Text Appearing Before Image:
o be as fearless and free asthe air through which they wing their way. The genial rays of the sunshine on their silky plumage, and offer to the ploughmans eye such rich andvarying tints, that no painter, however gifted, could ever imitate them. Thecoppery bronze, which in one light shews its rich gloss, is, by the leastmotion of the bird, changed in a moment to brilliant and deep azure, andagain, in the next light, becomes refulgent sapphire or emerald-green. The bird stops, spreads its tail, lowers its wings, and, with swelled throatand open bill, sounds a call to those which may chance to be passing near.The stately step is resumed. Its keen eye, busily engaged on either side, isimmediately attracted by a grub, hastening to hide itself from the suddenexposure made by the plough. In vain does it hurry, for the Grakle hasseen and marked it for its own, and it is snatched up and swallowed in amoment. Thus does the Grakle follow the husbandman as he turns one furrow after N° 45.
