Too Much for Him.

Too OLD.-Mr. and Mrs. Jones were
starting for church. "Wsit, dear"
said the lady, "I'ye forgotten some
thing won't you be good, now, and
go up stairs and get my goats of the
bureau 2" "Your goats replied
Jones "what new-fangled thing is
that ?" "I'n show you," remarked the
wife, and she sailed up the stairs, and
down again with a pair of kids on her
hands. "There they are" said she
"Why, / call those things kids" said
the surprised husband. "Oh, do your
snapped the wife. swell, so did L
once, but they are SO old now I'm
ashamed to call them anything but
goats" Then they went to church.
The next day Jones' wife had half a
dozen pairs of new gloves in a hand

sign.

A Wasp's Strategy.

Seth Green, the fish. breeder, tells
the following of a wasp's strategy:
He says n morning when he was
watching a spiders nest, a wasp
alighted within AN inch or two of the
nest, on the siIe opposite the opening.
Creeping noiselessly around towards
the entrance of the nest, the wasp
stopped q little short of it, and for a
moment remained perfectly quiet on
her web.
Then reaching out one of his attens
nae, wiggled it before the opening and
withdrew it. This overture had the
desired effect, for the boss Of the nest,
a. large a spider as one ordinarily sees,
came out to see what new victim he
had caught.
No sooner had the spider emerged to
that point at which he was at worst
| disadvantage, than the wasp, with a
quick movement, thrust its sting into
the body Of his foe, killing him easily
and almost instantly.
The experiment wa repeated on the
part of the wasp, and when there was
no response from the inside, he became
satisfied probably, that he held the
fort. AT all events, he proceeded to
enter the nest and slaughter the young
spiders, who were afterwards logged
of one at q time.

MANS MORTALITY.

frhe following poem is justly considered a
poetical gem of the highest order. The origi-
nal was found in the irish Ms. in Trinity
College, Dublin. There is reason to think
that the poem was written by one of those
primitive Christian lards in the reign OF
King Diarmid, about the year 54I, and was
sung and chanted at the last grand assem-
bly, of kings, chieftains and bards, held in the
famous halls OF Tara. The translation Is by
DR.. O'Donovan. A manuscript copy OF the
poem was sent by PROBES sor stewart, of Erin
ity College, to the person who furnished IL for
publication in the Buffalo Commercial AdueT-
ttser.l

Swiss Emigration.

Emigration from Switzerland has
become so great in late years that pre-
dictions are made that unless it ceases
certain districts will lose the greater
part of their inhabitants, if they do
not become literally depopulated. Re-
turns are at hand for Berne which
show that since 1921 the ratio has
steadily increased, and in the past
three years at a greatly accelerated
pace. In 1877 only $50 persons left
the canton in 1873 the number was
ATT; in 1879 it was GAL in 1880 it was
1888; and in 1881, 1881 while for
1882 the number is expected to be
larger still. Nearly all of them sailed
for the United States. Only $50 went
to other countries, and of these $50
went either to South or Central Amer
lea.
