Natures Lore Making.

The wooing of birds is most refined and
graceful Love tunes their respective pipes,
and they seek to captivate their mates by
their sweetest notes and most varied war
blings.
The wood pigeon charms his lady love by
a series of aerial evolutions and curious
tapping of his strong wing feathers, putting
his breast and tenderly cooling.
At mating time the plumage of male
birds is more handsome than any other Pc
riod indeed some birds assume different
colors in the spring.
yellow hammers charm their mates by
displaying their tail feathers in the form of
a fan; starllings chatter in the sunshine to
show the metallic beauty of their breast
feathers, and swallows circle and double in
graceful flight before their lady loves.
Bright shells, flowers, feathers and grasses
are laid by the bower-bird at the entrance
of his partners retreat; and the tiny hum
ming birds WOO most assidnously, showing
OFF their lovely bues and engage 10 fierce
combat with possible rival even bring
ing nectar from choice flowers for the de-
lectation Of their fairy brides.
Hen birds exhibit all the vagaries OF
their sex, aud pretend to be indifferent to
the exerton of their admirers.
Frogs have an original way of love max
ing, aud as soon as evening shades fall
commence to croak loudly to their mates.
sometimes great numbers of them combin-
ing in one unmusical chorus.
Courting among insects is often very
elaborate affair A male spider will ap-
proach a female and amuse her for some
time with his autics. II is said that he
twirls around and around, crosses his legs,
erecls his body and executes sort Of mary
dance to excite her admiration.
She is very vicious lady, and not al
ways pleased with his love making some
times he finds himself obliged TO ward her
off. for she has painful mode Of showing
her dispIeasure, and il she entirely disap-
proves of his attentions will fall upon him
aud rend him in pieces.
One species of the spider is said to have
novel way of making love, the sexes COM
municating by means of strands OF web
stretching from one retreat TO the other-a
sort of telephone so to speak.
Glow worms, according to some natural
lists, use their luminaries a. love signals
The females of one species seat themselves
amongst the grass, while the males, attract
ed by the light, dance attendance around
them.
Concerning fishes = the sticklebacks oc-
casionally resort to harsh treatment,
attacking the females with open mouths
aud erected spines. As husbands their
behavior is certainly eccentric, for after the
female has deposited her eggs within tho
nest that he has prepared for her, her lord
aud master drives her away and proceeds
TO hatch them himself.

COBWEBS.

No longer fairies hold their sway
Yet tiny hammocks swing
From waving summer bOughs to-day
And TO the grasses cling
Soft beaded wells of woven mist,
Where elves were won't to hold their tryst.
The busy little gnome who spreads
Unseen these dainty things
Can mingle with his fragile threads
No hope Of future wings
Unlike the rival worm who spins
His silken shroud and heaven wins.
Nature has weavcrs who possess
Beauty and power of song
The spider in his humble dress
Is silent under wrong.
And with his webs the vireos dare
To make their pendent nests more fair
Yet still uudaunted by his fate
He hangs this shimmering lace
On awkward wall or clumsy gate,
With matchless skill and grace
But ceaseleSs foes his fabrics rend
Titania's weaver has no friend.
