Hermits are not very common nowadays. Now and then we find an exceptional being who prefers to live away by himself, but the great majority of us not only enjoy, but are absolutely dependent on the society of our fellowmen. Even if our preferences should lead us away from the crowd, we have come to be such helpless beings in these degenerate days, that our very existence hinges upon the frequent visits of the grocer, the butcher, the doctor, and many others. We have fallen far below the independence of our sturdy ancestors who could supply all their simple needs from nature's bounties, with no other help than their own ingenuity.

We all live in colonies great or small, and each member of the colony ministers something to the general good. Of course, there are idlers who are really parasites on the industry of all, but then, we have come to accept them as a matter of course.

Perhaps not for the same reasons, but it is at least true, that this colonizing spirit manifests itself in all animals and plants. Very few of them are hermits, but they, too, like society, and have come to be dependent on their neighbors in more ways than one. The naturalist, as he roams about, is struck by these natural colonies, not founded by some enterprising government to people a new land, but formed by mutual agreement, wherever there are a great many animals and plants living under the same surroundings. The different members of the colony may have very dissimilar tastes, and, perhaps, the mutual agreement may not be very apparent, but they live together whether they will or not. "In union there is strength," as has been said over and over, aud no one appreciates the truth of this saying more than many of our humble animals, who would soon perish if it were not for the protection of some neighbor. The neighbor does not knowingly extend his protection, but he is an unconscious benefactor, nevertheless, and he in turn seeks the shelter of some other protector equally ignorant of his guardianship.

All animals, especially the smaller ones, are hunted down by innumerable enemies. If each one had to shift for himself, he would have a small chance of winning in the struggle for life. But the protection that comes when
