It Is wonderful how birds love the
companionship of men. Even the Indian
recognizes this liking, anu puts up his
gourd Tor the purple martin; the cJlored
man OF the South IN like manner sells UP
a. calabash, while in our villages are
seen martin houses, often eyincing taste
in their construction. But the Ameri.
can swallows formerly kept aloof from
men. aud in the far West the martin
still, as of old, builds in hollow trees.
Some of our migratory birds are seen
with us in winter. This is explained by
the agricultural habits Of men. Wherever
agriculture flourisheS, SO will insects,
and the fields OF the husbandman are
thus attractive to the birds who come
thither with their sweet voices and
good deeds. Now this TACT does, in time,
greatly modify the migration Impulse
The bird is a frequent vs tor TO our gai.

A Good Story.

A good anecdote is given in q journal
published at Nancy, lhe authenticity OF
which is guaranteed. 1t appears that Il
Prussian project in the annexed prov
iuces of Alsace and Lorraine was visit
ing ,he different localities over which he
had authority. On passing through a
small village in Lorraine, he asked the
old priest to show MIN over the cnurcn,
and espied silver rat in a case high
over the altar. He immediately asked
what it meant. The good father replied
that many years ago the village had been
overrun with rats, and as a last resort
the people clubbed together and offered
rat in soliG silver, lille size, to the Vir.
yin, since which time but lew yermin had
been seen.
"Do you mean to say that they believe
even to this day that an offering OF sill.
yer thing can Tree the country from ver
minw
~ am afraid not" quoth the good
father. "Men have grown impious now
a days, but am persuaded that dtd they
believe IL, lhey would ere this time have
offered silver Prussian, lie size, at tnt
altar OF the Virgin"
The project looked hard at the old cure
