Birds at the Pole.

In the countries bordering on the
Polar seas, where the changing seasons
bring alternately the two extremes of
dearth and plenty, birds are more
numerous in the short summer than
anywhere else all the world over, aud
in winter absent altogether. All are
emigrants t iere by force of circum-
stances. In like manner the birds of
temperate climates are affected by the
seasonal changes, though in less de-
gree, through the influence of cold
and heat upon their food supplies
rather than by effect of cold upon
their well-protected bodies. A coat
of mail is not to be compared to a
coat of feathers for safety, so far as q
birds life is concerned. Layer upon
layer of feathers can Withstand any
amount of water or any degree OF
cold; in proof of this see how the
delicate tern, after wintering in COM
paratively mild weather, go back to
the ice foes of the Polar Sea and lay
their eggs on the ice. For two or
three weeks the tender breast of the
sea swallow is pressed against a cold
block OF ice. Again, as another ex-
ample of the influence of food rather
than climate in governing bird action,
take the colony of beccahcos. The
becca6co Is Mediterranean bird
common on the southern shores of
Spain and Italy, in the Grecian
Islands, Sicily and Malta, and on the
northern shores Of Africa. Formerly
it was quite unknown in the British
Isles, but some years ago large
orchard of fig trees was planted near
Brighton, and the beccaflcos have dis
covered the fact ana come over to
share the spoil, Doubtless the
nightingales told them the story of
English figs and showed them the way
over. Be this as it may, the little
birds from the warm shores of the
Mediterranean bid fair to become es-
tsblished as naturalized British SUBJ
jects. Listell's Living Age.

THE CLOVER.


Some sing Of the lily and daisy and rose,
And the pansies and pinks that the summer
time throws
In the green, grassy lap Of the medder that
lays,
Blinkln' up at the skies. through the sun
shiny days;
But what is the lily and all OF the rest
OF the flowers to man with heart in his
breast,
That has slipped, brimmin' full OF the honey
and dew,
OF the sweet clover blossoms his boyhood
knew2
never set hevey on a clover field now,
Or fool round a stable or climb in NOW,
But my childhood comes back just as clear
and as plain
As the smell of the clover I'm snifin' again
And wander away, in barefooted dream,
Where tangled my toes In the blossoms that
CLEAN
With the dew OF the dawn OF the morning OF
love,
Ere 1t wept DER the graves that I'm weeping
above,
And 80 love clover. 1t seems like part
OF the sacredest sorrows and joys OF my
heart
And whenever it blossoms, oh there let me
bow,
And thank the good Lord as I'm thankln'
Him now,
And pray to Him still for the strength, when
die,
To go out in the clover and tell it good-by,
And lovingly nestle my face in its bloom,
While my soul slips away on breath OF
perfume.

The balance sheet of the Suez Canal
Just issued cannot fail in the opinion
of the New York Tribune to be most
satisfactory to the English nation,
which, thanks to the foresight of Lord
Beaconsfeld, secured controlling
voice in the management of the prop

900 tons of shipping that have passed
through the canal during the fiscal
year that has just closed exceeds even
the most sanguine estimates of Ferdi-

fact that the vast majority of the ves-
sells passing through the canal were of
