The seyenteen-Year Locust.

The editor of the Californian Missou- rian has been handed the following re- marks upon the above subject by Mir. J. c. Reed, who has seen this trouble some insect appear three times:
 "The seventeen-year locust, or cica- da, will make it's appearance in & short time, as it is within short distance of the top of the ground now. There are many rumors as to its dcathly powers, and the large appcndage resembling a huge sting would seem to justify them but no fears need arise, as it. perfectly harmless, all naturalist have failed to discover poisonous matter ill the insect. Its only mission above ground is the propagation of it's species, in doing which it will literally drill to death many young fruit trees, depositing its eggs mostly in the branches of last years growth, and will materially in- jure many forest and shade trees; this together with their incessant noise, con stitutcs the amount of their annoyance which naturally can be of but suort du- ration, as they partake of no food du- their short sojourn above ground The name of the locust is sadly out of place when applied to this strange in sect, as there is no affinity between them and the Egyptian locust, which is one of tho most yoracious insects konwn.

The other day passing along Military street in front of the Court House we saw an armed Confederate soldier standing by his wagon and team of oxen. All at once the maimed rebel with the fire of battle not entirely gone from his eye, strengthened himself up assumed the military stiffness of old Gen. Ruggles when calling his courier for pipe of tobacco, whirle& his long whip gracefully in the air, shouted in hoarse voice of command:
 "Attention battallion!"
 Promptly with the word the six stcars rose from the recumbent attitude shook their dusky Hanks, and took the position of the soldier.
 Again the clarion voice:
 sForward-marchl' l'
 And the trained animals moved off, not with great deal of time in keep ing step 'tis true, but understanding the command perfectly.
 Then not satisfied with pace Sat will' of his troops, the incorrigible ''reb' thundered out:

Giving Joy to a Child.

Blessed be the hand that prepares pleasure for child, for there is no say ing when and where it may again bloom forth. Does not almost everybody re- member some kind-kearte& man who showed him kindness in the dullest days of his childhood 1.-The writer of this, recolleets himself at this moment, as barefooted lad, standing at the wooden fence of poor little garden in his natiSe village, while with longing eyes he gazed on the flowers which blooming there quietly in the bright ness of Sunday morning. The pos sessor came forth from his little cottage ; he was wood cutter by trade and spent the whole week in the woods at work in the woods. He had come in to gather flowers to stick in his coat when he went 10 church.-He saw the boy, and breaking off the most beauti- ful carnatien--it was streaked with rec and white he gave it to him. Neither the giver nor the receiver spoke a word, and with bounding steps distance from that home, after ran home. And now here af a vast so many events of so many years, the feelings of gratitude which agitated the breast of that boy expresses itself on paper. The carnation has long since withered but now it blooms afi,csh.-- Douglas Jerrold.

 Lipan Joe followed the litten which contained his friend, and found himself riding side by side with Rosa Murray.
 He turned his dark eyes upon her, with a good deal of humor in them for an Indian.

 "But don't hate him."

The live msn iz like little pig, he is weaned young, and begins tu root arly.
 He iz the peppersass of creation the allspice ov the world.
 One Live Man in village iz like a kase ov itch at a district school-he sets everybody tew scratching at onst.
 A man who kin draw New Orleans molasses, in the month of January, thru half inch auger hole, and sing 'sHome! sweet home" while the mo- lasses iz running, may be strictly hon. est, but he aint sudden enough for this climate,
 The live man iz as full of buzziness as the conductor of a street kar-he fz often like the hornet, very buggy, but about what the Lord only knows.
 He lights up like cotton faktory, and haint got enny more time tew spare than school boy has Saturday afternoon.
 He iz like the decoy-duck, always abuv water, and lives at least Is months during each year.
 He iz like the runaway hoss, he gifts the whole ov the road.
 He trots when he walks, and he lies down at night only bekause every else haz.
 The live man is not always a deep thinker: he jumps at the conclusions juss as the frog dug, and don't always land at the spot he is looking at
 He iz the American pet, a perfekt mistery tew foreigners; but haz done more (with charcoaD to work out the greatness ov this country than any man in ii.
 He iz just as necessary as grease on an aXletree. He don't alwuz die ritch, buLhe alwuz dies buggy, and meets death good deal az an oyster dug, without enny fuss.

 Voting day came. 1 went to the post-ofiice to deposit my vote and waited three hours to throw it in. When I got chance, put my Whig vote, over, and also my registration paper. They asked me if I was color ed, how I was and if ever expected to do so again. I told them and after looking through 3 or books, they said name was on the list; they then took my vote, indorsed it "white," wrote on my certificate ''voted, this lst day of April (All Fools Day.)

 Coop HAMs.-After hams have been smoked, take them down and thorough ly rub the flesh part with molasscs, then immediately apply ground or powder ed pepper by sprinkling on as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep per feetly sweet for two or three years This must be done before fhe ny de- posits its eggs, for aftcr this is done, nothing will stop their ravages. The above has beea praetieed for more than twenty years. No soaking is necessa- ry. One pint of molasses to one or two pounds of black pepper are sufii- cient for any ordinary family. Try this plan, if you want good sweet hams. Rural American.

 ASRcDoTE OF SHAKRsrEARE.-Queea Elizabeth was great admirer of the immortal Shakespeare, and used frequ- entlg Gas was the custom of great rank in those days,) te appear upon tho stage before the audience, and to sit Aelgh- ted behind the scenes while the plays of the bard were performed. One evening Shakespeare performed the part of king the audience knew of her Majesty's being in the house. She crossed the stage while Shakespeare was performing, and receiving the ac- customed greeting from the audience, moved politely to the poet; but he did not notice it. When behind the scenes she caught his eye, and moved again; still he would not throw off his charac- ter to notice her; this made her Ma jesty to think of some means to know whether or not he would depart from the dignity of his character while on the stage. Accordingly, as he was about to make his exit, she stepped be- fore him, dropped her glove, and re- crossed the stage, which Shakespeare noticing, took up, with these words, so immediately after finishiag his speech, thatthey seemed to belong to it.:
 And though now sent on this high embassy, Yet stop we to take up our cousins glove." He then walked off the stage, and presented the glove to the queen, who was greately pleased with his behavior, and complimented him on its propristy
