Little, we take this acoount of the Florida birds: Most persona imagine Florida to be really n flowery land, and that the whole country blooms with beauty and resounds with Bong. The description will apply only to spots; there is much of gloomy desolation, many swamps, many large sundy tracts coverod with pine forests, many regions burdened with the most intolerable bruahwood. And yet flowers do grow abundantly, and with the slightest care can be cultivated to the fullest luxuriance. Nowhere will labor be so woll rewarded, and nowhere can so much beauty be created if man will toil. When Adam was employed in Taradiso we are informed that he gave names to all the animals, bat I am sure that it was Eve who named the birds and flowers. Every class of both can bo found in Florida, and Eorne tyo peculiar to tho soil and climate. You have, of course, the wild fowl in abund ance dueks and geese, swans and cranes, sea-gulls and gannets suiliciont in some places and at certain times to hide or at least cloud tho sun. You have the wild turkey in plenty, and also that other turkey which proved too much for Prince Achille Marat, who was a first-rate cook as well as a good hunter, and boasted that he had cooked and eaten, ana that he liked, every kind of bird except one: "Zut was de turkoy-boozard. I have tried him cook every way, and I dj not like him, no matter how he is cook." The paroquet is found in flocks, and some times in cages. It is a beautiful bird when seen dashing about among the green leaves and bright blossoms, with its brilliant plum age glistening in tho nun; and it is also very good in a pie. But from its masio may we be delivered; it sounds worse than a yoang beginner practicing Italian operas on an un tuned piano. A cageful of paroipio.ts is a comical sight; they are perpetually quarrel ing, cursing and swearing at a gmat rate, then making up in the most affectionate manner, and then commencing to quarrel again. The only way to keep them quiet i to cook them. The beautiful red-bird is much sought after. I met a party of Germans regularly eug iged in trapping them: they were shipped to Eu rope to exchange for canaries. Mocking birds are abundant and trouble some in summer. They are very fond of grnpes, a I way h tokiTif t.lieir winn in pills, and there is in ana about nt. an extensive grape Augustine quite culture, which readers it a very the season of ripening. popular place in Many invalids go there to nso the grape-enra for consumption or dyspepsia daring that season, and the mocking-birds are formidable rivals to the invalids. Probably they employ the grapes as a preventive. All the thin skinned, delicate kinds are great favorites of theirs, and it is precisely these kinds that are most cultivated. The birds disapprove of the Scuppernong, and discourage- its cultiva tion, because the skin is so tough that they cannot penetrate it, and the people accommodate themselves to the fancy of the birds. However, they remonstrate by shoot ing them: and one old fellew with no masio in bis soul informed me that he had killed nearly three hundred of these singing nuis ances the preceding summer. Of coarse, the birds try to pay for their grapes by masio, but this kind of coiu is not considered cur rent in St. Augustine, and such notes as they make are deemed worse than counterfeit among the grape-growers. The bird is, how ever, considered rather a dissi pated character, and sets a bad exarnple to the young people. I have always thought that a young man who can king well is in great danger of falling into bad company, and is likely to acquire wild habits; and this bird is a case in point. He forages about, singing in his neighbor's vine yard while he robs him, until the berries of the I'ride-of-China tree are ripe, and then ha proceeds to have a regular frolio, acquires a habit of intoxication and gets as drunk as a lord. It is curious to see a Hock of these birds at this time. They become perfectly tipsy, and fly round in the most comical manner, hic coughing and staggering just like men, mix ing up all sorts of songs, and interrupting each other in the most impudent manner, without any regard to the politeness and de corum that usually mark the intercourse of all well-bred society, whether of birds or men. They will fly about promiscuously, in trude on douiestio relations, forget the way home, and get into each other's nests and families, just like the lords of creation. After the berries are all gone and the yearly frolic is over, they look very penitent, make many good resolutions, join tho tem perance society, and never indulge again until the next season comes round and the berries are ripe once more. I do not think that naturalists have noticed this peculiarity, and I have the honor of call ing their attention to my interesting contri bution to natural history. I believe that this habit is peculiar to birds that sing, just as wine and song go together among men. It is only Another proof that wine is a mocker. Pro bably the great power of this Bongster was first Belf.diseovered in this manner: some clever bird found out the secret of song by getting very boozy on berties, and set the example1 to his fellows. Home featnerel Bacckus ia doubtless still remembered in the groves as the firtt introducer of music an1 wine. And I doubt not that if we could com prehend their language we should And that the birds fitill chant bis praises in a joyful chorus, regularly transmitted from ge.uer'.ioa to generation. Why should not bird hv.-a their traditions, and hand down in soug the history of their race? Their cbroniclbi gro probably more veracious than our own. t There are many other birds: the varieties are too numerous even to mention. The reader may exercise bis own imiginatUn, leaving cut or-ly the snow-bird and the cottier, The large brown curlew is a very ploasant bird oa the table. He is as large as a yonng chicken and very shy. The sportsman watches on the shore in the evening as the birds fly horn b ward, digs a hole in the sand, lies down in it and waits for a shot. He sometimes, however, catches rheumatism as well as birds, and then is very apt to for swear a cmlow diet. There is also a large white crane, five feet in height and with a tremendous sweep of wing strong enaugh, too, to break a man's arm if he should attempt to seize tho birJ when wounded. The only part euten is tho breast, which cor responds in muscular development with his powerful wing. Kill the bird, skin it with one knife and cut out the flesh with an other; you cunnot distinguish tho taste from venison. Two knives are used because of the disagreeable fishy odor and tasto which lie in the oily skin. But tho most useful thing that flies in tho Florida woods is the humming-bird. In the summer and among the tho flowers it looks like a floating pom of the most exquis ite jeweller's work. Nothing can exceed its beauty, and no one can describe it.

From Ealph Keeler's "Confessions of a Patent Mcdicino Man" we make this ex tract: My corn-salve was mado of potash and gum-arabic. It would do its. work in five minutes, but of course it mude the foot out rageously sore afterward. Ihis was a matter of very little inconvenience to me, became my business required me to be moving con tinually from placo to place. I always man aged to get out of town on the flood tide of my reputation as an effective chiropodist. It will be easily believed that I did not as quire my skill and self-reliance as an operator all at once. My corn-salve grew in my conil dence from tho feet it fed on. You think that is a queer expression? You cannot, then, be aware of the corrosive nature of potash. Well, sir, experience and special knowledge are everything in one's business. I will confess thai 1 was nervous before my first patient. The salve bad never been tried, and a friend told me I had better not try it. But my subject was a good one, and rather an nutmaly, too, in life. I think you hardly ever heard before of a poor shoemaker with corns. That describes my first patient. I mustered up courage at last, and flourished an old razor at him with quite a professional air for a youth of sixteen. Tho job was not as neat a one as 1 learned to do afterward, but still it gave temporary satisfaction; and I sold that shoemaker two boxes of the salve. And thus I went about over a wido extent of territory, leaving I know not what number of sore feet behind me. I have no better idea how much mwre podal distress I might have worked on a credulous community, had it not been for an accident which, at tho end of a couple of years, overtook me in my career. I had left a great quantity of my salve and lozenges stowed away in a town which I was then making my headquarters. They were carefully packed, I remember, in neat paper boxes. On my return, after an unusually long trip, I found that the infernal potash had eaten up tho paper boxes, and, making its devouring way to my cough-lozenges, had involved my whole stock in one agglomerate mass of rain. Out of my temporary despair, however, sprang a lucky inspiration. You have doubt less beard much of tho happy elasticity of youth. There is, l grant, something avail able in that, but I found something a great deal better for my business in the rapid growth and physical changes of that period of my life. The fact is, I bad grown and altered so in appearance since I bad first started out with my corn-salve, that at the time of this appalling accident no one of my first patients would have recognized me from a mere surgical acquaintance of two years before.' I may say here, in fact, that these repeated changes in my physical ap pearance, aided by the cropping of my hair, or the abandoning of it to excessive length, and at last by the coming of my beard, were, all through my early experiences, of untold advantage to me. Thus, in the course of time, I became personally acquainted with all tho people who could be duped in a given region of country, and with' every new project or nostrum I returned unrea ognized to them over and over again. Now out of the potashes of the agglom erate ruin of my entire stock in trade sprang, Phoenix-like, a lucky inspiration, as I hava before said, without the present indifTorunt joke, which is altogether accidental. Whilo contemplating my irretrievable loss I con ceived the idea of a patent pain-killer, which I would go about selling to cure the sores left by my corn-salve. As a general thing, money, or, I should say, the want of it, gets tho immortal work out of first-class brains. I read the substance of that remark in a newspsper; or was it a magazine? It doesn't matter; I believe it, and I verified it in the production of that pain-killer; that's enough. Well, air, the project worked to a charm. 1 com menced operations, of course, in almost tho exact traces of my former chiropodal exploits. It was not long, therefore, till I came upon my first patient, the shoemaker. I began cautiously to extol the stomachic virtues of my medicine, and gradually led up to its ex ternal application. It was goad, I assured hiai, for bruises, sprains still keeping my eye stealthily on his, from under my hat, to cutcn any faint gleam of recognition uruisss, eprains, wound, sores ''On the fet r asked he, interrupting me in my catalogue oi positive cures. "Certainly; better for the feet than for anything else. "Well, I have sore feet, and that's the fact," said the uhoemoker. "You see there was a rogne of a fellow around here a oouplo of years ago curing corns, and he made my feet so If I ever catch the villain I'll use a strap ou bim; that's what I'll do. ' I now felt sure, I need scarcely add, that my former patient cud not recognize me, aud so 1 sold mm two bottles or pain-killer to enre the sores I had made two years before. It was not, perbaps, n remarkable fact that my pain-killer went faster than my pain maker, the corn-salve. I did a thriving busi ness in this bo thriving, indeed, that I gradually caught up, as I may Ray, with tho intervening time between the sale of the lat ter and former articles. That is, my earlier traces became bo recent that my disguise crew perilous. But there was such a de mand for the pain-killer that I went on, not withstanding the danger. One day, however, I encouutered a sturdy young fellow upon whose feet I had operated not very long be fore. In his eagerness for relief he was in the act of purchasing it at my hands, when, suddenly recognizing me, .he changed his mine and gave me a sotd1 thrashing instead. That put an end to the pain-killer business. 1 returned considerably bruised to my heat- quarters, and set all my energies to work on the invention of something less porilous to others as well as myself. I may say here that I always kept tho little town which I have called my headquarters open to me as an asy lum, by leaving it and its immediate neigh borhood free from all my medical and surgi cal experiments. The result of my arduous creative thought culminated this time in a paste to make old razor strops new. It pro fessed co do its rejuvenating work by a simple application; yet it did not sell very well. From the very na ture of things I did not have the credulous woman half of the world to work upon; thoy had little or no interest in superannuated razor-strops. It was this consideration more than any other, l think, which inspired me with the brilliant afterthought of changing the name of my paste into that of a heihng salve. Thus the same article became at once endowed with universal curative virtues, and became also the professed desideratum of all human nature. I suppose it would not be modest in me to Bay that my salve was too good for its original purpose. It is at least true that, if it failed upon razor-strops, it succeeded admirably upon mankind. You will hardly believe me when I tell you, but Bull it is also true, that, by means of an in cipient beard and my hair grown long, and of a broad-brimmed slouch hat, as a disguise, I Bold a box of my celebrated healing Balve to that same innocent shoemaker who has al ready twice figured as my customer. Owing to my pain-killer, or the recuperative nature of his healthy frame, his feet were about well; and I am glad to add that there was nothing in my healing salve that would materially prevent his ultimate recovery.
