T A LES AN I) SKETCHES. HAKV JIOOKG. A l'l.CASANT LOVE STORY. All "toy life long t had known Mary Moore. All my life I loved her. Our mothers were olil playmates and Grst cousins. My first recollections are of a boy in k red frock and morocco shoes rocking a cradle, in which reposed a sunny haired, blue-eyed baby, not quite a year old. That boy was myself Etarry Church ; that bits soil baby was Mary Moore. Later still, I ace myself at the little school- hORgo, tS'fawing my little chtiir up to the door that Mary might ndo -home. Mony a beating have I gaiucd on such occasions, for other boys besides me liked her, and she, I fear, was something of a tiirt, even in her pinafore. How elegantly she came tripping down tho steps when, I 'called her name. How sweetly her blue eyes looked at roe. How gaily rang out her merry laugh. No one but Mary -could ever bring her heart so soon to her lips. I followed that laugh from my days of childhood till I grew an awkward, blushing youth ; I followed it through the heated noon of manhood ; and bow tvlien the frosts of age are silvering my balr and many children climb upon my kneo and call me "father," I find that the memories of youth are strong, and that, even in gray hairs, I am following the music still. When I was fifteen the first great sorrow of mjr life came upon my heart. I was sent to school, and was obliged to part with Mary. We woro not to sco each other for three long years. This, to me, was liko a scntonco of death, for Mary wns like life itself to me. But hearts are tough things, after all. I left college in all the flush and vigor of my nineteenth year. I was tvo iongcr awk ward or embarrassed. I bad grown into n tall, slender strippltug, with a very good opinion of myself, both in general aud par ticular. If I thought of Mary Moore, it was to imagine how I could dezzle and be wilder her with my good looks and won derful mental attainments, and never think ing she might dazzlo and bewilder me still more. I was a coxcomb, I know, but as youth and good looks have fled, I trust I may bo believed when I say that self con ceit has left me also. An advantageous proposal was made me at that time and, Accepting it, I gavo up all idea of a profession and prepared to go to India. In my hurried visit home of two days I saw nothing of Mary Moore. She had gone to a boarding-school at some dis tance and was not expected home until the following May. I uttered a sigh to tho memory of my little blue eyed playmate and then called myself a man again. Ia a year, I thought, as the vehicle, whirl ed away from our door in a year, or three years at the very most I will return, and if Mary is as pretty as she used to be, why, then, perhaps I may marry her. And thus I settled the future of a young lady whom I bad not seen for four years, I never thought of the possibility of her refusing me never dreamed that sho would not condescend to accept my offer. Rut now I know that, had Mary met mo then, she would havo despised me. Per haps, In the scented and affected student she might have found plenty of sport, but as for loving me, I should, perhaps, have found myself mistaken. India was my sal vation, not merely because of my success, but because my laborious industry had counteracted the evil in my nature and has made me a better man. When, at the end of three years, I prepared to return, I said nothing of the reformation of myself, and they shall find out for themselves whether I am better worth loving than formerly. I packed up many a token from that ro land of romance and gold for the friends I hoped to meet. The gift for Mary Moore I selected with a beating heart ; it was a ring of rough virgin gold, with my name and hers engraved inside that was all, and yet the sight of the little toy strangely thrilled me as I balanced it upon the tip of iny lin ger. To the eyes of others it was but a small, plain circlet, suggesting thoughts, perhaps by its elegance, of the beautiful white bsnl that was to wear it. But not to me. How much was embodied there 1 All these delights were bidden within that little ting of gold. Tall, bearded, and sun-bronsed, I knock ed at the door of my father's house. The lights in the parlor windows and the hum ot conversation and cneertui laughter snow ed me that company was assembled there. I hoped sister Lizzie would come to the door and might greet my family when no Strange eye was looking carelessly on. But do, a servant answered my summons. They were too merry in the parlor to beed the long absent one who asked for admittance. a. bitter thought like this ran through my mind as I heard the sounds from the parlor and saw the half suppressed smile on the servant's face. I hesitated a moment before making my self known or asking for any of tha family, snd while I stood silent a strshge appari tion grew op before me. From behind the servant peered out a small, golden bead, a tinVi delicate form fallowed, a sweet, child ish face, with blue eyes, to like to those of one who bad brightend my Dovnooa msi i started with a sudden feelinc of pain. "What is your name my pretty I" I asked, while the wondering servant uem me uoor. "Mary Moore." "And what elgol" I asVcd qufcVy. She lifted tit) Tier hands to shade her evea Iihad seen tii&t very attitude in another in my boyhood many and many a time and answered in a sweet, bird like voice: "Maty Mo-ore Chester." My heart sank down like tefta. llcro was an end to all the bright dreams and hopes of my youth and manhood. Frank Chester, ray boyisa rival, woo had ntten tried in vain to usurp my place beVide the cirl, bad suc ceeded at lust and bad won her away from me. This was the child bis child and Mary's. I sank, body and souk beneath tho Dlow, and, hiding my face in my hands, I leaned against the door, while my heart wept tears of blood. Tho little one cnr.ud ot me griev ed and amazed, and put up her pretty lips as ii aoout to cry. while the perplexed ser vant stepped to the parlor door and called my sister out to see Who it was that con ducted himself so strangely. I heard a liglit step end plcascant voice saying "Did you wish to see my father, sir V I tfloked up. There stood a pretty, swect- fa'cicd 'ffta'.den of twenty, not much changed from tho dear little sister I had loved so well. I looked at her for a moment and then, st'ift; tho tempest of my lieart by a migrity ellort, I opened my arms and said : '"Lizzie, don't you know mo ?" "Harry I Oh 1 my brother Harry 1" she cried and threw herself upon my breast. biio wept as n uci heart would break. I could not weep, i drew her gently in to the lighted fcmrlor and stood with her before them all. There was a rush and a cy of joy, nnd then my father and mother sprang toward me and welcomed mo nome with hcnrtlelt tears. Oh 1 Btrango and passing sweet is such a greeting to a wayworn traveler. And as I bold my dear old mother to my heart and grasped my father's hand, while Lizzie clung beside me, I felt that all was not yet lost, and although another had se cured life's choicest blessings many a joy remained for me !n tho ucar sanctuary ot home. Thero were four other inmates of tho room, Who had risen on my sudden entrance. One was tbo blue-eyed child whom I had already seen aud who now stood beside Frank Chester, clinging to his hand. Near by stood Lizzie- Moore, Mary's eldest sister, and in a distant corner, to Which she had hurriedly retreated when my name was spoken, stood a tall and slender hgure, half hidden by the heavy window curtains that fell to the floor. When tho first rapturous greeting was over Lizzie led me forward with a timid grace and Frank Chester grasped my hand. "Welcome home, my boy V ho said, with the loud cheerful tono I remembered so well. "You have changed so that I never would have known you; but no matter about that your heart is in the right place, I know." "How can you ssy he is changed 5" said my mother, gently. "To be sure, be looks older and graver and more like a man than when he went away but his eyes and smile are the same as ever. It is a heavy heart which changes him. He is my boy still." Heaven help me! At that moment I felt litio a boy, nnd it would havo been a blessed relief to have wept upon her bosom, us I had done in infuncy. But I kept down the beating of my heart nnd the tremor of my lip and answered quietly, as I looked into his full, handsome lace : "You have changed, too, 1 rank, but I think for the better." "Oh I yes. Thank you for the compli ment," ho answered with a hearty laugh. "My wifu tells me I grow handsomer every day." His w ife. Could I hear the name and heep silence still f "And havo you seen my little girl ?" he added, lifting the infunt in bis arms and kissiug her crimsoned cheek. "I tell ymi, liarry, there is not bucu anoiucr in ine world. Don't you think she looks very much like her motfier used to ?" "Very much," I faltered. "Hallo!" cried Frank, with a sudden ness which made me start violently, "I have forgotton to introduce you to my wife. I believe she and you used to bo playmates in vounecr tlnvs. "Yes. Horry," and ho slapped me on the back, "lor tho sake of old times and because you were not at toe wcddinir. I will cive you leave to kiss her once i but mind, old lcllow, you are never to repeat the ceremony. Come nere sue is. and I. for onco. want to see how you will manage those ferocious moustaches of yours in tho operation." no pushed Lizzie, laughing and blushing, toward me. A gleam of light and hope al most loo dazzling to bear came over mo and I cried out before I thought "Not Mary 1" It must have bctioyed my secret to every one in the room, but nothing was said ; even Frank, in general so obtuse, was this time silent. 1 kissed the fair cheek of the young wife and hurried to the silent figure looking out the window. "Mary Mary Moore," I said, in a low. eager tone, "have you no Welcome to give the wanderer T" She turned and laid her hand in mine and said, hurriedly : "I am glad to see you here, Harry.' Simple words, and yet how blessed they made me. I would not have yield her np tuat moment lor an emperors crown. Thero was the happy family croup and the dear home fireside, with sweet Mary Moore. The eyes I had dreamed of by day and night were falling beneath the ardent gaze of mine and the sweet face I had so long prayed to see was there beside me. I never knew the meaning of happiness until that moment. M.inv veara have tiassed since that hap py night and the bair that was dark and glossy then is fast turning gray lam now grown to be an oio man sou can iuu unna. to a happy and, I hope, well spent life. And yet, sweet as it baa beent 1 would not recall a single day, for the love that made my manhood so bright shines also upon my White hairs. An old man t Can this be so I At heart I am as young es ever. And Mary, with her bright bair parted smoothly from a brow that has a alight furrow upon it, is still the Mary of othor days. To me she can never grow old or change. The heart that held btr infancy and sheltered her in the flush and beauty of womsnhood can never cast ber out till life shall cease to warm It. Not even then, for lovb still lives bote. a .h jVr,- .

He ascertained that tbey had been noticed in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware, In 1770, 1783, 1800, 1817, 1834, tho date of his wttrk, and then afterwards in 1831 and 18C8, thus establishing their regular appearance in this district every seventeen years. They do not nppcar the same year in every dis trict, but each district has a different year for their appearance from that of any neigh boring district. Dr. Smith says that the locust is emphatically an American republi can insect, nnd found only in the United States, nnd that there aVe'tvt'O tribes of these insects, differing from tacfe'0'th'eV only in the periods of their lives the largest family, the Northern, living seventeen years, and tho other, the Southern, thirteen years. Gen erally these insects begin to leave tho ground about the 20th of May, nnd increase in num bers till about the 27th of that month, when the greatest numbers will appear, and then the Bt'h of Juno in less numbers till about when no more will leave the iie earth. About the loth of June they commence depositing their eggs, which continues uutil about tho 20th of June, when they ccftsc. The female lays about 400 cgg, excavating boles for that purposo in tbo limbs or twigs to which they are attached by asingularly constructed instrument, about tho size of a small pin, designated as the ovipositor. About the 23th of June the old locusts disappear altogether. About the 23th of July the eggs are ready to hatch, tho in sects cuine out of the excavations and fall to the ground in great numbers, and so small that they nro like little motes in the air, and their apparent specifio gravity so inferior that they are uot injured by tho fall. Well does Dr. Smith observe that in the whole range of natuial history thero is no thing more stmngc than tho fact that a lit tle insect, not as large as the smallest ant, shall pass into the ground and remain there seventeen years, and then emerge in the form of a comparatively large insect, aud that most tribes should re-appear the same month, and almost tho same day, ohco in seventeen years, or thirteen years, according to tho district to which thoy belong. Hav ing made its way into the earth, it lives du ring the remainder of tbo warm season in the vegetable sub-soil, and on the approach of cold weather forms around itself a cocoon, or cell, by cementing tho particles of earth together, in which condition the locusts are often dug up in gardening and excavating without their real character being discover ed. The next season it opens one end of its cell to gaiu access to tho small roots and moist earth, but docs not leave the cell, and thus it continues from season to season, each year enlarging its cell, never changing its lo cality from the time it enters the earth until it emerges. The musical organs of tho locust, by which they keep up the.peculiarand uni versal din, from sunrise to sunset, are de scribed at length by Dr. Smith, and the fact stated that it is only the male which has the organs of sound. He says ; "The musical organs are also very curioU9, and difficult to describe. Directly under the shoulder of the wing on ench Bide of the chest there is a beautiful membrane, some what triangular, convex, aud ribbed with fine bony ridges. This membrane resembles a small shell, and is stretched over a cavity in the chest, the lower angle connected in ternally w ith a strong muscle. On the breast there are two large scales, One on each sido, firmly attached to the breast above, but free below. On bending the body backwards these scales are elevated and exposo two large cavities, also covered with extremely fine snd silk-like membranes. Thcso cavities are connected with those under '.he musical membranes bbdet the wing shoulders, and probably serve for lungs. When these cav ities are filled with air, the musical organs or membranes first described are made to pro duce the sound by the large muscles ; the bony ridges of the membraues being made to act upon each other with such rapidity that the motion is scarcely perccptibloi" Whilst the most harmless and defenseless of creatures, this insect has Innumerable enemies. Chickens, turkeys, birds, squirrels, and pigs will soarccly touch any other food during the locust season. A curious effect on all hen's eggs laid after feeding upon this diet is that their yolks are nearly white. A remarkable character of the insect men tioned by Dr. Smith is its solitary lifo. Al though in close neighborhood to numerous individuals of its class, two are never found in a cell nor In contact. This is also their character in the perfect of Winged stato. Dr. Smith has given in the work from which we have gleaned these facts the most pains taking and complete account of this insect in existence, embellished wit'i admirable drawings, representing it in all its stages. It is to be hoped that some of our loarncd societies will have their attention attracted to this valuable and interesting manuscript, and take steps for Its publication. Halli mart Hun.

Tho locusts which have mado their appearance here this season, havo the letter W clearly marked upon the end of each wing. In the year 1800 they came with the same significant initial. Iu 1817 they had the letter P on tho end of each wing the time in 1834, and in 1851 tho letter W again. Now as the letter W is the initial letter of war and the letteV i tte JnitSAl, Tetter of peace, the question is (especially among those who are just the least bit inclined to superstition) is there anything in it 1 There are many per sons who bAve iho belief that these letters on the wings of the locust, convey a meaning and a warning. According t'o divine reve lation, thb rricuBts Were sVnt 'as B curso or plague upon Pbarna'n. If the letter W on thoir wings signifies war, and P peace, then we will, some time between this and 18S3. havo another struggle of some kind, either foreign or domestic. TrtE L'oSb Cattle.

Lettuce should be pre pared only tho moment it is to be eaten, as the vinegar causes it to wilt, and one of its charms, its .crispn'ess, is lost. Bat for tho regular lettuce salad, pure and simple, tbo lettuce is to be washed and well drained, then thoroughly moistened with .oil and vinegar. And a little salt added. The old rule is : "Bo prodigal of oil, prudent with salt, and parsimonious with vinegar." The amount of vinegar will depend upon its strength and one's , taslo. Of really good vinegar I use one spoonful to three of oil. Stir in a large bowl with a wooden salad spoon until every part is well moistened. BoTtitari Strawberries.
