Farewell, parents, lay me gently
In my lone, lone silent grave;

In the arms of Him who gave.
This lovely bud, so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came, to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise could bloom.
But, mother, cease thy weeping,
Thy troubles will be DER,
When you 90 over to meet her,
And dwell on that bright shore.

NEW ENEMIES OF WHEAT,--As though
wheat had not enough enemies to contend
with, the President of the Maryland Acade-
my Of Sciences, at its last meeting, spoke of
the ravages of II new insect, the phlocthrips,
heretofore observed in New York and Long
Island. They have been discovered in great
numbers upon the "oX-eycd" daisy, and it is
believed that the daisy has been the means Of
introducing the phloclhrip into this State
1t is feared this insect may yet do great dam
age. 1t feeds on the stalks of the wheat
while it is soft and tender, withdrawing the
juices of the plant and causing the grain TO
wther. A new species Of "aphis" Tor peach
tree lousc) has also been observed this season.
1t is green in color, short and plump, like
that seen on the rose, and in form and APP
