      My dear Sir:

      Please accept my thanks for a copy of the first publication of Birds. Please enter my name as a regular subscriber. It is one of the most beautiful and interesting publications yet attempted in this direction. It has other attractions in addition to its beauty, and it must win its way to popular favor.

      Wishing the handsome little magazine abundant prosperity, I remain

      Yours very respectfully,

      Please mention BIRDS when you write to advertisers.

      LITTLE BOY BLUE.

      Boys and girls, don’t you think that is a pretty name? I came from the warm south, where I went last winter, to tell you that Springtime is nearly here.

      When I sing, the buds and flowers and grass all begin to whisper to one another, Springtime is coming for we heard the Bluebird say so, and then they peep out to see the warm sunshine. I perch beside them and tell them of my long journey from the south and how I knew just when to tell them to come out of their warm winter cradles. I am of the same blue color as the violet that shows her pretty face when I sing, Summer is coming, and Springtime is here.

      I do not like the cities for they are black and noisy and full of those troublesome birds called English Sparrows. I take my pretty mate and out in the beautiful country we find a home. We build a nest of twigs, grass and hair, in a box that the farmer puts up for us near his barn.

      Sometimes we build in a hole in some old tree and soon there are tiny eggs in the nest. I sing to my mate and to the good people who own the barn. I heard the farmer say one day, Isn’t it nice to hear the Bluebird sing? He must be very happy. And I am, too, for by this time there are four or five little ones in the nest.

      Little Bluebirds are like little boys—they are always hungry. We work hard to find enough for them to eat. We feed them nice fat worms and bugs, and when their little wings are strong enough, we teach them how to fly. Soon they are large enough to hunt their own food, and can take care of themselves.

      The summer passes, and when we feel the breath of winter we go south again, for we do not like the cold.

      THE BLUE BIRD.
