Why fiaunt the flowers in hues so gay.

And point toward my breaking heart?

The Lark,s Nest.

lHarpers Young People
Some years ago, one of the porters en-
ployed at a small station near Darmstadt
observed pair of larks building their nest
in an angle in the middle of a railway
where two rails crossed. He did not disturb
them. The nest was finished, and soon after
four eggs were laid in it. Then the Matching
began. BY this time, the attention of all
the people employed about the station had
been turned 10 the nest. 1t seemed to them
such wonderful thing that they resolved 10
do all in their power TO protect its owners
and it. Meantime, the birds themselves
seemed to have very clear ideas as to the
dangers that threatened them. 1t was
pretty to see how the hen bird, which was
sitting on the eggs would duck her head
down when train passed, and then look up
cheerfully when the danger was over.
In the course of time three young ones APP
peared. One day, after taey were big
enough to move about little, one of them
hoped out of the nest and seated itself on
the rail. At that moment train was seen
approaching The parent bird called and
coaxed in vain. The thoughtless little crea-
tuTe remained obstinatelv sitting on its dam
gerous perch. Its destruction seemed inev-
liable. Just as the train came up, the
mother bird flew up from the nest, seized it
by the tuft on its head, and threw it over
the line, ducking down again itself until the
danger was past. The lark first friend, the
porter who had noticed the whole proceed
ing, now resolved to remove the nest, with
all its living contents, from its perilous po-
stiCn. He took it out carefully, and de-
posted il in a neighboring clover field. The
old birds followed him step by step, uttering
shrill cries of anxiety, which changed to a
loud trill of JOY and, one might almost say,
gratitude, when they saw the comfortable
spot in which their kind friend had put
their nest. Could human beings have acted
differently"
