MISCELLANY.


one Year Ago.
What stars have faded from our sky
What hopes unfolded but to die
What dreams SO fondly pondered DER
Forever lost the hues they wore,
How like a death knell, said aud slow,
Tolls through the soul, 'one year ago
Where is the face we love to greet,
The form than graced the freside seat,
The gentle SMILE the winning way,
That best our life-path day by day
Were fled those accents. soft and low.
That thrilled our hearts zone year ago:
All vacant is the hreside chair,
The smile that won, no longer there;
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of the voice is gone;
And we who linger only know
How much was lost 'One year ago"
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night;
Serene she sleeps, nor needs the tread
OF footsteps DER her lowly bed;
Her puselesS breast no more NAV know
The pangs of life "one year ago
But why repiney few more years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And we enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have led;
To that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed 'One year ago

CHICKEN LANGUAGE.
Prof. Hamerik, tho Composer, Studies
Them and Gives His Observations.

Prof. Hamerik, tho Composer, Studies
Them and Gives His Observations.
Prof. Asger Hamerik, director of the
Peabody conservatory of music and
the composer of Morse symphonies,
says he has made the discovery that
chickens have language which he,
by careful attention and by expert
ments, has partially mastered. He says:
Chickens are the greatest gossips in
the world. 1 know they have a Ian
guage, for when one is alone it will
not talk at all 1t may, perhaps, sing
d little song to pass the time away,
but it will not talk to itself, As soon,
however, as it meets another the con-
versation will begin. My chickens
have nearly all been of the Cochin
China breed and have discovered that
they have acute senses of vision, hear
ing and taste, but they can not smell.
They are peculiarly susceptible to GER
tain colors. Red almost drives
them crazy, while blue is not
to their liking by any means. One day
j noticed that my chickens in the back
yard were in terrible state of excite
ment. l accidentally found out the
cause of it. There was red curtain
in the back window of house next
door and l could see them glance up at
this and utter their notes of alarm.
got the lady Of the house 10 have the
curtain removed and the commotion
ceased. / tried to experiment with
other colors, but they did not seem to
mind any but blue. and this they did
not like. l found if blue ribbon or
string was tied to one chickens leg all
the rest would keep away from it.
Il have noticed that chickens can
distinguish between white and colored
people. For the latter they have 4
special aversion. Whether it is be-
cause they know by instinct that ne
groes are so fond OF them for eating
purposes or not can not say. ] once
had five Cochin China pullets to which
Pot. Pete would respond readily
when her name was called, but the
others would come also with the
exception of Pot. who would come
when | called her. Pete would come
when I called Pit. Pat and Pet, show
ing that she could not distinguish,
closely between the vowels l. A and E.
short. There was such difference be-
tween these and Pot that the latter
would recognize her name as soon as
called. If the consonants were trans
posed and would call Top instead of
Pot she would not notice.
Growing among ROSTERS is most
interesting study. ] have noted the
crows of over one hundred BOOSTERS
and have never found two alike. The
crow is nearly between twelve q. IN.
and twelve noon, and is from three to
seven seconds in duration. BOOSTERS
begin TO crow at dawn and those far
Their eastward crow the last. 1t is
kind of telegraph service to one an
other. Generally there are seven crows
given in the space of ten seconds from
each other. Cocks crow few min
utes after being frightened and after
eating, and | can tell almost exactly
when they viii begin. A rooster is by
all odds the proudest thing on earth,
with no exception. A human being can
not compare with one in this re.

The train had stopped at a station
and several men had alighted. as was
their custom, TO stretch their legs on
the platform. and when it started
again one of the men, who had strayed
a little too far of, was left behind.
In minute or two there was loud
scream and a woman rushed up 20 the
conductor and exclaimed excitediy:
''You left my husband behind al that

official; calm yourself We shall be

Grimmy, hearing his name men
toned, came to the bedside. and sat up
begging. with his shaggy head on one
side, as if trying to say: II know
there's something wrong. Can't do
anything9"
'sPoor Grimmy!'' said "Spangles.
You'll be good to him when I'm gone.
Jimmy. and never part with him while
he lIves??"
Grimmy jumped on the bed, and
licked the old mans hands and face,
and it was as much as Jimmy could do
to remove him.
II will, indeed. be good to him, and
never part with him, dear MASTER"
said Jimmy, but, oh! what are we to
do when you are gomez" And the poor
lad sobbed piteously.
BE brave lad, Jimmy, and He who
cares for the sparrows win not forget
either you or Grimmy. Be always
truthful and honest. however you
may be tempted 10 do otherwise, and
whatever you find to do, do it with all
your might Bear In mind that your
mother is an angel Jimmy, and l am
going TO Join her at last In Gods
good time you, too, will join US; think
how happy we shall all be there; and
when tempted to do wrong, just think
that If you do it you may be prevented
from over coming to US, and God will
help you to do right You and and
poor Grimmy have played through
many towns. and trsmped for many
miles together; yet We never had An
angry word, whist We sought to earn
an honest living. Poor old 'Spangles'
is going to leave you, but life is before
you yet, my lad; and although I have
not been able to save much, yet you
will find enough in my bag TO bury mo
and to give you a start"
He then sank back exhausted, and
| while the lad sobbed as if his heart
would break Grimmy howled piteous-
", and sat up begging in all directions
During tho succeeding night the old
man rested more quietly, but had sew
eral severe psroxysms Of coughing,
which thoroughly exhausted him, he
was also, at times. delirious, when his
mind seemed to be dwelling among
earlier memories and bygone scenes in
which the name of Annette was fire..
quently and fondly mingled.
On the following morning, whom the
doctor called again, he was deeply
moved by tho intense and unrestrained
grief of the poor lad, who held his dy-
ing masters hand in Lis own, whilst
the lips Of the poor old man were feebly
| moved in blessing.
Even the faithful dog seemed to feel
that he was losing dear friend. for
he was restless and uneasy, sat up bog
ging all over the room. and had refused
| to eat since his masters Illness
The doctor however, spoke kindly to
the lad, and when the weeping youth
said: my dear master was tho only
J friend had in 'the world" no cheered
him up by saying that he must not
give way. as the future was before him.
