THE RETURN.

All day the land in golden sunlightiay;
All day happy people to and fro
Moved through the quiet summer ways; all day
Wandered with bowed head and footstep
slow,
A stranger in the well-remembered place,
Where Time has left not one familiar face,
KNEW long years ago.
By marsh-l.i DIS golden with bog aspbcdel,
saw the hitul psover wheel and scream;
The soft VIII DIS swayed the foxglove's purple
bell;
The iris trembled by the whispering stream
Gazing on these blue hills which knew not
change,
All the dead years seemed fallen dim and
strange.
Unreal as a dream.
Unchanged as in my dreams lay the fair land
The laughter loving lips, the eager feet,
The hands that struck warm welcome to my
hand,
The hearts that at my coming higher beat,
Have long been cold in death; no glad surprise
wakens for me in any living eyes,
That once made life SO sweet.
Slowly the day drew down the golden west;
The purple shadows heightened on the plain
Yet unresting through world at rest,
Went silent with my memory and my pain;
Then, for little space, across the ears
To me, bowed down with time and worn with
tears,
My friends came back again.
BY many a spot where summer could not last
In other days. for all our joys too long,
They came about me from the shadowy past
AS last 1 saw them, young and gay and
strong;
And She my heart, came fair as in the days
When at her coming all the radiant ways
Thrilled into happy song.
All me! once here, on such summer night,
In silent bliss together, she and |.
Stood watching the pale lingering fringe OF
light
Go slowly creeping round the northern sky
All, love, if all the weary years could give
But one sweet hour of that sweet night to live
With thee-and then to die!
The old sweet fragrance fills the summer air
The same light fingers on the northern sea
Still, as of old, the silent land lies fair
Beneath the silent stars, the melody
OF moving waters still is on the shore,
And am here again-but nevermore
Will she come back to me.

LITTLE GAUZE WINGS.

Flies who does not think Of them as
only tormenting little creatures, always
buzzing about in the most annoying sort
of way, and often tantalizing to the last
degree, for as certainly as one may
brush the insect away, just as surely will
it return to the very same place, with
such persistence that one feels in frantic
despair at ever getting rid OF it. At such
a time one can scarcely give thought
as to whether it has the slightest beauty,
and yet it is a daintily formed little crea-
ture, this common house-hy, with which
every one is familiar. 1t is a wonderful
ly beautiful object to examine through
the microscope; the legs and feet so slight
that it seems as if touch must surely
break such frail things, and still there is
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1886-07-03

wonderful power in these same small
feet, for the fly can as easily walk on the
ceiling over our heads as he can walk on
the table before us, and this power he de-
rives from the suckers with which his
feet are provided, and at the same time
fluid exudes from the suckers, which
causes such great adhesion that even on
the most highly polished surface the fly
can remain in a reversed position for
long time. The hard covering of the
body of an insect consists of three lay ers
and the membrane of the wings is filmy
expansion of the outer one or epidermis.
The ribs or veins OF the wings are tubes
thI ough which air is conveyed. The
wings are thinner in appearance than
gauze and the fine delicate veins or fbres
seem scarcely covered. except when the
light falls upon them and causes them to
flash with brilliant prismatic colora,
green, crimson and purple, till they seem
truly like beautiful gems.
The head of the insect is large and of
the softest jet black, and in the mouth is
a wonderfully constructed little tongue,
somewhat like that of the butterfly.
Flies are very particular about keeping
their coats carefully brushed and their
wings polished till they are of dazzling
brightness, and many time they may
be seen busily and briskIy rubbing with
their feet, as these serve the purpose of
brush, first one and then another part
of their small bodies which they thus put
| in order.
Flies are very fond OF sweets, as every
one knows, and are thereby attracted
from every direction. Quassia is very
fatal to them, and is safer to use for
their destruction than almost anything
| else.
| Flies exist in all parts Of the world
and there are many species, some oil
which serve for medical purposes, such
as cantharides or Spanish fly, and there
are many which are only destructive
and tormenting. Perhaps since we have
stopped for moment to think of the
beauties of these small creatures anG
consider how exquisite and wonderful is
the mechanism Of each minute part which
has been formed by the Creator of the
universe, we shall not look SO slightingly
upon these tiny insects, and it may helI
us to feel less impatient with their teas

Miss Hfiie Eilsler aud her very excel.
lent company 1ppsAred at the Academy
of Music last evening In her new play
entitled Woman Against Woman %
before o faif-sized audience. The story
of the play is simple, and such ~ fre-
quently ocours In real life, but its great
beauty consists in the admirable ming
ling OF comedy with pathos, and the
portrayal of scenes, some OF which
touch the heaEt, while Others excite the
risibilities. The greatest interest in
the play commences in the second act,
where the first shadows fall on the
happy home.
The fourth acc IL one of the strongest
stage pictures that can be presented,
and gives opportunity for some fine
acGing, which 10 taken advantage of by
Miss Ellslsr, and VIXEN she throws her
enemy to the floor, she seems very
giant in her almost superhuman power.
That this piece of acting was appreciated
was shown by the audienes calling the
charming little actress before the cur
tain at the close Of the act.
Mas Ellsler as Bessie Barton, the
young heroine, presents on excellent
picture of loving and wrouged wife,
and her rendition of the character was
20 realistic that IL frequently drew tears
from the eyes ofs1sr auditors. She was
ably supported by Mr.. Frank Wes.ontas
the husband, Mr.. Charles Foster as the
dlssipated old father, Miss Matte
Earle an Rachel Westwood, "a bad 'un, /"
Miss Marjorie Bonner as Miriam,
Bessie's sister, Mrs Il. L. Davenport al
the mother and the other members OF
the company.
The play will be repeated this even
ing, when all who desire to witness
scenes from real life presented in an
realistic manner, should be sure to at.
tend. There is not the slightest doubl
that If the beauties of this very excel
lent play were fully known, with the
merits Of the company that present it
the size of the audience would only b,
limited by the. .capac ity of the house.

The Car.driyers Vlctorlous.

The general strike of all the streat car
employees in New York in behalf of
their brethren OF the Dry Dock, East
Broad way and Battery Railroad, went
into effect Friday morning, and the
consequence was total suspension of
travel on all the surface roads for more
than half the day. The result OF the
general "tie up was victory for the
strikers, whose terms were granted on
the New York and Brooklyn lines con-
trolled by Mr.. Richardson. AS soon
as the railway officials yielded, the
men promptly resumed their places.
and the cars were again started
throughout the city. The men are to
receive 81 a day for twelve hours
work, including at least half an hour
for dinner, and the other questions ex-
listing or which may arise are to be
submitted to arbitration.

cellent company. the leading charac-
,ers will be sustained by Miss Baker
