1t is a curious fact that the love of our
race is so innate in the robin as 20 render
him unhappy in any other society-ex-
cePting only the breeding season, when
all birds are naturally shy and suspicious
for the welfare of their offspring. Go
into any wood, walk down any shady lane,
enter any cemetery, seat yourself in any
country church yard; or perch yourself on
any rural style-within a few moments
you will assuredly have a robin beside
you, and he will assuredly introduce him
self with song. 1t is vain for you TO
say to him nay. He fairly fascinates you,
he woes your heart and wins it. How
many of Day successes in winning human
hearers are attributable to the hints af-
forded me by this ingenious, bold, open
ing, conquering bird.--Kidd on the Robin.

The uproarious and dsafening applause
called forth by this jeu d'esprt having
subsided, Mr.. Everett rose and paid with
usury the compliment and laudation he
had received, and gave in return:
