A ~iood Word for the sparrow.

The pugnacious sparrow has long been
charged with driving away our native
birds This may be true to a limited
extent, but il does not appear to be as
true bill of indictment, so far as recent
observation goes, as it might be. Others
besides ourselves have observed g. large
number of robins, bluebirds and chip
pies nesting nearer by than heretofore,
and that they are not molested by the
sparrows. A pair of robins selected a
tree near the sidewalk, not over fifty
feet from our front door, and many
times day we see the parent birds
gathering their food upon the lawn, and
never once, there or elsewhere, have we
seen them disturbed by sparrows.
A bluebird has nest in house al a
neighbours just diagonally across the
street, and a chippy family of young
in a tree only few rods to our left, and
never once have we known of either be-
ing mOlested. We believe the truth TO
be that the numerous shotguns in the
hands of wanton destroyers of innocent
bird life, or in those who are killing
birds for the millions to dress hats with,
are responsible for the wholesale destruc-
ton of native song birds, or driving
them away, more than the ever present
or active sparrow. Anyhow we admire
the sparrow for his persistence and
pluck.-Reynoldsville (Pa.) Volunteer.

a woman or girl with any spirit will
not be patronized. She may not have as
much money as some, she may not oc-
cupy a social position equal to her pa
troness, yet she has spirit of indie
pendence left, and unless favOrs can be
given without showing the spirit of con-
descension, the great stepping off OF the
exalted pedestals that such attentions
indicate. she would rather never go any
where, see any one or do anything, ex-
cepting when she need not have forced
upon her the knowledge of how much Is
being done for her in the notice of one
so greatly her superior.
A genuine desire TO bring enjoyment
into another's life and oetentatious CON
descensions are two entirely different
matters, and can never be confoundeT
even by the very high spirited girl

The Moons of Mars.

The moons of Mars were discovered a
few years ago through the, telescope of
the naval observatory at Washington
by Professor Asaph. He will be active
" interested in the observations of that
planet and its new found satellites which
will be made IN August next by astron-
omers all over the world. Since the dis
covery of the moons ia 1887 this is the
first opportunity afforded for examining
them, inasmCch as they are SO small as to
be perceptible only at close range Once
in every fifteen years Mars reaches its
nearest point to the earth. In few
weeks it will be within 35.000,0O0 miles
of US, whereas its greatest distance is
III ,OOO.0 900 miles. Great interest at
taches to the matter because this sister
world is so much like our own in re-
spect to its climate and other conditions
that it may reasonably be supposed to
be inhabited, -Providenc Journal.

TO TIE HOLY LAND.
Edward was so anxious TO 90 to the
Holy Land that when he was about to
expire he bequeathed $3.50, 900 to have
his heart, after his decease, taken t. the
Holy Land in Asia Minor, and his re
quest was complied with. But there are
hundreds today whose hearts are already
in the holy land of heaven. Where
your treasures are there are your hearts
also. John Bunyan, of whom l spoke at
the opening of the discourse, caught a
glimpse of that place, and i'll his quaint
way he said: "And heard IN my dream,
