The Albatross.

This noble bird, is in body about the
size af a common goose; but, to enable
it to undertake the extraordinary flights
which often carry it hundreds of leagues
from any resting. place, except the bill
lows foamiug under its rapid course, it
is provided with wings of immense
length and power. With these, which
often measure as much as twelve feet
from tip to tip, it glides in search Of
prey over boundlcss tracts. Unsuitable
and voracious in appetite, it is always
craving, and never satisfied Not con.
tent with feeding on the inhabitants of
the deep, it preys indiscriminately on
everything which it comes across. A
piece Of pork or suet, fixed on small
hook, and allowed to drag by long liLe
in the wake Of the vessel, often proves
atemptation too strongto be resisted: the
greedy bird stoops on his prey, swallows
the bait, aud then, with distended
wings, is towed on board, aud soon
stands tottering on deck amidst his ex-
ulting captors.
The immense power Of wing Of the
albatross enables it to cleave the air with
the greatest facility aud motion pecu-
liar to itself. Its yidely.extended pin
ions, without any perceptible volition,
carry it rapidly past from the extreme
verge of the horizon; whilst its gliding
and graceful movements appear To he
