And the wakencd woodland heedetll
The course of her hoary flight.

A change in the trembling tress,
And feels in the air that stirs
The tapering tips of the firs

Grows wan with the touch of death.

For the :southlalld s softer skies;

Now sounds her plaintive cries
Un the marshy Georgian share.

The torch of the sllnlacll burns;
In come, by the reedy rlllsido,
Ilroops fronds of yellowing ferns,
The lindens upon the lilwil

as usual, while he went to dinner. An
iapiary of forty-live colonies was within
three rods of 'the spot when: the horse
was tied, and the bees in great numbers
attackei it in our absence of not over
twelve minutes. When we discovered
, the state of adults the horse‘s head was
almost covered with mud bees and
swarms of them around it, which would
sting everything and everybody any-
where near. I could not induce the aili-'
mal to move at first. and to protect it I
covered it with blankets; and after
awhile. and after procuring more hcl ), I
succeeded in getting it out of the resell of
bees and we then applied remedies. as
washing with c dd water and soda, then
{bcsnlearing with linseed oil: internally
we gave whisky with Inudsnuul. Int all
efforts were in vain, and the poor InI~

Wonderful Skill in Juggling.
M. Robert Houdiu. in his delightful
autobiography. tells us that when he had
determined to become a con jurer he be-
gan by learning to juggle. as a prelimi-
nary training for his eye and his hand.
‘ lie was instructed in the art by a “pedi-
cure“ named Mantis, who taught him in
g a month to keep four balls in the airat the
‘ same time. _
Then'tho future master of
magic, desiring to acquire. the faculty of
doing two thing at once-s faculty of in-
estimllble value to the modern magician
wimprored on his teacher‘s instructions
by training himself to read while jug-
gling. “I placed a book before me," he
lrecords, “and while my four balls were
dancing in the sir I accustolitd myself
'Ihi fy
years later. when he sat down to write
his memoirs, he found that. although he
had never performed this feat- in public,
and very rarely had repeated it in private,
he was still able to read while juggling,
but that he could then only keep three
balls in the air, and not four. as he had
done formerly. This is additional evi-
dence, were any needed, that although a
dexterity sequined early in life may di-
minish with the advancing years and an
abandonment of constant practice, it is

Their tempers are so peppery that they
fly up like a flash of p older the instant
they feel aggrieved or wronged. They
are so quick to act that the moment they
feel that they have been swindled they

All Aspinwall (I'thmus of Plasma)
letter to the Pittsburg Divpatcfi says:
Monkey Hill is the only burying ground
about As inwsll, and it is certainly s
, wimderfu place. At this time of the
year people. and especially foreigners,
die by the dozen of (’hagres fever. It
is a terrible disease and it shuffles a fel-
low of! quicker. if anything. than yellow
fever docs. Death is such a very «our
man thing there that very little attention
isb‘paid to the manner of burying. A
body is thrown into a hired coffin and
carted ofi t1 Monkey Hill and put into
the ground,ofteu without even “excuse
for religious services. Then the coffin is
brought back to be used for another un~
fottunlte. I saw one rough-iookin
casket while I was in Aspinws I that I:
done duty on 633 different occasions 3nd
had brought $3 to its ow.:cr every time.
