THE POSTER KNIGHT TO HIS LADY.

Oh prlthee. swing thy easement wide,
And listen, gentle maid,
While |, thy poster knight, twang forth
A poster serenade.
The dark auve sun has gone to rest
Behind the square red hill;
No more the orange ostrich struts
Beside the yellow rill-
The pale-blue cows with coral eyes
Have left the sable lawn:
And all the dainty purple sheep,
They too, beloved, have gone.
CavortiDg through the chocolate hedge,
NO ramphory ucus comes;
From yonder palm tree none essay
To pluck The curly plums.
Then haste, pray thee, loved one, hastet
Bind up that Niie-gfeen tress;
Enhance thy beauteous angles by
Thy most composite dress.
Then forth into the Beardsley night
Well issue hand In hand
To plight our fin1de-siec VOWS
In dreaming Pos er LAND.
-ScHuYLER KING In Puck.

There Was No Shooting.

We were side tracked at Blue Hill to
wait for the express, when man dressed
in cowboys garb and having two guns
and knife in his arsenal came riding
up to the station on a eayuse. All the
passengers on the platform and in the
cars had look at him as he dismount-
ed, and it was the general verdict that
he was a bad man and must be treated
tenderly. He was enjoying the atten-
tion he attracted, when another man
came riding up from the opposite direc-
tion. He was also mounted on a eayuse
and had guns and knife and bad,
bad appearance. He dismounted with
in 90 feet of the other and then
drew himself up as stiff as a ramrod
and looked the first conner over with an
expression of deep contempt on his face.
1t was plain to see that there was bad
blood between them, and the women
and children were hustled into the sit
ting room to be clear of the expected
row. OF a sudden each man rested his
hand ON the butt of pistol and looked
defiantly at the other. Then each stepped
back, lifted his hand and began walking
up and down the platform.

death here if we don It interfere, whis-

All through my childhood rang that happy

Which fainter grew, as youth csms ON apace,
Yet echoed on, when, weary of nfe's race,
heard its tones, which bade my heart rejoice.
Far from that happy home, yet not alone,

Which fingers, guarding me from every

A sparrow Prima Donna.

M. Mingaud, naturalist of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Scientifque,
an interesting account of the musical
accomplishments of a sparrow in his
collection of living birds. He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
Matched and fed it by hand until it
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in a cage con tanning chaffinch, a gold
finch and two canaries. After a time
the sparrow learned to warble like the
finches and to trill like the canaries, the
limitations being so perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring M. Mingaud is ao-
customed to keep box of crickets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingling it
with its songs. Even after the criokats
had long been dead the sparrow remem-
bred its lesson and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the crickets. Singu-
larly enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry of its own
species, having been removed from its
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned it.
