A ROBIN'S NEST IN A Cloaca.—A great novelly
is to be seen lathe church at Chiley. About three Werke or
a month since a robin commenced tuilding her neat in a
pew in the chancel, on a email ledge ro ale in front of the
inside of the pew to bold the books, cot more than five or sex
inches wide. There being no rim or ledge to this piece
of wood, the poor bird had at the event groat dif-
ficulty in makirg the first part of the nest keep to
its right place; but after two or three atterapie
she (or rather herself and mete) succeeded and made
a perfect nest, and In a very short Cots the hen
bed laid four egg., upon which she sat. But Sunday
coming befits* she bad batched, she was obliged to leave
her neat during Divine Rieke, as the inseaete of the
pew (James Ingram, Esq., sod family), were looking
closely down urn her, and their harm retched to within
a foot or 18 inches of the neat. She was on her eggs
immediately after each service, sad the remelt le that she
has hetched Oros young ores. It was both culotte mud
sitectieg during the service last Sunday to lfa hew die-
flossed she was that she could ant get to them with the food
in her month. &erica over, and she was down to them in
ad intent. Their poor little hungry months were opened
time after time during the service at her call.—Wen Snare
