Tin Cans.

An analysis of the tin, obtained from old
cans, was recently made that is of interest to
dealers in canned goods. There are parties
in this city who purchase at 81 per wagon
load all the old tin cans they can get. After
being soaked in water in order to remove the
labels, they are placed in reverbatory fur
mace and exposed to a low temperature, yet
sufficient to remove the tin and solder from
the cans. The iron plates are then rolled
fiat and sold TO umbrella and trunk manufac-
turers. One weeks smelling amounted to
81 tons. An analysis made from this failed
to show even trace of lead. This certainly
is conclusive evidence that, so far us that
metal is concerned, consumers of canned
goods have no cause to fear the formation of
any salts of lead in food preserved in tim

THE LITTLE OLD WOMAN.
BALLAD OF NEWPORT.

A BALI AID OF NEWPORT.
There's little old woman lives over the way
In a gambrel-roofed cottage Imprinted and gray,
And where the brown grapevine is climbing
across,
The shingles are covered with patches of moss.
BY the wood fire-side, in the winter she sits
In list bottom rocker, and sings as she knits,
In a quaverng voice with tremulous Groom,
And the click of her needle keeps time to the
tune.
Her Bible she reads, slowly turning the leaves,
And she Rarners bright grain from its beautiful
Sheaves;
And the tears dim her eyes as she lifts them on
high
In search of her treasures laid up in the sky
In her best Sunday gown, whether ailing or well,
She trots to her meeting at the sound of the bell,
And she sits in her pew like wren on perch,
This little gray dame in Puritan church.
Our very old people remember, they think,
When her hair was as glossy and black as a mink,
And her cheeks red as roses, her teeth white as
pearls,
And this little old woman the fairest of girls.
She had dear lover alaok and day!
A sailor who sailed from the beautiful bay;
And the summers may blush and the winters may
But their sun never shines on his homecoming
sail.
At little round table from over the sea-
She sits at the sunset and pours out her tea,
And the delicate cup and the saucer are white
AS floating pond lily, Just kissed by the light.
And ship under sail. with its flag at the mast,
All laden with memories brought from the past,
Ia painted upon them as life-like and fair
AS the mirage that floats in the orient air.
His ship that he sailed in, his sweetheart to we'd
By others forgotten-the sunset grows red
But the little old woman just murmurs q prayer,
And smiles as she knows that her lover is there.
But day will soon come when the lilac's per-
fume
Through the half-opeLed window will float
through the room,
And the house will be quiet and she be at rest,
With single white rose on her motionless breast.
And the angels will come with their glitterng
While the parson he prays and the choir it sings,
And bear 10 the home that is fairer than day
The little old woman from over the way.

yet was rendered quite unable to escape.
This singular instinct is like others which
are yet more fully developed among in
sects-a class of animals the instincts of
which are so numerous, wonderful, and
notorious that it mill be, probably, enough
to refer to one or two examples. The ie-
male carpenter bee. in order to protect her
eggs, excavates, in some piece of wood, a
series of chambers, in special order with a
view to a peculiar mode of exit for her
young; but the young mother can have no
conscious knowledge of the series of ac-
tons subsequently to ensue. The female
of the wasp, sphe1, affords another we'll
known, but very remarkle, example of a
complex instinct closely related to that al
ready mentioned in the case of the polecat
The female wasp has to provide fresh, liv-
ing animal food for her progeny, which.
when it quits its egg. quits it in the form
of an almost helpless grub. utterly
unable to catch, retain, or kill an active,
struggling prey. Accordingly the mother
insect has not only to provide and place
beside her eggs suitable living prey, but
SO to treat it that it may be a helpless. un-
resisting victim. That victim may be a
mere caterpillar, or it may be great,
powerful grasshoper, or even that most
fierce. active, and rapacious of insec,
tyrants, fell and venomous spider
Whichever it may be, the wasp adroitly
stings it at the spot which induces. or in
the several spots which induce, complete
paralysis as to motion. let us hope as tc
sensation also. This done, the wasp en-
tombs the helpless being with its own egg
and leaves it for the support OF the future
grub.-Fortnightly Reriew.
