Those, hOWever, who have kept a close watch upon living green things in their natiVe condition have generally leerned by slow degrees to take quite a. diflerent View of plant morals and plant economy. They begin to find out in the course of their observa- tions that the life of a. herb is pretty much as the life of an animal in al- most everything save one small par- ticular. The plant, as a rule, is rooted to a. single spot; the animal, as a, rule, is free and locomotive. A, shout of "Hold there!" and the Catholic priest leaped into the midst of the melee, a good stout shillalah in his hand. Placing a foot on each side of the wounded man. he twisted his stick.in a manner that suggested Donnybrook Fair, and called to his own people “to touch the man if they dare.” When they became a little calmer he had the man carried into his own kitchen (which adjoim-d the church), and had his Wound dressed. We were told, later on. that he. had nine men brought in and cared for. In the meantime ,when the row began, every man who had been obliged to give up his stick made a rush to the husting's to regain it. the result being: that the hastily-constructed building came down like a house built of cards. Mr. Grant Allen, in a book of his charming studies entitled, "Flash- lights on Nature,” says: “People who have never had occasion to ob- serve plants closely often fall into the error of regarding them as prac- tically deadâ€"dead, that is to say, in the sense of never doing or contriv- ing anything active. They know, of course, that herbs or trees grow and incroaae. that they flower and fruit, that they put forth green leaves in the sprig; and lose them in the an: tuml. 1: they picture this as tak- ing place without the knowledge or coâ€"operation of the plant itselfâ€"they The riot ended only when a, com- pany of British regulars arrived. and the Riot Act was read. The olficcrs in command were Captain Crutchlcv. afterwards a general, and Watkin Wynne, afterwards Sir ‘v’atkin Wynne. who was killed in the Crimea while attempting to give a drink of water to a. wounded Russian. mm 2L mm. 3 5 a... O. The'following day this went on till nearly the close of the poll, when a man who had been obliged to give up his =stick saw another with a pistol. Upon musing him of having it -the man ran to one of the booths. and lean-mg over the counter, dropped it behind a. barrel. In one moment the crowd were upon him and down Went the booth. The man fell, and his head. in a 'very short time, was like a. red nightcap. Sticks and “handv billins” (a. stone or piece of lead in the top of a. stocking). were flying about the heads of the crowd. The man would have been killed (110 was an Orangeman) if it had not been for the arrival of an unexpected rescuer. Emu: may an c'arrfcld canE-E ’0:- sticks of some kind. The rcturing ofliccxf‘ hating threats, ordered that. everyimn who came updo vote must first give up his stick. This thop seemed to do willingly enough.

It de- ‘velops every side of his nature, and if there goes with it a lively desire for human communion which prevents a man from being a. mere book-worm, be sure that this earth harbors a personality that will make it bright- er. It is the pleasure of men like Casey to radiate their charm in snug little smoking-room circles and to make comradeship a blessing. When the fortunes of politics turned against the whilom member for West Elgin, his friends got together and said: "What can we do for this good soul " There were two things op- en, either of which Casey was emi. nently fitted to fillâ€"the archives or a. post in the library. The archives were not in the legislative building. The library was, and so Casey got, the place in the library, where he would be near his companions of the olden time. Whatever may be ma abodt politicians. they like to keep the mbeamshear them. They re. fused to make a postmaster of that other bright spot and hold him at a distance of two hundred miles No: ate. whom,- he would new“ f' M «new mm‘nnn tholigh a man of family. of line 01.!

When men less brilliant but more practical pressed forward with single aim to the lonely moun- tain tops of supremacy, Casey fell quietly back where the company was more cheerful and the talk more en- tertaining. And being of the name of Casey, he had too keen a sense of humor ever to be a. leader. Garfield. who was a great wag, having once formed the ambition to become Pre- sident of the United States, deliber- ately forbore from that time on to make anything like a joke. All the hon mots that are now ascribed to Lincoln gained currency after his death. Casey was a delightful racon- teur.

There were only one or two things yet to show the boy before the city claimed us.

It is love of virtue, not tear of law. that make. civilization. a 1 l suy honors, won a large measure on distinction. He was a. brilliant lin- guist. and could address the House in both the authorized languages. a. faculty as rare then among the Eng:- lish-speaking:members o! the House as it is now. Casey had a veritable gift of tongues, and one of his fav- orite recreations was to keep on add- ingr to his pol-yglot equipment. It is almost safe to say that Casey was the only man at Ottawa who habit- ually drew from the «Parliamentary library books in English, French. Spanish, Italian, and German. He had picked up somewhere a working knowledge of the Cree tongue and had a scholarly acquaintance with many of the Indian dialectS. Wher- ever he met on his travels a new lan- guage, or for that matter a patois. it was his custom to stick to it until he had acquired an adequate vocabu- lary and a fair comprehension of . its syntactical peculiarities. He shared with Nicholas Flood Davin the habit” of seasoning his speeches with Latin and Greek quotations, and he could use his Horace like a gentleman of the Elizabethan period. But this was only when he was on parade, and that not. from a vanity of learning. but from sheer inability to keen down the ebullient riches of his mind. Casey was not a. pedant. He conceived that a subject which was worthy of being: publicly debated was worthy of the most glittering treatâ€" ment. that his memory and fancy could give it. In private he never ob- truded his superior attainments. Alâ€" though a man of family. of line. ol.l Irish descent. and of almost seignorâ€" ial standing in his county, he was a staunch denim-rat and a practical believer in liberty. equality and fra- ternity.

But only [or a little. tor alter climbing the slippery hillside we dropped in on a sociable party of 1 long sparrows who had not yet gone eouth. But they were shy and Wary. and the boy and I did not get much more than a, glimpse of them. Not so with the whiteobreasted nuthatch, however. and the boy watched in- terestedly as I showed him the bird tram-ling gravely head downward on the tree trunks lovking for insects. Further on we caught a flash of blue as a shy bluejay dashed equalling into a thicket.

Now we were home- ward bound. and after a space the familiar "chich-a-deeâ€"dee" saluted us and we got into a Whole family of the busy little biackcaps feeding in- dustriously and calling cheerily to each other right under our very nos- es.
