The favorite residential section is low shrubby field.
 Hidden away the last of May among bushes, grapevines and bittersweet, the nest contains eggs by the first of June. Minot said: "The nest is in low bush, shrub or sapEng and is either built in a fork or other wise secured, but is never pensile."
 The eggs are generally white with red brown purplish spots and spatters some. times flowing into each other in a circle about the head of the egg or scattered, and thicker at the greater end. It nests from Ohio and New Jersey northward to Mani toba and New Brunswick.

The story is an old one, of the two knights who fought over whether certain shield was blue or red, when the truth was that it was blue On one side and red on the other.

 that satisfies and refreshes, pain which is delightful, a grief that is dearer than happi- ness, a sorrow that is truest joy.
 In the bosom of night is day, and death is the doorway of life.
 Only wisdom and experience bring us to realize the truth in these contradictions only the sufferer and the sage comprehend them.
 Truth is double.faced. The truth shall save you. Also it is not untruth but truth that destroys you. It all depends upon how you are adjusted to it.
 It is not one set of laws that ripen an apple and another set that rot it; it is the l same laws.
 It is not one will of nature that makes ! us mature and another that causes us to l decay it is the same will. Truth is sharp sword, but I may take | it by the blade or by the handle; in one case I am cut, in the other am served.
 Just as fire in the stove is cheer, and a horror in the burning city; just as water in the glass refreshes, but is a cruel mon ster to the shipwrecked; So every principle of moral conservation becomes, in certain circumstances, a fail of moral ruin. ] It is because true love is so beautiful that | lieentiousness is so terrible. I It is the glory of honor that is the hell I fire of dishonor.
 It is the whiteness of humility that casts so black a shadow upon egotism.
 Scientists tell us there is no such thing as cold. it is only absence of heat. | So there is no such thing as vileneSs, sin, bestiality, deVilishness for these are but the other side of goodness and truth, which seen | from the wayward west are scorpions and deyouring flames, while from the east they are white and gracious angels. | Hell is anywhere outside of heaven.
