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

TniRTKB! AKD SEVENTEEN TEAR TRiBES.
We have before referred to a valuable
manuscript work of the late Dr. Gideon B.
Smith, of this city, on the locusts which Te
now swarmine and sincinrr in tho cOWrVtrv
around us. It appears that there. are not
only seventecn-Tcar. but thirtccn-vcar lo

embraces tho scientirlo dtfription ot the

and its habits in its winoud and undrr.
ground states, its geographical distribution
over this country, and its regular oppoa'rance
u iu. uiuucuk uisiricia, cue. m tne pre
vious notice wo mentioned thn 'cWnY-rnatnn
established by tbo extensive researches of
Dr. Smith that this locust, in denoaiti un
its egg, docs all tho harm of which it is ca
pable. It bos no other mouth or means of
taking food than three smnll hairs 1ft lis
snout, which, in feeding, aVe spread out
over the sntf see of the roots or leaves W
trees, snd these collect the vegetable juice
and carry it by capillary attraction to the
Etffmsch. Even the injury done in deposi
ting their eggs to shVubbcry of vAItjo can bo
guarded against by feftrefully covering it
trom tho 1st to the 2Utl ot Juno witb cheap
gauze Wo add a few more of tho many
interesting facts mentioned by Dr. Smith.
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

We are indebted to the American Agricul
turist for the annexed recipes:
Salad Drespiso. 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. While tho
strawberries are being picked over and the
stems removed, a quantity of juice will drain
from then). . This eliould be placed in a
porcelain-lined kettle,with the desired quan
tity of sugar a little over a quarter of a
pound to a pound of fruit is sufficient for
rortgt tastes. Let this syrup simmer a little,
and add the fruit. Let the whole come to a
boil, and as sob ops. possible after it bblls
alt throughout; bottle or can, completing
ono at a limb. Glass bottles should first
have A littib warm water put into, them, to
warm thero add prevent the bottle from
breaking. This 15, Of courde, t,6 be poured
out before tlie fruit Is piit lu. ..Every bottle
Bhould be full at the time of putting on the
lid; when cold, the contents will have
shrunk considerably.
l Botti.iso ttASFBERRiES. Hcd raspberries
are tbb best for this purpose. Proceed in
the samo way As for strawberries. If no
juice runs from them, add a little water, or
place the dish of lruit on the back; oi me
stove, atid the juice will soon start. Many
use water always, though tbey will be much
richer without. A little red currant juice
Added is a great improvement.
Poverty Puddino. Soak your bread in
milk the night before using ; when ready,
butter your puddiug dish, and place in a
layer of the bread. Have a dozen apples
pared and sliced, and place a layer of ap
ples on bread, another layer of bread, then
of apples, And so on, till your dish is filled ;
let the last layer be broad; and bake It an
hour. To be eaten with sauce.
. PrcservIso Eodl Dissolve four ounces
of beeswax in eight dunces of warm olive
oil ; in this put the tip of the finger and an
point the egjt all found,. The oil will be
immediately absorbed by the shell, and tha
pores filled np with wax. If kept in a cool
place, the eggs after two years will be as
good as If fresh laid.
To Remove Fhecki.es. Cosmetics sold
for this purposo are often dangerous. The
best plan ia to make a lotion of a teaspoon
ful of sour milk and a small quantity of
scrsped horseradish ; let this staud from six
to twelve hours, then use it to wah the
parts effected, thiicc a day
