'Well keep it forever," fatil G-yrar-oM Kva. "Can't we, papa!" But papa shook his head. "I've no doubt it has be. n a pet in some family for years," he said, "for it is an old bird, and we must ad vertise, and then if no one comes to claim it, we'll see about keeping it forever." "How can we advertise!" said Agnes, the eldest dabghter. who, though only 14, was as tall as her mother, "Advertising costs money and we have none to spare.' "There's Klbert'a seventy cents, and baby's gold dollar," repeated her mother. "Itaby'a gold dollar!" claimed Agnes, "why you said you never would spend that, because it was tho last thing grand mammg gave him." "Itut I am sure, Agnes, grandmamma would w ish me to do so now. Tho advertisement must go in Your father has written it, and it will nuver do to lit him know bow poor we arc. Every hour of peace and quiet is a great gain to him. Wo will hope," with a faint smil", "that Santa Clans will not forget us." And the next morning that notice appeared in tio villago paper and in the principal pa per of tha nearest city, which was but half an hour away by rail. FOUND December 20th. an old parrot. gray with crimson tail; talks very plainly; speaks ol ltsell as -Clover inn; t.iys oiten, "Dear, dear, dcircstOuy,' and when called Pntt) Poll, replies, 'Nonsense, Pretty Hell.' Owinr pleisn oill ft James Kajo's, Mamie avenue, Keruvi lo." And as the clock struck 10 the noxt morn ing an elderly geiitlcnun, with a will worn Hatchi 1 in his baud, called to 8' o the parrot.

" I he c-y Hiino," slid t!iu g iitleinan, who una stout rud-'aued, good naturtd looking old frllo, with d.nk blown hair and w ndir fully tlnrp blick cms And then he went on addressing Mri.

"It was initio unci illnw tne ti introduce mjself, (luy Kiinbjw but for many years it has bent another'. And th it oilier I would givo the world to imet.

No, sir, theie is not," said Mrs. Kaye, her pink cheeks growing pinker "There isn't a icitauraut or anything likeone iu this place." "Mess my heart," said tho gentleman, "what an odd place; but if no ono conus be fore I'm very hungry, I suppose you would be willing to lot your servant-maid prepare me a moutlilul or two a eup oi couce ami a broiled steak aud a few poached epgs, or any thing that comes lundy ! Stout as I am I can get along with a very little to cat when I am obliged to, he added with a hcaity laugh, "Hut, ma'am," glancing in rurprise at her distressed face, "if you dou't want me iu tha house though I am sure I wouldn't incommode you in the least I'll sit on the door steps, for I must see tho person, if auy person come, who claims that parrot." "Pretty Hell, pretty Bell, pretty Hell," ciied tho parrot. "The very same," said Mr. (luy Itainbow. "Heaveu send her tins way. Shall I may I, I should say tako up post lion on tho stoop, madam J" "Oh elear, no sir; you mustu't do that," stammered the iiuall woman in great confusion when Klbert stepped forward aud looking the visitor straight iu the face in a frank, boyish way, raid) "We're aw ful poor just now and thit's what's the matter. Kather is up stairs he fell on the ice aud hurt himself and he's been there ever so long. And it took our last money the baby's gold dollar, too to pay for that advertisement, and father mustn't know it, 'cause il he does he'll worry and frit and perhaps never get Well, And we haveut any servant girl, and there's only coal enough for his room for two or three days, and noth ing but a mine pie, Mr. Mirsh she's the only good neighbor we've got brought us, in the closet." "Aud what do you expect to do when the coal and tniuo pie are all gone?" asked Mr, Guy Rainbow," in a kind voice. "We have a little money owing to us," aniwered Mrs. Kaye, trying to smile, though the tears were in her eye, "aud out debtor, who has forgotten us for along while, may think of us again when Chtistmas, the bleurd birthday, cornea," The elderly gentleman went to the front door and looked out. "It I aa stepped snow tug," bo said, turning to Klbert, "get a hovel, my Imy, and clean the snow away from the cellar door." And down the stoop and up the street he trotted with a speoel tint was indeed surprising when one ormidered how very stout he was, to come back iu less than au hour ahead of a coal cart titled with coal, aud a grocery boy til'ej I mean to say, WILLAMETTE PARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, DECEMBER with a basket filled with groceries. Into the cellar went the coal, and into the kitchen went the basket. "There, ma'am, said Mr. Guy Kainlnw, "and if you tell your husband anything about it he won't get well for a year. And now, if Klbert can't make a fire I'll m-kc i ne myailf." Hut Elbert could and did, and soon the parlor stove glowrd 1 ke a very prince of dtove".. And Mrs. Ka)e, un picking the basket, found provisions enough for a week, mil went to work at once making! a pot of coffee and broiling a steak for her unexpected guest. And when ho had eaten his steak and drank his coffee. "Better I never tasted ma'am," he said she took him to her husband's room and there he told hi story. "Of courso, you ki ow what it is to be in love," he began with his jolly laugh, "and to do I, I was a very romantic young man, and although I don't look it, I'm a very romont'o old man. And then I wa twenty.four and she eighteen (that's one-and-tweuty years ago) I fell madly in lovewith Miss Isabella bummer cloud. She returned my aflection, but her parent? didn't. I was poor then, and they wonted a rich man for a son-in-law. Hut, in snite of all thoy could, Isabella remained true to me. They succeeded, however, in obtaining a solemn promise from her that she would not marry for seven years, or until she was twenty-five, without their permission. Well, six of those years passed failing to make any change in our love for each other, when I was suddenly f ummoncd to Germany to tho sicl brel of a pitern il uncle, my only living rela tive, with the exception of Irs twin brother, who was also my godfather. I knew very lit tlo about thebc relatives, having been born in this country, and losintr my father at a very early age, but I had an idea they wero gar- lentrs and not at all well to do. And I was much astonished when I received the Utter, enclosing a check for my traveling expenses and begging me to hasten, and still more as tonished to learn that the dyinij man intended to 1, ave his only child to niy care, being as sured by my friends and employers, w horn ho had privately consulted, that he could not silect a better guardian. He called Istbella "hrewell." "And so you are going to adopt a child," sneiredlicr mother "How very interesting " But my datling, Heaven bless her, bado me Godspeed. A short time before our pirtlng I had gnon liir this pirrot, which I had taught to say we'll celled "pretty Poll," "iiontc.se, pretty It'll, pn-tt It 11." And knowing tho wou'd never hear my mine sive in an opprobiious way fintn an) ot her family I also taught it to siy, "Pear, dear, dearest Guy," Itut judge rf my mi I' isu when my first let ter .ifter our parting, which had evidently 'ceil opened and re-eiletl and ill which I st.it d I had arrived a' my uncle's and found him, apparently, iu tno humblest circum tmeis, was returned to me, accompanied by thn c or four newtpiper", in each of which I found a iinrked puugrjph announcing tho taking of tho veil by Miss Isabella Summer cloud at tho Convent of the Blessed Mary. I knew Isabella hid been educated at this place, but had never heard her express the slightest ilesiio to become i Co holie, much less a nun. Bat theie was my letter and there were aj- nouncomiii s I lie tl.iy alter i recti veil inem my uncle died, and when his will was read ho had been a miser of misers I found myself in possession of a fortune. And the week af ter the funeral, taking my )oung couna with me, I started on a tour through tho old world. I went everywhere'. To the Sandwich Islands, Australia, Asia, Africi, aud not until the last part of last auiiinier did 1 return to my native land, Returned to discover that Isabella still lived that she was not and never lud bqeu a nun aud like myself bail never marr.ed. That like me, too, she hid inherited a fortune That she had been traveling for years. That he was again in America. That she waa stay ing with some friends in Detioit of whose name and address my informant most unfor tunately had no idea. I was on my way thither, to search the direstory, the hotel ri g ister, to do everything in my power to find her when, as I feel impressed, most fortunate ly your advertisemant caught my eye. There is the parrot I gave her years ago. She vowed never to part with it. It has been stolen from her ami escaped from the thtet. She will come or semi to claim it, ami I, thanks to )ou A nun," repeated the lady, "Good gra cious, no. Ho tohl you so ; "I read it in the paper kindly sent mob) some person who returned the letter I wrote you on my arrival at my uncle's "And Oil thought that Isabella wai your Isalella! It was my aunt and god-mother. And you did you did not marry your ward!' "My ward. He evens, no. It was a boy. "But I taw the marriage of l.i ml a Rainbow to Guy Rainbow in the German papers, which it almost broke my heart to think you had matleel it to me." "Aud could you for a moment believe that and your wife's peuerous hospitality, will find again the only woman I have ever loved. Aud I tell you, sir, I wait with betting heart. And all the Kaye following the example, waited with beating hearts (excepting the lia by, who, thiukiug tho time had come to "moo like the cow,'' did ao with all his might and main,) and every vehicle that passed they rushed to the window, and every knock that came they rushrel to the door. But the day wore away, and nobody called for "Clrrer Po'l." Mr Guy Rainbow began to lock grave, and te Kye family began to look grave alto, when as the last sunt cam popped luti the little parlor, a carriage drove up to the door, aud a plump, fair-hatred wo man, looking aUHil thirty, though she mutt have lieea nine and thirty, jumped out, aud was pi) ing the door knock in leas time than it takes to tell it. "You found a pa' rot!" she l-ean.aa Albert opemil the door. "He did," shoute 1 the elderly gentleman, "aud if )ou have beeu ai true to me as I have b en to you, I have found soiutthiug inde finitely more precious." "Guy!" screamed the lady, and fell into his arms. And "dear, dear, dearest Guy, pretty Bell, pretty Hell, pio ty B-ll," cri.d the turru, flying to her and 'aligning wildly. I "Then you're not and never was a nun !" j said lie-. "Dearest Guy." that Guy was jour Gu) ! That was my uncle and trod-father and he married a kind of fourt'i c msin of tho same name." "On, how vvc have both betn deceived!" said Miss Sumiin rcloud. "But wo may be happy, yet," said Mr. Raint ow. And she looked as if she thought they might. After sinking hands a'.k around with the Kaye family, and kissing the Laby, away they went in the carnage, "Clever Poll," perched on the shoulder of its m'stress, flap ping its wings, uttering shrill hurrahs, and acting altogether like a bird gone wild with joy. And on Christmas day away went the Kaye's in the same carriage -Klbert and his sisters in pretty costumes, for were they not to best man and bridesmaids, and their mother in a lovely gray silk with bonnet to match to the wedding, after an engagement of twenty -one years, of Miss Isabella Summer cloud, and Mr. Guy Rainbow. And from that time Mr. Kaye grew stronger and stronger, and soon was able, though still a little lame, to return to work, but instead of returning to the wholesale establishment nt a retail salary, lie went into a large letail es tablishment, tho head of which waa a friend of Mr. Guy Rainbow's at a w holesale one. And all things piosprred forever after at the little wooden cottage, thanks "To the Luck Poll Brought Us." CALIFORNIA ANTI-mONOPOLY. In California one set of men control the great railroads, dictate to the politicians who to nominate, and often control the elections. Tho first railroad commission was easily bought up by the railroad interest. The one member of it who wnj considered for the peo ple wis General Stoneman; he was nominated for Governor on the Democratic ticket, and the railroad has elected him. The thiee com missioners now e lected are pronounced against tho railroad, and it remains to be seen if they are above price. This corpoiation that rules Calitornii, that terrorizes business and sways p litics, all crew from nothing. What these men have they owe to the generosity of tho people who actually gave them the wealth, which th' y now use bo uusciupiilously. How much they are entitled to make off their roads is a nice iUestion. They have become woith tens of iiiiilinussupi ce already. If their roads nro allowed to earn interest on the bondel ilt lit, that of itself will be twice their actual cost. To allow them to earn mot c than that will bo to permit lobbery of the public for the benefit of the few. It is to be hopid that the present Coiuin! sicners will have cour.ije and honesty to exact ju-ti.e and fair treatment to wards the public whose rights they represent. In a Den of Rattlesnakes. W. D. Hampton, of California, informs the Kretno Expositor of a thrilling adventure that recently took place at the White Rock quartz mine, on the north side of the San Jraqtnn river, in Fine Gold mining district, which, for nerve and daring, is equal to auything we ever heard. There is an old shaft on themine w hich has not been used for years, and re cently it became necessary to clean it out and use it iu working the mine. The shaft is about thirty feet deep, perpendicularly, with an incline of thirty feet more. A number of rattlesnakes had taken possession of the in closure, probably in the start by falling down the shaft, and by breeding had increased till the whole bottom seemed like awrithing mass of reptiles. At first an effort was made to clean them out by discharging eiant powder cartridges at the bottom of the shaft and kill ing1 tho horrible venomous reptiles, whose hissing and rattling could bo plainly heard at the top of the shaft. Procuring a quantity of antidotes for snake poison, and making all needed preparations for raising and lowering the adventurous man, who was about, as it were, to place his life in his own hands, Charles Campbell was lowered into the shaft by his trembling fellow laborers. He was armed with a lantern and a small stick. The stinch occasioned by tho poisonous breaths of the rattlesnakes was almost overpower ng, but, nothing daunted, he proceeded on his errand. Reaching the bottom of the shaft he gradually gnped his way down the slippery and steep incline, stopping ever and anon to kill a venomous rattler that impeded his way. Reaching the bottom he plied his stick with vigor, while tho mats of snakes squirmeel and rattled, their eyes sparkling like diamonds, ami tluir forked tongues lapping the air as they moved their heads in the intensity of their fury, or struck with their poisoned fangs at the brave man who dared to encroach on their quarters and give them battle. Rap idly thoy fell over in the agonies of death un der the unerring blows from the live oak stick till not a tingle one was left alive. Thirteen large snakes with from seven to nine rattles were killed, and two with fourteen and fifteen rattles respectively. In addition a number of youmrer ones were destroyed. Finishing hi daring labors lie returned to the bottom of the shaft and was hauled out, but the sickening and prisonous air of the snake den so over came him that he feinted away on reaching the top. Reatorative were administered and he was taken to hi home, where he lay sick two or three days, but he i now fully recov ered and ready to assail another den of vipers. Marvellous a this atoiy is Mr, Hampton vouche for it truth, and says that the rattles of the snake can be seen by auj- one who doubts it at his store. Mr. Hampton's well known character for truth and veracity, bow ever, is a sutli.'ieut guarantee of it cor rectness. Till destruction of Pennsylvania' fcretts is pnce ding at an enormous rate. Men who were born aud raiaed a lumbermen say that they have never known the like of it. 22, 1882 Brmeniber This.
