I visited a lady in my travels
who war! not calm and serene,
forborne boys had slipped up
and ptolen the young mocking
,birdfc from the nest she had
been watching so long1. "And
onlv U think;" she said, "two
of ' tli.j ' " boy.- were preachers
tioiiH, ' and told them one day
not to take trie birds, and the
next il.lv they camo while I was
-gone :md tooS ithem."
Vu'li, a bird s nest is very
try iiu tiling to a boy, whether
lie i- a vieachei's son or not.
It strains'' him. He is almost
o'-iitred tq have it. It is as bad
j.s a watermelon to a. 'darky.
TIif're has been many a chap-
ter written about the sin of
robbing bird nesta, but the rob
bing trocs on about - the same.
Tb fte-st is so cunningly made
aiid the I'fTga a.re so pretty. It
is a iv2( for a boy, and then
there is a feeling of triumph in
havint: what was hidden. The
sauio f eeling inclines a man to
go a fishing not for the lovje
the fish, but the love of the
sport. He loves to. beat; the
ii.-h at their own game. . He
love:'- to catch them because
they don't want to be ' caught.
Somebody sent Mr.-. Cleveland a
fine salmon the ether ,,day, and
he said he envied the pian who
caught it. It looks like a very
small business for a large man
fo take pleasure in, but it is na
ture, p.nd we can't help' it.
lUuiel u ebfter said that no
body liked to fish1 except gen
tleman and vagabonds. He
was iniitalien. All classes like
to ll'-h, but nobody but gentle
men and vagabonds have time.
The cood book says: "I will
dve thee dominion over the
beast of the field and the fish of
the sea and the fowls of the
air.;' And so we want it, and
the ,more they resist us jthe
more we want it. Nobody
want.-j to shoot a chicken or to
catrh c?r.3 in a trap, but we will
hunt all day for quails or squir
rels or haWKs, just because
they are wild fld won't submit
to us. I saw hundreds of
squirrels in a park at Memphis,
but nobody wanted them, for
thoy were tame, and would eat
nut- in-;;i yenr hand. Wepre-
wild rat io tame squirrel,

right honest good-natured
laugh. Ralph lost his knife
and Ned found it and swapped
it off quick, "and "when it was
found out he took high ground
and said lie 'f pun dat knife
away , dowai -yonder by de big
gate."' There are lots of folks
wio think that finding a thing
gives them a right to it. Some
bdys find marbles' &ud balls
add-pehcils, and keep them
soma little mean
cheek if a man smote you on
the right, but at the same time
he said he didn't know; wheth
er he could do it or not if it
came : all . of a sudden My
opinion is that , he is a good
deal like Sam Jones about that
and Sam would pop a feller so
quick It would make his head
swim. ' Human-nature is the
same the world over and most
of us; have got our share. Some
of the women may be sactifted
but the men are not. I know
some who claim to be but they
are"not"giving away their

that It gives an exact reproduction

the largest gathering of

A h an not got much more

the old birds very much to

H:ih old cuss. They tramp down
my corn every year to catch a
few lii-Ii in the creek, and as
for watermelons, we havte quit
tilatttiiiiz them far awav. from
.the Louje. A white boy about
Sixteen. years old will, steal a
melon as quick as a negro, and
ha will be meaner about it, for
he will plu a dozen to find a
ripo one. ' A white. man who
wiil steal at all will steal any
thing, and he always carries
some envy or malice along with
him, but a negro just takes lit
tle things that ho thinks you
don't need and won't miss, and
lie is really much obliged to
you ior having a surplus. He
h.is no malice and no envy. He
i.J' glad you are rich. I had an
old ax, and one day when I
wputed it I couldn't find it.' I
made such a fuss about it ' that
one of the dark'es brought it
noiny ana saia lie was jes keep
in it for me till I wanted I it
j.in a wlnte man came along
onii day and tole the new one
and when my nabor who made
the handle saw it at hia wood
pile and asked him where he
got it, he said he found it in
'the big road. He has got it
e!, reckon, fori never troub
l' o him about it. I had rath
negro would steal ti'om me
than a white man he does it
fo tenderly and. so. innlocently.
abbut thirteen , I was the, .mill 1 while other machines repeat what j his anxiety for its future, as
boy, and I had. to go two-mues
to mill, and I always, managed
to go with some other boys; so
as to run horse races coming
back. Some times I could
have got the meal by waiting a
lttle while, but the.temptation
was too great, and, bo-I had to
tel a little story so ' as to get to
racie coming home and then
raqe again going after the grist.
Boys haye their temptations
just lik'e men, and 'the men fall
about as of ten as the boys. The
dif erence is'the men Cover up
their tracks better than the
boys. The men don't steal nor
tell lies, but they cheat and
trick and plot and - scheme and
conceal the truth. Some of
them do. Some veiy respecta
ble gentlemen.; "A. trading man
can hardly be a candid. Solo
mon said: 4 A- lie ..sticketh in
the joints between -tliq. buyer'
and seller,' , and! he;saidJt ia
naught, it is naughtaitb the
buyer; but after he buyeth he
goeth his way and rejoiceth.'
And so. after all, I believe 1
had rather risk the boys, even
though they do rob the, Jtrird
nests. If a boy will just f eei
mean after he does a mean
thins I have hopes of him.
Someti uies boys willdo baa
things just for the peril of it,
the risk, the hazzard of being
caught. There is an adventure
about it- that they;;like.iiusr
like there is about smuggling
or making tjloonshlne whiskey.
The more boys, the more they
plot mischief. One dog won't
go off by himself and kill sheep
and so one boy won't rob an
apple orchard. He must have
company.. I-.have known
school doys tO" walk two miles
to steal apples when they had
apples; at home. 'One . dark
night some of the boys went to
Dr. Alexanders a mile away,
and stole a. bee gum and carried
it to the institute wrapped up
iu a quilt and robbed it and got
stung ,11 over, though they had
honey every day at the board
ing bouse, -s You. Bee, the old
devil tells them there is fun in
it, but there is' hot. He is an
old liar. Jim Linton aud Ned
Gouldlngand lhad Holt went

"papa," and in a squeaking sound.
The new machine is so perfect that
several persons can talk, one after
the other and when the reverse
motion is pat on if yoa are familiar
with tbe voices yoa have no trouble
in distinguishing them.
A slight hUBkinefS or a catching
of tLe breath is reproduced pre
cisely as if the human voice were
at work.
: A few nights since Mr. Edison
exhibited his machine to the
members of; tbe Electric club. Set-
era! persons talked into it at once,
and the murmur of their voices
and the words of one rising over
the rest were distinctly reproduced
A brilliant piano solo was repeated
every note every chord and every
run and even when the performer
by. accident struck two keys to
gether they were both distinctly
heard. Mr. Edison says the
phonograph will reproduce or
chestral pieces and can be bo
constructed as to record and re
peat operas or the solos of famous
singers. By the use of this ma
chine stenographers in office are
done away v. tth as it is mncb easier
for a man to dictate his letter into
this machine and send them to a
typewriter who having adjusted it
simply takes off in typewriting
what the,. machine repeats. If it
goes too f a8t by pressing a .button
it can be sttopped until the ope
rator catches up. If he fails to
bear, a certain part he can make
the machine repeat it as often as
he desires. Mr. Edison will bnild
a lai.ge factory 500 feet long by 75
feet wide for the manufacture of
the phonograph. The contract has
already been let' and the building
is to be completed within 2 months.
