THE THRUSH.

Peculiar Imitativeness of This Teathercd
Songster-Wonderful Mimicry.
1 remember distinctly hearing a
thusher often repeating in its madcap
song some notes new to my ear, which
could not be ascribed to any Michigan
bird of my acquaintance. After
patiently waiting for some time in the
glazing sun of a bright June day 1
heard the notes SO plainly that I was
thoroughly convinced they were an
imitation of the song of a southern
bird-the schuck-will's widow" so
called, a species allied to our whip
poor-will, and named-it is our familiar
northern representative of the family
from the words so plainly uttered.
This thrush learned, then, the notes of
the chuckwill's widow at leastfive hum
dred, and probably quite a
thousand miles from Michi-
gan, and yet reproduced them
SO distinctly that one could easily
distinguish them, and from mere de-
scriptions in books at onco tell the
name Of the bird initiated.
Here, mounting TO the top of Rts
tallest tree near its nest, it pours ft~Sh
e~cstatic melody, executing the most
difficult strains with the same ease that
it delivers the simplest news. All

Gus, harmonious strait. frequently of
an hours duration. What wonderful
mimicry what a contrast to the best
attempts of ventriloquists and imita-'
tors travelling through the country to

the sounds and notes uttered by birds
and mammals.-Dr. Gibb, in Forest

Majesty selects the simplest, and

Of language is used by the Royal

they would not presume to attempt to

is more due to filial respect than the
awe of majesty. The King rinses his
mouth and wipes his hands over a
golden bowl, and then he rises and the
meal is served to the Princes. On
leaving them it goes to the courtiers,
and lastly the royal farrashes pick the
bones, and literally lick the platters
