CGnnt6dE insects.

Do all insects feed on plants Fortu-
nately they do not. Many insects are can
nibals. That is, they feed ON c ther insects.
Among them there is a struggle for life, as
we'll as elsewhere. The cannibal insect
feeds on the plant feeding one and thus
prevents the latter from becoming too nu-
merous. ,..
The different varieties of insects found
within the United States are about 10000,
or about ten distinct varieties of insects to
one variety of the animal kingdom. Of
this s S1 ar Ss5 R at n fs Sd, aoqgh
are cannioal. These insects of prey keep
the remaining three .fourths within due
bounds. In the animal kingdom we find
beasts of prey less numerous than the herb
iverous ones; so among insects we fad the
class of cannibals far less numerous than
those which depend upon other sources for
subsistence.
Every schoolboy has seen the spider at
work catching flies; while thus engaged
mud wasp comes along and catches the
spider; for fear that uiud-wasps should
become too numerous, the wasp is destroy
ed by the iehneumon fly, which, in its turn,
falls prey to birds and other insect feed
ers.
Every one must admit that cannibal
insects are the farmers friend. Now, will
it pay to grow them artifcialIy in commu-
mites where tho plant-feeding insects pre-
dominates Practical entomologists must
decide on the above question. Pains ought
to be taken to raise as many insect-eating
birds as possible. Teach the boys not to
rob birds nests, or to wantonly destroy the
lives of the old birds. In England garden,
crs collect the larvae of the lady bird (bugl
to destroy plant-lico. We know, by expe-
riencc, that a nest of bald hornets near a
house will soon clear out all the house
flies.
1t is said that the large, sinking and
offensive tasted bug so common on black
berries and ether fruits if placed in room
infested with bed-bugs.will soon destroy
a whole colony of'the latter. This is we'll
worth trial by some modern hote[keepers,
and by those who are always finding out a
new "humbug."

TO S0ce them.

We have briefly announced the terrible
calamity which occurred to the canal boat
M. G. Weatherbee, at the Fort Miller
Dam, on Wednesday last, by which the
wife and child of Captain Clark, the COM
mander of the craft, were drowned. The
particulars of the affair possess q thrilling
interest. 1t appears that the Weatherbee
which was loaded with coal, was on the
point of crossing the river at the bridge,
and Captain Clark, with two hands had
! stepped ashore with rope to keep the
stern of the boat near the dock, leaving no
one on board except Mrs. Clark and her
young child about eighteen months old
AS the boat approached the break in the
dam where the current was very strong,
the stern swung out into the stream, and
got beyond the control of the captain and
his men, as their ropes were too short to
fasten the snubbing posts. The Captains
wife made every possible effort to give out
more line, but owing to excitement failed
of success. They then tried to hold the
boat with the towing line, but were COM
pelled to cut it to keep from drawing the
borses into the river AS the boat came
MRS. Clark took her child in her arms and
~, led "Savc me |" "Save me!' ''Save me ~
At this time fifty or more men were on the
4, ore, near the boat. The lock tender,
AZ artin Freeman, in truly brave spirit,
a. arted for her in a small row boat. When
d came near, Mrs. Clark, hugging her child
20 her breast, jumped for the boat, but fail
ed to reach it. Freeman sprang for her
but without success. The canal boat then
went over the dam, followed by the small
boat Freeman saw Mrs. Clark but once;
after she went over the dam. His boat was
capsized and he got on top and SO went
over the second falls. He was several times
thrown from the boat, the water striking
him with such force in the face that
the blood gushed from his nostrils. He
drifted down the river half mile, and was
rescued alive by some men ON the opposite
shore. Captain Clark tainted and fell as
his wife went over the dam. 1t is believed
that his wife would have been saved if she
had remained in the boat, as it lodged a
short distance below the dam.-Troy (N.

.Nisfaken For a EE'0ff.

Russian papers record a distressing acct
dent which recently took place near Dor
pat. Wolves had appeared in unusual
numbers. A hunter determined to kill
some of them, hoping to Brighten away the
band. A horse died during the day. He
purchased the body and placed it on the
edge Of the woods, to draw the wolves.
The night was dark. Armed with several
rifles, he took his stand under covert
soon after nightfall. He bad not long been
at his post when he saw something moving
actively on the horses carcass. Sure it
was wolf, he aimed and fred Instantly
he heard despairiDg Shrek, evidently
from human being, which gave him the
greatest uneasiness. He went up and
found poor woman MORALLY wounded,
struggling, in deaths agony. She told
him she was the mother of three children
dying of hunger; she had observed the car
cass during the day but was ashamed to
be seen taking portion, of it, so she had
waited till nightfall to cut piece of it for
her starving children. She had kitchen
knife, and lying by her was a stew-pan
which she had brought to receive the meat.
Her story was investigated, and found to.
be true IN every particular. The investi-
cation led, moreover, to the discovery of
the existence of great distress among the
peasants of the neighborhood. The neigh
boring authorities at once took measures
for the support of the three orphans. One
of them was given to the hunter, the invol-
untary cause of their mothers death. He
undertook to bring it up and launch it
we'll in life. The village undertook the
care of another. The authorities ordered
the head of the village to take charge Of
the third, because he should have ascer-
tanned the distress of the victim and her
family, and have prevented her, by his
charity, from being driven to the cruel ex-
tremity which caused her DEATH"

s5 Sir, George Staunton visited man
In India who lrad committed a murder
and in order not only to save his life, but
what was of much more consequence, his
caste, he submitted to the penalty imposed E;
this was, to sleep seven years on bed
stead, without any MATTRESSES, the whole
surface of which was studded with points of
iron, resembling nails, but not so sharp as
TO penetrate the flesh. Sir George saw him
in the tiftieth year of his probation, and his
skin was then like the hide of rhinoceros
but more callous; at that time, however,
he could sleep comfortably on his "bed OF
thorns," and remarked, that at the expira-
ton OF the term of his sentence he should
most probably continue that system from
choice, which he had been obliged to adj
dept from necessity.

IL you cannot on the ocean

Laughing at the storms you meet,

Anchored yet within the bay;
You can lend hand to holp them
AS they launch their boats away.

up the mountains, steep and high,
You can stand in the valley
While the muItitndes go by; I'D
You can chant in happy measures
AS they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
II You have not gold and silver
Ever rea''y to command,
II you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep;
You can be true disciple,
Sitting ut the Sayiour's feet.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself u soldier, too
If where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do;
When the battlefield is silent,
You Gan go with silent tread
You can bear away the wounded;
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you;
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear TO do and dare;
If you want field of labor,
You can find it ANYWHERE.

TIE EARS HEARING UNEoUALLY.-Herr
Fessel, Of Cologne, in making experiments
with tuning forks, has, by holding one to
each ear ct the same time, discovered that
the ears do not possess an equal power Of
hearing. 1t appears, from numerous trials
on different individuals, that the highest
tones are heard best with the right ear, and
no instance has yet been met with in which
the hearing was exactly alike on the two
sides of the head. This, however, is but q
refined demonstration of q popularity
which has long been popularity known, for
who has not heard persons speak of their
"best carp Still, a practical knowledge
of the subject may help in. the education
