SPARROW"S NEST

A SPARROW'S NEST.
And what a medley thing it is
Inever saw nest like this;
Not neatly woye, with decent care,
Of silvery moss and shining hair;
But put together, odds and ends,
Picked up from enemies and friends
see. bits of thread and bits of rag,
Just like little rubbish bag
See! hair of dog and fur of cat,
And raveiiings of a worsted mat,
And shreds of silks, and many feather.
Compacted cunningly together.
| Well, here has boarding been and hvug,
| And not little good contrivlng,
| Before home of peace and ease
Was fashioned out Of things like these.
| Think had these odds and ends been brought
To some wise man renowned for thought
| Some man Of men very gem
Pray, what could he have done wit them:
| If we had said =" Here, sir, we bring
You many worthless little thing
Just bits aud scraps, SO very small
| That they have scarcely size at all;
" And out of these you must coutrive
A dwelling large enough for five,
| Neat, warm, and snug, with comforts stored,
Where five small things may lodge and board"
| How would the man of learning vast
! Have been astonlshed and ashast
| And vowed that such a thing had been
| Ne'er heard of, thought of, much less seen
| All man of learning, YOU are wrong;
Instinct is more than wisdom strong,
| And He who made the sparrow taught
This skill, beyond your reach of thought.
| And here in this uncostly nest,
I These little creatures have been blest,
! Nor have kings known, in palaces,
| Half such content as is in this.
Poor simple dwelling as it is.

all the Strawberries coming into Now York

hundred new sorts have beee introduced
since this old favorite was first brought to
notice; and every one of the two hundred
newer sorts were claimed at the time OF

Wilson. And Yet the Wilson has been
more denounced as a poor berry than all
The rest put together. As counterpart OF
this. there are more than two thousand
sorts of apples described in the books

since the Baldwin and Rhode Island

sorts have been replaced by any of this

SCOrCH V. ENGLISH AGRICULTtRE--
Mr.. A. MrNtel Cair. in a letter to the
Farmet comparing Scotch with English
Agriculture. makes out a poor case for The
latter. He Ii Tvs titt. with Il finer eli
mate and more fertile land, England
when Judged by The Scottish standard
falls short in the production of stock. to
he extent of 1000 cattle. and / 500.-
900 sheep. The reason assigned for this is
that in ENGLAND. the total area under
rrn>s, 10000. GOO acres, are under natural
rr. s~eS. and but % 1000 are under cult
vrted grasses, clover, etc: while Of the
100. 00O acres under grass in Scotland
