near his window for nearly q month. and at

Its song. This friend soon made the discov-
cry that the bird was a prisoner to its nest.
A ladder was brought and the bird and nest
We're taken down and examined. One leg Of
the little sufferer had become ensnarled in
the wool with which the nest was lined, and

taking efforts with sharp instruments that
the limb was loosed from the snarl. This
done the spectators were surprised to see
birdie ny away. apparently as well as
though never tied to a nearby apple tree.
The birds parents or some other Of his
feathered friends had kept 1t supplied with
food during its Imprisonment.
