AFFECTION OF THE SwALLow.-As per-
son was shooting swallows few days ago,
at Ospaldwick, he fred at and wounded one,
which fell as if its wing was broken to within
a few feet of the ground, when another swat
low flew directly underneath and bore it gent
ly up. After having attained considerable
elevation. the bird underneath withdrew its
support; but finding the bird was sinking a
gain to the earth, it resumed its station, and
once more raised it in the air. This was done
several times till at last the bird which was
wounded flew away, as ifit had not been hurt
Its companion following it. This IS as re-
markable an instance of attachment and sym.
patty in the feathered tribe as we have ever
heard of.

and should scarcely hope to be believed, but
then | find the ancients and Agartharcides in
particular, have mentioned the same phenome-
non, Oh these coasts, where they observe, !" the

also noticed a similar appearance at Mocha.
where he saw it set in like manner. We sub
sequently saw it assume an elongated, but new
er again so completely columnar figure. We
could not but think of the pillar of fire which
for forty years gave light to the Israeli.es in
the wilderness. The color of the Red Sea
here was the most exquisite blue of the Med.
iterranean. The breakers had peculiar vivid
