party numbered 200 white men
and about 500 Iadians. In the gar

BIRD NESTING.

A French paper, earnestly deprecat-
ing bird nesting, says: "a birds nest
contains on an average five eggs, which
would, in the natural course, become
five little birds. Each little one eats
daily fifty flies or other insects, and the
consumption extends over four or five
weeks. Taking it, an average of thirty
DAYS, we shall find the number of flies
consumed by each nest of birds to be
300. Now, every fly eats daily a
quantity Of flowers, leaves, etc, equiva-
lent to its weight, until it attains It's
maximum of growth; in thirty days it
will have eaten flower which would
have become fruit. Each fly, (the term
is used, we suppose, for insects general
| lly) then having, we win say, eaten
thirty days, the 1900 flies which a
nest Of birds would have consumed
causes loss to us Of 225, 900 apples
and pears. We commend this view d

A MoRrGAGE.

In the whole range Of sacred and
proiane literature, perhaps there Is
nothing recorded which has the staying
qualities of COOL healthy mortgage.
A mortgage can be depended on TO stiess
closer than brother. 1t has a mission
to perform which never lets up. Day
after day it is right there, nor does the
sliehtcst tendency to slumber impair
its yigor IN the night. Night and day,
on the Sabbath, and at holiday times,
without moments time for rest and
recreation, the biting offspring of Its
existence, interest, goes on. The sea
sons may chance, days run into weeks,
weeks into months, and months may be
swallowed up into the gray man Of adj
vanced years, bat that mortgage stands
up in sleepless vigilance, within the IN
tercst, perennial stream running care
leSsly on. Like huge nightmare eat
ing out the sleep of some restless slun
berer, the unpaid mortgaea rears up it
gaunt front in perpetual torment to ths
miserable wight who is he'll within il
pitiless clutch. 1t holds the poor vic
