Tn, Oolryo,

In the forests of the Islands constitut-
ing the Indian Archipelago is found n
curious flying animal That forms the
connecting link between the lemur and
the bat The natives call it the colugo,
and also the ''flying-fox," but it is more
like flying monkey, rs the lemurs are
cousins of the monkeys. Like the bats,
these animals sleep in the daytime,
hanging from the limbs and branches
of trees, head downward; but as even
ing comes on, they sally forth. often do
ing great harm to the fruit on the
neighbosing plantations. In some parts
Of Java they are so numerous that it is
found necessary to protccc the fruit-troeS
with huge nets. The extent of their
flights through the air Is something us
tonishing. They some; ines drop to the
ground and hop along with II snutii.ng
kind Of leap, but II they are alarmed,
they spring to the nearest tree and in n
moment reach its top by y series OF
hounds. Out upon the branches they
dart, and with rush are off into space.
Sailing through the air like some great
bird, down they go obliquely, swift rs
an arrow, a hundred and fifty feet or
more, rising again in q graceful curve
and alighting safely on distant tree.
In these great leaps they carry their
young. which cling to them, or some
times follow them in their headlong
flight, uttering hoarse and piercing
cries. The colueos live almost exclus-
lively on fruit, prrfarring plantains and
the young and tender leaves of the CO.
coa-palm, though some writers aver
that they have seen them dart into the
air and actually catch birds. The flying
lemurs are perfectly harmless. and so
gentle as to be easily tanned. They
have lovely dark eyes and very intelli-
gent and knowing faces. &C. +. Holder,
in So. Nicholas.

WHITTIER, midst frliing dew.
While glow the heavens with the last steps o,
day,
Far, through their rosy depths dost thou pur
Thy solitary way?
vain.y the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant Zig 70 do wrong,
As, darkly painted on the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Scekst thou the plashy brink
or weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and sink
On the chafed ocean side?
There Is n Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless coast
The desert and illimitublc air
Lone wandering but not lost.
All day the wings have famed
At that fnr height, the cold. thin atmosphere,
Yet stoop not, weary, TO the welcome land,
Though the dark night Is near.
And soon that foil shall end
soon shalt thou ind summer home, and rest
And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall
bend
Soon. DER thy sheltered nest.
Thou'st gone, tho abyss OF Heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on my
heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall! not soon depart
He who, from Zone to zone,
Guides through the bound.ess sky TRY certain
light,
In the long way that must tread alone
