feathers keavcs, bones. or any colored
or gIiitctng object which comes in
their way. Capt Stokes described
one of these bower birds as taking a
shell alternately from each side of the
bower aRd carrying it through in its
bcak.
Lumheltz describes several of these
play houses Of the bower birds; he
says thex are always TO be found Gin
small brushwood, never in tho open
field; aud in their immediate vicinity
The bird collects a mass of different
kinds Of objects, especially snail
shells, which are laid in two heaps,
one at zach entrance-the one being
alwaysmuch larger than the other.
There are frequently hundreds of
fhclls, about 800 in one heap, and 80
in the other. There is usually hand
ful of green berries partly inside and
partly outside the bower"
la his interesting book, "Among
Caa...i.iiiisslls, ssls, - I1uinhoitz describes piay
ground of what would appear to be a
'liifercns species of this bird, showing
even a greater aesthetic taste. He
says:
"on lhc top of the mountain heard
In the dense scrubs the loud and un-
ccasing voice of a bird. carefully
approached it, sat on the ground and
shot it Itwas one of the bower birds,
with gray and vtry modest plumage
and of tho size of a thrush. AS |
picked up the bird my attention was
drawn to fresh covering of green
leaves on the black soil. This was tho
bird'splace of amusement, which be-
meath the dense scrubs formed a
'quare about a yard each way, the
ground having been cleared of leaves
and rubbish.
On this neatly-cleared spot the bird
had laid large, fresh leaves, one by
the side of the other, with considera-
BILE regularity, and close by he sat
singing, apparently extremely happy
over Ills work. AS soon as the leaves
aecaylhcy are replaced by new ones.
On this excursion saw three such
places of smuscme 1t all Hear each
other, and all had fresh leaves from

Crossing the Bar.
Sunset and evening star.
Ard one clear call for mel
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that. which drew from out the bound
less deep,
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark
And may there be no sadness Of farewell
When ! embark;
For tho from out our bourne of Time and
Place
The Hood may bear me far,
| hope TO see my Pilot face to face
When have crost the bar.

A Tender Hearted Dog.

A sick dog took up its abode in the
field behind our house. relates cor
respondent, and after seeing the poor
thing lying there for some time, l
took it food and milk and water. The
next day it was still there, and when
| was going out to feed it, | saw that
small pug was running about it. SO
took a whip out with me to drive it
away. Tho pug planted itself between
me and the sick dog, and barked at me
savagely, but at last drove it away,
and again gave food and milk and
water to my protege. The little pug
watched me for few moments, and
as soon as he felt quite assured thai
my intentions toward the sick dog
were friendly, it ran TO me wagging
its tail, leaped up to my shoulder, and
licked my face and hands, nor would
it touch the water till the invalid had
had all it wanted. | suppose that il
was satisfied that its companion was
in good hands, for it trotted happily
away, and did not appear upon the
scene again. London Spectator.

The Crops-Agricultura Department
Bulletin.

The July crop returns, which cover
thoroughly every county, show that every
crop has improved as compared'with re-
ports in May and June. Crops generally
are doing we'll. Decidedly more corn
and less cotton has been planted this
year, and more attention is paid to stock
raising. There will be an abundant sup
ply of meat raised, there being very
large increase in hog raising and no
cholera scarcely reported Corn in all prob
ability will be abundant to fatten on in
the fall The small grain crops as whole
will be the most bountiful in years, and
with good season on to mature the corn
crop, the farmer will have bread and to
spare The field-pea crop is larger than
in years. There is less complaint among
the farmers on account of bad prospects
of crops than probably any year in ten.
A general disposition has prevailed tc
plant less and cultivate better The re
ports show the presence and destructive
ness of more bugs, worms, etc., among
crops generally than for many years.
Almost the entire tobacco crop show.
a GOOD stand, and in some favored sec
tions it is phenomenal; in every instance
the plant can be seen in t1ourishins
condition. The cultivation of the weee
is still extending in the eastern counties
some reports in this month are from
Onslow county. The prospects for thi
crop will average this month 81, with Al
increased acreage over former year.
