STARE THE BIRDs.-The time for the sing
ing of birds is come, and the countless voices Of
the feaihered Ministries are heard in the land
May we not hope 10 prevail with our young read
ers to give friendly and kind reception 10 the
gentle and beautiful birds, rs they revisit us in
the spring and early SUMMER Il would really
teem as Il, unless people are very thouehtiess OF
very wicked, not much need be said to prevent
cruelty to such innocent and pretty creatures a.
birds; and how richly would they repay ouI
kindness by their familiarity and sweet music
Nor is that all. They are real advantage tc
the farmer and gardener, inasmuch as they gen.
orally feed on insects, which, il it were not fol
them, would be very destructive to fruits and
vegetables. One reason why so many peach
plum, and other trees aro too diseased to beaI
sound fruit, is because the birds are frightened
away leaving the trees prey to worms. Spare
the brds then, for PHYS sake and for your own
sake.--Nev York Organ.

RAH-CAR PEDDLERs Offering birthstone
colorcd pamphlets, large and small, upon oil the
great railroad ,horoughfnres, has become reg
ular branch Of traffic. You are hardly seated
and under full Roadway, before boy, some ~
or IA years old, makes his appearance, with his
luggage piled up TO his chin, and passing through
the cars, from one end to the other Of the train,
offers choice from his armfnll to every passen-
ger. Some Of these pamphlets are respectable
literary periodicals.; but tho great mass of them,
are either seductive or pcrnieious novels and ro-
mances, or fashy and taking pretondeIs 10 polite
literature which are very little better. Thou.
sands and thousands of them arc sold every day
to travellers, who would never think Of inqur-
ing for them in the shops, but will purchase them
when offered because, after looking over the
morning papers, they have nothing else to read
on the way. The fac, that this rail-car pe,ldling
is kept up and is increasing, shows that il is pro-
fiablc, either TO the BOYS, or to those who fur
nish them with the books; (most likely the lat
ter y and however demoralzing il may be, II
cannot be prevented. Men are as free TO do
evil in this country as TO do good and much
"wiser in their generation"
But il the poison cannot be prevented from
passing into circulation, what should hinder the
administering Of proper antidoies? Why should
not the boys in question, whom we meet every
where in the cars and on steamboats,, be furnish
cd with books from Tract and Sabbath School
repositories, TO sell to passengers in the same
manner as they do those worthless and perni-
.cous issues Of the press, which are constantly
thrust in their faces 7 As the great enemy OF
God and man is sure to SOW tares, wherever he
can find foot Of soil to receive them, why should
not the friends of God and man SOW the good
