Where there ia a very atrolig attraction to

beset our pathway.
Let us also remember that this short life,
with its struggles and its trial, its pains and its
pleasures is not all. It is but the entrance, the

It seeani to me, that in order to simplify the
abject it woald ho bait Hrt, to arrin at eomi
definite understanding of what is really meant
by tho word culture.
Tu mme the word nay oonvey one idea; to
others another.
To person nf a poetical temperament, it
night mean time to read ami write poetry) to
indulge in iam d ul Sight ..f the imagination;
to gather Inspiration from the grand harmonies
of nature,
To the muiloally Inclined it might mean
time to dovuto to their beloved art -time to
practice the symphonies ul the groat masters
time to nuke the air vocal with their iliclo-

While Uia practical person night feel that
life was real, life was earnest and look forward
with longing eyes to tho time when he could

Hut what is the true meaning of culture?
Doea it not admit of various interpretations!

WflOOPING CRANK.
The whooping crane or sand-hill crane, ao
familiar on this co;iit, breeds from California
northward to tho Arctic regions, whence it re
moves southward early iu aurmiin, and soon ar
rive in the regions of tho Un t.d States, from
North Carolina to Texas, and thence westwaid
to the Rooky Mountains, and remnins through
out the winter. In tho Middle States east of
the Alleghauiea, it is very rarely seen, acd
thence eastward to Maine it is unknown, all its
migrations being performed far inland. White
migrating it travels both by day and night, and
iu total disregard of the character of the
weather, its power of (light enabling it to re
sist the force of heavy galea. Thirty or forty
