NATURAL HISTORY,
The Painted Bunting

Ia found in Lower Louisiana, where 10 Is
universally known among the French ln-
babitants, and called by them LIE Rapei,
and by the Americans rha NonpareH. Its
cav dress and aoGihty Of manners have
procured it many admirers soF these quail
ities are highly attractive, and always car
ry their own recommendation along with
them The low countries of the southern
states, in the vicinity Of the sea and along
the borders of our large rivers, particularly
among the rice plantations, are the iasofi'e
haunts of this elegant little bird "A few
are seen in North Carolina; they are more
numerous in South Carolina, and still more
40 in Georgia. Their sOtes very much
resemble those of the Indigo bird, but want
their strength and energy.
These birds are domestieated at New
Orleans, and is the Rsest common cage bird
they have. Sa1 of these birds, says Will
son, which | brought with me from New
Orleans by sea, soon became reconeiIed to
sae cage. In good weather, the males
sung with great sprightliness. They were
greedily fond of flies, which accompanied
us in grea, numbers during the whole voy-
age; and many of the passengers amused
themselves with catching them, and giving
them 70 the nonpareils; till at length, the
birds became 50 well acquainted with the
amusement, that as soon as they saw any
of the people attempting to catch flies, they
assembled at the front of the cage, stretch
ing out their heads, evidently much inter
ested in the issue of their success.
They build their nests in orange trees,
and sometimes in blackberry bushes. They
are formed of dry grass, and the silk OF cat
erpillars, and lined with hair and fine roots
The plumage undergoes great changes, not
being perfect till the fourth season. The
head and neck of the male is OF rich
purplish hue, the chin and lower parts are
7ermilion; back glossy yellow, stained with
green and sometimes with red wings red
edged with green. 1t is seven inches and
three fourths long. The female is of
green olive; the lower parts are light yel-
low. 1t is FIVE inches and a half long.
The food of the painted bunting consists
of rice, insects, and various kinds of seeds,
among which are the seeds IF ripe figs
They frequent gardens, and chant occasion
ally during the whole summer In the fall
they retire to the south.

through the room that this could not be
outdone. when second proved that he ar
rested his taller for money loaned him.
The palm is his was the general cry,
but third put in his claim.
Gentlemen, said he, | cannot boast of
the feats of either Of my predecessors,
but I returned to the owners two umbrellas
that they left at my house

4 Great Aaainment-Ruskin says ::
Speaking the truth is like writing fair,
and comes only by practice ; it is less a
matter of will than of habit; and doubt
if any occasion can be trivial which permits
the practice and formation Of such habit
To speak the truth with constancy and pre-
cision, is nearly as difficult, and perhaps
as meritorious, as to speak it under intim-
idation or penalty

R9An intelligent lady whose little 10y
was beginning to swear, anxious to express
to her child the horror of profanity, hit
upon a novel plan of washing out his mouth
with soap suds whenever he swore. Itwss
an efectual cure. The boy understood his
mothers sense of the corruption of an oath,
which with the taste of the suds, produced
the desired result The practice il univer-
sally adopted, would raise the price of soap.

high minded and accomplished gentleman,

quired great personal and political influence.

Madame Yarian's stage appearance is per

night last, has another charge to answer for.
Some months ago a trunk belonging to a
boarder at sehwind's tavern on the Flats, was
forced open, and $3.50 distracted. Several
circumstances seemed to indicate Mulhol-
land as the thief, but he was not then to be
found. The charge has been again brought
up, and several witnesses have been sent for
