,HE Canary bird, from its beautiful plumage, elegant 

 shape, singular capacity, and attractive familiarity, as 

 well as from the charms and melodies with which it 

 enlivens our rooms, has always been agreeable to the fancier, 

 and may, emphatically be called the real " cage bird." Some 

 of them we find melancholy, others cheerful ; some angry, 

 others peaceful ; some intelligent, others dull ; somfc indus- 

 trious, others idle; some greedy, others frugal. But the/ havo 

 chiefly made themselves beloved by their animated, paverfdU 

 and varied song, which lasts almost throughout the ''/bole 

 year, and with some even during the time of moulting.
