Beantlful Hands. Such beautiful, beautiful bands. They're neither white nor small, And you, I know, would scarcely think That they were fair at all. I've looked on hands whose form and hue, A sculptor's dream might be; > Yet,are these aged wrinkled hands, i Most beautiful to me. , Such beautiful, beautiful bauds! Though heart was weary and sad, These patient bands kept toiliug on That the children might be glad. I almost weep as looking back To childhood's distant day ; I think how these hands rested not, When mine were at their play. Such beautiful, beautiful bands! They're growing feeble now, For time and pain have left their mark, On hand, and heart, ami brow. Aiaui nins! the nearlne time, 1 And sad, sad day to ine, 1 WUeu 'neath the daisies out of sight. These bands will folded be. But ohbeyond this shadow lamp, Where all 18 bright and fair; 1 know full well these dear old hands, Will palms or victory bear. Where chrystal streams, through endless I years, Flow over golden sands, < And where the old grow young again, I'll clasp my mother's bands. Ellen II. M. Gates. 1 Cheap or Dear. "Oli, mamma, Isa Weed has such a i lovely new spring hat all trimmed with wiugs?six black birds' wings, with red spots on them. Somebody ill the country shot the birds for her la?t summer. SJje made the hat herself, and It only cost three dollars altogether?wasn't it cheap?" "Not very," answered mamma, gravely. "I should say it cost a good ' deal?more than I should care to give for a piece of finery." Majory looked surprissd. "Why, mamma! It is much prettier than Nesta Blackthorn's, which came to twice as much?the wings cost next to nothing, you see." ''Are you sure?" asked Mrs. Rose baum, "i fancy tney cost a gooa deal." "Now, mamma, what do you mean?" "I will tell you a story to illustrate my meaning." "Oh, do, please!" said Marjory. "Here it is* Mr. and Mrs. Starling arrived one morning toward the latter end of April, coming from the South, where they spent their winters. They had married the year before and look ed forward to passing a long and hap- , py life together, for divorces are quite unknown in the Starling family. They ! had come back to the place where their ancesters had lived for seveial ' generations, and intended to set up housekeeping near the homes of their parents. After much consideration they pitched upon a proper Jocatiou and set upon building their nest. It was placed in a willow bush on the edge of a small swamp, and carefully constructed of small sticks, roots, and v. dried grass,lined with softer materials. Here Mrs. Starling laid six pale-color ed eggs ana us&umea utr seat upon them to wait patiently for their hatching. Mr. Starling was eonstan in sup- . plying his wife with fo >d, and brought her every delicacy of the season tiesides watching over her safety and and cheering her with his song. "In process of time the eggs were hatched, aud then how happy were the parents, and how busy; for it was i no light labor to supply their little ? aping mouths with food. From early awn to .late twilight Mr. and Mrs. Starling were on the wing, returning to the nest every teu minutes with a * worm or other insect." "They must do a great deal of good in that way," remarked Marjory. "Almost all birds do, Well, nothing disturbed the happiness of our friends for a time. The young birds grew and prospered. They were not yet able to fly, but they shook their little wings, peeped over the edge of the nest and talked of what they would do when they got out in the i woria. " 'They are really getting on very < well,'said the fatherbird, regarding bis children with great satisfaction from the bough where he was sitting. 'They will soon be able to fly.' " 'In a week or ten days, perhaps,' replied the mother, who was perched on the edge of the nest arranging her feathers. It is not best to be in too much of a hurry to get the little things out.' " 'Peep-weep!' said all the young starlings at once. Now 'peep-weep' in the starling language means 'lam hungry.' "'You greedy little things,'said the father, 'you cau't be hungry already.' 44 'They are growing so fast, you see,' remarked his mate, for starling mothers are like other mothers?they always find excuses fof their children. .But sit still, my dear, and rest?I saw a fine nest of caterpillers not far off and I will go and bring something to stop those little mouths.' "She flew ofFaccordingly, and was just returning with bei* bill full of worms when pop went a gun close by, and with a pitiful cry the poor mother starling fell to the earth, wounded to death. "As she did so, two men appear eu uu me euge ui iuu owaiuu. xuc younger was springing forward to pick up the fallen, bird when the other checked him. "'Wait a minute aud we will have the other,' said be. 'They always stay by each other.' "Soitproved. With a cry of rage and grief the fatherbird sprang to the help of his wife and was brought down in his turn. "'He is only wounded,' said the young man. 'Poor little fellow, it was almost too bad to shoot hiin for trying to help his mate.' " 'Yes; women who wants the wings won't care about that,' replied the other man. 'Pick him up and twist his wings off. That will finish him." ' "O mamma!" exclaimed Marjory, throwing down her work. "Could any oue be so wicked as that?" "It is often doue by those who shoot for the sake of the wings," replied ' Mrs. Rosebaum. "For two long days the little starlings pined and u ourned ' for their parents. They could see their mother lying on the ground, and 1 wondered why she did not come to their call, for, of course, they knew 1 nothing about death. One, the strongest of them, got upon the edge of the nest and made a brave attempt to fly, that he might bring food for the rest, but his wings were not fully fledged, and he was weak from want of food. . He fell into the water and was drown ed. The others perished one by one, and the pretty home in the willows ' was left desolate?all that a young . lady might have a hat trimmed with birds' wings. Now do you think that . hat was cheap or dear?" "I think it was horribly dear," answered Marjory. "i would not have it for anything* But, mamma, are all feathers got iu such cruel ways?" "Not ostrich feathers. They are not taken?at least from the tame ostriches?till the bird is ready to shed them." ! "Mamma," said Marjory, wiping her eyes, "do you think the ladies who , wear them know what tbey cost?" "They might know, if they do not. Enough had been said and written upon the subject." There are two sides to every story, " and some of them have four side9 and , a ceiling. * f . '..-v j:;-. _ ^ ???>i? II ? Returns to Probate Court. All administrators, executors.- .
