song and story, and the tender sympathy
which this bird is supposed 10 feel for stray

of the occupants OF the nursery. A painful
little circumstance, will interest our young

firm their regard for the robin, was brought
10 light after the fire at the residence of Mr..
MCalum, week or two ago In tree
near by, robin had built her nest, and

young to fly, and although the flames pro.

intense, the mother bird refused to forsake
her nest, and persisted IN her efforts to protect
her little ones from harm. The nest was
afterwards discovered, and the parent bird
was found, with her little brood still under
her, but ali were dead. What wonderful
instinct has the Creator bestowed upon this
little creature, that would impe il thus to
sacrifice its own life, in manner so pecul.

NJ. L'ATBE IsIDoRE MULLoIs, private
chaplain to the Emperor Napoleon. has
been publishing book on the Reta-
tons orNe Clergy i0ith the People, which
has attained already IA circulation of
10000 among the priests of France. 1t
has been translated and republfshed
here, ard contains much that, the New
York Times thinks, Protestant clergy
men might read with profit, for no men
have shown so much effective art in in
teresting and influencing the people as
the Roman clergy. 1t treats partially
OF a practice that is beginning TO be
studied of late, that of preaching short,
pithy sermons, ranging, indeed, from
twenty minutes down to seven and five.
Archdeacon Denison, OF the English
Church, Is a very popular and effective
preacher, though his morning sermons
are condensed into ten minutes. He
preached not long since in Bristol. and
that paper described him as THAT stur-
dy ecclesiastic who has no eloquence,
but is acceptable to some people be-
cause he calls spade spade" Con-
densation, directness and simplicity
would improve much of the dermon-
iziug of the American pulpit.
