IN THE RAIN.
by MrNSAc. SMITH.

Fall swiftly, rain, down on the sullen earth;
Hove this darkness, and it brings me cheer,
For mind me, ah mind me,
OF a rainy day last year.
Last year, l know not, may be longer still,
/ often think the months are each year,
But i know that day was rainy,
And il brought me charm and cheer.
All the town was dull and gray and gloomy,
All me, thought l. how dreary is the street
Love came walking through the rainfall;
Strange that Love and l should meet!
All the rafn-drops sparkled into Jewels,
Love smiled sunshine on the weary way,
SO my heart is always happy,
Always OF a rainy day.

A Most Enterprising Butterfly.

A most remarkable instance of the ex-
tension of the geographical distribution of
a species is found by Mr.. III. Walker, of
the British navy, in the beautiful butter
fly Anosia p~lexippue, L., or Danais archip-
pus, E. Starting from its original home
on the American continent, where it is
common from the Hudson's bay territory
to the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, this
butterfly has been spreading, under our
observation, into very remote regions.
Crossing 1850 miles of ocean to the Sand
witch islands, it rapidly and steadily con
tinued it's course over the whole breadth
of the Pacific and far into the Malay arch
ipelago. Southwark and westward in has
appeared in New Zealand and Australia.
Eastward it has reached the West Indies.
the Azores, and within the last ten years
has even made it's advent in the British
isles.-Arkansaw Traveller.
