NO. 85.MISCBLLANBOUH READING.

THE JACKDAW.Just before tbo death of Webster, as everybodywill recollect, and after bis recovery

was despaired of, one of his physioians approachedbio bedside, and asked bow be found

himself. "I feel like the Jackdaw in the

church steeple," was the strange reply. Thephy-ioian withdrew sadly from lbs bedsideto another part of the room, where »ome

members of the family were standing together,and shaking bis bead eonfessed hitappreheusion that the brain of the dyingstatesman, was affeoted; that the stately oakwas perishing at tbe top. He oould see no

method in the answer whiob bis question badreceived. Oue of tbe ladies present, whoknew Mr. Webster better, did not believethat bis mind was wandering, and quietlystepping to his bed-ide asked bim what bemeant by saying he telt like tbe Jackdaw inthe church steeple. "Why, Cowper; don'ty>u remember?" was tbe reply. She did rememberCowper's delightful translation ofone of Vincent lijurne's little poems, entiledthe Jackdaw, which we give below.

There is a bird who, by his coatAnd by the hoarseness ot his note,

Might be supposed a crow ;A great frequenter of the church,Wnere bishop-like he finds a perch,

And dormitory too.

Above tbe steeple finds a plate.That turns and turns, to indicate

From what point blows the weather.Look up. Your brains begin to swim,'Tis in the clouds.that pleases him,

He chooses it the rather.

Fond of the speculative height.Thither he wings his airy flight,

And thence securely sees

The bustle and the raree show,That occupy mankind Delow.

Secure and at his ease.

You think, no doubt, be sits and muses

Of luture broken bones and bruises1: be should chance to fall*

No not a single thought like that.Kmploys his philosophic pate,

Or troubles it at all.He sees that this great round about,The world, with all its motley rout,

Church, army, physic, law,Its customs and its business,la no concern at all of his,

And sd)s.what says he?.caw!

Thrice happy bird! I too have seenMuch of the vanities of men;

And sick ot having seen em,Would cheertully these limos resign,For such a pair of wiugs as thine,

A 0A uuitU u knf u'Oitn unr*'

The eubjjurueil singularly beautful poem,attributed to the pen of the Quaker poet,Whittier, w8 find in the Atlantic Monthly:

TELLING TIIK BEES*Here is the place; right over the hill

Runs the path 1 took;You can see the gap in the old wall still,And the stepping-stones in the shallow brook.

There is the house, with the gate red barred,And the poplars tall;

And the barn's brown length, and the cattle-yard,And the white horns tossing above the wall.

There are the bee-hives ranged in the sun;And down by the brink

Of the brook are her poor (lowers, weed-o'errun,Pansy aiul daffodil, rose and pink.

A vetr has gone, as the tortoise goes,Heavy and slow;

And the same rose blows, and the same sun

glows,And the sam<- brook sings of a year ago.

There's the same sweet clover-smell in ths breeteAnd the June sun warm

Tangles his wings of tire in the trees,.Sitting, as then, over Femside farm.

1 mind me how with a lover's careFrom my Sunday coat

[ brushed otr the burrs, and smoothed my Imr,And cooled at the brook side my brow aud

throat.

Since we parted, a month had passed.To love, a year;

Down through the beeches, I looked at lastOn the little red gate and the well-sweep near.

I can see it all now.the slantwire rainCM light through the leaves,

The sundown's blaze on her window pane,The bloom ol her roses under the eaves.

Just the same as a month before,The house and trees,

The barn's brown gable, the vine by the door,.Nothing changed but the hives of bees.

Before them under the garden wall,Forward and back,

Went, drearily singing, the chore girl small,Draping each hive with a shred of black.

Trembling. I listened; the summer sunHad the chill of snow;

For I Knew she was telling the bees of oneGone on the journey we all must go!

Then I said to myself, '-My Mary weepsFor the dead to-day;

Haply her blind old grandsire sleepsThe Iret and the pain ol his age away."

But her dog whined low; on the doorway sill,With his cane to his chin,

The old man sat: and the chore girl stillhung to the bees stealing out and in

And the song she was singing ever sinceIu my ear sounds on.

Stay at home, pretty bses. fly not hCnce!.Mistress Maty is dead and gone!'*A remarkable custom, brought from the Old

Country, formerly prevailed in the rural districtsol New Kngland. On the death of a member olthe lamily. the bees were at once informed of ther. < rill, OIIU U17II UHCB U1 COBCU 111

This ceremonial was supposed to be necessary to

prevent the swarms from leaving their hiveaand seeking ft new home.
