THE BUTTERFLY’S WINGS Willie had come to visit his cousin Ada, and they both Were walking in the garden one fine morning, when a gay butterfly flew around them, attracting Ada’s notice by its brilliant colors of various hues. “Oh! whfit a ,beautiful butterfly,” she ex claimed. “I’ll catch it!” cried Willie; and instantly taking off his cap, he pursued it as it flew from flower to flower. “Oh 1 Willie, pray don’t; you will hurt it,’’ cried Ada, running after him, and laying hef hand on Willie’s arm. But Willie took no no tice; like many other boys, he thought only of gratifying his own desire, regardless of the pain he might cause the poor butterfly. _ At length he brought it to the ground; too much injured to fly again, and then taking it by its downy wings, he ran to Ada, exclaiming, “ Here it is! caught at last; look, Ada 1” “Poor little thing—-What A pity!” “ Tush, Ada! don’t make duch a fuss. But, look, all the color is gone from its wings, it’s no use now,” and he threw it on the ground im patiently. “Ohf Willie, why leave it half dead? Sec! It is trying to crawl alone; poor little thing I I’ll put you out of misery.” So. saying, Ada set her foot upon it, and covered it; gravel ; then, taking her little hoe, she. Went towork at the weeds, sighing to hereeTf,' “I wonder how Willie could be so cruel 1” ' Ada was a loving, gentle child; and so she could not bear to see any thing put to unneces sary pain. Willie was : naturally lively and thoughtless, and dften acted more from impulse than any vicious motive. "Willie,” said Ada, as though she wished to find some excuse for his conduct, “You did not know that what looks like dust on the butterfly’s wings are feathers, did you?” ' “No, exclaimed Willie, looking at his fingers. “Who told you that these are feathers, Ada?” “ Mother did. I will fetch you the magnifier, and we will go Into the arbor, and then you can look at the dust on your fingetS through it.” “ Oh, Ada! I had no idea that butterflies were so beautiful,” said Willie, after he had examined them some time. “Everything God has made is beautiful, Willie; and don’t you think Me will be dis pleased with us if we destroy wantonly what he has made ?” * * ~ "A butterfly is such a little' thing, Ada, I don’t think God cares for them.” “Oh, Willie 1 I’m sure God. cares for all his works; for in the Testament we read that ‘not a sparrow falleth to the ground without his no tice.*” 1 . .! “The boys'at school don’t think.any thing of chasing butterflies, Ada; they, would laugh if you said it would hurt them. Do you really think they feel pain ?” “ Certainly they cfo, Willie; don’t you think it would hurt you if any strong man were to take yon by the hair, and ‘drag you about ? Or, suppose some rough boy knocked down your dove as it flew, ana then Meld it up by the wings and pulled—-—” “Stop, stop, Ada!” interrupted Wilde; “if any hoy. dared to use my dove so, I don’t know what I should do.” And he'jumped, up and looked quite fierce for a minute. “Bat, ’Ada, my dove is much larger than a butterfly,” ar gued Willie, not willing to be convinced by his cousin. “Willie, you ought to know that everything can feel, however small; and as God has made his creatures to enjoy themselves, we must not put them to pain-” Then said Willie, with a sigh— 1 it you know so much, Ada t” “Mother teaches me, Willie; and Bhe often says it is the duty of every one to alleviate suf fering as much.as possible, and by no means to give the least unecessary pain!” "I wish I had some one to teach me, Ada; but my mother is dead, and father is always out; so i never thought about these things till butterfly, Tda,>^ mSar never eW another Ada threw her arms around Willie's neck and whispered, • And when you kneel to God in prayer.

My little daughter sat silent while busy at h l fcmf'tv 7 8he J said > t lih a sober W th! f mornifi f. when I was at Miss W. s, she ottered me an acorn. Now if I had taken it and planted it, I should have had an oak-tree some day, shouldn't I ?” And after J ‘UWtIv shu said with a sigh, "Bat I didn’t take the acorn. ” 8 * you , aTe not the only one Who has failed to have an oak for want of takm K an acorn.” ■ ° Sec, though it be an oft-told tale, how tiny circumstances affect great events; see the sha dows of the magnificent forest-king, how de lightful, how secure from the burning summer hcat—not for a day nor a year merely, but for ages. Some hand planted that tree, —one, perhaps a baby, took the aeorn. The things of beauty and strength, which are or maybe composed of its noble timber, the sturdy ship which defies the waves,' is, through this good gift of God, made the thing she is ; and even the cheerful firesides round which wo so love to linger, are all proofs, each in their way, that somebody took the acorn. This little lesson is, in its application, so wide, so various, that I hardly know where it begins or ends. Every good impulse, each word Of kindly ,js6unsel, even our failures apd mistakes, may be to us the acorn which, takefi, planted and cultivated, may make us,,like the oak, 4 in a spi ritual sense—trees meet for the garden of God. ! There are, in every human life, times when little turning points occur. Acorns are offered; refuse them, pass them by, and in after years memory looks back, and says, in bitterness of isoufc “ I did not take the acom !” — Nat. Ban. I AWOIfcD’TO BOYS AND GIRLS ABOUT f ORDER. Little friends, put the things right hack in their proper places. Never leave things all about helterskelter, topsy-turvy— never. When you use any article—.hoe, shovel, rake, pitch- 5 fork, axe, hammer, tongs, boots or shoes, books, slates, pencils, writing apparatus, pins, thimbles, pincushions, hefedlbs, work, Iraskete, kitchen [furniture, every article of housewifery or hus ibandry, no matter what it is—the very moment lyoufhave done using it,, return it to its place. Be sure to, have a special place for everything, a place for everything, and everything in its place. Order, order; perfect order is the watch word—heaven’s first law. How much precious time is saved, (aside ft-om vexation) by ob serving order—systematic regularity! Young friends, begin early to keep things straight iff' their proper place; study neatness, order economy, sobriety,—everything just, honest., pure, lovely, and of good report. STUDY OF PEKSONAL PECULIARITIES. Children have a strong sense of physiognomy,, and this instinct, if vivid, and if left to take its own course, very readily, and especially in the [female mind, becomes allied with unamiable or; even malign sentiments; and its ripened form constitutes an order of character remote from; whatever is lovely and benevolent. Now, in any such case, instead of preaching: charity in aforroal manner, oriemight endeavor to put the keen, observing instinct upon.another' trackand py directing the shrewd eye to more: broad characteristics, partly comic, partly pic turesque, give innocent occupation to a faculty that will be sure to find its objects. It is certain that while malevolent or chilling, sentiments almost in variably connect themselves with a keen sense of personal peculiarities, when' this power of discrimination takes its rarige only within a narrow cirpje, as upon the individuals:’ of a neighborhood, on the contrary, bland and kindly feelings, and. a disposition to find some thing good under every form of humanity, is the usual, if not qonstant ! aceompaniinentof,the very same faculty, when brought to bear upon the wide varieties of human'iiature, -in all classes of society, in all'- countries, 'and all times. 1 ’None; are more indulgent toward their'fellows, hone assimilate more readily with persons and modes dew to them, none walk about the world'with a broader preparation of comprehensive charity, none are so free from petty jealousies and sour evil surmises, none so exempt from splenetic prejudices, as those who have a quick eye to catch the dramatic and the picturesque in human character, and whose, imagination' teems with whatever of this ,soft may be furnished by ,trak vel and converse with the world, or by history and antiquarian lore. The scrutiny of human nature on a small scale is one of the most dan gerous of employments; but the study of it on a large scale is one of ,the safest and most salu brious;—lsaac Taylor. , ; , ; ‘ Perhaps you fancy your shape." You do look comfortable and jolly.* 1 But as a'physiologist, I must find fault with you. Obesity, like emacia tion, is a sort of disease—-unfavorable to health and long life. This warm weather makes you pant and per spire. I met one of your number down on tbe beacb, the other day. It was a warm afternoon. He was very uncomfortable. We stopped to chat a moment, when he exclaimed: " “I would give ten thousand dollars to be re duced to 150 pounds. 1 pant, wheeze, and sweatpant, wheeze, and sweat, every time I stir,” and looking earnestly into my face, he said, "Doctor, what can you do for me; what can I take ? My family doctor tells me he can give me something that will whittle me down ; do you think it can be done ? “ Oh, yes,” I replied; “nothing is easier ; but it is quite unnecessary to take, my medicine. Suppose, sir, you have a very fast horse, much in the condition of yourself, and some doctor were to propose to reduce his weight with medicine what would you say ?” “ I should tell him that 1 could reduce his ■weight by reducing the amount of his food.” . “ Just so; and you would be quite right. Al low me to commend the same practice to your self. Reduce the quantity of your food one quarter, and-I venture to say that fn a' month yon will weigh from 5 to 10 pounds less than now. At the end of the first month, reduce the amount of 'your food another quarter. Within three or six months you will find yourself light er by 20 to 50 pounds. Your: digestion will be much healthier, your respiration freer, and your activity and endurance greatly increased.” “Bat,” said he, “I don’t eat half as inuch as some thin men whom I know.” “ yhjs is not improbable, and I presume their excessive eating keeps thenrthin, as with your tendency, excessive eating produces fat. If they were to reduce the quantity of their food, : they would, like yourself tend toward the normal standard—they would gain in weight while you would lose.” “But how is He promised to try it, and started on. In a horse-ear the other day, I met six corpu lent, uncomfortable men, all'l'quite sure. to die prematurely. Every one of them might, in six or twelve months, be reduced to the normal standard, and enjoy a degree of health and ac u -“° which he is now a stranger. Is any physiological statement more self-evident than .r,f vfej y person eats more than he needs ? But, ’’exclaims some fat young woman, who would “give the world; to be in good shape, go hungry and faint ever.”’ _ This remark shows you have never tried' what I have suggested. It is only the great eater who is troubled with hunger and “goneness.”. If you would reduce the quantity of your food, even one-half at once, after*three days you will not suffbr from faintness or hunger., The mail who eats temperately of unstimiilating food, rarely knows the sensation of hunger. In the light of these undeniable statements, how silly the practice, common among.gifls, of swallowing acids, and other killing things; and among men, steeping.in tobacco, to reduce the flesh. -,*; ; i... " I have personally known scores of young TALKS ABOUT HEALTH. BY DTO LEWIS; M. D. SutfMfiut ffwsiftgtmiltt and dtMpligl. Women whose health has been ruined by drink ing, vinegar, or eating chalk and other indiges tible things, all to take away their fat. And I have known a still greater number to ruin themselves with corsets, in the hope of keeping themselves comely and in shape. I have met hundreds of fat men who were be smeared and saturated with tobacco ju'ice—ob jects of disgust to all beholders, a terror to de cent housekeepers, peregrinating stench-pots, and all to keep their flesh down. My poor, dear, fat simpletons, allow me to prescribe for you. , Else early; exercise much, particularly in the open air; bathe frequently, rubbing the skin very hard ; but most important of all, eat plain, coarse food, and reduce the quantity until you find yourself growing thinner two or three pounds per week. Your sluggishness, short breath, and other discomforts will soon leave you, and you will become bright, clear-headed, and happy. —lndependent ANCIENT TELEGRAPHING. : The communication of intelligence by the electric telegraph, now come into use at the East, recalls an interesting circumstance of an cient history. Compare it with the mode em ployed lately in sending news to Constantino-* pie from Ephesus,, that the railway was com pleted to the latter place from Smyrna, The ancient message was dispatched over the same route. - , ’; “When Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, was prosecuting her pious researches in Jerusalem, she caused a series of towers to be. built along the sea-coast from Tyre to Con stantinople, arid when she had effected what she;’; and-the Christians of the fourth century regarded ! as her great' discovery, the uncovering of tbo beams of wood in the pit near Calvary, which; she believed, for some reason which we may well doubt, fo befthe wood of the dross of Christ, she ‘telegraphed’the 1 ' account of the discovery to her son in! Byzantium. A fire blazing on the hill of A era sent the intelligence to the hill at Eamah, the city of Samuel, and thence it flew to the hill of Samaria, where the city of Oriiri wiis then splendid in its Roman decora tions. They saw it from far-off Carmel, and lit’ their fires to tell the news to those who watched on the spur of Lebanon that goes down to the sea of Tyre, and so it flashed slong the shore: by Brirytus arid Tripoli, and Laodicea of Syria, and the strange story was dropped from the line at Antioch, then the most lordly and mag nificent city in the world. ' It crossed the battle’ plain of Issus; it blazed along the Tarsus. It crossed the hills above Philadelphia,;it leaped; the : mountain passes about Colosse,; it lit with starlike radiance the waters of the Archipelago as it went from hill to hill by Thyatira and Pergamos, and over Ida, ‘many fountained Ida,’and the plains of Troy. From the sum mit of high Olympus (Olympus in Asia) the inhabitants of,the new city of Constantine saw the flash of the expected message, and their shouts and hymns 6f thanksgiving in the mid streets answered the enthusiastic rejoicings of the people in Jerusalem.” The towers of He lena stand in mournful ruin all along the route of that dispatch. It-would not be surprising if the wires of Morse’s invention are some time affixed to the walls of those very towers. There would be; singular -fitness Iw this, and the mind would he irresistibly directed by the, coincidence; to. the message which Professor Morse himself caused to be the first sent over the first wire established,; (that, he ween Baltimore and Wash ngton,) giving to God the glory of. the grand achievement of modern times. - —— • TURNING' SUDDENLY GREY. The;; hair of ; Maty?JAntoinette, . Queen of France, turned grey daring the first* night of de tention of her husband, Louis X VI. Jiy the re volutionists. Dr. Darnell thus explains this phe nomenon:—Grief, fear',''and other emotions',” says he, “are well known to alter the color of the secretions, and such mental conditions are known also to have been the proximate causes of sud den changes of the hair.” The doctor speaks on* this subject from • his. own: experience; • ;Hg' says, “ The hair of a lady in my own family con nection, from some distressing circumstances which deeply affected her, became grey in a' single night Pear especially seems to have the power of depriving the hair of its color.” We have it on the authority of Dr. Darnell that a medical: man in: London, under the'fear jpf bankruptcy, bad his dark hair so changed in a single night that his friends, failed to recognize him; but the color of his hair returned as his worldly, prospects revived. ~ , NATURAL BAROMETERS Chiekweed is an excellent barometer. When the flower expands fully, we are not to expect rain for several hours; should if continue in that state, no rain : will diiturb the summer’s day.;, When it half- cpnpeals its .miniature flower, the day is generally showery; but if it entirely shuts up, or veils the white flower with its green mantle, lot the traveller pht on his great-coat. The different species of trefoils al waysi contract their leaves at the approach of a storm; so certainly, does this take place, that these plants acquire the name of the husband man’s barometer. The tulip, and several of the compound yellow flowers, all; close before rain. There is a species of wpod-sorrel which doubles its leaves before storms. The bauhinia or mountain ebony, capial, and sensitive plants, observe the same habits.

IMPORTANCE OF SKEEPHUSBANDRY.' The United-States JEconomist , contains an elaborate and well-written article on the impor tance of sheep husbandry to the loyal States, from which we condense.some interesting ideas which are worthy of the'attention of all farmers ': “ For years past the quantity of wool manufac tured in the United States has averaged lull 125 millions-of pounds. "Of this quantity not more than one half has been grown here. While we have, beep exporting grain and provisions to ah immense amount, we-have imported wool from Australia; the. Cape of Good Hope, South America, China, Russia, India, and inshort from every other,’quarter of the globe and.are doing so to-day, though it is an indisputable fact that' no country bn earth is better adapted to sheep husbandry than the North-west. Should the agriculturafist neglect to grow a sufficient quan tity of wheat and corn to supply our home de mand, Id wquld be regarded as a most surprising evidence of jack of enterprise, and yet facilities' of soil and climate are no better for producing com and wheat than they are for the growing of sheep.' vlri Australia and the Cape of Good Hope, where sheep husbandry is carried on ex tensively and at a large profit, the: climate is not so favorable, the soil is barren, and there is no market fir mutton ; while in the West the; soil is rich, the climate dry and cool, arid our large cities flmish a ready market for mutton, at higher prtees than in London and Paris, For years paljfc the people of the West have seen the wool-buyer running through the country eagerto contract for wool “on the sheep’s back.” How much More will they be in the future, when the consumption of wool has increased fifty per cent,, as it isl likely to he I Although the dip of wool will he larger .this year than.uponany former pccasfm, still our Western farmers do not, realize this immense increase of the demand which will be breated/for thisgreat staple ,by the cutting short 1 bf the cottoii supply. We Have at present in the loyal States twenty-five millions of sheep, aric|we believe that this number could be doubled vfithout producing a sufficent quan tity of woobor mutton to supply the demand for the nexj. five years. There is no mystery about sheep .husbandry. All that is required to conduettne business sudeessfully is the exer cise of j|la,in;|bmmori sense; yvhich dictates that 5 all ddteeSt|h!ammals:,(arid shpep in particular), to thrive we|l, require to he well fed, to have plenty of room and to be protected from storms. The soil and fclimate of the North-western-States are admirably adapted toffheep husbandry, arid the farmers if that section- could not possibly’ trim their attention to a ; more profitable hrarifih of agriculture , The sheep best adapted to the production Of worsted are the Leicester and. Gotswold breeds, and can be obtained in Canada to any extent and at reasonable prices. The carcasses,are large and the fleeces of long staple, which makes these breeds more valuable both’ for the clip alid mutton.’.’ " REMOVINI d HOHEY FROM THE HITES, Two years ago we tried the following exper iment on abi r e gf bees, from which it was de sired to take |he honey: Having bored a bole near the top of the hive, it .was then inverted, and an empty box of the, size ' placed over it. Both were thet lifted into an empty tub, intp; which water whs slowly poured, , allowing time for the liquid 4 penetrate through the holes, but not too fast, in prder to avoid drowning the bees; As' rose among th'e combs,-the, bees found tljeir way .up into the empty.box,' which was then lifted off and placed on thel bee stand. The box, full of water arid combs, was then lifted gradually out of the tub, the water escaped; through the holes which it entered. The wholn operation occupied but a : few minu tes, and hardly any bees'were lost. • The;short tiinfe .necessarily prevented the honey from be coming dissolved, and,;as the greater number of the cells am closed up, there is really little danger of sucl loss being sustained. After the water was dra vn off, it was found to be only slightly sweet these combs soon became dry, and the honey was in way injured.’ ; USEFUL AND VALUABLE [ , DISCOVERY! ' Great Discovery!
