The MosQuIro.-A writer in Harperrs
Magazine for Apr! gives the following
description Of the Mosquito, which should
have place in the next work od natural
history: The mosquito is" an offsnsi 70
and venemous species Of insect. Hs
sbides in swamps and marshes, though
be does by no means contine bi1hself to
those localities. His bill is long, sharp,
and piercing, and his voice is like unto It.
In these respects he differs not from the
snipe or sand-hill crane neither a. to
his general personal appearance when on
the wing. He also much reminds ous
ef Scotch bagpipe, and vet is unlike it,
inasmuch that his piping ceases when his
bag is full, and pice versa. He delights
in blood and torture, and bis cruelty l.
particularly manifest in that he invariably
sucks lila victim through q tube instead
of swallowing him at: once. His appe-
tite is Unsuitable, and 10 limited only BY
his capacity, When full he retires for
a time, but like the chamber Of Colts
revolver, returns to the charge rs often
as be goes off so also, if he be driven
away foroibly, and for this his pertinacity
is remarkable. But of what possible
use be is | ,wot not, un'es. it be ~ =
model Of industry ant. perseverance.

THr BEARD.-HeAr what writer in
that standard medical work, the London
Lancet, says about the beard:
As qualified surgeon, I beg to ap'
peal briefly to yourseIf and your readers
against An extraordinary custom to which
the E giish,nen are prone--yiz: that Of
shaving. After q residence abroad,
where, of course, allowed my beard Ia
grow as nature intended it, / returned to
my native land, and anxious TO do in
Rome as the Romans do, at once had
recourse to my long,neglec'ed razor. A
severe cough and continual neuralgia
have been the resplt, Smartipg under
an anguish almost intolerable, ] wish to
know whether any Of your contributors
can assign scientific or even plausible
reason why the practice should continue.
1t was first adopted by the nation5duriDg
the reign of the most lioentious and zef,
Terminate of our kings, The beard. has
been worn by poets, philosophers and
divines-men of whom the world was
not worthy. 1t is mere than ordinarily
required in our variable climate, and /
have yet to learn valid reason for the
lisfayor with which it is regarded at the
present day.

spent whole days in his apartment. He was
an applicant for Office at the time-Consul at

What sad thing it was to see the poet sub
jected to, all the humiliation of ofice-seeking

On such occasions, he would give me his-
tory of his wandering-his trials and all
cares incident to his sensitive nature and
poverty.

gan-grinders playing, Home, Sweet Home"

His only wish was TO die in foreign land, to
be buried by strangers, and sleep in obscurity.
Poor Payne: his wish was realized. He

GUARD THINE ACTION.

Wheuyeu meet with one suspected
OF some secret deed Of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As thing Of evil fame;
Guard thine every look and action
Speak no words of heartless blame,
For the slande7er's vile detra ction
May yet soil thy goodly name.
When you meet brow that's awning,
With its wrinkled lines of gloom,
And naughty step that's drawing
To solitary tomb;
Guard thine action, some great sorrow
Makes the man a spectre grim,
And the sunset of tomorrow
May have left thee Joined to him.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin
Think, it placed in his condition,
Would a kind word be in vain
Or look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again?
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad,
Better have an act that's kindly,
Treated sometime with disdain, e.
Than by treating others blindly, ..t h
Doom the innocent to pain.

IA OhAHEoH OENTLEMANS 8 HOUSE,
Albert Smith, in his amusing volume,
To'China and Back" gives the follow
ing graphic account of his visit to a
gent'eman's residence:
He first took lis to his cour try house,
now uninhabited. II WAS the perfect
residence ofa Chinese gentleman. There
was a very large garden with bamboo
hedges, and Ia'ge fish tanks, edped with
walls OF blue bricks and perforated tiles.
His pigs were in admirable condition. and
as beautifully kept as those of the Prince
Consort ats Windsor. About the grounds
we're nutmegs, mangosteens, pisntains,
cocoa nuts, darlens, and small creepers
trained into baskets and pagodas. In-
side the house the drawing-rooms had
doors slid ng across circular openings.
we then went on to this good gentle
mans private residence, entering BY .
Chinese tfiumphal gate. He tells me
te hae ten miles Of carriage road round
tis estate 1t is on fine undulating
tract of land, reclaimed from the jungle
and laid out with rare taste. In the
outskirts, tiger killed man the other
day. In his garden found Jacko liv-
ing 'n a cane cage, next door to por-
cup'ne; there We're also some rare birds.
Further on, some very small Brahmin
bulls, Cashmere goat, and a family of
Young kaogaroos. There were all sorts
OF unknown beautiful flowers placed
about in enormous china vases.
Here l first saw the tea-plant growing.
1t is Of the cameIia tribe, three OF four
feet high, perhaps. and beal6lnlIi. small
white flower, like an open do& k6s6
was also shown the " moon-flower:" .
kind Of rounded convolvuIus that onlv
opens at night. There was bower of
= monkey cups"-tbe pitcher flower,
which collects water, and from which
Jacko reffeshes himself in the jungle,.
The fan-palm produced water, by being
pierced with a 2enknife, Of a clear. cold
quality. Several minute creepers we're
trained over wire forms to initiate drag>
ons, with egg SHELLS for their eyes aud
there were many Of the celebrated
dwarf trees-the first I bad seen-)ittle
oaks and elms, about eighteen inches
bigk, like small withered old men,. The
house here was superbly furnished III the
English style, but with lanterns all
about it. At the guests arrived
all dressed in short white jackets and
trowsers. The dinner was admirably
served, in good London style, and all
the appointments, as regarded plate,
glass, wines and dishes, perfect
The quiet, attentive waiting of the little
Chinese boys deserved all praise. After
dinner, we lounged through the rooms,
decorated with English prints of the
Royal family, statuettes, "curids" from
every part of the world, and rare objects

Fam dying, Egypt, dying"

Ebbs the crimson lite tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast;
Let thine arm, oh, Queen, support me-
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secrets,
Thou and thou alone nust hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And wreck'd and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actiun's shore
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
must perish like Roman:
Die-the great Friumvir still.
Let not Casar's servile minions,
Mock the lion thus laid low
Twas no foeman's arm that feI'd him.
Twas bis own that struck the blow,
Dear, then, pillow on thy bosom, sss-
Ere his star shall lose its raw,
Him who drunk with thy caresses,
4 Madly flung world away.
Should The base plebeian rabble,
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where tine noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home.
Seek-say the Gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs circling wings,
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of Kings.
And for the star-eyed Egyptian, =
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Lights the path to stygian horrors,
With the splendors Of thy smile
Give the Cesar crowns and arches,
