The PFC AND THE MocKING BIRD.-Mr. Goss.
in the history of the birds of Jamaica, gives
an amusing account Of the mocking bird The
hogs are, it seems, the creatures that give him
the most annoyance They are ordinarily fed
upon the inferior oranges, the fruit being
shaken down to them in the evening hence
they acquire the habit of resorting to the
orange tree for lucky windfall. The mock
ing bird feeling nettled at the intrusion, flies
down and begin pecking away at the hog with
all its might. Piggy, not understanding the
matter, but pleased with the Utilization, gently
lies down and turns up his broad side to enjoy
it The poor bird gets in agony of distress,
pecks and pecks again, but increases the en-
joyment of the luxurious intruder, and is at
last compelled to give it up.
