were in attendance, and also the fairer portion
OF the community were there, which had ten
dency to stir American hearts to deeper elo-
quence. Messrs Kidd and Ray addressed the
people, and discussed the merits of both the
American and anti-American cause to some
length. The invitation was then extended to
any one who wished to take up the battie-axe

and attempted to demolish the American cause
but was firmly met BY Mr. Ray, and the sequel

Hon. GEORGE B. N. WALES. - 1t was with
more than ordinary pleasure that we learned
from the following paragraph, in the Baton
Rouge Gazette of the I'd instant that this elo-
quent and able gentleman was about taking the
stump in behalf Of American principles Says
the Gazette:
This gentleman U.s. at present, in town. and will we
learn take the stump" In few days In behalf of Anne
rican principles and the nominees of the American party
There in the State few eloquent or effective
aEsakers than Mr. Wailes and his determination
the State will be- heard with plea by every friend
Of the American cause. He will speak In Baton Rouge
sometime during the week. Of which due notice will be
given.
We know Mr.. W. we'll. and regard him as one
Of the very ablest men in the State of his years
With a strong, practical, and highly cultivated
mind, he possesses orstorioal powers of the best
order, which enable him to bring his resources
to bear upon an opponent with telling effect
We hope to have the pleasure of hearing him
in New Orleans before the close of the canvass.

Pretty THOUGHTS.

What is crime? A wrctchcd vagabond
travelling from place to plate in fruitlcss ell
deavor to escape from justice who is engaged
in hot pursuit; foe to poor innocensc which
il too often made to suffer for the guilty.
What is thought A fountain from which
flows all good and evil intentions a mental
food electrical in the force and rapidity of it's
movements, silently, flowing unseen within
its ayenue--yct it is the controlling power of
animated nature. and the chief main spring
of all our actions.
What is happiness! A butterfly that rovcs
from flower to flower in the vast garden of
existence, and which IS eagerly pursued by
the vain multitude in hope of obtaining tho
prize: yet it continually evades their grasp.
What is fashion A beautiful envelope for
mortality, presenting gIttcring and polish
cd exterior, the appearance of which gives no
certain indication Of the real value of what is
contained therein.
What is wit A sparkling beverage that
is highly celebrating, agreeable when parta
ken at the expense of others: but when used
at our cost it becomes bitter and unpleasant.
What is knowledge A key that unray,I'
all mysteries, which unlocks the entrance "u
discovers new, and unseen and untiod2n
paths in tho hitherto unexplorcd field q
science and literature.
What is fear? A frightful substance to the
really guilty, but a vain and harmless shallow
to the conscientious, honest and upright.
What is joys The honey of existence =
really beneficial and agreeable when partakcJ,
of in moderation, but highly injurious w.lya
used to excess.

for minister to engage in than an effort to
preserve the birds in his parish.
We would impress upon the mind of every
child that the command "thou shalt not kll''
meant these dear little birds as well as things
of higher degree. Thou shalt not wanton-
ly kill single thing of all creation that is
not necessary for man s srlstenance, or that
is not detrimental to his interest,". -
Children should be taught not only to love
the music of birds, but to look upon them as
models of beauty and afectioHto their mates
and to Their young. Instead of driving them
away from the house, encourage them to
come and perch upon the window-sill and
build their nests under the caves
Don't tell us they destroy the small fruit
Plant enough for you and them. If they do
cat fruit, SO they do cat worms, and you can
well afford to give them few cherries and
currents for what they have done for you.
Around the city there is difficulty in
preserving the birds because all the groves are
infested with an abominable nuisance in the
shape Of big boys and prowling loafers "out
for a days shooting"
They ought to be out for days shooting,
and that should.b be at their own idle carcasscs
with fine salt and pcpper-corns, and every
owner Of land should be allowed by law thus
to salt and pepper any of these idle vasabonds
who come upon his grounds without leave to
doom the birds to destruction.

it upon all your family-Nevcr kill bird

produce other mosquitoes. -.
Any man who has kept house, with a
cistern in the yard, has, doubtless, observed
the same eject every summer. Open your
eisenhower any morning in the mosquito
season, and millions of them will fly in your
face. Close. the windows of your room at
night, at the risk of being smothercd for
want of air, being careful, at the SAME time,
previously te exclude every mosquito, and

from it during the night, to give you any
satisfactory amount of trouble. In fact,
standing by shallow, haIf-stagnant pool,
in midsummer day, you may see the wig
gle-tails" become perfectly developed mos
quitoes, and they will rise from the surface
Of the water. and fly into your face, and
sting you. What it is necessary to know at
this day is-has there yet been discovered

pest, and disturber of nights slulnbers, tho

where Mosquitoes Come From.

A writer on Entomology, discoursing about
these summcr-pcsts, thus handles the sub
ject:-
The musquito proceeds from the animal
cula commonly termed the ''wiggle-tail. y
| took clean bowl Of clean water, and set
it in the sun. In a few days, some half a
dozen "wiggle-tails" were 1O6ble. These
continued to increase in size, till they were
about three sixtcenths Of an inch in length.
AS they approached their maturity, they rc-
maincd longer at the surface, seeming to live
in two mediums. air and water: finally, they
assumed chrysalis form, and by all increas-
cd specific gravity, sank to the bottom of the
bowl. Here in few hours. perceived
short, black furzc or hair growing out on
every side of each, until it assumed the form
of minute caterpillar. And thus its spe-
cifc gravity being conhteractcd, Or tighten
ed. it readily foatcd to the surface, and the
slightest breath of air waited it against the
sides Of the bowl. In very brief space Of
time afterwards, the warm atmosphere hatch
ed out the fly, and it escaped, leaving it's
tiny house upon the watcr. How beautiful,
yet how simple! fuat.J %
After the water had gone through this
process, found it perfectly free from ami

that this twigglc-tairhis species of the
