Where Musquetoes come From.

Many people are puzzled 10 know how
these pests Of summer originate, and they
may be gratifed 10y chapter on natural
history, furnished by 3 living entomolo-
gist:
The musque,oes proceed from the ami.
mai cule commonly termed the 'wipple
tail took bowl Of clean water and
set it in the sun. In few days some
halt-dozen 'wiggIe tails were visible
These continued to increase in size till
they were three sixteenths of an inch in
length. AS they approached :heir ma.
turity they:remained longer at lb surface,
seeming to live in the two mediums of
air and wa:er; finally they assumed
chrysais form, and by an increased spe-
ciic gravity sank TO the boron Of the
bowl. Here. in n few hours, | preceived
short, black fnrze of hair growing out
on every side Of esch, I'll. it assumed the
form Of minute caterpillar. And thus
its specific gravity being counteracted, or
lightened, it readily hoa,ed to the surface
and the slightest breath Of air waited il
against the side Of the bowl. In very
bret space OF time alierwar Is, the warm
atmosphere hatched out the 1v. and il
escaped ,lesving its tiny house upon the
water. How beautiful, yet how sinpl. =
After the water had gone through this
process | found it perfectly free from ani
malcule. therefore came 20 the conclu.
sion that this 'wiggle tail is species of
the shark, who. having devoured whole
tribes of animalcllc, takes to himself
wings and eecapes into different medi
nm, to torture mankind and deposit eggs
upon the water to produce other ,wiygle
tails, who IN turn produce other musque
toes.
Any man who has kept house. with a
clstern in tho yard, has doubtless uhserv-
ell the same effect every summer. Open

rnusqneto season, and millions of them
will hv in Your face. Close tie windows

same time previously to exclude every
inusqueto, and go TO bed with pitcher
at that same cisiern water ia the room,
and enough will breed from it during the
night to give YOU any satisfactory amount
of trouble. In fact, standing by a sIaI.
low, half stagnate pool. in mid summer $
dav,y on may see the 'wig.le tails become
periec'ly developed musqnetoes, aud they

VEGETABLE GARDEN.-There Is always
more or less vegetable refuse in gardens
during summer, such as potato tops, pea
haulm, and similar matter, which is either
allowed to remain on the ground and dry
up in the sun, or deposited in a heap for
the purpose Of forming manure A better
disposition of such products is to dig
them a, once into the soil; there are a.
ways some spare corners. or uncropped
spots, which may be enriched by becom.
ing n place Of deposit for rubbish Of this
kind. Even the short grass from lawns
may be covered at once, if no more useful
disposition can he made Of il; such as
muIching between the rows of vegetables,
or over the roots of recently planted trees.
There is much loss of enriching matters
by allowing these incidental accumula.
tIons to lie on the surface; and even As
matter OF neatness and regularity. they
should be at once disposed Of, aud req
tered useful for fortune crops.

The Quaker Coquette.

DEAR, coy coquctte. but once we met
But once, and yet-'was once too often |!
Plunged unawares in silvery snares
All vain my prayers her heart TO soften ::
Yet seemed 40 true her eyes of blue,
Veined lids and longest lashes under,
Good angels dwelt therein, I felt,
And could have knelt in rsverent wonder.
Poor heart, alas what ey c could pass
The auburn Ia ass Of curls caressing
Her pure "hitc brow-mpde regal now
BY this simplicity of dressing
f.ips drwy, red as Cupid's bed
~ rpse-leavns spread op Mount Hvmettus;
With baIm Asr'.ued, a,sy nrig,I be wooed,
But alb, coy prude! she will not let US,
no jewels deck her radiant neck
What pearl would reck its hue to rival
a pin of gold-the fashion old
a ribbon fold, or some such triG.,
Oh, past belief! the liiy's leaf,
In dark relief, sets off the whi,cDess
or all the breas, not vcilcd aud prest
Beneath her collars Quaker tightress
And milk white robes o'es snowier globes,
~ sRoman maids are drawn by Gibbon,
with classic taste are gently bruced
Around her waist beneath n ribbon;
And thence unrolled in bilIowy fold,
Profnsc aud bod-a queenly carriage.
They half reveal and half conceal
What knights might knrrl to wo in mar
riage.
q, Quaker maid, were more st,id,
Or you II shade less archIy pious
IL soprrest suit from crown TO boot
Could chnnce to uproot your Quaker
bias -
How gndly 80 in weeds Of woe,
From head to toe my frame I'd cover,
That-in the end-ihe convert Friend"
Might thus ascend-a convert lover!
