The warm. bright days of this
week harbiDger the coming of the
season of flowers, and with the mild
sunny weather have come the black
birds whose notes from the evergreen
tree top greet their old enemy the
small boy with gun. We do hope

ought to be taken from him till he
knows enough not to shoot the spring
birds, will he restrained from COM
hitting murder on the feathered
songsters. The English sparrow is

Is Jonah myth? Nay verify
Jonah is q disturber. We meet with
him in the midst of the sea, stirring
up the elements, the winds and the
waves, flashing them to fury. He
sickens the whale which proposes to
make meal Of him and the great

find Jonah as active for mischief as
eyer in the churches with vigor un-
impaired. He has invaded our
quiet little Methodist sanctuary and
raised Cain. Who says Jonah is
myth has not made his acquaintance.
A lusty disturber is this same
Jonah; worse than progressive
euchre.
