GRATITUDE OF A eLAckelRD
Absolute Authenticity of This Story
Not Vouched For.

NOT Nouched For,
We are unable to guarantee the alb
solute authenticity of the following
story; but as truth Is often stranger
than fiction, We leave it to our dis.
eliminating readers to settle the point
as to which category it belongs. A
well-known charitable gentleman,
who was in the habit of taking a
constitutional every norning, saw
on one Of his rambles a half-frozen
hlackbird lying on tie snow. He
picked i; up and took it home, where,
with care and proper food, it became
a general pet; and its kind master,
finding It very teachable, got it to
learn a popular song, which, by dint
of practice, it was able to whistle
from beginning to end without fault.
With the return of the gpring, our
friend set it at liberty, as he could
not find II in his heart to detain it in
captivity any longer. A year passed,
and in the following spring the phil
antnropist was awakened on morning
by certain harmonious tones which
proceeded from n tree opposite his
bedroom window. It was the song he
had taught the blackbird now rem
dered by four voices. The grateful
bird had, during the winter, taught
three of its comrades to sing the pop
ular air and now performed It as a
quartet for the delectaton OF its ben.

lame of the farm where grown. EX-

braces a compendium OF grand and

mention original sayings as racy Of the
soil as the pumpkins themselves.
