The Cnow.-In the article on Winter
Birds we have this defence in TIE Atlantic
Monthly:
He ronsumes in the course Of the year,
vast quantities of grubs, worms, and nox-
ious vermin, he is valuable scavenger. aud
clears the land Of offensive masses of de-
caying animal substance (; he hunts the grass
fields, and pulls out and devours the under
ground caicr2illars, wherever he perceives
the signs Of their operations, as eyinced by
the wilted stalks; he destroys mice, young
rats. lizards, and the serpents lastly, he is
a volunteer sentinel about the farm, and
drives the hawk from its enclosures. thus
preventing greater mischief than that Of
which he himself is guilty. II is chiefly
during seed time and harvest that the dep
relations of the crow are committed; du-
ring the remainder Of the year we witness
only his services; and so highly are these
services appreciated by those WHO have
written Of birds, that cannot name an or
nilhologist who does not plead in his behalf.

of the tendency of temperance orators to
put themselves forward as previous exam

"My friends, three months ago signed
the pledge. (Clapping of hands and APP
proving cLcers.) In month afterwards,
my friends, | had a sovereign in my pocket,

and loud cbeers.) In another month, my
friends, ! had good coat on my back, a
thing never had before. CHEERS and
clapping of hands much louder.) A fort
night after that, my friends, bought
coffin CThe audience was going to cheer,
but stopped and looked seriously "You
wonder" continued the speaker, "why /
bought coffin. Well, my friends,
felt pretty certain if kept the pledge an
