A " w-- BY HENRY WARD 'BEECHER, real country, far from mrifical adom-| meuts, and in the midst of scenes that for ages have felt but little of the hand of oisn. - Even one' diy "in the country is 'good. Bat not till yo ' tle' down, and cut the strings that ae "tothe cingohs shove out its cares, and rid yourself of its excitements, can you feel the genuine comfort and happiness of being in the country. Now you bave come to stay. The heaven arches over you with peculiar welcome. The clouds cluster along the horizon, or- disperse and go' a sailing brough the great aerial deep, as if to get up for you a celebration * You are adopt- ed--a child at home, The great circle of bills gird you about, and all that dwells within its sphere greets you. Ia early morning comes the wild chant of birds that pour out their thanksgiving long before the great multitude of citizens are awake. There is but one hearty bird chorus in the day, and that is between four and five in the morning. All the rest of the day is ere practising --solos, duets, etc. 1 note the annual increase of birds upon wy hill--shrubbery and sinall fruits draw them hither. Oaly cals molest them, and they do it only "on the sly." Each year some new specimen appears, or some bird, familiar in near groves betakes himself to my trees. I have to announce to all my friends, that I now have wood thrushes of my own, and am not obliged to borrow of Mr. Dayton ,Kiitiedge or Lyman Beecher Carbert. They can come snd hear mj thrushes when theirs give out, and 'take it in pay for the music which I have hitherto stolen from their birds. Yes--in my trees, thrushes build, and sing aud rear their young. 'That means a good deal. Wood thrushes are shy, but not solitary. They demand security ; tLey will not be roused rudely. A robin may be chased with as much iwpunity as a house fly. It does not disgust bim. He comes back.-- In cherry time you canuot drive them away. If you come close to the tree they merely get bigher, or skulk behind the leaves ; or if you pelt. them they fly but a rod or two, bold their tongues, aud the moment you turn your back (hey fy( again into the tree. Robins have 'no delicacy, no tender sensibilities that keep them back in the word. But their cousins, the wood tlirushes, are sen.ative and retiring. They shrink from observation. No com pliment can be greater to a dwelling than 10 have wood thrushes adopt it, aud build in its 'mew trees, and siog their bits of melody right over your head. Colleges give many diplomas not deserved, Nature is the only university that can confer a diplema worth having, and that conveys no false praises Wher old Oxford' gave to Lowell re | Mason his degree of musical doctor, she | dia well enough. If he could not sing himself Lie certainly, caused others to sing. Now I cannot sing like a wood thrush, and be koows it; but I can listens 1 can praise aud publish bis doings,:and 1 can make Lis choir sacred, For this Le be- stows on me my invisible diploma. It is a diplodia u'tered, not wristen. All sum- mer_long he calls me L. B.--Lover of Birds. 'There is bonor for 'you! What are your Dexters, your Longfellows, your Joe Elliotts, to me? My racecourse is the whoie heaven above, my coursers are their races are the rush of notes.

The weatber was very cold, and the fellow begged so bard that the landlord yielded on condition that he would keep perfectly quiet. After supper be took bis seat by the fire, with bis elbows on his kaees and his head in bis bands. -- In this position he sat for an* hour, adbering to the promise to * keep quiet,' Among the preachers was the Presiding Elder of the Sparta district--a sedate, dignified old gentleman -- listening * atten-- tively to the spouting of a conceited, selt. important, young preacher, whom the elder had never met before. "I'he dendy preacher paced the floor, twirling his gold. headed cane, boasting of what be could do, when the elder asked him, ¢ Brother, are you married ?'

'? -------- " One Mr. Patrick F---- was annoy~ ed exceedingly by a strange dog--as .Coleriuge says, * a harmless dog'-- who in- vaded his JUomicile, made abstractions froin his cellar, and was very much in the way of Mr, Patrick F. in the kiichen. On a cold winter night, the wind cutting like a knife, and snow frozen so as 10 burn like carbonic acid gas frozen, after the dog had been turned out doors no less than three times, and the last time re-|, quested-to go toa warmer place uomen-- tionable, Patrick was again awakened by the noise of a rather extensive fracture of glass. The dog was in the house again. Patrick waited upon bim out and both were absent some fifteen minutes; so that Mrs. Datrick Fe, becoming surprised, if nof alarmed at such a pro- longed absence arose end went to the window, From ber point of observation, she saw in the clear mooonligii, ber lord standing in naturalitus,' barring the shirt, and the wind waking free with thal, as of course it would, at the nurtheast cornet of the house. 'Ihe dog seemed to be sustained on his * last legs," his fore legs forming two sides of an acute iriangle.
