WALTON ON BIRDS SONGS

His Feathered Friends.

At first the lark, when she means to
rejoice. to cheer herself. and those

and sings as she ascends higher into
the air; and having ended her heaven,
iy employment, grows then mute and
sad, to think she must descend to the
dull earth. which she would not touch
but for necessity. Now do the black
bird and the throssel, with their melo-
dious voices, bid welcome to the cheer
full spring, and in their fixed mouths
MARBLE forth such ditties as no art or
instrument can reach to. Nay. the
smaller birds do the like in their nar-
ticular seasons; as, namely. the
laverock. the titlark. the little linnet
and the honest robin. that loves man.

nightingale. another of my airy crea-
lures, breathes such sweet, loud music

midnight, when the very laborer sleeps

often-the clear airs, the sweet
descants. the natural rising and fall

Should Carry a Tin Whistle.

Capt. Thomas E. Halls, of the Unit
ed States secret service. never learn
ed to whistle. He simply cant puck
er up his lips and make the whist
ling sound, and never could.
One day when he was walking
down a Philadelphia street, we'll
dressed young woman came running
in his direction and said to him:
Kind sir, will you please whistle
at the conductor of that car, So he
will stop the car for me-" :,
Captain Halls dotted his hat and
said: Madam, l am very sorry, but
nature has made it impossible for
me to comply with your request"
The captain says the young woman
stopped, looked him over with an air
Of complete misunderstanding, and
withered him on the spot with a pair
of eyes that flashed all the scorn
that superior being can have for b
mere man.
