WHERE THE BIRDS GO.

By far the most disastrous of the many destructive agencies that have ever played havoc with our feathered hosts, are the emissaries of the milliner's craft, who, to supply the demands created by the behests of fashion, spare nothing wearing feathers that comes within their reach. The dull-colored flycatchers, the wrens, and even the plainest of the sparrows, as well as the more showy warblers, and the gaily-attired orioles, grosbeaks, and tanagers, are almost equally in quest, while the smaller owls and hawks, various water birds, and especially the plume-bearing egrets and herons, and the snowy, graceful terns, afford a harvest too rich to be neglected.—Our Animal Friends.
