THE LITTLE BROWN WREN.


There's little brown wren that has built in
our tree.
And sbe's scarcely rs big as big bumblebee.
She has followed house In the heart Of a
And made the walls tidy and made tho foor
trim
With the down of the crows foot, with TOW
and with straw,
The coolest dwelling that ever you saw.
This little brown wren has the brightest of
eyes
And a foot Of very dimsnutive size-
Her tail is as trig as tho sail Of q ship.
She's demure, though she walks with q hop
and a skip,
And her voice-but flute were more ut than

10 tell Of the voice of the little brown wren.
One morning Sir Sparrow came sauntering by
And cast on the wren'a house an envious eye.
With a strut of bravado and toss Of his head,
'Tll put in my claim here" the bold fellow
said.
So straightway he mounted on impudent wing
And entered the door without pausing to ring.
An instant-and swiftly that feathery knight.
All towsled and tumbled, in terror took fight,
While therc by the door on her favorite perch,
As neat as q lady Just starting for church.
With this song on her lips, HE viii not call

A Bear. a Cab and a .serrot.y

On Sunday evening an amusing inc|
dent occurred in the Champs Elyse3
quarter. A man named Haja, employd|
by NJ. Marseille, a wild beast tamey
thought he had right to add to hi
wages by exhibiting his masters bear i
the streets. With this object in viev
lac installed the bear in an open cab, an(
taking his seat beside the animal tol(
the coachman to drive to the Champ
Elysees. The vehicle reached the Avenul
Victor Hugo, followed by crowd 4
boys and young mon, who by the q n
risive shouts attracted the attention y
two sergents de vile. They stopped t!
cab, and after ascertaining the truu|
one of them got into the vehicle and az
dered the cabman to drive to the ncay'n
police station. The presence of stri n 4
beside it so excited the bear that n 4
swaying backward and forward it VI
soon upset the vehicle. The merrimen
caused by the sight Of the cabman, th'
sergents de vile and the tanner sprawlini
on the ground, with tho bear aluios
under the upset cab, can easily be i'm
