Once, when coming from the city,
Long silent, shady ride,
Near sadly smiling church yard
Little msidens l espied,
Three in number. Golden tresses
Hung their white brows softly DER;
Pensive looks slept on their features
As they read the marbles lore.
Little maidens," then whispered,
"Why come here 7 and why so sad ?
Does not mother nature offer
Happy scenes to make you glad ?"
"Lo" the children slowly answered,
Pointing to the skies so fair.
.Thou canst not unfold our secrets,
Bright they live forever there"
Ill.
"Tell me them" said with wonder,
"Are you spirits from the shore
OF the softly rolling Lethe9 :"
Have you drank for overmors

We are Angels from Above

knowledge. There are those who
wish to know, only that they may
know il is curiosity; that they may
be known-it is vanity; that they may
sell their knowledge for money or
honors-it is greed; that they may
edify others-it is charity; that they
may be edifed-it is prudence. The
grand idea Of knowledge is to acquire
truth.

DEATH WArcH.-Mr. Davis says
"The authorities upon this subject dis
agree, and refer the matter to you.
Harris, in his Treatise, speaks of it as
being Neuropterous insect, and Web.
ster calls it a beetle. Propably there
are two kinds of insects called by the
same name"
Probably most people have heard
the ticking sounds III The walls, especi,
ally of old houses, exactly resembling
the ticking Of a watch, and to which has
been given the ominous tite of Death
watch. 1t is now pretty well deter
mined, as Mr.. Davis suggests, that
this sound is produced by two very
different kinds of insects; one a small
insect belonging to the Neuropterous
genus Psocas which is the one spoken
of by Harris, and the other a small
beetle, referred to by Webster, belong.
ing to genus Aaobi,m in the family Of
Pinid@. AS these sounds are usually
heard at the pairing season in the
spring, it has been conjectured that
they are love calls between the sexes
somewhat analogous to the drumming
Of the partridge.
The Weekly Washington telegraph., 1871-06-07


The manner in which this sound is
produced is not very well understood.
Some have described it as being caused
by the insect striking its claws upon the
surface on which it stands; but Mr..
Westwood came to the conclusion,
from long series Of observations, that
it is produced by the larvae gnawing
their way through the wood on which
they feed.
This systematic sound, produced by
an unseen cause, was regarded in for
mer and more superstitious times, as
the warning of some mysterious power,
betokening death in the family. 1t is
surprising how widely this superstition
has prevailed. The poet Gay alludes
to it in the following line:
"The solemn Death.watch clicked the
hour she died."
1t thus appears that these obscure
insects were really the first spirit
rappers; and if there be any honor
attached 10 that priority, it should be
fairly allotted to them.

HEAVEN ON EARTH.

HEA EN YIN EAhlI IL.
When gifted girls in their hours of
musing east the horoscope of their lives,
and paint a rosy future, the picture is
not perfect unless it contains the model
home. Those that are Eighty and ro-
mantle may use the language of Claude
Melnotte and see in their dreams
"A palace lifting to eternal Summer
Its marble walls, from out glossy bower
OF coolest foliage musical with birds
Whose songs should syllable their names,H
But the average American girl is too
sensible for that. She knows that pal
aces are no every day structures in our
work day world, and recent events in
Europe have taught us that those who
live in palaces are not the happiest of
mortals; but she does sketch pleasant
village or country home, a front yard
odorous with roses and bright with
violets, a parlor with warm tinted bro
catelle and cozy arm chairs. The gen.
tleman who is the central figure of this
scene isintelligent, virtuous and noble;
he is all consideration, fidelity and truth;
his home is the dearest place on earth;
he never leaves his door without kiss;
his eyes dance with delight when he
drives in at the front gate; their love
like old wine gains flavor and mellow
ness as the years pass on, and wrapped
In the warm folds of an affection ever
fresh and ever r,',i;.y y.tbseS.t that
Adar- sas rgarnai-S,..oy forgeS -,
..densssTwas expelled from the eastefh +
gate Of Paradise, that the earth was
cursed, that Sarsar frosts may scar the |
tree Of life and its golden fruitage at
the hight Of its succulence. Now,
dear girls this sketch is not taken right |
out of one Of Bulwers novels as it
seems to be. In the numerous and !
gratifying letters that pour into this
column week after week, this edtress
catches glimpses of many home as
bright as hope and as warm as love can
make them. Nothing can so surely re-
plenish the fountain of domestic sweets
as the consciousness of growth in the
true honor and worthy achievement,
and this must be mutual. The lamp
of love must be trimmed and filled with
odorous oil the garden of the heart
must be TILED and fertilized and irri,
gated. The wife who would absorb
more qnd more of the large heart of a
noble husband, must do it by an ever
growitg s and more resplendent woman,
hood.
Let he girl who would change this
dream into reality determine that
neith4 the demands of the kitchen,
- outcry of the nursery, nor the plat,
itude of the parlor shall ever keep her
from feeding her intellect with the pure
food of knowledge, and warming her |
heart with perpetual aspirations toward |
things higher and better. Where two
persons are united in the pursuit of
what is noblsst and best, where thei,
hearts are full of gentleness and warm
with charity, they will not need novels
or roses or glowing tapestries to make
their home a heaven. Their honey
moon will run into the years of bIanch-
ing hair and wriHkling cheek. Good !
ness has made them superior to physi,
cal attractions, and 'inn unimportant
sense they have already entered within
the pearly gates Erchange.
