The Two squirrels-
There were two squirrels
That lived In WOOD
The one was naughty,
The other was good.
The naughty ones name was Dandy Jim,
His mother was very fond OF him
The good ones name was Johnny Hack,
He had beautiful fur upon bis back,
And he never went near the railroad track.
But Dandy Jim,
Alas for himl
He ran away,
One summer day,
Over the hills and far away;
And his mother sought for him far and near,
But never q word Of Jim could she hear;
For crossing the track,
The railroad cars ran over him,
And that was the end Of Dandy Jim.
But Johnny Black,
He always came back,
Whenever he went from home away,
He knew that at home was the place 10 stay.
He minded his mother where'e. he might be,
He thought that his mother knew better than he.

The POTATO BUG. The Newark IN. }. J
Advertiser states that 10 the great potatorals-
ing regions OF Delaware the farmers are gravely
considering the expediency of abandoning the
usual custom of planting late crops and from
present appearances it is very doubtful II 10
the region of country around Philadelphia that
enough potatoes will be raised to meet home
consumption until Fall. As a result of this
general scare, the potato crop is likely to be
reduced to fraction of its usual quantity. ln
the southern part of the peninsula Of Della
ware, Maryland aud Virginia, the potato bug
has already made such havoc that many farm
ers have ploughed up the potato fields and
have planted corn instead 1t is said that 10
New York and the Eastern States the same
thing is in contemplation among many OF the
farmers. The destruction aud abandonment OF
the crop would certainly have most calami-
tous effect, even though no actual suffering were
caused. The alternative is a vigorous ADD per-
scyeriug warfare against the destroying insect.
1t is stated that there is Nemesis IN the shape
of a bug, somewhat larger than ady-bug, and
of the beetle tribe, which has appeared among
the potato bugs within the past few days, and
is said to voraciousy devour their eggs. Ii
this is the same insect that is said to have fol
lowed the bugs 10 their eastward march from
the Rocky Mountains, and usually exterml-
mates them 10 couple of years, We will have
potatoes in year or so as abundanly as Tor
merly, but meanwhile there should be aD
earnest effort Oh the part of the farmers to get
rid of this obnoxious pest. Aids may be Oh,
tanned in the ordinary lady-bugs, and 10 the
green tiger beetles, spiders and other insects,
which should be encouraged as allies against
the potato bug, to which they are decidedly
inimical By persistently and industriouoy
fighting the destroyer in every possible way,
those engaged in raising potatoes may save at
least portion of their crop.
