Theso words of the Prophet seem to have been written as much for Chicago as for Jeruealem; for pewEpaper people as for the chuldren of Isrsel. The compreheusivencss and eternal ftuess of the Bible, its spplicability to tho conditions of beenity in all ages, are proven by the fact that these sentiments of the Inspired writer are re- produced day after a3, in substance, if pot in form, within the precincts of this and other cities, They are used by that class of persons . who beyond ell others sre s torment aud soxstion to editors. There ars many minor grievsoces in _ mowspaper offices. ~Thero s tho man whoso epecialty is to ‘borrow 3 knife, that Lo may eharpen his pencil, and who is slways sharpening pencils, and never writing anything. There is the person who comes in “ith 8 three-columa extract in roference to tom- peraneo, cut from s Eoglish paper, which he Imagiues is just the thing the public is yeaming for. There is the delegation of zealots, who ap- pour Iste at night, with » long sermon, written on both sides, foll of sbbrevistions, where the W™ represents **Christian,” and where #reckon™ is invariably spelt without the *‘k"; and who request its publication, since it isa gaithfcl and fesrless presentment of the trutb, a0d since they all take the TRIDUNE, and would not on any consideration see that valuable ser- mon in any octher paper. There is the man who wnis somebody “written up,” and is ready to give s mass of horribly-libelous information, &0 tbat bis name is not used. There is the private watchman,—a creaturo who appears to feed on eour onions fried in rgncid fat,—who wants to ait very, very closo to one, and then to give s loog and confidential scccunt of the way in which he datected a burglar, and who is anxious that he may be credited with the glory and hoaor there- of, instead of having it given to & regular police- man. These are pests indeed, but grester than thess f5 the person referred to in_the text,—the man who wants a correction. This individual, maa or womsn, is 3 moal monster, & compound of venity, selfishness, impudence, folly, and all unrighteonsness. There is no bealth i bim. Ho is unwholesome snd unsavory, aod yot, With o1l the rebuffe be gets, ho never seems to_be- oome sware of the fact tbat he is a pestilont puisance, with no rights which a paper should Tecrect. i - The man who wants & correction appesrs in his brief grandeur between 10 a. m. and 6 p. m. After that hour the elovator stops, and he baa to dliab up-stairs. Now, no matter how indignant or nompous 8 man may bo on the gronad Hoor, mnch of his indignation or pomposity has dis- sppeared by the time ho has climbed ninety-nina eteps, It takes lum some moments to got his breath, and during (hat interval he is & weak cresture, easily overcome. Indecd, no man can do auything extraordinary after sscending four pair of stairs. 2 o this cresture, aware of this thing, generally comes up in the elevator, and arrives on the upper foor with his wrath’ aod puffiness intact. Y eames marching in with an air of holy indig- Bation on his faco, &nd he says : T want to sce the City Editor 7" Al right, sir.” “ Are vou the parson 7" * Yes." “Very well, sir. I have something to ehow ’o;ixln the fellow pulls eut of his pocket a paper, crumpled from much haodling, grimy from much thumbing, slaps it down on the desk, srd, pointing to an item, §ays : +'Now, I want to know who is responsible for that? That bns done me great injustice, and it must be corrected at once, sir.” Theitemisaverysimpleone. Itistotheeffect that John Smith was brought up before s Folica Justice on the complant of Henry Smith, and was sent to the Bridewell for ~thirty days. Now it 1eads mmflg encugh, aod, sssum- ing that the man calling sttention to it is J. 5., his general appearance does ot at all con- fict with the impression that the Bridewell ia {m tho place for m. For, to tell the truth, bers is always a hang-dog look about the man who comes in search of = correction. It seems asif ha knew he was engaged in & low buainess, axd wea trying to brazen the thing out. *Well, are you Jobn Smith ?” “Yes, [ sm.” “Apything wrong sbout it ?" “Yea, there is. It is false from beginning to @l Iwss not sent to the Bridewell at all. It ‘waa tho other man who was sent, not me.” “Well 2" “Well, sir, you have ruined my character. All my trionds are asking me what that means. Now, who is responsible for that? I want that oarrected.” And then he goes off into a general barangue en pzpers, the law of libel, etc. He demands im~ Poasible things. He complains because reporters are not infallible, a8 if that was Dot something ‘which is reserved to the Pope alone. In a word, hs becomes unplessant in hia language, makes a fuss, and has to be dismissed with the informax tion that departs, g, 8y have refused to receive correction.” Now, fust look st this thing for moment ®ilmly and withont prejudice. Here 18 a person 0f no earthly importance in the world, concern- Ing whose doings or savings the American pub- Licis profoundly indifferent, and yet 8o full of Tanity and egotism is he that he fancies every Chicagoan is eaying, “Great besvens! haa John Emith gone to the Biridowell! What doea that Mesn " Whereas, if all Chicago did know him, instasd of only s dozen men, all Chicago, except bis creditors, would forget him in a day. Bat mark {he selfishness of tho brate. Hera fa3 little paragraph which afforded much inno- ¢ent amusement to the few mcquaintances of John's who read it. They lsughed over it, sad foked Jokin plessantly abous it, but he, envying their simple joy, wants to spoil it all, and, sddition to that, to vex the souls of Some pewspaper peopls who do mot ‘fl‘!whsn:he is, what he ie, or who he is, and ouly mentioned him at all cut of thoir superls~ 1ad condescending good nature. i e i8 8 kpecimen of those mortals who think they ara the centre and pivot of the world, and anything concerning themselves is read by i';"!hody with pm{oun§ interest.

For nearly half an hoor the tiresome creature mmugh apt on insisting that he had not mentioned Mr. Scammon, and that he b:d been grievously wronged, and at any attemp: that was made to explain to him how ungraetul he was, he swore tll he got out of osthie, and theu left, s used-up man, So, in reporting the trial of a certain man, it was stated that he had devoted himself to the cultivation of blue-bottle flies to see if he could not get thom to raise honey for him. Thers was 5o truth in this, but, being reasonably well- written, it increased the sum total of humaa Lappiness, mado peonle laugh. and sitracted attention to ono who had hitherto been, so to speak, an_obscurs worm of the dust ; yor that man, who had really been made by the reporter, turned npon his creator, and cursed bim, there- by becoming guilty of the worst order of blas- phemy. He, too, wanted a correction. It was explained tohim that it would spoil an ex- collent item, but such was his perversity that the argument had no weight whatever witi him. Buch instances of ingratitude on the part of mon are, unfortunately, too common, Timo and sgain, some person who has been fished up from the slime of obscurity on the point of a reporter's pencil, who has bad the mud rubbed off by bim, has been made present- sblo and bas afforded’ pleasure to the public, pops out of the elevator, like & jack in 8 box, and clamors for a correction. ~Ah, the 1m- udence _of some men! How they o display _ther petty vanity and sgelf-conceit! Theotherday, a meeting was held to pasa resolutions_in reforonce to & gentleman who had recently died. In the report of the proceedinil: it was stated that A B eaid the deceased had never been defeated in bhis native county. That afterncon, A B came in, frantic. He protested against such s report, and agaiust being mangled by such an ignorant reporter. That report, said he, was calculated to give people the impression that he simply jnmped up apd eaid the dead man never was defeated in that county, wheress ho had said many more things, which bo went on to repeat, to tho great uneasioess of his hearer. Now, contiued ho, why conld not the reporter have written it that “ among other things™ MMr. A B romarked, etc. And that man, 3 person ot ordinary iotelligence, sctually fancied ho had been wronged. ‘Occasionally there is an exception, and now and then a person will tali and sct in such & manner a8 really 1o show himeelf deserving of a correction. Thus, for 1ustauce, thers came in the other day a young man who said he wished to call attention to a notice of himself which hsd appeared in that morning’s paper. It was s statement to the effect that his wife had begun proceedings against him for s divorce on the ground of continued cruelty and druokenuess. He said that, under ordinary circumstances, ho should not bave taken the liberty of calling attention to this slight mistake, for he was not married and Do one was after & divorce, but the fact was that he was engag to be mar- ried in & couplo of dava to = young lady on the West 8ide, nnd this statement, appearing in such a’ detailed, circumstantial form, bad caused sn unpleasantness between bimself and the young lady and her friends, which bade fair to break off o match on which he had get his beart. Indeed, as he remukcd’ tho brother of that young lady was evon then “lay- ing for him," and be would like to have some- thing toshow that he was not already wedded, He aid not demand any correction, but intimated that it would be = desirable thing to hnve under the circumstances. It being s special case, he was promised a2 small correction, and doparted Lappy, epologizing for the troubie Lo had given. May he nover regrot the granting of his prayer. 1t is one of the curious features of those people that thoy bave all lived in Chicago uwonty years, and that thoy sl say that they’ have got good characters, No matter if they camo bore yesterday direct from Joliet, they all say, with the utmost gravity, **Twenty years in Chicogo, sod & good character.” Thera las been ounly one exception to this; that was & constable, who came in to complain because ho had -been_charged with extorting illegal fees. He started to say that he had o good character, but, immediately after finishing that statement, the absurdity of the proposition struck him, and he_ burst out into furious laughter, and was un- sble to proceed any further in his doclarations. But far worse than the men are those ccca- sionel women who, finding their names in & newspaper, come up in search of a correction. The amount of malignity, of snappishness, and of low meanness which thoy dispiay is aimost incredible. Not loogago it was stated that a certain Mrs, Spivins was in the habit of calling upon persons in _the County Jail, praying over them, and occasionally singing pious songs, which bod o tendency to move them to ropent- snce, and to turn them from their evil ways. About two days sfterwards & woman dressed 1n Dlack, with sbarp eyes and & still sharper nose, plunged into the ofico and proceoded to satate that she was s respecta- ble woman, that sho had been s resdent of the City of Chicago for twenty yoars, and, during sll’ thot tume, nothing hsd ‘been said against her character. Then she took breath, and ber nose, which had previously been poiat- ing directly to beaven, turned downward, go that, had it been protracted, its extremity would Lave struck the ground betwaen hor feot. Her noss, indeed, was endowed with extraordinary flexibil- an arc of 180 degrees. When she wanted to ex- press sarcasm she pointed to heaven with it; when she meaut to be pathetic, she turned it to tho carth. Recovering breath after her first out- break, she said: * You had = lie_about me yes- terday morning. It was all & lie. I do not sig in the County Jauil. I cannmot sing, I havo never boen endowed with the gift of sing- ing.” To these remarks response was vouch- pafed that she ought to be exceedingly grateful to the uowspspr which had endowed her with 80 many excellent qualilies, eveu if ehe did not possess them. Thereupon she repliod: 1 prayed for you when you were shut up in the County Jail, and I intend to go and pray for you when you are thero sgain, which you will “be, pretty soon.” No type of mammoth dimensions could show theamount and intensity of emphasis inthe *you.” Then giving s parting twirl to her nose, which vibrated 8o rapidly that it made one dizzy to look at it, suo_sroso and fled ab- ruptly, before any one had an opportunity to reply to ber. Vow, some oue who has never appealed for s correction may be curious to know how appli- cants are disposed of. The process varies with the individusl. It depends on his size, fierce- ness, etc. Some years ago the colsbrated Busse,—bo of tho South Side and not of the North; Busse of the Sixth Ward, Busse of the brawny arm,—came in_eearch of the man who had written a paragraph intimating that he had gold & fight in which he had recently tuken a prominent part. It is hard to exaggerate the Eingular willingness to accommodate Mr. Buase which was shown by nearly etery one presont. Tho columns of the paper were placed ¢ lus dis- posal. He was assured that he could write any- thing he pleased or bave anything be wanted, and that everybody, collectively and individually, jomntly and severalls, entortmmed the highest opinion of him, snd felt wounded and grieved over that outrageons parsgraph. But luckily there are few Bussos. 3 1f one feels placable, and momenterily averso to controversy, the shortest way is to promise the applicant to insert s correction on the fol- lowiog dsy. Of course, the promise is never kept. At the worat, that postpones the ewl for twenty-four hours, and generally the man never turns up again, having beon arrested by a con- siderate policeman and lugged off to jail, where he has other matters to sitend to than reading the morning pape:s. _This prompt and oppor- fune setion of the police, to whom thanka are here returned, does much to relievo an editor. 1f ono feols good-natured, and focbly confident the individusl will not turn up again, it is cus- tomeary to make a jocose and playful correction. Thus, when A B complains that he was said to havo lseen arrested 13 3 gaming-houso and’ was fined therefor, it is corrected by the statcment tnat it must have been a mistake, since during that evening A B was io close confinement 1n the County Jail. This amuses the public, and gives A B s fresh sensation. In the other cases & poiut-blank refusal is and the man departs disconsolate, after iven, B Sitering something concerning s Libel suit,—a threat which bas lost much of its torrors. But eople only knew the feclings enter- i‘.;é‘:‘&“in’;u% ‘he they would ran 5ad hid ‘their dimiputive heads. 1f they knew the Janguter which follows their dopartare, how the story of their ridiculous domands goes from mouth to mouth, they certainly would nsver go on & similar mission again. —_———— Eiandsome ¥ay.

It must bo confessed tlst England pays her officials very handsomely ; for statesmen, diplo- ‘matists, lawyers, warriors, who have creditably performed the daties intrusted to them, she has places, ponsions, titles of honor.

In a paper recently commueicated to the Liuoman Society of London, it is stated that 160 species of fowering plants inhabit the Island of Bermuda. Not more than 100 of these are without doubt native to the ialand. Seventy- ono of the species are common to the Old World ; while two—an_erylhraea and a spiranthes—are plants which have hitherto been known only in single localities in the United States. —An article in Hardwicke's Science-Gossip, on “The Antenum of Insects," states that tho males of cortain species of moths have either a won- derfully acute faculty of smell, or possess somo sonso not yet determmed by physiologists. In Pproof, cases are cited where the captured females, placed in boxes, and carried in baskets, leather bags, or in the pocket, have attracted males from a long distance. In several instances the male has settled on the person of the entomologist when the box containing the female was no longer in the pocket. It is supposed somesubtlo scent exhaled by the female etill aahered to the garment. —On sunny efternoons, when the wind blows briskly landward, there is » beautiful scene pre- sented along our lake-shore, As the heavy waves come rushing in upon the wooden wall reared to oppose thoir progross, they dash hoadlong agawnst it, and are shivered into atoms by the ahock. Then, as they fall back in rent and jag- ged clouds of spray, for an instant, aeross thewr brokeu surface, there play the lovely colors of Tris. It is o merry time with the sprightly water- nymph, and one can almost fancy he hears her gurglxug lauph as sbe darta up and down, snatch- 1ing at the ragred edges of the mist, and taugling the fringe of her brilliant scarf among thom. As ona lingers, delighted with the frolic, the 6x- uisite vision of Undine is suggested ; and it is eho, and not Ins, who is sporting with the bil- lows; and, if one had oyes to discern spirits, her golden bair, and fair, pale face, would gleam ont through each vapory voil tho waves gracefully fold about ber. —The season has been so unremittingly cold that vegotation is uncommanly backward. The buds on the trees have swollen somewhat under the influence of the epring sunshine, but they dare not yet throw off their covers and unfold their tender blades. Tho enrliost wild-flower have, in some sheltared nooks, peepod above the mold; but their wan, delicate blossoma tremble and shiver in the Arctic winds. Despite these discouraging conditions, 8o long ago as the 14th of February, the Skunk'a Cabbage (Symplo- carpus Fatidus) wes in profuse bloom in South- ern Michigan, It is a coarse, homely plant, with a barbarous pame and s borrid odor; yet anythiog must command our ro- spect that has such wonderful push in it. Think of & herb presuming to venture out of the ground in the midst of & winter month, when icicles and furs are en regle / But it barely thrusts its purple pose above the sod in the most favorable time. It is @ sbarp eye that will discover it nestied close under tho hooded Spathe. The leaves Lavg nothing like the enter- prise of tho flowers, afd do not wake out of their winter's sleep untul tho rest of the vege- taolo world ia sturing. The Skunk's Cablago belongs to the family entitled Aracem, which includes the Indian Turnip, or Jack-in-the-Pul- pit,—a conspicuous plant 1n our woods in May,— tho Sweet Flag, snd the Egypiian Calls. The family numbers nearly S00 species, most of which 1nhabit tropical countries. An serid principle pervades tho order, and in Bome kpecies is doveloped into & dangerons poison. Most notsble of theeb last is the Dumb Cene, & native of tho West Indies and North America, growing to the height of 5 or 6 feet. Ita juice canses the tongue to swell, and destroge the power of speech. Simg]y ingerting the teoth into 2 leaf or stem bias been kpown to produca this effect. The plant would nof flonrish m this climate, snd afilicted husbands need not strive to domesticate it in their gardens. UE BLUE-BIRD. The little bird sits at his duor in the sun, Atilt liko a blossor among tho leaves, And lots his illuminated beiug o’erruu ‘With the deluga of ummer ft Teceives ; s mate foels the ¢gge beneath her winge, And tie heast in Lor dumb breast fiutiers and sings} Ha sings to the wide world, and she to Ler nest 3 In the nice ear of Natury, whick song is the beal? —James Russell Lowell. It is = bleak, clondy day, with alternate squalls of rain and snow. The Blue-Bird sits on & naked twig near by his door, all in & bump with the cold, & perfect picture of chilly misery. His neck is contracted into his shouldors, and he has drawn himself up into s little round bunch, in the vain effort to take himself allin outof the roagh,; bitter blasts that toss and pull apart his feathors maliciously, bent upon reaching his very marrow. Every now and then bhis discomfort finds vent in a low goliloquy, muttered through Ius tight-shut bill. It needs no great knowledge of bird-lore to interpret those pensive under- tones. They are plainly dejected comments on the outlook of things. The moet patient of kings will oocasionally turn when Fate grinds too hard, and ntter a meck protest; and this uato- ward epring, dragging an interminable eucces- sion of biting, snarling days st ite heols, s snongh to break down the spirit of the most he- roic bird. It is no wonder they hava no heart to sing. The prospects are too dreary. Each one, in his turn, sonounced his arrival with & fow gay flourishes on his flute ; but the frosty winds soon nipped his notes short, znd they all have been silent, for the most part, since, But the Blue-Bird hus the advantage over its fellows. Whilo he sits shivering and murmuring out in the cold, be has the warm thought at his heart, that his dear little wife is sitting safe and gecure in their snug, shelterod home. Their neat was built two or three weoks ngo, in the cosy box & loving hand provided for them; snd now the mother is brooding her five pale-blue eggs, and carefully nursing them throngh thoir myato- rious motamorphoses. It was & delight to watch their happine«s while ftting_up their cottage. They came back to us tho 7th of March, and kpew just where to go. There is no doubt but they biad cccupied the ssme box bofore; for 1t hangs on its nal in tho old oak tree just in front of the window, year after year, and ia never with- out tenants in the nesting season. The Blue-Bird i oug of tho firs harbingers of spring. When the winter ia finally breaking up, we confidently look for it. Often its welcomo notes are heard toward the last of Februury, timid, nervous, questioning, as if its faint little heart half-doubted the propriety of 8o early & return. For a month or B0, the biras are apt to have s tongh time of it, struggling with the last Dlustering spasms of old Boreas. They will sometimes dissppear for days during such dis- sgreeable spelle, hiding 1n coverts out of the way of the weather. ** Where have all the Blue-" Birds gone?” asked a plaintive child in oue of these gloomy interims. *‘ Gone back afterstheir overcoats,” replied & wag; and it did not seem an unreasonable suggestion. When the season has advanced beyond the danger of the eggs freezing, as thoy lie uncov- ered during the soveral days on which they are deposited one by one, the Biue-Birds hurry sbout in soarch of a suitablo locality for their habita- tion. Then happy be who comes into posses- sion of & box,—a favorite contrivance for their accommodation. It is easily made. An empty gourd or starch-box will suswer. It should be about s foot and a half in length by half a footin width aod depth, and have s circular apercure large enough to adnit the bird, four ur five inches from the top, and a gimlet-bole in the opposite side, through which "the pail will pass by which it ia'to be suspended. It is well to have the top remavable, for one of the pleasant things in con- pection with the affair ia the fact that you can teke the box down at any time, and, gently lifs- iug off the lid. look in upou tho occupsnts. Tha shy little motber will often permit us to bring her domicile into the house, and remain on her nest whilo the box is passed abont as each ono takes s Banp 8t the pretty spectacls. Her bright eyes will gleam with an aoxious look, and her hesd will swiftly turn at _every movement ; bus sho will keep her seat with s bravery worthy of & Roman matron. 3 1tis a great treat thus to be able to observe the domestic concerns of these attractive neigh- bors, and we acquire an immense intereat in ull theis proceedings. From our window they are jn foll view through the sezson, and it is 1utes esting to mark how loving and assiduous they are in the care of thewr successive housebolds, of which they rear two or thres svary summer.. When the Blue-Bird fnds ns box at ita disposal, it will make its abode in the hollow of 2 decaying troe, a stump, or post, or even in s sheltering nook under the eaves. Tho Blao-bird has no grest reputation s s singer. In fact, it cannot be said to sing at all. It only warbles talk; but this it does with the* most delicions voice, mellow and sweet. Its range of key is slight, imited almost to & mono- tone ; and yet there is such a diversity of inflec- tion that a trained ear can easily understand tha drift of its meaping, I koow instantly when the birds have seltled the great question where they will build, their tones 6o brim over with content. As they hurry to and fro, bunting straws and bairs, and weaving them into their babies’ ciadle, there is an incessant prattlo between them, Question, answer, hint, counsel; it is the tenderest and busiest conversation, for hours together, you ever listened to. Ah! those are haleyon dags,—the sweetest of the birds life. The burdens of matrimony bave not come yet, ouly its delights, and there is not acloud to shadow their sunshine, After the nestlings bave once opened their bills, there is s graver cast in the Blue-Bird's tone,and s weariness often, from the porpetual. though patient, labor of filling hungry monthe. For all tho Bine-Bird seems 80 mild and gen- tle, he knows how to show fight when there is occasion. Ho is not quarrelsome in disposition, and does not meddle with other spacies: but, let ono of his own kind rival him in his claim toa box or o mate, and be ia_ready for the ugliest sort or & battle. I was sitting'ona April after- noon sbsorbed in a book, when there broke into my quict & confused tumult of bird-voices. I was too busy to note it much at first, but for an bhour or two was dimly conscions that the riot continued. At last I dropped the book and ran to see what the strange disturbanco boded. . Thero, nnder the Bue-Bird: box, wora two male birds engaged in & ficrce hand-to-hand contest, while their mates sat on the fence near by, and screamed aod spplauded the best they knew. I watcbed the conflict for a time in utter amazoment. Iuwas savage 28 n dog-fight. Not s moment's cegsation; no drawing off ; no let- ting go; but, beak to beak, and claw to claw, the ugiliets pitched the blows at each other in a riific hurricane. Thers was no sign of the cry, “Hold, enough!” though ome would pin the other to the earth, and rain down the swift, sbarp hits until the foathers flow in every di- rection. They wero too blindly mad to mind my pres- ence, and I ropeatedly came 60 near as to take up both in my hand. Several times I car- ried one into the house, and kept it there awhile. Fear was impotent to subdue its choleric mood, and, the moment it was freed, it I}alunged at its opponent 58 desperate as ever. Up to nightfall the fray contiuued, sud at daybreak wus ro- sumed again. v was well along in the forenoon before eituer of the birds would acknowledge it- sclf whiprod, and then onos summoned its mate sud abandoned the hard-fought field. I have witnessod {requeut combats between Blue-Birds, before and since, but never one anything like 80 furious, A fow vears ago, there was s stern strife over our Blue-Bird bo3, that ended very sadly for its rightful inhabitants. A vagrant House-Wren— the most aggreseive of birds—strotled into the neighborhood oue day, and canght sight of the soug little mansion. It was justto bis tasto, for the Hoose-Wren, like the Blue-Bird, always chooses some hole, or box, or pocket, for its homestead. The Blue-Buda had already fin- ished their nest, and numbered their five o(i‘;i: init. It was to no purpose. The Wren set Iawless heart on the box, and waa determined to bave it. He made rhort of driving out the own- ers, who wera quickly subdned by a bird that ‘wore on every feather the stamp of & tyrant and Tavager. With a torrent of shouta the Wren signaled Ius victory, perching in the door of tho usurped doeling, and pouring out Fosns, in a perfoct fiood-tide, from his swollen sud quivering afr- pires. Then ho fell to rifling tho box of its contents, tearing up the nest, and throwing out the broken shells. For three or four days thero- atter o kept himsclf busy, tugging in the littlo twigs which he uses in building bis nest, until he had vearly filled tho box and obstructed the entrance. And no mate joined him, and he gradually relsxed bis labors, and wandered away to other regions, apparently satisfied with bav- ing wronght a wicked piece of miechief from the pure malice of the tl.u’ng. It is & trick the House-Wren has, of building what are called ** cocl-nes:s,” while its mato is ing over its erga in Bome remota situstion. Meantime the hapless Blue-Birds hovered in the viciity, watching tho movements of their enomy and lamenting their bereavement. Inm ‘absence of the ¥ren, they would baste to the box, and, flitting in and around. wail in the saddest tones over its spoliation. It was really distressing. Their sorrow invested tho- whole place with an atmosphere of melaocholy. It was almost as difficult to be merry with the moans of the little birds piercing one's ears, as if they bad been the crics of human parents weeping over the desolation of & hoasehold. When &t 1ast tho Wren withdrew, there was great rejoic- ing. Tho birds instantly sot to woik repsiring the ruin of their bome, building & new nest on the dobris of the old one. In process of time their hearts were healod by a fresh set of eggs, and there was ogain the sound of weet, coog murmurs, repeating the tale of love's ecstusy. There aro only three specics of Blue-Bird in North America : this, the Sialia Stalis, which is common to the Easstern United States; the Western Blue-Bird, which inhabits the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific: and the Arctic Blue- Bird, which ranges from the Central Phins to the coast washed by the Wostern Bea. Thoy belong to the fsmily called Buxicolidm which is represented chiefly in tho Old World, where it numbers upward of 100 species. The Blue-Bird feeds upon insects. which it seizes on the wing, after the manner of tho Fly-Catchers. 1t will often, however, swoop down and snap s morsel up from th ground.
