London Spectator.
No sooner could he toddlc, after leaving
the nest, than he began to attempt various
short excursions about the premises, recon
noitering the ground, and endeavoring to
repeat his name Jerry" which he was
sedulou>ly taught at feeding hours. No
need, however, to dwell upon his pupil
age, neither will space permit to produce
all the anecdotes which his life supplied
in such abundance. Suffice it 10 say, at
the commencement, that he was paragon
Of intelligence among birds. His palate
was nowise dainty, q tallow-candle being
as much relished as slice of butter the
only preference, for they were both stolen,
being given TO that which was more aCCes-
sible. And in order to gam access to any
kind of food upon which he set his affcc
tions, his heavy beak was driven through
a window. so enabling him to carry off an
apple, a cake or a candle. There was in
him strange taste for stimulants, but
how acquired l cannot satisfactorily ex-
plain-certanly not hereditary. Cowslip
wine was his fayorite beverage, and he
might have imbbed the habit of tippling
by slipping the drops left in wine glass,
to which he had often access, and which
was occasionally maued by his sledge-
hammer of a beak after he had drained the
dregs. Upon trial found him willing and
able to drink off glass of cowslip wine at
a draught. This had its due effect. He
was excited. tapped about the yard cry
ing out loudly Jerry What, Jerry All,
Jerry! All, rogue"
Such an exhibition encouraged me to
give little more. To wineglassful of
his favorite drink was added large table
spoonful of rum. As usual he drank 1t
of without hesitation and walked away.
At first l was afraid the stmulant had
done him HARM his manner was so quiet
and his voice 50 subdued, so little appear
ance, indeed, was there of excitement. But
only wait awhile, and what change. He
commenced in moment most furious
raid upon the poultry.
He leaped upon the backs Of ducks and
hammered their heads with his beak most
numerically; then pursued the hens,
catching them by their tail-feathers.
which were twitched out, and holding old
chanticleer by his fine arched plumes, to
his great CONSERVATION, till he made him
scream as if he were about to be killed.
The last act of this drama was, that he
most determinedly set upon a drake-per-
haps in spiteful remembrance of some
past grievance-as if resolved to destroy
poor quack. But this vindctive prowess
was overcome by the power of stimulants
within. In the midst Of the fray, Jerry"
slipped, and fell helpless on his back into
a channel. He was d. ad drunk. gathered
him up, slowed him away in his usual
roosting- place, where he slept for several
hours, and then sgain appeared on the
scene of action, quiet but none the worse
for his spree.
