THE BIRDS. The Warbles of the Year—When they come—What they. bo—The Order of Succession. In the Atlantic Monthly for May is an article entitled "With the Birds," from which we make the following extracts: The Robins In that free, fascinating, half-work and half-play pursuit—sugar-making, a pursuit which still lingers in many parts of New York, as in New Eng land, the Robin is one's boon compan ion. When the day is sunny and the ground bare, you may meet him at all points and hear him at all hours. At sunset, on the tops of the tall maples, with look heavenward, and in a spir it of utter abandonment, he carols Lis simple-strain. And sitting thus amid the stark, silent trees, above the wet, cold earth, with the chill, of win ter still in the air, there is no fitter or sweeter songster "in the whole round year. It is in keeping with the scene and the occasion. How round and genuine the notes are, and how eager ly our ears drink them in 1 The first utterance, and the spell of winter is thoroughly broken and the remem brance of it afar off. Robin is one of the most native and democratic of our birds; he is one of the family, and seems much nearer to 1123 than those rare, exotic visitants, as the Orchard Starling or Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, with their distant, high bread ways. Hardy, noisy, frolicsome, neighborly and domestic in his ways, strong of wing and bold in spirit, he is the pioneer of the Thrush family, and well worthy of the finer artists whose coming be heralds and in a measure prepares for us. I could wish Robin less native and plebeian in one respect—the building of his nest. Its coarse material and rough masonry are creditable neither to his skill as a workman nor to his taste as an artist. lam the more for cibly reminded of his deficency in this respect from observing yonder Hum ming-Bird's nest, which is a marvel bf fitness and adaption, a proper set ting for_this winged gem, the body of it composed of a white felt-like sub stance, probably the doWn of some plant, or the wool of some worm, and toned down in keeping with the branch on . which it sits by minute treelinchens, woven" together by threads as fine and frail as gossamer. The Phoebe Another April bird, which makes ' her appearance sometimes earlier and and sometimes later than Robin, and whose memory I fondly cherish, is the Phcebe-Bird (aluscicapa nunciola), the pioneer of the Flycatchers.

VOL, XX, is welcomed by all ears. At agrees. ble intervalkin her lay she describes a circle or ari ellipse in the air, ostensi bly prospecting for insects, but really, I stispect, as an artistic flourish, thrown in to make up in some way for . the deficiency of her musical performance. If plainness of dress indicates powers of song, as it usually does, then Phm be ought to bo unrivaled in musical ability, for surely that ashen gray suit is the superlative of plainness; and that form, likewise, though it might pass for the "perfect figure" of a bird, measured by Yoe Gargery's standard, to a fastidious taste would present exceptionable points. The seasonableness of her coming, howev er, and her civil, neighborly ways, shall make up for all deficencies in song and plumage, and remove any suspicions we have bad, that, perhaps, from some cause or other, she was in some slight disfavor with Nature. After a few weeks Phoebe is seldom seen, except as she darts from her moss-covered nest beneath some bridge, or shelving cliff. May Birds. May is the month of the Swallow and the Orioles. There are many other distinguished arrivals; indeed, nine—tenths of the birds are hero by the last week in May, yet the 'Swal lows and Orioles are the most con spicuous. Tho bright plumage of the latter seems really like au arrival from the tropics. I see them flash through the blossoming trees, and all the forenoon hear their incessant war bling and wooing. The Swallows dive and chatter about tho barn, or squeak and build beneath the eaves; the Partridge drums in the fresh nn• folding woods; the long, tender note of the Meadow Lark comes up from the meadow; and at sunset, from every marsh and pond come the ten thous and voices of the Ilylas. May is the transition month, and exists to con nect April and June, the root with the the flower. With Juno the cup is full, our hearts are satisfied, there is no more to' be desired. The perfection of the season, among other things, has brought the perfection of the song and plumage of the birds. The master artists are all here; and the expectations excited by the Robin and Song Sparrow are ful ly justified. The Thrushes have all come; and I sit down upon the first rock with hands full of the pink Aza lea, to listen. With me, the Cuckoo does not arrive till June, and often the Goldfinch, theliinghird,the Scarlet Tanager delay their coming till then. In the meadows the Bobolink is in all his glory;in high pastures the Field- Sparrow sings his breezy vesper hymn; and the whole woods are unfolding to the music of the Thrushes. The Cuckoo. is one of the most solitary birds of our forests, and is strangely tame and quiet, appearing equally untouched by joy or grief, fear or anger. Is lie an exile from some other sphere, and are his loneliness and indifference the result of a hopeless, yet resigned soul? Or, has he passed through some terrible calamity, or bereavement, that has overpowered his sensibilities, yen • dering him dreamy and semi-conscious? Something remote seems over weigh ing on his mind. He deposits his eggs in the nests of other birds, having no heart for work or domestic care. His not or call is as of one lost or wander ing, and the farmer says is prophetic of - rain, Amid the general joy and the sweet assurance of things, I loved to listen to this strange clairvoyant call. Heard a quarter of a mile away, coming up from the dark bosom, of the forest or out from the somber recesses, of the mountain, like the voice of a muezzon calling to prayer in the Oriental twilight, it has a pe culiar fascination. Ile wanders. from place to place, "'An invisible thing, . A voice, a mystery." Yon will probably hear him a score, of times to seeing him once. I rarely discover him in. the woods, except when on a protracted stay; but when in JUDO he makes his gastronomic tour of the garden and orchard, regal ing himself upon canker-worms, he is quite noticeable. Since food of some kind is a necessity, he seems resolved to burden himself us little as possible with the care of obtaining it, and ea devours these creeping horrors with the utmost matter-of-course air. At this xlipe ho is ono of the tamest birds in the orchard, and will allow you, to approach within a few yards of . him , . I have even come within a few foot of ono without seeming to excite his fear or suspicion. He is quite unsophisti cated or else royally inclifrereut, Without any exception, his plumage is qno ylphost brown I am acquainted . _ . _ - .: :,,,, f,'3.f<; .,,, , - . , : . •".

Notwithstanding the despar ity in size and color•, ho has certain peculiarities that remind one of the Passenger Pigeon. His eye,- with its rod circle, the shape of his head, and his motions on alighting and taking flight, quickly suggest the resem blance; though in grace • and speed, when on the wing, he is far inferior. Ilia tail seems dispropor tionately long, like that of the Red Thrush, and his flight among the trees is very still, contrasting strongly with the honest clatter of the Robin or Pigeon. Distribution The distribution of plants in a given locality is not more marked and do fined than that of the birds. Show a botanist a land, he will tell you where to look for the Lady's-Slipper, the Columbine, or the Harebell. On the same principles the ornit holigist will direct you where to look for tho Hood ed Warbler, the Wood'Sparrow or the Chewink. In adjourning counties in the same latitude, and equally but possessing a different geological formation and different forest timber, you will oblerve quite a different for est timber, you will observe quite a different class of birds. In a country of the beech and maple I do not find tho same songsters that I know where thrive the oak, chestnut and laurel. In going from a district of the Old Red Sandstone to where I walk upon the old Plutonic Rock, not fifty miles distant, I miss in'the woods the Vocry, the Hermit-Thrush, the chestnut Sided Warbler, the Blue- Backed Warbler, the Green Backed Warbler, the Black and Yellow Warb ler, and many others—and find in their , stead the Wood-Thrush, the Chewink, the Redstart, the Yellow- Breasted Flycatcher, the White-Eyed Flycatcher, the Quail and the Turtle- Dove. as' The Wood-Thrush But the crowning glory of all these Robins, Flycatchers and Warblers is the Wood-Thrush. More abundant than all other birds, except the Robin and Cat bird, he greets you from ev ery rock and shrubs Shy and resery ed when he first makes his appearance in May, before the end of June he is tame and familiar, and sings on the tree over your head, or on the rock a few paces in advance. A pair even built their nest and reared their brood within ten or twelve feet of the piazza of a large summer house in the vicini ty. But when the gueits commenced to arrive and the piazza to be throng ed with gay crowds, I noticed some thing like dread, and foreboding in the manner of the motherbird; and froM her still, quiet ways and habit of sit tin; long and silently within a few feet of the precious charge, it seemed as if the dear creature had resolved, if possible, to avoid all observation. He is the only songster of rffy ac• quaintance, excepting the canary, that displays different degrees of proficien cy in the exercise of his musical gifts. Not long since, while walking one Sunday in the edge of an orchard ad joining a wood, I heard one that so obviously and unmistakingly surpass. ed all his rivals, that my companion, though slow to notice such things, re marked it wonderingly; and with ono accord we threw ourselves upon the grass and drank in the bounteous mel ody. It was not different in quality so Much as in quantity. • Such a flood of it! Such magnifieent copiousness ! Such long, trilling, deferring, accelera• ting preludes! Such sudden, ecstatic overtures would have intoxicated the dullest car.. Ho was really without a compeer, a master artist. Twice after ward I was conscious of having heard the same bird. The wood-thrush is the handsomest species of Able family. In grace and elegance of manner he has no equal. Such a gentle, bird-bred air, and such inimitable ease and composure in his flight and movement ! He is &poet in very word and deed. His carriage is music to the eye. His performanee of the commonest act, as catching a, beetle orpicking a worm from the mud,pleases like a stroke of wit or eloquence. Was he a prince in the olden time, and do the regal grace and mien still adhere to him in histransformatisn ? What a finely proportioned foiln I How plain, yot rich in his color,—the bright rnsset. of his buck, the clear white of his breast, with the distinct heart sha ped spotel It may be objected to Robin that ho is noisy and demonstrative; he hurries away or rises to a branch with an angry note, and flirts his wings in ill-bred suspicion. Tho Mavis, or Rod Thrush, sneaks aucf *Mks lilso a mil-, prit hiding in the highost alderp; the Cat -bird is a coquette and a flirt s as well as a sort of female Paul l?ry; and -PERSEVERE, the Chewink shows his inhospitality by espying your movements like a Japanese. The Wood-thrush haehene of these underbred traits. He regards me unsuspiciously, or avoids me .with a noble reserve— : or, if I am quiet and incurious, graciously hops - toward me, as if to pay his respects, or to make my, acquaintance. Pass nearhis nest, under the very branch, within a few feet of his mate and • brood and be opens not his beak;, he concedes *you the right to pass there ; if it lies in your course; but pause 'an instant; raise your band toward the defenceless household, and his anger and indigna tion are beautiful to behold. What a noble pride he has ! lute one October, after his mates and com panions bad long since gone South, I noticed one for several successive days in the denso part of this nextdoor wood, flitting noiseleSsly about, very grave and silent, as if doing penance for some violation of the code of honor. By many gentle, indirect approaches, I perceived that part of his tail-feath ors wero undeveloped. The sylvan prince ceuld not think of returning to court in this plight—and so amid the falling leaves and cold rains of Aut umn, was patiently biding his time. The Cat bird I hardly know whether I am more pleased or annoyed with the Cat Bird. Perhaps she: is a little too common, and her part in the general chorus a little too cmspicuous. •If you are toning for the note of another bird, sho is sure to be prompted to the most loud and protracted singing, drown ing all other sounds; if you sit quietly down to observe a favorite or study a new comer, her curiosity knows no bounds, and you are scanned and rid iculed from every point of . observation. Yet I would not miss her; I would only subordinate her a little; make her less conspicuous. She is the parodist of the woods, and there is ever.:B'misellievous, bantering, halfironieal undertone in her lay, as if she were conscious of mimicking and disconcerting somo envied songster. Ambitious of song, .practising and re hearsing in private, she yet seems the least sincere and genuine of the sylvan minstrels, as if she had taken iv music only to be in the fashion, or not to be outdone by the Robins and Thrushes. In other words, shoseems to sing from some outward motive, and not from In ward joyousness. • She is a good versi fier, but not a great piiet. Vigorous, rapid, copious, and without fine totich es, but destitute of any high, serene melody, her performance, like that of Thoreau's squirrel, always implies a spectator. •• Sumter Birds Till the middle of" July there is a general equilibrium ; the tido stands poised,-the holiday spirit is unabated. But us tho harvest ripens beneath the long, hot days, the melody ceases. The young are out of the nest and must be cared for, and moulting season, is at hand. After the. Cricket has commen ced to drone his mobotonous refrain beneath your window, you will not, till another season, hear the Wood- Thrush in all his matchless eloquence. Tho Bobolink has become careworn and fretful, and blurts out snatches of his song between. his scolding and up braiding, as you approach the vicinity of his nest, oscillating between anxiety . for his brood and solicitude for his mu sicalreputation. Some of the Spar rows will sing, and occasionally across the hot fields,' from a tall tree in the edge of the forest, comes the rich note of the Scarlet Tanager. This tropical colored bird loves thohottest weather, and I hear him-more in dog days than at any other time. The remainder of the . Summer is the carnival of the Swallows and Fly catch era. Flics and insects, to any amount are to be bad for the catching; and the opportunity is well improved. August is the month of the high sailing Hawks. The Hen Hawk is the most noticeable. He likes the haze and calm of these long, warm days. He is a bird of leisure, and seems al ways at his - case. How beautiful and majestic are his movements! so self. poised and easy, such an entire ab sence of haste, such a magnificent am plitude of circles and spirals, such a haughty, imperial grace, and occasion ally such daring aerial evolutions! With slow, leisurely niovement,rare ly vibrating his pinions, ho mounts and mounts in nq ascending spiral till he appears a more speck against the Summer sky; then, if the mood seizes him, with wings half closed, like a tlnt, boar, he will cleave the air almost per pendicularly, as if intent Cu dashing himself to pieces against the earth; but on nearing the ground, he suddenly mounts again on broad, expanded wing, as if rebounding upon the air, and s;tils leisurely away. It is the sublimeit feat of tho season. One.holds hie breath till ho sees hirn rise again. Sometimes a squirrel, or bird, or an unsuspecting barn lowl is scathed and withered beneath this terrible cisita• tion. If inclined to a .more gradual and less precipitons deacent, he fixes his eye on some distant point in the earth beneath him and thither bends his course. lie is _still almost meteor. io in his speed and boldness. You see his path down the heavens, straightas a lino; if near, you hear the rush of his wings; his shadoW hurtles across the fields, and in an instant you see him quietly perched upon some low tree or decayed stub in a swamp or meadow, with reminiscence of frogs and mice stirring in his maw. When the South wind blow's, it is a study to see three or four of those air kings at the head of the. valley .far up toward the mountain, balancing and oscillating upon tho strong current; now quite stationary, except a slight tremulous motion like the poise of a rope-dancer, then rising and fallen in long undulations; and seeming to re sign themselves passively to the wind; or, sailing high and level far 'above the mountain's peak—no bluster and haste, but, as .stated, occasionally a terrible earnestness and speed. Fire at him as ho sails overhead, and, on• less wounded badly, ho will not change his course or gait. Ibis flight is a perfect picture of ro pes() in motion. He ►night sleep or dream in that leVel, effortless, aimless sail. It strikes the eye as more .sur prising than the flight of the Pigeon and Swallow even, in that the effort put forth is so uniform and dolicato as to escapo observation, giving to the movement an air ot buoyancy andper petuity,-tho effluence of power,rather than the conscious application of it. Autumn Birds But Summer wanes, and Autumn approaches. The songsters of the seed times are silent at the reaping of the harvest. Other minstrels take up the strain. It is the heyday of'insect life. The day is canopied with musical sound. All the songs of the Spring and Sum mer appear to be floating, softened and refined, in the upper air. The birds, in a new, but less holiday suit, turn their faces southward. The Swallows flock and go; the Bobolinks flock and go; silently and unobserved,the Thrush es go. Autumn arrives,bringing Finch es, Warblers, Sparrows and Kinglets from the north. Silently the proces- - sion passes. Yonder Hawk, soiling peacefully away till he is lost in the horizon is a symbol of the closing ;ma son and the departing birds! Proclamation by the President.
