ln the State Of Massachusetts there is a law
which turbId5 the murder of small birds. Sports
men may shoot game birds; but robins swal-
lows, aud all varieties of the ieathered creation
winch not suited for The table, are protected
by formal statute. This law, which commends
Itself to general approval on the ground of Ite
humanity, was not, however, adopted on that
account Many years ago, the people of Mas
sachusetts noticed that their trees were being
destroyed by worms and, on examination, tn ey
discovered that the increase of the worm tribe
was exactly propOrtiOnate to the destruction of
small birds by wanton spOrtsmen. To remedy
the evil they struck at its root, ond pronounced
small birds sacred from shot They have their
reward. From that time 10 this the worm tribe.
which is the common lsod for birds, have been
gradually diminishing in the Bay Slate, and
trees have fOurIshcd with unusual vigor. But
for this la many parts of Massachusetts would
now have been treeess, and droughls would

This law for the protection of sma.l birds
should be adopted by every State IN the Union.
Robins and swallows have their function in the
economy of the world they should be protec-
ted in It's discharge. If they are not, the day
will come when we shall miss them sadly.
Trees, too, demand more general attention
than they have hitherto received. Nothing has
been created in vain ; as small birds serve to

Pulpit Wit.

In Pennsylvania there is a clergyman almost
as remarkable for eloQueDce and eccentricitv
as Lorenzo Dow himself On charity occasions
his pathOs, wit, and soinetmes bitter satire are
sure to win more bank notes and gold coin to
The State than the decorous elCquence of half
IA dozen other men. Ga late occasion be was
preaching a temperance sermon, which pro-
duced unusual effect on the audience. Among
other things, he asserted as a result of his own
observation, that confessedly moderate drink
er was sure to become a confirmed inebriate
within five years after he reached that sta ge
of indulgence.
lie was interrupted here by a man in the au-
cIence, who started up in great excitement,
procIalmng himself moderate drinkcr of ten
years standing, and one on whom the habit
made no progress.
The clergyman stopped short, leaned over
tAe pulpit, and when the man had ceased
speaking, called cut:
a look at you -
The man made an effort To brave the host of
eyes turned upon him, aud stood his ground.
Nearer, man - cried the minister, beckon- .
ing with his long finger. Hold light up to

bench aud give us good look"
The moderate drnker was not to be looked |
down or talked down, aud not Only mounted the .
bench but allowed lamp to be held close to hIS .

Temperance Societies.

At the recent session of the State Temper,
ance Convention, held IN Wilmington, commit
tees were appointed, after much care IN their
selection, to organize local societies IN every
district of the State. The convention did this,
hoplng that the gentlemen to whom this duty
was assigned, would engage IN the work with
some little zeal the success of the plan, with
the designs Of the meeting faithfully carried
out, all we're fully assured of. The idea con-
celved was good one, and the only means at
present feasible for arrestIng IN some measure,
the evils of intemperance. The influence of
such local organizations was presumed 10 be
quite strong and prevailing. 1t was supposed
that this influence would reach nearly every
man in the community, and SO 1t would If the
committees could be induced to go TO work with

much as possible.

Living Organism in the Atmosphere.

Living Organism in the Atmosphere.
That the air we breathe teens with myrads
OF living creatures may be easily shown.
II stream Of air is carried through distilled
water (Which is of course absolutely prre), and
the vessel containing the water is immediately
corked and allowed to remain for few months
at moderate summer temperature and is then
opened, the water will emit the disagreeable
odor Of animal putrefaclion. The same phe-
uomenon will be noticed if snow be gathered,
melted and placed in bottle. That the odor is
not due to the presence Of ammonia washed
from the atmosphere, is proved by the fact that
this odor cannot be detected emanating from
the water within the first few days, whatever
the temperature may be but when some time
has psed-sufiicient for the development and
death OF the animated beings in 1.-THE odor of
putretaction is perceived.
Then again, according TO DR.. RddeIl, if a
drop Of distilled water, treated as above men.
toned is evaporated on a clean watch glass,
light colored stain will be seen. If the glass be
now heated short of redness, the stain is black
ened. 1t heated to redness in contact with air,
the stain entirely disappears, except a mere
trace OF ash; thus showing that the material
observed Is some form Of organized being. If
a glass vessel containing ice ia suspended over
moist alluviaI land, and the dew that gathers
upon It's exterior is collected, it will appear at
first like pure clean waller, but soon, according
TO MOscau, an Italian saYan, little flakes appear
possessed OF properties peculiar TO animalized
matters, and finally, at the end of some days
the liquid will purify completely.
1t is impossible to determine the forms or
habits of these invisible creatures; but their
existence is demonstrated by the foregoing OBJ.
'ervations. Mcroscopsts have suspected the
existence of such beings from observing the
movements Of the smallest of the visible tribes
If the animalcules. These may be seen DART
ng here and there in drop Of water, when no
'ther variety is visible, evden,y in pursuit of
o@e sort of prey. A single one will be seen
TILL tor moment; then it darts forward rapid.
y, and stops, its body writhing, as if in strug-
lie with It's prey.
If the observer will take a solution of meat.
Ind heat 1t in closed vessel to degree little
Ioove the boiling point, which destroys all ami.
nal germs, and close the vessel tight, no ami.
mails can be seen on it, and DO putrefaction will
ccur, no matter how long it is kept But if

lied with varied forms of living creatures. If
N the other hand, the vessel is covered with
n animal membrane, then all the usual cheni-
al changes take place, but no living beingsare
eveloped
These facts are of great importance, as taken
n connection with the belief growing in the
lindss OF medical men, that animal, or even
egetable spores suspended in the air, carried
a ships, or waited by winds, are reproduced in
ountless millions wherever they go, and find
he conditions necessary for their development,
lay be, after all, the mysterious causes of DESC
