Last week we chronced the mysterious dis
appearance Of our Christmas turkey This
week We are happy ION the principle that
misery loves company 20 announce the disap-
pearauce, 10y the same line, of the Christmas
turkey land fine, fat one he was tool of our
friend Cusheu Of the Commonwealth OfcnurS-
our tongue cannot give uttcrauce to our opinion
Of a man who woUld steal turkeys, under any
considerations bat when We consider the fact
Of their being editors turkeyS-ChriStmas fix
ems at that-we stuudamazrd and dumbfouud-
ed. We think the cnterpriSing individual who
carried iutu successful operation these foW af-
fairs. has reached the lowest depths Of mean
ness attsinabIe by a drpravel human being
He'll bc iu Congress next.
We take the above from the last Rocking
ham Register. which reminds US Of similar
calamity upon ourselves two years ago. Ow
turkey however was not in Our coop, and as it
disappeared before reaching us We have since
reminded our friend that as the fault did not
rest with US in providing seft quarters for the
turkey, that perhaps he still might have one of
later growth to spare.
Our coop is open to any Of our friends who
may feel disposed to fIl it.

TO A MOCKING BIRD.
ev 5. q. LEE, OF suEFHERDsrOwS


Hast ever heard the sky-lark's deatAless note,
Az, with ambitious wing,
And more ambitious song he seems 70 hoat
Almost where angels sing,
As though he sought to steal some heavenly strain
To an the measure of his own refrainI
Hast thou had teaching from the nightingale,
Hy@ni0g the list'ning moon!
Or, slyly covert in some secret vale,
Conned DER the thrush's tune;
And caught the rich full throated gush he filings
lnt0 the orchestra that April bringsl
To learn the bul bulls note, DER Persia's sands
Hast thou uRwearicd iownY
Or snatched thee from the far Australian strands,
The bell birds vibrate tone,
Thar thou canst blend its lingering, silver thrill
With parodies Of jay and whip Poor-will?
Do orioles from verdaut Chesapeake,
And crested cardinal,
With innr O. from the Severn, come te seek,
Ob-dient 70 thy call,
II they can give thee one new music-thOught,
Who cv'ry note from cv'ry land has caught?
Or hast thou been where Music's fountains start,
Meath mystic mythic skies.
And drank So deeply, that from out thy heart
Such glorious melodies
Leap. gushing, gurgling, in tumultuous throng,
Until the quivering tree-top drips with song?
Methinks the rarest choirs Of Fairy-land
AkiANCN nc. CnOlCtcl GuulNs
Then sent the msster-SOngSters from each band
And babe them teach thee, bird
Who, having taught bewildered gathered round
And marvelled where such wondrous song was
found
God bless thee, Southland bird! God bless thy
Law!
Like music in a dream,
IL floats from old Potomac's cliffs away
To Colarados stream
From where Nirginia's mountain torrents roar,
To where the warm Gulf laps the Texas shore.
Where Creole maids their loved and lost ones weep
Among the cypress glades;
Or Cardinals blue-eyed daughters keep,
Beneath magnolia shades,
The darling graves where rest their darling dead,
And lay camelias DER the slecper's head
And everywhere thy joyous medleys ring,
The weary mOurners SMILE
And saddcst hearts grow glad to hear the sing,
Sweet music king, the while
They breathe " God bless the" thou that dOst be-
long
To Us oh bird of universal song
