and clear as the sound of a bell; it !
may be heard at the distance ofa
league No song, no sound can oe,
caslon the astonishment produced by |
theAtinlling OF the cdmpanerol d He !
sings morning and evening like most
other birds, at mid day, he sings also.
A stroke of the bell is heard, apause
Ola minute ensueS; second tintSlinS,
and a pause of the same duration is
repeated, fnallya third ringing, fol- |
lowed by a silence of six or eight
minutes. II 'At@os' saysyfan enthusi-
astlc traveller, would halt in theheat
ofthe chase, Orpheas would let fall
his lutte to listeni so novel, sweet, and
romantic is the silver tinkling of the
snow7whlte campero.' This bird is
abontthe size, of a Jay; from its head
arises aIconical tube of about three
inches eng, OF a brilliant black, spot

loWAR.--4A soldier in active service
has published a little unpretending
volume. inwhich he describes the
effects ofshot in the field of battIe.
You can form no idea ofthe storm
of balls and shells which crossed each
other in their deadly course. Before
and around the spot on which Field
Marshal Radetzky was standing, the
heayyisixteen-pound shots ploughed
up the ground, tracing in one place
deep furrow, and cutting down a tree
like stubble in another. 1t is remar-
kable hoWBeach kind of missile has !
its own characteristic. There is the
tremulous. howl of the large round
shot, the whistle of the mnsket-balL \
hiss of fthe shell, like that ofthe Cath.

detonatmg as it bursts. gOf these
Iast, many which fell amongst us
missed fire, and many exploded harm

did its office the effect 5lwas dreadful.
