There are about forty different spe cies nf Mparmwt* in the Uuited States, notcountlnf the Knglish sparrow, that little Ilobdieviirt 'from over the ooeau, who should not be ineutioued iu tbe same breath with the hard working aud law-abiding little chaps, that, are scat tered over the length ami breadth of the land, busily engaged in making a living for tlKnntfelvea aud fainilie*. The Krassbopper sparrow ia one of the least known of them all, but it ia not because hia ia not a numerous family, or be cause hi* dlstrflbiqtion ia limited, but simply for the reason that be doea not thrust himself ou one's notice. He is (perfectly willing to spend hia days foraging arouud in the grasa iu soma lonely oljd Held, remote from man aud -his civilized -ways, > Some Hparrows lumirf^barayaTda, doorstops, gardens and public roads, but this retiring little fel low cares for none of these places and K'"ts as far away from travele<l highways a* possible. His idea of the best place for a home is in dry fields, clearings, or deserted pasture lunds. And any of these, to be ideal, inu^t 'have .plenty of scrubby undergrowth, tall grass, and con venient briar patches for hiding. If you vliouUl happen up on one of them in the. open, ns .soon as he finds that he i>. becoming an object of attention, he tfcts nervous, and dives into the nearest cover, before you have had time to look for the marking's that distinguish him from his numerous cousins.

From "A Idttle Book of Friends" by Harriet Prescott SpofTonL Shrewd Fox. Mr. Morgan, in Ills book on the beaver gives the following Instance on what he assures us is excellent au thority: "A fox one night entered the henhouse of.n farmer, and after de stroying a large number of fowls, gorged himself to such repletion that he could not pass out through the small aperture by which he had en tered. The proprietor found him in the morning sprawled out upon the floor apparently dead from surfeit; and taking him by the legs carried him out unsuspectingly, and for some dis tance to tbe side of bis house, where ho dropped hi in upon the grass. No sooner did Reynard find himself frt*e than be sprang to his feet and xnads his escane." ? 3. J. Holmes. a quick eyi? t*? see enough of him to decide whether really a graaahop Imt sparrow, or oue of the thirty-nine other varieties. Hut when he give* voice to the ouly aoug he know*, ail <Wubt iH'tt ^identity vanishes aw i t <*an haft ly be taken for tluU of any oth^r bird. U run f<'tiivrl.v !><? cal lod a Ming, but it ia the noise he makes when ?cou tented aud happy. m? with him, it i? the name gs ainging. It ia a low biuaing aouud, more like the droning of an insect than the voice of ? bird. It remifida one of the nee-e-frc-e <rf a grasshopper, hidden in the hay, when the aim ahinea good and hut . a 1 1 < I w hen the heat wave* quiver over the sandy road. It is fivm ithe funded resemblance of ^is voice to thait of a grasshopper, that be is called a grasshopper sparrow, ami not because he livev on graatihop pera, as Home MU|kpo*e. The only time that t>hia uuobstruaive tdrd ever tries to attract attention, in when tj?e mother bird. has been frightened from her neat in the grass. Hhe will not leave it until you are almost on her, ttieu she quietly slips off ami flutter# atoug t1*e ground, with dragging wings, as if ?he had been hurt- tplaiuly her way of draw ing attention to hemefcf and away from the newt. Finding the proverbial needle in tho haystack, ia eaay compared with finding her neat, oven when you- know it' must iIh* very near, The only way to di?cover it, ia to stxw? awl pay no attention to the action** of the crafty little moher, and at ithe same (time try and decide on the exact spot from which ahe seemed to start, x^and then go over every inch of ground 4a -that vicinity. I KVeu then, you are lucky in your quest, j if you finally auoeeed, as she is a witch when it eomee to hiding things. The nest ia constructed of gram that ia ex actly like all 'the withered grass around, 11 ami it is not an vxpen cup holding the clear white, dimly mottled eggs, but is a loosely built affair, looking, for all the world, like- a bunch of grass that tlnv/wind had gathered. The entrance is on the side, and completely concealed from above by' the grassy thatch. The mother never flies directly to the nest, even when bringing food to the babies, ! but invariably alights Several feet away,' and uses an almost imperceptible path leading ito 'the ^loor. She is so small, and her feet touch the (ground sp lightly that the path is about as hard to find as the nest itself. Insects form the chief ifood of this shy little creature,, and it is one of the smallest of the sparrows, being only about four and a half inches in length. Tit is found in the esatern states and in the British provinces, and along about October it goes south for the winter. While it is not a raw bird it is so easily over looked 'that it is ?setfhun seen, and its thin wiry Voice is often ? mistaken for thnt of an insect, so it is small wonder that rso few of us have the pleasure of its acquaintance. ?
