About Flies.

The generally received opinion about
flies is. that despite lmitlcss ingenuity ex-
pended on patent traps and poisoned pt-
per, they form one of those ills of life
which, it not being possible entirely to
cure, must pcrforcc be endured with rs
good u grace as may be. Consequently,
when they ruin our picture frames and
ceilings. in>inulte themselves into our
milk and molasses pitchers, or lull us to
sleep with their drowsy buzzing, only to
bite us during our slumher. and render the
same uneasy. we thank fate that cold wealth
er will rid us of the pest.
Did yor ever watch n fly which had Just
alighted after soaring about the room for
some little time? He goes through series
Of operations which remind you Of a cat
licking herself after II meal, or Of 4 bird
pluming its feathers. First, the hind feet
are rubbed together. then each hind leg is
passed over Il wing. then the fore legs un-
dergo a like treatment; and lastly, if you
look sharp, You will see the insect carry
his probocis over his legs and about his
body Is far rs he can reach. The minute
trunk is perfectly ret actile. and it termi-
nate, in two large lobcs, which you Can
see spread out when the insect beg ins 4
meal on a lump of sugar. Now the rub
bing together of legs and wings may be 4
smoothing operation: but for what pur.
pose is this carefully going over the body
with the trunk. esp cially when that o:gar
is not fitted for licking. but simply grasp
ing and sucking up food9
This query. which may perhaps have
suggested itself to thousands, has recently
for the first time been answered by MI

THE BATTLE FLAGS.

The following beautiful poem, bv Nose
Owen. is appended in large type to tn
case containing the battle flags of th'
Maine regiments. in the rotunda of tn
State House, at Augusta:
Nothing but flags-but simple flags,
Tattered and torn and hanging in rags:
And we walk beneath them with careless tread
Nor think of the hosts OF the mighty dead,
That have marched beneath them in days gone b.
With a burning cheek an / kindling eye.
AMI have b,th, their hal. With their young
hfes tide
And dying, blessed them, and blessing died.
Nothing but flgs-yet, methink at night
They tel eacn other their tale of fright;
AMI dim spectres come, and their thin arms twinc
Round each standard torn they stand in line,
As the word Is gven-!hey charged they form!
And The dim hall rings it'll the battle storm,
AMI once again through the smoke and strife
Those colors lead to 4 Nations strife.
Nothing but hags-yet they're bathed with tears
They tell of triumphs of hopes-of fears;
Ofm )thers prayers-of boy away
OF Il serpent crushed-of the coming day!
Silent they speak, and the tear will start.
As We stand beneath them W ith thorbbins heart.
And think those who are ne'er forgot
i heir ii lss come h)me-why come they not,
Nothing but hisS-yct we hold our breath
And gaze with awe at those types OF death,
Nothing but fls,-yct the thou sht will come
1 he neart must pray though the lips be dumb.
They are sacred, pure, and we stain
Ol Ia p1e dear, loved fl t.., come hon, ayI lin;
BlptiZ Il in blood, our pures', best,
Tatiered and torn they re now at rest.

after years Mr.. Cadell, then "A guest at

found to possess quite sufficient rigidity To
be passed without difficulty into the >tom-
