eggs and if, without mangling the mother, it
be skillully removed from her and suddenly
thrown out of her sight, she instantaneously
loses all her activity, seems parayzed and coils
her tremulous limbs as if MORALLY wounded.
II the bag be returned, her ferocity and strength
are restored the moment she has any percep-
ton of ats presence, and she rushes to her trea-
sure to defend it to the last.-Prof lessor Hentz.

ers counsel remarked that if they had not done
justice to their clients, they had certainly done
Justice To the wine.
