EAST INDIAN BIRDS.
An -'uerican Girl Writes of the Many
Varieties She Finds There.

If your man who loves birds were here
he would find much 10 interest him. We
have all sorts aud sizes OF birds, from Il
tiny thing not larger than my thumb
on through the various stages; slender
black-and-W little body that walks
on the ground a great deal and hobs is
tail all the time; little bigger one re-.
semblIng the English sparrow; another,
IN size, color, shape and habits quite like
the robin, CHS one is very dear to ust.
parrots, which fly by in large numbers,
and squat; Il jet black bird, with two
tau feathers nearly foot long and part
ing Ike a swallows tail; Il larger brown
bird, with very long, straight tail; blue
jays, which make Il circle of blue ana
white as they fly; crows, jackdaws and
ravenS-WhiCh, like the elephants and en-
gines, are never tiresome. Some years
ago one great raven used TO stand on my
window sill almost daily and beat his
breast against the glass in a sort of
trance, cawing, cawIng "eyermore.'
So our list of birds goes on-kltes,
hawks; one great creature which we call
Renggnok, and which seems TO be half
bill and has a bark not unlike dog,
and when the female is ready to sit
upon the eggs the male pulls out her big
wing and tail feathers; vultures, which
congregate by hundreds about the dead
bodies of animals, tone always eats first
alone. and the others wait, while the
SauCN crows mop up SldeWlSe ana gfaD

bodied, ong-legged, long -necked creature,

Plant MYTHOLOGY.

The Greeks and Romans of ancient
times are not the only people who have
curious, NEUROLOGICAL stories about the
origin of flowers. Scandinavian literature
abonnds with these pretty tales. Even
our Indians had their say, in like manner.
about these things. Among some of the
Canadian aborigines, pines and cedars
originated from strong men who were
planted by their feet in the ground, and
branches grew out of their bodies, in re-
singular that similar stories about the
origin of evergreens have prevailed
among ancient man in many isolated
pOints.-Meehan's Monthly.

AUTUMN.


When the leaves are turning crisper
And the night winds family whisper,
When the frightened rabbit scampers
through the russell stubbefeld,
You may know that summers waning,
And twin he no use complaining,
For the gl0Ties of the autumn can no longer
be concealed.
When the brceZes cOyly daily
With the bushes in the valley.
And the whippoorwil is silent in his forest
solitude,
You may know that summers mission
Has attained its full fruiton.
And that leafy June no longer by the arIent
sun is w0oed
When n gold and diamond chalice
In an Oriental palace,
In mlgnihcence and Splendor sets the cloud
encircled sun,
You may know that June has persisted
And the sweets Of late you chetishe',
And thar Autumn. queenly Autumn, has her
glorious reign begun.

Ex-senator John Sherman of Ohio,
died at bis home in the city of Wash
iDgton on the morning of October
%, in the IS h year Of his age. He
was a man who failed to live up to
mis- great opportunities and the ex,
pecsation of his political friends.
The most memorable incidents con-
pected with his public career were
his disreputable connection with
the crime of demonetizing silver and
his inveterate hatred of the South.
For these two characteristics he was
pre-eminently prominent. Peace be
to his ashes.
