VOSQUITO WORM,
Once on a time, in wandering round

coast in canoes as far as the Rio Indio,'
which my companions were anxions to
"prospect ;" and on 'the third drof:
just as the camp was chosen, Frazer
killed a python, such a monster as the

"That!s,pigh.the 4iggefit, !USW ever

THE 'LONGEST STORY 'ON RECORD.
• The folloWing will amuse almost any
,ono Who will take the trouble and.spare
tho time to read it through.. d .
'There was once a certain King, Who,
like many Eastern Kings, was very fond
,of hearing stories told, -,To this amuse
-meta he galfe up all his time, butyet he
was never- satisfied. The exertions of
his cotirtiere• were all in Vain. He at
last made a proclaniation that 'if any
man should tell him a story that should
last forever,,he Would certainly awake
hini his heir and give himthe priicess,
his daughter, in marriage, but it any
ono should-fail, thatis,if the story did
come to an end—he was to have his
head cut off.
'For such - a price as a beautiftil prin
cess and a kingdom, many candidates
appeared, and dreadful longstories some
of them told. Some of theth lasted a
week, some a month and some;' ski
months. Poor fellows, they all Spun
them out as long as they possibly could ;
hut all in vain.. Sooner for later they.
all came to an end, and one after anoth
er, the unlucky story-tellers had their
heads chopped off. At last came a man
who ,said that he had a story t that would•
last forever if his majesty Would be
pleased to give him a trial. •He warned
him of his danger; they told him how
many others, had tried and 16. st their
heads ; but he said ho was no afraid ;
and so he was bro't before the king.—
He was a man Of a .vory composed and
deliberate way of speaking, and, after
nuking all necessary stipulations for
his eating, drinking and - sleeping,-hp"
thus' began t
- • Oh, king, there,was once a king who
wap a great tyrant; ana_desiring to hi
creiise' his riches, he seized upon the.
corn in his kingdom, and put it into an
immense granary, which was builton
purpose, as high as a mountain. This
he did for several years..,,antil the gra
nary Was quite fullto the top. He then
stopped the doors and windows on all
sides. But the bricklayers bad, by lr( -
eidcnt., left
,a very small hole near the
top of the granary, anethere came a
flight of locusts and .tried Ito get at the
,eorn, but the hole was so small that'
Only one locust could pass through at a
time. So one locust went in and carried
air One grain Of corn, and then another
locust went in and carried' off another
grain of corn, and then another locust
;went in and carried offanother grain of
corn. . .
' He had gone on thus from morning
till night (except when he was engiteed
at his meals) for about a menth,-when
the king began to be rather tired with
' his locust, and interrupted his' story
with: . • - -
Well, well, we have heard enough
9f, the locust, we will suppose they
helped themselVes to all the' corn they,
\Waited: , Tell us. what happened after-
Wards."
To Which the story-teller answered
deliberately; "If it please your majeS
.ty, it is impossible to' tell whathap
pened afterwards before ,I . , tell what
happened first."
And then 'he went on: "And then
another locuSt went in and earried of
another grain of corn, and then anoth
er locust.went in and carried off anothz
er grain of ecern, and then another lo
cust wenrin and carried'' off an - other
Igrairn of corn, kid then'; another locust
' wentin. and. : Rarried off :turother .graiii
t7l,* WI LIT, , -
, ,
' The king listened with unconquer
able patience for' six months more,
When be again interrupted liirn„with :
" Oh ! f4end! I am weilry of "bur lo
custs. How soon dii you think 1 hey
will have it done?"
To which the storyteller made.. an
swer: . , ,
"Oh !' king, who can tell ?'At ' the
time to 'which my story has como the
locustS have cleared' a small apace ; it
may ben cubit each wayNouud the hole,
and the air is still dark with locusts on
all' side's. But 'let the' king have pa
tience, and no doubt we shall have to
Mlle to the enl. of them in time." •
p ‘
Thus encoui , .d, the king listened
on for another I year, [l.l \ l story-teller
going on stilla before.
"And another locust went in and car
ried off another grain of corn, and then
another locust went in and darried,off
another grain of.corn, and then another
locust went in and carried off aniither
grain .of corn."
At last the poor king could stand it
uo longer, and cried out :
" Oh, man, that is enough, take my
daughter! take my kingdom! take any
thing, everything, only let me hear, no
more of the abominable locuSts" '
And so the story-teller was married
to the king's daughter, and was declared
heir to the throne, and nobody over.ex
pressela wish to hear the rest of the
story, f r he said it was impossible .to
come to the other part 9f it till he had
done with the locusts.
_A Fight with Walruses
The.coming up of the herd was a sig
nal for a scene which baffles description:
They uttered one wild, concerted shriek,
is
as if ,an -agonized cry I f % rhelfi ;• and
then the air was filled w' answering
shrieks. The `• link - ! j t tk. !. htik !" or i
the wounded •bulls seemed to find •an
echo everywhere, as the cry was taken
up and passed along from I floe to floe,
like the bugle blast passed from squadron
to squadron alo-ng-a line of battle ; [hid
down every piece of ice plunged, the
startled beasts as'quickly as the sailor
drops from his hammock whenthe Jong
roll heats to quarters. With their ugly:
heads just above the water, and with"
mouths wide open, belching forth, the
dismal " huk ! huk ! huk !" they came
tearing toward the boat.
In a few moments we were, complete- •
ly surrounded, and the numbers kept
multiplying with astonishing rapidity.
The water soon became alive aril black

They seemed at Tirst to be frightened

became the focus of at least a thougand

Tt seemed to be thnpurpose of the
walruses to get their tusks over the
3,guriwale of the goat, and it was evident
'that, in the event of one such monster
hooking on to us the boat - would be torn
to pieces, and,yvo would be left floating

it is an u erstatement to say that
the,majorlt of "Western farmers suc
ceed. A ino 'e accurate: statement would;
be, 'that, with. an escraplion of a small
minority of Western merchants, all
fail ; while, with an exception of a
small minority of Western farmers, all
succeed. In view of the'se undisguised
and warning faets, it, is astonishing to
see ; so many young men whn, on coin
ing from the East to the West, to begin
a career, wreck themselves at the out-'
set by deliberately choosing the wrong
channel of success. •
I was walking With an experienced
merchant around the market square of
a Western town, to whom I happened
to put the question, " How many ol
them are thrifty' in their business?"
"Only three." He then explained that
these three were getting rich; that a
dozen others were earning a living; but
that a great majority of the remainder
must sooner or later, one at>tEsx another,
drop into 'bankruptcy. On the contrary
idniont every old established farmer
whom I have met in the West has told
me some such tale as this r "I came,
here ten (Or perhaps fifteen) years ago;
worth about •live hundred hollers (or
perhaps nothing);, and now I._could sell
my property for a dozen. Or perhaps
twenty thousand dollars." Thus it

failurel and a ,farm an open road to
success_
