THE COCKS CROW.


The cock crows-lt is his nature to
crow but the midnight crow is very
different sound from the crew at day
break; the crow which is sent as .
challenge to . rival is not like that of
the victor after the battle the crow at
high noon or in the afternoon of sui
try dog day is a. maugre as the wealth
er, and is q fitting expression Of deli
clous lazlness but after quieting dis
turbance among the inmates of the
poultry yard, the shrill crow Of success
in quelling an insurrectien is lively
and spirited exclamation of an honest
and Legitimate pride.
"When the cock goes Growing 70 bed,
He viii rise with . Watery head"
may be good for nothing ss meteor
illogical maxim, but in the science of
nstural sounds 1t is good for something
IS it is very diverse expression from
the morning Growing upon his own
coop. The frequent growing during
the forenoon is the vocal outburst Of
high animal vigor-the typicas crow
and is totally unlike the Growing given
in q new yard or in an unfrequented
place. Some animal, dog or cat, rat
or weasel, may enter the yard and
frighten the hens; the cock goes for
the intruder, and if successful in driv-
ing him of, he crows, and this crew.
ing is an entirely Independent sound
from either of the others mentioned.
II he has been unwell for day or two,
among the first signs of returning
health is the convalescent crow.
The growing after q sudden and
great surprise or fright is simply
grand beyond description, and doub-
ly needs to be heard to be compre-
hended in its glory or appreciated in
its magnificent intenations. On the
afternoon of the 2Sth of June, 1875,
there was q thunder storm and lightn-
ing struck not q great distance frem
the writer. During the storm, he was
sitting at the window watching its
progress; the fowls had gathered un-
der the crib for shelter, and were en-
gagged in pluming their feathers;
when the lightning struck, the thun-
der was an explosion, sudden, short,
and very loud; the fowls were terri
bly, frightened, and ran in different
directions; the cock ran about two
rods, stopped short, looked around,
and crosced. 1t was legitimate, nat
ural crow, into which he threw all his
physical and mental being. 1t was an
unusual circumstance the nature Of
the case demanded an unusual crow,
and the demand was met. The show
er was oyer, and calling the hens to-
gether they went feraging in the orch

The moon was full above;
He took her darling hand in his,
The trembling little dove,
And pressed it to his fervent lips,
And softly told his love.
About her waist he placed his arm;
He called her all his own;
His heart, he said, it ever beat
For her. and her alone;
And he was happier than king
Upon . golden throne.
