Wouldn't Intorview—Birds and Spiders— Grape-Bearing Trees, Atlantéc Jont\ly for Jannary, ‘The enrly twilight of a Bunday cvening in Hamllton, Bermuda, Isan alluring time, There 1s just cnough of whispering breeze, fragrance of flowers, and scnse of rcpose to ralsc onc's thoughts heavenward; aud just envugh ama- teur plano musie to keep him reminded of tho other place. There are many vencrable planos in Hamllton, and they all play at twilight. Age cularges and enriches the powers of soma musical nstruments,—notably {hose of tha violiny—but it scema to sct a plano’s teeth on edge. Most of the musie In vogue there is tho samo Lhat those planos prattled in thelr fnno- cent infancy; and there s something very Imihelh: about it when they go over It now, fn helr asthmatig sccond childtood, dropping a note here and there, whero a tooth (s gone. We attended evening scryvice at the stately Fplacopal Church on the hill, where were 500 or 000 people, half of them white and the otber halt black, according toihe usual Hermudian propor- tiona: andall well dressed, —a thing which is aleo unnsl'in Bermuda and to be confidently expected., Theio wan good music, which we heard, and doubt- Jess a good sermon, but there was a wonderfal deal of coughing, and so only the high parts of tho ar- xumnn“urrm] over it. As wo came oul, nfter service, 1 overheard one young girl say to another: Why, you don't mean to say you pay duty on loves nd{lttl! 1 onl{ pay posiage: have them one up and rent in the Host: There ara thoso who believe that the most dimi- cult thing tocreate Is A woman who can compre. hend that it s wrong to smugelo: and that an im. possible thing tocreate 16 a woman who will not smugele, whether or nio, when she gets a chance. yut these may be crrors. . LITTLE BLACK PIOUS CHILDIEN. We went wandering off toward the country, ana were soon far down In the lonely black depths of a road that was roofed over with tho denso follage of a doublo rank of great cedars, ‘There was no sound of any kind therej it yas perfectly still. Aud it was so - dark that one could detect nothing hut sumbre outlines. We strodo farther and farther down this tunnel, citecring the way with chat, Preacntly thechat took this shapo: *Ifow Ingcnsibly the character of a people and of a Gorernment makes its Impress upon a stranger, and gives him o sense of security or of Insceurity without his taking deliberate thought upon the matter or asking angboly o question! We have been In o this lamd balf o day; we have scen none but honest faces: we have noted the Brittsh fing- fiyinz, which means cflivient government ~ and good order; so without Inquiry we plunge un- armed and with perfect contidence Into tho dismal yiace, which In alinost any othier country would army with thugs and garrotors e St What was that?

BIRDA AND SFIDERS, The birds we came across In the country wero singularly tame; even that wild creature, the quall, would plck around In tha grass at ecase whlte wo Inspected ft and talked about it at leisure. A small bird of the canary specics hal to be stirred up with the but end of the whip befora it would move, and then it moved only a couple of feel. It Is sald that cven the sus- pleiaus flea is tame and soclable In Bermuda, and will allow himsolf to be caught and caressed withiout misgivings. This should be taken with allowance, for doubtless thero Is more or less brag about it. In ¥an Francisco they used to clatin that thelr native flea could kick a child over, as If it wero a merit in a flea to he ablo to do that; as il the knowledge of It trumpeted abroad ought to cntics immigration, Such a thing in nlno casea out of ten would ba almost sure to deter a thinking man from conuing. We ssw no bugs or roptlies to speak of, And so I was thinking of saying in pring, in o generai way, that there were none at all; but ono night after [ had gone ta bed, the Reverand came into my room cattylog_somothiing, and makod, *+ls thls your booi?

Wesaw some bam- boos forty feet high, with stems as thick as o man's arm. Jungles of the mangrove-treo stood up out of swamps, propped on thelr in- terlacing. roots as upon a tangle of stilts. In dryer places the noble tamarind sent down its wraceful cloud of shade. Here and there tho blossomy tamarisk adorned the roadside. ‘Thero was a curlous cnarled and twisted black tree, without o single Jeal on it..
