T—THE TIGER.

FIERCEST of all the beasts of prey,
With eyes that glow like fire,
And glossy hide, who does not dread
The Tiger, yet admire?

U—THE URSINE OPOSSUM.

IN hollow trees the Opossum lives,
And slumbers through the day,
But when the shades of night descend,
Goes forth in search of prey.


A SINGULAR HABIT OF THE WOODCOCK.
