Jenny Lind,s Benevolence.

The Century is printing series OF
papers on Notable Women. We quote
from the paper on "Jenny Lind:"
1.-THE entire proceeds OF the American
tour, amounting to more than f20,-
900, were devoted by Jenny Lind to
various benevolent objects. From
the days of her early girlhood 1t had
been her chief delight to use for the
good of others the wealth which her
genius had brought her. She was
ever ready to sing for hospital, or a
college, or a poor fellow-artist, or for
the chorus. orchestra, or scene-shifters
Of the theaters where she appeared.
rs it not beautiful that l can sing sop
she exclaimed when she was told that
a large number of children would be
saved from wretchedness by con-
cert she had given for their benefit.
The volumes which contain such re-
cord might we'll bear the label which
Jenny Lind's old Swedish guardian
placed around the packet containing
her letters to him, The mirror of a
noble SOUL"

At last, upon a pledge that each

common frankness, this convention
Of unhappy young asses broke up,
went down the common stair, and in
the gray of the spring morning, with
the streets lying dead empty all about

the gas in the hall had been left
family burning to light his return; a
dreadful stiffness reigned, broken by
the deep ticking of the eight~aay
clock. He put the gas out, and sat
on a chair in the hall, waiting and
counting the minutes, longing for any
human countenance. But when at
last he heard the alarm spring its
rattle in the lower story, and the
servants begin to be about, he in
stantly lost heart and fed to his own
room, where he threw himself upon
khe bed.

PoLLY's REvEiLLE.
Calling Coffee Cocoa Became
Nuisance.


Some years ago when stationed on
the coast of West Africa, bought q
gray parrot, which in appearance
greatly surpassed the general run OF
these birds both in size and beauty OF
plumage, and which, though paid
little or no attention TO his education,
turned out to be a remarkably apt
scholar.
The first indication of his powers
was perfectly successful attempt &c
whistle the reveille, which, of course,
he had heard on the bugles every
morning since his introduction to the
barracks, and before long he had
mastered pretty nearly every
bugle call known in the
British army. One morning ]
was awakened by his calling in a
loud tone, and in an exact imitation
of my OWE voice: "Coffee, Coffee! you
imp of darkness, whore are you? Hur-
ny up and bring my cocoa" Coffee
being little native, as black as your
boot, whom employed to work for
me. This incident naturally tickled
my disabilities, and l laughed i'm
moderately, the bird joining in the
cacchination, and again initiating my
tones exactly.
From that time on he was liable to
pick up anything heard and repeat
it at inopportune moments, which
was all very well in its way, but was
apt to grow monotonous. Regularly
at a. m. he would start a mono
logue. interspersed with bugle calls
and diabolical peals of laughter,
which awoke me. / never am very
amiable under circumstances of that
kind, and would heave my shoes or
the first missile that came handy at
him. If | happened to go anywhere
near the mark he would calculate:
"Poor Polly! Poor, poor Polly!" in
such doleful accents that my wrath
was invariably converted into laugh
ter, in which the bird joined with
great gusto. Sometimes i would yell
TO the boy and say: Coffee, take
this internal bird away" and all
down the corridor, like the very echo
of my voice, would come: Take
this Internal bird away, bird away"
Polly" after awhile became quite
characte:, and / was offered consid-
cradle sums for him, but / decided TO
take him home and make him pres
ent TO the governor" OF course on
shipboard he was among the sailors,
and equally, of course, he learned
quite a number of commands incident
al to their calling, together with a
less desirable accompaniment of bad
language. When got him home the
way he would yell at an imaginary
crew to "square away the main
BRACE and various other nautical
feats was caution to snakes. accom-
panying his commands with string
of profanity that would make the
toughest old salt hide his head with
shame or envy, and invariably in
dulged in these tricks when we had
lady callers.
