The swallow, swift, end uighthawk are the

increase Il Iasccts ,hbt otherwise would overload
It. Woodpcckers. crcepcrs. aud chicadees are
the guardians of the trunks Of trees. WARRIORS
and fycatchcrs protect the foliage. Blsckbirds,
crows, tbrushcs, and lsrks protect the surface OF
the soil. Snipe and woodcock protect the soil
under the surface Each tribe has its respective
duties TO perform in the economy OF Nature, and
tits an uudoubt,d fact that il birds were all swept
uG the face OF the earth man could not live upon
il vegetation would wither and die; insects
would become so numerous that no living being
could withstand their attacks. The Wholesale de
struotion occlsioned by grasshoppcrs which hsve
devastated the West is 70 a great extent perhaps,
caused by thc thinning out Of The birds such o.

Ihe great and incstimnble service done 60 the

Baltimore Sun, and accords so well with our
own estimate of that paper that we re re-proiuce
it with pleasure:
"Wo have heretofore neglected 70 mention
the fact tha, the Baltimore San recently at
taincd It's forty-Hrst birthday. To our mind
the San is the best newspaper ou the American
continent. II contains al the news, and con-
tains it, too, in brief, succinct form. 4 man
may read the New York Herald for half a day
and not learn rs much as he can by scanning
the columns of tho Baltimore Sun icr half an

the Baltimore Sm is indispensable. We

"sHE LOVED YOU BETTER THAN

Stravberry leaves we're red and sere,
October dews were fresh aud chill,
When passing on the wooded hill,
The hill that overlooked the sea,
You spoke conhdingly 70 me.
Me-Nhoin your keen, artistic sight,
Has not yet learned 20 read Alright.
The willis yelled my heart from you,
And loved you better than you knew.
You told ne Of your t9ilsome past,
or tafdy hon1rs won at last,
OF trials borne-uf conquests gained,
The longed for boon OF fame attained.
know ita; every victory but lifted you awal
from ne;
That every step Of high surprise,
But lett me lowler in your eyes;
watched the distance as II grew,
Aud loved you better than you know.
Your lilc's high aim, your acts high truth
Have kept the promise Of your youth,
And while y0u won the crown that now
Breaks into bloom upon your brow,
Ny soul cried loudly cut TO you
Across the oceans yearing blue,
While unrclnembered and aiar,
= / watched you as watched a star
Through darkness stru ggling into blue,
And loved you better than you know
used to dream in all those years
OF patient faith and silent tears,
That Lore'- strong hand would dtaw aside
The barrier of place and pride.
Would reach the pathless darkness through,
And draw me safely up % YOU.
But that is pa,t.-if you saoold stray
Beside INV grave some future day,
Pcraaps the ylo.ets DER my dust
Will half bctrly their buried trust.
And say. their blue eyes flied with dew,
She loved you better than you knew.
You did not see tn. bitter trace
or anguish sweep across my face;
You did not hear my proad heart beat,
Heavy and slow beneath your feet
You thought OF triumphs still unwon,
0i glorious d'eds yet und0ne
And the while YOU talked 90 me,
watched the gulls float lonesemcly,
TIL lost amid The hraveEly OGe,
And loved you better than you knew.
You walk thn sunny side Of fate,
The wise w d smil and calls you great;
The golden frutaxr OF success
Drops at your feet In plentcousncss,
And You haze blessings manifold,
Honor and fame. and power and gold,
They build wall detwccu US twain,
which may not b, thrown down again.
Alas for the long years through.
Have loved you better than You knew
