Tho Skylark.

About the first OF May 1880, Seventy.
four English Skylarks were let loose near
Ridgewood, New Jersey, by MIR. Hales.
Fifty otthem kept together in close flock.
The rest scattered. They did not mount
up and sing at the first taste OF freedom,
but devoted their attention to their physical
wants. The buzzing insects, tho enticing
worms and the tender young growing grain
were tidbits too appetlziug to be resisted,
and for few days there was strict atten-
uon to business.
Would tho larks sing2 That was the
question Of great interest. A note from,

"Aftcr few days enjoyment Of the
sweets of liberty the birds set about

eggs have gone safely through the process
Of incubation, and the young larks, real
American born skylarks, have appeared.
There is no question that tho youngsters
will take care OF themselves, and barring
acclden common to all birdlings, reach
maturity.
