A FEW feas have lately been seen in Yuma by old Californians too familiar with these insects to be mistaken. One was shown us-a dead one-which seemed to be of the large, man-eating variety of San Diego. They must have come in the cars, as heretofore none have ever been seen in Yuma county: they could never before get across the California desert.

A Grasshopper Weather.Vane.

On the top of The Royal exchange, in
London, is a curious weather-yane, not
like any other in England, Or perhaps in
the world. 1t is huge grasshopper, and
the following account shows how it came
to be put up there:
About $50 years ago, woman, with a
little baby in her arms, was trudging
along country lane. Presently, after
looking to see that no one was watching
her, she climbed over the gate into a
field, and wrapping the baby in its little
shawl, she laid it down in the grass, SO
gently as not to awake it, and then,never
even looking behind her, she climbed
over the gate again into the lane, on her
journey.
The baby soon woke. and began to cry,
and it cried for long, long time. And
at last, tired and hungry, and hot with
the sun, for it was a fine summers day,
it was wearied out and dropped off to
sleep again. 'sBut God had heard the
voice Of the lad"
By-andby down the lane came a
schoolboy. He was whistling away, as
happy as ever could be; he had come out
of school and was going home. He lived
at the farmhouse little way further up
the lane. Now ne gathered few prim-
roses, now he had a shy at bird; but
just as he came to the gate over which
the woman had climed, he heard grass
hopper chirping away so loudly that he
sprang over the gate to catch him--and
there was the baby, fast asleep! Far
more pleased than if he had caught a
hundred grasshoppers, the boy took up
the little fellow aud ran home with his
prize. The kind farmers wife, although
she had many children of her own, at
once determined to keep the little orphan
who had been saved from death by a
grasshopper.
Years passed away, and the baby be-
came strong boy, the boy grew to be a
man; he went to London end became a
merchant. God blessed all he did, and
he rose to be the most noted man in the
city. Queen Elizabeth was then on the
throne, ard often did she send for Sir
Thomas Gresbam-for the little deserted
boy had become knight-to consult him
Oh the great affairs Of state.
About three hundred years ago, Sir
Thomas Gresham founded the Exchange.
The queen came to dine with him and
laid the first stone. And there, upon the
topmost pinnacle, Sir Thomas placed a
grasshopper; and there it is to-day, to tell
the busy, toiling city that Almighty God
can hear the infants cry, and can save a
valuable life by even such little thing
as grasshopper.-N. Y. Observer.

Alexander HamlIton's PRAYER.

Mr. John G. Hamilton, a son of Alexan.
der Hamilton, gives to correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Times this touching
incident of his father: "My fathers resi-
dence was in the country, toward the
north of New York Island. His law of
flee in the city was rather shabby affair.
The day before the duel was sitting in
room, when, at slight noise, turned
around and saw my father in the door
way, standing silently there and looking
at me with most sweet and beautiful
expression of countenance. It was full
of tenderness, and without any of the
business preoccupation lie sometimes had.
John be said, when had discovered
him, won't you come and sleep with me
to-night9' His voice was frank, as if he
had been my brother instead of my ia
ther. That night went to his bed, and
in the morning very early he awakened
me. and taking my hands in his palms,
all four hands extended, he said. and told
me to repeat the Lords Prayer. Seventy

differently cared for, until, he thinks,
about his twelfth year he found himself
employed in store as sweeper and er-
rand boy. Like his sister, he was led to
believe that all of his family were dead.
ae was alone in the world, ne thought,
and he struck out for himself. About
four years ago he secured a situation in
the drug store Of Newbold Brothers,
1890 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
There he made himself useful, and his
employers liked him so well that they
sent him to the Philadelphia College OF
Pharmacy that he might thoroughly
qualify himself for the profession. He IS
to be graduated at the close OF the com
ing term. Last Thursday, July 4th, he
happened to be rummaging among some
secondhand bottles. One OF them
caught his attention. 1t bore the label:
Adds Hays,
Druggist,
Burlington, N. J.
He knows not what mysterious impulse
led him to write to Adds Hays and in
quire whether any of his Bartlett's) name
were living in Burlington, but he did SO
at once, signing himself w. E. Bartlett.
Mr.. Hays received the letter on Friday.
There are many Baltletts in and around
Burlington. Strangely enough Mr.. Hays
at once thought Of Tom Bartlett. That
evening Harry Bartlett dropped in at
Hays drug store. Mr.. Hays told him OF
the letter, and desired him to repeat the
contents to his (Harry's) father. The
next morning the latter came to see Mr..
Hays. He read the letter, and started on
the next train for Philadelphia, taking
the letter with him. One thing puzzled
him. His sons name was Edward, with
no additional front name such as the W.
in the letter indicated. He found the
store of Newbold Bros, and presented
the letter and asked if they knew the
writer. "Why, yes" said Mr.. Newbold,
''that's our Edward.'
Then he called Edward from the labra-
tory. Bartlett, with i'll concealed anx
iety, questioned the young man. The
latter explained how he came to write to
Hays, in the hope that some one of his
fathers name might yet be living IN Bur
lington. AS for his father himself, he
said, he was dead long ago-killed at
Fair Oaks. His grandmother and others
had always told him so. AS to the "W,"
they had tried to call him Walter and
Willie, but he had insisted that Edward
was his right name, and SO he had the
two initials.
Bartlett, with great emotion, told who
he was. The meeting of father and son
was a joyous one. Their resemblance to
each other is striking. Yesterday was
not Edwards Sunday off, but the firm
insisted that it should be made such. and
that he should go to Burlington and
meet, for the first time, the six brothers
and two sisters whom he had never seen
nor heard of, and that other sister whom
he had supposed to be dead.

gazed upon the glorious sky,
And the green mountains round
And thought that when l came to lie
At rest within the ground,
'Iwere pleasant that in howery June,
When brooks send up cheerful tune,
And groves cheerful sound,
The sections hand, my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain turf should break.
A cell within the frozen mould,
coffin borne through sleet,
And icy clods before it rolled,
While fierce the tempests beat
Away!-I will not think of these
Blue be the sky and soft the breeze,
Earth green beneath the feet,
And be the damp mold gently pressed
INFO my narrow place OF rest.
There, through the lone, long summer hours
The golden light should lie,
And the thick young herbs and groups of
flowers
Stand in their beauty by.
The oriole should build and tell
His love-tale close beside my CELL
The idle butterfly
Should rest him there, and there be heard
The housewife bee and hummlng bird
And what if cheerful shouts at noon
Come, from the village sent,
Or song of maid beneath the moon
With fairy laughter blent?
And what if, in the evening light,
Betrothed lovers walk in sight
OF my low monument?
| would the lovely scene around
Might know no sadder sight nor sound.

The seasons glorious show,
Nor would its brightness shine for me,
Nor its wild music flow;
But if, around my place of sleep,
The friends l love should come to weep,
They might not haste to 60
Soft airs, and song, and light and bloom
Should keep them lingering by my tomb.
These to their softened heart should bear
The thought of what has been,
And speak of one who cannot share
The gladness of the scene;
Whose part in all the pomp that fills
The circuit of the summer hills,
Is that his grave is green;
And deeply would their hearts rejoice
To hear again his living voice.
