a Random Dialogue.

In the town of N, in New Hamp-
shire, lived old Farmer p who was very
deaf On his farm, near the road, stood a.
very large tree, and thirty feet from the
ground on this tree was large knot
As Farmer P. was passing by one day,
he thought he would cut it down to make
a mill post Of He had been to work some
time, when he thought some stranger would
come along and ask him the following ques-
tions, and he would make the following an
swers:
What is that tree for p asks the stran-
ger.
A mill post replies the farmer.
How long are you going to cut it?'
'Up to that knot
How much do you ask for it?'
fFive dollars

As old Farmer P. was working away
sure enough stranger did come along and
the following dialogue ensued:
Good morning, SIR said the stranger.
A mill post replied the farmer.
How far is it down to the corner p

'You don't understand me; how far is

NATURAL HISTORY,
Winter Birds.


One Of the prettiest objects a winter
landscape affords is seen in the birds that,
singly or in focks, fit about our houses,
fields, orchards, und gardens, sometimes
lighting on trees or bushes, near the door,
sometimes even futtering against the win
dows, as if envious to witness the ways of
human domestic life, or desirous of shar-
ing the warmth and comfort within. No
other than q human cry for shelter and
protection teaches the benevolent, sympa-
thetic heart with more piteous, appeal
ing sound, than to hear one of these wee,
helpless things come beating against the
window pane, to which the cheerful light
within has attracted it, and from which any
movement of welcome will send it frighten-
ed away.
Winter birds excite our interest and Gu
riosity in many respects. First, their ex-
treme hardness, so superior to that of other
birds that they find summer in our season
of frost and snow, is sufficient to call forth
our wonder and admiration. To what their
great power of resisting cold is due-by
what means they are enabled to live in tenn
perature that would prove fatal to tenderer
birds-whether on the approach of spring
they seek more northern latitude-what
they find to eat when the ground is frozen
and perhaps covered deep with SNOW
when they fold their wings at the coming
of the bleak, wintry night, when the leaf
less trees can afford NO shelter-the popu-
lar superstition that the appearance of hocks
of snow birds, so-called, indicates speedy
| fall of snow, while brown birds are held to
be sure precursors of rain-these and 9th
er considerations tend to invest them with
peculiar and romantic interest.
We are accustomed to think and speak
of winter as season made dcsolate by the
absence of bright flowers, green leaves, sing
ing birds, and babbling brooks; and to
perhaps most of US the coming and going
of the robin, the blue-bird, the oriole, the
bobolink, and other summer birds, seem
alone worthy of attention the habits and
movements of the winter king, the chick-a
dee, and the whole class of hardy, feather.
ed songsters passing nearly or quite unno-
ticed. Indead, we easily and naturally as
sociate birds with summer; birds and win
ter are scarcely thought of together.
The difference betweene summer and
winter birds with respect to their gentle
ness and familiarity with man, almost war
rants US in Distinguishing the former az
tame or, domestic, the latter as wild birds
Those hover about our dwellings, seem te
invite our acquaintance and sing for oul
satisfaction. They pick and eat our Der
ries, help US destroy noxious insects, builc
their nests hardly outside our houses, almos
taking materials out Of our hands to pu
into them, and in various ways signif.
their desire for human companionship.-
These, ON the contrary, though they no
altogether shun the abodes OF men, manl
fest the most provoking shyness in all thei
movements. They pay us only taying Wis
its, and any attempt at coaxing frighten
them into instant departure The singiD
seems not intended for our ears. Unlik

A Secret Rebel Society in Indiana.

FhOM The 1NDlANAPOLlS JOURNAL
By means which it is not necessary to
disclose, it has been ascertained that a
secret society has been organized in this
State with the purpose of opposing the war
and defeating all attemps to sustain it by
taxation. This society has its oaths, pass
words, signs, and lodges, as any other Sc
cret society, and is undoubtedly an ofshoot
of tho K. G. c." association, adapted to
this latitude. 1t exists in this city, in Ter
re Haute, in Rockville, in Mad son, and
several other places. Its meetings are Sc
cret, and its lodge-rcoms are kept carefully
concealed. It's members in this city, and
several others, are positively known, though
1t is not known that there may not be 9TH
ers connected with it than those who have
been Spotted The existence of the So
ciety has been known for some time, but it
has only been within a short time that ap-
pliances could be brought to bear to pro-
cure full exposure of the secrets The
meetings have been watched, and tho par
ticipants marked, but their purpose could
only be conjectured. They have been
tracked night after night through all their
windings and concealments, till all that
could be learned outside has been made as
familiar to the detectives as to the men,
bers themselves. But, recently, detection
has got inside, and we publish below the
exposure it has made:
