The Skylark's Song.

In the winter the slxylark of England
does not sing; but in early days of
spring the great fiocks of these birds
break up. and then go in pairs to look
fer places to build their nests and rear
their young ones. And then the charm
ing song of the skyiark is heard in all
its sweetness. While the mother bird
is breeding over her eggs to warm them
her mate often rises into the air, and
then with quivering wings mounts YER
tically upward SO far that he looks like
a mere speck in the sky, and all the
time pouring forth his rich and beauti-
full song, but at last ceases his song be-
fore descending again to the nest.-St.
Mich las.
