Vou'ro surprised that I over should say so? Just wait till the reason I've nUen Why I say I sha'n't care tor tho music, Unless there Is whistling In heaven i Then youll think It no very great wonder, Nor so st range, nor so bold a conceit, That unless there's a boy thero a-whlstllng, Its music will not bo complete. It was latu In the autumn of 'to : We had'eome from our far Ilastern homo Just In season to build us a cabin, Ero the cold ot tho winter should come i And wo lived all tho while In our wagon. That husband was clearing the place W hero the houso was to stand ; and the clearing And building It took many days. So that our heads were scarce sheltered In under Its roof, when our storo Of provisions was almost exhausted, And husband must Journey for moro j And Iho nearest place wheio he could get them Was jet such a distance away, That It forced him from homo to be absent At least a whole night and a day. You see, wo'd but two or threo neighbors, And tho nearest was moro than a mile, And wchadn't found thno yet to know them, For wo had been busy tho whllo i And the man who had helped at the raising Just staid till tho Job was well dono s And ns soon ns his money was paid him, II ail shouldered his axe and had gone. Well, husband Just kissed mo and started. I could scarcely suppress a deep groan At the thought of remaining with baby No long In tho house all alone ; For, my dear, I was childish and timid, And braver oacs might well have feared, For the wild wolf was often heard howling, And savages sometimes appeared. Hut I smothered my grief and my t error Till husband was ott on his ride, And then In my arms I took Josey, And all tlio day long sat and cried, As I thought of tlio long dreary hours When the darkness of night should tall, And I was so utterly helpless, with no ono In reach of my call 1 And when the night caino Willi Its terrors, To hide c'ry ray ot light, 1 hung up a quilt by the window. And, almost dead with affright, 1 kneeled by tho sldo of tho cradle, scarce dartDg to draw a full breath, U'st the kilty should wake, and Its ci ylng should bring us a horrible death. There I knelt until late In the eentng, And scarcely an Inch had I stirred, When suddenly, far In the distance, A sound as of whistling 1 heard. I btarted up, dreadfully frightened. For fear 'twas an Indian's call ; And Ihcn very soon I remembered The red man ne'er w hhtles at all. And when I was sure 'twas a white man, I thought, were he coming for 111, He'd surely approach with moro caution- Would come without warning and still. Then the sounds coming nearer and nearer, Took the form of a tune, light and gay, And 1 knew I needn't fear evil From ono w ho could w hlstle that way. Very soon I heard footsteps approaching, Then came a peculiar dull thump, A s If somo one was heavily striking An ao In the top of a stump ; And then, In another brief moment, Thero came a light tap on the door, When quickly I undid thoafast'nlngs, And In stepped a boy, and before There was either a question or answer, Or either had time to speak, I Just threw my glad arms around him, And gave him u kiss on the check. Then I starred back, scared at my boldness. Hut he only smiled at my fright, As he said, "I'm your neighbor's boy, EUck, Como to tarry wllh you through tho night. "Wo saw your husband go eastward, And made up our minds whero he'd gone, Andlsaldtothorestof our people, 'That woman Is there all alone, And I venture she's awfully lonesome, And though shu may hat c no great fear, I think she w ould feel a bit safer If only a boy were but near,' "So, taking my ax ou my shoulder, For fear that a savage might stray Across my path, and need scalping, I started right down this way ; And coming In sight of tho cablu, And thinking to sate you alarm, I w hlstled a tune, Just to bhow you I didn't Intend any harm. "And so hero I am, at your scnleo Hut If you dont waut ine to stay, Why, all you need do Is to say so, And should' ring my ax, I'll away," I dropped In a chair and near fanled.

Uan.nia river nml Musntillo lagoon lire tlio only ilaaM on tlio ocean coast of tlio lenlnsiila frcnuentcil by ermine Pelican. Tho birds feed In tho shallow waters of the submerged sand bars, nnd roost on tho dry bars in tho mlddlo of tho lagoons at night. They nro extremely shy. Thero nro no cov ers near their feeding grounds, nnd they can not be fire-hunted, for they dasli into the darkness at tho slightest alarm. During a five winter s hunt I havo shot only one, and that with a Remington rlllo at six hundred yards. Last winter Dr. Fox of New rfmyr na killed four, which were skinned and mounted by Mr. Bryant, son of n late emi nent ornithologist of Massachusetts. The Doctor covered a canoo with mangrove boughs, and shoved it through tho shoal wa ter until within gunshot. Tho four fell at tho first fire. The gray or silver pelican fishes in deep water, descending upon its prey liko a fish hawk. The ermiiio bird, on tho contrary, stays on tlio shoals, and probably picks up its loou. I havo never seen it plunge as Its silvery sister does. Diving in shoal water it would break its neck. Tho two specie? are dissimilar in character. Tho gray bird is social and democratic ; tho ermine reserved and aristocratic. Tho latter seems endowed with the soul of a high cato I!rahmin,scorn Ing all other associations and never affiliat ing with the gray. I havo seen both species on a sand bar, but the ermine birds invaria bly formed a group by themselves and stood liko officers ou a quarter deck, casting super cilious glances at their neighbors. At such times I havo driven them oil", and sunk otter traps in tho sand, fancying that I might catch them on their return, but all iu vain. Whether this was owing to bad luck or tho superior intelligence of tho ermine bird, I know not. The gray was always the one caught. Tho llight of tho ermino pelicans is different from that of the gray. The lat ter follow their leader in Indian file, soaring when he soars and moving their wings at his signal ; the former generally lay their course and move steadily ahead regardless of each other's motions. Natives tell ine that ermine pelicans never breed in Florida. They aro said to raise their young on tho border of tho Arctic ocean. An old whaling captain avers that li Miscellaneous. FLUKIIIA'S SNOWY PELICAN'S. The shallowest bodies of salt water along tho Atlantic coast of Florida are Mot-imlto lagoon and llanana riyer. They are para! lei with tho ocean ; the lagoon north of the river, lioth aro withiti sound of the surf, and can be seen from the lighthouse at Cape Canaveral. They aro between five and b!x miles wide, and from twenty-five to thirty long. The average depth of water is less than two feet. Band bars and coral beds, acres iu extent, appear above their surface, or are barely covered, according to prevail ing winds. A traveler entering these watery stretches in a small Hat-bottomed sailboat see9 afar olT wbito ridges resembling banks of snow. As ho nears these banks the water notches them like the teeth of a saw, and they begin to look like rows of marble stat ues. At a distance of GOO yards each statue suddenly unfolds an enormous pair of wings and soars into tho heavens. They aro cr mine pelicans, the largest and heaviest birds in Florida. I hoy have been killed measur ing nine feet nine inches from tip to tip, and weighing over forty pounds. The plumage is snowy white, tho wings tipped with in vis ible green, Tho broad breasts are covered with down two Inches thick, soft as the soft est fur. In I'arU the skins havo been made into opera cloaks, and then sold at fabulous prices, Mulls and boas as white as tho driven snow are also made of tho down, and are A'l.l . t. t.nn..ttA.1 tl !.. nam lu ua luuta ucauutui tuuu i-riuint-! These lovely birds have full expressive eyes. enthroued above bills between two and three feet long, Tho upper hooks over the point of the lower bills, like the beak of an eagle, and la ridged from the nostrils half way down, Both are amber colored. The pouch Is unfeathcred, and resembles vulcanised rubber, It will hold half a bushel jf Csh. ie has frequently seen millions of them nest ing at the mouth of the Mackenzie river and in Atliabasca lake. They certaiuly do not visit Florida to escape the cold winters, for they are seen iu Mosquito lagoon and Iiana ua river during the entire summer. With tho gradual settlement of the eastern coast of Florida, all kinds of water fowl de crease in number. This is especially true of the gray or silver pelican. Eight years ago thero were a dozen colonies of these birds between the mouth of the St. Johns and Key Biscavne. Last winter I could find only one opposite the moutu ol tuo at. L,ucie. Mthough democratic by instinct, the silver pelican is tho impersonation of dignity, It sits on tho water, head erect, its long bill on its breast, like a gray-haired Judgo n the bench with hands clasped below his breast. The bird moves through the nir like an exalted lubber, head drawn in and neck thrown out in prow-shape, its beak protrud ing liko tho spar of a torpedo boat. Its pin ions creak with every motion. At regular intervals it soars, as though fulfilling an im portant religious duty. Long lines ily over tho beach, gravo as patrols, all moving their wings and soaring nt given signals. As they never make a graceful motion and never ut ter a cry, their gravity and dignity are amusing. Most people laugh outright on seeing a Hock for the first time. The body seems to be too heavy for the wings. When diving for fish on a still day the bird makes a splash that is audible for threo miles. It strikes the water head first, frequently misses its object,and turns a complete summersault. tVfter apparently rellecting a full minute ou the ups and downs of this life, it begins to beat tho water with its wings j its great webbed feet aro slowly drawn to tho sur face, and it mounts the sky for another plunge. During ebb tido thousands of pelicans are massed at Mosquito and Indian river inlets. They move over tho sands like an army, forming crude echelons land other military manieuvres ou sight of an enemy. At the crack of a ritlo all tho birds rise, casting great shadows on the beach and drowning the roar of the surf in tho rushing of their wings. They dash around the rilleman like .Sioux around a band of emigrants, and after u second shot they settle upon the sand out of range. With tho swelling of the tide, schools of cavallo and bluefish enter tho in let. Frightened swarms of mullet scurry for shoal wutcr. Sharks and porpoises follow in the wake of the cavallo and bluefish, und hunt the hunters. Then the army of pelicans move. The sky is darkened by their lubber ly bodies. They mako no cries, but sweep abovo the seething moss iu wide circles, swooping and plunging until their pouches aro filled with fat mullet. Then they return to the bars or bear away to their roosts, nnd await digestion Terrified or pleased, a matured pelican utters no sound, When cornered, it becomes aggressive and fights ferociously, but In si lencc. Its long bill is as dangerous as a tailor's shears. Ono n ip and a strip of flash disappears. The bird readily resents an iu dignity. Not long ago Capt. H. S. Sheldon saw a solitary gray pelican on a sand spit near Mosquito inlet. At his approach the bird manifested no fear. One foot was raised and both eyes wero closed. It was sound asleep. The Captain smiled, hesitated, and then kicked it in the most scientific manner, It landed ou the saud, turned round as though collecting its thoughts, b.iw Sheldon's legs, and went for its pound of flesh so success fully that tho Captain has kicked no more sleeping pelicans, Curiosity seems to be a trait la these sing' ular birds. While shooting Biiowy herons under cover of rubber trees on aii4slaud In Lake Worth, I saw a cock pelicau perched on a low bush twenty feet away, apparently regardlug uie with astonishment. Tho re port of the guu did not seem to frighten him. Alter a few shots I was surprised to see him approach mo. He came nearer at every discharge, until I made a rush ami caught him by tho bill. After jibing him I let him go. lie backed oil' a few steps, eye ing me intently, spread bis wings, gravely wabbled over tho low foliage, and I saw him no more. At that time only one person lived uear the lake, aud I was probably the first human being ever Been by tho old cock pelicau. The plumage of the cocks Is much brighte: than that of the hens, and the bird himself Is more trim and neat, lie has a crown of creamy feathers, and a soft brown fur covers tho nape of his neck. He is a silver gray In color, and his wings nnd back aro very beautiful. Shot on tho wing, pelicans dump the fish from their throats while falling to tho ground. Their mnln food is mullet and hickory shad. When their pouches nre fill ed tho fish pass Into their stomachs as corn docs through a hopper, the lowest being the first digested. An exclusively fish diet gives the pelican an aucient and fish-like smell, Tho body is loaded with fat, and a gun oil, unsurpassed in salt water countries, drips from it when hung In the sun. A visit to a pelican colony or roost Is well worth a journey to Florida. Theso colonics settle on mangrove islands, within reach of tho ocean beach. Hero they build their nests and rear their young. The trees soon die, but tho skeletons remain and aru piled with nests. Thick, rank grass grows on the richly mauured soil. Were it not for the high tides that havo washed theso islands for centuries, Florida might boast of guano deposits as cxtcnslvo as those of Peru. Two years ago last April, Mr. Charles Bostrotn and myself visited n pelican colony on a maugrovo island near tho mouth of the St. Sebastian. The forests of dead man grove3 wero whitewashed with guano. This gavo tho island nn aspect of civilization From the main land it looked as though a New Lncland villaco bad been set down on the broad bosom of the Indian river. A cloud' of pelicans overshadowed it, and Bteady streams poured north and south in search of food. Within five hundred yards we saw hundreds of great birds perched on tho dead limbs feeding their young. In the bright sunlight their backs shono like silver man tics. As wo neared them, most of them flew into the water and anchored within gunshot. A few held their ground until we steppoJ ashore. Finding the water very shallow, we landed on a dead tree blown Into the river. This tree was filled witii nests. As we took hold of its branches a scoro of lledgliugs opened their long bills nnd squalled liko terrified babies. Good-sized fish protruded from somo of their throats, but their victuals did not stop their mouths. A3 we picked our way along the slippery trftuk, the puny youngsters viciously struck at us, and en deavored to flutter out of reach." The islaud was paved and roofed with nests. Tho dead mangroves were loaded, nnd the grass and sand carpeted with eggs and lledgliugs. It was difficult to walk without crushing them. Tamperlug with History.

Those who havo visited tho New York Aquarium have probably noticed that the two tanks containing specimens of a pickerel and catfish are situated side by side and con nected by a two-inch pipe, through which the water circulates. Yesterday by some means the wlro protection which covers the mouth of the pipe fell off, and a pickerel of an Inquiring turn of mind, Immediately took advantage of thecirenmstancestomake elicans were there of all sizes and condi tions, from tho leathery little fellow half out f the egg, to those ready to quit the nest. Such a clatter I never befqre heard. The young birds certaiuly mako up for their si lence in old ago by their noise in tho cradle. Those most matured left their nests and marched through the grass, a battalion ressed in white, uttering piercing erics. As we advanced, company after company joined the battalion, and on reaching tho other side of tho island, over five thousand young birds wero in its ranks, filling the heavens with screams of terror. Those unable to move redoubled their cries, and tho noise became deafening. It was only by shouting that we made ourselves heard. The fleet of old birds remained anchored off the island, silent and motionless. Kvery eye was fastened qn us. They knew they were powerless, and sat on tho water liko stoics, calmly awaiting the the decrees of fate Nearly all the young ones were gorged with fresh fish. In some cases the fish were actually Uoundering iu their throats. I saw ne hydrocephalus mite, featherless and feeble, lying on its side, its bill closed on n fish twice its weight. From appearances tho fish was swallowing tlio pelican. Pulling it out by the tail, I found the head partly di gested, and the rest of its body would tin doubtedly have gone through the same hop per-llko process. Some of the lledgliugs hud become goggle-eyed iu their efforts to swat low large fish. Generally there were twobirds to a nest. Stfino nests, however, contained three or four, and I saw one holding five, The youug seem to feather very slowly. At a short distauce they look liko naked in rants. Hearing no guns and perceiviug that wo did not injure their youug, the ten thousand old birds began to return. They bad been visited by heartless wretches who, for mere sport, had shot heads of families and knocked over their children. The dried skeletons tinder tho dead trees told tho story. Assured of our pacific intentions, many reoccupicd their nests. And not too soon, for a cloud of vicious crows had taken advantage of their absence, aud were carrying off eggs and beating out the brains of the tender young, The young battalliou was scattered, and the mothers were driving home their broods as we re-embarked. The pelicans all left the water and resumed their perches on the dead limbs, while the stream of fish-bearers poured in from tho ocea'i In wet weather the odor from tho island is said to be overpowering. Wo visited it on a clear, dry day, While anything but agree' able, it was not sickening. Dr. Wittlefield of Merritt's Island savs that he saw thl roost somo years ago, beforo batching sea son. A lien sat on every nest and was fed by its mate. The doctor's companion thoughtlessly clubbed a Betting hen, and thereat the whole body arose, darkening th sun. The birds emptied their nouches as they went up, and the two men were almost buried under a shower of fish. The doctoi declares that thirty bushels or more fell to the ground. During tho Seminole war, soldiers stu tioned ut Dunlawtou spent much time I bass fishing. They got bait from a largi pelican loost on tho Halifax river. That roost aud the one I have described are de serted and the only roost remaining between bt. Augustine and New River Inlet Is oppo- slto the mouth of the St. Lucie. The poor birds have been wantonly massacred, am: their bodies left to rot. In a few years a the colonies will be wiped out. I am told that one man killed a boat load of tledglings aud carried them fifty miles using them to manure an orange grove Unfeeling scami tie live fish to boards, and sink tliem an inch or two beneath the surface of tlu water. The pelican is thus decoyed from the s ky and its brain dashed out by the plunge.

If an occasional Cromwell stoutly demands to be painted with his wart illustrious men are not equally eager to set forth their moral blemishes and mental blunders, but suffer their reports and their official chroniclers to excuse or deftly dis guise them National pride and various kinds of par tisanship also resent the rough handling of historic heroes. The portrait of William Pcnn which Macaulay drew roused tho in ndignation of many Quakers, iu whote minds Peun had enmo to be a figure quite free from tho human frailties which the his torian ascribed to him. When Thackeray, the "Virginians, sketched Washington an ordinary mortal, falling in love and quarrelling in a very ordinary way, the pic' turo shocked mauy Americans, for Wash- gton is our patron saint. We had pre ferred to divest him of the frivolous gall&n tries in which youth commonly indulged, and to think of him as "loving but once," when he led the widow Custis to the altar, Bishop Meade, however, tells us, in his Old Churches and Families of Virginia," that Miss Gary had previously captivated the aflections of young Washington, aud re jected the offer of his hand ; and there are rumors of other liko experience-sin Wash ington's life. A rare, perhaps solitary lapse into pro fanity, under sudden irritation, is hardly a matter to be concealed in Washington's fe, since it really serves to bring Into the glit of positive virtues his habitual self- restraint and decorum ; yet some eulogists would gloss even that speck on the tun, Such eulogists think it wise to figure our first President as a recognized demigod among his contemporaries, ignoring th fact that hostile newspapers- called him a traitor, an ally of Britain, "a stupendous monument of perfidy, ingratitude, and de generacy," and that his impeachment was called for. While tho treaty with Kngland which he favored, was under discussion, his merits," says Young, "as a soldier and tatcsman, were disparaged. His private character did not escape detraction. He was accused of having overdrawn the amount of his salary and appropriated the money to his private uso." Washington iimself. In regard to the attacks of the press upon him for his treaty policy, wrote that he could not have believed that every act of bis administration would be tortured, and tho grossest misrepresentations of them made, "and that, too, iu such exaggerated and indecent terms as could scarcely be ap lied to a Nero, a notorious defaulter, or even to a common pickpocket. G. JbnJ, in The Qalaxyfor July, A little girl was suffering from tlio mumps and declared that she "felt as though a head' ache bad slipped down into her uect," nervously about as if in council, The pick erel, although considerably larger than any of the catfish, showed from the first by his behavior that he had mado a mistake, and instead of swimming round and regaling himself with a few catfish at once, showed a respect for his little frieuds, which was sur prising. Nay, more so, so far from desiring to force his company upon those who clear ly could dispense with It, he, with a delicacy that was refreshing in one usually so rude, kept co near tho surface of the water that he appeared desirous, if possible, to get out of it. The sequel explained all this sudden assumption of refinement, for presently the largest of the catfish left bis little crowd of friends at the bottom of the tank, and after a few turns round, boldly rose to the surfaco and took a good look at the pickerel, who appeared not to be aware of his presence. The catfish soon made himself known, for after taking another turn or two, as if to gather force, he made a rush and a butt with all his force at the pickerel and then retired to his corner. The effect of the blow upon the pickerel was as If he had been electri fied ; he dashed wildly in all directions, ex cept in the neighborhood of the catfish, and at length subsided to his original position. Thus ended round one, which was but a pre lude to others of a like character, which was kept up for over an hour, when the pickerel reversed the position in which the fish usu a'ly swim as a signal of defeat, and without a struggle yielded up the ghost. Strangely the pickerel, though larger than the catfish, which he could have swallowed with ease, from first to last, made uo show of resist ance, and allowed himself to bo butted to death without 'any effort to resist or punish his tormentor. Tho sight of the catfish had taken all the bully out of the pickerel, who, however, showed no signs of the punishment he received, for not a scale was dam aged, and a torn fin was the only token of the late en counter.

The breath of life in furnace-heated houses depends lit erally on the air of the cellar, unless there be a Hue for fresh air extending from the fur nace out of doors (never the case in cheap, showy houses). The air of the whole house is sucked through this narrow and unclean apartment, the care of which is usually in trusted to ignorant servants. We have spo ken in a previous number of the malaria en gendered by massing quantities of vegeta bles iu the cellars as is the practice in farm houses during the winter. The lining of stone or cement not only prevents dampness but is absolutely necessary in streets through which the sewers pass, as a protection from rats. Terriers, ferrets, traps or poison are feeble defenses against the legions which swarm lu nightly from a neighboring cul vert. Next to the cellars comes the kitch en, which should be large, airy and sunny. To take no higher ground, conveniences in this department are a politic investment which pays a full interest of capital, espec ially to the housekeeper who does not lira in a largo city. Stationery tubs, closets be neath the dressers for flour, dry groceries, spices, etc. will be likely to tempt into her household a better class of servants, and when she is forced to turn cook and baker herself, will take half the burden from her weary hands.
