TO AM. ABOUT OSTKI0llK: Wli Call-
uot know wliat this gawky bird, witli
its hapdiazard' feathers, actually has
in it.s mind unless we be ostriches our
Ives; but we may attempt to think its
thoughts by reason ot watching its ac
tions, and actions speak louder than
word.s;whu:h isdesperatelytrueot oilier
two-leggetl creatures besides ostriches.
o,v accordiug t the account of
travelers, this bird when alarmed has
ti way of biding its head; the idea seem
ing to be that it it cannot eethe
pursuer, the pursuer cannot see it. ll
closing the eyes really stopped pursuit,
what a pleasantly easy time this sni
ferer Jroiu woman's whims would
have. Hut troubles do not vanish tints
easily, and we laugh at the poor dunce
i,t a bird, who drcauis that hit has
blotted out the world ami its miseries
just by refusing to see them; yet. there
are other dunces with the saiue num
ber of feet, and they do not all wear
feathers.

therefore, there is no sun, no nothing.
Up to this time I have been dreaming.
