Hark, to the rush of the countless wings! From leafy savert, with startled quack, Mallard, and widgeon, sed canvas-back, Led by a flock of the green-winged tral, They climb, they circle, they swoop, and

Not a moment now but brings a shot; With rapid firing the gun grows hot; Dance the decoys on the dark pool, stirred By the heary plash of a falling bird, The cum shines warm on the red-topt sedge That stretches away from the marah's edges A croaking heron flaps his way

To a sandy point in the outer bay;

A mad-hen soolds from the rushes nigh; A curious sea-gull float on high,

While we wok the dead birds, one by one

The flight is done. The sport is over.

A TESTATOR AND HIS HEIRESS.

(Bret Harte, in Belgravia.) The first intimation given of the scoop tricity of the testator was, I think, in the spring of 1854. He was at that time in possession of a considerable property, heavily mortgaged to one friend, and a wife of some attraction, in whose affections another friend held an encumbering lien, One day it was found that he had secretly dug, or caused to be dug, a deep trap before the front door of his dwelling, into which a few friende, in the course of the evening, casually and fa- miliarly dropped.
