The editor of "Loudon's Magazine," in a paragraph appended to this article, says: "We have examined the Wrens' nests sent; their staple materials are moss, feathers, and hair. Into the moss on the exterior of the nest are woven a more or less perfect but feeble frond or two, and separate pinnae as well of Aspidium Filix-Mas, and leaves of apple, elm, and oak trees.
Here is a new harvest; the old SICKLES are still here; but the hands that wielded them ! "Steady!" answers the Herr General; profoundly aware of all that, but averse to words upon it. Fancy Loudon's astonishment, on the third day: "While we have sat consulting how to attack him, there is he, unattackable, shall we say?"
"It's a pity they couldn't have had their mine on the other side," remarked Kate. "Dat's so, Miss Kate," said Miles, gravely. "I reckon dey didn't know about de creek's gittin' up so often, or dey'd dug dere mine on de oder side." Harry and Kate laughed and drove on. They soon reached Mr. Loudon's woods, but found no wood-cutters.
August 15th, 1831. In your edition of Montagu's "Ornithological Dictionary," just published, you say speaking of the Wren "An anonymous correspondent of Loudon's 'Magazine of Natural History, &c. &c.;" and you remark, "There can be no doubt of these supposed 'cock- nests' being nothing more than unfinished structures of paired birds; otherwise, the story would require the support of very strong evidence to render it credible."
'Better surrender to Christian Austrians, had not you? Loudon's Artillery is not come up, it is only struggling on from Glatz; Soltikof of his own has no Siege-Artillery; and Loudon judges that heavy-footed Soltikof, waited on by an alert Prince Henri, is a problematic quantity in this enterprise.
This of Bunzelwitz is his last card; this is now his one stronghold in the world: we need not say if he is vigilant in regard to this. From about the fourth day, when his engineering was only complete in outline, he particularly expects to be attacked. On the fifth night he concludes it will be; knowing Loudon's way. And horse and foot, every man marches out, and stands ready under arms.
Loudon's own table is furnished from Frankfurt; no other Austrian man's: all others have to shift how they can.
In Neisse are abundant Magazines: living upon these, Friedrich intends to alarm Loudon's rearward country, and draw him towards Bohemia. As must have gradually followed; and would at once, had Loudon been given to alarms, which he was not. Loudon, very privately, has quite different game afield.
A correspondent in Loudon's Magazine of Natural History, states that in the neighbourhood of Coventry, there is a superstitious belief, that in the event of the death of any of the family, it is necessary to inform the bees of the circumstance, otherwise they will desert the hive, and seek out other quarters. Rare Insects.
So if you think that by bidin' here you can see more of the House and the policies, ye're wrong, Mr. McCunn. It can't be allowed, for we're no' ready for ye yet. D'ye understand? That's Mr. Loudon's orders.... Now, would it not be a far better plan if ye went back to Glasgow and came back in a week's time? I'm thinking of your own comfort, Mr. McCunn." Dickson was cogitating hard.
