Dor appropriating choice specimens of his
feathery tribe and making off with them.

remain on their accustomed perch and was

Every stone wall has two sides, and so has
every subject. The man who looks at but
one side of the wall can have no right con-
ceptiOn of its strength and durability, nor of
the skill of the workmen who erected it, and
the man who looks at but ore side of a sub
iect, as most men do, is but poorly qualified
to render a justdecision. Selishness is the
controlling principle in most men, and they
refuse to look at any side of a question or ell
terrain any thought or suggestion that is not
calculated to better their Interests, There is
but very little hunting after truth for truths
sake, and yet in no other way can the truth
be so readily and easily obtained.
