THE SOY or THE HOUSE.

He was boy of the house. you know.
A jolly and rollicking lad,
He was never tired. and never sick.
And nothing could make him sad.
If he started to play at sunrise 4ra.
Not a rest would he take at noon:
No day was so long from beginning to end
But his bedtime came too soon.
Did some one urge that he make less noise.
He would say with saucy grin:
''Why, one boy alone doesn't make mucn
TIM sorry 1 isn't twin!
''"rhere's two of twins-O, it must be fun
To go double at everything: "
To holler by twos, and run by twos.
To whistle by twos, and to sing!
His laugh was something to make you glad.
So brimful was it of JOY.
"A conscience he had. perhaps, in his breast
But it never troubled the boy.
You met him out in the garden path.
With the terrier at his heels;
You knew by the shout he hailed you with
How happy youngster feels.
The maiden auntie was half distraught
At his tricks as the days went by,
s'The most mischievous child in the world!'
She said, with shrug and sign.
His father owned that her words were true
And his mother declared each day
Was putting wrinkles into her face,
And was turning her brown hair gray.
His grown-up sister referred to him
AS trouble, trial, grief,
~'The way he ignored all rules she sald.
"Was something beyond belief.
But it never troubled the boy of the house.
He reveled in clatter and din,
And had only one regret in the world
That ne hadn't been born twin.
There's nobody making noise to-day.
There's nobody stamping the floor.
There's an awful silence, upstairs ana
down,
There's crepe on the wide hall door.
The terriers whining out in the sun
ssWhere's my comrade?" he seems to
Turn your plaintive eyes away. little
dog,
There's no frolic for you to-day.
The freckle-faced girl from the house
next door
Is sobbing her young heart out,
Don't cry. little girl, you'll soon forget
To miss the laugh and the shout.
The grown-up sister is kissing his face.
And calling him darling" and "sweet,"
The maiden aunt is holding the shoes
Th6t he wore on his restless feeet
How strangely quiet the little form.
With the hands on the bosom crossed!
Not a fold, not flower out of place,
Not short curl rumpled and tossed!
So solemn and still the big house seems
No laughter, no racket, no din,
No startling shrek, no voice piping out:
I'm sorry 1 isn't twin!'
There man and a woman pale with grief,
AS the Wearisome moments creep:
o! the loneliness touches everything
The boy of the house is asleep.

Th< California WoodpsckeF Pae1s
Ito Food Away safely.
Fred. A. Ober, who has been greas
traveller. recounts some of the strange
scenes he has witnessed for the benens
of readers Of St. Nicholas. He con-
tributes a paper to the number cal!eo
"a Birds Storehouse; or, the Carpenter
Bird" Mr.. ODER Gays:
He il handsome bird, ana II tneto
were not 80 many of his species ne
would attract q great deal OF attention.
He has a bright red head, black-and-
white body, and . needle-pointed tail.
The tail supports him in perpendlcu-
lar position on the side Of tree. while
he is hammering. or rather chisehnx'
hole in its bark.
Now, all woodpeckers, having sharp
pointed beaks and very strong muscles
in their necks and heads, can drive q
deep hole into the side of tree or
stump; but this California woodpecker
is said to surpass them all as hole
digger; and he not only digs the hole,
but he fills it up.with nut or an
acorn.
This is the strangest part Of his per
formance; for while a great many
other birds have the hole-digging in
stinct, there are very few of them that
possess the hole-filling instinct. The
blue jays and the squirrels have habit
of accommodating supplies in the shape
of nuts and acorns. and you may see
them, almost any day in autumn,
snatching the acorns from twigs ard

ALMOST from every county comes
the report that ballots at the late cleo
tion were thrown ont by the judges as
"mutilated" aud in most Of the cases
the "mutilation' consisted OF ballots
where the names Of the candidates
were stamped more than once in the
squares on the left of their names.
These ballots were not mutilRted and
the candidate was entitled to one vote
in every instance. 1t is fcharged that
over 800 ballots were thrown out in
Pawnee county, and it has come to
light in several other counties the
same thing was done.

BELLAMY.

Edward Bellamy, the author of
Looking Backward" recently died in
his forty-eighth year.
While his place in literature will be
very subordinate, his principal book
will for many years to come have a
high place in the literature of re-
generation, or social reconstruction.
Millions of the respondent, the strug-
Cling, the disappointed, of those who
lay down their burden by the way
side, and rest, have read it in the hope
of a near social millennium.
His idea that a community could
be so organized that every person
worked for the good of the whole;
that all would be equally cared for,
and all would be compelled to do
their share of work, is such a restful
idea to the weary and heavy laden, it
is not surprising that it has set many
to thinking, and has, besides, pro-
voked much angry criticism.
The book presents a social scene
which is perfectly possible, under GER
tain conditions. Only these do not
exist, and will not until some ages
have passed. His chief error was in be-
| Iieving, with the average theorist that
racial and individual habits, prejudices
and customs can be quickly changed
| by great efforts. We have often dis
cussed the subject with him. He
never was able to make allowances
t for these stubborn facts. He did not
see that a crowd of educated social
reformers, inspired with the highest
! ideals, would not agree, until their
peculiar traits had been bred out OF
them The theory that society would
not advance materially until the race
was bred up, just as fine stock is
bred up, by careful selection, and
with most vigorous methods, he be-
! Iieved was sound. but he could
not apply it. He denounced the degra-
dation of marriage by modelling it
upon the beliefs of the Patriarchs.
His theories were essentially, the
theories of Christ, and his disciples.
But he failed to see that, while
christianity as a religion is rapidly
spreading, as a business proposition"
it continues to be extremely unpopu-
lar as evangelist Moody says, among
all classes.
To the millions of refined, educated
noble souls, who find nothing but
hardships, injustice and misery in the
world, this book has been, and will be
a restful tract. 1t gives them comfort
even if they are. as it is generally the
case, largely the causes of their own
misfortune.
