The days of many good men are probably short- ened by changes for which their nat- ures and habits are not prepared. Yet the desire for change is constant and natural, and many a city man longs as anxiously for the quiet and rural home as the farmer does for the supposed comforts and attractions of the city. Perhaps both are liable to disappointment. through no fault of either city or country but because hu- man nature, while it. is always longing for change. is not always ready to accmnadate itself to the change.

An ofier to purchase all that could be procur- ed soon resulted in the discovery of several fine specimens, all of which fell into the hands of Isadore G. St. Hilaire, the French naturalist.
