A Spring-Time Cliirp.
Tlie bluo-birda and tho robins red
Tliis moruing came in pairs; Thc blue birds witb much modesty,
The robins with some airs. Thc morning winds moved gently
The reddening maple troo, Wliore tlic blue birds .and the robbins
Piped tlieir ?<miii;,'-time minstrelsy.
Tiie ,iudio!ico room was very large.
The audience rather small— Peering through half closed window blinds,
One ''family cirelo"' all." The ecrtai'i rose .it break of day,
Dissolving into nir; The singers promptly were in place,
For morning prai.sc a:id prayer.
TIic litlle chirping soloists;-
And choristers its well, Thrilled elearly all tbe higher notes,
And lo the lowost fell. So perfectly, in time and tane,
tio blithely, and so gay, Y.liilc thc King of Day, from the eastern sky.
Throws his robes of night away.
.Kml in his car of molten guld,
With clouJ-.«tceds snowy white On perfumed breath—thc morning air,
Uodo up tbc Eropjroan height, In regal robes and royal state,
Passing onr maple tree, W^herc tho blue birds and the robins
Sung their moraing melody.
Nn flats, nd sharps, not onc false note,
None hired fo ery '*cncore;" The daily pro3;r4nimc warbled through,
All this and nothing more, Comprising spring-time songs of joy,
At early break of day, ^From the blue-birds aud the robiiia,
In a genuine matinee.
"RMth earliest listeners only—
With only tliose who hear Thc song of-the birds in spring-time,
With eaaer listening ear ; Thc skj- for an auditorium,
Thc budding trees for bowers For at guest the Sun ofthe moruiag.
Such at^very precious hours.
But, ah, thc concert doses >   - -
Too soou, by far, each day. And we look, aud wait, and listen,
As tho bird-notes die away. Iu the dim and vaulted distance
Of thc blue, .ethereal sky, Leaving rainbow tints of beautj-.
At our feet, as thc world goes by.

Late Honrs. ..    .
 -_     ¦:¦ IiiAi vac -.:...
Late hours are canning more people to
untimely graves tlian the deadly missiles of warfare. The bullet and the crashing shell mangle limbs and inflict flesli wounds, but miduight dissipation impairs thc whole system, and hurries all ages and sexes under the sod. This growing ten¬ dency to turn night into day is one of thc most serious ofour social evils and should receive tha earnest consideration bf those interested in the welfare of the hmntn raca. By looking back at the newspapers of that tima. it will ba found th.it New Yorkers, nt the begTnning of this century, departed from places ot' aiaaseaieiit: not far froPi tha time at whicli thisy now eater thom. The doors of the theatre oponefl at half-past five o'clock, and tho curtin "rose at ha.if-past six." Thc early knickerbock¬ ers attended parties and other social gath¬ erings at seven, and returned home be¬ tween nine and ten o'clock.
Now all this is changed, and '.'between nine aud ton" is the f'a.shionablc hour for going out. And what is true of grown people is rapidly becoming troe of juve¬ niles. Youngsters in roundabouts -and misses iu short dresses arc ariai^iug their finery lung after the hour when children of the last generation were tucked awSy in their trundle-beds Littic ones—^scaTce loosened from their mother^'n aproii-«triD|:s —and dispatched in carriages tn "chii¬ dren's parties," from half-past eight until half-past nine, and brouglit home at mid¬ night or 1 iter. "Don't h'ave the carriage yet," said a little miss in our hearing a ftiw evenings since; no one else will bj th^re until half-past luue;" aud with that sho gave a to.ss of her head, as much as to say that sho was uut going to keep aiiy less fashionable hours than her mafama:
There is certainly no oc. asion to go be¬ yond this condition of afiiiirs for aa oi- planation of the physical deterioration of both sexes.    How v-ery few robust  men and women are to be foufid  now-a-days! Clan we  not each  count on   our fingers' ends all the friends and acquaintances w)io arc fr'.'O from bodiiy  ailments  and-i-etijoy good health'!    Yv'e comment upou the fact that young men become bald and jirema- turoly glow old ; that young ladies are al¬ most invariably coniplainirig of pain in'the head or side, havo a pale  weary look, and rarely exhibit  these  ruddy cuunteuunee-s which   are    rO , eommon     among   tbcir j Eugiish sisters.    But does it occur to  p.i- rcnts that they are to :: great extent re¬ sponsible for this; that  they are mainly to blame that fashionable revelry and dis- I sipation are now protracted  fur  into the I night, robbing  old  aud  yo"aag  alike  of I health ?    If they in throwing upen   their I houses io company  unll that  the guests shall retire at a reasonable hour, tlie quests will do so.
The prevailing fashion cannot be per¬ petuated without the consent of tho "heads of the establtshiucut." However late thc "young folks" may desire to pro¬ tract their festivities, they must conform to the-requirements of the- "old foHw," the householders. Wc say, then, it is not the young, the youthful pleasure seekers who ara responsible for thc late hour folly so much as tho parents, who havc it in their powor to stop it. So far as children arc 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 provent tlieir children from adopting their own ruinous practices. "Early to bed ;ind early to rise" is a maj^- im whieii caunot bc to strictly observed by both old and young.—Hearth  and Home.

Pat's Colt.
A gentleman who favors us with ,soi|ie reminiscences respecting tho early settle¬ ment of old Darrytield, N. IL,—relKtesthe following anecdote: ...
When my grandfather resided at GoD^- town and Dorryfield, theu sttled by the Irish, he hired a wild sort ofan Trisbnian to work un his farm. Ono day soon after his arrival, ho told him to take a bridle and go out in the field and catch the black colt. •'Don't cumu without him,".said the old gentlemon. Patrick started and was goue .some ti'afo", but at list rcf urned without a bridle, with his fa^-e and kinds" imdly suEatched, a.s though hc'had reeeived bad treatment.
""SYhy, Patrick, what is tha matter ?wli:^t in the world .Ills J'OU?" '
"An' faith, isn't it hio. yuur honor,'fhat uever will catch the old black colt agMn '' Bad luck to him! An' didu't he alb ba^ scratch tho eyes out o' my head ?. An' faith as true as my shimldor's my own, I had to climb up thc tree after the colt!"
"Climb a tree after him? Nonaeiise'I Where is tha beast ?¦'     >.:      ¦.-.-'¦   ^.-vs'-'
"An' it's tied to tha. treq^be.ia, to. .lite sliurc, yor h.'MKi'." • ,    r
"We all followc.l Patrick to the . spat to get a solution of thc difficulty, .-md on reacli- ing the field, we found, to our no saaR amusement, that he had been chasing a young black hare, which he had succeeded in .catching aftera gre.it deal of rough usagO on both sides, and actu.illy tied it with the bridle to an old tree. Brain was kept fur a long time, and was over after known as Patrick's colt.
