INDIAN SUMMP,II, There is e. time,just when the frost . ..l3egin9 to have old Winter's way, When Autumn in a reverie lost, , The mellow daytime dreams away. - • When Summer Comes,,in• mining mind, To gaze once more on hill and dell, • Tiiruark how many shea i res they bind, And see if all are ripened well. • With balmy broath she whispers low, . The dying flowers look up and give Their sweetest incense, ere they go, • For her who made btr beautiei ,Shfi enters 'nenth the wooilintill shade, ' Her Zephyrs lift the lingering leaf', I And bare it gently where are-laid Tho loved and lost ones of its ,g,rief. At last, old Autumn, thing, takes Again his sceptre and his throne • ,Vith boisterous hand the tree he shakes, ' Intent on gathering all his own. Sweet Summer sighing, flies the plain, And waiting l lVinter. gaunt and grim, Sees raiser Autumn hoard his grain, And smiles to think it's all Mr Lint. The Force of Imagination Late one even ingo couple of Irish- Tren'stopped at a country inn, in their native - land„and asked for. lodgings.— The porter escorted them to the door of their room ;, but just' as the travelers . entered it, the candle was suddenly ex tinguished by the wind front the dour as it Closed behind them. The - porter had already returned to the bar-room, and after vainly groping on: the mantel piece in the search of matches, the tray dol's resolved to go to bed in the dark, In the ni'idille of , the night one of the . - 1 men SAVO:CO, (Lod after slialti g his com rade to arouse him, 'said, "erenee, l'm 'ils, •wake- as a vrieeinated kitten, fr' (he -A3'atit of air. ..43et up and opene,,theAvin .dow.'

CANNIBAL INSECTS.—Do all insects feed on plants? Fortunately they do not. Many-insects are cannibals. That is, they feed on other insects. Among them there is a struggle for life, as well as elsewliefe. The cannibal insect feeds -on the plant-feeding one, and tints pre vents thelatter from becoming 106 nu merous. The ditlbrent varieties of insects fonnik Within the United States are about 30,- tir about ten distinct varieties of in :-eets to one variety of the animal king • ;d•rn. Of this 30,000 varieties of insets is thought there ate not less than 10,- on varieties that are eannihal.-, These .sects of prey keep the reinalnipg, arce-fOurths within due bounds. In .he animal kingdom we find beasts of ]•rey less numerous than ' the herhivor us,,ones; so among insects Arc find the t lass of cannibals far• less numerous than hose which depend upon other onre, s'-for their subsistence. • t Every school- oy has seen the spider at work catchin T tiles ; while thus en gaged a mint-wasp comes along and :itches the spider; for fear that the mud-Wasps Should hooomo too mtter oils, the wasp is destroyed -by the ich ,eumon fly , which, in its turn, falls a -y - to bh:ds.and other insect feeders - 1. very one must admit that cannibal o:sects are the farmer's friend. Now, will it pay to grow-them artiticially,iu .communities where the plant-feeding predOminate? • Practical entomologists and thinking men must decide on the abovozitestion. Pains ought to be Lik en to raise as many insect-eating birds as possible. Teach the _boys not tol rob birusl - nests, or to wantonly destroy the lives of old birds. In England, garden ers Collect • the lame - of the lady-bird (hug) to destroy plant-lice. We know, by experience, that a nest of bald hornets near a house will sonn clear out all the house-ffles.l A BOY'S FIRST COMPOSITION.—Tbe Terre Haute, Indiana, Album gives - the following essay on "The Ox," from one of its contributors, just as it came from his pen : Oxen is a very slowAtnimal, they are good to break grouird with. I wood drather have bows if they didn't have kolick, which they say is wind collect ed,in a bunch, which makes.it danger er for to keep .horses than( an ox. If there was no horses the people lyould have to wheel-thare wood on a Wheel barrow. It would take them two c(r three - days to wheel a cord a mile: -{— Cows is useful to. i have herd some say that if they had to be tether or ox, they would be a cow. But Dthink when It come to having thare tits pull ed of a Cold morning they'd whisk they wasn't for oxen don't generally have to raise carves.
