ABOUT THE BIRDs.-The National Intelligence,
gives the following beautiful instance of the
kindncsa tows rds on ch other nv tho birds.


A gentleman observed in thickct OF bushes
near his dwelling, collection Of brown thrushes,
who for several days attracted his attention
by their loud cries and strange movements. At
last curiosity was SO much excited that he de-
termined to see if he could ascertain the cause
Of the excitement among them.
On examining the bushes he found u female
thrush, whose wing was caught in such way
that she could not escape. Near by was her
nest, containing several half grown birds. On
retiring n little distance, company of thrushes
appeared with worms and other insects in their
mouths, which they gave first to the mother
and then to her young, she il the meanwhile
cheering them in their labor of love with q song
of gratitude.
After watching the interesting scene until
curiosity was satisfied, the gentleman relieved
the poor bird, when she flew to her nest with
grateful song to her deliverer, and her chnrita-
BILE neighbors dispersed to their usual abodes,
singing as they went song of praise.
