Animals liko inon, aro often endly
misjudged. Soino nro praised nnd hon
ored for Imaginary virtue?, which thoy
never possessed ; nnd others aro hated
nnd persecuted, who nro fur better than
tbolr reputation. This Is especially
thoenso with nniiiiats which nro not
directly useful to man. Ho seen every
virtue In thoso ho has domesticated,
because they render lilin manifold ser
vices; but tho poor, nocturnal animals,
which aro forced to go In scnrcli of
their food under shelter of darkness,
whoso llfo Is unknown to lilm, and
whoso form is not pleasing to his eyo
thoso ho views with disgust and perse
cutes with unrelenting severity. Popu
lar legends connect them with evil
spirits ; superstition endows them with
marvellous but malignant powers, nnd
gross Iguorauco ascribes to them n
thousand misdeeds and griovotiscrlincs
of which they nro not only innocent,
but utterly Incapable.
And yet It Is not only tho duty of
man, but nil-Important to his success in
garden, field nnd forest, that ho should
know which aro his friends nnd which
his foes among tho counties! hosts by
which ho Is constantly surrounded. IIo
may kill his best friends, thinking
them his enemies, as tho Indians do,
when they slaughter mercilessly tho
llttlo birds, which wo Import nt consid
erable cost nnd entertain with lavish
hospitality, or ho may admtro and
cherish beautiful creatures, which In
reality nro either utterly useless, or ac
tually his worst enemies. Nor can ho
over hopo to bo as successful In lib crut
sades against really dangerous foes as
tho agents nro which naturo herself has
appointed for tho purpose. All tho
professional rat-catchers of England do
not destroy ns many r.tts in a year as
tho owls of a single county do in a
month; to say nothing of the feo they
demand, whllo tho owls do their work
without charge. Tho dlfllculty becomes
still greater, wheu tho enemy is almost
invisible, as Is tho enso with many
worms nnd maggots, which escape our
observation, whllo tho marvellously
sharp cyu of the bird or tho Insect, that
feeds on them , sees them at n glance.
Thus a renowned naturalist, Eabre, of
Avignon, noticing that a certain wasp
always choso a largo black beetle, In
order to uso Its fat body as u depository
for its eggs, was very desirous to pro
euro two of thoso unlucky creatures.
Tomnkoquito suro of tho species, ho
managed first to rob tho wasp several
times of its prey on Its return to tho
nest; but In ten minutes, on nn aver
age, tho Indefatigable wasp invariably
brought a now victim homo. Then tho
professor himself went on his hunt,
armed with his supremo intelligence
innd all tho Ingenious contrivances do
Ivlsed by man's wit for tho purpose,
Vhat was tho result? After two day's
Incessant work In vinoyards and clover
field-), searching through meadows nnd
hedgo-rows, btono-heaps mid wasto
strips of land, ho returned, crestfallen,
with threo wretched specimens In buch
a etato of. mutilation that no wasp
would hiivo thought them worth catch
ing! Jlen speak much of tho calm peaco
which reigns in Nature! Peace, for
sooth ! It is nil war, incessant, merci
less warfare, throughout all tho realms
of Nature. Men Ho on tho soft, green
moss, under tho dim shadow of wldo
spreading branches, near tho bank of a
purling brook, at tho hour when tho
great Pan Is asleep, and all seems peaco
and harmony to them, lint nothing Is
more treacherous than this impression.
That tiny, bright-colored bird, which
tho eyo follows with delight as it Hits
from branch to branch, ever and nnon
uttering n sweet, low note, Is bent upon
murder, nnd Is all eagerness to catch
the golden llles sunning themselves on
tho green leaves. Tho wood-pecker,
whoso busy, merry knocking is heard
from afar, feasts upon worms and bee
tles which ho tears ruthlessly from their
dark homes ; nnd tho beautiful dragon
flics, which dash merrily, and as If in
mere wanton sport, across tho bright
water, nro even then purmlng their
own brethren with hideous voracity. Is
tho Ibis, whom tho old Egyptians wor
shiped as a dtlty, is tliu stork, viewed
by thousands with a feeling of nlmott
sacred nwo ; Is tho swallow, to whom wo
grant a homo under our own roof-tree,
less of a murderer than tho buzzard
whom wo nail ignomlnlously to our
barn-door, or tho molo whom wo kill
without remorse, whenever wo meet
him on Ids nightly wanderings V
Among tho prejudices cherished by
tho masses against harmless animals,
few nro Htiongor than that felt nlmost
universally against huts, arising pioba
bly from tho simple fact that they aro
children of tho night, and forced to car
ry on their search after food in dark
ness. It may be, however, that their
peculiar hldeousiiess has given addi
tional strength to this feeling, for tho
Jewish legislation already declared
them unclean and accursed, and tho
Greeks borrowed their wings for tho
harpies, ns Christians have done for tho

spring nrouses them from their long
winter sleep, which they cnoy hanging
by their hind-feet, head down, nnd tho
wholo body carefully wrapped' up In
tho wldo cloak of their wings, they be
gin their night hunts. A dozen fat

hungry member of ono vnrlcty, niul
sixty to seventy houso-fllcs for ono of
another kind. All night long they
pursuo with Indefatigable energy every
variety of bcello und moth, lly and bug
and enjoy most of all thoso which do
tho greatest Injury to our fruit-trees
nnd cereals. Even tho only really for-
mldablo member of their race, tho vam
pire, Is much maligned; a gigantic bat,
accused of sucking tho blood of man
nnd beast, it is strictly confined to a
small district in tiio tropics, and even
thero occurs but rarely.
As bats nro tho indefnllgablo hunters
of tho air, so moles nro Incessantly nt
work underground. At tlio first glanco
they show their admirable adaption for
n llfo beneath tho turf. Their thick,
round body, with its elose, silky fur-
coat ; their sharp pointed snout, with a
long, cxqulsitely-scnsltlvo trunk, llko
that of a mlnlaturo elephant ; their
broad, spnde-llko feet ; their almost In
visible eye, liid under a forest of thick
hairs, ond tho nbsenco of an external
ear all fit them for their active llfo
and flerco warfaro In utter darkness.
They move In sandy soil nt least ns
swiftly as a fish In water, and they nro
truo Ishitiaelltcs, having no friends
among other animals, nor, their mates
alono excepted, among their own kin
dred. Tho common prejudice, howev
er, that they Injuro gardens mid llelds
by gnawing roots, is utterly unfounded.
This is easily proved, fur, as of men,
Urlllat Savarin could say: "Show mo
what you eat, aud I will tell you who
you nro!" so of animals wo can say:
"Show us their leoth, nud we wilt tell
you what they eat!" Tho molo has
not less than twenty-four good sized
teeth ; somo eyo-ti eth, shaped llko
sharp daggers ; others, molar teeth,
resembling a combination of formida
ble saws. Such destructive instruments
aro not given to vegetarians. Never
theless, farmers and gardeners assert
almost unlveasilly that moles nro gran
Ivorous another proof of tho utter
falseness of tho old saying, " Voxpojiu-
li, vox Del." For, next, naturalists
havo examined tho stomachs of moles,
and what did they find? Not a traca
of vegctablo food, but on abuiid.tnco of
half-digested earth-worms, largo quan
tities of hard, brown scales, and horny
shields, and remnants of caterpillars
and worms innumerable. In order to
demonstrato tho fallacy of tho common
prtjudico boyoud all doubt, Elourens,
tho Secretary of tho Academy of Scion
ces, in Paris, put two moles Into acage,
with an nuiplo supply of roots and
beets for their food. Tho next morning
ho found tho roots untouched, but only
ono mole; Tho other had been devoured
by tho survivor ! A few hours later,
tho poor molo showed signs of" weak
ness and exhaustion ; a bird was put
into Ids eago, and instantly tho molo
rushod upon tho poor sparrow, discra
bowllcd him, nnd did not rest until ho
had eaten moro than half of ills body.
After Ids repast ho appeared onco moro
plump, aud became qulto lively. The
samo oxperiment was several times re
peated, till ono night tho molo was left
in Its cago with a largo supply of let
tuce, cabbage and beet-roots. Tho next
morning it was found dead ; it had
died of starvation ! Tho only iniury
which moles really do Is caused by
their long passages anil frequent molo
hills, by which roots nro loosened nnd
meadows distlgurcd ; but this stands in
no proportion to tho Incalculable benefit
they bestow upon man by destroying
tho numerous enemies of plants In gar
dens and fields, which dwell under

eyes, especially worms, maggots, astl
so-called molcerickets. Of these they

No nation, so small ns Iceland, has so
largo a literature. Tho number of
printed books amounts to many thous
nnds, and tho number of unprintcd
works, preserved as manuscripts in tho
public libraries of Europe, is nt least
equally great. Nor Is this literature, as
is tho caio with many minor nationali
ties, and with most Colonial communi
ties, mado up of translations, but Is
almost wholly composed of original
works. With tho exception of tho Bi
ble and a few theological works, Homer
and ono moro or two other classics,
Milton, Klopstock, Popo and portions
of Shakcspearo, Byron and Burns, very
llttlo of tho literature of other nations
has been translated Into Icelandic. The
literary story of tho marvellous Island
opens grandly with tho two Eddas.,
Tho older or poetic Edda was written
down from oral tradition bySajmund
Slgfuss-m, n learned priest of tho lllh
century, who had traveled lry various
countriei nf Europe; it is, however, at
least us old us tho 8th century. It con
sists of a scries of alliterative poems In-
olving tho mythology and tho lcgcti-1
dary lorn of tho. North, narrating tho
deeds of Odin, Thor, Tyr and tho other
divinities who, in spllo of tho over
throw of their temples and halldoms,
still Influence our dally lives, as wo tell
of our Tuesdays and "Wednesdays and
Thursdays and Fridays which bear
their names. Siemund's Edda, too,
llko tho early mythological works of
nil races, is filled with moral maxims,
so that an ethical codo might easily bo
complied from it. Tho other Edda,
known as tho proso of younger Edtla,
was complied in tho twelfth century by
Snorro Stuiiese, and It, also, ehltlly
busies itself with tho doings of gods.
" The Wnnilcrhiir Jew."
A rumor comes from n vlllugo near
Antwoip that tho historic "Wandering
Jew" lias been seen in that neighbor
hood. Ho Is reportetl its havlug passed
rapidly through tho market plnco, and
ns having on tho outskirts of tho vil
lage addressed n few words to somo
children, who, bolder than their com
panions, had followed In his path. IIo
was dresucd In worn and dingy nntiquo
garments, carried a long stall', and with
his profuse heard streaming in tho
wind presented such an awo Inspiring
appearance that tho terrified villagers
lied from him in fright. When ho
paused nnd spoko to tho children ho
told them to go back nnd Inform tho
pcoplu that n now ruler had arisen In
Europo, who would bring Belgium.
Holland, and other countries under his
sway, that many btrango vicissitudes
would lio witnessed, nnd that maiiv
prouil heads would bo brought low
On being questioned ns to his namo ho
replied, "Seek not to know. I havo
been hero before In tho past. I shall bo
hero again In the future. Until tho end
of tlmo shall I walk tho earth unceas
ingly." Tho npparltlon then waving
Its hand turned from tho children and
resumed Its plodding walk, nnd dlsnj
pcared In tho distance.
Tho report of this appearance of tho
"Wandering Jew" hns mused great ex
cltemcnt nmong tho believers In tho I
legend, and tho truth of tho story is
credited throughout Belgium. Tho lo
gend of tho Jew who had witnessed
tho crucifixion, and had been condemn
ed to live nnd wander over tho earth
until tho tlmo of Christ's second com.
.lug, originated In tho mlddlo ages, and
can no uaecu hack to tho Chronicle or
tho Abbey of St. Albans, which was
roplcd and continued by Matthew Paris.
This chroniclo relates that in 122Sn cer
tain Archbishop of Armenia Major,
eamo to England on a visit to sacred
places, and whllo enjoying tho hospital

his preseuco being accompanied by de
structive hurricanes. On April 22d, 1771,
nn Individual claiming to bo the "Wan
dering Jew appeared In Brussels, and
told his story to tho common people;
he, however, had changed tho popular
name of his character and called him
self Isaac Iiaqucdcm. This legend has
formed the subject of numerous popular
ballads in the different languages of
Europe, and also of poems, talcs and
novels, by distinguished authors. It
may hero bo remarked, that this curious
myth seems to havo originated iu that
passage of tho Gospel of Ht. John,
twenty-first chapter and twenty-second
verso, where Jesus says of John, "If I
will that ho tarry till I come, what is
that to thco V follow thou me. Then

How Certain Animals I.lrc in Water.
Our readers know that thero tiro two
kinds of respiratory apparatus lungs
which inhale nir, abstract oxygen from
it, and give, In return, chlelly carbonic
acid ; aud gills which absorb the oxygon
dissolved In water, nnd nlso give otr
chlelly carbonic acid, which is moro
rendlly dissolved In waterthantho oxy
gen. Tho apparatus is possessed by
mammals, birds, etc., tho latter by
fishes; and as lungs nro Incapablo of
taking oxygen out of water, and gills
cannot tako It from tho air; or, In o'thor"
words, as lungs cannot breathe water
and gills cannot breathe air, animals
with lungs aro drowned in water, while
fish aro drowned In tho air. A small
number of amphibious animate, how
over, possesses both lungs, and can,
therefore, breathe cither air or water,
and thus live tn both. It has been,
uiwovcr, observed that musk rats and
other swimming animals with lungs
could travel a considerable distance
under ieo without reaching any breath.

long tlmo a problem how they succeeded
In living so long and traveling so far
without having nccesa to tho atmos
phere Tho pioblom has been answer
ed by S. Newhouso, in n work called tho
" Trapper's Guide," from which we ex
tract tho following :
" Musk ruts havo a curious method of
traveling long distances under Ice. In
their winter excursions to their feeding
grounds, which aro frequently at great
distances from their nbodes, thoy tako
in breath nt Mnrtiug, and remain under
water as long ns they can. They rlso to
tho ico nnd breathe uut tho air In their
lungs, which remains in tho bubbles
agnln3t tho lower surfaco of tho Ice.
They wait till this ulr recovers oxygen
from tho water nnd Ico and then tako it
In again, nud go on till tho operation
lias to bo repeated. In this way thoy
travel almost any distance, and live any
length of tlmo under tho ico.
inu iiuiuei stiiiii.'iiiues uihu iiiivuui-
ago of tills habit of the musk rat in tho
following manner:
" When thoniarshtsaiiil ponds whero
tho musk rats abound aro first frozen
over, anil llio ice is thin auu clear, on
striking into their lirusis with his
hatchet, for tho purpose of sotting his
traps, ho frequently ueos a wholo family
pi uni? Into thu water and swim away
under tho lee. Following ono for somu
dlstnnce, ho sec him como up to renew
his breath in tho manner abovo do
scribed. " Alter thu animal has breathed
ngalnst the Ice, and before he has time
to tako It In ngnln, tho hunter strikes
with his hatchet directly over him, and
drives him away from his breath. In
this caso ho drowns In swimming u few
rods; and tho hunter, cutting a holu Iu
tho Ico takes hlui out, Mink, otter und
beaver, travel utidcr tho Ico In tho samo
way ; nnd hunters havo frequently told
mo of taking otters In the manner 1
hnvo described, when tlato animals
