Israel Putnam.
Putnam's early days were spent na those of
most Isiya placed in bis situation in life. One
of his fnvorite amusements was "bird tipstinp,"
a cruel and useless eiis'nm, followed in all coun
try places with a ferocity perfectly atrocious.
These hunts for nesls were followed in compa
ny ; but Putnam was always the leader of the
bnnd.
On one occasion he and bis companions came
across a fine nest which lodged on a frail
branch of a very high tree. The tree stood a
part from the others, and was difficult ofclimb
ino. Besides this, it wns evident no pole, or
contrivance would answer the purposp of get
ting thp nest there was no way ot obtaining it,
save by venturing upon the branch, which, nine
chances to ten, would break under the weight
of the robber. No one wou'd venture.
Putnam regarded the nest and liinh in silence
for some moments, ami at length said
'That bird has all the qualities of a soldier.
It has completely fortified Its home. I'll wager
there is not a l.y for ten miles round that
could gel that uet.
All agreed with him.
I'll try it,' said he deliberately taking off his
jacket, and rolling his pantaloons up to his
knees.
The little knot of hoys attempted to dissuade
bun, but to no purpose. Go lip would.
'I'll fancy that one of the King's strong
holds.' said Putnam, 'and may Ibe shot if I don't
Come off victor.'
The tree was ascended the limb gained,
I'utnnm plac-ri his foot nn it. and it cienke l,
while the old bird fl w off wall a sharp cry.
and remained describing circles arounti the tree
and uttering touching complaints.
'Rah!' sa'd Putnam, Mo you not prey on our
fields ! Do you no' 'ax us for vour support t
Do you not take our ouls against our will, just
like the Kinir V
He ventured a foot further on to the limb.
It bent low, ami a warning murmur aro-e from
the boys below. Putnam put los knee to the
branch, and reached toward the nest. The
hinb broke partially a shout below ami Put
nam persevered. His fingers touched the wish
ed for prme, and just as he cried 'I've got it,'
the limb broke clearoff, and he fell, but not to
the ground
His pantaloons caught in one of
the lower branches, and his head hung down
wards.
'I'ut, are you hurt,' asked one of the boys.
'.Not hurt,' answered the undaunted heart;
'hut sorely puzzled how lo get down.'
We can't cut away the limb because we
have no knife.'
'I can't stay here till you get one.'
'We'll striken light and burn the tree down.'
'Aye, and smother me in the smoke. That
won't do.
Thrrp was a boy named Randall in the group,
who va noted for being a crack marksman, and
who afterwards tiii!;!it very bravely at PutnamV
side. Him Putnam addresd :
'Jim Randall, there's a ball in your rifle
Yes.'
'Do you see that a very little liu.b holds me
here!'
I do V
'Fire at it !'
'What, tn cut you down V
'Of course
Rut 1 might strike your head V
'Shoot. Uelter ulow out my brains than see
me die here, which I shall in tiitceii minutes.
Shoot.
llut yon will full.'
'Jim It oid ill w ill you fire !

was. thuiight of it.
Three days alter, Putnam met Randall and
the ret, uud taking; the nest from his pocket,
said
'Here is that nest. I said I would have it or
perish : but I went alone, because I dcteruiim d
no one should s e me tail, and aid mc lu cs
