In conclusion, people ought not to be
alarmed. The w on its wings does not
indicate war, nor the E England. The
sting of the locust never killed any
body, for the best of all reasons-because
it has none. The insect has neither
means of offence nor defence; and all the
stories that are told of children being
killed by their sting or bite are fabulous.
If death ever was produced, or any less
injury when locusts were present, some
other cause effected it.
! have thus given the public such a
picture of this most interesting insect, IS
will enable any one to observe them I'M
derstandingly at the approaching season.
| have also few we'll drawn copper
plate engravings, representing them in
all their stages, as well as some of the
insects themselves, preserved from those
of 1894

How calm she sleeps, young Madeline
The hcavng of her snowy breast
Seems musical as ripping waves
BY summer moon-bcams softly prest.
She sleeps; and by those trembling lids,
Which hide two orbs oflivins light,
Some dream is floatngin her soul,
Filling her Lcart with fair delight.
Gentle and pure, Young Madeline
No lily on its fra. lie stem
Is halfso spotless; nor so bright
The diamond in diadem.
Love is the impulse of her heart,
And faith, which doubly thrives in youth;
And these are guarded round about,
Ever, y honor and by truth.
She singcth, when the sun comes up,
Whether the sun may shade OF shine;
For grief comes not TO heart like hers,
Gentle and peerless Madeline.
She singeth when the sun goes down;
For light her hear, will ever run,
Since steadily through all her life,
Daily, some bounteous deed is done.
o, sleep. thou gentle rose-cheekcd one,
Angels are VIZ hing round thy shrine,
And ever will they guard thee well,
Loving and truthful Madeline!

Gems of Thought.

They declalm most against the world who
have slnned against it; as people generally
abuse those whom they have injured.
Common sense is an instinct shared
equally by the wise and the ignorant
man.
Most of our resolutions are but brides,
furnished by our common adversary, to
lull conscience asleep for the present.
o. We can be truly happy but in pro-
portion as we are the instruments of
promoting the happiness Of others.
LIZA cheerful wife is as a rainbow set
in the sky, when her husbands mind is
tossed with storms.
We do not always see the golden links shin
ing in the chain of human events, hut they are
there, and hap is he who feels their gentle but
irresistible influence.
Nalencourt said, when his library was
Destroyed by fire, Ia man must have
profted very little by his books who has
not learned how to part with them"
UThousands have become rich by
minding their own business so, also,
thousands have decome poor by minding
other peoples.
o. Some men are like the Moraviane,
who make gardens of their grave-yards;
others like the ancient Jews, who made
grave yards of their gardens.
He that suffers his mind to dwell with
envy or uneasiness upon the riches or
honors of those above him in the rank of
society, secretly finds fault with the dis
pensations ofProvidence.
GrThere is no language which can
speak more ineligible to the thoughtful
mind than the language of nature, and
it is repeated to us, as it were, every wear,
to teach us trust and confidence in God.
o. The honor is not in being either
master or servant, but in performing
the duties Of either relation well; and
the dishonor belongs to neither, but to
the neglect of the duties, which the ma.
ture of the station imposes.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-05-17

Coon HIT. The Cincinnati Times tells the
following anecdote:
A certain ti.ht-fstcd old codger Of this city
happened in at Fosters Philosophical Instru-
ment Mandatory, few weeks since, where
he was shown the LORDS Prayer engraved in a
space about the size of five cent piece, with
which he was very much pleased. Returning
home he related the circumstance to his fami
ly, and prodigal G) son coming into the sit
ting-room, The following ensued:
''My son, would you suppose that the Lords
Prayer conld de engraved in space no larger
than the area ola half-dimel'
"Well-yes, father, ifa half dime is as large
