have swarmed within a day or two with considerable
quantities of worms about an inch long. They are
50 thick in the streets that it Is impossible to walk
without treaiing on them, and in the fields they have
entirely consumed the grass. The mystery Is where
they came from 80 suddenly and in such numbers.
SPIRIT BALM IN THE PsALNs-Thef following story
is told Of DIR. Bellows Rev. DR.. Lothrop said to him

YOUNG FOR THEIR ~YEARs.-General Scott, as Is
well known, was seyenty-hve years old in June, and
his age Is therefore Of course a fruitful theme with
the cap'ious critics who think they can manage the
campaign better than he does. 1t Is worth while to

who / Prime Minister Of England, i the imperSUna-
ton Of vigOr and pluck. l. even older than our vet
