To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD


One OF your correspondents seems TO draw a
comparison between the Jewish worship and the
act OF the pilgrims in going TO Paray-le- hania.
Now believe the Jews did right in going to wor
ship where Gods ark was for II there that the
symbol OF the Divine presence was and the place
appointed for them to worship. But what was right
under the Jewish ceremonial dspensaton may be
wrong under the Christian. According to the
Book cannot believe that Christ appointed Paray
le- Manual as place Tor Christians to go and w0r
ship. For what does He say regarding the place
OF worsnipY "Jesus saith unto hsr, Woman, be-
iieve me, the hour cometh when ye
shah neither in this mountain nor
yet at Jerusalem worship the Father
Dnt the hour cometh and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and
in TRUTH or the Father seeketh such TO worship
Him. Now by what Christ saith it is evident that
there is no particular place appointed TO worship ;
but everywhere where sinners are convinced
and converted they are in mt place to worship,
and no doubt the pilgrims could have done more
Tor the honor OF the Masters Kingdom by sta ing
at home and striving to speed the knowledge of
the Gospel as Christ gave them opportunity ana
showing by their walk and conversation that they
belonged 10 Christ's Kingdom. AN OBSERVER.

Sixteen years ago the ship Mary E. Can

loaded, and bound to Europe. Her captain
had some little difficulty with the Towboat
Association. His ship was put upon the bar
and grounded. He expended all his freight
money in towage, trying to get her to sea.
In the meantime, ships that had left port
when he should, had made the voyage to
Europe and returned. What could the poor
man do: He was nearly distracted. He

could make was $4,000 to sea, which he
finally agreed to. The next day his ship

Seemeth the chorus that greets the ear
A dirge for the dying hours,
That wake no more for the passing year,
Spripc's voices of birds and flowers?
Or Is it a psalm OF love upboTne


From this grateful earth of ours?
Unfold us the burden Of your song,


Grasshoppers chirping SO
Tender and sweet the whole day long!
Is it of joy or woe,
The music that breathes from each blade of grass
In undertone deep and low?
Vainly list for jarring tone,


All is SO blest to me-
From the cricket that swers, beneath the stone,
The brown toad hid in the tree,
To the tiniest insect of them all


That helps with the harmony.
Never pause in the serenade!


Like the glory of ripened corn.
1t hlleth the air through sunshine and sha e;
And from twilight till peep OF morn
Is a rhythmcal pulse in the dreamful night,
That of satisfied lie seems BORN
AS the gold of the summer about us floats,
Soft melody crowneth the haze
OF the yellow ether with choral notes


Through these tuneful autumn days,
Speak, sphinx of the hearthstone, cricket dear!
Is the song of sorrow or praise?
OF this am s1re that you bring to me


Thoughts the sweetest of any know;
OF this am snre, that you sing to me-


In minor toues tenderly low,
OF things the dearest that life has brought


And dearest that hopes bestow.

PROF. SAMUEL LOCKWOOD gives an in
teresting account of that beautiful bird
known as the golden robin, or Baltimore
oriole, in connection with the common
humble bees. Last June large numbers
of these bees were found under the horse
chestnut trees, then in full bloom, in the
campus of Rutgers College, every one of
them decapitated, and the heads lying
around with the bodies; and it further
appears that every one of the headless
bees was stingless male. The Professor
worked out the case with much patient
perseverance. and found to his surprise
that this wholesale slaughter was the
work of four orioles. Another fact which
astonished him was, that the bodies of
these insects were empty, the viscera
having been drawn out at the ring.like
opening where the head had been neatly
shipped by the birds. The process was
to catch the bees while lowering at the
ball.like opening of the flowers. After
severing the head, they extracted the Wis
cera for the sake of the honey.sac. Several
very interesting considerations are
brought out in the course of the article
such as the acquired taste; the birds had
found out that honey was nice. Was it
not singular, too, that they had learned
that 1t could be got in such manner?
And there was also the curious fact that
the bird confined its marauding to the
hiteheaded bees, the stingless males
thus carrying on his terrible work with
impunity, and almost wantonness, as it
contented itself with simply the
honey-bearing sac. Prof. Lockwood
also notes curious change
the wonderfully plucky manner of this
irA OF TO II IN
and other large birds, as securing the
general admiration, he says that for him.
self that admiration has gone down to
zero, as he has noticed that the bird has
not any true knightly qualities, but can
do some very mean things. The Pro-
fessor then instances case in which a
pair of robins had built nest in tree
so near by that the process could be
watched from the house. A pair of king
birds kept all the time near, and watched
progress with genuine royal Incidence,
and, when all was finished, with kingly
impudence took possession. The rightful
owners made but feeble effort to resist
this invasion. The king-birds retained
possession until theiryoung were raised.
More than year ago, Prof. Lockwood
likewise called attention TO the fact that
the great butcher-bird, or northern shrike,
contrary to all precedent, had begun to
visit in winter the cities where the Eus
ropean sparrows have become natural
lied. The bird in summer collects grass
hoppers, small lizards, etc., and impales
them on the spines of the locust or other
trees eating them at its leisure. He no
tices the case in which a shrike in its
winter visit gibbeted a sparrow in the
city by putting its neck in the crotch of
small branch of larch, and then, having
knocked in the top of its head, the bird
extracted its victims brains.

A WEST VIRGINIA ROMANCE. Sarah j.
Winemiller, girl of about seventeen
summers, who was convicted Of, and sent
to the penitentiary for, burning a small
log church in one Of the smaller counties
of the State, has been pardoned by Gov.
Jacobs. The manner in which this girl
got into the penitentiary is peculiar. She
was enamored of young man who, un-
fortunately, was charged with stealing
horse and was put in jail to await trial
thereof. With a confidence in the
falsity of the charge against her
inamorata and devotion TO him
that was remarkable, she proceeded
to commit the act for which she was sent
up that she might be with him IN the
penitentiary. But, alasl the man was &C
Quilted last fall when his trial came of,
and he has ever since, up to the time OF
the pardon, been engaged in securing his
faithful though rash sweetheart's release.
The facts of this notable romance are set
forth in the petition. The happy result
may be imagined. -, 49,

NoTHING is more agreeable TO most
cows than the operation of milking, ex-
cept, perhaps, eating, and a COW with q
tstended udder will usually prefer to be
MIXED. Nevertheless, heifers are gen.
orally nervous about it, frequently kick,
and never stand still at first. Kind treat
ment and gentle hand are essential. A
rough man will be sure to make the heifer
a kicker. The best way to begin ia to sit
by the heifer, on her right side of course;
make her place her right foot back, then
grasp the cord above the hook Of the leg
with the left hand and hold on. She can
not lift her left leg well. and viii not try;
but she will try to step over your right
foot. This is easily prevented by raising
the elbow, and she is absolutely forced to
stand as she is. Meanwhile you can first
clean and manipulate her bag and teats
with your right hand with entire safety.
When she stands quiet you can use both
hands. but be ready on the least suspicion
of movement to replace the left. The
heifer should be tied in stall at first and
have son ething to eat, perhaps, and Il
very wild it may be necessary to begin by
handling her, rubbing, brushing, or card
ing her gently. anil gradually getting hel

A CURIOUS incident occurred few days
since a snort distance from this city.
One of our well-known merchants had
gone out on visit to a friend, at whose
house there was bright little boy, and
one day, to please the child, he manufac-
tured very large kite, and as the wind
was strong enough, the kite was raised
at once. After it had gone up nearly half
a mile. large crowd of country people
collected to admire it, as such magnifi-
cent toy had never been seen In that sec
ton before. While the spectators were
admiring it, very large hawk was seen
to fiy slowly out of a neigboring grove
and 90 directly toward the kite. The
hawk approached within few feet Of the
strange looking object, and then circled
about under 1t for perhaps five minutes,
when he flew Just above 1t and again cir
cled around several times. Suddenly he
hovered directly over the kite, and after
looking at it intently for a short time,
darted downward, and striking the paper,
passed directly through the kite, ceming
out on the under side. After this strange
experience which no doubt puzzled the
hawk vastly, he flew off short distance
fer reflection, but still keeping the kite In
view. Net being disposed to give 1t up
so, he quickly returned to the charge,
md this time fastened on the long string
of rags that were used as a tall to the
kite, which he tore and scattered In the
air in a savage manner. Finding, how
ever, no resistance on the part Of the kite,


he became disgusted or scared, and new

came. The gentleman says that when.
