Two young men sat on the piazza of

September evening, smoking their
meerschaums, and silently listening to
the chipping Of the tree-toads and the
other various sounds that usher in a
night in the country.

From our Young Folks.


Not many years ago there lived q man

ly fond of studying the habits of ami

almost all his time to the observation of
insects, becoming what is termed by
scientific men an entomologist He had
from time to time placed in his garden
the dead bodies of moles and mice. and
as often had missed them. for they all
soon disappeared in mysterious man
ner. He determined one day TO dis
cover if possible the cause Of this: so
he placed himself on guard over one or
two fresh bodies, and commenced his
watch. 1t was not long before he be-
held some beetles alight upon them
Just such beetles as you have brought IN

through the whole of their work. which
ended in the burial of the dead bodies
Not feeling satisfied with this. and
wishing to watch their proceedings
more carefully, he captured four of
these insect grave-diggers and ENGAGED
them within a glass case half filled with
earth, placing upon the surface of the

buried in twelve hours. and the other

The male now drove off the female,
and continued the work all alone for
five long hours, now lifting up the body,

fatigued with hard work. he came forth.
and resting his head upon the earth,

Upon his own account. you know.
But he : so bashful. | believe

And try ii, when he comes again.

I've always met him at the bars,
And talked as any woman won Ill
That had a lover whom she liked.
And waited with her heart aglow,
For him 10 break the subject first
And then how quick she'd let him know
But John. he keeps coming still,

it at gulp.
Refilling the glass, the professor made
his subjects acknowledge the water to
be wine, whisky, soda, castor'oil,
lemonade, etc, with entire success.
Experiment followed experiment with
startling rapidity. Now a young
plough.boy imagined himself a veloci-
pede. and tumbled about the stage
Oh his hands anG feet-a very good
imitation. A young lady, who had
never sung note in her life, suddenly
developed extraordinary musical abill-
ty, and accomplished Shells OF Ocean
with wonderful accuracy and melody.
One rather foppish young gentleman
who was stopping at the Assmiquld,
and who had been very attentive to
Maggie Campbell, placed himself in
very ludicrous position by being con-
WINGED by the professor that he was
candle, and going about asking every
body to light his fieryred hair AT last
the professor set them all to following
out, each, his own special idiosyncrasy
and then the scene was like Bedlam let
loose.
They danced, sung, preached, laughed,
cried, fought-until suddenly, with
stern voice, the professor called them
to order. In an instant they were
quiet and as the professor went from
n lily
before each, one and all rubbed their
eyes, and were sane as ever again, but
all entirely ignorant Of what they had
been doing during the two hours OF the
professors experiments. With neat
speech, that gentleman bowed himself
from the stage, accompanied by loud
applause and, as the lights were put
out, every one went home full of adj
miration for his wonderful power and
his graceful eloquence.
The next morning the young ladies
were delighted to find Jack Savage and
Tom Wetherell in their seats at the
table, they having returned-as they
eXplained-at about five o'clock, but
without any fish, at which the girls
Jjeered them numerically, though they

Somehow or other. the two young
men suddenly became very flush of
money-paid their hotel BILL fed all
the servants. and started for New York
in high glee, having first accompanied
Mrs. Campbell to the railroad depot,
where most atfectionate parting took
place all round.
And | never knew how they got their
money, until | spent last Christmas
with Jack and Tom and their wives, in

then Maggie told me, laughing until

The Heather Chinee.

The movement to introduce Chinese
labor in louisiana appears to be sue
cesstul. Many of the richest and most
influential planters OF the State are en-.
gagged in it as stockholders in the Lou
isiania immigration Company with
capital of S25O,OOO, in 800 shares. A
Mr.. Payne, who is at present in China
as agent for several individual planters.
has engaged one thousand laborers in
that country. and expects to reach Lou
isiana with them in time for the plant
ing Of the next crop. They have all
been selected from the agricultural dis.
tricts of China. and they have agreed to
to work for eight or ten years for IS a
month in gold. The Chinese at present
in Louisiana live in perfect harmony
with the negroes. They are nearly all
unmarried young men, and are neat
and excellent workmen. They also APP
pear to be perfectly contented. They
are paid Sl3 month in currency. Their
cabins are kept with great care and
cleanliness. No doubt Louisiana will
soon have large Chinese population.
