ROBIN SroRy.-We heard a story Of the per-
formance of robin in the garden of one ofour
citizens, on Friday last, which interested US not
a little, inasmuch as the little creature and his
mate exhibited sagacity, amounting to human
reason. The incident occurred in the garden Of
Mr.. John Bromham which is large one, reach
ing from his house in Olive street over TO War
rem street. While he was attending to some part
of it, near his honse, robin flew about him APP
parently in great excitement He took but little
notice Of it at first but the bird persevered in
every effort to attract his attention, and was
successful. Mr.. B. remembered that there was
a robins nest in tree at the end of the garden
and thought there might be some tro' BILE there,
and started in that direction The b I'd com
panied him, keeping close by his side. chattering
violently all the way. On approach ing the nest
he found the female bird equally agit ted, and
on taking deliberate observation, discovered a
very young robin sitting on the high fence, and
. cat below intensy watching it, and ready to
pounce upon it on the fnilure of its attempt to
reach the tree. Mr.. B. drove away the cat, when
the two birds instantly came to the assistance of
their young one encouraged it to try its new
hedged wings for the tree, which it did, and safe-
ly reached its nest to the great apparent delight
Of the whole feathered family. The bird he'd
seen enough of Mr.. B. to know that he would
not injure it or it's progeny-it knew that he
coudAA protect them, and knew how to attract
his attention and lead him to the scene of dan.
ger-and it knew that it would not be safe for
It to encourageits young one to make any effort
to reach the tree while the dreaded enemy was
below ready to spring upon it in case of it's fail
ure. Is not all this very near akin to human
reason !--Ne,o Haven Palladium
