little mutual fOrbearance goes a great
way in preserving the peace in every
well regulated family.
Children invariably, or at least so
frequently as to almost bring the mat
ter within the scope Of universally,
think they are a great deal more clever,
and could manage the family affairs
in far more comfortable and apprO-
pirate manner, than their elders; and
we, the human children of our good
old mother, are no exceptions to the
rule. We smile knowingly, shrug our
shoulders impatiently Or, perhaps, de-
family, and admit the impeachment at
once. We do know better, and we
could rule and regulate the affairs of
the world, not to say the universe,
IN a much more. sensible and rational
manner than Mother Nature does, ever
be no mistake on that point; that is
our firm belief and we stake our repu-
tation upon its accuracy and reason
ableness.

{ kinds-of what possible use are they?

Saved the Kitten.

A correspondent of the Southern BIZ
vouac tells, for young readers, as he
says, a pretty incident of the battle of
Resaca. The Federals We're charging
the Confederate works, bullets were
falling like hail, and the noise Of can
non was deafening.
All at once in moment Of silence a
Confederate soldier heard a strange
sound: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS eouW!' He
looked over the pile Of fence rails be-
hind which he was sheltered, and there
was a tortoise-sheu kitten. A farm,
house was near, it seems, and the peO-
pie had gone away IN haste, and left
the kitten behind them.
The brave cannoneer made up his,
mind that the little thing must be saved
and so, at the great risk of his life.
he sprang over the works, caught I'M.
the kitten, and jumped back again into
shelter.
When the battle was over he took
the stranger with him, and it became
the pet of the battery. s'It was pref

enlivens the outer bird Of the laughing
jackass; but such black and white, and,
in some cases, such gray between the
shoulders! Then his note. 1t has been
asserted that the Australian birds have
no song. No song! The traveller who
set that calumny af1Oat can never have
heard q magpie mailing the sun at his
uprising, Or speeding him to his bed OF
clouds in the west, into which he sinks
with such abandon that at once he
drops asleep, and suddenly darkness
falls upon the land; but the magpie
doesn't care; he tuclzs his head under
his wing, and goes to sleep, too, per-
haps to dream Of the 1.-the and active
snake that will make a breakfast for
him in the morning; for the maguie or
pied or singing crow is a serpent-lliller,
too, as well as the dacelo, and the ma
tive crane, and several other Austria
liam birds. True, he eats many other
things as well-centipedes, for in
stance, and scorpions, which are quite
rs Objectionable in their way as snakes
but he does prey Oh the latter, too,
though he only tackles the little ones,
which. however, he kills when he can,
and deserves the thanks Of the col
Onists for SO doing; for if the reptiles
were allowed to have their own way
they would grow big in time and do
a lot of mischief. I never had the good
fortune to see a maybe kill a snake,
but imagine he would go about it in
much the same manner. as the dacelo;
for [ have seen him kill scores Of cen
tipedes, ard the, modus operandi was
the same in both, cases. First, he
would crush the head Of the insect,
then he would chew or break up the
body, joint by joint; then, when the
life was extinct, he would toss the
mangled creature into the air, adroitly
catch it as it fell, and speedily dis
pose of it out of sight in his capacious
craw. Now, as this was precisely what
the laughing jackass did with regard
to the snake, it. is reasonable to sup
pose that no other treatment would be
awarded to the youthful ophidian that
had the mishap to come in the way Of
the piping crow-which, by the way,
is yet another name for our friend
the Australian magpie
1t is certainly a pity to capture and
export the laughing jackass, whose
short legs and long strong wings point
him ont as unsuitable for an existence
in confinement; but the piping crow
adapts himself very well to domesti-
Gated life, and even voluntarily sub
mits himself to the domination Of man.
