Welcome Spring.
ORIGINAL.

ORIG NAL.
Long looked for gentle Spring,
Thou hast come at last,
TO chase away the winteIy gloom
OF the cold and stormy blast;
Thy balmy breath and pleasant smile
win all our sadened hours beguile.
Welcome with thy gentle breeze;
Forest flowers tint the grove,
And dress the landscape far and near,
with thy rich, but simple robe;
The gmgling streams while sporting by,
Inhales sweet incense from each sigh.
Welcome for the many charms,
Thy sweet return doth bring,
To deck the forest by thy touch,
Where warbllng birds may sing;
In sweet delight and mirthful glee,
VIII sport In widest ecstacy
From tree to tree will echo soundi
From every leafy branch,
And hill and dell, and murmurlng brook
Send forth their joyful chants.
Let all the earth rejoice to see,
The acknowledged work of tho Deity.

The Arbutus.

II. H., In the May Atlantic.
Looks SO shy and innocent,
Bushes like a startled thing;
Who would think 1t knew the whole
Of'the secrets of the spring?
Keeps its rosy ear laid low,
Harking, barking at the ground,
Never missed q syllable
OF the slightest stir or sound,
Chuckled often in its leaves,
Thinking how the world would wait;
Searching vainly for a flower,
Wondering why the spring was late
Other secrets, too, 1t knows
Secrets whispered DER its head;
Underneath Its snowy veil
Oft these secrets turn 1t red.
Whisper on, glad girls and boys
Sealed the fragrant rosy wells;
You and spring are safe alike
Never the arbutus tolls

Sporting Notes.

The Wilmington club is doing some
excellent work at the bat. On Saturday
last they administered a crushing defeat
to the Philadelphia Reds, the reserve
team of the League, by score of 81 to
1. On Monday they went to Washing
ton, and easily captured game from the
National of that city, by score OF 10 /.
Tuesday they met the Athletic team on
their own grounds Wilmington and suf-
fered defeat. The game throughout was
devoid of any especial interest. The
umpire, Cornell, of Philadelphia, render
cd several decisions directly against the
Wilmingtons, which seemed to lose for
them all interest in the contest Nolan
was batted freely, and Hilsey of the
Athletic was struck hard at times.
The Philadelphia League team is show
ing up in better form than last season,
and there is high hopes that the League
Championship pennant may wave over
the City of Brotherly Love at,the close of
the season.
The Wilmington club defeated the
Chester club on Thursday, on the form
er's grounds, by score of II to 3. The

The Use Of the Color.Sense by Insects

What proofs can be shown that the
colors of insects are thus due to sexual
selection2 In. the first place, we have
the certain fact that bees at least. and
probably other insects, do distinguish
ana remember colors. Not only so, but
their tendency to follow color has been
strong enough to produce all the beauti-
full blossoms of our fields and gardens.
Moreover, we have seen that while bees.
which are flower haunters, are guided
greatly by color, wasps, which are ON
nivorous, are guided to less extent, and
ants, which are very miscellaneous feed
ers, not at all. 1t may be objected that
insects do not care for the color apart
from the amount of honey; bat Mr. An
derson noticed that, when the corollas
of certain flowers had been cut away,
the insects never discovered or visited
the flowers; and Mr.. Darwin Topped off
the big lower petals of several lobeiia
blossoms, and found that the bees never
noticed Them though they constantly
visited the neighboring flowers On the
other hand, many bright colored bells
have no honey, but merely make great
show for nothing, and so deceive insects
LuiO paying tllcll IL Gull OH tnS dSiuSlNc
expectation that they will be asked to stay
to dinner. Some very unpr ncipled flow
ers, like the huge Sumatran raffiesia, thus
take in the carrion-fies, by resembling in
smell and appearance piece Of dccaying
meat. Moreover, certain in ects show q
preference for certain special flowers over
others. One may watch for hours the
visits paid by bee or butterfly to
several dozens of one flower, say purple
lamium, in succession. passing by UNI
noticed the white or yellow blossoms
which intervene between them Fritz
Muller mentions an interesting case of
a lantana, which is yellow on the first
day, orange on the second, and purple
on the third. This plant, 1" he says,
A." is visited by various butterflies. As far
as | have seen, the purple blossoms are
never touched. Some species inserted
their probosces both into yellow and
into orange flowers; others as far as
have observed, exclusively into the yell
low flowers of the first day. Mr. T. d.
Lilly, an American naturalist, observed
that the colored petunias and morning
glories in his garden were torn to pieces
by bees and butterflies in getting at the
honey, while, the white pale ones were
never visited. These are only few
sample cases out of hundreds, in which
various observers have noted the prefer
ence shown by insects for blossoms of
special color. - Popular Science Monthly.
