CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE.

The song of the sparrow heard some daNs ago became so deadened by the soft snow of Saturday which hushed the footfall and stiled eager anticipa- tory beatings of the heart. that it's en- caura ging note was almost forgotten Forsetfulness begets doubt; doubt fathers disbelief and the latter breeds cynicism.
 But there was no doubt, disbelief nor cyncism in the hearts of persons who passed certain great elm tree on West Main street Sunday morning about 9 o'clock. Such true believers before advancing in response to church bells, paused and gazed up ward wonderingly at first, then with souls so filled with thanksgiving that their later devotions were unusually hea rty. and espied- the cause of their inspiration.
 Perched on an upper limb of the great tree sat a chubby, cheerful robin, and from his throat came the delightful soug. easily interpreted by those who sNmpathized and casting into outer darkness the skeptics who discredited the word of the poor little sparrow.
 'I bring the Sprinstime sunshine"
 sang the robin in the tree; "Iou ridiculcd the sparrow-please
 don't ridicuIc me-"
