THE JOYS WE MISS.

How small portion Of our life
ii is that we really enjoy! In youth
we are looking forward to things
that are to come; in old age we
are looking backward to things
that are gone past; in manhood.
although we appear indeed to be
more occupied in things that are
present. yet even that is too often
absorbed in vague determinations
to be vastly happy on some future
day when we have time.-Colton.

The Canary's Claws.
IL you have a canary or other cage
bird look to its claws from time to
time. for in a state of captivity the
birds nails grow so long that they
need cutting. If this be neglected the
bird is in danger of getting it's nails
caught in the cage and hanging there
till 1t dies. Use sharp pair of nail
scissors and take care not TO cut more
than just the tips of the nails. If you
hold the bird in a good light you will
see little red thread" in each nail.
This you must avoid. or you will dra w
blood and hurt your little pet.

Tennyson's Early Poems.


TennySon was only eight years old
when he covered both sides of his
brothers slate with a poem on Flow
ers, done in unimpeachable meter.
His brother had said to him, See il
you can write poetry" ana when he
read the verse on the slate lie merely
said, You've done it" Between the
ages of eleven and twelve the young
poet wrote an epic of over 1900 lines
i'll SCOTS octoSyllabics mingled With
heroics. These We're the only finished
poems of Tennyson's boyhood. but
when about fourteen or fifteen years
old he commenced drama in iamhiC
meter which still survives Thus he
practiced himself in three different
meters before he began seriously to
write or publish.
