The House-W Wren.

That delightful singer, the merry house
wren, 80 delicate in form, 80 CHEEKY in bis
ways, 80 lively, 80 fearless. 30 sweet and joy
GUS in his song, ls fast friend Of mankind,
seeking from preference, to build near ". 1t
Is social little creature, often building
within range of eye and hand, and almost
chea'ing one into the fancy that his sole OBJ
ject is to sing for the amusement of his
neighbors. lie will begin in 2 delightful
strain close to window, perched on . how
ering shrub rerchance, or swinging TO and
fro on waving spray Of some creeping vine,
and sing half an hour away withous inter-
ruption. No oIe can hear one Of his Joyous
bursts of song without being convinced that
the wren sings withplre pleasure, out Of the
fulless Of his happy little heart. The birds
sing to us nothing but truth. In this sense,
their songs are pure as hymns. There IL no
leaven OF evil IN their music. And they
clearly delight m their gift Of song. 1t is
said that, on some happy occasion, when
Jenny Lind had been SURPRISING herself at a
charity concert, she exclaimed, joyously, "Es
list doch schon dass ich 10 singen kann -
t'ls ii not charming that / can sang 20 ny.
And if we understood the language OF the
wren, We might perhaps discover the same
feeling Of happy wonder at his own perform
ance. His summer life seems to be more
than half song. He will sing in the warm
est noontide hours, when other birds are 81
lent. He will sing ON cloudy days, when
other birds are moplng. But perhaps his
choicest, most gleesofne, most musical melo-
dy is sung after q shower, from the head Of
some tall weed, aud beneath the rainbow.
lie sings for the pleasure of his wife. He
sings for the instruction and entertainment
of his numerous little family. Sometimes
one sees him flying toward his nest With
very eager, busy look, as il occupied with
some affair OF vast Importance in another
moment he is out again, perched on the same
twig where you have often seen him singing
as ii music was his only object in life. New.
ertheless, he is anything buta idle creature,
a regular busybody in fact, a great builder
of nests, very kind husband, and an excel
lent father to his comicai little children, who
cluster together full OF fun and play, but
rather helpless, and who are watched BY their
parents and fed by them long after they have
lett the nest. And, happily tor 10, through
all his family cares be sings away msrrliy
and sweetly beneath our window, ever gen.
erous with his music.-APpteton's Journal
