I had married ami was going to make my fortune, and therefore (having that laudable end in fiew) left a good situation in Yorkshire to settle down in Liverpool as a merchant " on my own account," and enmmenre to make it w:'hout delay. I had not much capital, and so resolved to economize at first. In course of time I imagined the tidy broujzham and the country house across the Mersey would certainly come ; and one serene September evening, many years ago, I was walking up and down St. (forge's landin i--stage building castles ia the air, wondering whether rents were high at New Brighton, and whether Kate won!,! prefer a pony phaeton to a brougham. I am not sorry to add that I still reside in a modest house up Edge Hill way. and that I come to business as Cnesar went to lime, according to Joe Miller, " SOnuna diligentia," on the top of an omnibus I was waiting for Mr. Moss Moses to return to his office in a street hard by, call it Mersey Street, and for the reason that Mr. Moss Moses had a furnished nlare to let which his advertisement called 6 two spacious counting-rooms," good- ; ness knows l nevur counted much there in the shape of coin ; and I did not like the situation ; nor the narrow, dark staircase ; nor the look of the boy of Hebrew extraction who bawled 44 Cub id," when I knocked, and told me. "Mr. Boges would 1 id at eight o'clock :" but twenty-five pounds ? year was very cheap, so 1 told my j'oung friend I would call at that time, ad look at the "counting-rooms." How well I remember that night ! The ferry-boats from the Cheshire shore gliding along with their lights twinkling like Lriv-worms, the vast hull of the Great K i-tern just visible in the Sloyne, the squared yards, and all a tout look of a seventy four of the old school, showing black and distinct against the daffodil sky, and the lap of the swell against the under timbers of the stage I was inclined to be sentimental: but Mr. Moss Moses claimed my attention, and once more I cnt red his office and found him .iting me. He was a little, fat, goodtempered Jew, who spoke decent ringHan : and who, I afterward found out, was constantly affirming in season, and out of season, that he was no descendant of Abraham. "Ilido, Brunton f" he cried, jumping from his chair. 44 My lad told me you'd been ; where have vou been these two months and more? Look here, old fellow, I've advertised your place: but you can have it on the old terms." 44 Some mistake, sir, I believe"; and I h inded him a card bearing the inscription M Charte Barker." He took it and held it to the gaslight, looked at the back, considered it endways, and pondered over it upside down. Then taking the candle his clerk had brought, beld it close to my face. "If you are not disposed to proceed to hnsfoess, wji bi,j you good night," said 1, greatly annoyed at his manner. 44 It's him, and it ain't him," he said, aluid; 41 Carl never could look a man in the race as this one does. And yet I don't see my way through the features." " There is no necessity for you to trouble yourself about my features!" I 'aimed, opening the door 44 good night." " Stop stop, my, good sir! and don't be off ruled. Jt was a mistake. All Isaac's mi-take, upon my honor." " All a bistake," echoed young Isaac. My curiosity was excited, and, besides, I really wanted the offices ; and I theretire allowcl myself to be persuaded into j mounting the narrow staircase, until we faced a door bearing the name of Brunton on it in white letters, and having the two upper panels glazed, more, I should imagine, to supply light to the staircase than for admission of light to the office. Mr. Moss produced a key and turning to me with a good-natured smile, said, 44 I'd have sworn you were Brunton five minutes MMjn. but I am sure now that I was wrong. Carl always swore as he came up stairs, an 1 v .u haven't. It's Brunton's face all but the eyes, and I'd swear to the eyes any where. That is, to the twiukle of era, you know." i door and invited i And he unlocked the me within. Walking to a tfble on which he had placed the light, I took a chair, and produced my pocket-book. 41 Before we go further, Mr. Moss, let us quite understand each other. I have no w -li to derive any benefit from any fiftoes Mr. Brunton may possess, and I am going to convince you that I am what I represent myself to be. Be good enough to read that letter " It WM one from a merchant in the n rth, only received that morning, and mentioned circumstances which w re sufficient to settle any doubts aa to my identity. Sir. Moss read it, folded it up briskly, ai.d presented it to me with a bow. 44 Sir, I apologize. I confess that up to this moment I fancied it was Carl; hut what puzzled me was, that such a surly fellow should take to larking and playing i it tool. You are very much like my last tenant, sir, that is all.' 44 Very well ; now that matter is settled, let us look at the rooms." The lighted gas showed me a large one and very barely furnished. There was a large leather-covered table with a desk on it, four chairs, an inkstand, and a partially filled waste-paper basket, and that was all. " Kather meagre, Mr. Moss." 44 Now, my dear sir, what more could you want? Would you like a safe? I've rot one to spare down stairsaod you shall have it, and a new mat for your feet, there now, I hate haggling. 44 Let me see the other room, pleaae." It was one which a person sitting at the table would have right opposite to him. ar d it had no door. 44 It was a clerk's trice," Mr Moss said, "and you wanted your eye on such cnaps. i suggested that the principal might sometimes want privacy, whereupon re saw ne nau tüe door down stairs and it should be hung' at once if I wished it." But having no j intention of engaging a clerk at present I told him it was ot no consequence. The room was about half the aize of the tmh r one, and contained a desk and stool, There was a large closet for coals and suchlike matters, and a good allowance of dust and cobwebs, all over. " 111 havs it cleaned up to morrow," I - . - 1 tt . . .

The

VOLUME XV. said Mr. Moss. "It looks beautiful when clean, and you'll find the desk to be real Spanish mahogany." TIk'v w uld suit me well enough, and I told Mr. Moss so; paid him a quarter's rent in advance, and rose to depart. "0, by the way, Mr. Moss," I exclaimed, a sudden thought striking me; 44 1 will send a man to paint my name on the door, and on the wall down stairs." " Very good, sir ; I would do it at once if I were you. Carl was a loose fish, and if you delayed it until you got here you might de annoyed." 44 How so? What was he?" M Take a cigar first, Mr. Harker, you'll find no better in Liverpool. Lord ! how like him yon do look when I don't see your eyes ! " "And yet I have not been thought to resemble a loose fish before, Mr. Moss." 44 1 didn't mean that. Have you never seen an ugly person resemble a very handsome one ? I have many a time. Well, about Carl ; he was here about two years, and call me a Jew if I could reckon him up. He used to come here about noon, aiid work up to eight or nine o'clock at night ; but what business he worked at I could never find out. I know he had a big ledger, and two or three such books ; but a big ledger won't make a business any more than a big carpet-bag will, and he always carried one. He would come and smokt a ngar with me now anil then; but I never came up here during all that time, and he kept this door locked. He always seemed expecting a blow, did poor Carl, more like a rat in a corner than anything else, poor beggar! Well, sir, one morning I found the key on my mat, and found the place just as you see it, and have never seen Carl since. One or two queer-looking men have inquired about him, and asked it he was coming back, and I eaid most likely he would, and likely enough he will." 44 2s ot at all an interesting story," I thought, and I felt inclined to yawn in Mr Moss's face ; but I thanked him for his information, and promised to take possession in three days, which I spent, in presenting my letters of introduction, and making other arrangements for the prosecution of my p'ans. At length tue eventful day arrived, and I stood iu my own office, with my name emblazoned on the door and passage wall. I vas waiting tor a friend to call on me (Who, by the way, had promised to pul me in the way of doing some business tnat very day), and felt impatient for his ar nn.imuu8nuimi fhe office was clean and tidy, and the floors had been well scrubbed. Why hadn't they emptied the waste paper basket of all that lumber ? The office-keeper had lighted a fire, am' I tooic up the basket to perform the opera tion myself ; but trom some cause or other I placed it on the table and began idly to burn the scraps, one by one. I had nearly disposed ot them all when a scrap attracted my attention and I read it. It was torn so as to leave a lew words iutact, and it ran thus : 44 Louise has given your description, and you may rely on our finding you. Forwj the plates at once, or" en another piece of mysterious t T, apparently a plan of some place or Ji r. hat did this mean? . at I had no time to consider, for my friend entered, and putting the two piec es of paper in my drawer, I emptied the basket in the Ore, and went out wit M do a good day's work. Returning late in the evening, I relit the tire, and addressed myself to the writing of two important letters to be posted by 11:30 that night, in order to be in time for the Cunard liner, which sailed early in the morning ; and then it was that the black darkness of the doorless room opposite to me began to trouble me most, It had troubled me before, hut on this night it troubled me tenfold. From childhood I have been imaginative, and knowing this, I stirred the fire, called myself an ass, and went on with my letter. Hut not lor long. My eyes wandered to the black darkness of the doorway, and I bgan to ransack my memory for statistics of men who could tell by some occult power if any one were hidden in the room they entered ; and I laughed aloud when I remembered that I had read of one sensitive gentleman, who by this s one occuit sense had tound that a surgeon's skeleton was in a closet behind him. 1 own I dislike being in the dark, but I wiil do myself the justice to say that I have resolution enough to overcome the dislike. Therefore I proposed to myself to very quietly walk into the dark room which troubled me (and without a light), look out of the windows, and slowly return. I went, the very first step beyond the threshold dispelled my fears. I could see the glimmer of the stars through the glas, hear the rattle of the cabs outside. Why, it was quite a cheerful place, after all ! Ha! there was a shuflling noise there by the closet, and then my tears returned and overpowered me. 1 strove to walk out like a tragedy hero ; but my pace qoiefceaed as I aesurad the door, and heard the shuffling noise close to me, and Ihe next moment a powerful hand was at my throat, and helplerj on the floor with the cold muzzle of a pistol pressed to my head, I was bound and dragged into the outer office, thrust into my chair and confronted by two quiet looking men, one of whom laid his revolver on the table, saying at the same time with an ugly sneer, 44 So, Brunton, we have canght you at last." a The speaker wasa mild, intelligent-looking man of about thirty five. In a proper dress he would have looked like a HighChurch clergyman. His companion was wvidently a foreigner, and I imagine a German. He was about fifty years of age, and wore spectacles, and a profusion of berd and whiskers covered more than half his face. But he had a winning smile and good teeth, which he often took an opportunity of showing. 44 We have found you at last." I am thankful to say that I am not, nervous when I see a danger, and I boldly replied 44 My name is Harker and not Brunton ; Mr. Moss, the landlord of these premises, has noticed my resemblance to his late tenant, and is satisfied that I am not the same. Depend upon it that I shall make you repent this outrage." I tried to rise to call for help from the street, but the pistol was cocked and pointed at me, and there was that in the man's face which cautioned me against rashness in my heJpletl position. "I will sit down," I replied, "and hear what you have to say; but if I choose to d it I shall do my best to raise an alarm in spite of your revolver." 41 Veil spoke, Carl," said the foreigner; 44 Louise always say he wasa plucky one." 44 Now then, Brunton," whispered the other, "let us have no nonsense. We have not met before, it is true, but Louise has so we'l described you, that putting another name on your door was pimply idiotic. Besides, one of ours has watched for your return, aad we communicated with htm directly we landed. Go free if you like, but we will have the plats." " uai s tne matter vid n " .ehd tu 1 " 'V. , uv German ; 44 ve vill have the plates " 4 I know nothing of any plates," I cried nor of Louise, nor of you. All I know is, that you will see the inside of a prison very shortly." "And you think you can throw us, throw me over in this way ! Do you think you deal with children T ,f " I think I deal with a burglar. Most certainly with a rascal of some sort or otaepf"

Here mv two friends held a whispered conference. Then he of the revolver turned sharply towards me. "Will yon marrv Louise will you give up the plate, and marry ray sister?" 44 She lofe you like old boots," added the German ; and from which I opine that he prided himself on a knowledge of En glish idiom. In spite of my serious position I was getting thoroughly amused. The dark doorway heM unknown terrors to my ex cited imagiration ; but two commonplace fellows who had made a mistake only caused a feeling of merriment, even in spite of the revolver. 44 1 am sorry I cannot oblige you." I re plied. M I am flattered by the lady's pref erence ; but having one wife already. fear I must decline taking a second; and as for the plates, please explain what you mean. The answer to this flippant speech was a blow on the face, which sent the blood streaming on the floor. 44 You'll remember insulting the sister of Louis Orloff! Here, Baron, let us gag him, and search; he will be raising an alarm presently. They thrust, a piece of rope between mv teeth, compressing mv windpipe to make me open my mouth ; and there I sat, helpless, whilst they turned out the contents of my desk and drawers, not for getting my cash-box, which was opened with a key taken from my waistcoat pocket, and the contents appropriated. Knowing that, the two scraps of paper I had found in the waste-paper basket, and placed in my drawer, must have reference to their visit, I watched very anxiously when they opened it. But they escaped notice, and I felt that I had got someciew to the mystery, even if these men cs caped ; and I had quite determined that they should not escape, for I was insecurely bound, and had been working hard to get my right hand free, and, thanks to having a very narrow one, I now found myself able to slip it through the loop which encircled my wrist ; but I 44 bided my time," for 1 saw that a false move might bring a bullet through my head. 44 De plates is in ze oder room, Carl Brunton, mon ami," paid the Baron, smiling and patting my shoulder. 44 Vy not say ! Vy shoot w you ? You do dem so well, we no get any like dem. And you use dem yourself, and den, Ach Gott ! you upset de cart of de apple." 44 Yes," I thought ; 44 and it's odd to me if I don't upset your cart of de apple before long." 44 In dare ; in back room P aked the Baron, with another amiable smile. I said 44 Yes," with my eyes. "8ee now, my Louis, you were too rough. You into him pitch like dam. So see him amiable." Then to me "And you vill marry Louise, who lofe you like old boots?" My other hand was free now. I tried to speak, and implored with my eyes for the gag to be removed. The Baron removed it and while doing so I resolved on a plan f operations.! 44 You will marry Louise and give us the plates?" 44 1 will give you every satisfaction." 44 That is business." said Louis Orlotl, coming forward. 44 First the plates. Then you return with us to New i ork, and keep your promise to Louise. Why give us this trouble I I tell you frankly that the expense will be deducted from your ein-, na that yon wil be strict'v watched in future. I should have cut your throat but for my promise to EjOttiae. Now, where are the plates?" 44 Look in the closet in the next room ; rake out the coals, and take what you find." 44 Good. Come, Baron." And they left me to operate on the coals. Springing up, I seized the revolver, darted to the door and in a moment had locked them in. But my triumph was of short duration ; for Orloff was on the other side like lightning, the rotten woodwork tore out under his vigorous wrench, and his hand was on ray throat before I could grope my way to the stairs. Then I knew that life depended on the struggle, and I fought like one possessed for the revolver. The Baron came to his friend's help ; but I found time and opportunity to send him reeling to the ground. Orloff was the weaker man, but he outdid me in skill ; and a dexterous feint threw me off my guard, leaving the revolver in his hands. Purple with passion, he fired instantly, and I felt a sharp sting In my left shoulder; and then all earthly things seemed to be fading away, and a world beyond opening to view. When I recovered, T found myself laid on a mattress on the ofllec table, and my wife tearfully bending over me. There was a calm faced snrgeon, too, who showed me the ball he had extracted, and told me to cheer up, for I should be better in a few days, tor no damage waa done. Mr. Moss was there too, and came to my bed I mean my table-side and whispered how he had been called up by the police, who, hearing a pistol-shot, had come upstairs and arrested Or'.ofl" and the Baron, and, rinding me on the ground bleeding, had sent for a surgeon and my wife, having found my private address from a letter in my pocket. I was only faint from loss of blood ; the bullet did little damage, and I preferred getting up, and then gave an account of the evening's adveniure, not noticing at the time that a tall inspector of police was in the room. 44 Will you kindly show me those pieces of paper?" he sid, advancing. 44 1 have the men in Mr. Moss's office; but beyond the assault on you I have no evidence against them ; but I know them well." I produced them, and the inspector fastened on the or.e which seemed to be a plan, then looking around, said : 44 This is a plan of your office." 41 Call me a .lew if it ain't!" exclaimed Mr Moss, taking it. 44 Yes, it is certainly a plan of your office. See, here is the doorway, and there comes the other room. Then there is a cross against the fireplace in this room, on what I judge from the lines to mean the fourth board from the hearthstone, and another cross against the sixth from the hearthstone in the other room. Get a crowbar, Mr. Moss." "There's one down stairs " I do believe that i4 you'd asked for a crocodile he would have got one 44 down stairs." ( 'row bar and a policeman to wield it were soon produced, and then the mystery was unravelled. Close to where I sat were unearthed several copper plates for the forging ol Russian rouble notes of various amounts ; and in the hack room, under the Mooring, were found several hundred of well executed forgeries carefully soldered up in a tin case, together with correspondence implicating Orloff Md the Baron. It appeared that Brunton was engaged by a New York gang to engrave the plates, and that he had never seen his employers, the agent between them being the Louise before mentioned, whose fair hand I had been compelled to decline. Brunton had evidently become frightened, and had fled, lie was no traitor, or he would have decamped with the plates. Perhaps the dread of having to espouse Lou-se may have had to do with his flight. She was a very handsome woman, if I may judge from a photograph of her found in the tin case, but looked like one accustomed to rule, and who would not hesitate toadminister wholesome correction to her spouse. Assisted inta a carriage which -iras waiting, I had the aatisfaction of seeing the

Baron and Orloff brought down in hand cuffs, the Baron regarding me with sweet smile, and Orion scowling on me like a tiend. I did not prosecute, for they were so well known to the nonce as forgers, that there was evidence enough for the Russian hmbassy to procure a conviction and a sentence of ten years penal servitude ; and in due time I re covered, and dismissed the matter from mv mind. But I had not heard the last of it. About twelve months after the trial and condem nation of the Baron and his friend there came one night a timid knock at my office door, and mv clerk (for I had such a luxu ry then) ushered in what, at first sight, seemed to be a moving bundle of rags Strictlv speaking, the bundle of rags in sisted on seeing me, and ushered itself in, spite of all remonstrances. It came and stood before me, and re solved itselt into the resemblance ot a man a man lean, haggard, 'tinken-eyed, ragged, and dirty, but with a face some thing like my own ; and without putting a question, I knew that I stoo l face to face with Carl Brunton, and I addressed the rags by that name. 44 1 took that name," the poor, shivering thing replied, 44 but my nsme is bmt no matter. May I speak to you ? M Yes, go on." 44 Will vou give me some drink first? have had none to day, and I feel delirium tremens coming on. O, how cold it is, ami howl shiver! I sent the clerk for some brandy, which he took raw, and with shaking hand held out the gla;s for more. 44 1 imagine it is Mr. Moss you want to see. is it not If so, you will find him to morrow, at ten o'eloek." "iNo, no, you, you 1 want i i am very poor, very poor. Will you give me sixpence ? I KMC him half a crown. 44 Now what can I do for you?" 44 1 I left some property here when I went away. You won't refuse to give it up ! I seem poor, but I am rich ah ! so rich! and I will pay you well." 44 Vou mean the forged rouble-notes and the plate you engraved them from?" 4lAh! Who told you that? Then you have found them, and used them? I ian away from them, and wished to h ad a better life, but they drew me back ; and now you have robbeo me, and I shall starve." I explained to the poor wretch what had become of his possessions, and how they were found, and inquired if ho had not heard of his accomplices. 44 No; I have been wandering about the country, living in hospitals and work houses, because they hunt me down from place to place. They will kill me as they killed the Poson Jew and the engraver at Stockholm, all because they demand a dr share. They are dogging me to-night one of them is outside now. Let me fee, what did I come here for? 0, sixpence. Lend me sixpence; I'll give you a hundred pounds for it to morrow." I made a further donation, and, as the man w is evidently in a state of delirium, I told my cierk to fetch a medical man. Hut before he could execute the order, the bundle of rags crept down the narrow stairs, sitting on each step, and wriggling bv aid of his hands to the next below, whdst we, unable to pass him, looked on, wondering how it would all end. The street gained, he stood upright, and, Casting a terrified glance around, fled awav into the darkness, and we,followio in Hm ÄWtrai liort t.b.,". loaMied shortly afterwards that a beggar bad thrown himself into the Mersey from St. George's landing-stage, and had sunk to rise no more. His body was never found, and I, having had enough of Mersey Str3et, moved my quarters, much to the regret of Mr. Moss, for, quoth he, 41 Two of 'em are at Portland, and another at the bottom of the river; so you may call me a Jew if any one troubles you again." But I went ; and the office is still without a tenant, and I shudder when I pass through ihe street at night, and, looking up, see the two black shining windows, like two great eyes watching me, and fancy I can see a shadowy form in rags, pressing its face to the glass, and gibbering and mowing at the busy stream of human life which surges to and fro forever. London Society. A Brave Girl. OOM heroine lived in Bartlctt, New Hampshire, and was a descendant of the old Crawforda Her father was a Craw for i, and followed the profession of a guide among the mountains. Her name was Bessie, and she was the only daughter remaining at home a dark-eyed, brown haired girl, ot slight but compact flfl me, just entering her nineteenth year. Her mother had been dead several years, and upon her devolved the whole care of the household. One day, late in summer, Mr. Crawford went, with a party of travelers, away to the head waters of one of the many mountain streams that empty into Saco, and Bessie was left alone. Even the dogs had all gone with the pleasure seekers. N' ar the middle of the afternoon, while the girl was sitting by an open window in the front room, engaged in sewing, a man came up from the road and asked her if she would give him a drink of water. I Jessie had seen this man before, and had not liked his looks. He was a stout, broad shouldered, ill-favored fellow, and the bits of moss and spikes of the pines upon his clothes indicated that he had slept in the WOOdflL But Bessie did not hesitate. She laid aside her work and went to get the water. When she came back, the man had entered the room. She did not like this, for she was sure he had come in by the window ; but she handed him the tin dipper without remark. The man drank, and then set the dipper down upon tue table. Then he turned upon the girl, and drewja broad-bladed knife from his pocket. 44 Look ye, my young lady," he said, 44 1 know there is money in this house; and I know that you are alone, öhow me where the money is! If you don't, I shall ki 1 you, and then hunt it up myself! I'm in earnest, and there is no time to waste. Don't make a fuss, for if you do, you'll feel this knife quick !" Hes.ie shrank back, and looked into the man's face, and she could see that he meant just what he said. 44 If I show you where the money is, will you promise not to do me -harm?" 44 Show me, honest, and I won't harm you." 44 Then come with me. But you will take only the money you won't take my lather's paper's." 44 Only the money, girl." Bessie led the way to a small bedroom on the ground floor, where there was an old mahogany bureau, the upper drawer of which she unlocked. The man, when he saw this, thinking doubtless that Crawford's fold was within his grasp, shut up tits nife and put it into his pocket. The girl opened the drawer, and, quick as thought, drew forth a Innre navy revolver one with which she herself had killed a trapp "d bear and cocked it. "Villain?" she exclaimed, planting her back againft the wall, and aiming the weapon at hit bosom, " many a wild least have I shot with this good pistol, and I'll now shoot you if you do not instantly leave this house! I will give not even a second ' Start, or I tire P The ruffian could rend human looks as well as could the maiden, and he could read very plainly in the firm-set lips and in the flashing eye but more clearly in the steady hand which held the pistol that he would not only flre as she had

promised, but her aim would be a sure and fatal one.' And he backed out from the bed-room backed into the sitting-room then leaped from the open window and disappeared Bessie kept her pistol by her side until her father and his guests came home; and when she had told her story, search was made for the rufrUn. But he was not found. Our heroine had so thoroughly frightened him that he never came that way again. Legal Advice. A gentleman ordered a suit of clothes from a tailor, and specially enjoined him that they must be made by the next Tuesday, and must be made in the finest style, and that unless the tailor could have them ready to a certainty beyond a paradventure to the day, that he must not undertake them ; but Snip promised faithfully that they would be finished. Tuesday came and no clothes; the enraged man flew to the cabbage man's house and said : 44 What's the reason my clothes are not ready as ou promised? Here you have kept me in the city at a loss of "time and business only to disappoint me ; now, if we had jou in our part of the country, I tell you what they would call you : they woe. M say you were a perfect squirt." The humble knight of the goose expiated that the only competent workman that he had, capab'e of making the suit, had a wife lying at death's door, and he could not possibly leave her. The outraged tgentleman was not able to smother his disappointment, and berated the tailor pretty soundly for failing in his positive promise.

Well, my opinion and advice to you is, don't do it. There is, moreover, no statute or local law that can compel you to a specific peiformance. I say, don t you uo it. Bird-Singing. People who have been born and bred in the city know nothing oi bird-song, eicept as they hear canaries or other feathered prisoners sing from cages, who sing for a living. This, indeed, is not to be despised, but it is not the singing of the free wild birds. P!ven thngn wVir II In tho mimtrv col. dorn .ear birus sing at tüeu w-.. p; i are in bed when the great concert comes off. During May and June, birds wake about half-past 3 to 4 o'clock in the morn ing. Even if one goes to sleep again it is worth his while to be awakened to bear this wonderful outburst. There is noth ing else in all the common phenomena of nature that seems so admirable and so in creasingly interesting as this. Birds do not sing alike at all hours of the day. An attentive ear will notice not only very different strains, but a verv different spirit. The mid day singing is casual, not prolonged, a mere interjection here and there. They sing, as it were, to while away a little time. At evening, birds sing next in duration and effect to the morning song, but more tender, less tumultuous. It is in the morning that one must hear them, who would know the full ecstacy. It is very still. The dew lies heavy on all things. In the east the light is com ing fast, and twilight every moment gains new radiance. Not, a sound gives warning of any coming song. Far off one hears the hoarse hawk of a goose, or the bark of a dog disturbed by some early traveler. Then one hears a single call note, as if the chorister were calling attention and giving out the pitch. It is answered in an inquiring way by another bird, as much as to say, 44 We are all ready; shall we begin ?" Then one launches out, but has not uttered two syllables before a score of birds strike !n, and then, from the fields, the forest edges, from orchards and gardens, from the ground, the fences and the air, there comes such a Babel of sweet sounds, running into each other, clashing, overlaying and surging together, that one cannot distinguish any single songster note, but only a wild mingling of hundreds of birds, all singing at the very top of their power, as if tired by an ecstacy of gladness. This great gush of song lasts from twenty minutes to half an hour, and then ceases almost as simultaneously as it oegan. The birds seem then to occupv themselves with their toilet and breakfast. After which, but In a far less general way, they sing again off and on for an hour or two. Then they scatter and pursue the regular business ot the day, singing but little until toward evening, unless the day be clouded. If the morning is overcast birds do not have their grand song But if on such days the noon be clear or tending to clear up, birds become quite vocal. Sunlight has much to do with their disposition to sing. The electrical condition of the atmosphere, it is probable, has much to do with inspiration of song. While it is true that all song birds have their greatest impulse of song at morning and evening, there is a great difference among birds as to intermediate hours. The meadow lark, the bobolink, the fieldsparrow, song-sparrow, linnets and finches, sing far more frequently during the day than do many others. The minor and domestic notes of birds are full as noticeable, though perhaps, not as pleasureable as their true song. If one will wander into the fields and hide himself on the verge of an open forest, or along walls well fringed with shrubs and vines, or in garden or orchard where birds resort, he will have an opportunity of hearing many conversations which, if he could interpret them, would show what is going on in birds' minds. There are low notes of various kin Is that are to birds what conversation is to men. They are expressions of loudness, of caution, and of alarm. There are cal. notes, notes of c iriosity, coaxing notes, notes of aversion, of fear, and of displeasure. There is no reason to suppose that, bir's communicate connected ideas as men do, but that their feelings and wiphes are communicated by MBU, there can be no doubt. It is an inarticulate and int'-rj actional language, and not at all to be confounded with song. The tendency to express inward states of feeling is clearly diseernable among birds atid animals, and although it is the men st rudiment, it see ns like the unde veloped germ of that which has grown to vast proportions in the human race. lUfcheiin Christian Union.

I shall be glad when I am tall enough for you to take my arm ;" aud Ernest straightened himself proudly, and looked as much like a man as he possibly could. Mrs. Fletcher had been ill. For several weeks she had not left her bed, and th. house had to be kept quite still, for f. ... of her being disturbed. The doctor can to see her every day, and for a long time he always went awav with a very grave face, for she seemed to g,-t ayone vet, id of better. Hut at length, when Emeri had feared and prayed, and waited for a long time, a change took place, and the doctor g face looked brighter, and he told the nurse that he thought Mrs. PletctM r would recover now, if great care was taken. She soon told Ernest, for she knew that he loved his mother, and he was so glad and thanktul that hü could not say so often enough. Mrs. Fletcher had no daughters, and only one son. It would have been very sad indeed if he had been a bad boy But he was too fond of his mother for that ; he loved her so well that for FaCf sake he tried to do right always; and though that was not the best motive BC could have had, it was one which all bOfl should feel. Ernest waited upon his mother as quietly and tenderly as a girl could have done it. He brought ht r fresh spring rlowers, primroses and violets, and every thing he could find. With his own pock et money he bought her aome orangea aad grapes, and any nice tiling he fancied she would like. As soon as she was well enough to listen, he brought a boot, and sat by her bedside reading it to her ; aud when she was tired he sat quite still, and did not disturb her. When he had learned any fresh p eces to sing, he gang to himower, anu ir anvthing happened that he tnoutrhr she would iiki- to hi nr ,.- o . told her. ' The boys wondered that Ernest did not come out to ply more frequently, but he was quite happy to etay M ith his dear mother. 44 You arc the best mother in all the world," he said, 44 and I would rather not leave you." Uut the very happiest time was when Mrs. F. was well enough to take a short walk. As she was still verv feeble and weak, she Mated Ernest to go with h r. and it was then that he said, 44 Lean on me, mother." They did not walk far, but Emthought a good deal. It was so nice to feel his dear mother leaning upon him, that he thanked God who had spared her, and he made a resolution which he in tended to keep. It was that, whatever else he failed in, and he would do his Ik -d in all respects, he would nevrr be anv other than kind and loving to his motlu i She noticed how quiet he was, and spoke to him presently. 44 What are you thinking of. Ernest 44 1 am thinking that 1 should like to h mother's staff as long as I live " He said. 44 If you remain ;ts you are BOS7, mv son. I thinK you will be," said his mother. "I hope that God will spare you to become a good man, and to live an upright life, so that your mother may nevei have to weep over your wrong doing. 44 1 hope so too, mother," said Ernest, thoughtfully. This was when he was about ten years old. When he was twelve his father died. It is a sad thing to lose one's tat her, and Ernest felt it so. Hut 1 think it sadder still for some boys when ihe mother dies. Ernest had his mother left, and as he stood by his father's grave he thanked God lor that, 44 Dear mother, she has only me led now," he said to himself. 44 1 will be all I en to her. I will try fed make up a much as possible for my father's los. When he went home he found his mother on the sofa, weeping bitterly. Ernest wmt to her, and put his arms around her, and lifted her head on his shoulder. 44 Dear mother, don't cry," he said. " Lean on me. I will try to he a good son to you always." And his words comforted his im ther, and Blade her JOrrow Ihe easier to btv. Besides, he kept his word. He took his mother out wnei she wished to go; Instayed at home with her when she pre terred doing so. He tavsd her as many steps as he could ; he almost knew what she wanted betöre she asked for it, be cause he watched her so anxiously. She used to say, sometimes, 44 i), Ernest, I do not know what 1 should do w ithout my son." When he was fourteen years old, another trouble happened to his mother. Nearly all the monev that she h.td w:is lost. She had given it to some one to bike care of Ear her, and through some onre lessuess the money was wasted. Mie w is very much distressed about it. 4,I do not know what is to become of us; the money that is left is not BaWBfli to keep us, nn.l I cannot see what we are to do." And again Ernest sa ', 44 Laaa on me, mother dear:" lie left school directly, though he had hoped to stay several years longer, aud then go to college. The idea, however, was given up at once, and Ernest ti ied to get a ituaiion. His teachers all recoinmrnded him, and Ernest had so mauy friend to tpeak gn,d words for him that he had no difficulty. He became a clerk in an ofhYe. At firs'. of course, he did not receive nvtch money, but only a fortnight passed tntore tin gentleman who employed him said 44 He ts ao diligent and clever that he can do a man's work, and, theretore, he shall have a man's salary. " Think of that! He was able to provide his mother with the com torts which she nad been used to, and even more. Gott prospered Ernest Fletcher because he feared Him, and always put his mother first. Once he had a large sum of money offered him if he would go abroad. He thought he would very well like to do so . hut t.t-i mother said she did not wish him

to go, and Ernest gave it op rfindUf. But he lost nothing by it. Whatever he did was successful : nd even whe i I was quite a young man he was able to bnv a carriage for his mother to ride in. He was a very good man, and when his mother grew ouite old she died blessing him. As for Ernest, he lived a great many years, and won the respect and lore of all who knew .him. Do you know why There was one commandment which he never forgot: "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land whieh the Lord thv Ood giveth thee."
