Arctic Mosquitoes.

In work recently published in London
--''The Land of the North Wind or,
Travels among the Laplanders and the
Samayeder" author, Edward Roe,
gives the following account Of the Arctic
mosquitoes, which almost makes us con
tent with our own:
1.-The one bitter drop in our cup Of joy
was the monstrous but inseparable curse Of
Arctic summer life--the mosquito. He
abounded, fourished, luxuriated, surpassed
himself, out-mosquitoed himself, on the
Kuloi river. We were at his mercy; our
wells, gauntlets, handkerchiefs, fapper, all
were vanity and vexation. To kill was
wanton, for to destroy sufficient was i'm
possible. We had foreseen all this, and
had even thought Of taking, among other
things, woodpecker from home with us
to protect our faces while we slept; but
one woodpecker would have been a solemn
mockery; we should have wanted fresh
woodpecker every five minutes. Isuppose
these were the historical flies sent to pun
ish the disobedient, obstinate Egyptians /;
they came fourth in order, and after three
grievous plagues--the corruption of the
waters, the multitude of frogs, and the
swarms Of lice-had entirely failed.
We are becoming connoisseurs in
mosquitoes; we watch them traverse our
wells like figures on slides in a magic
lantern. There is the yellow striped VAN
pire mosquito, with triple fang to his
proboscis there is the brown, humpbacked
or camel mosquito, with legs of gossamsr,
who appears to our vindictiye eyes to be
from two to three inches in length finally,
there is the scorpion n-mosquito, very search
ing and business.like. We dislike him
greatly, for he wastes no time. We know
now that leather is hollow de lusion, and
armorplated gauntlets are alone Of avail.
" Sometimes a mosquito comes and kills
himself by squeezing between our finger
and thumb, sometimes by flying against
my fapper. There are moments, but so
rare and delicious that almost tremble to
describe them, when we find mosquito
who has anchored himself by the proboscis
in our gloves--and we watch the express
sion Of baffied hatred in his countenance
with which he watches the approach of
the avenging finger. o the peaceffl,
blissful enjoyment ofthat moment Some
times we watch him, in his anxious, hurried
efforts to pierce the glove-he knows that
time is all he needs--standing upon his
forelegs, with his hind legs Aourishing in
the air, while he bores away diligently
through the thick leather in his wicked
thirst for blood. Sometimes in our frenzy
We ensnare a mosquito and get Up and
trample on his head. We ask ourselves in
hours past endurance why the law Of ma
ture should be reversed, and Man, the
lord Of creation, become the prey Of
savage creatures We have formed a
grave II impious resolution we win take
mosquito by stratagem, pinion him, and, /,
with the help Of burning glass, offer him
in sacrifice to the Midnight Sun"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1875-05-29
Getting Married.

Every Young girl, w-a-days, expects
to get rich husband; aud therefore rich
men ought to be abundant In the coun-
try, We admit that girls are sometimes
brought up with an idea Of work, and with
a suspicion that each may chance to wed
a sober, steady, good-looking, industrious
young man, who will be compelled to earn
by severe labor the subsistence Of himself
and family. There are not 50 many
brought up with such ideas, now, even in
the country, as there used to be but there
are some, and they, consequently, learn
how to become worthy helpmates to such
worthy partners. But in town it is differ
ent. From the highest to the lowest class
in life, the prevailing idea with all is, that
marriage Is to lift them, at once, above
all exertion; and even the seryant-girl
dresses and reasons as II she entertained
romantic confidence in her Cindcrela-like
destiny Of marrying prince, or, at least,
OF being fallen in love with and married
by some wealthy gentleman If not by some
nobleman in disguise.
This is why so many young men fear to
marry. The young women they meet with
are all SO imbued with notions Of marri-
age so utterly incompatible with the ordi-
nary relations of life in their station they
are so wholly inexperienced in the econo-
my of the household they have been
taught, or have taught themselves, such
" noble disdain" for all kinds Of family
industry; they have acquired such expec-
tations of lady-like ease and elegance in
the matrimonial connection, that to wed
any one Of them is to secure lifelong
lease Of domestic unhappiness, and pur-
chase wretchedness, poverty and despair.
All this is wrong and should be amend
ed. Such fallacies do not become a sensi-
BILE age or sensible people. Our grand
fathers and mothers had more wisdom than
this. The present age is much too fast a
one in this respect. Let US sober down
little. Let every young woman be taught
the ideas Of life and expectations of mar
riage suitable to her condition, and she win
not be SO frequently disappointed. Should
she be fortunate and wed above that con-
dition, she may readily learn the new du.
ties becoming 1t, and win not have been
injured by having possessed herself Of
those fitting a station below. Let her an
ticipate always marriage with one in the
humber walks Of life--and then, should
she happen to do better, her good fortune
will be only the more delightful.
