Two Orioles.

Do you want to know just the cum
ningest thing that ever two little birds
did? Let me tell you-becauss 1t q
true.
The birds were orioles, and you
know the curious, pretty nests that
orioles make, swinging like a soft,
gray, silken bag from the high branch
of some elm tree.
Just three springs ago, the orioles
had come to this grand, old elm tree
that shaded the porch of a quiet farm
house.
They had picked out the very
branch they wanted and now they
must hunt for material to build their
pretty home.
So they few about, chirping and
calling and busily gathering stray
thread. and moss-when-oh, Joy
What was that beautiful, long, white
silky stuff on the porch just under their
elm ttee home? They few down very
cautiously. They fitted this way and
that. Dare they take some of 1t toT
their airy home? One more peep
yss-grandpa was asleep. There was
no doubt about il. But how should
orioles know that the long, white
whiskers belonged to him? They
pulled one hair. They grew bolder
and pulled another. Two long, beau
tiful silky threads for their nest ! They
flew off to the tree and then back fol
more. Grandpa still slept. The 1T
tie rogues were having such a good
time, when Aunt Lucy happened tc
spy them. She laughed aloud, and
of course that frightened the birds and
grandpa woke. But wait just hear
the rest. Aunt Lucy was so pleased
at what the cute little orioles had
done that she determined they should
have all the pretty threads of han
they wanted. So that very afternoon
she took some of Mary's golden locks
a few more of grandpa's and some o.
her own glossy black hair and spread
them on a bright cloth on the porch
Then she warned the family to keeE
very quiet and see what happened
In less than an hour the orioles hac
taken every hair and carried it t(
their tree. Before many days the
pretty nest was done and the birds
were enjoying their new home.
In the fall, after the orioles had lsi'
their elm tree home, Aunt Lucy had
some one climb the tree and get the
nest, and there so curiously woven IN
to the lining wei. the soft, white,
golden and black hairs.
Aunt Lucy keeps the nest in her
parlor and counts it as one of her
greatest treasures.

Influence Of Good Deeds and Words.

A traveller through dusty road
StTewd acorns on the lea
And one took root and sprouted up.
And grew into tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time.
To breathe its early VOWS.
And Age was pleased. in heat of noon,
To bask beneath its bOughs
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs
The birds sweet music bore
1t stood, glory in its place.
A blessing evsrmore
A little spring had lostits way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger seooped well,
Where weary men might turn
He walled it in and hung with care
ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did.
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again-and 10 the well.
BY summers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues
And saved life beside
a nameless man amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word OF hope and love.
Unstudied from the heart
A whisper on the tumut thrown
\ transitory breath
1t raised brother from the dust
1t saved soul from death.
o germl o font! O word Of love!
O thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last
