The west winds blow, and, singing low, I hear the glad streams run; The windows of my sou! 1 throw- Wide open to the sun. No longer forward or behind I look in ho|>e or fear; But. grateful, take the good I find, 1 he best of now and here. I plough no more a desert land, To harvest weed and tare; The manna dropping from God's hand Rebukes my paiuful care. I break tny pilgrim staff— I lay A-ide the tot Ing oar; !The angel sought so far away 1 welcome at my door. The airs of spring may never play Among the ripened corn, N'or freshness of the flowers of May- Blow through the autumn morn; Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look Through fringed lids to heaven. And the pole aster iu the brook Shall see its image given ; The w oods shall wear their robes of praise. The south wind softly sigh. And calm, sweet days in golden haze Melt down the amber skv. • Not less shall manly deed and word Rebuke an age of wrong; The gra\ en flowers that wreathe the sword Make not the blade less strong. But smiting band shall learn to heal. To build as to destroy; Nor less my heart for others feel That I the more enjoy. All as God wills, who wisely heeds To give or to withhold.

There is the head small and round, with a large round Lunch of j eves on each side; not single eves. ' like ours, but having many thousands in each bunch, so that the fly can see in a'.l directions at the same time. Tie trunk is long enough to reach to the ground when the fly stands, because its neck is so short it cannot bend it, and. like the elephant, it ha> a trunk or proboscis, by which to lift its food to it- month. The fly's trunk folds back on itself, as you would fold your arm when you touch your hand to your shoulder, or your leg when you draw your feet behind you up to your body. The trunk may le seen in full length by press ing the sides of the living fly with the thumb and finger. It will drop ti.e trunk, so that with the naked eye or a micro scoi*' it can be -eon dis tinctly. The lijs of the proboscis are large and covered with coarse black hair- and when the fly sip liquid- it covers the liquid with its hps :.nd draw? it up into the tube of its trunk, a- the pump draws up the water when we pull down the handle that is. it sucks it up, <>r. as we may sav. it draws it up by suction. When it eats solid food it first throws out a liquid from its trunk to dissolve it. and then it cau suck it up. It is the pinching with these* lips that causes the fly to tease and tickle u> in warm weather, as if we were to take up a small portion of our skin between the thumbnail arid the finger-nail. The flv docs not breathe through its mouth a: 1 nostrils and by lungs, as we do; but it has little breathing holes or pores all aloßg down its sides, covered with a network of lit tle fibei-s—t. e. threads of flesh—to keep out the dust, and one of these little ojmings is l<eated under each wins, which, as you see. is made of little 4ack horny threads, covered with a very thin skin or membrane above and below them. These horny threads are tubes filled with air. which makes the fly lighter and helps it to flv wdh more east and swiftness. The upper surface of the wings is o veivd with black horny l ocks or curved spines; and these too, ma\ be and doubtless are hollo* tubes COUDERSPORT, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1873. j and filled with air. Then the fly has two little thread-like wings, called J balances, under the broad wings, which help it to balance and swing i from side to side, in the same way that you would use your arms if you were walking a crack or the fence, or ! as rope walkers use the long pole to balance and keep from falling. The ; foot is a curious piece of workman ! ship and shows with every other part how God has adapted every part to the wants of the fly and the fly to circumstances around it. Each foot lias a little cushion of hairs upon the bottom, which excludes the air when the fly sets it down, causing the foot to stick to the wall, the ceiling, or the window glass, precisely as the ■ "sucker sticks to the table or the pavement when it is wet and slapped down, and this cushion of "tenent j hairs" enables it to walk upon pol ished surfaces without slipping; but if you throw flour, or chalk, or dust upon the window-glass the fly cannot walk upon it and it is to keep the foot free from dust and to enable the | fly to walk easily that it so often tub- the flat faces of the feet together and upon its body. All flies are ■ covered with hairs and these serve i as combs and brushes for the pulvilli, ■ as the cushions of the feet are called. • | The eggs of the house fly are goner- ' ally deposited upon the leaves and ■ -ten s of plants, w here the larva? w ill find food when they are hatched. A single one is called a lar\ a. In a few ; days after the eggs are laid the larva-. ' or caterpillars, are hatchet! and begin ] to eat as soon as they are born. In 1 : a few days more the body is too large 1 for the skin and it throws it off or 1 • creeps out of it; and beneath there i i> a new and larger one prepared. ! The -kin i> not a part <>f the body, 1 like ours; but is thrown off three or 1 f<ur time- during three weeks of the caterpillar's life, as we would dorp ' off our dress or as our new teeth posh | I out the little old ones. After about three weeks the larva i wraps itself up in its last skin, stop- < eating and goes to sleep for a iVw ; dsn -. This is called the pupa or : sleeping state, because the insect is • wrapped up like a baby in swaddling el'thes. L>uring this time the ant- n- . iuv t-r feelers, the legs, the wings and s the proboscis grow oat; so that when the fly comes out from its old skin it 1 has six long legs, two wing-, twojl little balancers, a proboscis and mam i thousand eyes. Before it had a large 1 mouth, now it has a small month and t a long trunk: then it had short legs j and large fleet, now it La- long, -leu- i tier legs and feet, with cushions on . them: then it had two small eye-. ■ now it has many thousand; then it i had no wings, now it has two broad • wings and two little thread-like : wings beneath them. This makes i the round of the fly's life. First an : egg* then a lan a. or grub, or mag- < got, or skipper—for we give al! tlu se names to it as we find it in wood, or t in meat,or in cheese; then the pupa > or sleeper: then the fly or perfect i insect. Flies are found ail over the . earth and you will be surprised to < know that in some countries of tsouth I America they lay their eggs in the nose and mouth of - me poor, dirty, miserable people while they sleep: and w hen the lan ;e are hatched they cause great suffering and death to the poor wretches. In Africa one kind of fly stings the cattle, causing ( them to die in a few hours. In this country the bot-fly deposits eggs under the skin of cattle, and the gad flv lays its eggs in the nostrils of the sheep; and when the larva? are hatched, the poor animals suffer and sometimes die from the effects. But the house-fly does no harm to man. It does us good when it picks up the crumbs and other waste particle-, that would decay and make the air of our rooms less pure and healthful 1 and when they come in great num bers it is because tlune is much there for them to eat. ty>at Rum did for Mr Brick The celebrated Sum. Brick.of Au gusta. made a speech at the Augusta . Reform Club, which for pathos and humor is n<t vften excelled. It is necessary to note the fact that Mr. i Brie k lost s j ortion of his ik -e s- :r.e r vears since by a operation. In .-occluding his remarks the speak- vT -aid ' \\ hen I think of what I am and what I might have been, ; can well say that rum lias done much for me. Little good and much evil. It has made me a handsome man; it has restrained me from extravagant iiv ing, costly clothing, valuable jewelry, last horses, seaside mansions and yachts. It has prevented me from being called a bloated bond-holder, I may have been called a bloated H>um mer,' but I am guiltless of bonds and stock. It has saved me from paying exorbitant taxes on real estate, and relieved me of the double expense of putting a cupola on my house and putting a house under my cupola. It has relieved me of a family and j home. Washing days are unknown to me and my l ight key awakens no wife and children. It has prevented me from !x ing swindled and robbed. Nobody borrow of me under the garb of prevented friendship. No body attempts to wrest from me j what they know I haven't got—and i the only thing 1 have lost after a series of years is a few inches of mv nose, which I don't miss. Yes. rum has done much for me. You can all sec what ruin has done for ine and let me toll ail within the sound of mv voice, that if you have anything to do with the vile stuff, it may do as \ much for you. Shun the bowl and above all things avoid the first glass. PVRIXG the past ten or fifteen yeai*s much attention has !>een given to the plants ot various countries by paper-makers. Almost any plant will yield paper material; but iu all there is some element which it is more or less costly to remove before j>nper can be profitably made. We have in our own country many plants which do tolerably well. Ti.e com mon rug-weed— Ambrona srteMKK /oh'a —has been rather extensively used the past year or two and promises to hold its own pretty well. But the plant which has become most popular in this connection is a gra>s—/.yo- .-7 >rt- —known in the trade as Esparto grass and which grows naturally in the marshes oL South Spain and the coasts of thej Mediterranean. In England Esparh grass for paper-making is being con seined in immense quantities. The London 7 >/• is printed now entire ly on Sparto-grass paper and it is the stoutest paper we receive. The] native locations have been found too limited for the demand, and planta tions are being made of it in various parts of Spain where it does not nat urally grow. It is well worthy of trial in this c untry; but the sted seems difficult to get hold of. Com mumeoerCspraa had his attention, drawn to its value when he was at the head of the-Agricultural Bureau and imported seed aft some cost; but i the plants dietl out during the heat of the following summer at the Gov-j eminent gardens at Washington. It was thought it would not adapt itself j to this climate; but these experi ments ought not to be regarded as decisive, by any means.—lud'jxn dent. •• • - Pay Your Fare. Dean Richmond had a son who* habits and character were not en tirely in accord with his father's w iskes. die not h-. i a pen behind his ear nor path himself uj on a stool poring over the books in the office, nor did he exhibit any of the qualifications for a successful bull or** bear upon the stock market- The father lost confidence in the s *n. and so strong became hi- dissatisfac tion that he eventually ostracised him. He wtis allowed to labor and shift for his own means of support- He became a conductor upon his father's railway. Mr. Richmond : '. 1 him that the least infractions of the rules of the company would insure hi- immediate removal and especially was be warned against allowing any person, whether friend or not. to ride without showing a ticket or fuss, or paying the necessary fare. He had been employed in this capacity for some time and there had been no complaints, when, one day. Dean Richmond himself became a pMM ger upon his son's train. The con ductor. while collecting tickets and fart-, cam*, to the old railway mag nate when the following dialogic enrred I "Ticket, sir!" 1 "Ticket? Get out! 1 am the . president of this road. I don't buy ? tickets." •; " That makes no difference. It's - against orders for me to allow anv . | body to ride without he pays his I fare, presents a ticket, or shows a pass.' i Come, hurry up." \x- ■' "Hell, sir, you know who I am and you know that I am entitled to ; tide on this road free. I could make i out a pass but I haven't any blanks. I You go on. It's all right." "See here, old gentleman, it makes no difference who you are; give me a ticket, show a pass, pay your fare, j ; or get off this train." "Humph! young man you are get- i ting mighty arbitrary. If you don't ! go on about your business I'll have ' you discharged." The young conductor made no re-; ply, but gave a vigorous pull upon the bell-rope. As the train checked ! its speed and the father saw he was about to be treated like any other' passenger and w as really liable to be set down beside the track midway ! between stations, he pulled his wal-. let and paid his fare.

As they stood thus a voice upstairs shouted. "Come up here, young ones, and I'll make you MC -tar.-!" It was Uncle L>eu. w hose guests the children w* re. Five pairs of little feet [ottered up the stairs. "Show u- the stars 1" cried Franky, putting hi- head in at tin loor. " But you can't because it i-n't night, you know." *• But there are stars that may be seen by day." said Uncle Ben, laugh ing with the rest. "Wait a bit!'' Presently he put some snow-flakes under his microscope and Frank and the others looked through it and saw stars of most beautiful form-. "A snow-flake, you see. is a star." said Uncle Ben, triumphantly. "Oh, how prettv !" cried Loo. "I shall hate to tread on the snow now! Just to think of trampling love!;, stars under foot! But perhaps they are not always so beautiful! " "Yes. my dear, they are." said Uncle Ben. "but I don't think the\ ever look twice alike, for their forms are endless." "The-e are all iust alike." said Fan. ~N o, they are a teenty-tonty bit dirferent.'' " Yes, and sec-," cried Frank, "they are changing all the while ! " " Yes. they change their form-as they melt," said Uncle Ben. "At one falling the flakes have ah.:>ut the same st\le of figure, but if it shook! stop snowing a while and then begin again the flakes would have a differ ent form." After the children had hooked through the microscope as long as they cared to do so their uncle took a book from the table and in a mo ment their eager little faces were lending over it as it lay opened upon his knee. "Ob! oh!' cried the children, "what lot- of pictures! Are these all snow-flakes?" "Yes." -aid Uncle Ben. "They're nice to look at. because they don't melt." said Franky. ••Yes and some of these are pret tier than the lice snow-drops" ad ded little Gus. "Just count how many points they have !'* "Ah! these were seen up in the 1 cold polar region*-." sai d Uncle Ben. "I have been up there myself, you know, and I was sorry enough that I could not handle my pencil so as to draw the beautiful star-flakes I -aw.

But I have read of a Captain Scores by who counted up to ninety-six varieties. Sometimes the flakes take the form of darts or pyramids, but I think the stars are prettiest—Come, now let u? go down-stsiirs and make a suow-man," Then they all marched out of doors, their Uncle at their head, and the boys fell at once to piling up snow, but Loo, as she stepped out on the soil white carpet of the earth, kissed a -.now-flake as it fell, saying softly to herself, "I love vou, beautiful white star. r __ t t _ The Use of Children. For what are these child-angels made I that are sent down to this world to bring so mm h love and rapture and then go j from us in such bitterness and mourn ing? If we believe in Almighty Love, , we must believe that they have a merci ful and tender mission to our wayward souls. Tiie love wherewith we love theiu is something the most utterly piir and unworldly of which human exjteri ence is capable and we must hoj>e that every one that goes from us to the world of light goes holding an invisible chain of love by which to draw us there. Sometimes I think I would never have had my little Daisy grow older on this earth. The little child dies in growing into womanhood; and often the woman is far less lowly than the little child. It seems to me that lovely and loving childhood, with its truthfulness, its frank sincerity, it.- pure, simple love, is so sweet and holy an estate that it would he a beautiful thing in Heaven to have a baud of heavenly children, guiltless, gay and forever joyous. tender spring blossoms of the Kingdom of Light. Was it of such that He had left in His I heavenly la.me that our Saviour was ; thinking when He took little children in His arm- and blm-ed them and said.
