The Cat Bird | ! j J his is a very ctuiiitiuii and nuiueruuti j j species in the I nited fSiatoSj and one as I , well known to ail classes ol people as his i favorite biears or blackberry bushes. Jit i spring or autumn, on approaching thickets I of brambles, the first sa.utation you receive 1 • is from the eat bird, and a stranger, uttac- ; •juainttd with his note, would instantly j conclude that some vagrant orphan kitten had got bewildered among the briers and 1 needed assistance, so exactly does tie call 1 1 of the bird resemble the voice of that atti imal. He is unsuspicious and extremely j familiar, t.r whether in the woods wr tit the i garde.:, where he fuqnetitly builds I his nest, he seldom allows you to pass with- > out paying his respects to you in the u.-ua! I way. Ihe nest is composed of dry leaves, t weeds, small twigs, and fine dry glass, lined t with fibrous roots. ihe birds show no ' s great solicitude for conceal men t, though s few -re more interested for the safety of j their nest and young. '1 he eggs are four t or five, of bluish green color. \ The eat bird is ot;e of our earliest song- . t sters, beginning generally before break of; \ day, and hovering from bush to bush with t. great sprightliness, w hen there is scarcely light enough to distinguish him. His notes are more rctuaikable for singularity" than melody. They consist of short imi tations of other birds aud other sounds, but his pipe being rather deficient in clearness and strength of tone, his imitations fail where these are requisite ; yet he is not discouraged, hut seems to study certain passages with great pet severance, uttering them at first low, hut as he succeeds, high er ami more free, no ways embarrassed by the presence ola spectator, even within a few yards of him. (hi attentively listen ing to liiut for some time, you can perceive that he introduces into his performance all the odd sounds and quaint passages he has been able to collect. Upon the whole he merits a place among the most agreeable of our yeueraf performers. Few people in the country respect the cat bird. On the contrary, it is generally the object of dislike, aud the boys of the United States entertain great prejudice and contempt for this bird, its nest and young. The principal cause of this dislike seems to be some similarity of taste and clashiug of interest between the bird and the far mer. The cat bird is fond of large ripe garden strawberries ; so is the farmer, for the good price they bring in market. The cat bird loves the best and richest early cherries; so does the farmer, for they are sometimes the most profitable of his early fruit. The cat bird has a particular par tiality for the finest ripe mellow pears; and these are also particular favorites of the farmer. But the cat bird baa frequently the advantage of the farmer by suatchiug off the Jirst fruits of these delicious pro ductions, and the farmer takes revenge by shooting him down with his gun, as he finds old hats and scare crows are no im pediments in his way to these forbidden fruits, and nothing but this resource can restrain his visits. The boys arc now set to watch the cherry trees with guns; and thus commences a train of predjudices WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1861. j a,,( l antipathies, that commonly continue ! through life. j 'J he cat bird measures nine inches in j length; at a small distance he appears nearly black; but it is of a deep slate color, ! and the tail-coverts are deep red. The fe j male differs little from the male. The Scarlet Tanager Is one of the most beautiful of Auieri i can birds, having a plumage of the richest ! scarlet, with wings of jet black, lie is J spread over the I 'niied States, aud is found i even in Canada, and South America. He rarely approaches the habitations of man, unless perhaps the orchard, where he sometimes builds; or to the cherry trees in search of fruit. There, among the thick foliage of the tallest trees, his simple, and almost monotonous notes of vhiii, chair, repeated at intervals in a pensive tone, may be occasionally heard, which appear : to proceed from a considerable distance, though the bird be immediately above you; a faculty bestowed upon him by the beuefi cent Author of nature, no doubt for his protection, to compensate in a degree for the danger to which his glowing color would often expose him. Resides this usual note, he has, at times, a more musi cal chant. His food consists of large winged insects, such as wasps, hornets, and humble bees, aud also of fruit. His nest 1 is built on the horizontal branch of a tree, sometimes an apple tree, and is but slightly put together; stalks of broken flax, aud dry grass, so thinly woven together, that ! the light is easily perceivable through it, from the repository of his young. His manners are modest, easy, and inoffensive, j He commits no depredations on the prop erty of the husbandman; but rather bene- j, fits hiut by the daily destruction of many j noxious insects; and when winter ap proaches, lie is no plundering dependant, but seeks in a distant country that suste nance which the severity of the season de nies to his industry iu this. He is a strik ing ornament to our rural scenery, and ! none of the meanest of our scenery, and none of the meanest of our rural songsters. ! Such being the true traits of his chrracter, j we shall always with pleasure welcome this beautiful stranger to our orchards, groves, and forests. U lien you approach the nest, the male ' 1 keeps cautiously at a distance, as if fearful , ot being seen; while the female hovers I round in the greatest agitation and dis- I fcress. \\ lien the young leave the nest, ; the male parent takes a most active part in feeding and attending them, and is then alt ogcther indifferent of concealment.. lOMM RELIGIOUS - ■ ■ L The R:ght Scat of Eel gion. M e want a religion that goes info the family, and keeps tiit* husband IVottt beitir spiteful when the dinner is late, and keeps , the dinner front being late—keeps the wife , from fretting when the husband tracks the i liewly washed floor with his nimbly boots, | and makes the husband mindful of the i scraper and floor mat; keeps the mother 1 I patient when the baby is cross, and keeps ; the baby pleasant; amuses the children as ( well as instructs them; wins as well as gov- | erns ; projects the honeymoon into the har vest moon, and makes the happy hours like eastern fig . tree, bearing in its bosom at ) ■ once the beauty of the tender blossom and : the glory of the ripened liuit. We want ; a religion that bears heavily, not on the i 'exceeding sinfulness of sin,' but on the | exceeding rascality of lying and stealing; a religion that banishes small measures from the counters, small baskets front the stalls, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay | frout paper, sand from sugar, chicory front ; coffee, otter from butter, beet juice from 1 vinegar, alum from bread, strychnine "front wine, water from milk cans, and buttons from the contribution box. The religion that is to save the world will not put ull : the big strawberries at the top, and all the bad ones at the bottom. It will not offer more baskets of foreign wines than the vineyards ever produced bottles, and more barrels of Genesee flour than all the wheat fields of New York grow, and all her mills grind. It will not make one-half a pair of shoes of good leather and the other of poor | leather, so that the first shall rebound to j the maker's credit, aud the second to his ; cash. It will not put Jouvin's stamp on Jen kius' kid gloves, nor make Paris bonnets -in the back room of a Boston milliner's shop, nor let a piece of velvet that pro fesses to measure twelve yards come to an untimely end in the tenth, or a spool of sewing silk that vouches for twenty yards ! be nipped iu the bud at fourteen and a half, nor the cotton thread spoof break to the yard stick fifty of the two hundred yards of promise that was given to the eye, nor yard-wide cloth measure less than thirty-six inches from selvage to selvage, nor all wool delaines aud all linen hand kerchief's be amalgamized with clandestine ootton, nor coats made of woolen rags pressed together be sold to the unsuspect ing public for legal broadcloth. It does not put bricks at five dollars a thousand into chimneys it contracted to build of seven dollar materials, nor smuggle white pine floors that have paid for bard, pioe, nor leave yawning cracks in closets where boards ought to join, nor daub ceilings that ought to be smoothly plastered, nor make window blinds of slats that cannot stand the wind, and paint that cannot stand the sun, and fastenings that are to be look ed at but on no account to be touched That religion that is to sanctify the world pays its debts. It does not consider that forty cents returned for one htiudred cents given is according to the gospel, though it may be according to law. It looks upon a man who has failed in trade, and who con tinues to live in luxury, as a thief. It looks upon a man who promises to pay fifty dollars on demand with interest, and who neglects to pay it on or with out interest, as a liar.— CoH<jn-ijutioitnlist. 'Tin: dohh n Rule. — It is said of ail In dian, that when he got into a bad place in a swamp, where the ground was too wet . for safety, he put up a stake to mark the place. Thus lie not only avoided the dan ger himself, but kept others from falling into the same snare. Might not every Christian leant a lesson from this rude son of the forest, not only to guard against his own fal e steps, but as tie prays, 'lead us not into temptation,' to be careful to re move temptation out of his brother's path ? ! Who Began the War. A few of our readers at the South are blaming us for supporting the United : States Government in what they eltarac- 1 terize ' its unholy war upon the South.'— If we know our own hearts we wish to do I justice to all concerned, and we will simply j ask those of our Southern readers who feel aggrieved because we support the Gov ernment, ' who began the war?' This is an important question; and should not be answered except by reference to stubborn facts. We will state a few which cannot be denied. During the Administration of • James Buchanan, the Secretary of War, j John B. Floyd, of Virginia, began the j work of depleting the United States arscn- } uls in the Northern States, and lie trans- ! fcrred from a single arsenal 114,000 mus kets to Southern arsenals. We have this on the authority of a Richmond paper.— I liese t nited States arsenals were seized by the State authorities, and the guns put in the hands oi the State militia, in many instances while the States in question were in the I itioii. Large sums of money were j appropriated to arm those States—and for what purpose? V ill any sane man deny ■ that the object was to use them against j the Fedcr.il Government ? II so let facts j speak for themselves. In t'eiet'i nee to the forts, Joseph Holt, ' of Kentucky, acting Secretary of War, in his letter to Mr. 1 lay tie, of South Carolina, who cauic to demand the retrocession of I'ert Sumter to that State, says on behalf of the Federal Government, 'We areequally i opposed to the coercive policy practiced i by South Carolina, and after reducing tlie pretensions of the Federal Government to ' the lowest standard, we are constrained to ! hold that the United States have at least as much right to be left iu the undisturbed occupation of that which she holds in con travention of the legal title vested in the i Federal Government.' i \\ e believe all will acknowledge that, so 1 < far as the legal title to that fort was con- ! cerned, it was vested in the Federal Gov- : • J eminent. The next fact which brings us to the im mediate puint of war, is found in the corres- j pondence of Beauregard and Major An- ( derson. At 11 o'clock P. M., April 11, the former addressed the latter, inquiring ' the time at which you will evacuate Fort Sumter, and agree in the meantime you will not use your guns against us unless ours shall be employed against you.' Ma jor Anderson replied at 21 o'clock on the morning of April 12th that' I will if pro i vided with the necessary means of traspor- j tation, evacuate Fort Sumter by noon on I the 15th, should I not receive prior to that ! time, controling instructions from my Gov ■ eminent, or additional supplies, and that j L will not in the meantime open my tire I upon your forces, unless compelled to do i so by some hostile act against this Fort or j the flag of my Government.' Who began 1 the attack? Is it not a fact that Gen. Beauregard opened tire upon the Fort in two hours from the date of Anderson's re- ! ply? Who can deny this fact? Certainly no one. How was this attack received by the Government at Montgomery ? Mr. j Davis was not able to answer the call ot the multitude ; but Lis Secretary of War, : Walker, used the following language : ! 'No man,' lie said, ' could tell where the j war now commenced would end; but he would prophecy that the flag which now flaunts the breeze here, would float over the dome of the old Capitol at Washing- j ten before the first of May. Let them try Southern chivalry; and test the extent of Southern resources, and it might float eventually over Faneuil Hall itself.' Secretary Walker says the war was com menced, April 12th, and of course he had reference to the attack on Sumter. lie j furthermore says, and as a high ofscer at the head of the War Department, the intima tion had a marked oflicial significance, that he would prophecy the capture of Wash ington, for certaiuly no one could ever sup- pose that he ever expected to have the Confederate flag float over the Capitol with out firs I driving out the Federal Govern ment, and this could not be done without, carrying the war to that city. Furthermore, if it should ever float over Faneuil Hall it could only be by the subjugation of Boston, to say nothing of any other portion of the North. The proclamation of the President was not issued until three days after the attack on Fort Sumter, and yet in the face I ol such facts as the foregoing, our Southern friends say we are making unholy, wanton warfare upon theui. V o ask them in all candor, if it would not appear upon the face of history oue of the most cowardly things in the world to see a free people j tamely allowing their Government to be driven front place and power without an effort to save it ? Union our only Safety. 1' rout a late number of tlie Cincinnati i Commercial, one of the most ably conduc ted papers in the West, we copy the follow ing concluding remarks of an editorial on tlie importance of unity among the people i of the loyal States itt support of the Gov ! eminent. \Y : e commend it to the notice of our readers, and more especially to those in our midst who have Southern or • secession proclivities.' In these stormy times the j partizaii should be merged in the patriot, ; and all good citizens should unite most ' cordially in maintaining the supremacy of ! the Government which protects them in their persons and property, and without : : which we should have no security in the ' 1 present or hope for the future. Those who sympathize with secession and give uttter l-attce to sentiments little better than treas- ! j enable, assume a fearful responsibility and j will live to repent of their folly if the danger so strongly depicted by the Commer cial should prove to be one of its ' bitter fruits 4 It is the solidity of the North that lias j rolled the scenes of war far from its borders, : j so that no state, city or neighborhood has j yet heard the firing of a hostile gun. The | sympathizers with secession among us, are j directing their energies to biing the worst calamities of civil war upon us. If the j efforts of party wire workers, to make po- j litical capital out of the stormy elements ; around us, were responded to, we should have feuds in neighborhoods, and war to j the knife in our streets. •There is no security or hopes for the ' preservation of life and property now but < in the unity of'the pcopie in support of the ! government. Those who would thrust : i purtyism into the strife and inflame the old I ! animosities of party men, know not what they are doing or are reckless of blood and ; the devastations of the torch of the iucea ; i diary. We must support the Government j ; in its struggle with rebellion, or no oitizen can long be sure his property is his own, or that his home is a place of refuge for his family. The rebellion of which Jefl". i 1 Davis is the head must be crushed out, or 1 the revolution will sweep throughout the ' < land and the Republic will perish iu a del- j < uge of blood and a tempest of fire. The 1 men who are miserably aiding and coin- i 1 lot ting treason for the sake of partizaii and j ' personal advantage which they deem possi- ! < ide, are inviting (though their darkened ! ' understanding may be incapable of the re- ! cognition of the lact) the horrors of a rev- i ' olution as terrific as that of France. 1 Perils of Teaching Grammar to Young l Damsels. t Mr. Kditur : —I have been sendin' nty j | darter Nancy to a skoolmu.-ter iu this na ! berhood. Last Friday 1 went over to the ! skool just to see how Nancy was gcttiu' along, and I sees things I don't like by any means. The skoolmaster was larnin' her things intircly out of the line of eddy- I cashun, and, as 1 think improper. I stay- ; ed awhile in the skool house, and lieered one class say their lesson. They was a i spellin', and I tho't spelled quite exceed ingly. Then cum Nancy's turn to say her lesson. She said it very spry. 1 was shoct! and determined she should leave the skool. I have Leered that gramtner is i an uncommon fine study, but I don't wan't j any more grannner about my house. The ! lesson that Nancy said was not bin" but the ; foolishest kind uv talk, the ridiclest love ; ' talk you ever seed. She got up, and the • first word she said was 'I love !' I looked j at her rite hard for doin' so improper, but she went rite on and sed, 'Thou lovest, he ; loves!" and 1 reckon you never heard such a rigmarole in you life—love, love, love, and nothing but love. She said one time, ! 'I did love.' Sea I, 'who did you love?' Then the skollars laffed, but I wasu't to be put off, and I sed : 'Who did you love, Nancy—l want to know—who did you love, Nancy?' The skoolmaster, Mr. McQuillister, then put in, and he said he would explain when Nancy finished her lesson. This sorter pacyfied uie, aud Naucy got on with awful luv talk. It got wus aud wus every word. I She said 'I might, could or would love.' j I stopt her agin, and said 1 reckon 1 would see about that, and told her to walk out of that house. The skoolmaster tried to interfere, but I wouldn't let biai say a word. lie said I was a fool, and I knock ed hiiu down and made him holler in short order. I taulkt the strait thing to him. I told him I'd show him how he'd learu my New Series—Vol. XV, No. 42. darter gramer. 1 got the iiahers together, and we sent Mr. McQuillister off in a hurry, and I rce -011 tharl be no uiore gratner teaehin' in these parts soon. 11 you know of any rather oldish man in your region that don't teadi gramer, we would be glad if you would send him up. But in the footurc we will he keerlul how we employ men. outig skool masters won't do, especially if they teaches gramer. It is a bad thing for morals. Yours til doth, THOMAS iimssoii SOI.K. How an Old Hero Fell. The Philadelphia Press, speaking of the battle of Manassas, says : Among those who tell was one old man whose head was white with age, and whose story is a romance of war. Ho had been thirty years in the regular service as a pri vate soldier. He had followed the Indians through the everglades of Florida, bivou acked upon the sides of the llocky Moun . tains, chased the Onmauehe and the Apacha through New Mexico, stood before the lire of Bucna Vista, charged upon the heights of Chapultepec, and followed tlio victorious flag of his country along the i plaza of Mexico „nd into the halls of the Montezumas. llis arm was covered with chevrons, six blue stripes indicating six consecutive enlistments, and two red bat tle stripes, typifying Florida and Mexico ; and with these simple insignia he felt prouder thau ever did the white plumed : Murat at the head of his gaudy He fell in the heat of b..ttle. Death of Warren. On the day of the memorable engage ment at Buukc.' Hill, Hen Joseph War ren, then in the prime of life, joined the American rank as a volunteer. ' ! ell me where I can be the most use ful,' said he, addressing himself to (Jen. j Putnam. 'On the redoubt.,' was the reply, ' there you will be covered.' ' I eatne not to bo covered,' answered Warren, ' tell me where 1 shall be in the most danger—tell me where the action will be the hotest.' At a meeting of the committee of safe ty, previous to the battle, his friends earn estly strove to dissuade liiui from exposing liis person. 'I know there is danger,' replied War ren, 'b it who does not think it sweet to. die for his country.' W lien Col. Present gave the order tore treat, Warren's desperate courage forbade him to obey the order. He lingered last in the redoubt, was slowly retreating when a British officer demanded him to surren der. Warren turned his face to the foe, receiving a fatal shot in the forehead, and fell dead in the trenches. Druth hJ Oaf/tar me J/a'i/es. —In the death of Catharine Hayes the musical world will find no ordinary loss. This la dy was a native of Ireland, born at Lim erick in IS2O, and died near London on the 1 —tli inst., in the forty-second year of her age, alter a brief illness, caused by the breaking of a blood vessel. Her musical career extended over twenty years; in opera she first appeared in Marseilles iu 1845 ; in IS4O she visited London, with a first class continental reputation, and at onee acquired u high position. Her visit to this country, in iSjl, is well remem bered ; here her success was only second to. that of Jenny Lind. She then visited California, the Sandwich Islands, and In dia, and returned to Kngland in 1855. In 1857 she married Mr. Ruslmell, her pro fessional agent in this country. Catharine I lays was not a great operatic vocalist. It was her beautiful ballad sing ing that charmed half the world. In this special class of vocalism she was unsur passed ; to the spirit of Irish melody she gave eloquent expression, and in her na tive land no singer was ever more popular. Her private life was as honorable as hoc public career was brilliant. .1 Chikl <>J four Years in the Delirium 7'n nii ns.—The St. Joseph (Mo ) Journal says : Otic of the most remarkable cases of delirium tremens was related in our hearing a few evenings since by a physi cian of cntensive practice and observation, lie was called in to see a boy of some four years of age. The symptoms indicated del iriutn tremens, but the age of the pa tient induced the practitioner to doubt his own judgement until he had uiade an in quiry into the case. The facts deduced, together with the breath of the child, con vinced the physician that the case was clearly made out as stated. Upon ques tioning the father, who kept a saloon, it appeared that he had been in the habit of giving the child draughts of spirits, until it had acquired a taste for it, and would imbibe when no one was present to control its appetite. The result was a clear case of delirium tremens. fifci&,Uusinesi affairs have assumed a more cheerful aspect in llhodc Island. The woolleu manufacture, which had Lug been of great importance iu that State, and which has latterly greatly increased, is now pretty fully occupied. The demand for army clothing and the falliug off in importation have opened a great market for domestic production.
