ill,and a faint, whispered warble, usuallymuch broken, but not without sweet-ness. Florence A. Merriam calls theJuncos Little gray-robed monks andnuns, and also says: The tsip ofthe Junco is unmistakable and moreoften heard than his song, but he hasboth a trill and a low, sweet song asunpretentious and cheery as the friend-ly bird himself. ONE DAY. As fell the leaves, one day, one day, A crimson palace fashioned I; My leafy ridges on the grass Were walls wherein a king might pass, My rooftree was the autumn sky,One day, one day. As fell the rain, one day, one day.My sodden walls it stained, it stained; Out of the north the cold wind crept. My palace halls were weather-swept,A yellow scar alone remained.One day, one day. As burst the buds, one day, one day,I heard the happy bluebird sing; Out of the south a zephyr stole,I sought my wound, I found it whole:There is for every heart a spring,Some far-off day. —George H. Maitland. The beautiful is as useful as the MQQtMl.—Victor IIu^o.
