CENSORSHIP of opinion is at all times and

thing to be defed, resisted and defeated by every

else again.
Honest persons can have only sympathy for every
honest and intelligent effort to check the dssemlna-

attitude imply agreement or even sympathy with
every effort to promulgate any given set OF truthful
facts One may honestly believe the world or any
part of its people would be better off for not know
ing some facts. No one, however, can honestly be-
leve that any good purpose is served by the pro-
mitigation Of untruth.
Yet that is precisely what is going on, unchecked,

great numbers of books issued by reputable pub

the Gallumpus has his habitat and pursues his prey,
knows that the two outer stripes diverge from the

while these outer stripes to the observing eye, are
not peagreen in any real sense, but color some

>T>lS pleasant here to be herding calves

For the beetles tune is trailed across
The winds in the mountain passes;
And the crickets sing when the day Is done,
AS they do be singing nightly,
On hills that seem like the hearth OF the sun
While the clouds are flaming brightly.
But wish the heifers were brave and strong
And they in the valleys clover,
And to be going off to the fields
With the tea and the crows and Rover;
For all the cows on the grass in the glen
Are out on their own resources,
And l would be listening once again
To the voices of men with horses.

Let Blackbirds Be Black.

For it is through pictures chiefly and through
the printed word very slightly that those who get
their nature lore from books acquire whatever they
get. The author has fairly free hand; if he is not
sure of fact he MAY omit it. His description Of
an animal or bird may 60 no farther than the
most salient points, but tho artist must picture the
whole of his subject. The author may focus all Of
his rhetoric upon the peacock gorgeous tail, but
the artist must no more draw tail without pea
cock than he would peacock without tail.
II is easier to describe than to paint the puppies
and greens that make the plumage of the Eastern
blackbird one of the most beautiful things in
nature. But what city child who does not know the
blackbird can get true impression Of it if the
printer lies by mixing too much purple green in
his inksq / saw such picture not long ago; it
represented a blackbird as it might have looked
after bathing in pot of violet ink!
