Only a. Insect.

On the crimson cloth Of my study desk
A lustrous moth poised stAtuesQue;
OF wAxen mould were Its light limbs ehdpeo,
And In scales Of gold its body was draped;
While Its luminous W ings were netted aud velned
With silvery strinRs or golden grained,
Through whose nlmy maze, in trent ulous night
Danced Quivering rays OF the Rladsone nGnt
On the ds.k bard by a taper burned.
Toward which the eye OF the insect turned.
In its dim little mind a fain. desire
Rose ndenned for the beautiful rre
Lightly IL spread each silken van,
Then away IL sped for q moments span,
And vague delight Iured on Its course
With resistless gilt tow ard the central source;
And II followed the spell through an eddyinR maze,
TIL II staggered and fell in the scorching blaze
Dazzled and stunned by the binding pain,
One moment II swooned, then again;
And again the flre drew II with Its charms
To living pyre IN lis ful arms.
And now II lies on the table here,
Before my eyes, shriveled and ssrs.
A. cit and muse on its flery fate,
what themes aDstruse might meditatsi
For II only In my simple song

OF sAintliest lore or OF wisest sage.
And the pangs hat thrilled It's tiny frame
As its senses were filled with the deadly flame

All, yes. but why should II suffer at all
Why should q sob for the vAgusst smart
One moment throb through the tiniest hearth
Why In the whole wide universe
Should . single soul feel that primal curse I
Not all the throes of mlghtiest mind,
Or the heaviest woes of human Kind
Are OF deeper weight in the riddle OF things
Than that insects fate with the mAngled wings.

No ono will undervalue the work done BY the
revisers. considered ne an attempt to reinter-
pret the Masoretc Hebrew text OF the Old Tes-
lament which, as 1t has been assumed on vory
imperfect evidence, was also the basls OF the
authorized version. As q matter Of fact the
former English transiators prove upon atten-
tive scrutiny to have followed pretty closely
tho Latin OF the Vulgate and the Greek OF
tho Seventy. but tho enlarged acauaint-
anee evinced by the revisers with the
topography. ethnoogy and comparative
mythology Of Eastern nations. to say moth
ing OF the vastly improved appliances for
the constituting Of Hebrew words has unaues-
tionably brought illumination to multitude OF
passages which before were dark or mislead-
Ing. But surely It cannot DO claimed for them
as it could be claimed for tho revisers OF the
New Testament that they have prefaced the
secondary function OF translation by prelim-
mary readjustment Of tho text to be translated
which would be generally accepted by scholars
as radical and final. and would thus relieve
Christian readers from the apprehension Of
seeing documents OF paramount importance
and Incompatible sanctity subjected to multi
pliod revislons. NJ. W. II.

tuinlv it costs less, to use the poison IN
water, while it is Just as cltectual. But
the poison does not dissolve, SO that, in
spite of constant stirring. the water OF
The bottom of the vessel from which it
is sprinkied upon the vines, contains
enough poison to harm the leaves, and
it is for this reason We give preference
to is division with plaster, which may
be evenly distributed over every part of
the plant. Sirters and bellows are now
sold in most country stores, or the for
mer may be constructed at home at a
trlning cost. We have used Paris green
in water and plaster through several
seasons, and carefully noted the result
uron the foliage. While that upon
which the poisoned plaster was applied
remained green and luxurious, the mid
dies (midveins) CT the leaves receiving
the poisoned water would often turn
gray and finally wither. Let us then
bear in mind that our object is to pre-
serve our potato vinces us much from
the iniuv of Paris green as from being
devoured by the potato beetle. The
one is just as important as the other,
and both may be accomplished if we
would use, instead Of poisoned water,
one part Of pure Paris green to 100 parts
of plaster, and thoroughly mix them
together, SO that the plaster will be
evenly, though very slightly, tinted
throughout with the poison, 1t is best
to purchase the plaster and green now,
and to mix it as above suggested and
store it in barrels in a perfectly dry
place. Thus mixed, there is little, if
any, chance of its poisoning animals,
since they would have to eat consid
cradle quantity to do them harm, while
pure Paris green is a most dangerous
