FEEDING THE BIRDs-A LEssoN.-From

present time, says the Warrentoa Indcx. one
OF Tho thoughtful I1atrops Of cur town has reg.
ularly scattered tho cruu b. from her table 10

scores OF different kinds of winter birds CT joy

At first no approached cautiously, rs if aware
that his feather was under the ban of people
for depredatious On fields Of c,rn. But after
an unmolesied experience of several weeks BIO
grew SO irustfui as tn cat bread from the hands
CT little children. Bat still more remarkable
is this: A few days ago that crow brought With
him TO the premises lamo crow. Tho last
c lmer sat 90 the gaId,n feac, and caWed alarm.
Ills guido fitted beside him and after bowling to
him and quictiDg bis tesrJ induced him to trust
hiusclf in tho garden walk. There the guide
strobe cor Gden.ly towards the rcpast AID the
lsno crow mped after him. Whoa the latter
Jagged, tho former would turn and siure him Of
hcspltablo treatment. His pantomims was as
eloquent ts speech, aud quito as effective.
Presently boih reached the spread aud or joycd

daily visits with all tho sauoiness of Black

fellow the good NATION added: IF tirds are
thus careful to share with each other what is
providentally plt cad at tho disposal of ono of
its feather in this pnching weather, how much
more careful man should be TO use tho stores of
which he is steward for the relief Of his fellow
man"
