A Bird Story.

A few years ago lady living in the
Via ,Volturno, in Rome, had some pet
canaries in cages, which she every day
hung out on balcony in front of her
kitchen window. She observed a spar
row frequently come and perch on one
of the cages, and one evening when
she brought in her birds she unawares
brought in also the little wild visitor
perched on its favorite cage, 1t
showed no fear, and pecked the crumbs
she offered it. Evening after evening
the same bird continued to come in
with its imprisoned friend. An empty
cage with food was left near, and in
this it made its abode at night, the
door always being left open.
Spring came and the sparrow few
away; then the summer passed, and
with the shortening days she returned,
boldly entering the kitchen, sur
rounded by brood of four or five lit
tlesparrows. She had come, it seemed,
to greet her old friend, aud introduce
her treasures to her. They all con.
fidingly ate the crumbs scattered for
them on the kitchen floor. Soon win
ter came, and with it the sparrow
again as au established lodger with
board" Again the soft breeze of a
Southern spring whispered of new
nests and broods, aud the sparrow flew
away, but this time, alas to return
no more. The Spectator.

statue Hidden by Yerdigrls.

An Egyptian statue, the finest of the
kind existing, and as a work of art
ranking with the Venus of Milo and
the Venus de Medici, has just been
discovered in the Egyptian Gallery of
the Louvre, almost by accident. 1t is in
bronze, and is the portrait of queen
of the thirteenth dynasty, named
Karomana. This statue was covered
with a thick coating of verdigris,
which concealed its most striking
beauties, SO that visitors constantly
passed it without even suspecting what
treasure was before them.
An almost invisible trace of gold
having been detected on the surface,
it was thought that perhaps some gild-
ing lay under the verdlgris, and the
statue was scraped little with extreme
care.
Something was brought to view far
different from gliding. Whom the
beautiful queen was relieved from her
verdigris she was found to be clothed
in robe damascened in gold and sill
yer. The workmanship is of the most
exquisite description, surpassing any
thing known in ancient or modern art.
Indeed, the artists in work of the
kind in Paris often stand for hours
before this marvel in an ecstacy of ad-
miration and despair. The face has a
caressing fixity of purpose, not unlike
that of the wonderful Venus of Milo
in the same building, but even greater
delicacy of outline. 1t sets one dream.

Artisans DISCERNING Eve.

A stranger in the city stood in front
of a Columbus avenue apartment
house in process of construction, ap-
parently interested in what he saw,
and picFed up brick which he turned
over in his hand once or twice.
81 will give you a job if you want
it," said the foreman, who had OBJ
served the stran ger.
"What kind of job?" asked the
other, as he shook the brick dust from
his gloves.
Laying brick, of course, was the
answer. 81 know from the way you
picked up that brick that you are a
brick mason, and we are short handed,
with the cold weather on u.s."
"Hhank you, answered the stranger.
'Once l would have jumped at your
offer, for thirty-ive years ago L
wandered these streets looking for
such job and couldn't find il, though
l needed it as much as any poor fell
low in the city. 1 took Greeley's ad-
vice, and went West, where 1 have
laid tens of thousands of bricks. and
employed men to lay millions for me.
Now 1 don't need the work, but am
pleased that you recognized in me a
member of the craft"

AS YE WOULD.

II should see
A brother langulshing in sore distress,
And should turn and leave him COM
fortress,
When I might be
A messenger Of hope and happiness
How could I ask to have what denied,
In my own hour Of bitterness supplied2j
If / might share
brothers load along the dusty way,
And should turn and walk alone that day
How could dare
When in the evening watch knelt to pray
To ask for help to bear my pain and loss,
II 1 had needed not my brothers cross2
III might sing
little song to cheer fainting heart
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When l might bring
A bit of sunshine for life's ache and smart
How could hope to have my grief re-
lleved.
If kept silent when my brother grievedi
And so know
That day is lost wherein fail to lend
helping hand TO some wayfaring friend;
But II IT show
burden llghtened by the cheer send,
Then do hold the golden hours well
SPENT
And lay me down to sleep in sweet cen.
