A Canary Bird.

Im at an inn is England, with rangers, when a poor man earn# cod leave to exhibit a wonderful bird which he had. Aa it was a ay, and we could not go out to e consented to the poor man’s 1; and he brought his little bird e parlor of the inn. The name tittle bird was Jewel. He stood oreflnger of his master, who said “ Now Jewel, I want you to beell and make no mistakes.” oped his head toward his master, scening to him, and then nodded “Well, then,” said his master, : see if you will keep your word. i a tune.” The canary sang. ,” said his master. Jewel sang “ Slower,” said his master; and rang slower. “You do not keep aid his owner. Hereupon Jewel > beat time with one of his feet. I the rest of the spectators were rated that we clapped our hands. \xm not thank the gentlemen tat i/plause?” asked his master; and owed his head most respectfully. ■ -•-ter now gave him a straw gun: wel went through the martial , handling his gun like a true “Now let us hare a dance!" ■* master; and the canary went "i a dance with so muon glee, d spirit, that we all applauded -h in. u hast done my bidding bravest his master, oaressing the bird. ‘ hen, take a nap, while I show S some of my own feats.” s bird went mto a cotmter- - ;>, and his owner began balanci pe and performing other trioks. ntion was given to him, when a -aek cat, who had been lurking omer of the room, sprang upon ‘e, seized the poor canary bird aouth, and jumped out of the before any one could stop him, ■ i we all rushed to make an atIn vain we pursued the cat. try bird had been killed by him a an instant. The poor man his bird, and his grief was sad 1. “ Well may I grieve for thee, •little thing!” said he; “well grieve. More than four years fed from my hand and drank -'lip! 1 owe thee my support, h, and my happiness. Without it will become of me ?” ised a sum of money and gave ; but he could not be consoled, ned for poor Jewel as if it had child. By love the little bird i taught, and by love was it ad mourned.

Public Politeness.

There was • another person on each side, one of those women moved to ax for me, and I rode a mile or ile these ten women—l do not —declined to give me a seat, as 1 have done any moment withv or crowding. The most of re probably mothers. But as ict of good manners—that is, ess, which is simply the law ss—was not in the breast of 3 ten, what is to be expeoted of Iren ?

Jimmy Brown and the Ice Cream Party.

Thera was pretty nearly a whole week that I kept out of trouble, but it didn't last. Boys are bom to fly upward like the spark* that trouble, and yesterday I was “up to mischief again,” as Sue said, though I never had the least idea of doing any mischief. How should an innocent boy, who might easily have been an orphan had things happened m that way, k now all about cooking and chemistry and snch, I should like to know. It was really Sue’s fait. Nothing would do but she must have a party, and of course she must have ice-crr am. Now the ice-cream that our cake-shop man makes isn’t good enough for her, so she got father to buy an ice-cream freezer, and she said she would make the icecream herself. I was to help her, and she sent me to the store to order some salt I asked her what she wanted of salt, and she said you couldn’t freeze ice-cream without plenty of salt, and that it was almost as necessary os ice. I went to the store and ordered the salt, and then had a game or two of ball with the boys, and didn’t get home till late in the afternoon. There was Sue freezing the ice-cream, and suffering dreadfully, so she said. She had to go and dress right away, and she told me to keep turning the ice-cream freezer until it froze, “and don’t run off and leave me to do everything again, you good-for-noth-ing boy ; I wonder how you can do it.*' I turned that freezer for ever so lon£, but nothing would freeze, so I made up my mind that it wanted more salt. I didn’t want to disturb anybody, so I quietly went into the kitchen and got the salt-cellar and emptied it into the ice-cream. It began to freeze right away; but I tasted it and it- was awful salt, so Igotthe jug of golden syrup and poured about a pint into the ice-cream, and when it was done it was a beautiful straw color. But there was au awful scene when the party tried to eat that ice-cream. Sue handed it round and said to everybody: “This is my icecream, and you must be sure to like it.” The first one that she gave it to was Dr. Porter. He is dreadfully fond of icecream, and he smiled such a big smile, and said he was sure it was it delightful, and took a whole spoonful. Then he jumped up as if something had bit liim, and went out of the door in two jumps, and we didn’t see him again. Then three more men tasted their ice-cream, and jumped up and ran after the doctor, and two girls said, “ Oh, my ! ” and held their handkerchiefs over their faces, and turned just as pale. And then everybody else put their ice-cream down on the table, and said thank you, they guessed they wouldn’t take any. The party was regularly spoiled, and when I tasted the ice-cream I didn’t wonder. It was worse than the best kind of strong medicine. Sue was in a dreadful state of mind, and when the party had gone home—all but one man, who lay under the apple tree all night and groaned like he was dying, only we thought it was the cats—she made me tell her all about the salt ai d the golden syrup. She wouldn’'believe that I had tried to do my best aid didn’t mean any harm. .Father took iier part, and said I ought to eat some of the ice-cream since I made it; bn fc I said I’d rather go upstairs with So I went. Some of these days people will begin to understand that they are just waisting and' throwing away a boy who always tries to do his best, and perhaps they’ll be sorry when it is too late.— Harper's Young People.

Reward of Industry.

A poor friendless lad might have been seen wandering along the streets looking for employment. He presently halted in front of a butcher shop, and, walking boldly up to the proprietor, asked for a job. There was something in the young man’s frank, honest countenance, which struck Hie proprietor favorably, “ Not afraid of hard work !” he asked, “ No,” responded the lad with a trembling voice. “ I have supported my mother and two sisters for five years by hard work.” He was put on trial at $5 a week mauling leathery beef, and his sturdy frame and healthy constitution came in good play. One day an old lady came in to get some beef, and the proprietor fold him to attend to the customer. . “ A tenderloin steak, if you please,” said she. “Here’s a cut that nobody but the first families get,” responded the boy smilingly as lie sliced off four poauds of tough round and cast it with a heavy han t on the scales, jamming it down with a quick, dexterous movement, until the-indicator marked six'even pounds. Then he snatched it off before the delicate machinery, used to weigh beef, had time to recoil. “ Six pounds and a half, madam,” he said, looking her square in the face with bis clear blue eyes. The proprietor of the stall called him in i hat'niglit, and remarking that he had watched his course carefully, added that as a reward for his quick, comprehensive grasp of the business he would raise his salary to $25 per week. This shows the advantage of doing everything well, and when the boy’s mother back in New Jersey hears of Iris success there will be joy in'th at household. Young men starting out in life should learn to adapt themselves to their surroundings and never let an opportunity pass. —Salt Lake Tribune.
