J » BY OUVB THOBHK. ' Tlieway it began, Hannah TO cross tluit day. For one thing, she had a big Thanksgiving baking to do in an old- fashioned house, where pies and cakes were made by the quantity. Then, while she was out of the kitchen a moment, Margery, in a frolic with puss, had upset the churn with its load of cream all over the snow-white floor. That made plenty of extra work ; but the crowning disaster was to And, wheA Hhe went to the pantry for the beans she intended to bake, that a bottle of brandy that she had kept last summer to bathe her# ankle, which she had sprained in falling down the cellar-stairs, had been upset. It stood far out of the way on the top shelf, but, unfortunately, the of beans was directly under it, and the brandy had dripped over them, soaking them so thorougldy that it was not pos­ sible to use them. Btit the worst was yet to come. On finding the beans ruined, she simply emptied them into the pail which stood at the kitchen door, and, washing her hands, set to work to knead her big pari of puffy bread-dough. Now the kitchen-door opened into a woodshed, and the ash-pail, with the beans on top, was supposed to be safe enough; but, unfortunately, on this special afternoon, the outside door was ajar. The beans had not been there long be­ fore the turkeys came around to be fed, as usual; and ono of them, of a prying disposition, noticed the open door, and, probably remembering the good things that, came out of the door, quietly hopped on the step and walked in. •Rotliing to be seen but piles of wood for the season, now getting severe, and --yes--a pail with sometlxing in it. " Ah! that looks good; I'll try it," thoitght the curious turkey (no doubt). She did try it, and, not being sensitive in either taste or smell, she never stopped trying it until she had swallowed all the tap ones, soaked in brandy, and then turned to go. The effect was sad. Her head whirled around, it is sup­ posed ; at any rate, her legs refused" to hoklher up, and she fell- to the ground in: a flannel skirt; but cold conquered it, and at last it cuddled down quietly in its strange new bed. Through the long Sunday that fol­ lowed the turkey was kept a close pria- ken at this tendency to vagrancy in her pet, but Hannah only smiled and said : " Wait a bit, and youH see something liioe." But, though Hannah had her sus- oner, and by the next morning many ; picions, she was not prepared for what plans had been thought out for its com- j really occurred one day. After this strange conduct had been going on for a few weeks, there came a day when Hannah had another scare. She declared that tramps or thieves wow up in the wood-*hed elminber; she heard them and she dared not go up. While she stood in the wood-shed tell­ ing Margery in a whisper about it, the child heard a step that she knew. Kris hopped down on to the top step of the stairs which led to the room overhead. After a moment she hopped to the next, and after her came, 6ne by one, twelve baby turkeys. Margery screamed with delight, and ran to catch Kris and pet the whole fam­ ily, wliile Hannah rushed up stairs in dismay and saw a sight that shocked her more than the fear of tramps. , httarlatCT, Hannah went out | for xjwrfc wood to replenish her Are, and* in the gathering darkness stumbled over the turkey still lying there. i A glance at the fowl, to see that she ; was not outwardly hurt, and another at I the pail, told the shameful story. ! " Here's a line bito' work !" exclaimed ! Hannah, turning the limp turkey over. : " The idiot has gone and killed herself 1 entirely with those beans I I'd like to know who left open that door ! Well, ' well, I want a turkey for Thanksgiving, and this one died by accident, and its i meat will be as good as though I'd : wrung her neck." 1 So muttering and grumbling to her- i self, after fixing her tire, she attacked . the turkey, for, though she was some­ times cross, she was always economical,, : and she knew no questions would be asked as to how it came to its end, pro- • vided it wan fat, and was roasted well. ' In a few minutes, she had the feathers [ off, except those on the wings and tail, i and she laid the picked turkey on a bench to cool, shutting the door to keep , out the cat while she finished some other work. Meantime, tea-time arrived; the fam­ ily came home, and were all at the table, when the door burst open and Hannah rushed in, evidently frightened out of her wits. ' " O, Mr. Winslow," she cried,4' there's , something in the woodshed I--all in white, and it ran after me when I went for some wood, and I daren't go out . there, if you plaze !" I Mr. Winslow, supposing some ani- . rnal had got in, left the table, and, arm- • ing himself with the poker as he passed through the kitchen, threw open the door. Silence and darkness only. I Yet in a moment came an audible I rustling on the woodpile, and an indis­ tinct glimpse of something white. "Bring the light, Hannah!" called Mr. Winslow; and, taking a candle from her trembling hand, he led the way to the dtrange object. t "It's a white--why, no, it i§n't!" he interrupted himself, as he drew nearer : to the fluttering, frightened thing. "It's i --1 dec'are, it's a picked turkey ! Where f on earth--" " A picked turkey!' screamed Han- fort. That was a great day to Margery, who 1 was confined to the house by delicate lungs, and who longed for something to pass away the hours when lessons were over and the daily sewing '* stint" fin­ ished. Here was something to do! The new pet was fed, and the lessons and sewing hurried through, so that by noon she was free to carry out her plans. By this time, the turkey had found out that Margery- wouldn't "hurt it, and was not so frightened as it had been last night; so when the little girl took it in her arms, it made no objection, " Now you must have a name," said Margery, softly, carrying her new play­ thing off into her own especial corner of the big kitchen, where work and Han­ nah never came. "Let me see," die went on, " I'll name you after my lovely doll that got broken--Kristine^--and I must make you some clothes, so you can walk around, and not be hobbled* up so." With the help of mamma, the busy little girl contrived a sort of coat for Kristine. It was made of an old shawl, and was bright scarlet, with black and white plaid. It came pretty well up on the neck, and of course covered the naked legs ; the wings were left inside. It was fas­ tened together at the breast, and was really a pretty good fit--Considering, As ornament Margery sewed some of the fringe of the shawl around tlie neck, like a ruff, at the edges where wings ought to be, and around the legs. So, when dressed, the unfortunate, or rather the naughty turkey, looked like a new plaid variety of scarlet flamingo, with side- pockets and fringed drawers. The appearance of Kristine stalking around in her new suit was very funny. How the bovs did laugh ! and even papa had to wipe away the laugh­ ing tears. In this dress, the next morning, after she had been fed daintily, Mar­ gery introduced her to her old friends of the poultry-yard by opening the kitchen door and letting her walk out where the turkeys were taking their breakfast. Margery thought they would be glad to see herf but alas ! this distinguished stranger in gay attire was not recog­ nized. They stared and scolded at her, and the old gobbler ruffled up his feathers, and dragged his wings on the ground, and came to her, saying, an­ grily-- " Gobble-gobble-gobble!" Kristine seemed to be disheartened at this coolness on the part of her family, and slunk into a corner, as though ashamed of her fine dress. Then the family crowded around her to punish her impertinence in coming among them, and actually began to peck at her. Margery, who was watching from the window, could hardly believe her eyes at first; but yes, they were actually pecking at the poor outcast, who finally fled screaming across the yard. Mar­ gery flew to the door, and Kristine hur­ ried in, just in time to escape the whole family, who were close upon her. " You poor, dear Kristine!" she mur­ mured over her wlien she had her safely in arms. " Did they peck you ?--the naughty things! You sha'n't go with them any more ! You shall stay with me in the house." So it came to be at last Hannah grumbled a little, but, after all, she couldn't say much, for it was by her own fault that the poor thing lost its own winter coat. Before long the fami­ ly grew quite attached to Margery's pet, whose name they shortened to Kris. On her part, Kris was a very bright bird. She would come when called by name, and she never failed to be on hand at meal-times, when she .would walk around the table and receive deli­ cate bits from every one. While her little mistress was studying or sewing, Kris would stand aud look at her, turning her knowing head first one side and then the other, and sometimes saying, in a reflective way : " Quit!" As soon as books and work were put away she was ready for play. In fact, she enjoyed her strange life very much, and grew fat under it, so that pretty soon tli^ boys began to tease Margery by suggesting that her pet was ready to take her place on the table. The only time she seemed to be un­ comfortable was when the cheerful kitchen was scrubbed. Fascination hi Man. Having frequently seen it stated iti pop­ ular works on natural history, as well as iu some books of travels (chiefly Aus­ tralian) that certain snakes possessed the power of so fascinating, with their gaze, birds and other creatures as to be able to seize »i>on and devour tliem without any difficulty, I am induced to inquire if such a power is peculiar to the serpent trilie or not, and incidentally to ask if any instance of its influence vr extension can be traced up the scale of creation to man himself. Being of opinion that such is the ease, while it has occurred to me that many of the fatal accidents that occur in the streets of large cities, such as London, etc., might be ascribed to some such agency or sensation, I am hi- dueed to cull attention to the circum­ stances in these i>ages, and to submit the following as my own personal contribu­ tions toward the inquiry: Describing certain incidents ia the siege of Gibral­ tar. Drinkwatcr says ("History," page 75) "that on the9th Lieut. Lowe* * * In that room trunks and things not in lost his leg by a shot on the slope of the use were stored, and a month or more ago Hannah had carried up there a large, square, "squawbasket" with a cov­ er--a basket such as the Oneida In­ dians of New York State make for vari­ ous household uses of their white sis­ ters. This basket was nearly full of the winter supply of woolen sinkings, all neatly mended and laid away till fall. In this basket, on these soft stockings, had Madame Kristine made her nest and hatched out her interesting family. She must have found the door ajar, end managed to pry off the cover, which lay on one side, aud here she hadhidden all these weeks. The room was put in order and the door closed, and Kristine was provided with a place in the yard. Every day she wandered off with her babies, but she never started until she had visited the brcakfast-fetble with her whole brood to get her regular morning meal. At first it was funny to see them run around and pick up crumbs, but as they grew it began to be troublesome to have a flock of turkeys so much at home in the house. So mamma made a new law, that Kristine and her family must be fed at the dpor. After that, her life was like that of the other turkeys, only she knew her name and would come when called, and never failed to run up to Margery whenever she saw her. And the dinner that walked away last year supplied twelve dinners this year, and provided Margery with a fine lot of ! pocket-mouey for her pains, the the feathers from the American eagle, fills the air with poetic melody, and , sways and swings and surges in his own eloquence like a twittering bluebird on j the end of a pendant cherry limb.

One of the most novel deaths that eve£ occurred in this section took place here to-day, the victim of which was a monkey owned by Mr. Rockwell Syrock. The animal was quite a favorite with all the children for miles around, and knew most of them. For several years past Jocko's owner has been in the habit of vis­ iting all the hangings in this portion of the State, taking the mischievous animal with him, who always seemed to take an especial interest in the horrible details of such proceedings. On the 25th of June Alex Howard, a negro, was to have been executed here for the murder of an old man, but the Governor respited him. The gibbet was erected and all the pre­ liminary arrangements made for carrying out the negro's sentence, when the* Ex­ ecutive interposed his power and post­ poned it. Syrock visited the jail with the monkey and examined these prepara­ tions. The animal seemed to be unusually curious, and watched the see. ff< >ld trap with wistful eyes. Since that time he has been playing hanging in his master's barn. This morning he was found dead, suspended by a clotlies-Uue to one of the rafters of the building.--*Gold#boro (N. C.) Cor.

Ancient Boot-Making. The first mention of a book in the j at times l>le Bible is in Genesis v. 1, where it is im- j »ea8t excitement plied that some kinds of records were kept from the very days of Adam. Some j think that the book of Job was written I earlier than the books of Moses. With- ! jmt doubt it belongs to the time of the patriarchs. Books in the early ages were written on tho leaves of the papyrus, on skins, on cloth, on tablets of stone, of wood, of lead and of brass. Among the He­ brews the sacred books were usually written on skins prepared like the parchment of modern times. To form even one principal section of the Biblfe many skins had to be sewed together. When written upon, the connected skin or volume was rolled upon a round piece of wood, or, if long, upon two pieces from the two ends. The reader there­ fore unrolled the book to the place he wanted, and rolled it up again when he ceased to read. (See Luke iv. 17-20.) The volume thus rolled upon the pieces of wood could be easily tied aud sealed. (See Isa. xxxix. 11 ; Dan. xii. 4.) The labor of making, copying and multiplying books by hand was very great. Many persons spent their whole lives in this toilsome work. As the copy­ ing of the sacred writings required great care, in order to avoid errors and to make the books readable, persons had to be trained to the task. Indeed the copying of the scriptures came to l>e a second art. In this way arose the profession, and, as may be said, the learned caste of the scribes. As they had the care of the rolls of volumes of the A Family of Chameleons. The chameleons have long been an object of peculiar interest to scientific investigators, because of their curious power of alteriug their" appearance to eohform to surrounding objects. Dr. Boelieler, of Miduapore, India, has given in the Popular Science Monthly the result of numerous observations of a family of chameleons which he has been keeping. The ehameleon does not change its color always to match its surround­ ing^, but its power to hide itself by a chahge of form is no less wonderful. In a normal state of rpst, th« color is of light a grcen, at times blending with yellow, causes trauverse s t r i . . . ^ back aud nearly encircling the body. These stripes occupy about the same amount of space as the groundwork, and are most susceptible to change of color. At first tliev become deeply green, and, if the excitement continues, gradually change to black. When placed upon a tree, the groundwork becomes a deep green, and the stripes a deeper green or black, and so long as they remain on the ti'ees the color does not change. Placed on the scarlet leaves of the draecena and among the red flowers of the acacia, no change was observed. Bui its changes of shape are still more remarkable. Sometimes it assumes the form of a dis­ consolate mouse sitting hi a comer; again, with back curved and tail erect, it resembles a crouching lion, which no doubt gave origin to its name, vhamai- teoH, or ground lion. By inflating its side it j flattens its belly, and viewed from below, I takes the form of an ovate leaf. The j tail is the petiole, while a white serrated 1 hue, which runs from nose to tip of nail ) over the belly, becomes the leaf's mid- i rib. Still again, throwing out the uir, it | draws in its sides, and at the same time expands itself upward and downward till it becomes as thin as a knife, and then viewed from the side it has the form of an ovate leaf which lacks a mid-rib, but the serrated iine of the belly and the ser­ rated back simulate the serrated, edges of a leaf. When thus expanded it has also the power to sway itself, so as to present an edge to an observer, thus Saturn's Rings. We had a view of Saturn a few evenings since through the fine telescope ia Mr, Seagrave's private observatory, that wilt long be rememl>ered for its exceeding l>eanty.

The place where Kris was intended to spend the time of her banishment from the yard was a large chamber over the woodshed, which was kept warm by the kitchen chimney, and there's where her bed or roost was pre­ pared for her, and where she was shut up every night; but she was so lonely and unhappy, and tried so hard to get out, and Margery was so fond of her for ft playmate, that she generally got down before breakfast and did not go back until bedtime, which is at dusk in tlie turkey family, you know.

From our Lord's reproofs to the scribes of his day, We learn that they did not always use their influence for good. The chief scribes among the Jews were teachers. In the outer court of the temple were many chambers, in which they sat on elevated platforms and over­ looked their pupils, who sat on lower platforms, and thus at their feet. When we remember the wars, the captives and the persecutions of the Jews, we may well ceusider tlie safe­ keeping and lianding-down of the sacred records to modern times as among the wonders of Divine Providence.--Golde n Days. Learn to Sleep. The true art of sleeping is the power to shut one's self within one's self under anj circumstances. The man who can thus take rest is refreshed and strength­ ened under mauy circumstances which woidd keep other people weary and wakeful. He is master of every situation as regards his own rest. Some men, by long habit, find themselves able to take sleep with the same ease that others of doors with the rest. So the first really 1 would take a glass of water. They can , nah.

"Oh no, papal" cried Margery, who stood on the steps. "Don't kill the poor thing I I'll take care of it some- ! how." j ",But itll freeze, dear," said papa, ; going back into the kitchen. •i " No, I'll fix it up ; I'll make it some­ thing to wear.
