THE MOSQUITO,

A writerin Harper's Magazine for April
gives the following description ofthe Mosquito.
which should have place in the next work
on natural history
"The mosquito is an offensive, venomous
species of insect. lie abides in swamps and
marshes, though he does by no means eonfne
himself to those localities. His bill is long.
sharp, and piercing, and his voice is like un-
to it. In these respects he differs not from
the snipe or sand-hill Crane; neither as to his
general personal appearance, particularly
when on the wing. lie also much reminds
one Of the Scotch bag.pipe. and yet is unlike
it. inasmuch that his piping ceases when his
bag liz full, aud vice versa. He delights iii
blood and torture, and his cruelty is particu-
larly manifest, in that he invariably sucks his
victim through tube instead Of swallowing
him at once His appetite is Unsuitable, andis
limited only by his capacity. When full, he
retires for time, but like the chamber ofa
Colts revolver, returns to the charge as often
as he goes of; so, Also if he be driven away for
chilly. and for this his pertinacity is remarka-
be But Of what possible use he is wot not.
unless it be as modelof industry and perse-
yerance" .-

THE WINTERS GONE.

tbFhgeTe NHea-hokAcE.) N
from the New York Evening Post.
The waters gone and fast the SHOWS going:
Green in the meadows now the grass is growing;
All DER the trees the lesfy locks are springing;
All DER the world is Spring her changes bringing
The streams. their banks no longer overlooking,
la milder. calmer mood are gently going
Forth to the dance come Nymphs and sister Grsce-,
In unelad beauty aud with joyous faces.
The hour, SO kind, yet feeting, warns thee plainly.
Mortal. to be immortal, hope not vainly'
The warm west wind removed all winters traces;
Soon summer, in its turn, the spring ehaccs;
And quick shall change the summers radiant glory
To autumn's lavish fruits and winter hoary.
Yet the swift months, u change perpetual tending.
Their own disasters still are ever mending;
But when the winter death our life shall sever,
No spring shall raise the lifeless dust forever
To day thy hopes bright, thy joys are certain
What hand ran lift To- morrOw's gloomy curtain,
Seize the glad hour, and safe thy soul with pleasure
Nor leave to greedy heirs thy hard earned treasure
When once the silver chord is ru,lely brsken-
When once stern fate the hard decree hath spoken
No long array of noble names before thee,
Nor eloquence nor virtue shall restore thee.
Their modest worth in gloomy shades is dwelling
Its prayer, unhearj, no kind release compelling,
And valOr falls before that foe unquang,
With arm unnerved and weapon una> ailing.
