was completely deceived, Always when evening 
drew on, and often during the day, she laid her 
head close to that of the image in the glass, and 
began to doze with great composure and satisfac- 
tion. In a short time she had learned to know 
her name; to answer and come when called on; 
to climb up my clothes, sit on my shoulder, and 
eat from my mouth. I took her with me to sea, 
determined to persevere in her education.”’ And,

possession of an English lady, and with her edu- 
cation, for a Parrot, very complete.
