rRuE.- Who doubts TINT birds lovel Here is
evidence, from the Washington National lntelli-
gencer:
"a gentleman observed in thicket Of bushes
near his dwelling a collection Of brown thrushes,
who for several days attracted his attention by
their loud cries and strange movements. AT last
curiosity 80 much excited that he determn-
ed to see if he could ascertain the cause ofthe
excitement among them. On examining the
bushes, he found II female thrush. whose wing
caught in such way that she could not es-
oape. Near by was her nest. containing sever
nl half grown birds, On retiring little distance
company of thrusbes appeared with worms and
other insects in their mouths, which they gave
first TO the mother and then to her young she in
the meanwhile cheering them in their labor of
love with II song of gratitude. After watching
the interesting scene until curiosity was salts
fed, the gentleman relieved the poor bird when
she flew to her nest with grateful song to her
deliverer, and her charitable neigh dispersed
to their usual abodes singing as they went song
of praise.
