Onoe I found a little birdlioR,—
Ou my doorstep.—resting low—
Which its last sad flight had taken,
O’ er the wintry held «»f snow:—
And it never stirred, or fluttered;—
Made uo effort to have fled,
When I pnt my hand upon it—
For the wee,—sweet,—thing was dead.
Little birdling!—Whither wandered,
In this dreary world alone?
Wherefore lingered,—till the storm king,
Hayished evety teiup’ rate done?
Did s’ l thou think twas summer always.
In this land of bees and flowers?—
Knew ye not, that stern old Winter
Hath its freesm g,- killing hours?
Little birdling?—There are ethers«
Who nave felt the chilling blast
When a weary,—and s wandering
In the wiutery age: - at last.
Thon hast died,—while others linger
On life ’s dreary,—storm-tost sea,

And a sleeping:—just like thee.

"N ot the least o f them oonfd fall,
But ’ tw*»snoted, far above ns,

And uiy soul was filled with awe.

arbitration dealt with 310 cases, all
but half-a-dozen of which were ac

Yet Mr. Mann acknowledges that
there is soma complaint of the court,
and that workingmen are not en

probably, that like official machinery
