Telegraph.) !! Up to emancipation times, or rather j the close of the war, mocking birds | ' were plentiful everywhere in Georgia. | 1 During the years that followed freedom j armed a race to whom guns had been ! forbidden. The negro became an j ' enthusiastic hunter, but he was un- \ skilled and could gratify his craze for j destroying only upon birds that were J nearest at hand. Mocking birds, car-; dinals, joreels, catbirds and thrushes j ' went down as easy conquests before a j' class that had uever been tanght better j ' and bad neither sentiment nor con-1 science. The negro hunters of to-day, I with possibly a few exceptions, are | not wing shots, and they fill their bags with birds that can be killed in the ' trees. It goes without saying that these are the birds that should be ~ ~ Ar?/^ f A OnAlfttTT spaieu l<_/ mv licjua ckiu.1 ?,v/ OUUIVVM My observation has been that few, very few, negroes will pass, gun in hand, anything that has feathers and is large enough to cook; and this is borne out by the fact that the bluejay, the woodpecker and the catbird are ' disappearing from the fields and woods almost as fast as the mocking bird proper. The destruction of the mocking bird j has been more rapid because his nest has been systematically robbed by parties of both colors for private gain or gratification. A year or two since we noted one shipment of these birds from Savannah which contained GOO or 700. upon tiie streets 01 mis ana j all other cities they are openly sold every summer. "When it is remembered that every bug or worm thus cut oil' may represent thousands, the value of the bird's services can be understood. True, he tabes figs and berries, but he earns* them. Most Southern people are familiar with the habits of these birds, but it will be news to many to be told, as in the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," that they go to New England in the summer to breed and return in the fall. Audubon's statement was that some of them "go North," ond this term applied to the migration of birds means with aim i nortnwaru. 111 iviaryiauu ana v u-i ginia the bird can be found in summer, | but be comes southward in the autumn, j I am inclined to think that some pass us and go ,to Florida in very cold weather. I have seen them late in the autumn flying southward high in the air and northward early in the spring. Audubon says that the stay-at-home birds of the family fight these migratory fellows upon their return. Mocking birds can be taught almostJ" anything in the way of tunes. Macdh j used to boast of a bird that^.wfilstled ! "Dixie," and years ago a frenchman j craveieu acout me coutttry piaying airs i upon bis piano which his bird would follow securely. At the Pulaski j ^ifer^fnTSavannah. a negro used to = ?'? keep a bird that would whistle a good alto to tunes bis master whistled. One of the most popular errors concerning the mocking bird is the belief that he has no song of his own: that he adopts and blends only the notes of I other birds into a song. This is purely nonsense. The young mocking birds reared in the garrets of great cities, and beyond the reach of the songs of others," sing as do the natives in their freedom, though not as strongly, since they lack the inspiration of mates, the mellow sunlight and liberty. Their song is, in fact, a number of songs, but entirely original. No man ever heard the divisions of the mocking bird's song in any forest. That he intersperses them with cat call, the hawk's screech, the whirr of the bull bat and j the chicken's melancholy "peep" anci j notes from other birds is true, but I these are only characters in his recitative ballad,features in the romance of bis summers. That he sings his parts backward and forward and combines 1 ai ?~ A rru^ ilium anew ui&u uuc. JLIIC minting bird's song is to the ear what the kaleidoscope is to the eye, and the J combinations of his songs are as 1 endless as the gloes forms in the toy; ! but the song notes are the same. This bird is probably the most con tinuous singer in the world, but there 1 are two weeks out of fifty-two when 1 nothing can tempt him to sing, and that is when he is molting. At that ] time he may be found moping in a 1 secluded spot, lost in rayless melan- ' ciioly. lie looks then hot and sick and the only note he utters is a low, short whistle, not unlike that which the fat ' makes as he removes his hat and mops { his brow. Perhaps during this season the bird lays aside mockery, repents : and makes good resolutions. [ Georgia bos no law to protect her wild singers, whose songs delight and ! astonish the world. Some of our 1 Southern cities have laws to protect * buzzards and enforce them rigidiy. 1 The negro, who by pulling a trigger ( may banish more melody from the J world than human lips can sound, may j do it with impunity, but it costs him 1 So to hit a buzzard with a clod of dirt. 1 i Profits o?

(From itu .Sr. Li/itis lleyv.blkftn.) There is a vast difference between the boy? of to-day and those of iifty year? ago, more especially as regards the things which minister to comfort: and pleasure. The new hoy, even if his parents are only moderately blessed \V 2111 IMS won a S ifOOU~, liu.i u nuiurobo which would have astonished the old boy. Instead 01' the unbind covvhidc boots--ofttner shoe??rough woolen or rougher mi* cap, coarse cotion shirt, coat and pantaloons cu; down from the cast-oil' paternal garments, rarely an overcoat and <til! more rarely any underwear, except the aforesaid I shirt and homemade socks?the new boy has his button shoes, rubber boots, handsome capol sealskin or cloth, neat linen, substantial underclothing, knickerbockers, coat and vest of fashionable cut, with overcoat to match, all bought for him at first hands, and frequently a watch and chain. Think of an old boy with a watch and chain! lie would have been a greater curiosity among his / ninnunii'itK fhilll ? t l'ic.k elOTlh&Ul. From the time the new boy is out ol his cradle he has a full assortment 01 "store toys;" and as he gets oldei money provides him with marbles, tops, kites, bails, bats, knives, wagons, sleds, skates, bycicles and nearly everything else in the shape of play^ things that can be imagined. The old boy, in his infancy, was lucky if he got a silver dollar to cu his teeth on, an improvised ratt < and a rag baby. Toys of largei growth ke manufactured himself "swapped" for, got somehow by "hool or crook," or borrowed or did with out; they were seldom or never bough for him, and Christmas and Sant! Claus never favored him with thei: visitations?while New Year was pro verbiallr stingy and Thanksgiving onb stuffed his stomach. Now and thei he had a few coppers in his pocket but silver was quite beyond his reach a warm slpftnin.cr anarfment in winte he never enjoyed, unless on the sic! list. In a cold room, usual I3' n< bigger than a closet, he crawled be tween ice-cold sheets, and with chat tering teeth saw his breath go out ii white vapor. In the morning he oftei broke the ice for washing-water, hall dressed himself with numb fingers am finished his toilette by the kitchei stove. The new boy has an inlinit variety of literature, prepared cspc cially for him; that of the old boy wa of the ancient Sunday-sohool sort, c which no more need be said to thos who have tried it.

When out "of the mill he was seft work and thought himself well pai with indilierent board and clothe; The genteel idleness of the averag new boy, which so often degenerate in vagabondism, was not tolerate fifty years ago, and, unlike the averag new boy, the old boy had no money t spend until he made it.

The Mexicans educat j them to tend their flocks and herds am j they perform the duty with more fide! ! ity and satisfaction than a man. The; | will take a flock of sheep or herd o goats out in the morning, drive theD to the feeding grounds, defend then from the attack of predatory "var minis" and bring them back to th bedding place at night without losing a single animal. Up in New Mexic< fherc was an isolated ranch, whicl was one of a system controlled by ; wealthy sheepman. lie or one of hi agents usually visited it twice a yea to shear the sheep and take provision to the pastora, or herder. On one o these semi-annual visits he found th herder dead in his cabin and his bod' nearly decomposed. The sheep wer< quiet iy feeding in a fertile canyon nea by, jealously guarded by the "dog.

It is absurd for a young man to deliberately become a drunkard with the ultimate purpose of reforming and becoming an evangelist.
