BIRDS IN NJArAN.-Birds arc treated very
kindly in japan. They are never killed
fer i ort; and little :roughs are scoopcd out
IN the tombstoncs, which priests fill every
morning with water for their drink. Dur
lug the stay Of Commodore Perry's ships,
number Of officers started one day to 90
" cunning As soon as the japanese saw
the cruel murder Of their birds. they went
10 the Commodore and begged him to put
stop to such conduct. There was no more
birdshooting in Japan by American Off
GERS after that; and, when the treaty be-
tween the two countries was concluded, one
condition Of it was that The birds should al
ways be protected.
Take care of the birds. That is what We
must do in this country. Unless we do,
goodbye to fruit; for the insects will get
the upper hand Of us and cat it up Let
the birds live, and they will not only cheer
lis by their beauty and their songs, but de.
stroy the insects and preserve our fruit.

rGMAS AAdSFkcihBbSffGd N dls FAkcighboffood, and as a
consequence, was continually urging his
ncighbors to "comc over to the LORDS
sidc,' as he cxprcssedit. lie had frequent
ly importuncd an old neighbor of his, who
was not particularly noted for his attend
ancc at church,or for his professions of re-
liglon- but was nevertheless, highly re-
spcctcd by all who knew him, to attend
one of their evening meetings. Now, the
plcty and honesty of the Deacon was Il
matter of doubt among his fellow towns
1ncn and particularly so with the old man
above mentioned, who for convenience VIC
may call Uncle Josh.
After frequent calls, Uncle Josh con-
scntcd to accompany the deacon to one
OF the meetings and accordingly attended
him to the "rcd school house, one evening"
much to the surprise Of all present. In
the course of the service, the deacon arose
with pcnitcntial countenance, to tell his
experience. He was the prince of sinners
he said. If he got his deserts, he would
be banshcd forever from divine favor
After making himself out to be all that is
vile in man, according to his Interpretation
of "hc that humblcth himself shall be ex-
altcd," he sat down with sublime sense
Of having done his duty, and asked Uncle
Josh if he wouldn't tell his experience.
With some little reluctance he arose amid
the breathlcss attention of the assembly,
1T was an unknown occurrence for "Uncle
Josh to speak in meeting" lie said he
had listened with great interest to the
remarks of the deacon, and he was hap
py to be able to assure the brethren that
from bis long acquaintance with him, he
could fully endorse all the deacon bad said
concerning his mcanncss and vileness for
he certainly was the mcanest man hc ever
knew. The wrath Of the deacon was ter
rife. He spraug to his feet, shook his
fist under Uncle Josb's nose and cxclaim-
cd aloud :-"You'rc liar aud III whip
you as soon as you get out of church."
