CITY AND COUNTRY. desire of country lads for city life is natural enough. They are captivated by the stylish dress, soft hands, and easy man. ners of the young men of the city they meet from time to time, and are natural ly attracted by a life that would enable them to enjoy what they consider so de sirable. They do not know that the poor clerk has nothing but his dress and soft hands, and that between his desire to equal the style of those whose incomes are far in advance of his, and the limita- tions of his small salary, he leads a life of disquietnde and unhappiness that the country youth never dreamed of.

NEST BUILDING. Valiant gives 8 curious account of the process of build ing by 8 little African warbler, which shows that very beautiful ne t may be built up with very little art. The foun- datlon was formed of moss and flax, in- terwoven with grass and tufts of cotton, and presented rude mass, five or six inches in diameter and four inches thick. This was pressed and ,trampled down re- pcatedly, thus making it into a kind of felt. The birds pressed it with their bodies, turning round upon them at every direction So as to get it quite firm and smooth before raising the sides. These were added bit by bit, and trimmed and beaten with the wings and feet, in order to felt the whole together, project ing flores being now and then worked in with the bill By these simple and in- efficient meanss the inner surface of the nest was made almost as smooth and compact as piece of cloth.-Bfrc,s a,sd nestS.

have been enjoying a good season of
religious awakening. Some that were
back-slidden have been reclaimed, while
some OF the aged and of the youth. have
been hopefully converted to God; and we
hope the work will continue to increase
until hundreds shall give their hearts TO
Christ. There Is general interest In the
place. Our meetings are well attended.
and there Is as good attention as ever

Saviour in that sacred rite of baptism. in the

hope will soon follow their Saviour in that
sacred ordinance. We have a meeting
