" The small voice nng out, shrill and eager, on Ihe crisp evening air, and J. P. Fernald, senior member of the tirm of Fernald A Co., turned and looked down into the child's animated face, Dp lifted with an anxious ir,o,niry shining through the lanre, dark eyes, made larger and seemingly brighter by want and porerty. "Santi C'lans I ha, ha, that is joke," said Mr. Ternald, good naturedly viewing the immense bundle in his arms from which protruded a doll's foot th rough an opening in the paper that enveloped it, and whose uneven surface bore a wonderful resemblance to Santa Clans' mysterious package. " Well, my little man, it does look like it; but how did you find me out?" " Oh, sir," cried the child, with an ex pression of rapt admiration on his small pinched fiice, " I knew yoo in a minute, 'cause yoa look just like your picture in the toy ihop windows There 'a the long white whiskers, an the white hair an' the fur cap, an' the great overcoat, an' the bundle of toys you're a goin' to give to the rich children to-night. I've stood on the corner here ever so long, a waitin' for you to come along. I knew you'd come down this street sore, 'cause the rich children live here." The child talked rapidly, catching his breath between the sentences, as though frightened at his addressing so great a personage as Santa Claus. "And what did yon want to see me for, my little man?" said Mr. Fernald, tak ing both little blue veined hands in his grea warm ones. " I wanted to tell you where we live, sir. I gnens you don't know, 'cause yoo don't know, 'cause you never found us, an' Tom Tom's my big brother: he's most twelve years old, an' help ma lots lie earns as much as fifty cents some days, an' ma don't know how she'd ever get along 'thout Tom. Well, Tom says tht yon don't care one bit about the poor littlechildren : thatyon'd just as lief they'd starve on Christmas Day as on any other day ; but yon must 'scuse Tom, sir. He works bard, and gets tired and then he's cross. When I looked at your picture in the toy shop windows, I said to myself: "Bobby Brown, don't you believe it of Santa Claus. He does care for all the children only he don't know where to find yoo, that's all." Was I right, sir? " "I think you were, my boy. I cer tainly do not know where yoa live," said Mr. Fernald in an unsteady voice, for the child's trusting faith in Santa Ciaus that had never brightened a Christ mas for him, touched the rich man's heart, as it had not been touched for many a month. "I'll tell yon where I live, and bow many there is an' everything," cried Bobby breathlessly, " so yoa can't 'stake the place. My! won't Nellie be glad yoa found us. I won't tell Tom that I hinted, 'cause he'd say it wasn't perlite of me to do it. Brit yoa see, sir, I just couldn't let this Christmas gj by 'thout finding yon, 'cause Xellie Nellie's a lit tle thing, sir, only five last summer an' she's taikin' all the time about a Christ mas dolly, an' she really thinks you'll bring her one, an' it makes poor ma cry to hear her tell what she'll do with her dolly. Yoa won't forget the doll for Nellie, sir?" " No," said Mr. Femald, writing some thing in a little book. "Step into the store with me, my boy. It will be more comfortable for yoa. I see your clothes are thin." " Yes, sir, they wear out fasfer'n ma can mend 'em. Little Paul's only four, sir an' I guess he'd like some candy best of anything, an' maybe, if (isn't too much aa orange, too. You'll remember Paul, " Yes, I've got him down. Now who else?" "There's Tom, sir. Tom is such a good brother, and has to be oat in the cold all day. I do wish Torn con Id have some warm mittens; and his shoes are most pine; but I goes the mittens will do. He'll be awfully glad to g?t 'em. Is Tom's name down?" " Yes, Tom's name isdown." Mr. Fer nald looked np, waiting for the child to continue his requests. " That'i all. ceptin' ma, an' ma need everythin", bat I guess she needs a shawl most." " But yon, my little man, is there noth ing yoa wish for?" -No, sir; I don't need anything. Ill be so glad to see the rest, an I'll have my secret about meeting you for my Christmas. Oj, UH be tbe very jollies Christ oias ever was, an' won't ma won der, an' won't Tom te s'prised, an won't Nellie dance about I guess Tom "11 change his mind 'bout yoo, mighty quick mr." Bobby nodded bis head emphatically, and his eyes twinkled like stars. " Sow tell me where yoa live, Bobby," said Mr. Fernald, with a warm glow at his heart. ! The child gave the directions very I minately. Then Mr. Fernald sent hiru home, and I doubt if there was a happier child in the land than Bobby Browr.. Mr. FernaM then retraced his utepa, rLsiting AeIothiii estdbltebuientu, a ahe maker's, tlve grocer a. end at each place, after giving his or ler, he reqat?! that ! the things be aent the firt thing in the mornins, to a certain address, with the compliments of Santa Oaus. Bobbv tnstKl rest!v ia bed that niht he gtrtej nervouly, aa.l lbrtene'l atten tively until the sound cease-!, "ruward morning be fell uleep and waa onfy awakened by Tom kindiing a fire in the old stove. " Has he come yet?" cried Bobby a.i he sprang oat of bed. Who?" asked Tom. But Bobby pretended to be too busy about his wardrol to heed Tom's fines- tion. He felt chagrined that he had so nearly betrayed his precious secret. Mrs. Brown, with a weary sigh, pat the last potato in the oven, and wondered where the dinner for those little hungry mouths was to come from. Her faith in God's care was sorely tried at times. Poor woman ; her burdens were heavy to bear. Suddenly tliete came a knock at the door. '"It's him," cried Bobby, springing for ward to open it. "Here's a basket for the widow Brown which Santa Clans sent from the grocery, with, his compliments," said the man, thrusting a large basket in at the door, and disappearing before a question could be asked. Before the contepts were half taken out, another basket as thrust in. "From the bakery, with Santa Clans' compliments," said the man, br;kiy, slamming tbe door behind him. Such a basket of good things as that one was ! The children stood about it in wide eyed wonder, until little Paul broke the pell by snatching a handful of brown ginger cookies. "Santa Claua' compliments," announc ed a voice at the door, and a large bun- die, which proved to be good, stout slioes for tbe children all around, was thrust in and before the door could be closed, more bundles followed. By tliis time the little ones were caper ing about tbe room in the wildest delight. Tom stood with the stove handle in one hand, and an expression of blank amaze- i ment on bis face, a perfect statue of sur- j prise. Mrs. Brown had sunk into a chair , and with clasped hands ami tearful eyes, was viewing the presents, which seemed to be literally showered down upon them, and which meant so much of ci tufort and happiness to her little fauii!. Bobby was the only one who did wi seem at all surprised at the generous u'o!ay. Nor did he cease to regard tbe door with anx iety until the doll and the candy, together with other surprises and toy) not men tioned by him in his conversation with Santa Claus, had made their appearance, "Where did they all come from ?" gasp ed Mrs. Brown, in great perplexity, "T!i ere must be some mistake." "No, there ain't!" cried Bobby, enthu siastically, "Santa Claus sent 'em." "But there isn't such a person, Bob by." "Yes, there is. I saw him last night," said Bobby, trying a jack knife, which hal his name on a card, attached to the handle. "There is good stuff in it," he added, sending a long shaving off from a pine stick. "I told him where we lived, an' be said he'd try to find us this Christ mas.'" "Who could it bare been?" murmured Mrs. Brown. "Santa Claus, of cour1," said Bobby, emphatically. '"He is a jolly old man looks just like his picture, too." And Mr. Fernald. as he placed a dia mond ring on the finger of his grand daughter, thotieht of the humble home his bonnty had blessed, and how much more that gift was prized than the one which now sparkled on the band of her who had never iad a wish nngratiSed. "It pays to be Santa Claus." he solilo quized. "It pays in here," laying his hand over the place where a warm heart throbbed beneath, "and I believe 1'il make a general Santa Claus of myself next year, for the benefit of poor little children whom the usual Santa Clans fails to find." A Madman at Large! He is a well-known citizen, and his nearest and dearest friends do not sus pect his insanity. How do we happen to k now about it ? Listen ; his appetite is gone, he is low spirite.1, he dont sleep well, he has night-sweats ,he is annoyed by a hacking congh. These symptoms are the forerunners of consumption and death, and yet he neglects them. Is it any wonder that we call him a madman? If yon are a friend tell him to get a bot tle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery without delay. It will care him if he takes it in time. It will not mirac nously create new lungs when the old ones are nearly rone, bnt it will restore diseased onrs to a healthy condition, i Tell him alwut it, and warn him that in his case delay means death. BIRDS OF PENNSYLVANIA. From West Chester Sews, Dee. 1, H'. We have before os an advance copy (proof sheets and plates) of the " Iieport on the Birds of Pennsylvania," published at Harrisourg, Pa., State Printer's otfice, in acconlance with the Act of Assembly approved May 12th, Ji7. Tbe book is octavo size, and including the plates has about 373 pages. The text is printed in a god sized, plain and very rea'Ubie type. All the species ami rib-species and "forms' of both land and water birds, belonging to the fnunn of oar State and which number considerably over three hundred different kinds, are treat ed of. Dr. Warren the State Ornitholo gist, has given in a concise -nd terse way the results of his investigations ia exam inations (by dissections) of the food ma terials of birds, and hisearefut, systemat- nKacqlinna as a field naturalist. COT- ering a period of about fifteen years. As j " i. Tn. n;t. r pvi1-;. " ;4 replete with informaUon which will be of great value to the farmeis, as well as j instructive to scientists. The author, evidently recognizing the importance of simplification, which by most writers of ornithological and other scientific publication iss seemingly overs looked, has carefully divested hm book, whenever practicable, of the numerous -Ji LL OL -XL- v and mystifying technical terrt and when such terms are employed they are fu'.'y explained so they can 1 clearly undervbxjd by the general reader. Cn K VTtKlHTK-. In dexcribing his feathered subjects, the writer has taken pains to point out the individuf I characteristics of birds, so that they can in many cases be recognised in lif-, or when dying, walking or running on the ground, or when at rest. Although devotwl particularly to the varimi food stuffs, animal (9esh, insects, etc.,1 and vegetable (seeds, cereals, blossoms, grass es, etc..) on which birds wthsist, interewt inand instructive mention is nude of the life histories in general of different birds. Indeed it is surprising to find such a vast fund of solid information in so small a space. Betides giving unite a complete account of each of the Kjptores (hawks, eagles and owlsi which usually are found in the State, a chapter is de- voted to Kinls of rrey and the ?-ca:p Act of June i, Hvi," which was rejeal ed, except as to wolves and wildcats at the last session of the Legislature. This chapter is particularly interesting, con taining, as it does, extracts from reports collated by Secretary Thoa. J. E-ige for the State Board and clippings from oh sei vations, reports, etc.of different natur alists relating to tRe Bounty Act, besides giving the names and miruters of the many birds and mammals killed, also the amounts paid for same by dilfcnent coun ties. THE SCALP ACT Kf PE.M.Sti. The etfort to repeal the burdensome Scalp Act, which, in a period of about nine months, ost the various counties of the Otnimonwealth over $1oimi0, aliout $7-",0oO of which was paid for aawks an 1 owls, was begun by Pr. Warren, who is recognized, by naturalists generally, as one of the foremost authorities on the ftiod of birds in this country, and as he ha dissected over 'K M hawksan i owls, it is nnneceswary to add that hU views! w ith regard to the economic value of tbe hawk and owl tribes, wiii justly lie es teemed as authorative. The various members of the 8arrow family :over -M species are ound in Pennsylvania , in j their several conditions of plumage, are, as every bin! specialist is well aware, ex ceedingly difficult, at times, to study. The Doctor, appreciating this fact hxs taken great care to give full and minute descr ptions, in addition to having a number of common sparrows, finches, etc., beautifully colored in the illustra tions. The destructive English sparrow, and the other kinds of sparrows which are frequently mistaken by the casual ol-server for this naturalized bird, are all handsomely re-orod need in colors, so that anyone, at a glance, can see the differ ence, and when they "shoot sparrows" beab'e to select only the injurions ones. The woodia-ckers found with us, both as permanent residents and transitory so journers, have been carefully worked np, and it is shown, that contrary to preval ent impression, only one kind, called j mmonly the yel!ow-bellieI sapsin ker is deserving of the vernacular name "sapsuc ker," which is generally yet er roneously applied to the smaller wood pecker and nuthatches. The author in writing of the red-bcl!ied woodpecker a bin which by Audubon was found in Pennsylvania as a summer resident t breeding i, but that now is said to occur here chiefly as a rare winter visitant gives a very interesting account of the tht-truction w hich this species occasions in the orange orchards of Florida, where the "orange borers," as they are there known, are the " most plentiful " of all the woodpeckers. This orange eating habit has never before been observed or at least written of by any naturalist. The remarks relative to the food ha.-ed on several hundred dissections! of the d.fJerent blackbirds, the thrushes, also the robin, crow and bluejay, will be of par ticular interest to the farmer and fruit grower, who often are led to condemn these birds for their grain and fruit de vouring propensities and the crows and jays for their nest robbing proclivities. The nesting materials of the birds which generally rear their yonng within our borders are described and their usual - " " measurements of eggs, color, markings, hml.liniT te nwntmnAl tin. iruniia ftc an? alrtrt DArtiriilArizwHi.
