know of dainty blue sky,
And it is the baby's blue eye;
And we watch it TO see
What the weather will be;
But we never can tell IL we try.
We catch a wee glimpse of the sun,
And think such fine day is begun;
And everything neat
And happy and sweet,
All ready for frOlic and fun.
The rainbows are here without doubt;
And the robins and roses come out;
And gay boboinks
And peoples and pinks.
And butterflies Swimming about.
The blue-bells are ringing a chime.
And the fairies come marching in time,
Mother Goose and the rest,
In their fine sunday best,
And dance in roilicking rhyme.
But 10, there's a storm in the skyl
Then how the wee fairy folks hy!
And Mother Goose rings
For umbrellas and things,
And tries hard to keep herself dry.
The birds and the blossoms look sad:
For they wore the best coats that they had;
To think such Il shower
Should come up in an hour!
Ills really, yes really too bad!
But look while they worry and fret
The clouds are all gone and the wet;
And the sky is as blue
And as innocent, too,
AS Ii it had never ralned yet.
So we can not tell if we try
The signs OF this dainty blue sky;
But its smile or its frown
Turns the house upside down
Forit is the baby blue eye.

The Jumbo Of Crickets.

Throughout the whole of Utah the
cricket is one of the common objects Of
the country, but there are crickets, and
crickets, and it is just as well when in
search of the best article to s'see that
you get it. J" For consideration, there
fore, well put the speculator on the
track Of some of the grossest locusts that
ever devoured greenstuff -1ocusts, more
over, that squeak when pursued. Poets
american poets esecially) are very
partial to what they are pleased to call
the cricket's merry chirp. But the
poets cricket is the insect of the
domestic hearth, a pale-colored ghost of
a thing, allvoice. and with an irregular
midnight appetite for the kitchen cloths
that are hung out to dry before the
stove. The Piutes' cricket is very much
otherwise. 1t is the Jumbo of crickets,
and just as black. It lives on the slopes
Of the Utah hills, among the sage brush,
and when alarmed tries invariably to
jump doWn-hill. But being all stomach,
and therefore top-heayy, SO speak, the
Unbalanced insect invariably rolls head
over heels, and every time it turns a
somersault it squeaks dismally. To
walk down the hillside, driving a
whole herd Of these corpulent crickets
! before me, used to amuse me immod-
erately, for the spectacle Of so many
fat things simultaneously trying to
jump doWn-hill, simultaneously rolling
head over heels, and simultaneously
squeaking, was mirthful enough to
drive the dullest care away.-Pail

No IDEA OF LIBERTY. A group of young persons of both sexes and Of more than average intelligence, on the bridge at night were recently endeavoring toesaeeate the site of the statue of s'Liberty EnGghten- ing the World" Not single one of the half dozen gave correct or approximate ly correct guess, though it was apparent that all knew most of the various points of interest visible from the bridge. They BTen knew the name of the little island on which the statue is to stand, but could not tell it's relative position to Goyernor,s Is land or the Battery. It would seem from this incident and others, including the smallness of, the subscriptions to the con- struction' of the pedestal on which it is to rest, that Americans do not generally con- prehend the magnitude and magnifcence of this great gift of France to, America, or the grandeur of the ornament to New York harbor which is to be erected. Some idea can be given by, 8 comparison with surrounding objects. Looking southward from the center of the big bridge Bedloe's Island, on which the statue is to rest, hes in full view between Governors Island and the Battery, but beyond both. The top of the pedestal will be on level with the center of the bridge the head of the statue will be twice as high. The light, which is to be held above the head, will be much higher than any other object in the city within the range of vision from the bridge. It will be visible, across inter vening Bay Ridge and Coney Island, for twenty miles to seaward, or about the same distance at which the twin lights at the Highlands become visible to mariners. From the bridge one will have to look up at it as to another moon.-N r. Tribune.
