A Pussy Mamma.

The day the little birds came, the
father seemed very joyous, and
treated us to great deal of singing
though it was not singing day, be-
ing very cold, with a steady rain.
The pretty little mother took
thoughtful care of her brood. For
a half hour or more she worked
very busily, her mate helping her,
and fed them we'll, then she DELHI
erately sat down upon these youngs-
ters, exactly as though they were
still eggs. There she stayed as long
as she thought best, and then she
went to her work again.
The morning they were six days
old l had the pleasure of seeing a
movement in the nest. When the
sun reached a certain height above
the trees, it shone into that small
mansion in such way as to reveal
it's contents; thus 1 could see the
redstart babies moving restlessly,
evidently in haste already to come
out into the world. During the four
hours that the nest was closely
watched, its tenants were fed at
about five minute intervals for half
an hour, and then mamma prompt
ly smothered their ambition, as
above mentioned, for perhaps a
quarter of an hour, when, if they
did not take maps like "good little
brides" they at least we're forced
to keep still.
The mother bird reminded me Of
some mothers of a larger growth.
she was so fussy, so careful that her
charges did not go to fast for their
strength, while her spouse made H.
bis business to see that she did not
keep them tender by over-coddling.
He allowed her to brood them for
fifteen minutes; longer than that
he would not tolerate, but came like
fiery meteor to- see that she moved.
She plainly understood his inteu-
tiou for the instant he appeared
she darted off, although me did not
touch the nest All day the weight
of responsibility kept this rover at
home; he might generally been
seen on the lower branches of his
tree, darling about in perfect silence

The Lawyers Ghost.

A lawyer and a bishop (perhaps
the bishop should come frst) were

their talk:

vinced," said the lawyer, "of the

"Welll" cried the bishop, excit-

"In the center of the room," said
the lawyer, slowly, "stood tall old

loose cloak with cape, and be wore

flowed the yellow light, making
strange ghostly shadows on the wall
behind him. In the other hand he
held a staff, the look of which was
unpleasant. He stood still in the
middle of the floor looking at me.
Presently 1 said: Whence art thou?

An Old Book.

A lady in Allegheny has q copy
of "The Westminster Assembly's
Shorter Catechism explained by
way of question and answer" The
book was printed in Ayr, Scotland,
in 1892, exactly one hundred years
ago. The preface, which is signed
by Ebenezer Erskine and James
Fisher, furnishes some excellent
reading for the present day. Refer
ing to the Shorter Catechism, it
speaks of it as "having its praises
already in all churches of Christ,
abroad and at home, among whom
it has been justly admired as a mas
ter-piece of its kind, both for the
fulness of its matter, and the COM
pendious and perspicuous manner
in which it is expressed. Although
it is human composure, yet being
a form of sound words, agreeable
unto and founded on the Word of
God, it ought to be held fast, and
earnestly contended for, by all the
lovers of truth, in opposition to the
contrary errors that are revived and
raging in our day; and in order
hereto, it ought to be considered,
that Divine faith is due to the
words of the Holy Ghost support
ing it, as the evident proofs thereof.
Nothing tends more to the ad-
vantage and well-being of the
Church, than sound standards of
doctrine, worship and government
established by ecclesiastic and civil
authority, as ours are; because as
they are strong bulwark against
contrary errors and opinions, so
they tend to preserve truth in it's
purity, and the professors of it in
unity and harmony among them
selves.
"On the other hand, there is moth
ing more CALLING to the adversities
of truth, than such public standards,
because they are a very severe check
and curb upon their unbounded and
licentious liberty, being leveled
against their erroneous schemes and
plainly discovering the harmonious
chain of Scripture truth, in opposi-
tion unto them"

ticed that he had returned to the
nursery.
At seven o'clock the next day he
came out with his mind made up to
stay. One minute he rested, to
glance around the new world, and
quickly increased the distance to
six inches. where he stood fidgeting,
arranging his feathers, and evident
ly preparing for a tremendous
flight, when his anxious mother re-
turned. Plainly, he would have
been wiser to wait another day, for
all the time it was difficult for him
to keep his place, and after enjoy
ing that elevated position in life
about ten minutes, he lost his hold
and fell.
His mother came and fed and
comforted him, and it was soon evil
dent that he had learned a lesson,
for he moderated his transports !;
though his head was as restless as
ever, his feet were more steady; he
did not fall again, and he soon
scrambled freely all over the tree.

Manners.

What are manners2 Are they
not the expression of your DISPOSE
tions and affections? Are they not
the outward signs of the qualities of
your minds and hearts? Does not
a vain, selfish boy talk loud and
long, press before others, help him
self first, jostle his neighbor and
tread on his toes? Does not boy
of a modest character and kind dis
position stand back till others are
served? And does he not speak in
proper tone? If he be cross, is not
his manner churlish? The manner
is butthe beautiful outside of the
richfruit under 1.-THE bloom of the
peach.
There is one quality of mind
which moro than all others gives
ihe right tone, modification and ex-
preston to manner. This is one of
the highest qualities with which
man is endowed. 1t is this quality
which leads him to build temples
to God, and to worship him every
where amid his works. 1t was this
sentiment which inspired and fills
the Psalms of David. 1t pervades
the highest poetry 1t led the poll
ished Greeks, when they had filed
their land with temples to their
divinities, to build an altar ito the
Unknown God" 1t is this which
leads man to perceive and feel SUI
periority in his fellow-creatures,
whether it be in mind or heart,
learning or manners-or anything
else that marks worth.
/ confess reluctantly, that our
young people are said to be deficient
in this quality or sentiment. For
eigners who come among us invaria-
bly, remark this, and we who live
among you, observe and painfully
feel it.
The want of this quality leaves
you without one of the most delight
full feelings, and highest graces.
Without it you are destitute of the
loveiest charm of childhood, and if
you continue without it, your exist
ence will lose its highest elevation,
you will be without the handspring
of all the nobler sentiments. What
is it? Reverence.
Reverence is implanted by the
Deity in human nature, but it may
be uprooted, or die away from neg
lect To you is committed the care
and responsibility of its cultiva-
ton. Religious reverence will lead

Baron Triqueti of Edward vi mark
ing with his scepter a passage in the
Bible, which he holds in his left

years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned thirty and
one years in Jerusalem. And he
did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord, and walked in all
the ways of David his father, and
turned not aside to the right hand
