Stuck in the mud--creeks up-team-
sters swearing at bad roods-and
even our pious mail carrier saying
"sunday-school" words and threaten
ing to give up his job--mills can't
grlnd--wash-outs on farms and rail-
roads-our devil fretting over wet
wood, can't get a fre-and all on ac-
count of the incessant rains, night and
day. But why should we complain
Is 1T not the work Of our blessed Lord
and Master, who doeth all things well
But 1t is human nature to grumblc?
Remember last summer, when every
thing was parched up, with no rain
for weeks, how our farmers and gar
deners said they would perish for the
want Of rain, and how our preachers
prayed for only little refreshing
shower We SHOULD remember that all
things work together for good for them
that--well, for all of us. Notwith-
standing the dark clouds that now
hover over us, still we believe there is
silver lining in the clouds. When
the weather. clears up, let everybody

son that we have had for many years.
Remember the year after the war,
when our soldiers returned from the
conflicts Of war, broken down in health
and spirits, what fine crops we had
that year, with nothing but old bro
ken down army mules and horses and
that too, late in the season.
We have had a backward spring,
which prevented the trees from bud
dlng-with a good season from now
on, we may reasonably expect good
fruit year. Now let us all take cour
age and stop grumbling, and when
the bad weather shall have passed
away, let all 60 to work in earnest, ,

A Go cd Goose SforI.

It is not uncommon TO hear good
fish and snake stories, but geese stories
are rarcr, and yet the New York sun
has a rich one now. 1t narrates that
a man named Purdy, who lives on the
shore of Lake kenka, had flock Of
eleven geese In this lake. A week ago
a flock Of a dozen wild geese were fly
ing south over the lake. and, noticing
their tame relatives, slighted. Farmer
Purdy heard a noisy cackling and
rushed for his gun to capture a wild
goose or two. But he was too late.
The wild geese rose 10 depart, and,
strange to say, the tame flock went
with them. The farmer was disconso-
late at the loss of his geese. 4 week
later he noticed flock of geese tray
Cling north. He noted the movement
as queer at this season. but. bent on
revenge for his loss, prepared his gun
and succeeded IN killing two before
he discovered that they were his own
geese returned. The nine living ones
seem delighted with their home, now
that they know what the world con-
tains, and the neighborhood is specu-
lding upon the extent of their wan
behring's and the wonderful instinct
that led them back TO the place where
they were hatchcd

A Remarkable Bird.

A few evenings since, as a journal
reporter was passing a handsome
residence on Broadway extension. his
musical ear-the other is closed for
the summer against the siren wiles of
Jug bands, serenadcrs, mosquitoes and
feline Orchestras-waS greeted with
the rich rising and falling notes of a
sprightly hooking bird, whose throat
was making the air for squares
around palpitatc with sweet sounds
from his varied voice. The concealed
beauty who was singing with such eff
feet from seeming freuzy and despair
TO low notes breathing contentment
and love proved to bc.a pet of Mrs
DIR. J. = Howell. and is a genuine
Southern hooking bird, with phenom-
email powers of reproduction. not only
of bird voices, but in imitation of
human and instrumental notes. lie
readily runs the diatonic and chro-
matte scales when played on piano
or other instrument. 4 tune whistled
within his hearing is quickly repeated,
only frightened by more pleasing
pitch and expression, while such tunes
as "Chippy Get Your Hair CUT and
GLOW Are You or for Stamps To-
day" are repeated correctly and then
sandwiched in with silver tongued va
rialions that would make any ordinary
member of his tribe put their heads
under their wings. Hannibal (Mo. }
