Thanksgiving. BY ALGERNON CMAR' ES SWINKURKNE

A new year gleams on us, tearful, And troubled and smiling dim

As the smile on a lip, still fearful, As glances of eves that swim ;

Bat the bird of my heart makes cheerful Che days that are bright for him.

Child, how may a man’s love merit Phe grace you shed as you stand, The gitt that is yours to inherit ? Through you are the bleak days bland ; Your voice is a hight to my spint; You bring the sun in your hand.

The year’s wing shows not a feather As yet of the plumes to be,

Yet here in the shrill gray weather rhe Spring's self stands at my knee,

And laughs as we commune together, And hghtens the world we see.

The rains are as dews for the christening Of dawns that the nights benumb ; The Spring’s voice answers me listening For speech of a child to come, | While promise of music is glistening On lips that delight keeps dumb.

The mists and the storms receding At sight of you smile and die ;

Your eyes held wide on me reading, Shel Summer across the sky;

Your heart shines clear for me, heeding No more of the world than I.

The -vorld, what it was to you, dear, And me, if its face be gray,

And the new-born year be a shrewd year For flowers that the fierce winds flay * You smile, and the sky seems blue, dear ;

You laugh, and the month turns May.

Love cares not for care; he has daffed her Aside as a mate for guile;

The sight that my soul yearns after Feeds full my sense for a while;

Your sweet little sun-faced laughter, Your good little, glad grave smile,

Your hands through the book-shelves flutter; Seott, Shakespeare, Dickens, are caught;

Blake's visions that lighten and mutter: Moliere—and his smile has naught

Let on it of sorrow, to utter The secret things of his thought.

No grim thing written or graven But grows, if you gaze on it, bright ; A lark’s note rings from the raven, And tragedy’s robe turns white ; And shipwrecks drift into haven ; And darkness laughs, and is hght.

Grief seems but a vision of madness ; Life’s key note rings from above,

With naught in it more of sadness, Than broods on the heart of a dove ;

At sight of you thought grows gladness, And life, through love of you, love.

Confederation in Australia.

Confederation appears to be marching on in Ausiralia. The Agent General of Victoria in London, has _ received a tele- graphic despatch from the Hon. James Service, Premier ot the colony, and chair- man of the Committee of Ministers ap pointed by the Sydney Convention, stating that the South Australian House of Assembly has passed the address in favor of the constitution of a Federal Council of

Australasia by a majority of twenty- two. The House of Assembly of South Austrailia consists of forty-six

members,—so that not more than eleven members coukl have opposed the Con- federation scheme. Of the seven Austral- asian colonies, five—Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Western Australia, and now South Australia—have affirmed the pro- posals of the Sydney Convention in favor of confederation. The other two, New South Wales and New Zealand, will no doubt soon be heard from and that in a favorable sense.

Sir John Lubbock has taught his dog to read, a French savant is trying the same experiment with his cuckatoo, an American reptile collector has a number of lizards whom he instructs in music, a German professor taught acranetodo everything but talk, a Boston lady is giving a higher education toa number of spiders caught and tamed hy herself, and physiologists and vivi-sectionists purpose the training of two orthree generations of dogs in order to make their descendants produce articu- late sounds. What will the next thing be? Presumably this: The educated animals will adopt the manners of the human race and its manifold requiremen‘s, and new branches of industry will spring up—a blessing both to man and beast.

te

The Clydesdale breeders of Scotland have had a capital foaling season, and the turns-out of yearling colts and fillies for next year’s shows are expected to be the largest and best ever known. The stallion owners have had no reason to be dissatis- fied, and one gentleman makes no secret of the fact that he has cleared over a full thousand pounds from his horse for this season alone. This gives hima clear gain of £5,000 and a horse, for which he could get £1,500—by no means bad business out = investment of £80 for a yearling coit.

The stormy petrel possesses a very large amount of oil, which, when terrified, it has the power of throwing from its mouth. In the Faroe Islands the people draw a wick through its body, when it is young and fat, and lighting the end that pro- jects from the beak, use it foralamp. It will burn a long time.

**You can do anything, if you have pa- tience,” said an old uncle, who had made a fortune, to his nephew, who had nearly spentone. ‘‘Water may be carried in a sieve, if you only wait.” ‘‘How long ?” asked the penitent spendthrift. ‘Till it freezes,’ was the cold reply.
