each better than the last, until the climax of
the feast was reached in locusts served with
honey. This last dish convinced those present
that even in Scripture times they knew some
thing about luxurious living. 1t has often
been said that the man who ate the first oyster
was one of remarkable courage, though his
name is lost to history; but in future times
when locusts shall be sold in our markets by
the dozen, and laws are passed for the better
preservation of this valuable game" posterity
will remember Riley and his associates as the
first Americans who entertained the locust at
dinner. All levity set aside, why not eat in
sects? These locusts feed on the fat If the land
and why should we not in turn eat them? 1t
is against our prejudices, butiwhen we cody
consider the matter, the locust is really no
more repulsive than a shrimp, or even an oys-
ter, and that they are really acceptable to the
palate these gentleman enthusiastically de-
clare. To our notion, Prof Riley and his
guests did really good thing. In portions of
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and elsewhere,
people were actually suffering with hunger
with all the while untold quantities of food
around them; not only food which will sus-
tain life but of remarkably palatable kind;
and whatever jocular remarks may be made
about this hopper dinner, we think that the
gentlemen who partook of it, did an eminently
good work and one which in future years may
prevent much suffering.

Slow Pay, and the Results.

Many farmers are "slow pay from
an idea that if men get their board and
lodging they ought to be content, and
think it half favor to pay at all.
"The idea,' says Mr.. S.. ''of a
fellows being in such hurry for bis
| wages, when he knows it is safe, and be
will get it all some time" But is this a
fair view? Suppose you had to pay in
advance, how would you like your en-
ployee to work only few days at a
time, simply coming to make up his
month some time !? But the case is the
reverse; you obtain the work in ad-
vance, and when it has been done-a
months work in a months time-is it
right to take three months to pay him
in? It is very apt to make man lose
interest in his work, and confidence in
you. for the man will argue: Ifthe
boss cannot pay me now, when he owes
me little, is he likely to pay when be
owes more? As the debt increases, 80
does the feeling, and the man becomes
lazy and Indifferent, often insolent-
three things no one ought to put up
with, but the slow pay is often helpless,
for probably he has no easy method Of
raising the sum be owes. No one who
has net tried can tell how quickly even
ten dollars month amounts up if it is
let lie. 49,
Some farmers don't pay, for fear Of
their help leaving them. This is not
only unjust to the help, but hurtful to
those who do it. IF a man wants to
go. let him ; it may troubls you some
what at the time, but he is apt to give
more trouble if he stays against his will. /
The excuse Of being too poor to pay up
is contemplate. If you have not the
money and do not expect to have it, /,
don't hire aHy men. Slow payment is
an excellent incentive to dishonesty.
A man works, not only for his beard,
but for money to supply him thou
sand little things. If be has not cash
for these. and you won't give it when
be wants it-ten to one good many
vegetables, some fruit and an occasional
fowl will 60. and not into your pocket,
and l do not suppose your man to be
very bad, but simply of the common
run. ~ i#
Never let man ask for his money ; /
the day his time is up. hand him bis
pay. Ifhe is good workman. add
few words of praise-it won't hurt him.
If he is good-for-no nothing kindly show
him the gate.

Barney Maginn, our coroner, summon
ed a jury in hot haste. and in few
moments obtained verdict that "tht
deceased, Thomas Brown, came to his
death from apoplexy" About an hour
afterward, however, Mr.. Brown began
to revive, and soon be was as we'll as
ever He was subject to cataleptic fits
and this was one of them. The eoro-
ner heard of Browns return to- life just
after he had collected his fees, and he
called on Brown, The following con-
versation ensued:
Coroner.-"Do you have these fits
often Mr.. Brown?'
Brown-"Quite frequently"
Coroner-"And you always appear
to be perfectly dead?" ~
Brown-'I believe So"
Coroner-"Well. Mr.. Brown. I
want to make you an offer. Things are
dull round here now. Nobody drop
pin off suddenly; nobody gettin' stab
bed, or drinkin' pisin. It's rough on
me. / don't scare up fee once a
month. I don't. 'pon my soul. Now
s'possn' you and me were to strike up
little kind of an arrangement by which
whenever you have fit we'd let on you
were dead, and I'd set on you and hold
an inquest I'd go half and half with
you on the profits"
Brown-"Can't say that it strikes
me favorably, Mr.. Maginn"
Corener.-"Itll be clear gain for
you. l might get couple of hundred
inquests year out of man like you.
There's money in it. It's the most
beautiful idea 1 ever heard Of. I'll
treat you right if you'll 60 in. Seems
to me it's splendid opening for yes.''
Brown.-"I believe I won't Mr..
Maginn."
Coroner.-''Not as personal favor
to me? Not to accommodate friend
who is hard up? Think Of the profit!
Why, I'll guarantee you four hundred
dollars year. It's big thing"
Brown. .-"I don't like it,"
Coroner-"Come now I'll 60 you
thirds, and you can have two fits day
if you want to-"
Brown.-"Can't do it, / tell you"
Coroner look here! I'll
ix you. You mind me. You're legally
dead anyhow The law says you're a
corpse. I've had one inquest on you,
and if the community had its rights
you'd a been chucked into sepulcher
ten hours ago. Now if you don't come
into this thing bust nae open if l don't
keep you from votin' at the next cleo

BY ROSE TERRY.
Darling of the forest!
Blossoming alone,
When Earth's grief is sorest
,a For her jewels gone
Ere the last snow drift melts
Your tender buds have blown,
Tinged with color family,
Like the morning sky
Or more pale and sanity,
Wrapped in leaves We lie
Even as children sleep
In faiths simplicity.
There the wildwood robin
Hymns your solitude,
And the rain comes sobbing
Through the budding wood.
While the low south wind sighs,
But dare not be more rude.
90" Were your pure lips fashioned
Out of air and dew;
Starlight unimpassioned,
Dawn's most tender hue
And scented by the woods
That gathered sweets for you.
Fairest and most lonely,
From the world apart,
Made for beauty only, :.
Yelled from Natures heart,
With such unconscious grace
As marks the dream of art
Were not mortal sorrew
An immortal shade,
Then would tomorrow
Such a flower be made,
And live in the dear woods,
Where my lost childhood played.
