CorLDS'r Cos He SUNG So!-Leaning idly
over a fence a few days since, we noticed little
four year old i" lord Of the creation - amusing
himself in the grass by watching the frolicsorne
! flight Of birds which were playing around him.
| At length beautiful bobolink perched himself
upon dropping bough Of an apple tree, which
extended to within few yards Of the place
where the urchin sat, and maintained his posi-
! ton, apparently unconscious Of the close prox-
unity Of one whom birds usually c,nsider dan
! gerous neghbor.
The boy seemed astonishel at his impotence.
and after regarding him steadily for a minute
or two, obeying the instinct Of his baser part,
he picked up stone lying Mt his feet, and was
preparing to throw it, steadying himself care

backward without alarming the bird, and Bob
was within an ace Of damage, when 10! his
throat sweled and forth came natures plea ::

Slowly the little arm subsided to its natural po-
sition, and the despised stone dropped, The
minstrel charmed the murderer. We heard the
songster through, and watching his unharmed
flight, as did the boy, with a sorrowful counte-
nance. Anxious to hear an expression of the
little fellows feeling, we approached hiIl, and
inquired:
Why di Int you stone him, my boy: you
might have killed him and carried him home"
The poor little fellow looked up doubtingly,
us though he suspected our meaning, and with
an expression Of half shame and half sorrow, he
replied:

GENERAL CAss During our recent visit to
Detroit, in company with number of friends,
we called ON the venerable statesman and pa
triot, Lewis Cass We found him at his old
mansion, in excellent health, enjoying good
old age, with all the comforts of life blooming
; around him With nations respect and es-

to be President. He lives not exactly in log
cabin. but in the same plain and substantial
