My Birdie Visitors. One soft spring day, when doors stood wide, To let the fiiubettins inward glide, I heard a ohirp, so plad and free, That quick 1 turned my head to sec. A little bin! was on the floor, A yard or so inside the door, Hopping about for crumb that Will, Sweet, careless rogue, would often spill.

I bent low down to pat his head, In hirdie tongue, ";ood-bye" he said, And flew to where his trembling mate Was sitting on the garden gate. But soon again his chirp was near, Anil quivering at the door with fear, Peeped in my birdie's chosen pet, With soft, brown robe, and wings of jet, And thus they came, the summer through, Till autumn winds around me blew, And then 1 saw my birds no more, Though oft I kept an open door. No more, I mean, that winter drear, But when glad spring brought daisies near, And children danced by dancing brook, And orchards robes of blossom took. My dear, sweet pets, in smooth, new dress, Came once again for fond caress, Warbled their notvs for careless Will, And ate of scattered crumbs their fill. Now in and out the open door, A dozen times a day or more, AVith chirp and song they gladden bright, E'en hours the sunshine cannot light.

The Old Farm, The old farm house, I see it still In memory's visions sad; I wander through its rustic walls, A happy thoughtless lad. The house wherein my mother oft, At evening's solemn hour, Read to us the holy page Of (iod, his love and power. Tiie fields decked with waving grain, The stream that pearls along, Upon whose bank the tuned throats Their joy our notes prolong. The barn beneath whose shady eaves, : Twittering swallows cling The gate, the porch, with ivy clad, . The heallh renewing spring. JJay brightest blessings cluster round The dearest spot on earth The home, where childhood's fairy dreams, Entrancing, took their birth. AVhile life remains where'er I dwell, Still lingering but to charm,. My fondest recollections cleave Toward that dear old farm. (From llio Kiimlav Delia.) 31 Y AU:NT KS. BY A MOTHER. How cross I was ! I thought of it all the time I was talking to that little fragile creature, whose lips had made those few simple requests I might so easily have granted had I only bo willed. A little lily of the valley sort of child she was, needing all the protection and care nature had afforded her; one who loved to nestle in the thick green leaves of parental affection, and, hidden there, asking little else. "It is so cold in the nursery, mama, and John hasn't a lire in the stove yet ; I will be so stilt if you will let me sit here by you ? 'Put a shawl about you," I answered ; "there is no stove hero either, and I am sure it's not cold anywhere this morning." The little girl left her scat and went to the window. Her face was very wistful in its expression, and her unsatisfied look wandered up at the sky, filled with its dreary gray clouds, to the trees on the liwn swayed by the chilly north wind ; then away to the right, where she could get a glimpse of the lake, with its white-crested waves rushing wildly in shore. I was cold, I acknowledged it to myself as I watched her standing there, but I did not admit it to her. "Could you let me have one of the baby slips to put on my doll ? I won't tear it." "How absurd you are, Agnes ! Don't make such foolish requests ; your doll, I am sure, has. enough clothes of her own." "I love to have her look like your baby, mnma. "Don't tease me any longer, child ! I can't furnish your doll and the baby from the same wardrobe that is quite settled." "Well, may Puss tell a story to me ? "Puss has the baby to attend to, and can't tell you stories, Agnes. io, get your sewing and sit down in the nursery, or do what you like to amuse yourself, but do not trouble me any more." She lingered a moment longer, twisting the ends of her blue sash in her little fingers; then went out of the room, closing the door so gently behind her, I scarcely knew of her exit. A little after this, 1 rose and went to the window. I can see the trees sway now, just as they did that morning ; and the gray sky, and the gray lake, I see litem,, too, and f' el the biting October air, which made my little daughter declare it was so cold. As I looked from the tall window, I saw, crossing the lower part of the garden, old Bartlemy Boyd. His gray hair blew about over his haggard face, half concealing his blood-shot eyes and mumbling lips. I thought he seemed more wild in his manner than was usual, and wondered what had occurred to excite him! Generally regarded as perfectly harmless, he was permitted to go at large about the town; chopping wood, running errands, and picking up an hom-st penny in whatever useful way he Could. Lntle children loved him. His entertaining stories, his merry songs, and vivid pictures of sea life, drawn from his own sailor-experience of many years,

drew him to all the little ones, and though when I sw them clustering around him 1 more than half doubted the propriety of permitting them thus to trust a half crazed old man, I disliked to be the first to draw my own child from the innocent little circle which gave the poor old man so much delight. To my little Agnes he brought the blue lilies from the distant pond ; wild roses from the rocky hills, and the rich hearted daises from the low meadows. The love of flowers with her amounted to a passion ; and her little five year old heart could not be made to leap with a greater joy than permitted to go by herself gathering these precious crumbs from the table of our Lord. Her favorite walk, when suitably attended, had always been to the summit of Black ltock, a lofty crag which rose precipitately from the lake, and joined the level ground by a deep and rough descent on the shore side. On the umniil of this crag grew many a sweet herb and wild flower which Agues knew and loved ; and being a child possessed of no fear of nature, she was wont to Tenture to the very tin of the fearful precipice, in search of a favorite blossom, maintaining her fearless demeanor and that calm forgetfulness of danger which seems the sole prerogative of the somnambulist. As I said before. I was cross that morning. I felt that I had been more childish than my child herself. As the wind grew wilder, and the sky more dark, I began to long for the little one's prattle, and to regret having banished her horn

my own cheerful morning room with its soft Southern aspect and luxurious appertenances, to the chilly loneliness of some other part of the house, with only her doll for company. I went to my door and called her name softly. 1 had some oak burrs and scarlet berries in my table drawer, I wished lo offer her. "Agnes!" I called again softly. There came no answer. I thought then it was my own consciousness of having left undone those things which 1 ought to have done for mv little trill's amusement and

pleasure, which sent that sharp pang through "my heart, as I rapidly ran up stairs. 1 never dreamed of regarding it as a foretaste of those fiercer pangs which were to henceforth fill both heart and brain, and bring me here here! "Agnes !" I called again. I can hear my own voice to-day, as it came unanswered back through the silent rooms. The nurse opened a door nnd looked out. "Have you seen Agnes, Puss ?" She had not. I ran to the closet, where her shawl and hood were kept. They were gone. A hot flush shot up, like flame, into my cheeks. My heart throbbed so wildly, I thought for a moment I must suffocate. Yet I wondered at my own agitation. It was not such an unusual thing for the child to go out of the house. AVhy should I feel so uneasy now? I could only feel that it was so, without explaining why it was. I made a hasty survey of the whole house. None of the servants had seen my little girl ; she was nowhere to be found upon the premises. The wind was blowing a gale now, and the clouds were ns black

as if choked with a deluge they were about to

pour upon us. I could see the waves dashing wildly upon the lake, shaking their foamy crests over the rocks which bound the shore. Looming high above them all. like some gigantic priest

of Nature standing on the shore preaching to those

rebellious waters, rose the gloomily grand pro

portions ol Black Hock. As my eyes fell upon

it, a fearful dread entered my soul. Summoning the servants I sped away, bidding them follow me ; and, heedless of the rough path and the wild winds, I rushed up the craggy steep, struggling to gain the summit, whilst the wind, blowing furiously in shore, thwarted my every effort. 1 was about to relinquish the attempt, when something fluttering on a withered shrub above me caught my gaze. It was a tangled bunch of blue fringe. I knew where that came from. I knew whose little scarf had caught

there and left those tangled threads. With a wild energy, which outstripped the most earnest efforts of those who followed me, I clambered up, up, and stood at last upon the very pinnacle alone. Yes, ulunt ! do not mind it that I utter that

dreary shriek with the word ; it will rise when I remember with what wild hope I struggled to that fearful height and found no little Agnes there. She had been there, though, for on the branch of a low thorn bush, under which some blue-eyed l owers still bloomed, was a thin tress of sunny hair a little golden curl to which the cruel thorn had clung and held, to meet a mother's gaze. What must I believe? . How much had I to fear, how much to hope ? Had she gone safely down as she came up. Had she wandered over the lowlands, or, horror of horrors ! had she fallen over the cliff's into those wild waves below ! The little shreds of blue silk, the little tress of hair plainly proved she had been to the uttermost height of the fearful crag. Was she alone, had she disobeyed iny injunctions never to come here by herself? As I stood breasting the wind in this agony of doubt, my eyes were sweeping the climbing waters below me, and just as the servants joined me I described upon the comb of a distant wave a floating object, something which might be a drifting' log or a little boat. I pointed it out.to the rest.

"It is a boat," ci ied John the gardener, as it rose again, "that little nutshell of a thing which the Mayor kept moored here for his boys. I know her by the queer gunwale and the scarlet flag she carries." What did the little boat hold for us that kept us watching there, when we knew not yet of our lost one ? We were all transfixed by one wild fear; evidently the frail boat was managed by some one who understood his Work. Who would have gone forth in such a gale, but old Bartlemy Boyd? Wasourlost darling with him? Iremember that as the little plank rose and disappeared, and rose again on the foamy waves, bow all of earth seemed 'to melt away, and all liie world revolve into one little fragile speck upon an angry sea ! One more wave, and now wo could see the boat contained two persons one an old man with gray locks, the other a fragile, pallid little child, silling in the stern, her apron

full of forgotten wild flowers, and her shining hair wet with the dashing water. "Ropes, John !" I cried, "be quick ; no boat can live in yonder surf. Fly ! your fortune is. niade if you will return in time." "I stood, fascinated, gazing at my little one, soalmly facing her fearful danger. I could not go down to the beach I could not lose sighl of her long enough for .that. J could see the old man's efforts to keep his boat out to sea. What avail was that feeble strength against the wind and waves ! I saw his look of blank dismay as he found his little boat rushing into the surf. He turned and said something to Agnes. She shook her head in answer and smiled. I knew, as well as though I heard her, that she had told him she was not afraid. He dropped the oars

and caught the child in his arms ; the next mo

ment and the boat was in pieces, and my child, my darling, struggling iu the white waves in the arms of a madman 1 How I shrieked, how I raved 1 Far out in the boiling water ran John with ropes, casting them towards those frantic arms which made no eff ort to reach them. Like a green monster came rushing a huge, dark wave ; for n moment it

ber that my little girl went away from me with great clusters of just such curls, and occasionally when the sun is going down, long golden bands come reaching through my window, and I know my little darling is straightening her bright curls and laying them thus from the sunset to me, that I may go out over the shining pathway to her heaven. A Hunter after Office Treed.

As the time for the new Xdmfnrstration ap

proached, the crowds who thronged Washington increased. Those who make them tire nol altogether disinterested. Same are on office bent. Curious ways some of them have of finding out where best to drive their stakes that's so what post would best suit their genius. It has even come to this: that some have gone so far as to look into the different Departments in advance, and to make inquiry of the incumbent clerks as to the probable time, &c, of his decease as such. An instance of this kind happened the other day at the Patent Office. Along, slab-sided, rickety, carroty-topped individual from "Neiew England," with the richest. Yankee paloie, walked into the library of the Patent Office, presided over by Professor J illson, late of Columbia College, an urbane gentleman, fine scholar, no politician, but with a sense of humor. "Wa'al, stranger, kin I look't books here?

'spose they're public propty.

"Certainly, said the 1 rolessor, "what book would you desire?" And the Professor marched toward the cases

of heavy French and German tonus which he has

to silt for the benefit of our inventors.

"Wa'al, I'd like to see the book they call the Bletie Book.'" "Ah, sir; I'm sorry we havn't it here. You

are at liberty to read any of the books which we

have. "Fact is, I want to find out the best bearlh I kin; expectin' Mr. Linkin to put me in when he comes into power. I rayther like this bearth, stranger; 'spose you don't 'spect to stay, hey?

What s the salary V Couldn t you let me know as to the dooties?" "I am sorry, friend, to say the salary hardly pays for the duties. It is only what you would earn on a cornfield out west." "Never mind that; what's the dooties? Think I kin doo 'cm?" "I am not well enough acquainted with your acquirements to answer. First, I have to keep an eye to all the books here." "Wa'al, that's not so hard; guess I could do

that well as any. "Next, have to make indexes and rend proof

of patent reports. "That would come, I guess, by a little practice." "Then," said the Professor, with a merry twinkle, "I have to translate, for the use of the office, from these books, most of which I have to commit to memory; and from the various ancient and modern languages, including Sanscrit, Hebrew, Hindoo, Swedish, French, German, Choctaw, Kickapoo" Before the suave Professor had finished his inventory, his office-seeking interlocutor had his hat on, and precipitated himself into the corridor, with a hasty "That'll do, stranger. Good day."

t it had fallen like Scurtain before the stage, shut- ! ting from my sight a little whitened face and a ! head of golden hair ! j I have a faint remembrance of seeing that face ! once again ; it was ashen pale, and as cold as a I snow-drift. Perhaps it was all a dream, and I j never did really see it again. I remembered, though, my bitter burning regret and agony, when I recollect my refusal to gratify any of j those little childish pleadings that morning, one ' of which, cordially granted, would have kept my i darling by me that terrible day. I know my rei morse was no dream. It is my most intense rei alily yet. Do you wonder thatl wake up scream- ; ing in the night, or that I occasionally shriek i aloud in the day time ? I thought when I first ! came here and heard such shouts of horrid laughter, and shrieks so much louder than any j of my own, I thought that they had brought me i to a mad-house. I rebelled frantically, but I I saw, after a moment's rt flection, how absurd my i suspicions were 1 This is a large, handsome I building a great resort for invalids and sorrowing people who need a change of scene. My I rooms command a lovely prospect my harp and piano are here. A faithful attendant walks or drives out with me every day. I could not be better eared for. On rainy days, when the sky is gray and the wind is cold, I sit and stroke this little sunny curl gathered from the thorn bush high up the beetling cliff. I twine it around my finder. I let it coil itself in the reveling sunshine when it pierces the clouds, and bind it about with this bit of blue fringe, which was torn from her silken sash. I always feel a sweet pleasure in thus contemplating these frail treasures left me of Agnes ; only when my heart swells till it bursts with those relieving shrieks, do I let them

lav them out of mv hands. Sometimes I re mem -

. Delaware Law Case, Some years ago, in Newcastle county, Delaware, an Irishman was knocked down and robbed.

He accused a man of having committed the

robbery, and in due time the case came to trial. The Irishman being upon the stand, was cross-

examined, after having; sworn positively to the

guilt of the prisoner, by 'one of the keenest law

yers, and something like the following was the

result :

"You say that the prisoner at the bar is the

man who assaulted and robbed you; "Yes."

"Was it moonlight when the occurrence took

place?" . "Divil a hit iv it." "Was it starlight?"

"Not a whit; it was so dark that you could not

see your hand before you.

"Was there any light shining from any house

near by . . ' .' ... ' "Divil a bit iv a house was there anywhere about."

"Well, then, if there was no moon, stars nor

light from any house, and so dark that you could not see your hand before you, how are you able to swear that the prisoner was the man? How could you see him?" "Why, yer honor, when the spalpeen struck me, the fire flew out ov me eyes so bright, you might, have seen to pick up a pin, you might." The court, jury, counsel and spectators exploded with mirth at this quaint idea, and the prisoner was directly after declared not guilty. All Sorts of Paragraphs, As no man is a hero to his valet, so no woman

is a beauty to her maid.

A man never pays such usurious interest on a

debt as when he borrows trouble.

An elk can run a mile and a half in two min

utes; an antelope a mile in a minute, and the wild mule of Tartary has a speed even greater than

that.
