They " rose from poverty by the force of mind alone, and now stand foremost in the rank of great re.en in the world.

gander be in company, which he almost uniformly is, the crow has his labour in
ain. Notwithstanding the advantages of flight and superior canning, the honest vigilance and determined bravery of the former are too much for him. His attempts to approach, however cautiously conducted, are promptly met. and all his tricks rendered unavailing by the fierce movements of the gander, whose powerful blows the crow seems to be well aware might effectually disable him. The first time I witnessed such a scene, I was at the side of the creek, and saw on the opposite shore a goo-e with her goslings beset by a crow: from the apparent alarm of the mother and brood, it seemed to me they must be in great danger, and I called to tin; owner of the place, who happened to be

Nothing could exceed the cool impudence and pertinacity of the crow, who, perfectly regardless of my shooting, continued lo worrv
