EXTR.HORDIyvARY VISITATlON.
A letter from Green Bay, Mich. Ter
ritory, to a gentleman in Washington
city, dated July 10, 1919, gives the fol-
lowing very curious account OF the visi-
tation of that country by clouds of insects
which will bear comparison with the
swarms which hcretoIore darkened the
air of Egypt in their aight:--
Within the last four or five days the
Ay has appeared-a non dcscript perhaps
in history---aid covered the face of the
whole earth, obscuring the sun, moon
and stars. write literally, and without
the least exaggeration. The heavens
are darkened by them, as in denseiy
cloudy day as far as the eye Can discern,
they fill the air in every direction, as
closely as thick swarm Offices. Corn.
fields BIC. are Frustrated with the clouds
that settle upon them; trees are covered,
and the branches bent and broken down.
The barracks and buildings in the VIZ
cinity, at the ends and sides not exposed
TO the sun, are entirely black, the insects
piled one upon another. These crea-
lures, with their ieeltrs, that protruoe
from head and tail, are about three inch
es in length, slough their skins, daily, it
is said by the inhabitants here; and in
dying by millions every hour, inject the
atmosphere so that it becomes unfit to
breathe. Cattle, swine, and Indians are
said to feed and fatten upon them.--The
Frencllmcnscall them musquito hawks,
because they make their appearance
when mosquitoes are most numerous,
and, as is supposed, prey upon, and drive
them away. The flies themselves re-
main but six or seven days.

DECLINE OF COMMERCE.

The decline of commerce has been a
subject of general complaint, and has
been imputed to variety of unsatisfactory
causes. The situation of the world for
twenty-five years past, will We think suf-
ficiently account for this phenom enou.
During this period, Europe has been en-
gagged in sanguinary and exterminating
war; the whole continent has been the
atre of destruction. 1t matters not, so far
as the present question is concerned,
which Of the parties are the victors or the
vanquished both victors and vanquislad
mast be fed !; subsistence and cloathing
must be obtained from nation who is not
party in the contest. What is the won
der then If the commerce. of neutral
power during such season of storm and
peril, thrives with unprecedented activi-
ty! what the wonder if eXtravagant pri-
ces for all the articles Of subsistence and
cloathiug are demanded and received !
When one nation has been prosecuted
with fire and sword to the waters edge,
and deprived Of all supplies by land, what
is the wonder if she pays exorbitantly for
those supplies which the wind and the
waves conspire TO watt upon her shores
When peace once more wields her sceptre
of olive, an entire change Of scene inevi-
tably takes place. Every independent
power, instead Of relying on precarious
commerce for articles Of food and cIoath-
ing, depends upon its own resources. But
the question may previously be put. is this
a thing to be lamented? During seasons
of such storm and tempest, let it be re-
membered that the spirit Of rash adven.
tnre, SO excited, cannot properly be called
a commercial spirit it is spirit totally
irreconcileable to that slow, cautious, pro-

From the Catskill Recorder.
"a soruer 7vent forth to sou.

IN so1Uer zuent forth to sozv."
The parable of the sower is highly 10.
teresting to every one, 10 that it embraces
every description Of gospel hearers, points
ont the causes that hinder or prosper the
saving success of the word, and OF course
| affords us test by which every indiyid-
uaI can judge of his moral standing.
]. The hearts of great portion Of hear
ers, stupid, thoughtless, careless, worldly,
vain, proud and passionate, may well be
compared to the way-side; for they are
as ill-prepared to receive the truths Of
the word TO edifcation, as the highway is
for the reception of the hnsbandman's
seed. How should they understand it
They have no desire; and even while
sitting under its sound, vain imagiDations,
or obstacles Of more malignant faint, fill
their minds. And while they fear not
the encroachments Of satan, nor of course
guard against him, he can easily take
away the word sown in their hearts, by
his insinuations as the fowls caught away
the seed lying on the hard trodden path.
2. Some, however, are affected by the
word, and come forward with considera-
BILE zeal, as seed 10 the hot and shallow
soil among stones or upon rock but
not having the heart Of stone taken away,
and not being rooted in true sense of their
own nature and deserts, and of Gods no.
ly, just, and exalted character-like that
seed they soon wither away, even by
a sun far less scorching than that of literal
persecution.
3. There are those that apparently
progress still further, and become stable
and at ease in an orthodox profession and
formal religion; who nevertheless-as in
the case Of the seed choked with thorns-
make the world their end, aud vaiuly en-
deavour TO serve two masters. 1t is IT,
deed vain attempt, as their despised
Master has told them; and they serve but
one. The Lord of glory will not accept
a piece of corrupt heart.
a. But it is matter of rejoicing that
there is &c preparation of heart'-a fear
of God, and desire of his favour, alb
sorbing all earthly interests; in which, as
the seed in good ground, the words Of life
eternal will take root, and progress from
one degree of grace TO another, and pro-
duce the fruits Of piety, sobriety, aud
Ibenevoience; in different degrees 10 differ
ent persons, but in all abundautly. Let
us sell all that we have and purchase thai

FLORIDAs.

1t seems as if the commemoration Of
some important event was necessary to
our knowledge Of geography. Who would
have concerned themselves about Water
loo previous to the battle which termi-
mated, at least for the present. the Napo-
leon dynasty but since that event, how
many fair fingers have traced that spot on
the map rendered SO ilustrious by the
defeat Of the French army? In the same
way it is important for the Americans to
become Familiarity acquainted with the
Floridas: they will shortly be members
of the American family, and it surely
becomes us before we sit down at the same
table; before we give to these strangers
an invitation to reside 10 our domiciles,
to ascertain the rank, character aud
quality of our guests. 1t is believed, for
our knowledge of Floridas is very defec-
tive, that few, If any Of the navigable
