AN EARLY MORNING CONCERT.

What beautiful strains are those
which fall upon my ear? Are they the
voices of angels, or the music that
Apollo produces upon the sWeet-toned
Tyre wrought by Hermes? They are as
enchanting as the song Of the sirens
that lured the mariners to their fate.
All, now as I wake from my semi
dreamy state, [ divine the cause of the
mystery. I see on the other side of the
screen door that opens on the balcony
an oriole with golden plun1Age, which
has come from the adjacent forest and
appropriated the railing for his ros-
trum, unmindful Of my proximity, -
offer his morning hymn to the creator.
Now his mates are approaching and
j the solo is lost in a score Of harmonious
voices. What is more lovely and en-
trancing than concert of sweet and
peculiar voiced orioles at dawn? The
morning sun, as it casts its roseate glow
over the forest, forms suitable set
ting for the joyful birds and their song,
producing a picture L shall not soon
forget. Sing on, sweet birds, sing on;
it is a joy to my soul. But too soon they
return to their forest home.
