the heron. lurching heavily to one

heron, it stood immovable. its head
back upon its shoulders, it's keen eyes
sparkling detiantly.
In a moment Rob returned to the
attack. He ran around and tried to
seize the bird by the tail: but the
birds head went about like lightning
ON the pivot of its long and snake
like neck, while it's body never
moved: and again Rob received a
blow which made him yclp.
He drew off a few feet, and then
ran round and round his enemy. seek

found himself opposed by that terri

IL the bird must twist his head Off in

Whenever the furious dog would
make IL dash for the birds tail. out
would dart the long, fine weapon,
bringing blood where it smote, and
hurting back the onslaught.
Presently Rob gave Il howl of dis

plucky bird deserved IL better fate

Virginia, the home of the Presi-
dents, has yet other honors, and many
are the historical memories that cling
to the picturesque scenery Of that
sleepy old State. Among the many
important events for which she is
famous is the founding of the first
temple of worship built in America
by the Church of England. This was
built in Norfolk in 1887. The first
minister in this parish, which was
called the elizabeth River PARISH"
was John Wilson. AT that time to-
bacco being the chief currency, the
minister's salary was fixed by law at
l,500 pounds of tobacco and 16 bar
rels of corn. This was subsequently,
increased, however, until in 1861 the
minister of this parish, which then
contained three chapels, received 90.
900 pounds of tobacco per year
