HE GOT A DRINK.

The Robin Was Wise Enough to Just How. That waa a charming object lesson which was noticed -in the yard at the “Hickories,” up Windsor avenue, in Hartford, and it was an instructive lesson in helping oneself as well. Midway between the house and barn is located a large cask as a drinking place for the horses. Usually, of course, this tub is nearly full, but at the time referred to the water lacked quite a little of reaching the top. Along came a robin, spinning over the ground like mad, only stopping for a moment, as is his wont, to listen. Reaching the tub he quickly vaulted to the edge. JLlook of disappointment was visible when he arched his pretty neck so that one eye could look down at the water. It waa too far away and the bird trotted around quite ill at ease. Th® faucet was leaking just a trifle—only a drop at a time—di-op, drop, drop—and the robin’s eye finally caught the crystals and the little fellow almost shouted for joy as he danced -round to that side of the tub. Placing himself directly underneath the outlet, he threw back his head, opened his beak, and thereafter each drop landed in his parched throat. More than a dozen drops disappeared down the narrow channel; then the robin bowed his head just a little, so the cooling drops landed on the top of it and trickled down on either side. Then it flew away to a neighboring tree, as Cohtent and happy g.sif at peace with all the world.

THE GOLD FEVER.

A Remembrance of the Days When It First Struck California. “1 was a resident of San Francisco in 1848 when the gold fever struck that part of the country,” said Matthew 1., j'arrell, one of the pioneers of California, “and it seemed as though all the people went wild with excitement. As soon as it became Tknown fhaUgold had been discovered, men hastened to sell their real estate and merchandise that they might obtain means to journey to the gold diggings. Row boats worth SSO were sold for SSOO to those wishing to sail up the bay into the Sacramento river. The price of shovels and.picks jumped from $1 to $lO. Stores were rummaged for bottles, vials and brass tubes to hold the gold when found. “In less than two months San Franicisco was as if swept by a pestilence; three-fourths of the male population had gone to the mines. Real estate dropped fully one-half in value, and the same happened to all merchandise not used in the mines. Labor rose tenfold in price. Negro waiters received $lO a day and cooks sls, but even such wages as these could not indu«o Uto eager gold-seekers to remain in the city. Nearly everyone .went to try his luck. Some made thorir fortunes, but many came back a good deal poorer than when they started.”

And the Fellow Climbed Down.

A young man dwelling on th® borderland of aristocracy, where, as Gcorga Eliot says, annexation becomes a burning question, was entertaining a group on a hotel piazza. With great freedom he swung into the conversation by their familiar abbreviations the names that decorate the society columns. At ! length a wwua, gazing pensively out at sea from the depths of a Shaker rocker, turned to the young man and, bending over the arm, said: “My dear sir, you-have buried a man who was alive on Friday. Such haste is not seemly. You have divorced a woman now happily wedded. This is premature. But when you marry my husband to another woman, I must reproach j T ou. My dear sir, you should respect the law, if not the gospel.”

Sickened of the Scalpel.

An extraordinary event led Lassone, physician to Louis XVI. of France, to abandon his anatomical studies. While selecting from among- some dead bodies a suitable subject for dissection, he imagined that one of them showed doubtful signs of death, and sought to revive a life which was perhaps not extinguished. His efforts were crowned with success. He cured the man,and as he was poor nourished and supported him, but ths idea of having been on the point of conjmiting a crime so affected Lassone that he felt himself unable to pursue his accustomed labors, and from that time forward the study of natural history and chemistry took the place of that of anatomy.

Exigencies of Travel.

Two young fellows once entered a western train and took seats. They were unaccustomed to railway travel, and we reconstn rrtlyon the watch for some accident. Every few minutes, they would raise the Window and look out. Presently, as the train came around a curve, one of them saw a fence which he seemedto suppose crossed the track. Jerking his head in, he said, in a frightened tone, loud enough to be heard by every one in the eat". “Hold on tight, Bill, she’s gohT to jump a fencel”

A Drawback.

When General Lafayette attended Lamarque’a funeral, the crowd took the horses out of his carriage and drew him home themselves. “Were you not honored and pleased?” asked wfr -4 —“Very much pleased.” replied barayette, “but I never saw my horses again. ”

Had to Have His Little Joke.

William M. Evarts, being at the top of Mount Washington, began a speech, which the crowd of visitors had begged from hiui.ivitlx this felicitous pun: “We are not stran-zers: we are| friends and rieu-Kljorv. We have ail been born and brought up herel”

NOT LIKE HIS MOTHER’S.

The Following Is a Warning to Some Young Husbands. Beautiful scenery here, is it not?” asked the young man of a solitary traveler whom he found pacing along the seashore. “Well no,’ replied the stranger, “I can’t agree with you. I think the ocean is too small. It is no such ocean as my mother used to have.” ‘‘Your mother's ocean was superior, then?” “Oh, yes, “vastly superior. What tumbling breakers! What a magnificent sweep of view! What amplitude of distance! What fishing there •was in my mother's ocean!” “But the sky is magnificent here, is it not, sir?” “Too low and too narrow across the top,” replied the stranger. “I hadn’t noticed it,” said the young man. “Yes,” said the stranger, “it is too low and there isn’t air enough in it, either. Besides it doesn’t sit plumb over the earth; it is wider from north to south than it is from west to east. I call it a pretty poor sky. It is no such sky as my mother used to have.” “Pardon me, but did your mother have a special sky and ocean of her own?” Right here an old resident came up and drew the young man aside. “Don't talk with him,” said the old resident, “He is a hopeless lunatic. He is a man who always used to tell his wife about ‘the biseiiits my mother used to make,’ ‘my mother’s pies,’ ‘my mother’s puddings’ and ‘my mother’s doughnuts.’ The habit grew on him so much that he became a confirmed lunatic.”

REMOVED THE BIRD.

A Washington Parrot That Bothered a Preacher. it is the accomplished African owned by Edward Cake of the Hotel Normandie at Washington. As a linguist Washington probably never had his peer. For some reason the bird had been changed from its usual habitat and put in the linen room for the day, the windows of which are almost in touch with the swell .colored church that is in close proximity to the Normandie on the north. The excitement began when the minister gave out a well-known text. The last words had but fallen from his lips when they were shouted back at him with peculiar vehemence from the adjoining house. The congregation tried hard to preserve its dignity, for the minister stood solemn, but the effort was not a great success, and many of the younger worshipers tittered audibly. The preacher started up again, and again the bird sent back bis utterance with the faithfulness of a graphpphone. A song was tried and Poll got in his work just the same. By this time it was evident that either that parrot had to.. be suppressed or the meeting would have to break up. little cohference was held, and it was decided to hold up the proceedings long enough for a committee to wait on Mr. Cake and ask him to remove the cause of the trouble to some other part of his hotel. That gentleman willingly acceded to the request, and the religious exercises were resumed.
