But when I thought of the huge THE BIRDS-NEST IN THE MOON. 211 COWS that were feeding around them ; the uglj hoofsthat might crush them into ruin; in short, when Iremembered the birds-nest in the moon, I trembledand wept. But why weep ? Is there not a specialProvidence in the fall of a sparrow ? It is verypossible that the nest which I saw was not in soprecarious a situation as it appeared to be. Perhapssome providential instinct led the bird herfragile house in the ranker grass, which the kinenever bite, and, of course, on which they would notbe likely to tread; perhaps some kind impulse mayguide that species so as not to tread even on a birdsnest. There is a merciful God, whose care andprotection extend over all his works, who takes careof the sparrows children and of mine. The veryhairs of our head are all numbered. Takk heed that ye despise not one of these little ones ; forI say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold theface of my Father.
