THE BIRTH OF A FLY.

In q recent number of Nature Sir
John Lubbock gives q description
of the birth Of May fly, from a full
grown larva. Observingit to be in a
glisteningcondition he pIacedit under
microscope in a drop of water. In q
few moments the thorex opened along
the middle of the back. The two
sides turned over. The insect
literally walked out Of Itself, unfold
ed its wings,a and instantly flew up to
the window. This wonderful
metamorphosis takes ploce rapidly
and has been witnessed several
times. From the moment when the
skin first cracks not ten seconds are
over before the insect has flown
away. Like the ephemerae, or
dragon flies, at first dull, brown,
sluggish and ugly larvae, with six
legs, are developed in water. Not
so the ant lion, which passes its early
days in dry sand. In the american
Naturalist however. Professor Lock
wood supplements the observations Of
Sir John Lubbock with an account
of the reproductive process and says
that thirteen days are required to per-
feet the series of metamorphoses
Putting a live grub in eighty~6ve per
cent alcohol, he found it alive after
an immersion of one hundred and
thirty-fve minutes. a larva, seven
days old, lived twenty-seven minutes
in turpentine; another of the same
age, seventy minutes in the essence
OF peppermint; third ffty-three
minutes in Fowlers' solution of arse
mic.

NOT READY TO DIE.

The following is no fabric alton Of
an irreverent secular journal, but from
the orthodox Memphis Presbyterian
Travelling in his buggy alone, not
long ago, in going to one of his ap-
p0intments, one of our good brethren
in the Presbytery of Memphis over
took a foot-pad, with his carpet-bag
in his hand. The roads were muddy,
and he was just at the time about
entering a miry bottom. With the
politeness for which he is noted, he
asked the pedestrian Gan entire stran-
ger) if he would not take seat in
the buggy until, at least, they had
crossed the mud and the mire. The
invitation was readily accepted, and
the conversation. for time was free
and easy, about things ordinary and
general. Presently, however, the
good brother, with view to make
the conversation profitable, asked the
stranger If he a0a8 ready TO dae? Not
knowing the character Of the person
who had invited him to seat with
him, and misapprehending his mean
ing and suspectlng foul play, he wait
ed not to reply, but sprang from the
buggy Immediately, and ran for life
through slush and water. The cler-
ical brother, wishing TO assure the
stranger that he meant no harm, call
ed to him at the top OF his voice to
stop! But this only fastened his
speed, and, like a scared hare, be ran
until beyond hearing and sight. In
his hasty fight he left his carpet-sack
which our brother now has in his
possession, being the richer for his
faithfulness by the addition Of a
coarse shirt, a pair Of thread pare
trousers, and little 'backer.'"

FREAKS OF.LIGHTNING.

~ E
At the last sitting of the French
Academy of Sciences, a letter wal
read from MA. Parent, giving al
account of the effects of yiolen
stroke of lightning which fell on the
26th ult. at Troyes, (Aube) in cen,
trail quarter of the town, with noise
equal to the report of several pieces
Of artillery. The phenomenon seems
to have been confined to the Rue dc
la Monnaie, where, at No. 81, young
girl, who was standing on the thresh-
old of her dwelling,saw fiery globe,
Of the size of an orange, fall at her
feet, then roll along the street, and
disappear. She experienced violent
shock, causing a trembling that did
not cease until the following day.
The pins in hair were torn away, as
we'll as all the metal articles she had
about her person. Her father who
was leaning against the iron bars of a
window Of the next house, was paraI-
yzed for few seconds, and did not
recover from the commotion for sew
eral days. AT No. "a, same street,ln
the ELECTION House," as it Is called,
the electric fluid fell on a turret be-
hind the house, pierced a hole through
the weather cock, slid down the roof
along the zinc which covered it, got
inside by loosening the beams that
supported the, woodwork, broke
through partition, then through the
floor into the lower story, made its
way through wall into garrett, got
out through window, ran along the
spouts and pipes laid down to the
next story thence passed to the next
house, broke into a warehouse where
there were some iron stoves with the
usual cast-iron ornaments, such as
wreaths, flowers, etc., all of which it
faithfully designed on the ceiling,w
the precision of photography; then
melted the wire of bell, the trace of
which If left on the wall and at
length took fancy to some gilt
rods intended for sale and
up in paper. These it en-
riched with fantastic but elegant de-.
signs, and after a few more vagaries
took its leave.

LOOK HAPPY.

Look happy, if you do not feel SO.
Present a cheerful exterior, though
your heart ana mind be troubled.
Never wear face which, as Sidney
Smith says, sis breach of the peace. !"
Dr.. johnson used to observe that the
habit of looking on the best side of
things was worth more to a man than
a thousand pounds year, and Sam
uel Smiles observes: We possess the
power to great extent of so exercis-
ing the will as to direct the thoughts
upon objects calculated to yield hap
piness and improvement rather than
their opposites. In this way the hap
it Of happy thought may be made to
spring up like any other habit. And
to bring up men or women with a
genuine nature of this sort, good
temper and happy frame of mind is,
perhaps, of even more Importance, In
many cases, than to perfect them in
much knowledge and many accom-.
plishments.

YOUR WORKMEN.

What would you think of farmer who
brought home a sick sheep, even if Of
the most valuable stock, and turned it
loose among his flock? Yet his folly and
sin is light compared With that of man
who will knowingly employ an unprinci
pied man on his place, where his growing
boys must associate more or less with him
and listen to his evil conversation. It isa
small matter to have thousand sheep in
fected and destroyed by the contagious
one brought among them. But it is
fearful thing to have your boys very soul
corrupted, as it will bt, perhaps, by one
hour of such association. One drop Of
iodine will discOlor many thousand times
its bulk of water. You would not drink
from cup into which one drop of sewer
water had fallen; you regard the whole
as polluted. So ten minutes talk Of one
whose soul is seething and reeking Vith
fOulncss may reach down IN it's evil inhu-
eLce to your child's gray hairs. Better
let your crops rot in the fields chan to ruin
your lad for this life and the next. It is
net sufficient Offset that he is the best
workman to be had Better put up with
inferior heIp,so that you are satisfied with
she mans morals.
There is no time when father Or a
mother can afford not to watch, and pray,
too, over the welfare Of their growing
children. Watch their reading, for here
the enemy is sowing great crop OF tares
in one day. Form taste for good read
ing, early. Let your home abound In
good books and only the best papers
Shan the sensational prints, so widely
circulated, as you would deadly snake
they have cut down many thousands"
Don't allcw your mind to be so engross
ed, mother, with the outside adjoining O.
your daughters that you forget the inneI
life. If you are blind to it, the sowel
that goes out to SOW deadly seeds will no
be. And if these seeds are not sown they
will spring up. You can easily check tn
sweet flowers from growing In your Dor
ders but you know how hard it is tx
keep the weeds down. Only vigilapc
can ensure success--just so with the heart
garden. Then watch well and work well
and pray well.

MERCHANT SCIENTISTS.

The Pail Mall Gazette says
''There is in Hamburg a mercantile
as devoted to tie interests of science
as to those Of trade. Messrs God
effroY, South Sea merchants employ
their fleet of fve-and twenty mer-
chants not only to carry on their bus
mess, but to obtain information of all
kinds relating to geography, ethnolo-
gy and natural history of the South
Sea Islands and Australia for peri
odical published by them from time
to time, and to collect curiosities for
the museum established in connection
with it. The following singular fact
was lately recorded in the Journal of
the Godefroy Museum An English
man residing in one of the South Sea
Islands possesses the, faculty of dis
corning the approach of vessel a
day or two before it becomes visible,
and even of discerning its shape, and
whether it is brig, a schooner, or a
bark. He states that 1t is possible to
discover ships which by reason of the
shape OF the earth are not perceptl-
BILE by the direct action Of sight, by
means Of the vapors that collect on
the horizon at certain height above
any solid object. The shape of the
little cloud thus formed enables him
to determine that Of the vessel be-
meath the horizon. He adds that such
observations can only be relied upon
in clear weather, and when made
from high ground"

AS REGARDS SPIDERS.

Morally, the spider has bad rep
utation, and is the subject Of many
vile epithets; but, when compared
with its accusers, it presents by nj
means bad case. The Arachnidiar
ethics are in many respects strikingly
coincident with lnore ambitious sys
TENS. The spider practises the viz
tues of industry, patience. and per
severance, under difficulties. The
female is an affectionate parent, anc
very fond Of her young. About June
che garden spider makes up her little
packet of eggs, and encloses them in
snow-white silken envelope, and
carries it ABOUT with her wherever
she goes. If it is forcibly removed,
she remains on the spot. hunting in
every direction, and evidently in great
distress and if the white ball be laid
near her she soon spies it, darts at it
almost fiercely, and carries it off
"When the time comes for the little
spiders to make their appearance in
the world, the mother tears open the
envelope, and so aids her young to
escape. As soon as they are fairly
out of the egg, they transfer them
selves to the body Of their parent,
where they cling in such nu nbers
that she is hardly visible under her
swarming brood. They remain with
their mother through the winter, and
In the following spring the bonds of
mutual affection are loosened, and the
young dispense to seek their own Iiv-
ing" If thespider is askilful hunt
er and an ingenious trapper, SO are
the heroes of many novels; but the
animal has not yet been known to
indulge its predaceous practices in
the way of mere wanton sport 1t is
merciless and cruel, like inquisitors
and tyrants, but does not perpetrate
its cruelties on the ground of differ
ence Of opinions. 1t is moved by
self-inte1est, the alleged basis of all
political economy. The spider ''must
live, you know" and it is maxim
with it to ''look out for number one;"
while it has a high appreciation of
the advantages of ''corner lots," but
in all this it is by no means singular.
Besides, the spider contributes it's
share to the general veal. What
would this world come to, if the flies
could have their own way in it with
out let or hindrance? Killing flies is
necessary and righteous thing, and
as it is jointly undertaken by men,
women and spiders, for purposes of
common benifcence, each should
have an aliquot share of the honor.

A writer in the Medical Record
commends the use of borax, as
remedy for the hoarseness or loss Of
voice common among public speakers
and singers. A few minutes before
any continuous exercise of the vocal
organs, small lump, three or four
grains, of borax is to be slowly dis
solved in the mouth and gradually
swallowed. The solution acts upon
the orifice of the CLOTHS and the vo-
cal cords precisely as "wetting" acts
upon the notes of the flute. 1t is
also stated that five grains of nitre
taken in a glass Of water, the body
being wrapped in extra clothing, will
excite gentle perspiration for an
entire night; and this treatment will
break up a cold if employed at its
first onset.-Detroit Reviea0 Of Med.
