cropped with grain or grass. the process
of exhaustion is, of course, quite rapid.
The trees vitality is brought TO a low

Gayly trip they to and fro

Many errands kind they do;
Tireless are their footsteps ever,
Tagging never!
Ever growing are the feet

Grace and strength for heart and mind
May she find
Angels watch the tripping feet

May they bring her happiness;

So those feet shall never stray
From His way!
When shall stop the busy fees

GOSSiP'S Birdie.
The Odd Device of an English Parish for
Idle Takers.

Made for tongues that talk too idle.
This is the Inscription on an iron
hopping, with a fiat piece projecting
inward to lie upon the tongue. pre-
served in the ancient church of Wal
ton-upon-Thames, in Surrey, England.
Tradition says that this bride was
presented to the parish about two cen
turtles ago by a person of consequence,
whose name was Che; ter. Its presenta-
ton arose from the singular circum-
stance of his having lost a valuable es-
tate through the idle stories of q
neighbor.
In the days when this curious instru-
ment was in use it was sometimes
called a Drank" and was put upon
the head of the offender and padlocked
behind; h wearer was then led
through the town and publicly pro-
claimed a gossip" in loud tones, that
all might here and be warned.
1.-The general definition Of the verb
ito gossip" is to talk idly, especially
about other people, and although
there is at present no fear of the
"brank," yet public opinion has made
of itself a bride that goes far toward
restraining malicious persons in their
personal remarks about other people.
Edmund Burke's brother once said:
II don't see what there was about Ned

matter Of serving as officers. A
bill embodying the principle that
men who seek to command vessels
CARRYING the British flag shall, ipso
facto, be British subjects, has been
introduced into the House of Com
mons. The measure proposes to
enact that a ship of 500 tons shall
carry a certifcated master and first
and second mate and that a vessel
of 1000 tons or more shall, in addl-
ton to these, also carry third
mate. The most material clause,
however, is the following: From

this act no certificate of competency
or service as master, mate or en-
gineer shall be issued to any per-
son other than a British subject"

four returning Chinese fishermen to

a crash, their heads striking on the
