A Happy Meeting.

most touching scene was witnessed
IN the streets of Paris recently. A lit
tie girl of about five years of age was
rolling her hoop; the hoop rolled up
against gentleman sitting on a
bench, and the child, going up to him
to get it, looked at him involuntarily,
and suddenly cried out: ooh, If there
isn't the gentleman of mammals NINA
ture" This exclamation, of course, at
tracted the attention of passers-by,
and young woman, who Immediately
came up to the child, and, giving a
glance at the gentleman, tainted away.
he appeared stupefied, and stared from
the child to her mother as If he were
losing his senses; but when he saw the
latter fafnting on the ground, he
caught her up, clasped her in his arms,
and covered her with kisses. She soon
regained her senses, and fell weeping
on the gentleman's bosom. An officer,
coming up, led them off, with the little
girl, and, calling carriage, put them
in; but the bystanders had already
learned their history from their diff
ferent ordinations. Five years be-
fore they were married, with every
prospect of happiness before them; but
the husband, being young, was led
astray by dissipated associates, and,
becoming jealous of his wife, treated
her so unkfndly that she finally left
him, and took an humble lodging in
different quarter of the city, where
she soon after gave birth to a little
daughter, and since that time had sup
ported herself and child by her needle.
The husband had sought his wife in
vain, and had at last come to the sad
conclusion that she had put an end to
her existence. This thought had such
an effect upon his mind as to cure him,
not only of his jealousy, but of his
vices, and he had since been living q
most exemplary life, consecrating all
his thoughts to the memory of his lost
wife.

A Wonderful "Lintie. 4"

Mr.. Andrew Hume, Dunblane, we'll
known Scottish ornithologist, has been
making some interesting experiments
in bird training. He trained a red or
whin linnet-one of the worst of the
Scottish wild birds to domesticate-to
jump and keep time with the skipping
rope, perform on the slack and tight
rope, climb an upright rope, stand on
top of running carriage, draw cards
out of box, mount a ladder and ring
a bell, 60 round wheeling stair step
by step, and fly to Its owners head
when called upon. Care and kindness
can accomplish much in the case of
canaries and some other birds, but
this is believed to be the first time that
the "lintie" has SO distinguished itself.

And is she sad or jolly?
For ne'er on earth was sound of mirth
So like to melancholy.
II
The merry lark he scars on high,
NO worldly thought o'ertakes him,
He sings aloud to the clear blue sky,
And the daylight that awakes him.
AS sweet lay. as loud, as gay,
Inc nightingale is trilling;
With feeling bliss, no less than his,
Her little heart is thrilling.
Yet ever and anon, a sigh
Peers through her lavish mirth,
For the lark's bold song is of the sky
And hers is Of the earth.
BY night and day, she tunes her lay,
To drive away all sorrow;
For bliss, alas! tonight must pass,
Ana woe may come tomorrow.
