A PET RAVENS ATTEMPT AT NEST BUILD
lSo.-This from Once Week. is like "
caricature of bachelor css"ying, unaided,
to furnish his house:
"One of these resulted from a propensi-
ty which came upon him every spring TO
build nest. He knew no more about the
art of building than if he had had fonr
feet instead of two, and had worn hair in
stead of feathers; but always about the
same time of the year he became very
mysterious, and very much occupied with
some business of his own. He was OBJ
served to collect sticks, and resortcd much
TO the the uuder-fr framework Of an open
thatched roof which protected shed :
Here, in fact, he slept at all seasons of the
wear, and the place might be called his
residence. Here, then, lie brought his
sticks, impelled most probably by dim
vision that something moro than usually
domestic was to be done. But the sticks,
though collected in large quantities, were
laid about in all directions, without the
least approach to compactness or form.

job he was making OF it, for nothing could
vex him more than for us to go and look
nj his nest; so of course we went accord
iugly. He evidently knew it was wrong,
bat did not know how to make it right;
and when we approached the place he was
both angry and embarrassed, exhibiting
every appearance of being exceedingly
ashamed of what he was about. Perhaps
the building partner was wanting in the
concern, and so the nest making never ad-
'vanced beyond the mere collecting of raw
material"

Why, knew person, yonder he is now,
on high change, specimen ofmanly beauty,
portly six footer. He has the bearing ofa
prince, for he is one ofourmerchant princes.
His face wears the hue Of health. and now,
at the age Of fifty odd, he has the quick elias
tic step of our young men oftwenty-fve and
none more full of mrth and wit than he, and
| know he never dimes without brandy and
water, and never goes to bed without ter
rapin or oyster supper, with plenty of cham
pagne and more than that, he was never
known to.be Drunk So here is a living eS-
ample and disproof of the temperance twad-

temperate use of good liquors"
Nov it so happened that tuis specimen of
safe brandy drinking was a relation of ours.
He died in year or two after, of chronic
diarrhea, common end of those who are
never drunk, nor even out ofliquor. Heleft
his widow splendid manson up town, and
a clear five thousand a year, besides large
fortune to each of his six children for he
had ships on every sea and credit at every
counter but which he never had occasion to
use. For months before he died-he was a
year in dying--he could eat nothing without
distress, and at death, the whole alinentary
canal was mass of disease in the midst OF
his millions he died Of inanition. This is
not the half reader. He had been steady
