Just so our little birdie cried and moaned, and wonld not eat nor sing. It wanted to go home and see it mamma. The lady did all she could to comfort it and make it fe:d at home. She talked to it and petted it, giving it clean water, good seed, apples, and everything she thought it would like. Rut it was of no rise, birdie kept crying and wouldn't make friends, but wanted to go home. One day his mistress brought him a large piece of broken mirror, as big as my two hands, aud placed it on one side of his cage where he could see it readily. Do you sup pose he cared anything for that? Indeed he did. He hopped down, and going up close looked in. lie chirped .and hopped about, singing and putting on all the airs he was master of. He was not homesick at all after that. He spends much of his time before the glass, and when he goes to sleep at night he will cuddle down just as cloie to the glass as he can get. You see, he thinks he is sleeping close beside that other little bird. His mistress often lets him out into the room, where he can have more liberty. She may put that glass anywhere in the room, and he will find it, and sjend most of his time before it. DittrovreI i Smnsslcr's Cv. N. Y. Sun.

"What was her name, captain?" iuquired. the curious passenger. "Virginia Dare," was the cap tain's reply. There were loud calls foi the story, and as there was time, the captain spun it. Regarding the exact date of Virginia Dare's birth the captain admitted he was in doubt, but it happened so long ago that it was a matter of minor im portance. She was born on. Roa noke Island, and she grew into a very lovely and blooming maiden, White men ami ml men from far and near heard of the beauty of Virginia Dare, and came to lay themselves and their possessions at her feet. To all of them she turned I a deaf ear. Suddenly she disap peared. Search was made all over Uoanoke Island and the adjoining maiulaud, but to no purpose; not a trace of Virginia Dare could be discovered.

I have been catching old and young, and eating all I catch. Never throw any fish back; better kill them if you don't want to eat them, for they seem to warn the rest of the company, so that it is a difficult matter to catch them any m ore. I have on.' ditch that carries all the flood water around the pond. My dams are k.il t of earth entirely; don't use any timber at all, and am not bothered with leaking, minks or muskrafs di' lining in my dams. The most hateful thingi that I have to contend with is tadpoles. Last year they polluted the pond so that I am of the opinion they were against the growth of my fi.sh. So this spring, when the. toads came around and com men ceil to lay their eggs, I went to killing toads "and throwing their iggs out of the water. Now you can scarcely see any of the wretched things in the water. That is my remedy for them, and a very good one. 1 W. Eagle. Wiesner. N. C. I'nct.H rr Farmen.

Yh:it, a speaker is but y prater; a rhyme is but a ballad. A good leg will fail; a straight back will 6toop;a black beard will turn white; a cur led pate will grow , bald; a f nil eyo, will wax hollow; but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon, or, rather the sun and not the moon; for it shines bright and never chang es, but it keeps its course truly."
