LAST DAYS OF DICK

How lonely 1t would be along the
seashore and on some of our great
navigable rivers and lakes, IL there
were no gulls. Sailors and people
Lying in seaport towns come to have
great deal of love for gulls. They
protect them and do not allow them
to be killed. At the Brenton's Reef
Lightshlp, near Newport, Rhode
Island, gull called Dick, spends his
winters regularly with the crew of the
lightship. The past was his twenty
fourth winter, and when Dick arrived
about the middle of November he was
so feeble he could hardly fly. He
leaves the lightship in April and re-
returns in November always within
few days of the same date. Dicks ar
rival and departure is announced in
the telegraphic dispatches.

/ have read much and heard more
about the duties OF children to par
ents. 1t seems 10 me the subject OF
the parents duty TO their boys and
girls has not been given any attention.
Books upon duty have been writ
ten by the parents, and our side of the
question has been ignored.
1t is estimated that II costs at least
$1,000 to raise boy or girl until they
are big enough TO be self-supporting.
They are worth a higher price in
England, as is shown by an adver-
tisement that appeared recently in a
newspaper, which read: "a beautiful
boy for adoption. Gentleman going
abroad. Would give his boy TO lady
or gentleman for the sum of e300."
That is $500 In our money. The
society for the prevention OF cruelty
to children looked into the matter,
and found that farmer who had lost
his wife and intended to emigrate was
actually trying to sell his boy. He
was stopped by law.

THE STORY OF A BOY CAPTAIN.
Horatio Nelson was born in Sep
tember, 1853, and became England's
greatest sea captain and naval hero.
He had eight brothers and sisters.
He was OF puny size and not very
strong but more than made zip for 1t
In all kinds of games by his high
spirits and great courage.
When only nine years old he was
sent with his brother to school at
quite a distance.
Upon one occasion, when two OF the
boys were returning TO school, in mid
winter, on horseback, they found the
snow so deep that, not being over
anxious 10 resume their studies, they
returned and told their father Of the
state OF the road.
sin that case, you shall not go" said
he; shut make another attempt and l
will leave IL 70 your honor"
The boys again started, and found
that the snow was indeed deep enough
to justify their return.
''The snow is far too deep" said
william, 1--WE must go home again"
''No, answered Horatio, 1--WE must
go on. Remember IL was left TO our
honor, and they pressed on aud safely
reached the school.
