delight in showing off the elumsinsss and

Examining into the matter of blum
ders, particularly in tracing the course
of the mistakes, well meant" in our
own lives, when we look back upon
them with the cooler understanding of
later years we are constrained to con-
fess that the mistake" must have been
intended to be there, as well as the cor
rect action, because the plan Of our de-
velopment has included both. Continu-
ing to study clearly and deeply we must
acknowledge that the mistakes and err
rors-nay, the very sins-when forsaken
and forgiven, have helped the soul up
ward; that all have worked together to
accomplish the result sought; that they
must have been put there and meant so
to be, and SO that our "blunders" were
not blunders at all, but although we
sowed and watered often amiss there
was always some increase given which
achieved the good we aimed at, but
failed to reach
And deepest of all we see that the
divine love, which saw the end from the
beginning, bore with tender compass

weeping, our disheartened signs. All,
infinitely greater it is, but like to the
love we bear our own children, which is
so deep and true that we endure to treat
them harshly, and with seeming cruelty
behold their tears, knowing surely that
one day they will comprehend all the
kindness.-Harper's Bazaar.

Tho Localities of the Birds.

All our permanent residents among
the birds, both large and small, are com.
paratively limited in their ranges. The
crow is nearly as local as the wood
chuck. He goes farther from home in
quest of food, but his territory is well
defined, both winter and summer. His
place of roosting remains the same year
after year. Once, while spending few
days at mountain lake nearly sur
rounded by deep woods, my attention
was attracted each night, just at sun
down, by an osprey that always came
from the same direction, dipped into the
lake as he passed over it for sip Of Its
pure water and disappeared in the woods
beyond.
The routine of his life was probably
as marked as that of any of ours. He
fshed the waters of the Delaware all
day, probably never going beyond a GER
tain limit, and returned each night at
shutdown, as punctual as day laborer,
to his retreat in the forest. The sip Of
water, too, from the lake he never failed
to take.
All the facts we possess in regard to
the habits of the song birds in this re-
spect point to the conclusion that the
same individuals return to the same To-
calities year after year to nest and to
rear their young John Burroughs in
Century.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. Is, 1892.
That Corn Episode Once More.

Mr.. Editor In justice to Mr.. |
Dutton and his wife we ask for space |
in your paper to reply to the article |
signed by Mr.. A. L. Pierce printed |
by you week before last. The gem
tleman's attempt to make light of his |
offence, and to ridicule and insult re-
spectacle people in public print, to
fair minded persons in light of the
facts will brand him a good deal
smaller pattern of man than an
"eleven cent man" or a one cent man.
The number of ears of corn taken is
not to be taken into consideration as
to the meanness of the offense al
though it was taken from the garden
in which there were only six rows of
corn planted instead of large field
as represented. The party at the
time of the pilfering were unknown
to the buttons and anybody with self
respect would protest against having
their garden stuff plucked before their
eyes by strangers. An explanation
at the time Mrs. Dutton called to
them as to who they we're would have
placed the matter in different light,
but instead of the explanation came
the defiant or insulting wave Of the
hat and the loading of the corn and
the departure of the party to their
picnic ground. No one but Mr.. Dut-
ton and another man followed them
up purposely instead of half of the
neighborhood, as represented. When
Mr.. Dutton arrived at Mr.. Hamil-
toms and mutual recognition had
taken place, it would seem common
decency required an explanation then
on the part of the picnicels as TO the
taking of the corn, as the writer says
on the strength of the relationship of
one of the ladies and former entertain
ment by her family, but as one was
forthcoming Mr.. button took his
departure in natural manner instead
of sneaking, as is alleged, feeling
ashamed for them. In his insulting
allusion to the blowing of the horn
your correspondent is at fault as to
who blew it. AS the party were 60
ing by the house on their return the
gentlemen p made derisive demon
STATIONS toward the house and one of
the children blew the horn which Mr..
and Mrs. Dutton did not sanction.
The sending of the eleven cent check
by Mr.. Rand was adding insult tc
injury. 1t has been returned to him.
This isn't the first time that picnic
ers who consider themselves respec.
table have behaved unseemly. If be-
! fore starting out they would tack on
their dashboards copy of the golden
, rule to look at once in while as they
ride along through the country il
might prevent making spectacle Of
/ themselves.
