GOLD BIRDS 



"I can wash, sir, I can spin, sir, 

 I can sew, and mend, and babies tend." 



But there is no one to tell us whether the bird copied the master, 

 or the reverse. Probably the strain is original with both, since 

 the Oriole of the continent, which Von Flowtow probably would 

 have heard, is in a family distinct from Icteridse to which our 

 Orioles belong.
