Bluebirds, Eobins and Thrushes.
WHERE THEY Id YE AND HOW THEY WHISTLE.
No more dainty, elegant and beautiW
publication has ever issued from the super
latively tasteful house of Ticknor & Fields,
than their Alantic Almanac. This illumina
ted, large ami finely illustrated annual first
appeared last Winter. Now the second one
has come out—splendid as October’s maple
leaves. And its matter is as good as its
manner. Here is a specimen. Mr. Thomas
Mr. Brewer is writing about Bluebirds and
Robins:
Our earliest Spring musicians are the
Bluebird and the Robin. Familiar as both
birds are to most of us, they deserve some
thing more than a passing mention among
the song-birds of this country. Os the
Bluebirds we have three species, all closely
resembling one another, yet sufficiently dis
tinct, and occupying different parts of the
continent. Two of these are found in an
area between the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific. The third is our common Blue
bird of the East, more or less abundant
from Louisiana to Hudson’s Bay, and from
Cape Cod to the Mississippi. Os all our
birds, this bears the closest resemblance in
outward form and colors, and in its habits
and general characteristics, to the tradi
tional Robin Redbreast of Europe. It does
not, it is true, in the Winter season, with
the same delightful familiarity of which we
have so often read, come round our dwell
ings, or seek the shelter of our roof. Nor
would it, like Robin Redbreast, pick up the
proffered crumb of bread. Its food is ex
clusively of insects, and it cannot, there
fore, well subsist in waether which inter
feres with Us obtaining! Us prey. We do
not, therefore, meet with it in midwinter,
in any of the more Northern States. .Iu
the early Spring, and throughout the Sum
mer, it is found in all parts of the country
East of the Mississippi, as far North as the
48th parallel of latitude. How or where
these birds pass the Winter does not clear
ly appear. In the Southern, and even in
some of the Middle States, on Tevery mild
Winter day, the Bluebirds will come out
from their retreats, wherever these may be,
but will all disappear again on the return
of severe weather. They are among the
first comers among the migratory birds, al-
ways making their appearance in the first
days of March, and once even in Massa
chusetts as early as the 15th of February.
On that occasion, although the weather
subsequently became very severe, the ther
mometer falling to zero, the Bluebirds re
mained, and were, from time to time, ob
served to be singing, and appearing to be
having a good time generally, in spite of
the temperature.
Our Bluebird is a very pleasing, but Is
not a powerful or a remarkable singer. His
notes are a succession of low and melo
dious warblings, and are almost exclusive
ly uttered in close proximity to his mate.
As his song is usually our first announce
ment that Spriug, though yet M distant, is
advancing, so, too, his notes may be heard
among the, very la3t, and long after most of
our other vocalists are mute.
The Western Bluebird and the Arctic
Bluebird are peculiar to the Pacific Coast.
In their habits, in their apperance, and, in
deed, in all other respects than their resi
dence, they very nearly resemble the East
ern species. The song of the first named
is said to be even more tender, sweet, arid
varied than are the notes of onr common
species. In regard to this, however, out
authorities do not agree; Dr. J. G. Cooper,
of California, very stoutly maintaining the
contrary. The notes of the Arctic species
are said to be easily distinguished from
either of the others. Though equally sweet
and clear, they are delivered with much
less power, -
Another of our earliest arid most.fiuhiliar
songsters, whose loud and melodious whis
tle in early Spring resounds throughout the
length and breadth of our entire coritinent,
is the Robin. It is too late now to enter
onr protest against this absorb misnomer,
A Robin it is, in Yankee* parlance, and so
will continue to be called so long as we
may continue to hear its delightful music,
What need have we to describe its notes ?
Who of us, from the Atlantic to the Paci
fic, is not familiar with its powerful, if not
varied song, which Audubon tells us can,
hardly be distinguisned from that of the
far-famed Blackbird of Europe ? Like the
Bluebird, the Robin, as he is among the
Sri-tUcdUn Constitutionalist.
first to open, so he is among the last to
close the vernal concert of nature.
The earnestness, simplicity, and thrilling
nature of his song constitute its gripat
charm. Its notes do Hot exhibit a-very
great variety, and are thought by different
writers to resemble those of other birds, by
some being said to reeemble the Brown
Thresher , by others the Wood Thrush of
Europe. Its song, in the still, early, sum
mer mornings, seems to pervade all space,
and everywhere to be the 7 predominating
music. It begins with the first gray of the
morning’s dawn, and only closes with the
lost glimmer of the closing twilight. If,
as says the old adage, early rising is calcu
lated to assure wealth and wisdom, com
bined with good physical health, surely the
Robin ought to be abundantly blessed in
these respects. It is up and in full song
long before any one else is astir; so early
indeed, and so very soon after its last eve
ning appearance, that one would almost
think it could hardly pay for it to retire to
roost, devoting, as it does, in the long sum
mer days of June, sixteen or eighteen hours
ont of the twenty-four to giving its earnest
and enthusiastic expression to harmonious
Squares.

sounds.
Belonging to the same family with the
Robin are several of our best singers.—
Indeed, the entire family of true Thrashes
and all its kith and kin, are musicians.—
All of them are excellent, and several
of them are worthy of special men
tion. Perhaps the most celebrated of these
is the Wood Thrush, of course not the bird
bearing the same common name in Europe.
Our bird occurs in Summer, from Mexico
to New England, Massachusetts being its
most Northern limit. It is, far the most
part, as by some it-is not inaptly called, a
“ bird of the solitude,” seeming to prefer
dense thickets, low, damp hollows, shaded
by the dense foliage of forest trees. But
this, though its general, is by no means its
universal habit. We can remember when
a small grove near the paternal home, with
in the present limits of Boston, was the fa
vorite resort of several pairs of these birds,
who, year after year, built their nests, rear
ed their yonng, and filled the neighborhood
with their delightful melody, unmindful of
the frequent presence of curious and inter
ested children, one, at least, of whoiq will
not soon forget the enjoyment derived from
the exquisite sweetness of their music.
One of the most observing young natural
ists mentions an even more striking depart
ure of a Wood Thrush from the usual habit
of the species. For several successive
Summers one of “these birds of solitude”
made its home among the elms and maples
of the Court Square, in the very heart of
Springfield, speuding the entire season in
its immediate vicinity, and pouring out his
melodious strains at early dawn, and at
various hours of the day, until late in the
evening, as undisturbed by the people on
the walks beneath him, or tha noise and
rattle of the vehicles in the contiguous
streets, as if he were id liis own wild-wood
haunts. His superior musical powers
caused him to become a favorite, as he
familiarly searched for his food along the
gravel walks of that frequented square.
The song of the Wood Thrush is at ouce
attractive and peculiar. No lover of the
sweet sounds of nature cad fail to notice it,
or, having once heard it, knowing its
source, can fail to recognize it ever after.
Language cannot describe, still less do jus
tice to, the surpassing richness of its melo
dy. It has been compared by Wilson to
the double tonguing of a German fluil or to
the tinkling of a small bell. Their whole
song consists of five or six distinct Darts,
the last note of each of winch is in such a
tone as seemingly to leave the conclusion
suspended. The finale is finely managed,
and is sweeter and sweeter at each succes
sive repetition.
But very little inferior to the Wood
Thrash in their vocal powers are a groyp
of fpor or five distinct ami very close
ly-allied soecies. Though not familiar to
the unscientific world, and only very re
cently recognized in all their specific dis
tinctions by our naturalists, they are chief
ly known as Hermit Thrushes. They all
dwell in swampy woods, aucl are retiring
and secluded in their habits.
•There are at least seven recognized as dif
ferent species in thisgrobp; but of these
two are very little known, and none of
them are well identified by common names.
One is called Wilson’s Thrush, and is a
common bird throughout New England.
The Ground Swamp Robin and the Olive
backed Thrush are found in warm weather
from Massachusetts to Labrador. Alice’s
Thrush, called also the Gray-checked
Thrush, is found in the same Northern lati
tudes, but farther West, its domain seeming
to be from Chicago North, in the central
portions of the continent. The Pacific
Thrush is a bird of Oregon. •
All these binds, with a single exception,
have a high arctic range. With the notes
of the last two mentioned our naturalists
are not familiar, or have at least made no
mention. They are presumed to be not dif
ferent from the general character of their
kindred. Os the group the Olive-backed
Swainson’s Thrush is decidedly the supe
rior singer. Both this and the more com
mon Swamp Robin, as well as our Wilson’s
Thrush, combine sweetness, variety, and
exquisite harmonious tinkling sounds in
their notes, which, to our taste, are fully
equal to the more famed song of the Wood
Thrush. They all have the same peculiar,
clear, metalic ring, the same wonderful
blending of various sweet sounds, which
no one can hear but with delight, or, having
heard, fail to remember ever after with a
vivid recollection of their charm. When
in grief for the loss of its young, the Olive
backed Thrash breaks forth with a song of
lamentation, very different from the harsh
and discordant notes of other birds, under
like circumstances, but laments in notes of
surpassing sweetness and plaintive melody,
“so pitiousty sad and waesome, that onr
hearts amaist broke as we sate and listened.’
[From the Baltimore Gazette.
The Cincinnati Facility of Divorce.
Os all the domestic and social institutions
existent that marriage is recognized in
civilized countries as the most important.
Its proper regulation concerns the State
probably more than it does the individuals
who enter into marital connections. Ill
advised marriages bring personal griefs,
but where the ceremony itself is lightly re
garded the demoralization of the communi
ty is the inevitable result. The care which*
children receive and the propriety with
which the family relations are maintained
may be measured by the solemnity and in
dissolubility which attach to the holy
estate of triatriraony. In those countries
where husbands and wives have been able
easily to procure a legal separation it has
always been found that such facilities su-
perinduce a corresponding preparedness for
the neglect or abandonment of their oft
spring. Wherever the marriage tie is look
ed upon as a partnership which may be dis
solved at the pleasure of either party, there
we may look for a dissolute and debauched
community. The Protestant Episcopal
Convention now in session in New York
has therefore done good service in call
ing attention to the feasibility with which
divoreescan be obtained in’many States
in this country, and in providing more
rigorous rules to prevent the clergymen
of that denomination from indiscriminately
remarrying persons who have been divorc
ed. In a debate upon the subject a gentle
man from Connecticut stated that “the
frightfril prevalence of divorce was sapping
the foundation of society, and that Yale
College, the Congregationalists and iProf.
Loomis were making them popular.” What
foundation there may be for these charges,
so Sr as the parties named are concerned,
we ftre unable to say, hat we are satisfied
that a great deal of the profligacy which
exists in New England owes its origin di
rectly or Indirectly to the teachings of
those who regard marriage very much in
the light of a mere business transaction.—
One clergyman stated that in some parts of
New England, and he mentioned Essex
coanty, in Massachusetts, as an instance,
“ one-tenth part of the marriages are of
persons who have been divorced
husband or wife.” In some of the Western
States a divorce can be procured almost as
cheaply and promptly as a license to be
married. The evil is already widespread
and is increasing daily. If Bociety shall
continue to extend its toleration or ap
proval to the habit of procuring divorces
whenever married parties fail to live har
moniously, the pernicious effects of such a
system will soon make themselves mani
fest. The influences which are now most
potent to control men and women will
cease to be operative, and released from un
welcome restraints and from the necessity
of making any sacrifices, ffeople would
soon learn to live with the Mxity for which
the inhabitants of Pompeii were notorious.
English and American Eadipk
A writer in Tinsley’s Magazine says:
“ English women have their out-of-door
sports as well as the men. They row, they
ride, they have archery meetings, and,
more than this, they walk out in every kind
of weather. lam not abotft to repeat the
old cry that American ladies wear thin
shoes, fade quickly and die early. This cry
was never qnite true, except in regard to la
dies of fashion; and snch ladies are very
much alike all over the world, wearing the
same attire, living the same life, and com
ing to the same end. Bat, unquestionably,
the opening of the New York Central Park
—which rendered all American parks sud
denly fashionable —and the subsequent and
consequent introduction of English walk
ing boots, have greatly benefltted American
women, and have blessed, like anew provi
dence, the American children. I have had
the honor of introductions to English ma
trons who appeared quite as yonng as their
daughters, and have met an English lady
who assured me that she was a grandmoth
er, although she looked young, charming,
and handsome enough for a maiden of 18;
but I think I could find similar phenomena
in America, and I have encountered some
English girls who seemed old enough to be
their own mothers, not to say grandmoth
ers, and ugly enough to suggest the theory
of demoniacal influences. The truth is,
that American ladies, as a rale, are as hand
some as the English, and last just as long ;
but theirs is a different style of beauty, and
each man has his own ideal. Ido not wfht
the American women to look like the
English, but I want them to be as healthy,
and to introduce to the world as healthy
children. To accomplish this, they should
wear warmer under-clothing, walk more, be
more independent of the weather, live more
in the open air, and take horseback exercise
regularly. Almost every English lady
knows how to ride; that goes withont ask
ing; but in America, although you may
be sure that every lady can thumb a piano,
not one in fifty can ride. Croquet is not
exercise—for which reason, I presume, the’
American women have been willing td
adopt It; but gardening is a healthy amuse
ment, which most Americans neglect; and
In which English ladies take the utmost
delight. Foreigners who reside for any
time in England soon learn the pleasures of
a garden. I have seen an Italian priina
donna, for whom the critics cannot find
sufficient praise nor the public adequate
applause, digging with a trowel at 0 o’clock
in the morning; and it is astonishing how
much interest American residents here take
in an occupation which they scarcely
thought of in their own country. Better
this than forming woman’s clubs, or agitat
ing for woman’s rights by declaring wo
man’s wrongs. Far better than resorting
to watering places every Bummer in quest
of rest and strength, and returning in the
Autumn more fatigued than ever. English
women go to watering places also; but
they go for the water and flirt accidentally;
they blithe ; they trot about on, the beach ;
they- make walking excursions into--the
adjacent country; they are not so particu
lar about their toilets as in town. The
American ladies go to flirt, and take the"
water incidentally; they pass the day in
frequent changes of dress for breakfast,
lunch, promenade, drive, dinner and eve
ning dance; go to bed when they should be
thinking of getting up, and commit more
follies in a few weeks thaD they can satis
factorily repent of during ihe remainder of
the year. The first duty of a woman is to
be handsome and healthy, and the average
English woman performs her duty faithful
ly; the average American woman fails
after the handsome half.”
Dumas and Authors— In the preface to
the second volume of his plays, the junior
Da mas says:
Do you see that unfortunate young man
with a contracted face, yellow temples,
grimacing mouth, and wandering eyes? He
was born to walk free and joyous behind a
plow, sowing with a proud gesture the
seed of the next harvest; at night he would
have eaten by his fire-side the bread earned
during the day; each of his steps, every
move he made, would have given him a
livelihood. Look at him in the crowded
capital, pressing day and night his head in
both hands, kneading it and making it
sweat stories, adventures, combinations for
a famished crowd which devours him, and
quits him for another when it can get noth
ing more from him. That man will, for a
little longer or a little shorter time, make
Henrietta marry Arthur, surpriso the lover
by the husband, poison this one, guillotine
that one, and adroitly suspend the interest
at the end of the chapter orof th e femUeton.
He, in succession, sells love, jealousy, tears,
history, fun, slang, satire, morals, eulogy,
insult, politics,, progress* sentiment, ob
scenity, religion, in fine “copy” from two to
five sous a line, according to the reader’s
taste, the newspaper’s lipe of policy, and
the current of the day. When he has ex
hausted his own fund he will live on other
people’s substance; he will rehash old
comedies, frirbish old novels, whitewash
the anecdotes of past centuries. He will
devour your libraries; he will swallow the
quays. He must have ideas,, anecdotes,
mots , pleasure, notoriety, money. Let us
make haste; the question is to be celebra
ted. Once celebrated we have a market
value; once with a market value we are
rich ; once rich we are free. Free 1 This
is the dream of every minute—a dream
which can never be realized, for the news
paper is in a hurry; the theatre cannot
wait; we will sit down, two of us, to the
task; we will be three at it; we will sit up
all night. Where will you find strength
enough? We will drink coffee. Where
will you find inspiration ? We will drink
absinthe. Go on, human brains; pour out
pages, phrases,lines; turn a hundred times
daily, evolve on yourself, swell like a sponge,
squeeze yourself like a lemon until you
suddenly dry, until madness shakes you
like a tree in the fields, until paralysis
supervenes, until idocy comes, and death
ends all.

We have published the celebrated medical adver*

tieement of Dr. H. T. Hslmbold. Previous to doing

It is our custom to examine everything thoroughly
ifhich we offer through our columns, and to refuse aU
that we cannot commend. Now, as our readers know
we never do anything by halves, they can readily In

action, but we examined for ourselves, and no money
In the world could buy one inch of the Church Union
to eommend It. Precisely the same course we pur
sued towards HBLMBOLD’S BUCHU. We had
seeh It everywhere; It haunted our vision on rockj
mount ain, and curbstone ; in the cars, on steamboats,-
and by the wayside, we saw this omnipresent specific
advertised. Wo never gave it a thought—never con-_
damned it, never commended it; did not rnsh In the
face of prejudices, and cry out quack I quack 1 Wjp
knew nothing of it; had other, and wo thought, more
important subjects for contemplation, than this won

erful medicine. So when it came up for our conatd
eration, we determined to Investigate for
we do lu theology, so do we In medicine —ajMp
ask “ What does Doctor so-and-so think, or say, or
surmise?” If it is wrong, oil the world may espouse, yet
let our right hand forget its cuuning, and our tongue
cleave to the roof of our mouth, if wo waver one atom
in our devotion. If it be right, not even the fact that
a host commend, and a fortune Is being made out of it,
•hail keep us from fidelity to it. For thero he many
men so mean in this world that they will never advo
cate a good thing if anybody gets a good living by it.
We know of men who won’t hear Hbbbt Waid
Bbbchbb preach, because be lives in a bt own stone
front, and manages to keep the wolf from the door,
quite easily. Just so with Dr. Helxbold ; because
he Is making a fortune by his enterprise, we cannot
bend ourselves to the mean task of condemnation and
wholesale slander. There is something about the man
you like at once. He is no quack. A quack is an em
piricist, who tampers with disease, by applying reme
dies he knows nothing about. Dr. Hblmbold is an
educated man ;he is frank in every respect; readily
lays before you the ingredients or vegetable compounds
of bis medicine. The very processesof distillation are
patent; there is no diabolical decoction or compound
ing of elements that are vile, and, of course, secret
Everything is open and above board ; what he does
he knows ; you cannot he in hie establishment three

what he is abont. All the world may know that the
medicine he sells so largely all over the world is the
very best diuretic known. It is in strict accord
ance with the text at the head of this article. It is
but the leaf of a shrub or tree, gathered by the wild
Hottentots, and has been known for many years.
Many others have used, and bear ample testimony to
its usefulness. We dare any unprejudiced physician
to test its virtues and not yield to its superior merit.
There are other ingredients, as Us advertisement
shows. And now having a good thing, devoted to it
with an enthusiasm Which bespeaks honesty at once,
what can we say, what need we say* The diseases
treated are, some of them, peculiar and fearful; hut
dM our Bavlour shrink from the loathsome leper
because the world did? The BUCHTJ is a specific
remedy, and ought to go over all this world, if it is
what any scientific man can prove it to blessing.
Believing it to be a blessing, we have allowed it place,
vid shall do It again, and for any and every good
thing. Asa toad or a viper, would we shrink from er
ror or evil, Whether of Ghnrch or Btate; bnt every
good thiag we advocate. Let the insane man who
cries out quack at everything medicinal, pause, reflect,
and come to his senses. Quackery is empirical, but
such Is not the BUCHTJ: nor of sueh is the enterpris

because he wields right. Success to the BTJOHU.

(Uled to effect a cure. All who have used it
cheerfully tell their afflicted friends ot it, as a sure and
certain cure for chills and fever. Any one suffering
from the chills would consult their own interest by
sending to a drug store and buying a bottle. It Is
pleasant to take, compared with others, and will be
certain to cure all cases of fever and ague or chills anc

hr all parts of the country, to be the most surprising
and effective remedy for certain diseases of whicl
they have any knowledge.
AU other Compounds or Syrups of this root have
hitherto frilled to command the sanction of the Facui

contain noxious ingredients, which neutralize the good
effects of the Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes injure the
health of the patient. It is not so with HURLEY’S
"preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extraot of the root, and
'will, on trial, he found to effect a certain and per
fect cure of the following complaints and diseases:
