TO BUMMER.
Sad in thy presence, Summer, forth I go
And wander by the brook) and sparkling rill,
That with a tuneful murmur gently Dow
From the oool springs far on the leafy hill '
And there I think, beneath the grateful shade .;
Tbe willow and the, elm throw o'er my bead,
Of tbe drear change relentless Time hath made
Of loved ones sleeping with the silent dead. ; -
They, too, did love, in other days, to greet
With me thy coming from thy southern home.
But now their friendly voioe, with aooenta sweet,
Cheers aot my heart, like sunlight, in ita gloom.
"They watched the swallow soaring to the sky, -
Or lightly skimming o'er the mendowt green ; , i
I too now watch it-r-but with trembling eye, --
Wbile wondering where their footstep oft have I
oeen.
They heard the robin blithely enroling, ji
And thrash low singing from glad spray
and
, bower f ,., ... ;
And joyful to eaoh heart seemed every thing,
With sweet blending, in that gladsome hour.
But they are gone who shtred their joy with me!
No eye now answers to affection's smile !
Still, glorious Hummer, do I weloome thee.
And greet thy protenoo, though I weep the while.
How tad my heart when thy low myptio voice,
From waving field and woodliuid deep, 1 hear,
With smiling Nature bidding me rojoioe,
Fur I oan only answer by a tear.
Yet I do love thee. Summer, though there be
A thousand tearful mem'rios round thee east
For tbou dost ever mirror back to me
Tbe joys and gladness of the cherished past.
TALES AND SKETCHES.
on A.ei'ntAVlll-.UHYl.U.
It was a warm afternoon in July, and the
Dexter girls, -diary, Josie, Funny and Sue,
were out upon tbe broad piazza to catch the
faint breeze that lazily stirred tbe leaves of
the lofty elm that stretched its protecting
arms over the old farmhouse.
"How stupid we all are 1" vawned Funnv.
throwing down her book and desisting l'lom
the atteaipt to capture a fly thut persisted in
alightiug on ber nose. "How I do wish it
would thunder, or something would happen
to wake us up."
"U, goody I there a Cousin Kate coming
across the lots. Now for some fun 1"
And dropping her work, away scampered
Josie down to the gardcu gate to meet her.
Kate Wilde, or wild Kate, as everybody
called ber and it must be confessed that
she bad well earned the title came along,
wiuging ber bat in ber hand, aa wus her
usual custom, her light elastic step showing
that she was troubled with neither corns nor
their concomitauts, tight shoes. She was a
medium-sized girl, with a clear, bright com
plexion, brown eyes, and hair about the
aaine color, and which, do her best, never
would stay "done up," like the other girls',
but, defying tbe restraint of comb and r et.
persisted iu resolving itself into spiral curls
around the neck aud temples; a style of
coiffure not at all unbecoming to the bright,
piquant face of its owucr.
"Jow, girls," she said, depositing: herself
upon the steps of the piazzu, and brushing
buck the moist hair from her temples, "don't
all of you begin to exclaim how terribly hot
it is ; for one can see that by just looking
a! you. I declare, if you dou't look us wil
ted as so many cabbage leaves 1 As for me,
it is just such weather as I like; it fairly
maKes me grow.
And she looked as thoucb it did. as she
sut there with ber glow ing cheeks and spark-
"B Eyct luu e'y picture oi ueuuu, luu anu
frolic.
"I've come to invite you to go a straw ber
rying with me as soon as it gets a little
cooler. I know a place where they are aa
thick as they can hang, and as red "aud ripe
aa cherries."
"Where J" inquired a chorus of voices.
"Down in Pebbly-brook meadow, not a
quarter of a milo from here. You kuow
where it is, Josie ; we went a-berrying there
laBt summer."
"Yes ; but you know Deacon Barnes own
ed it then. 'Squire Graves is so cross ! He
told Hob and the Harding boys that if he
ever cuught them iu bis gross again he'd set
his dog on them."
"Humph 1 Perhaps he'll set his dog on
me i" with a toss of her head. "I should
really like to see him do it 1 Hut pshaw 1 he
won't meddle with us girls. Not but that
he's ugly enough to do most anything, but
he'd be ashamed to. Say, girls, will you go?
I shall, for one; fori dou't mean that all
those delicious berries ahull go to waste for
the waut of soma one to pick them."
After a little more coaxiug and persuad
ing, Kute carried the day, as she geiierully
did, aud it was uually agreed tliul she wus
to meet them tliere immediately alter tea. .
At the appoiuted time Kate mude her ap
peal an ce, basket iu baud, liift bare-headed,
to the ustonialimeut of -the g'rls, who we it.
waiting tor ber on the porch.
"Where's your but V was the iainiO'bat
inquiry.
"i lie lost isawoi it, it was going over
tlie ilam, was the cool reply. "A puff ot
wiud took it off my head as I was crossing
the bridge, But I wasn't going clear home
ugain ; 1 thought that I could borrow some
thing, or else tie a handkerchief over my
heat!." : .
"I know w-hat I'll do I" she exclaimed tri
umphantly, us she spied a pile of hats that
Josie hud been braiding; "I'll wear one of
these ; it will be just the thing."
"So will H Bo will IJ" was tbe merry
response. .. .
And following Kate's example, they ar-
rajed themselves iu the coarse straw but.
very generally worn by men and boys, during
the warm weather, iu their out-door labor.
Thus equipped., with many a laugh ut the
transformation thus effected, especially in
connection with their jackets, profusely
ornametted with buttons, they set out upon
iuuu capcuiuou in uigu glee.
'Squire Craves, the owner of Pebbly-brook
meadow and the fertile lands adjoining it,
uau oeen a resiueni ol. ureenville but a few
months, during which time btr had-kept
himself very ket-ludud, turning a eold shoul
der to the rather, officious but , well-meant
overt ur of ,his uaiyubpr "lo be sociable."
as they culled it. There was little known
iu regard to hi antecedents, w ith tbe excep
tion that be wa man . ot considerable
means and unblemished character. On pass
ing through tbe place be bad been attracted
by tbe beautiful situation of a small (arm
that was for sale." Me bought it; and tear
ing down the-old 'form-bouse, built a com
modioua and pleasant uooUa, .where he
lived in solitary state. Ot, cuie.jbut bis
housekeeper , und oua ruaA servant, rarely
going into publio, exaept to .church, -r i.;
He was not generally likod i tbe men folks
laughed at nla suiateur farming, and their
wives were not a little indignant at bis want
(.appreciation, of tbe hospitality fur which
iheJ wer note'1- At tot tbe young lad it of
j Orceoville tkej wcro unatimouSy of tbe
opinion "that lie was-very handsome,"' with
the lntitiiin ol' Kate Wilde, wlici declared
Unit lie was "a Imrrilile looking creature,
M lth - his tierce whiskers' und ' ttarinir black
ef.'V .
'tiqtiiro ; Gfdves was hy no means misan
thropical in his natural disposition ; on the
contrary, lie had heart more thaa usually
(vniputhctic and generous in its impulses.
His seclusion and the chilling reserve of his
manner were owing to a recent family afflic
tion, which, though it attached neither dis
grace nor blame to him, had cast a temporary
gloom over his feelings and made him shrink
from society. He had settled himself down
to the dull routine of his present life with
the fixed determination of never leaving it;
but Miis for the vanity of human resolutions,
especially those which repress the natural
craving of the heart for love and sympathy,
he was already growing weary of it.- And,
as neur the close ol day the warm July day
Boove-iiiennonud ne sat upon tne veranda j in 1'erry county, lnd., recently : A man
siiiokiny, an unusuiilly lonely f.'elin came j mimed Frnneia J. Smith, who formerly resi
over him, and the silence around him seemed ! (led in Floyd county, and for a short time
almost oppressive. . i in New Albany, ia the murderer and suicide.
W hat a bewitchinply pretty countenance I
that girl bus!" he soliloquized. "Kate
Wilde, I believe they cull her. I think I
never heard such a sweet laugh." ' '
'bqnire Graves had seen Kate at church
every Sunday since his arrival, and hail been
irresistibly attracted towards her; and that
very morning, as he chunced to go by her
father's house, he had canirlit a irlimnse of
her bright eyes and rosy cheeks in the car
den into which he had been tempted to look
by the merry tone und gleeful laugh which
proceeded from it.
Then as he dreamily watched the smoke
circling above bis head, he tell to wonder
ing how such a face and figure would look
opposite him every morning at tbe breakfast-table,
and what a general transforma
tion they would effect in his lonely home.
From w hich blissful dreams he aroused him
self With a half sigh at the celibacy to which
he had inwardly pledged himself.
"Them pesky boys are in the medder
again, 'squire," said his mun. Joe. thrusting
bis head through the door. "That 'ere gress
will be so tied up that it can't be mowed
nohow you can fix it."
1 he boys of the neighborhood had been
very annoying of late in their depredations
upon bis orchard and garden, iu which be
took no little pride, and the announcement
of this fresh "raid" quite exhausted his re
maining stock nt patience.
"iney ore i he exclaimed, "l ve tried
what virtue there is in words, now I'll try
the effect of something more potent. Go
and unchain Bruno I"
With the huue mastiff at his heels, which.
fierce as it was, was perfectly under his mas
ter's control, 'Squire Graves reached the
brow of a bill which gave him a view of the
fair raiders. Iu it stoopiug posture, little
could be discerned of them above the tall
grass save their heads, whose strange gear
certainly gave them a very masculine ap
pearance.
In spite of his indignation, desirous of
frightening rather than hurting them,
'Squire Graves held buck the eager dog un
til be had, by a loud hulloo, warned them
of his design.
As soon us tbe girls saw the fierce animal.
with open mouth, bearing down upon them,
they let fair their pails and baskets aud

and vigor.
All got safely over with the exception ol
Kate, who, being the last to go, hit her foot
against a stone, and was momentarily stun
ned by tu tall it occasioned.
As 'Squire Graves caught a glimpse of the
flying foe, his ungry feeling changed to as
tonishment und dismay, and he quickly
hastened to the spot to prevent any farther
mischief.
"Back, Bruno I back, you brute I" be ex
claimed, as Kate rose to ber feet and turned
ber flushed face towards him.
Good heavens! it was, tbe diviuity that
bad occupied his thoughts so much of late.
"I earnestly trust thut you have sustained
no injury, Miss Wilde i"' lie said, removing
his hut respectfully as he spoke.
"Not iu the least, sir; though it is not
owing to any consideration ou your part !"
"Very gentlemanly conduct, I must say I"
she added, looking with an icdignaut air,
brat at ber soiled dress, and then at the
crest-fallen mau before her.
"I 1 iieg your pardon," bo stammered ;
"but the fact is, your dress so deceived mi
(hat I I really took you to be boys !'' ;
"2'vok u to be boyij" repeated . Kate, iu
aslonishmenl.
Tne n, aa her eye fell upon the hat at her
feet, her anger evaporated in a clear ringing
luiigh. which did more than anything else
could have done to restore our hero to his
usual case and self possession.
In the meantime, the rest of the girls h .d
sought the shelter of a grove io uu adjoin
iug field. Missing Kate, two of the boldest
of them volunteed to go uud ascertain her
fate. As they came within sight of the field
of their disaster, they were astonished to
see 'Squirt). Graves politely assisting Kate
over the fence ; which act of gallantry she
eceived with much, apparent complacency
and good humor. . . . -j--.
- When Kate reached tbe grove, she found
ber companions bemoaning their several
mishaps., One had lost a ed, another a
shoe ; dresses had been draggled through
tbe mud, and torn iu . various places, aud
their apparel, as a whole, was iu a rather
dilapidated condition. They were of the
unanimous ypiniou ihat 'Squire Gaves . was
a "brute," an "ogre," a "perfect savage."
Kate listened to these auathemas in si
lence, though witb eyes brimming with
mirth. Af last,' unable longer to contain
berself, she hurst forth : ' ....
"Sciuiie Graves isn't to blame. ' What do
you think, girls t be thought we were boys!"
Here Kate sat down upon the grass, and
laughed until the -tears rolktd clow ber
cheeks, in which she was joined by the rest.
' 'Ho'sent bumble apologies to 'yon'!!,
continued Kate, us goon her mirth permitted
her to speak, "and said, 'that he should be
happy to have us 'iek strawberries 'in bis
meadow wbeneVef we felt disposed to do
so. What do you think of that!" "" '-.
"Ttiok f said Josie, with a significant
look; "I think that the 'perfect savage' has
been tamed very suddenly: ' What kind of
a charm did you nee, eh, kwte I"
- At this, Kate blushed, and for -once, was
at a loss for an auawer.i o sha banged the
subjeot, by proposing bus they ail should
start for borne. ... ,:i.i.f:.-.i.i ..!,ii....!!! "
What that blush meant, it is impossible
to say, but this wtt know, that there- was
quite a marked change in 'Squire Graves'
habit and manner; lis commenced calling
upon big neigh hers, and sopu became a
SocUole as any one of them could desire,
though it must be confessed that he called
at Mr. Wilde's much more frequently than
at any other place. And more than this,
the very next Thanksgiving eve there Was a
pleasant gathering at Mr. Wilde's, during
which a curtain cc"emor,y was performed, at
the conclusion of which wild Kate was Kate
Wilde no longer. Yet, although she took a
graver name, her husband avers, (and cer
tainly he ought to know,) "that she is the
same merry, provoking creature that she
was when she stole, not only hia strawber
ries, but the heart of their owner."

An At rot-lots .Murder and Suicide.
The- New Albany (Ind.) Ledger gives the
following particulars of a double murder,
seldom eu unlet! in atrocity, which occurred
His wife, Mitry, and his little son, Roger,
were the victims of his fiecdiah malice aud
blood-thirstiness. The murdered wife first
met Smith in thia county in the latter part
ol the year 1804. A short courtship follow-
j ed, when they were married in 1S00, and
i immediately removed to Perry County, near
j Derby, where Smith owned n farm. For a
'short time thev lived nleasnntlv ennueh to-
gether; but after the birth of the boy Roger,
wuich occurred In December, 1863, Smith
frequently beat and abused his wife in the
most shocking manner. He also treated the
child witb revolting cruelty, at one time bold-
j ing it over a blaring Are until it was nearly
roasted. ' I he devilish spirit that actuated
Smith to the preparation of these barbari
ties was jealousy. He frequently denied
the paternity of the child, and accused his
wife of improper intimacy with a man who
resided in the neighborhood.' Finally, un
able longer to bear the persecutions heaped
upon her by her brutal husband, Mrs. Smith
left him and went to New York. She af
terward returned at her husband's request,
and upon hia promise to do better ; but she
wus cruelly thrust from tbe bouse, and du
ring the remainder of her life was a wander
er through the neighborhood, without any
other home than what was given her through
tbe charities of the people. On Wednesday
lust Smith met bis wife at tbe bouse of a
neighbor, whither she bad gono to seek as
sistance. She bad concluded to seek aid
from the township Trustee, and Smith told
her he would accompany ber to thut officer's
residence, to which she assented. It was
just before noon, when they started. Smith
took her oy a circuitous out-ot-the-way route
through the woods, and kept her und the
child with him until near 10 o'clock at night,
when he reached a durk and secluded ra
vine. Here he budo the poor, wretched,
heart-broken wife sit down at the root of a
tree. 1 he woman obeyed, and -the fiendish
husband then told ber that he intended to
kill both ber and the child. The night was
durk and it was raining, and escape was
vain. What pen can portray the horror and
agony of the mother there in that dark
forest, alone with such a desperado as me
naced her. Tbero was horror in that scene
beyond all powers of description. Smith
then proceeded deliberately to his work of
murder. He seized a heavy stone and witb
a single blow crushed in tbe skull of the
mother. Not yet satisfied, he seized other
atones and hurled them against her head,
until the vital spark had fled. With the
same instruments of death be beat out the
brains of the child. When both were dead,
he took the strings from tbe murdered wife's
shoes, tied her feet together, thee crossed
ber bands over her bosom and tied them io
that position. He next took the child and
placed it alongside tbe dead body of the
mother, and with the mother's shawl cover
ed up the victims of his murderous passion,
and departed to bis brother's residence, a
few mile's distant. At the brother's bouse
Smith wrote a letter, in which he pretends
to detail the circumstances of his married
life aud of tbe murder, told what be bad
doue and what was in the letter, and then,
taking his brother's ride, be stepped out in
to the yard, placed the muzzle of tbe gun
over bis heart, set off the trigger with a
stick, and . fell . to tbe ground dead, shot
through the heart.

' Rev. D. Butler, the well known Methodist
missionary who established tha mission of
that church in India, In 1806, recently re
turned to this country. He makes tbe fol
lowing statement of a remarkable case: in
1850 a British soldier, wbile bearing a dis
patch from one magistrate to another in tbe
kingdom of Oude, passed an unfrequented
ravine, where be saw a pack of wolves, and
witb them a human being, evidently one of
their company. Immediately turning back
be reported the circumstance to the magis
trate for whom be was traveling. The lat
ter forthwith mustered a number of Coolies
and went to the place. The pack of wolves
lied a short distance and sought rcfugo in a
sort of cave or den. Beginning to dig, the
party soon discovered the feet of the wild
man, and, drawing hire forth, succeeded in
binding aud carrying him to the town. r.
Butler has seen him often since, aud says
he is evidently a man, and at the time of
bis capture apparently about twentv-four
years of age. ' j
1 lie captured creature at first violent!? 1
resisted the attempt to put clothing upon
mm, out alter a wniie ceased to tear the
garments. He is now kept by a gentleman
in the city of Thsje Vumpore, some eight
hundred miles west of Calcutta. When
first taken he was unwilling to eat any
thing hut raw meat, and has never been able
to speak or make any approximation to a
knowledge of the alphabet. If any . one
looks earnestly or sharply at him, he ex
presses bis annoyance by - a half-uttered
grunt, immediately turning away and set
tling upon his haunches in a corner of the
room, or lies down. He eats his food off
the ground, and although a human being, is
in bnbits a wolf, with the instincts of that
beast.
This is certainly an anomalous fact in
history, although it is said that foar simi
lar cases are known to have occurred in
India, presenting the. same general facts.
Wolves abound in India, where the in
habitants live wholly in the cities and
villages ; and at tbe approach of night all
persons employed in the open country retire
to these clusters of bouses, or buts, and
these roving and ferocious animals find free
tango. It frequently happens that a wolf
steals into a bouse and carries off a child.
So frequently is tbis the case, that io the
schedules furnished for recording the mor
tality in eacn place, one column is beaded,
"Carried of by wolves."

AGRICULTURAL.
The Wheat Midge or Wheat I'ly.
On tho 18th inst., Mr. C. J. Hiestand,
an intelligent farmer of Mount Joy township,
brought me somu earth . containing . the
larvm of the "Wheat Fly." sometimes er
roneously cnlled the "Red Weevil." Mr. H.
obtained this earth from a low, flat portion
of a wheat field gu hia neighbor's form ;
a field in which wheat was also grown .last
season. After a heavy sjiower of .rain,
which overflowed this low part of tbe field,
when tbe waters had subsided, he found
tbe smooth earth covered with a yellowish
deposit, but having no magnifying-glass
witb him, and bis natural sight not being
strong enough, he could not determine
what tbe nature of tbis yellow subetanco
was. Returning to the field tho day after
the rain, Mr. II. was surprised to find that
the yellow substance he saw the day before
bad entirely disappeared ; but on closely ex
amining tbe surface of the earth, he found
it punctured with millions, ' perhaps at
least witb unaccountable numbers of small
boles, as though tho smooth clay had been
thickly pricked with a pin. On digging
down half ar. inch below the surface, he
found any number of tho little yellow ob
jects which be was in pursuit of, and which,
on examination, prove to bo the larva? of
Ceeidomyia tritiei the destructive wheat
fly. With those in my possession I produc
ed the same effect witnessed by Mr. Hiestand.
On saturating the soil , with ' water, it
brought all the larvre to the surface, but,
after tbe water had subsided, they would
all penetrate the soil and go below, leaving
the surface like a finely celluluted sponge.
This fnrt, developed - through the in
strumentality of Mr. Hiestand or, rather,
confirmed by his discovery settles a here
tofore mooted question : That is, that the
larvre of the wheat fly remains a larva; in
the earth of the field where it was born,
from the middle or end ot June in ono
year, until tho 18th or 20th of May, at least,
in the next year. Now what does this luct
suggest to the intelligent farmer? Why,
clearly this: That he ought to institute an
examination o! his wheat fielda during the
month of May say from tho 10th to tho
end of the month and if he finds tbesa
orange colored larvas in the soil-which he
will by tbe aid of a common pocket magni
fier, and digging from a half to an inch and
a half below the surface in any consider
able numbers, then let him turn it doicn
with a deep tub-toil jihw. If there is only
one acre of ground in Mount Joy township
that is aa thickly permeated by the larvae of
tbe wheat fly as the email quantity of soil
brought to me by Mr. U., euough flies may
breed from it to inoculate tbe whole town
ship, if not half of the county.
It would be a nice question to determine
bow these insects can subsist in tbe larva
state, and he subjected to all tbe various
changes of heat and cold, wet and dry, for
the period of nearly a whole year. This fact
would seem to imply that there is aa other
remedy than the ono which has been sug
gested, because any application that would
destroy tbe larva) would also destroy the
wheat, and might also unfit tbe soil for a
subsequent crop. If tho plowiug down
seems to be necessary, from tbe presence of
these larvre in the soil, a crop of corn or late
potatoes may still be raised upon it.
But many of these larva) do not reach the
ground, but remain in the husks of tbe grain
and carried to tbe stack and tbe grain mow.
According to tbe experiments of Dr. Asa
Fitch, they do not die in the grain husks,
but, on tbe contrary, on tbe application of
moisture tbey revive again. I bavo on va
rious occasions rubbed infected wheat-heads
until they were completely divested of their
grains, aud found afterwards that tbe larger
number of the larvao remained in tbe chaff.
It has long been my opinion that tbe chaff
may pass through a threshing machine and
a winnowiug mill, and tho larva) or pupa
be still in it, comparatively uninjured. . A
portion of this chaff is fed to cattle, but a
large portion reaches tho barn-yard, and is
from theruse hauled to the fields. When
knoien to be infected, it ought to bo burnt.
