ODE TO BLONDIN .
(Intended to be Executed an a Single String.)
IIY Josarii BARBER.
llail l capering climax ofall mad buifoons,
Rival of ring-tailed monkeys and baboons,
l’urblind cavorter I
flow, with that awful cataract in thine eye,
Canst thou dance hornpipes where the swallows fly ‘3
And. quite indifferent about “getting high,”
Tipple “blue ruin" yonder in the sky,
And “nothing shorter.”
My head doth swim, O Blondin, when 1 think
How thine would cleave the boiling surge and sink,
If those legs blundered.
Beneath thy two feet—of which have a care——
There are, I calculate of‘yielding air,
At least two hundred.
Ten thousand eyes with wild, excited glance
Watch, from below, thy atmospheric dance—
’Tis a tip-top scene.
But, ab, beware ! lest like theatre-play,
This interlude between the sky and spray
End with a drop-scene
Hoist no more bottles. that clay-molstening trick
Might in thy hut, perchance, produce a “brick,”
A real brain stumper.
And then, 0 tippler, downward wouldst thou go,
To take from these strong waters here below
'lby final bumper.
Look to thy pole, which but a needle seems,
Where you white line uthwart the chasm glenms,
The blue air threading.
Steady—0 wonder of the blppodroinc—
For know these rocks where plumy breakers comb,
Don’t break a folk-though feathered wall with foam,
Like feather bedding.
When in Kentucky’s one that scan’t-o’-wit,
Prentice, explored, for greens, a coal~black pit,
Some people said, who don’t appreciate "grit,”
“Nance" s ntentis.”
While others swore the springald was a “1103‘”
But thou, O Blondin ! art of fools the boss,
Me a mere ’prentice.
’\
Thou dost propose, my man of ropes, I hear
(That is, should anybody volunteer)
A man to trundle our the rapids here,
On a wheel-barrow.
Now, who speaks lii‘st, who answers this appeal,
Who’ll risk his bones being broken on. the what,
In case the whole concern should over keel,
From causeway uni-row.
Spread it abroad, another fool’s required-
A fool of fools, superlative all-fired,
To make‘the team up.
Sum Patch is dead, but then oi‘course there’s Wise,
Will he not dare this deed of high cmprise ?
No ; with thee, Thane of Thickheads, no man vies,
So give thy scheme up.

Ralph, the Brickmaker‘e Boy.
BY ALICE CARY.
The ground of the brickyard is burning and bare ;
By the hedgerow are plenty of shady spots,
But Ralph, when he gets a white apron to wear,
Plays in the mortar and shapes it to pots.
That is his mother’s house over the bill,
With the pitcher of pinks in the window, so sweet ; C
And Ralph is her darling, and sets at his will, .
In'lhe soft bricks, the prints of his bare little feet.
Poor soul l—shc is homely and wrinkled and old,
And work is her portion ; but what does she care
For herself, since no neighbor has need to be told
That her darling has beauty enough, and to spare !
Low down on the limbs of the prickly sweet-brie!"
Are handfuls of roses, out still he will push
His cheek through the thorns for the one red as fire
That grows out of reach, at the top of the bush.
Sometimes the old brickmaker, sunburnt and bent,
Will tug him about on his shoulders awhile,
Whereat growing restless instead of content,
He scarcely repays the good man with a smile.
‘He makes of a stray piece of cedar a shelf.
Sometimes, where he sets up his pots in the sun,
And then, growing vexed with his work or himself,
He breaks them and tramples down every one.
From the time when the locust puts on the white mass
Of his odorous fumes, till in summer’s decay,
His bright yellow jacket he tilrows on the grass
And braves the bleak Wind—he is busy each day.
know it is allin his own willful way,
Yet sigh,“ I see him a working L0 hard,
His hands and bi: apron so heavy with clay
He scarcely can toddle about in the yard.
My heart often says to me, whereforegmploy
Your thoughts in a fashion so pitiful P then,
Reflecting, I see in the brickmaker’s boy
A type of the work and the wisdom of men.

The Little Birds.
We take the liberty of publishing the
following, although written in delicate
lines and marked
“Pawns” z—Mr. (Senior) Entrou.——As .
you are so very “busy away up there to Hart-
ford” making laws, (very few of Wll'ch are
enforced) will you permit one of leisure to
call your attention to an articlein the Home-
stead of' June 23d, entitled “ What shall be
done for the birds”-nnd in addition beg you
to publish it in your paper ! Already the
“loafers” are in the field. I have heard sev-
eral guns tc-duy making me wish, they—
tho said loafers—were all at “ Balleyback,”
(am not very positive as to the orthography
of the aforesaid word, but have no doubts as
to its expressiveness.) It is said there is no
resisting a woman’s tears—so Mr. Editor you
will please imagine your correspondent cry-
ing whenevera bird is killed. It is a "Jtfllf'
ncss to which I plead guilty. Four years of
invalid life, have endeared them beyond pow-
er of expression. I don’t care 'much for my
fellow beings—only just a fem—the friends
of adversity : but the birds, I love than.
Won’t you publish the article ?
Very respectfully. L. H. F.
What Shall be Done for the Birds '?
The present is a time of special temp-
tation and weakness, on the part of both
birds and men. There are your beau ti-
fnl cherries, y r luscious strawberries,
your ruby curr ts, charming to your eye
and as charming to the birds. The birds
were a theft or some other nnpardouable
crime. The indictment against them
would probably run thus: “‘Whefrens
Cock Robin and his Indy-love and sun dry
birdlings of his household, with divers
other birds, as accessories to the act, did
on the twentieth of J unit, 1859, .make a
forcible irruption into my garden, and
there with malice prepeusc ands afore-
thought, pounce upon my cherries, straw-
berries and currents, and destutoy the
same, to my great annoyance arid dam
age, the said CockIRobin, with 'ull that
appertains to him,

are tempted to pluck them, and you are ,
' tempted to kill them for the act, as rf' It
is condemned to sum”
the birds are vagnbonds and idlcrs, 'hav-l
no right by virtue of their services, to the
fruits that they cat—that they are vu'tu-
ally thieves, and deserve death. There
is a very great ignorance upon the hub-
to frequent the farm, and to accompa-
ny the labors of man. The value of their
services is not understood, or the indict-
ment would run against the wretches who
destroy them. The very great impor-
tancc of this subject will apologlzo for
our repeated allusion to it. .It needs to
be kept before the people, until the con-
viction is settled in the public mind, that
the birds are the cnltivators’ best friends.
We have no doubt that a prominent cause
of the increasing difficulty of raising fruits
among us is the destruction of birds,wlnch
are the chosen instruments of Provtdence
to keep in check the insect tribes. The
older States have increased in population
particularly in the cities and villages and
with it idleness and vice. There is now
quite a numerous class, who consider it.
disgraceful to work, and hold it to be re-
spectable to make a business pf amuse-
ment. They glory in a dog and gun, In
a brandy flask and shot pouch, the lead
killing one way and the brandy the other.
These well dressed loafers are to be found
in almost all our large towns, or in their
suburbs, and it is a favorite pastime With
them all to kill birds. Those whosejn-
tcrcsts are damaged by the destruction
of' the birds, do not fully understand their
value, an'd'intti'pose‘no obstacle to the
blood-thirsty sport of these heroic adven-
turers. Every orchard, grove and thick-'
ct, within easy rc‘ach, is thinned of its
warblcrs, every year, and as the birds de-
crease, insects of' every kind rapidly mul-
Their depredations 'are seen, at
the roots, and on the leaves of the peach
and apple trees,on the leaves of the pear
and the quince, on the current and rose
bushes, 0n the strawberries and raspbero
ries, and indeed, on everything cultivated
Worms prey upon the grass and corn, in-
sects kill the wheat and rye, sap the vi-
tality of the potato vines, and even dc-
and threaten us with evils as sore as the
plagues of Egvpt. I _
If we would check these ravages, we
must restore to the fields and fruit gar-
dens the birds. The more intelligent cul-
tivaters, horticultural and agi'jicmtnral
societies are now looking in this direction
for a remedy. Something more than a
year since, the Massachusetts Horticul‘
ural Society appointed a cominittee to
investigate the habits of therobin red-
breast, and to determine, if possible his
value as a‘fcllow helper in the garden.—
Prof. Jcnks, the chairman of that com-..
mittee reported the results of a Whole
season’s observations. .
The plan adopted was to procure birds
at three different times of the day, from
both village and conntr , and to preserve!
the contents of their gizzards in ulcho'uol.
Specimens were examined weekly, and
most of the time daily. from-March until-
December, and at several times during
the winter. _. .
The male birds made their appearance
first, early in March, followed byifemnles
The gizzards
of those killed in the morning were almost
entirely empty, or but slightly distended
with well macerated food, while those
killed in the latter part of the day were
as uniformly filled with fresh food. In
the almost daily examination of their giz-
zards, from the first part of March toithe
first of May, not a particle of vegitablc
matter was found in a single bird, insects
in great variety both as to number and
kind, forming-their sole food, a large pic-
portion of which was the bibio larvze, an
insect feeding principally upon the roots
of grass. . . p .
During May the larvae entirely disap-
peared from the gizznrds, being replaced
up to June 2lst by a variety 0 insects
including spiders, caterpillars an beetles
of the family Elolerz'ilce, the p- rents of
the well-known wire-worms so destuctive
to corn and various other seeds. The
earth-worm was found to be aIfavoritc
food for the young robin, but was spar-
ingly used by the adult bird forlits own
use. . .
From June 2lst, strawberries, cherries
and other pulpy fruit were found, usually
intermingled with the insects, leading to
the conclusionthat the fruit was used for
dessart, during the cuervating season of
moulting as it was more easily procured,
than any other food. _
The mixed diet of the robiipcpnt-Inued
from the ripening of strawbcfrlei. and
cherries to October, the vcgitable [101'-
tion consisting, during August and Sop-4
tcmber, mainly of eldcrberrles Md .1101“:-
berries During October the vegitable
diet was discarded, and grasslioppers and
other orthopterous insects supplied its.
place. Early in Norember the robins
mostly migrate to the South. EThe few
which remain exist during the winter up
on bayberries, and upon the common 10-
niper berries. _ . . ..
Our own observations in years past.
and the present season confirm the above
report. In the rearing of thelirst brood.
of robins, which extends through the
month of: May, the diet is confined to in-
sects. Tliis is the period Will. be observ-
ed, when the deprcdations big-insects are
most severely felt when the young tWIgs
are full of” blosoms and tender; leaves.—
You will often see leaves eaten by them
or curled up and blackened by their young
deposited within. It is of great servwc
now, to the fruit grower. toIhaychis trees
full of birds, robius, bluebirds, Sparrows,
wrens etc., which .will take the young,
worms as fast as they. begin to crawl, and
the millcrs and bags as soon as they
emerge from their hiding places. ‘
The number destroyed-by a paif‘of'
breeding birds is almost incredible. .' The
appetites of the young are never satisfied
and there is a constant flight of the. old
birds back and forth from the nest, from
early dawn till sunset. hearing at each
visit a bill full of insects. They grow ve~
ry rapidly under this generous diet, and
it is but. a few days before the young rob,-
ins are all feathered and flown. If undis-
turbed, and food continues plenty, they.
will keep near the nest for along While. .

' .OILD HORSE You’iisiroo“LArr.-_-This is
a great country _for"jokes,'nnd we have
just had one that is too good to' keep.
Early this morningithcrii' wcs'added to
our company of travelers a pair Who look-
ed like runaways , the gentleman was a
tall, "raW-boiiecl“specimen of the “half-
horse-balf-aligator" clii'ss,’ and the Indy 0
fair match for him." Among the passen-
gers from Napoleon, is a solemn , looking
gentleman, who. has all along been taken
for a preacher. -: ’ About nine o'clock last
night I was conversing with the “rev-
erend” gentleman when a young man
stepped up addressing him, remarked,
“ We’re going. to have enabling, and
would likcto have you .Qfiiclqttti’ “All
right, sir,” he feplied, laughingly, and we
stepped into the ladies cabin OWhen, sure
lenough, the couple stood.waiting.
There had been some “ kissing games"
and several mock marriages gone through
with during the evening. and I supposed
this was merely a continuation of the
sport; and so thought the “preacher,”
who, I saw, had a good deal of humor in
him, and was inclined‘to'prom'o‘te general
good feeling ah‘d'merrimenti The couple
stood nip before him, (a gooddeal more
solemn. than was necessary in a mock mar-
riage, I thought‘and the “ preacher” ask-
ed the necessary questions, and then pro-
ceeding in the usual Way, pronounced
them “ husband and wife.” There was a
good deal of fun afterwards, and when it
was over I left the cabin—and so did the
“ preacher,” who remarked to me that he
liked to see young folks enjoying them.
selves, and took a good deal of pleasure
in contributing 'to their fan ; but he did
not understand why they should select
him" to act the preacher.
Just then some one called me aside, and
the old gentleman stepped into his state
room next to mine. When I returned
the door stood open, and the “ preacher”
Istood just inside, with his coat and vest
011' and one boot in his hand, talking- with
the gentleman who played the “attend-
ant” and who, as I came up remarked,
“Well, if that is the case it is a
joke, for they are in dead earnest, and
have retired totlieist‘ate-room." The old
gentleman .‘rnised. both hishands as he
exclaimed :f :Good Heavens 1 you don’t
tell me so l” and rushing just as he was,
boot in hand, to the ”stateroom indicated
commenced ii‘n‘assault' on the door as if
he would b‘u‘t'tcr'it down, exclaimed at
each lick': ‘.‘ FOL-Heaven’s sake don’t, I
ain’t sprocket l’I’II'Tho whole cabin was
aroused, every state-room door flying open
with a. slam, when the door opened, and
the “ Arkansas traveler,” poking out his
:head, coolly remarked, “ Old boss you’re
too-late.”
