At dusk toady .is abroad, collecting his sup per, and a fine banquet he enjoys. Some times he s.ees a moth lingering on a brick, wall, contemplating the morrow, when it shall deposit on the lindens all the!eggs it has brought to this market, and thinking how prosperous every thing will look when two millions cater pillars occupy every spray of the shade trees. Toady is at the wall in an in stant, and, with a clumsy leap and a lightning thrust of his tongue, he takes in mothy and the whole caterpillar colony at once. No linden leaves for that family. It was the sparrow's busi ness to eat this moth, but of course that little humbug is nowhere to be seen, for he is on his roost. The moth had been flying about under his nose all day, but he was too much occupied with bis own noise to give any attention to anvthine else. After toady has swallowed the moth; he goes and sits on the brick walk, and you cab see his tongue dart ing out every instant, but can not see what he is getting perhaps pissmires, for he frequently goes to the ant when he is hungry. Another day, however, brines sorrow to toadv. As hn is half burrowing in a cool place in the grass, me lawn-mower comes aiong ana tne cruel knives disembowel him with a stroke as lightning-like as that which brings him his own food.

Whilst thus occupied, Hart, who in private life was known as J. M. Sutherland, became a victim of strong drink; he lost his position as a senato rial orator, and was going to the bad rapidly.
