This is the salutation of joy that

This is the signitioa ce ofEister

forty days of fastiug aud prayer
with which Christ fortified himself
for his passion, crucifixion and the

There is at this beautiful and glo-

harmony in till creation with this

The time has passed when Easter

a company. But we reckoned without
Bob's beastly parrot For when Boh
went home he had heard a song at some
music hall or other. It was all the rage
then, with Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay for a
chorus. An idiotic thing anyhow, but
it was catchy, and Bob and I, in our gooi
spirits, were perpetually at it All day
long It was Ta-ra-ra this and Ta-ra-ra
that and as Bob had shown me how a
Woman in London, Lottie something, I
remember, sang it, we were always
high-kicking and trying to wipe the
ground with our back hair.
'We were a couple of young fools.
no doubt but It did no harm. I dare
say we should nave got sick ot it in j
time. But Bob had caught a young
parrot, the bush all round was simply
swarming with them, and he taught it
the air of Ta-ra-ra, and It was funny
enough, when we were in luck's way
and everything looked rosy, to hear tho
bird whistling it, for to give the devil
his due it used sometimes to chime In
with it, when Bob and I vrera talking,
In the neatest way in the world. But
one day the parrot was missing. It had
bitten through a bar of its cage, made
by Bob out of a whisky case, and was
gone. We were sorry at the time, I re
member, and we put the cage outside
our hut with a lot of sugar and stuff
all about It, in the hope of the parrot's
coming back. If we had only shot it!
"But one day as we were going across
to the mine we suddenly heard th
well-known refrain from the top of a
gum. We stopped dead, and while I
stayed to watch the parrot's move
ments, Bob ran back for the cage, which
we put on a bit of open ground at
temptingly as we could, and then stood
by, a good way off, to watch result.
While we were waiting, we were as
tonished to hear Ta-ra-ra-boom from
another tree behind us, and immediate
ly afterwards Ta-ra-ra-boom from an
other direction, and then the truth
flashed on us. Bob's parrot had been
teaching all the others Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay
I And so it was. There waa Bdt
a bird in the bush that did not know it
and there were thousands ol them. Wo
laughed at first, so did the men at tha
mine. There were twelve of them, all
very decent, well-behaved fellow. Bnt
the parrots kept on at, it, all the morn
ing. Then they slacked off about noon,
when they generally have a sleep, and
commenced again about four, and went
on till it was dark. By bedtime we had
got tired of the joke. The all
petered out of the thing.
"By daybreak next mo. ti tb
birds were at it again, and all the time
thatwewero retting breakfast ready
and eating it tha wretched brutes kept
steadily on, Ta-ra-ra-boom , To add
to the exasperation of it not one in a
hundred ever finished the line, but
broke off at the 'boom. Conversa
tion was impossible with this monot
onous obligate of Ta-ra-ras going on,
and even sitting still to breakfast
seemed difficult We were all very
short-tempered by the time the meal
was finished, and as we went out of the
hut I saw Bob take up his gun. We
got to work, but it was just awful, 1
tell yon, trying to do anything with
those parrots all about If they had
all talked at once it wouldn't have
beem so bad, or if they had kept on
talking without any stoppages. But
they used to do it one at a time, at
irregular intervals, and from all sorts
of unexpected directions. One would
whistle it out loud, the next would
drop its Toice to a confidential whis
per, the third one wheezed out the
words as if it had asthma, tho fourth
would put it as a question in a rollick
ing, 1 ocular way. It was fairly mad'

could see the men pausing in their
work in suspense, waiting for the next
Ta-ra-ra to come, and as for attempt
ing to talk, it was out ot the question.

Only an oath ncftv and again, dropping
on the air in a sullen, shell-fire fash

idiotic gayety of tho parrots. From

cried the nearest parroj; in a
voice of delight and the men. went at
it savaarely, while the birds, with the
lucky way they have, hit in so pat
sometimes, with a Ta-ra-ra-boom, that
it sounded like a 'Bravo!' after a well
placed blow. This made the men all
the madder. How it ended I don't
know, for I went away to wind up the
man down the shaft who had been for
gotten all this time. He came up pro
fane and furious, and insulted mo. 1
dismissed him on the spot and then
there was another row, and somehow
the angry spirit spread, and Bob and I
at last found ourselves looking on at a
general melee, Bob, with one eye only,
as a phid' of misdirected clay had tem
porarily shut up the other.
"In the middle of ail this rumpus
who should step out of the bush but
the inspector, and just as he did so a
chunk of quartz knocked his hat off.
He insisted on the arrest of the
offender, but the order ,was too big to
execute, and the end of it was that he
and his posse went off baok to town,
and reported a state of riot at the Gilt
Edge. Next day, Bob and I", the
captains of the shift with half a dozen
other men, were on our way to explain
to a magistrate and pay -the penalty
for an assault on 'the authorities.
When it was all over and we had got
back, leaving three of our number be
hind us in custody for "contempt of
court' we found the place half do
Berted, and the remaining men lying
about idle, playing cards and quarrel
ing, while the parrots overhead cried
Ta-ra-ra-boom in response to every
oath. When they heard of tho men in
jail, they went off in a body to get
their ehums out, and Bob and I found
ourselves alone in camp with the con
founded parrots. After the excite
ment of the previous day our nerves
were, perhaps, a bit Bhaky, but any
how we thought Ta-ra-ra worse than
ever. We stuffed our ears full of wad
ding, but the wretched refrain was
running in our heads, so that we found
ourselves humming it at every turn.
and when we took out the wadding to
speak to each other the parrots were
BtiU at their Ta-ra-ra-booml But we
got the camp Into order, and, working
like niggers all the time, waited for
three days for the men to return, and
then we went Into town after them,
None of them would come back and
face Ta-ra-ra-boom. So we had to get
another shift -and by and by we started
again.
"But almost the same things hap
pened, though worse. For the men
after two days of It were so Infuriated
by the parrots that they would not
work. They loafed about the bush all
day with revolvers and lumps of stone.
A passionate longing for the blood of
the parrots possessed them. So over
whelming was the mastery of this fero
cious thirst for gore that not content

with perpetual fisticuffs, they pro
ceeded to duelling with revolvers, and
from this to 'busting-up' the machin
ery of the mine, setting fire to our hut
and, most astonishing of all, an old
Scotchman was actually seen in his un
goverable fury to throw a bottle three
parts full of whisky at a parrot! It
was now our turn to seek assistance
from the authorities. But so exasper
ated was the neighborhood for Ta-ra-ra-boom
had by this time spread from
our camp over the whole of the district
that when it was known we were in
town to prosecute our men at the mine.
popular feeling ran so high against us
that the police advised us to make ft
bolt for it Which we did, and at once.
Nor did we dare to go back. We should
probably have been lynched if we had.
So there was nothing for it but to sell
the mine with the plant on it, as a go
ing concern. It was put tip without
reserve, and. amid jeers and cries of
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay, the Gilt Edge
was knocked down to our own brace-
man for a hundred pounds! So we were
thrown on the world again, and from
that day to this I have never chanced
on a bit of luck again.
'Bob? Oh, Bob is in the Varra Yarra
asylum down in Melbourne. He went
clean off his chum, poor chap. He was
a right good fellow, was Bob, but he
made an awful mistake in teaching
that parrot 'Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay.' "

BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Away from carking care,
From pa3ion and despair
From hopes that but delude.
And blasts that are too rude,
From friendships that betray,
And joys that pass away
And love that turns to hate
In hearts left desolate,
I fain would go.
From dreary days and nights,
And ghosts of lost delights,
Fair phantoms of dead days,
That wander through old ways,
From parting's bitter piin,
And meeting's transient gain,
And deat'a that mocks us so.
With glad life's overthrow
I fain wonld go."
To some fair land and far;
Where all iny lost ones are,
Where smiles shall bloom 8 new,
And friendship shall be true,
Where falls no weary night,
Since God Hinuelf is light
Across the soundless sea
