some years ago, TO observe the feeding of

alighted upon the small veranda OF the
sparrow house with four living canker-
worms In his beak Then the four young
ones put out their heads, with the custom

cess that | watched 1T for some time and
during the following days.
A fact which | have not seen noticed
here In the extensive sparrow literature is
that for a number of years sparrows
begin to build nests of dry grass and hay
at the tops of high trees. The first saw
were large irregular balls placed on the
tripod of twigs. The entrance was ON the
inner side near the lower end of the balls.
Last year | observed another form of the
nests A strong rope formed of grass, as
thick as mans wrist and as long as the
forearm, is fastened only with the upper
end to strong branches at the tops of the
high trees. The ropes end has a rather
large ovoid shape with the entrance to the
inside near the end. Of such nests | saw
last winter about dozen on the elm here
in Main street, near the college grounds,
and similar ones In Putnam avenue and
other streets. A long pole near my house
strongly covered by a vine (celestrus scan
dens) had such nest for three years, used
every year.
In the sparrow houses around my lodg-
ing the sparrows stay throughout the
winter; commonly one male and three fe-
males In every house, till in spring the
superhuous females are turned out

Rather a touching illustration of the
mockery of human charity occurred a few
afternoons since, during the convention at
the Broadway Tabernacle, says the New
York Sun. 1t was a cold and clustering
day, and the solons of the church, as well
as the directors of the missionary societies,
who disburse large sums of money in
various quarters of the EARTH had been in
council all the afternoon. As they filed
out in the street they were snug and
healthy looking lot of men. Crouching
along by the railing which surrounds the
church, where the clergymen were almost
obeliged to brush against her TO pass by,
was a woman of perhaps thirty years nurs-
ing an infant at her breast.
She had scarcely enough clothes on for
decency sake, and her face was pinched
with hunger and privation. The child
looked sickely. The wind blew her scant
drapery around her and her shawl was
wound around the child to keep it warm.
The clergymen passed by to man; not
one stopped to say a word nor to bestow a
penny upon the unfortunate woman, and
long after the church was locked she con-
tinued to sit there, until the police sent

Scarlet the Sacred Color.

In Italy, Turkey, Greece, Asia Minor,
Egypt, and many of the oriental countries
the archaic images of the deities were
painted red; and it has been said that the
traditional practice was intended to please
1.-THE color sense, s." by which it meant that
these images were regarded as pretty gew-
gaws. This is not likely, and the true ex-
PLANTATION is that the color of red was sacred.
All pristine creeds can, with probability,
be traced ultimately to two origins They
are, in different DISCUSSES, the worship of
the sun and the worship of humanity,
Red became therefore an exceptionally
odious color when the ascetic temper gain
ed possession of religion. The author of
The Wisdom of Solomon" betrays a pro-
found antipathy to the color in the fol-
lowing: ''Or make it like some wild beast,
laying it over with vermillion, and with
paint coloring it red, and covering every
spot therein The coloring was plainly
offensive to him, and he describes in an
other place the voluputary as crying:
Let US crown ourselves with rosebuds
before they are withered.' Afterward a
fresh association was added, and scarlet
typifed not only the sins of Babylon, but
their punishment also
