POETRY.
Fifty Tears Apart,
They nit in the winter gloaming,
And the fire burns bright between;
One has passed seventy Hummers,
And tha other juRt seventeen.
They rest in a happy Bilence,
As the shadows deepen fast;
One lives in a coming future,
And one in a long, long past.
Each dreams of a rush of music,
And a question whispered low;
One will hear it this evening?
One beard it long ago.
Each dreams of a loving husband,
Whose heart in hers alone;
For one the joy is coming1?
For one the joy has flown.
Each dreams of a life of gladness,
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and tha memory
Shine in the happy eyes.
"Who knows which dream is the brightest?
And who knows which is the best ?
The sorrow and joy arc mingled,

How Birds are Taught to Slag.
Every kind of bird sings its own pe
culiar notes, but all may be taught to
sing regular tunes. The mocking-bird
und thrush learn tunes without training.
But, by a regular education, other birds
may become line performers. A contri
butor to the Nursery says :
"East summer I was at a friend's house
at Naliant. I rose early iu the morning,
and went down stairs to walk on the
piazza. While there I heard, as I thought,
some person whistling a tune in a very
sweet style. I looked around, hut could
see tu one. Whe.to- could Jho ?wlt?d.j
cootu from? I looked up and saw a lit
tle bird in a cage. *Thc cage was hung
in the midst of flowers and twining plants.
"Can it b ," thought I, "that such a
little bird as that has been taught to sing
a t cgulnr t ne so su cot ly ?"
I did not know what to make of it.
When my friend came down stairs she
told me that it vns the little bird who had
whistled the sweet t(inc. Then my friend
cried out to the bird, "Come Bully, Bully,
sweet little blueiinvh. give us just one
more tune." And then this dear little
bird hopped about the cage, looked at his
mistress, and whistled another sweet tune.
It was so strange to hear a bird whistle a
regular tune!
"Now, Bully," saiil my friend, "you
must give us 'Yankee Doodle.' Come,
cornc, you shall have some nice fresh seed
if you will whistle 'Yankee Doodle.' "
And the little thing did whistle it much to
my surprise.
My friend then told mc that slu had
brought the bird from the little town of
FoliIn, in Germany, where there ore little
schools for teaching these birds to sing.
When a bullfinch has learned to sing
two or three tunes, he is worth from forty
to sixtv dollars, for he will briug that
price in France or England.
Great skill and patience arc needed to
teach these birds. Few teachers can have
the time to give to the children under
their charge so much care as tho bird
tcachcrs give to their bird-pupils.
The birds are put into classes of about
six each, and kept for a time in a dark
room. Here, when their food is given to
them, they are made to hear music, so
that, when they have eaten their food, or
when they want more food, they will sing,
and try to imitate the tune they have just
learned. This tune they probably con
nect with the ac* of fcediug. As soon as
they begin to imitate a few notes, the
light is let into the room, and this cheers
them still more, and makes them feel as
if they would like to sing. In some of
these schools the birds arc allowed reicher
light nor food till they begin to sing.
These are the schools where the teachers
arc more strict.
After being thus taught in classes, each
bulfinch is put under tho care of a boy,
who plays Ida organ from morning till
night, while the m?stet or the mistress of
the bird rchnrd go^ round to ".?.c hov; the
pupils are getting on.
Tho bullfinches seem to know at once
when they aro scolded, and when they
are praised by their master or mistress;'
and they like td I be petted when they
have done well. The training goes on
for nine months, and then the birds have
got their education and are sent to Eng
land or to France, and sometimes to
America, to be sold.

RubiustGin's Flaying.
. And, finally, with his shy, awkward
bow, like a school boy doing obeisance to a
cqmmittccman, and bis long, unkept black
hair straggling over his mggod Slavonic
features, the great Rubinstein steps'' on
the i-tage, and without prefatory glance
or gesture, drops on the piauo-stool and
plungqaggdnto his trork. For a single^
evening, either thro'igh personal mood |
or unfavorable position, we wcre*at sofy?u
trouble?lej us now confess U? to judge ]
how great he actually is. Rut a seeondj
hearing dispelled all doubt. Rubinsteit

or any other well-worn phrase which th]
render may manage to pick out of h
dog-eared old Xatin .grammar, becom^
literal in his case. In brief plain English,
there is nobody like him, or who comes"
near it. Of course, the most immediately
evident feature of this grentnees is his
mechanical command of the insfrumcnt/j
imprimis, the amazing hard work of which!
ho is capable. The mere labor of play- j
lug, well or ill, the four tremendous num/j
Den? OU tho k)4.fc pH>proui?l?r -OTt-TrhltTtr'tttfji
heard him, would have reduced an ordi
nary day laborer to synoopc ami a stretch
er. But when we reflect that every note
was played with the most, exquisite und
conscious discrimination, with the most
admirable weighing of power and scjf-.
command, that every stnecato was assharp
and clean cut, even* trill as liquid and reso
nant as if he had been, doing nothing else
but practice thenlfpr.au hour before, we
begin to realize his power es a mere me
chanician. But behind this lies the taste,
and, stiil further, the soul ami the inn gi
nation. With most pianists, even of the
better class, the piano is, after all, rather
an obstinate and ungrateful instrument,
a little wooden, a,little mechanical, even
a little tin-kettlish, on occasion. But with
Rubiustcn it absolutely gives up all sub
stance of being n machte at all and be
comes a living agent, interpenetrated by
and reupousive to the spirit of the master.
Under biS* wonderful fingers it sings or
thundcis, murmurs or tingles, laughs or
weeps, in apparent freedom from all phys
ical law but that which puts ic in inline
di?te relation with the soul of the jwrfor
?ncr. Su.;h soft dying resonance .of single
cords, such microscopic cliiimond-dust
of trill ?3r pearl-drop of.^ulcnza, such
infiuitcsunal diminution of miry-like pirn,
issimo, ij will never probably be our fate
to hear again. That any mortal lingers
can strike u lumbering, resistent, resilient
machine like a ph* no-key with the abso
lute self-command and nervous discrimi
nation, the infinite variety of shading
and flower-like softness of Rubinstein?
that any human power of combination
can blend a scries of percussions to the
liquid resonant chant and spirit-like mur
mur of his enntabile, is n thing which
we beg pardon for the trite phraze?must
he heard to be belie veil. If any one is
inclined to deem these mere technical
merits, to be acquired by the average per
former though mere length and assiduity
of practice, let him hear the trngic in
tensity of expression, the picturesque in
uividualization in Rubinstein's "Eii
Koing,"?the dreamy melancholy pathos
and poetic sweetness of his Romanze and
barcaroles, and repent.
But why should we waste words in
doing that for our reader wich he will
surely do for himself? Suffice it, that, so

The Boundary Line Between the United States'
and tfreat Britain^
Among the questions submitted by the
Washington Treaty was tho true boun
dary between Great Britain and the
United States on our Northwestern and
Pacific coasts. The English Government
claim that the line should run through
the Uosario Straits, inc American Gov
eminent through the Canal de Haro.
Tiiis involves the legal title to the Islands
of-San Juan, Orcas, Ijopey, Blnkeley,
Decatnr and Shaw, which lie between
these two points.
This forms a portion of formerly Ore
gon, hut now of Washington Territory.
There will be well remembered, the
famous controversy some years since in
reference to our Northwestern Boundary,
when the United States claimed the i
whole of the Northwest territory as fur as
the Russian possessions. It was in 1844,
ncaily thirty year* ago, that Mr. Polk
and the Democratic party aroused the
national pride by the utterance of 54 40,
elr a fight. If the British claim of boun
dary had then been permitted, the United
States would have be.m without a seaport
on the Pacific. Finally, the Ashburton
treaty was adjusted in 1846, by which
forty-nine degrees was agreed a^ the
parallel, but to extend Westward "to the
middle of tho channel, which separates
ic.Continent from Vancover's Island,
ml thence Southerly through the middle
said channel and of Fuca Straits to
he Pacific Ocean."
i It will be observed that tho name of
die channel is not designated. Tho whole
question, therefore, turns upon the point,
vhich is the channel which soparales the
jontinent from Vancouver's I land? Is
t the Rosaria Strait, or I ho Canal do
?Iaro? Which fit* these was thu rnftin
Ihanncl in 1846, when the treaty was
Signed ? < )n this ono is3tio the whole sub
'cct matter rests. It is a matter of cbn
icquence, on account of tho value
k the Island of San Juan, as a
coaling and other station. By the fnl
lovfng, the 31th Arthde of this Washing
toi Treaty, the whole subject was sub
mitted to the Emperor William, of Ger
mtnv? for bis final decision:
"Article 34,?Whereas it was stipu
lated bylarticlc lof theTreaty concluded
at Washington on the 15th of June, 1846,
between Her Britanic &{{u?Sty and tho
United Stalcsr'tlidi1 flW"^j>f bdundary
between thew Territories of *hV United
States and those of Her Britannic Majes
ty, from tho point on the forty ninth
parallel of North latitude, up to which it
bad already .been ascertained, should be
continued' "Westward along tne ''said
parallel of North;latitude "to'the middle
of the eh an ncl which separates the Con
tinent !from Vancouver's Island, and
thence Southerly, through the middle of
the said channel ami of Fuca Straits to
the Pacific Ocean;" and whereas the
commissioners appointed by the two high
contracting parties tb> detchnthe tbnt por
tion of the b?uvndary which-runs South
erly through the middle of the channel
aforesaid .were .unable to agree; upon1 the'
same; and whereas,,the, government of
Her Britannic Majesty claims that such
boundary line should, under the terms of
the treaty above recited, bo run tbrough
the Rorario'Stratos, and the government
of the United States claims that it should
be run through,fhc Canal dejliaro, }\ is
agreed that the respective claims of the
government of Her B ritaunic Majesty
und of tho government of the' United
State; shall be submitted to tho arbitra
tion and award of Ilia Majesty the Em
peror nany, who, having regard to
the abov?-mentioned articje of tho said
treaty, shall decide thereupon, finally
and without appeal, which of those claims
is most in accordance with the true inter
pretation of the Treaty of June 15, 1845."
It nowappenrs that the Emporor Wil
liam has ?Tclcrred the question to able
jurists of his own domain, who have
?rendered a.written judgment in Javnr of
the claim of the United States, und
'against that made by Great Britain. It
