Two weeks OF such warm and sprink-like

life-giving effect upon the grasshopper eggs.

This seemed to be the impression OF ali, and
many hive examined these deposit TO find. if
possible. what is their condition after this late
hard winter. The belief was quite prevalent
last fall that the few weeks OF very warm
weather which prevailed after the grasshoppers
had deposited their eggs was favorable to their
development. but that the sudden cold weather
which followed had entirely destroyed the
germ of life. What ever ground there may
have been for this theory, certain it is that
the eggs were not all destroyed. but many of
them contain evidence of life 10 make one be-
lieye that, with favorable weather. a lively
grasshopper will soon issue from nearly every

that his eycsight will be good, while the little
knots on his sides are pretty certain to grow
into MISUNDERSTANDING legs. inasmuch as
they contain life, it seems To us that they can't
hatch too soon. In the first place. there j.
nothing TO sustain them after they have hatch
ed. and in the second place, they will take to
themselves wings and be of at an early day
after they come out of the ground. In any

Horrors of a Turkish Execution.

As we walked about the town Yesterday
morning we could not avoid coming upon
five street executions and witnessing the
whole disgusting proceedings, not that
they were TO me any novelty, for during
the two or three daysI was in Adrianopie
1t seemed as If could never get out Of
the sight of men dangling in the air. AS
soon as a likely looking shop is reached
say one with sun blinds supported with
brackets-the officer cries &" HaltW and a
soldier, carrying stool and a rope, steps
on one side and arranges the latter over
the bracket. The man steps on 20 the
stool, the moose is placed around his
neck, and he is drawn off his feet There
is no drop, but in every case / am told.
the poor wretch dies justas those we saw
did-that is TO say instantaneously and
apparently with little pain, being, i'm
fact chOked, instead Of having his neck
broken. ] have dwelt upon this, not TO
satisfy the morbid craving for details i'm
such matters, but TO call the attention OF
some scientific man 10 the subject; for.
II your patent drops and new-faneled
hanging apparatus are not so merciful
as the older method Of hanging. then
our capital criminals are punished i'm ex-
cess Of what the law demands. 10 be
hanged by the neck till one is dead is n
different thing from having the neck
partially broken and the circulation of
the blood, and perhaps the nervous svs-
sem generally, stimulated into intense
activity.

Of human nature, has comparatively few

alimept by his aged and unhappy father.
whom, with his equally inGrm but not
quite so aged mother, this unnatural lad
was accused Of feeding literally on bread
and water, with but scant allowance
even Of these prime necessities. The old
couple had surrendered their all 10 this
son, no doubt with the idea that be would

Womnn,s Love of Appreciation.

Woman was not made To live alone
any more than man. All the actions of
woman, whether Of useful industry or of
ornament, are subject to the approval
and pleasure of the stcrner sex to which
their own are subordinate and on which
they are founded TO descend to the
humblest form OF this feeling, every one
knows that when woman has arraycd
herself in n pretty dress and new rib
bOns, or any inery, put on for the first
time, although the admiration of her fe-
male friends may give degree OF pleas
ure, IL is ms nothing compared to the
light that comes into the eye Of one
whose smallest compliment is Of more
value than that of n thousand women (;
and this feeling, modified by the circum-
stances Of individuals, runs through the
whole sex and is part Of the nature Of
their being, implanted in the heart by
the Divine Artificer TO produce the most
delicious fruits that grow in the garden
Of human life.
Women by themselves require little to
bc comfortable; they can live without
ostentatiOn, hustle or form; neither in
beauty Of raimcnt nor in delicacy Of food
can they find happiness, 80 long as they
have 10 90 themselves alone. They re-
quire 10 please themselves. a knot Of
old maids may, 10 be sure, be bitterly
merry over their tea and gossip, and out
wardly despise all men with profound
disdain; but there is something very un-
natural in that enjoyment, nor docs any
body suppose that the respectable
spiustcr's heart bounds with such sweet
human delight at the compliment Of her
female friends on her neat room, her pet
spaniel and strong tea, ~ the heart Of
the good wife when her husband tells her
how nicely she has cooked his supper
| and how sweet and pretty she looks in
that new dress u matters not whether
her husband be the master Of million,
or a salaried clerk whether his days be
spent i'm the sports of the field, the
drudgcry Of a profession or the labor Of
