The Reminiscences of the Third Baptist Church," with the more recent notice of its new departure, has _led to many urgent requests for an account of Father Dods' parrot, that used to speak in the meetings. Aug. 22, 1879, Poll Was found on a wharf near where the Post Office now stands. M ° M. Dods, going from his home on Westminster street, near Turk's Head., to get a breath of fresh m air frothe water, heard. the pitiful cry of " Polly's hungry! Polly's hungry !" Pursuing the sound he soon (succeeded, on removing some lumber, in releasing a beautiful dove -colored male parrot, with a brilliant tail of bright scarlet plumage. The day had already been an eventful one to Mr. Dods, who had experienced a great joy in the new relation of father. Polly's introduction to the family was there- fore kept with that of the birth of the infant daughter, and. his subsequent life of 31 years was intimately con- nected with the increase and change in- cident to the family. years ebecame so accustomed t ..the enqui red , "I th s at Si st R er oss ?" evening services and fraternal greetings being answered in the negative, he as to really give evidence of being a showed. his disappointment by refusing good Christian parrot, speaking- in the to speak or leave his swing While the conference and prayer meetings when- visitor remained.

Poor Poll was overcome by a sudden temptation, and. it occurred in a mo- ment of great hilarity. The older mem- bers of tbe hOusehold having gone abroad. to spend the day, the two young- est daughters were housekeepers.. The day was lovely, and the girls, contrary to orders, ventured to take Poll , from his accustomed place in the sunny cor- ner of the sitting-roora (or keeping - room, as it was then called), placing him in his out -door nook in the sweet': briar brush under the windows. It be- ing Poll's first spring airing, he was wild with delight, jumping about in great glee, until the nail, probablywea,k- ened by the winter storms, gave way, and the cage fell to the ground with great force. The children, loving the bird very dearly, and conscious of their disobedience, quickly ran to the res- cue, calling to Poll to tell them if he was killed. On raising the cage the frightened bird shook himself vehem- ently, and jumping upon the perch ex- claimed. in his gruffest. tones, Poll thought he was going to the devil." Years had gene by since Poll had used a word of the kind, and the children, whose tears were turned to merry laughter, always affirm- ed that they had evidence of his peni- tence in the fact that he waS never known to repeat the offence. Polly's religion did not save him from his inveterate habit of tale -bearing. As the daughters grew up to womanhood there could be no oourting done in the coiner, for Poll would. _tell. When the second daughter was about to be mar- ried. considerable anxiety was expressed in reference to keeping the approaching marriage from a gossipping neighbor until the banns were published the following Sabbath. Poll heard all the talk between the young couple during that twilight hour. Before the Sabbath came this neighbor called to see the family. As soon as she entered the sitting -room Poll began to make a great commotion in his. cage, swinging and dancing at a fearful rate, until he attracted her notice, when in a singing tone he repeated oyer and over again, "George and. Rose going to be married, to be married, to be married." But Poll, as he advanced in years, grew more thoughtful. Afteit the re- moval of the family to the home on. Transit street he was more than „laver before- associated with its religious life. All Father Dods' daughters were sing- ers -what a blessing to the household! The eldest daughter frequently led the singing- at these social meetings. A Methodist sister sometimes shared this honor with her. An English minister, who vas often a guest at the house, 1 Poll was supposed to be a fugitive (to use the words of the record) " from a Guinea vessel which bad set set sail that - day from bold water ;" his language con- firmed that aupposition, calling "all hands," making free use of sea phrases, and singing snatches of sailor songs. The profanity of the bird so astonished - andalarmed the young mother that ' great pains were taken to correct his bad habits, before the little daughter could. understand such rough expres- sions. Poll was teachable, and soon adap d his conversation to his new surramia ings. As one after another was added. to the family circle, he gave a welconie to each, and watched over all with great vigilance. The names of father and mother were spoken as plainly by Poll as by the children. lithe eldest daugh- ter(his contemporary) had charge of the eradle, and left it for a moment, Poll was sure to say, when. the mother returned., "Mother, Sally didn't rock the cradle." He was often complained of for being a great tell tale. The children of the neighborhood also re- . ceived a share of his atten.tion. His: memory was perfect and sometimes quite distressing. A little truant boy living near -by gave his mother so much trouble that she was frequently it the door calling loud- ly for him by name. At last the little it fellow sickened and. died. The mother, overcome by her grief, was -very ill for a long .time. Ou her recovery it twas impossible for her to go near the ttoor when Poll was swinging in his o4tdoor - tage without her feelings being har- rowed. by his calling, almost in her own tone of voice, "Geordie ! Geordie !" At this time Poll was not receiving the training and nurture of a professed- ly Christian home: Strict attention had, however, been given. to the moral education, so sadly neglected in his youth. As time went, on he became a general favorite; less self willed and high-spirited, returning love for love, needing only gentle reproof for wrong - 1121.805 there was a powerful religious awakening in Providence. Mr. Dods, his wife and eldest daughter were at that time breught under the influence of divine truth, and. received into the fellowship of the First Baptist Church. Conversion in those days meant a great deal and was followed. by marked re - ,sults. The- atinosphere of the home be- came so wholly religious that even the took the rst opportunity, at th e dos of one of the meetings, to say to this daughter, "Sally, Sally, don't let that Methodist body beat you." Poll was an unobserved listener. At- the next weekly meeting, as soon as the hymn was read, ancl the good sister was about to conimence to sing in her spirited. way, Poll electrified the large worship- ping company by repeating in his loud- est, clearest tones the admonition he had recently heard, " S,ally, Sally, don't let that Methodist body beat You ?" We orait the scene at the close of the meet- ing. Poor Poll was in disgrace. Poll was opposed to long meetings, andincire . than once called on . different brethren to close the meeting. On a particular " occasion, he seemed to soon tire of . tbe regular exercises, and called out,"Broth- erBUshee, close the meeting by prayer," The brother thus abruptly called. upon was sitting with closed eyes waiting for an opportunity to exhort. Sadly em- barrassed, and wondering at the sud-' den termination of the meeting, he arose and offered. an appropriate cloaing-pray- en . . Poll was rerhoved from the room by a member of the family much , to the chagrin of the young people, who be- lieved he should, be allowed fullliberty to exercise his gifts. • Pollmust have had some idea of that principle. .For at another time he gave life and spirit to a dull -meeting by saying in quick, en- ergetic tones, "Brethren, there is liber- ty !" . His power of speech was clear Dead strong, aka as he advanced in years sententious. It was not a strange thing for age, as well as youth, toreceive words of caution or reproof. One bright summer afternoon Mrs. Dods was en- gaged in making copper -Plate curtains for the windows; several of the good sisters of the First Church' were assist- ing in the work. There_was a pleasant converse, with long and earnest discus- sion, as to the best method of draping tbe Curtains. Therewas a good deal of measuring and puzzling in trying to de- cide whether they should allow for a. frill at the -top or no trill, to be made open at th -centre and looped on _either side of th window. or only one side; -how muc1 fringe, which was Mrs.Dods' own netti a, - should be used, etc. Poll 0 was grave and quietawatching• all the doings with great interest; but this naanifesta ion of extreme worldliness was tooni ch fork= to bear. Improv- ing a pau e in the conversation he spoke .1.1 out in hi -sharpest manner, "Mother Dods, en ams, ctirtains ; all curtains and no religion to -day!" .

Ex.plaining a Miracle. When the BisiTop of Tuarn visited a small parish in his diocese, he selected for his sermon the subject of miracles, and on the following morning, while breakfasting before his departure, he received a vigil from the parish priest, who explained his intrusion by a desire to understand more thoroughly the meaning of the Bishop in expounding the nature of miracles. The Bishop, as they talked., drew him to the win- dow, and, suddenly pointing to the sky, called his attention to a flight of birds. As the priest lookeed upward, the Bishop suddenly delivered him a tremendous kick. Did. you feel that ?" said the prelate to the priest, who was assiduously rub- bing the wounded part; "because if you didn't it would. have been a mir- acle." - The priest --pocketed the-- mild re- buke, and asked for no more informa- tion. • -There is some talk in Montreal of a monster demonstration being madeby the Irish Catholics of that city on the 11th of July, to which the Catholic so- cieties of Quebec, Ottawa and New Yerk -including the Hibernians-will be in- vited.
