Migrating Eairis--A Fresh BIT Of
Natural History.
From the Hartford iimcs.l

How do these robins, ami the swol-
lows, and other migrating birds, c III
trive to make, Un05scryed, their long
Journey north and south: Who sees
them arrive? Who has ever seen
them depart?
Tncy have time to come, and a
tine to depart; and they move alto
grthar. We find them with rs. spme
ri ht and ch. morning IN the lat
t.r half Of March, or early April
We may feel sure they were not here
the Preceding morning. When lid
they come? Who saw them arr We
\ friend who has careflIly stu.is
this problem. gives his slow but de;i4
e1 conclusion. 1t Is this: Oar migrat-
ing birds chiefly come and 60 IN he
might.
His observations have led I'm also
to the belief that this annual migration,
north and south, IS due less to "'n-
stinct" than to instruction, and sort
Of tradition, actually Impaired to a
host OF Young BIRDS by the oideE ones.
lie has reached the conclusion that
the young ones, born aud brought up
here in the north would not know by
instinct, that long and treadtul sea-
son of deadly cold, with dr;'cinS
SHOWS, an fearful storms; was comih-,
from which all sensible birds must fee,
and seek in more genial latitudes their
winter home. In proof OF this he
cites the case Of those ROBINS which
remain with Us over winter These, he
says, are invariably young robins,

all the national experience has proved

The refusal or reserve of a mighty

reaching the same intellectual strength
that yod will be abe to give an equal

can tell you beforehand what to accept
or what to ignore olly remember si-
Ways, in pantin; as in eloluenes, the
greater your strength, the quieter will
be your manner, anI the fewer your

Peas Three Thousand Years Old.

In the course of late explorations in
the ancient ruins of Egypt, General An
derson, an English traveller, found, in
closed in sarcophagus beside mummy,
a few dry peas, which he preserved care
fully and, on his return to Great Britain
planted in the rich soil of the Island of
Guernsey. The seed germinated, and
soon two little plants appeared, from
which, at maturity, sufficient peas were
gathered to plant quite a large tract of
ground in the following season.
Some of the plants thus raised have
attained hight of over six feet, and
have been loaded with blossoms of ex-
quisite odor, and of delicate rose tint.
The peculiar feature of the growth is the
stem, which is small near the root but
increases greatly in size as it ascends, re-
quiring support to sustain it upright.
The pods, instead of being distributed
around all portions of the stem as in the
ordinary plant, are grouped about the
upper extremity.
The vegetable, it is said, belongs to the
ordinary garden variety; but from its
present ting the very distinctive differences
above noted, it seems worthy of close
botanical examination. The peas are OF
remarkably fine flavor excelling in deli
| cacy those of the choicest known varie
ties.

RANDOM THOUGHTS
BY THE EDITOR.

Two weeks ago l spoke about meet
ing of the citizens to take into copsidera-
ton the condition of the poor and needy.
Some things occurred at that meeting to
which l wish now to refer. As then
stated, a committee were appointed to
make inquiry for cases of destitution.
One gentleman stated that he had seen
two boys who were bare-footed, and an
other stated at length that he had seen
persons who appeared to be destitute. l
suggested that when the committee were
Investigating, it might be well to inquire

not know but that 1 would be put out of
the room. The gentleman who had seen
the bare-footed boys Indignantly replied
that he wanted no smelling committees.
1t was none of his business why men
were poor. Another gentleman agreed
with him. He said it was no ones bust
ness a0hy men were poor Men did not
make themselves poor. God made them
poor. 1 meekly replied if that were so,

poverty, as it would be going counter to
the purposes and will of God.
Now understand me. do not object
to relieving the distressed families OF
drunkards and idlers. God knows that
none more sorely need the sympathy,
pity and aid of all good men and women
than they do. Members of the Village
Council were present to aid in taking
measures to relieve the distressed. These
gentlemen fastened tippling houses upon
our town. Are these places the things
which have compelled little boys to go
bare-footed in the winter? Are gentle
men afraid to have the facts reported by
committee? 1t appears so. will as
sert, and committee of investigation
would so report, that during the year
1874, fifty thousand dollars has been
spent in the town of Jackson for ale,
