down and began to devour the
windfall.
Some of the swallows spied them at
once and gave the alarm. CHANGED to
be sitting beneath tree in full view of
the scene. In less than a minute after
the crows had settled to feeding, mora
than a hundred of the bank swallows
had darted from their holes, and with
angry twitters fell upon the intruders.
The attack was complete surprise to
the big black fellows, and as if realizing
the futility of trying to cope with their
small assailants, they rose from the
ground in a body and took fight.
The swallows pursued them, darting,
diving, striking at them above, below and
from both sides. The crows were routed
completely, and took refuge in dense
piece of woods quarter of mile away.
Then the triumphant swallows turned
about and sailed homeward, uttering
many chirps and twitters of satisfaction
as they flew.
For the hour or more that I remained
in the field not crow was to be seen
near the corn The swallows were mas
ters of the field.-Cor. Youths Compan-

A Woman Bank Director.

Perhaps the first instance in which a
woman has been chosen bank director
in America was when last week Miss
Emily Rowland, of Sherwood. was
elected a member of the board of direc-
tors of the First National of Auburn,
N. Y. The controller says he "knows
of no objection to woman serving as
a director if qualified. Miss Rowland
has very interesting personal life.
She is woman of wealth and great in
telligence, has travelled extensively and
has always managed her own business
affairs. Previous to the war Miss How
land, with Miss (now Dr. Soaring, of
Rochester, successfully established and
carried on school for colored children
at Washington, and during the war
they ran a similar school in Virginia.
At the close of the war they devoted
themselves to the work of getting de-
serving colored families North. In the
day of 'the underground passage" to
Canada many negro found helping
hand stretched forth by Miss Rowland
or by her father. At her own expense,
a few years ago, she built and is now
sustaining at her own home thorough
ly equipped high school for farmers
sons and daughters.

Or, you have sweet voice and a
talent for music? Do not keep them
for display, that they may bring you
applause. Sing at home, or in church,
or beside lonely or neglected. children,
or wherever your music will carry COM
fort or peace.
Or, you have studied and read much?
Whom does your knowledge help? Do
you use it simply for yourself, or to
make your little world brighter and
better?
You are, perhaps, professed servant
of Christ. You ponder long upon your
sins. You read your Bible. You pray
morning and night. You go to church.
You are intent on saving your soul. But
what help do you give to the souls of
your brothers?
God does not give you the water OF
life to be thrown upon the ground.
Pass it on! The man who stands in
the line, but does not work, is worse
than useless. He is positive hindrance.
