LARVE.

Sir John Lubbock states that the form
of the Larvae of insects depends very much
on their mode of life. Thus, he says those
larvae which are internal parasites, wheth-
er in plants or in animals, are vermiform,
and the same is the case with those which
live in cells, and depend on their parents
for food. On the other hand, larvae which
burrow in wood have strong jaws and gen.
orally somewhat weak thoracic legs; those
which feed on leaves have the thoracic legs
more developed, but less so than the car
nlvorous species.
In the case of the sitaris, which is par
asite on the anthophora, NJ. Fabre finds
that the eggs are laid in the galleries of
the hive and Matched in September or
October, the young larva remaining in
stu without food until April following;
they then throw off their lethargy, but
instead of devouring the honey, as he ex-
pected, they turn away from it and are
unable to deal with it. Proceeding to a
more careful examination of the matter,
he discovered that the males of the antho-
phora emerge before the females, and as
they pass through the galleries the sitaris
Larvae fasten upon them. From the male
the larvae passes to the female bee when
the opportunity offers, and as the latter
lays her egg and fastens it up in cell with
honey, the sitaris larvae attaches itself to
the egg, which floats on the surface Of the
honey. Almost at once the larvae COM
mences to devour the egg-raft on which it
is resting. On this it feeds for about a
week; it then undergoes its first metamor-
phosis in the empty she'll, and, making its

THE HIRED GIRL.-There is one reason
why we should regret to have the present
troubles with domestic servants ended.
1t is because women derive so much pleas
ure from discussing the subject. Place
two women together, and it makes no
from, it will be perfectly certain to work
around to the hired girl question before
many minutes have elapsed. We have
seen an elderly house keeper, with expert
ence in conducting the talk in the right
direction, break into discussion of Py-
thagoras and the doctrine of the transmit
grafton of souls, and switch off the entire
debate with such expedition that an unso-
phisticated listener would for some mo-
ments have an indistinct impression that
the conversation referred to the inefficiency
of Pythagoras as washer and ironer, and
to the tendency of that heather phlloso-
pher to take two Thursdays out of every
week. And when a woman has an unusu-
ally villainous hired girl who burns up the
coal, wastes the butter, mixes her hair in
the biscuit, and stuffs her relations with
the sugar, it is interesting to observe how
she glores in the superiority of her suffer-
ings to those of her neighbors, and how,
as she tells of them, she gleats over her
misery and feels good about it. A woman
who has really competent servant is al
ways in condition of abject wrstchedness
on such occasions.

THE SLAVES OF BARBARY.-The num-
ber of the Christian slaves was immense.
For instance in the early part of sixteenth
century, Hayraddin employed no less than
80, 900 Christian slaves, for two years, in
constructing pier for the protection of
his ships at Algiers; and, a century later,
in Algiers and its surrounding district
alone, there were between $4,000 and 3d.
600 Christian slaves, French, Spanish,
English, Italians, Styrians, and even Rus
slams. There were three denominations of
slaves-those Of the State in the service of
the King or Dey. those Of the galleys en-
gagged in the seaports and the expeditions
of the pirates, and those belonging to indi-
viduals, either employed in domestic, farm,
and other labors, or dealt in as an article
of commerce, being sold and resold in the
same way as horses or cattle. The records
of the sufferlngs of the unfortunate cap
tives are truly heart-sickening. Immedi-
ately on their landing, they were stripped
of their clothes and sold; and then
covered with few rags and chang
ed, they were set to work, some in
the galleys, but the greater part in
the country, under scorching sun-ssme
in tilling the soil, some in cutting wood
and making charcoal, some in quarrying,
some in saving marble, some in the port,
up to the middle in water, for nine hours a
day; and all this under the whip of brutal
overseer. In many an instance, as describ-
ed by the missionaries, their skin peeled
off under the broling sun, and their tongues
lolled out from excessive thirst, which they
could not leave their work to quench. But
their physical suffering were fully equaled,
or rather surpassed, by the pangs of their
mental pain and moral degradation
While many endured this protracted mar
tyrdom rather than abandon the faith of
Christ, others, in their utterly subdued and
broken-dow state. embraced Islamism,
which Immediately procured them some al
deviation of the cruel treatment under
which they groaned. Driven to despera-
ton, several committed suicide, and num-
bers died from hardship.

OCTOBER'S SONG.
BY CONSTANCE F. wooLsoN.

go deep brown eyes," sang gay October,
Deep brown eyes running over with
glee;
Blue eyes are pale, and gray eyes are sober;
Bonnie brown eyes are the eyes for ME.
"Black eyes shine in the glowing summer
With red of rose and yellow of corn;
But cold they close when the still late
conner,
Silvery Frost, creeps over the morn.
blue eyes simmer with angel glances,
Like spring violets over the lea
But oh, my Grapes, my Wines, and my
Dances,
What have angels in common with me ?
$50, Gray Eyes! What know ye of laugh
ing,
Giddy with glee from the mere sunshine?
Go to your books? What know ye OF
Luscious juice from the riotous vine?
" All the earth is full of frolicking;
Growing is over; harvest is done;
All the trees are ready for rollicking,
Glowing scarlet with rustical fun.
"Stay, Brown eyes, in the purple weather,
A crown of oak leaves with maple blent
Shall deck your brow, while gayly together
We two will wander to hearts content. "
Thus October's wild voice was singing,
While on his pipe he cunningly played;
All the red woods with music were ringing,
And Brown Eyes listened, with footsteps
stayed
Waited to hear the song beguiling,
Listened and laughed through the sunny
day;
And earth and sky fell to merry smiling,
AS hand in hand they wandered away.

The manner of living among the work
ing men is deplorable. Their dwellings
are the garrets, cellars, and back build
ings, all of which are small, or else por-
toned off into small apartments, dirty and
unhealthy. Many take up their abode in
cabins in the open square, or along the
wider streets, where they sit during the
day exposing petty articles of merchandise.
In Rome, Naples, and other southern cit
les, they often live out of doors altogether,
night in the squares and parks. In swed-
en-, Poland, and some other northern coun-
tries, they take up lodgings with the cat
tie. Those who carry on their own bust
ness, as shoe-makers, often do all their
own work in the street. This is especially
so in the South.
"The dress and general appearance of
this class are no better than their dwell
ings. Much of their clothing is second
hand apparel that has been thrown off by
the rich. The general characteristics of
poor mans dress in Europe is good stuff
in bad condition. Here we see persons
literally in rags. In thuringia, the chill
dren often go entirely naked; in Italy, the
poor children and beggars 60 nearly SO.
The common blouse of the working men
all over Europe is what we would call
coarse shirt. They largely wear wooden
shoes, and bind their feet with rags for
stockings.
The food of this class is likewise bad,
and rarely ever sufficient for them, there
being much suffering and weakness from
this cause. Cheese takes largely the place
of meat in Germany, and fat of butter. 1t
is not uncommon in the rural provinces
for man to come home after hard days
work to supper of unbolted rye bread
and the salt water in which herring had
been picked. Only those in better circum-
stances can eat the herring. The stems
and leaves Of cabbages, turnips, and other
vegetables are eaten by this class; also
horse meat, blood, entrails, snails, and the
like. In Italy, they feed on coarse mush,
and are disqualified for any hard work
whatever. This class do not generally eat
at tables, but "take piece" as we would
say, each one eating when he feels like it,
or can get it. They do not always eat in
the house, but may be seen at all hours
eating in the streets. A chief reason for
so much beer and wine drinking in Europe
is, that with something of this kind the
working classes can make out to swallow
their dry crusts.''

HA polite young Bostonian, while in
church on a recent Sunday morning, Owed
down to the bottom of the pew to pick up
a parasel which fair neighbor had Just

the same moment saw the embroidered

THE ELECTION.

As might have been expected. the pure
minded editor OF the Rochester .ScntiRel
endeavors to blacken he character of Mr..
Raymond. the Republican candidate for
Judge. Mr.. Raymond certainly has the
good opinion of the citizens of his own
county and town. where he is best known.
There was no opposition to HIM there. In
Marshall county he had few votes, not
withstanding the popularity and the we'll
known excellent legal and social quail
ties of Col Shryock.
One objection the Democratic papers
in this district have to Mr. Raymond is,
that he is political candidate, nomina-
ted by the Republican party.
They claim that Judge Long was ap-
pointed by Gov. Hendricks, on account of
his legal requirements and upright char
acter. We have heard it said that the
reason given by the Governor is some
what different. Mayor Corbin of this city
was an applicant for the appointment. and
was generally considered here by his par
ty friends as the better man for the Office
but the Governor, looking to policy,
thought that the democrats of Marshall
county could elect Mr.. Corbin to a good
o ice if they desired to, but in kosciusko,
Ju lge Long or any other Democrat stood
no chance against Republican; so the
appointment was given to hungry Kos
ciusko county Democrat We have not a
word to say against Judge Long, but as
between him and Edgar Raymond, We es-
TEEN it the duty OF Republicans TO vote
for Raymond.

he receives more calls for drugs, than let
