A would be philanthropist relates his experienct's trying to play mother to a nest of little robins, which had by some accident been deprived of their rightful mother's care. He diligently set to work digging angleworms, and sup posed that he was fulfilling his whole duty, when one of the poor little songs ters died. Upon examination of the body, which was reduced to skin and bone, the foster parent came to the con clusion that it must have died of starv ation. Deeply grieved at his shortcoming, he redoubled his efforts, determined to at least save the other two. It was not long, however, before a second one died, evidently of the same malady. The good man then re.-olv.sl that, whatever the third one died of, it should not be starvation, and tiwik off his coat and went to work in earnest. He kept on with the angleworm diet until he found that b.is one little bird was consuming I from 14 to is yards of angleworms a j day. This was t. . much for his pa tienci and h<- proceeded to substitute the more easily managed diet of bread I and milk and uthi r delicacies, which i were, however, nut nearly so much tc i Miss Robin s taste. Wanting to diseov- r whether he had ■ been catering to a family of abnormal I appetites, our friend t - -k to watching ! the methods of a real mother bird and I found that she fed her young every two I minutes. He then consulted the learned i books upon birds and discovered that I 14 yards of worms a day, with meals ! every two minutes, is the average rate | of feeding fledgelings. He has therefore ' decided that he does not care to take I up raising birds by hand as a business, j —Boston Transcript.

Mr. r ditjr : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, 1 am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over <3,000 to build, The land, in the first place, cost me from <25 down to <4 per acre—saying altogether, about <lO per acre, without improvements; and to get rid of it, 1 will average the whole place at <lO per acre, in the following way : 1 will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at <lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 ti an' itbe-r, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, i the entire quantity to be drawn for. In ther words, the number of lots anil quantity of land to be put in a bat ■ r Ik.x, and drawn out und r approval of a com mittee cf gentlemen, at some stated time, : so that all shall have a fiirehar.ee to get a 1 home at al.w ; : ice, 11;- ne has a chance of losing their m trtcy, ■ r failing to I get their value, a< ] an '. me get a farm at far '. -ss than cost The land is 12 miles fr m Macon, a city j of some < r fiO/’t’U people, and is i adapted t ■ ma:ket gardening, and for ’ northern pe pie who kn w huw to work, i it offers a fine <•; p i-rtunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all t.>getber, and would make a fine settlement,having the best of pictures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The laud is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know f, and lam satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I ’ have concluded t > make the terms f pay | ment in four annual payments without I interest, which is tantamount to putting j the price of the land very low. The ! titles to the lan : have been in the posses sion d one <>r two parties for vears, and have never lx cn qm-tioned and are as - B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville.
