A Girl Charm er OF Birds.

There lives near Harrisburg, Ohio,
very remarkable child only five years
old, who seems to haze the power to
charm birds at will. Her mother first
noticed this strange fascination that the
child possesses about year ago. The
little girl was out playing in the door
yard among beyy of snow birds, and
when she spoke to them they would
come and light upon her, twittering
with glee. On taking them in her
hands and stroking them, the birds, in
stead OF trying to get away from their
fair captor, seemed to be highly pleased,
aud when let loose would fly away q
short distance and Immediately return
to the child again. She took several OF
them into the house to show her mother,
who, thinking she might hurt them, put
them out Of doors, but no sooner was
the door opened than the birds few into
the room again. lit upon the glrls
kead, and began to chirp. The birds
remained about the premises all winter,
Aying to the little girl whenever the
door was opened. The parents OF the
child became alarmed, believing that
this strange power was an ii! omen, aud
that the much-dreaded visitor, Death,
was about TO visit their home. But
death did not come, and during the last
summer the child has had many pet
birds. The child handles the birds so
gently that a humming-bird; once in
her her hand does not fail to return.
Last winter bevy of birds kept her
company, and she played with them
for hours at time. Every morning
the birds fly to her window, and leave
only when the sun sinks in the west
The parents Of the little girl are poor
supershtious people, aud have been
reticent about the matter until lately,
fearing that some great calamity was
about TO befall them.
