WALHALLA, 8. G. 4.
My Kitty and a Bird.
BY LILY DOYLE.

Ono week walked in my garden,
With my kitty along by my side,
Whom suddenly, near in bush,
A brown little bird we spiod.
l stopped moment to watch it,
AS it tiutterod from limb to limb,
And thought how happy it looked
In it's littlo brown dress SO trim.
And thought, who could be so cruel
AS to harm such wee little bird ?
Then looked around for my kitty
And called, but she never purrod.
She was looking SO very intently
At something so near to the bird
That thought it must bo a lizard,
So watched and said mover n word.
Thon closer sho would keep cropping
All unseen by the little bird
When quickly she jumped on something
And q sad little cry heard.
ran to my kitty that minute,
And there in her mouth was my bird +,
With its poor little heart all a iluttor,
And its poor little eyes all blurred
took it and kept it till WE'LL
And loved it and pettod it along,
Aud often it's voice l would hear
Singing sweet little song.
My kitty 4? My heart would not sever
Her long, faithful love to me,
But my kitty and will mover
Be tho friends that we used to be-

A Left.Handed Method.

The latest illustration of "doing
evil that good may come" has been
brought to light in Toronto, where a
firm did land office business as the
result of advertising, as follows:
"On receipt of 81 we will send,
securely scaled, a beautifully bound
book of 400 pages, full Of good
things. Every sport should have
one. The most wonderful book ever
written. French and English trans
lations. Prohibited in some coun-
tries. Write at once"
The confiding persons who for
warded a dollar received fifteen
cent Bible. The Toronto detective
department declined to interfere
with the hourishing industry on the
ground that it would be incxpcdicnt
to interfere with the distribution Of
the Gospel. Holy Scriptures are
having n great and constantly in
creasing circulation, but it is appar.
ent that the Toronto plan places
them in the hands Of many persons
who would otherwise steer clear of
Holy Writ. 1t is cxaspcrating to
think that bunco men are rcaping
the rich financial reward that comes
from selling liflccn-ccnt Bibles for u
dollar Even in this enlightened
period it is held legitimate to fight
his satanic majcsty with fire. Sup
pose that the Bible houses, the
churches and other agencies for the
dissemination Of the Gospel should
undertake the Toronto plan, and
thus compete with the bold, bad
men who have stolen the livery OF
the court Of heaven to serve the
devil in What would the Bible
trust say of the plan ?--Ios Angeles
Herald.

Upward of $9,O00,000 worth of

Spelling the Boys.

Smother! motherl / can't find

"Run, Katie, and get your brother
hi, cuffs" 3s
This to tired-looking girl who is
washing the dishes, who replies list

before his eyes, mother, if he'll only
take the trouble to look for them"
"But you know how Will hates to
look for anything, and he is in a
hurry beside,-do co." as another
shout comes down the back stairs to
smother"
So Katie goes, finds the required
articles, and rs she hands them to
her brother, he gives a little grunt
of satisfaction (not thanks), and
says:
"Now, Kate, bring me some hot
water; | want to shave, and sec is
Belle has blacked my Shoes
And thus goes on, from day to
day, the work of spelling the boy,
until he unconsciously becomes selfish
and overbearing in the extreme,
expecting to be waited on as his
due, simply because he is a boy.
What a pity for the future wife |!
Let us SEQ what manner of husband
he makes.
1t is just after breakfast, and he
is getting ready to 60 town, and
rushcs into his drawer after clean
shirt and collar. When he has
tumbled the contents helter-skelter
he gives it up as bad job, and calls
his wife, who finds what he wants in
an instant.
Presently he calls her again, "Do
button this collar" he cxclaims i'm.
patiently; "you make it so stiff that
| can't do anything With it, and you
may as well tic my cravat while you
are here"
She patiently performs these
duties, brushes his hat, brings his
overcoat out of the hall, and helps
him on with it, hunts up his gloves,
and, in short, starts him on his iour.
ney, for she knows that he would
not get off till MONDAY if left to
him If. She does it while the
breakfast dishes are waiting to be
washed, the bread waiting to be
made up, and the baby waiting to be
dressed, sc everything must wait for
him 1t has taught that mother a
lesson, however.
She earnestly resolves that her
boy shall not be thus reared if she
can help it. He shall be taught to
be useful and helpful, and especially
to wait upon himself, and thus save
him from being constant worry
and burden to the whole household.

Opposed Marriage Settlements.

Just before Calhoun's marriage he
had long talk with the legal couu-
sci of his sweethart's mother regard
ing Floride's marriage settlement,
and directly thereafter, says George
Wolsey Symonds, in Ladies' Home
journal, wrote to his prospective
motherin-law on the subject: "From
prejudice, or reason, | have always
been opposed to marriage settlem ants.
l think experience and reason
prove them to be unfriendly to happi-
ness of the marriage state, and that
they tend 10 produce pccuniary en-
barrassment. In that state there
should be one interest, one happiness,
one destiny. That entire confidence,
which is reposed by a female in the
object Of her choice, in placing both
her honor and property in his custody,
gives rise to the most sacred and
tender regard. A marriage settle
ment implies distrust. 1t is no
safety against inevitable accident.
1t isa guard against the imprudcncc
or misconduct of the husband only.
If successful in life there is no bene-
fit in one if unsuccessful, what more
disagrecablc than to have property,
but not to be able to pay just debts
1t would to me be wrctched. 1t
would be splendid poverty"
