A Spring-Time Chirp.
The blue-birds and the robins red
This morning came in pairs;
The blue birds with much modesty,
The robins with some airs.
The morning winds moved gently
The reddening maple tree,
Where the blue birds and the robbing
Piped their spring-time•minstrelsy.
The audience roes, was very large,
The audience rather small—
Peering through half closed window blinds,
One "family circle'; all:
The curtain rose at break of day,
Dissolving int:, air ;
The singers promptly were in place,
For morning praise and prayer.
The little chirping soloists, —
And choristers as well,
Thrilled clearly all the higher noses,
And to the lowest fell.
So perfectly, in time and tune,
So blithely, and sb gay,
While the King of Day, from the eastern sky,
Throws his robes of night away.
And in his car of molten gold,
With cloud-steeds snowy white
On perfumed breath—the morning air,
Rode up the Empyrean height,
In regal robes and royal state,
Passing our maple tree,
Where the blue birds and the robins
Sang their morning melody.
No flats, no sliarps, not one false ;rote,
None hired to cry "encore;"
The daily programme warbled through,
All this and nothing more,
Comprising spring-time songs of joy,
At early break of day,
From the blue-birds and the robins,
In a genuine matinee. _ _
With earnest listeners only—
With only those who hear
The song of-the-birds - in spring-time,
With ewer listening ear ;
The sky for an auditorium,
The budding.trees fer bowers
For 4 gueSt the Sun of the morning,
Stich atvery precious hours. ,
But, ah, the concert closes •
Too soon, by far, each day,
And we look, and wait, and listen,
As the bird•notes die away
In the dips and vaulted distance
Of the blue, ethereal sky,
Leaving rainbow tints of beauty,
At our feet, as the world goes by.

Late Hours.
Late hours are:carrying more people to
untimely graves than the . deadly missiles
of warfare. The bullet and the crashing
shell mangle limbs and inflict flesh wOtinds,
but. midnight dissipation impairs the
whole system, and hurries all .ages and
sexes under"the sod. This trrowing ten
dency to turn night . intq day 3s one:of the
most serious of our social evils and should
receive the earnest consideration e. those
interested in this welfare of: the huut}n
race. By looking back at the newspapers
of that time. it Will be found that New
Yorkers, fititelie6=ing or this century,
departed from places of amasemecit nht
far from the time-at rthialt they nowester
them. The doors of the theatre opened at
'half-past five O'clock, and the Curtin Arose
at half-past six." The early kni4erboak
ers attended parties and other social gath
erings at seven, and returned home be
tween nine and ten
Now all this is changed, and "between
nine and ten" is the fashionable he - ur Tim
going out. And what is true of grOWn
people is rapidly -becoming true of juve
niles. .Youngsters in roundabouts—and

half 7 past nine, and brought home at mid

evenings since; no one else .will thEre

The prevailing fashion cannot he per

"heads of the establishment." However

to the• requirements of the: "old folks,"
the lio4se-holders. We say, then, it is not
the young, the youthful pleasure seekers
who are responsible for the late hour folly
so much as the parents, who have it in
their power to stop it. So fhr as children
are concerned,' parents do them great
wrong in either encouraging or permitting
an indulgence in late hour festivities and
entertainments. If they will not conform
themselves to the laws of health, the least
they can do is to prevent their children
from adopting their own ruinous practices.

Pat's Colt
A gentleinan who favors us with some
reminiscences re.ipecting the early settle
ment of old De.rryheld, N. }l.,—relates the
following anecdote: .
Wheti my grandfather resided at Gogg
town and Derryfield, then sated by the
Irish, he hired a wild sort of an' Irishinan
to work on his farm. One day soon after
his:arrival, ho told him to take abridle and
go out in the field and catch theblack-colt.
"Don't couio without him," said the old
gentle Men. Ritrick started and was gone
some tilde; hlit"laßEFetaficel without a
bridle,: with. his face aittr hands" badly
scratched, as though,•he'llatl received bad
treatment.
"Why, Patrick ; what is the matter ?what
in the world ails yoti?" -" -
"An' faith, isn't it me, Your honer;
never will eatelt the old black colt again?
Bad luck to him! An didn't •he .a11t.„40
scratch the eyes out o' my , head ?, An'
faith as true as My shoulder's my own. I
had to climb up the tree after the colt
"Climb' a tree after him ? • Noneetik;
Where is the-beast?"* - • - • :;!tt,--
. "An' it's tied to thus : tree, he.is, ttl,

We all followed Patrick to the spot
get a solution of the difficulty, and on oach - -
ing the field, we found, to our • no- small
amusement,, that ho had been •chnsiti, a
young black bore, which he had succeeded
in.catchiug after a great deal of rough
Usage on both sides, and actually tied it
with the bridle to an old tree'. Brain was
kept for a longtime, and was over after
known as Patrick's colt.
