Robin a COnvict's Pet.

A big, redbreasted robin sleeps in
a cell ut Sing Sing prison every night.
The bird Is the friend of convict
who was bird fancier in New York
City.
The robin was caught early in the
spring, when the convict was put to
work outside the north prison walls.
The tanning of birds had been the life
work of the convict, so it was not long
before the bird answered his every
call.
Now the robin and the convict are
inscparable. The bird follows the
man to his cell at night and perches
on his book shelf until morning. With
the first rays Of the sun the whole
prison ward is awakened by the birds
shrill song.
When the convict marches off to
work the bird goes with him, perched
on his hand, and remains nearby until
the days work Is over.

INDIAN CRADLE SONG.

Swing thee low in thy cradle soft,
Deep in the dusky wood;
Swing thee low and swing aloft,--
Sleep. MS Il papoosr should;
For, safe in your little birchcn nest.
Quiet will come, and peace and rest,
II the little papoose is good.
The coyote howls on the prairie cold,
And the owlct hootS i'll the tree;
And the big moon shines on the little
child
As it slumbers peacefully.
So swing thee high in thy little nest,
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the night.wind brings to thee.
The father lies on the fragrant ground,
Dreaming Of the hunt and fight.
And the pine-lcaycs rustic with mu"rnful
sound
All through the solemn night.
Rut the little papooSc in his hirchcn nest
Is swinging low as he takes his rest.
Till the sun brings the morning light.

An answer had been served and fled on

to take the testimony in such cases, and
the plaintiffs attorney in this case ap-

fully warranted the entry of a decree of
absolute divorce. Such a decree was en-

The case appeared entirely regular,
although there had been no appearance

testimony, but a stenegrapher from
