USE OF LIAR DIS AND BIR Ds.-I recollect
visiting some years ago an intelligent
physician in the West Indies, who had
trained some lizards to take the flies from
his face when asleep. To show me their
skill, he leaned his head against the side
of the summer house, closed his eyes,
and Immediately half dozen bright little
fellows three or four inches long appeared
near him. Their glisting eyes twinkled
with expectation, and, the moment fly
made its appearance on any part of the
Doctors face, one or more of them would
dart like lightning across his face. scarcely
touching it, but carrying off the nnfor-
tunate fly. A French agricu!turist had a
hundred pair of the bird called Kulki-
manore, from the Sandwich Islands. Dur
ing the season he would let them loose
at night, and they would return in the
morning. each pair destroying, as it was
estimated, some four thousand May bugs.
In Malta, small birds are kept to free the
house from flies during the summer, and
are found very effective. Aud why should
not similar instances be numerous!

THE MOON.


Should feelings sad come DER thee,
And shroud thy soul in gloom,
And all the world seem dreary,
TO contemplate the Moon!
Observe her in her splendor,
How calm she wheels along,
And feelings dark and sombsr
Will yield to those of song.
For the soul of man immortal,
Like harp of many strings,
When to music it grows fatal,
BY it's makers touch il sings.
In that lunar orb is beauty,
That lifts up the soul from earth,
And its splendor shows duty
Due to HIM who gave it birth.
And this glorious work of nature
Speaks power that is divine,
who, in mercy to his creature,
Made and caused it thus to shine.
1t teaches, too, that sadness
The soul should ne'er pervade,
For it smiles forth IN gadness
On man, for whom twas made.
Should troubles, then, come Ger thee,
And shroud thv soul in gloom,
And all The world seem dreary,
60 contemplate the Moon! .*3

Mr.. Etter-Sir-In view OF the educ ational

of Texas Conference, for the purpose of facitat-
ing the cause Of education in this new and flourish
ing State.
In all public enterprises in countries
have such formidable obstacles with which 10 con-
tend to forbid all hope of success without
united effort The effects of these obstacles, we,
the friends of education, have felt in our zeal

cultes to be encountered in its accompii piishment.
Knowing that the members of the Methodist
Church are equally interested in the success Of its
institutions, call upon them, together with
others who may :eel disposed to aid us, to meet
with us and devise means for the advancement Of
the cause Of education. Among tie many subjects
which ill be prese nted for their consideration will
be the propriety OF continued effort 10 establish
Conference Collegiate Institute at this place.
We would respectfully suggest that delegates
from other literary institutions and societies be ad
mitted, and that not less than three members be
sent from each of the above mentioned circuits
