Have a busy life, and plenty of play:
In the earth they dig their bills deep,
And work well though they do not heap:
Then to play in the air they are not loath,
And thelr nests between are better than both.

When berries are plenty in winter, and worms;

years ago, Daniel Holmes was an eager
teacher, keeping wi 11 abreast with the

seAbrabam Griffin, a jockey at the
Merchantville race track, was crushed
under his horse recently, and will prob-
ably die. In some manner the horss
became unmanageable at one of the
turps and ran with great force to the
other fence. The jockey was thrown
off and the horse rol'ed on him. Grif-
fin was taken to the Cooper Hospital,
Camden, where it was found that he
was suffering from concussion of the
brain, with probable internal injuries,
and his chances of recovery are very
slim.
