teen Presidents ali but five have borne
Christian names Of scripturaI origin. or
these ten are names from the New Testa-
ment-four Jameses, three. Johns, two An
iiTevSs. and one Thomasland two from the
Old Testament, named Zachary and Abra-
ham. Or the i've non-scripturaI names,
two, George and, Martin, are ,sppellations
of noted saints in the church calendar the
other three are William. Millard and
Franklin. But three of the Presidents have
rejoiced in middle names. These are John
Quincy Adams, William Henry Harris on,
and james Knox'Polk. d
Still more interesting is it to examine the
surnames of the Presidents. No fewer than
eight terminate really or esymologicaily
with the word "son." Adams is an abb

AGRICULTURAL.

= USEFULNESS IN BIRDs.-Farmers, do not
allow your boys to shoot the birds. 1t is a
we'll known fact that insects are the favor
ite food of most kinds of birds, particularly
OF the smaller kind. And to encourage the
increase of the feathered tribe by all posi-
-hle means would doubtless result in very
considerable advantage to the agriculturst.
Immense numbers Of these useful little
warblers are annually destroyed through
mere wantOnness and cruelty, while the
farmer is constantly harrassed with the raw
ages of worms and bugs in every depart
ment of vegetation. 1t is from small birds
we are to look for assistance against the
myriads of insects whose depredations are
so deieterious to our fields and gardens. ard
whose numbers, ii they are permitted to
increase by the expiration of our harmless
benefactor, the feathered songster, will eat
up our substance and destroy the labors of
the wearied husbandman who tolls by the
sweat of his brow to earn his scanty pit
tance. A writer, says "the parents of one
nest of young birds have been calculated
to destroy many thousands of insects in a
day, and thus at the commencement of a
warm season one days havoc prevents the
existence of many millions OF those beings
whose extensive sdevastations present a
barrier SO discouraging to the exertiOn of
the farmer" = - - %. ,-,,,,-,
1.-The following is an extract from some
remarks by a highly intelligent and en-
lightened agriculturalist 1.-The destruc-
tion of vast fields of grain by flies. in some
parts of our country. has been reasonably
attributed to the eXtermination OF birds.
1t has, indeed, been found necessary to
protect several species by law. but policy
and humanity, require that the protection
should be much farther extended. Some
birds are pursued with unsparing hostility.
from erroneous notions of their pernicious
habits; the woodpecker is of this class, yet
she deserves the gratitude instead of the i'll
will of man. She bores no trees but
such {, as are unsound, !, from which
she extracts insects which are SLOWLY
effecting their destruction. Linn9us re-
lates an occurrence in Sweden which is
somewhat to the point. Among the birds of
that country was particular species which
the country people apprehended were
somewhat destructive to their crops. They
accordingly made war upon them, and by
yearly repeated attacks =exterminated
them. In consequence, the insects, which
were the principal food OF these birds, in
creased to such an extent as to do an hum
dred-foldG more. damage to their crops of
grain and grass than the birds had done.
They then strove. to reinstate their species
and encourage their spreading in the coun-
try.i7 Let us not grudge, then, a little grain
to the harmless birds which animate ma
ture, in compensation for the valuable SER
vices they render us. n -.-9tn.-
