PROBLEMS OF NATURE.

BEES never store up honey in the light.
The dying breath of flowers is their
sweetest perfume.
THr moth has fur jacket, but the butter
fly has not
LEAVES will attract dew, when wood and
stone will not.
A HORSE gets up on his fore feet, and a
cow on her hind feet.
A SQUIRREL comes down a tree head first
and a cat tail first;
CORN ON the ear is never found with an
uneven number Of rows.
FISH, flies and caterpillars may be frozen
solid and still retain life.
SOME plants stand erect in daytime, but
hang their heads at night.
TIE cinchona tree loses its ''malariar'
properties in a healthy soil.
THE odor of the blossom is more percepti-
BILE in wet than in dry weather
IN the North buds have covering of air
tight scales, but do not have them in the
South.
The dragon fly can devour dozen flies or
spiders, and then its own body, and the
head still live.
THE cow-tree grows on bare rocks, and
without receiving any rain for months viii
yet give sweet and nourtshing milk.
ELEcrRIcITY Is visible only when 1t comes
in the form Of lightning, and that then in
zig-aags, in place Of going straight.
SOME horses are full of life and mettIe,
and want to prance and neigh and snuff the
battle afar of; others seem satisfied TO drag
carts all their lives.
A CHICK or partridge runs around Look
ing for Its meat as soon as 1t has shaken
itself loose from Its living prison, but an
owlet does not for q month or more know
which foot to put out first.
SOME kinds Of files thrust their eggs into
the bodies of oaterpillars, but always in
such parts Of the body that when the larvae
are feeding on the foster parent they shall
not eat into any vital part. What is the ex-
PLANTATION of this marvel? Does the fly
reasoni
ASIIAL natures differ; seine are like an
old Dutch clock, of slow and stately pendu-
lum, others like a little Waterbury watch,
always in a hurry, and SO with plants; some,
like the mushrooms are in haste to vege-
tate; others, like the century plant, may
take many years to attain maturity.

There's q roguish little archer
Who be sets US all alike;
No care he knows II friend or foes
His needless arrows strike.
The proudest he will vanquish,
The sagest he'll deceive;
So, friend, beware and have q care
Lest his tale you believe.
Listen to his story;
Let him tell IL through;
But take II not du SeTieuE
Whatever else you do.
He knows when men are weakesti
He knows when women yield;
His arrows fly ere you and
Suspect he's in the field.
When some fair maid seems fairest
IT'S time TO have a care;
With rogg sh vile and cunning smile
BE sure he's lurking there.
Be sure II is his doings,
Though the eyes be black o. blue;
But take IL not du ssTieU1,
Whatever else you do.
Would you pay this merry youngster
For the many tricks he's played,
Would leave forlorn and laugh 70 scorn
The traps the rogue has laidf
Then follow where he leads you,
But keep a bright lookout
To reap the spoils and skip the tolls;
Take care what you're about.
Listen to his story
As though you thought IL true;
But take IL not an serieur,
Whatever else you do.

MISSIONARY ANDERSON.

The moral OF Miss Mary AndersOn's
break down, according to the New
York Sun, is ''that ceIibacy and the
pursuit of IN arduOus, intellectual,
misunderstanding profession do not
work well together" We suppose
from this that our contemporary Is
inclined to recommend marriage as
a restorative to Miss Anderson.
The Boston Herald assen,s, be-
lieving that marriage, in IA reasonable
degree, might be of advantage in the
case, and no one who knows the puri-
ty of this lady would expect anything
else in the way of marriage from her.
The trouble with many actresses how
ever, is that they overdo this matter of
marriage. 1t is rot uncommon to find
women among them with several nus
bands, all living, and more in prospect.
Whether il is an aid i'll the pursuit OF
all arGuous intellectual, brain-exhaust-
ing profession, is questionable. 1t is
clearly not an aid in reputation in
other respects.

A BOYS COMPOSITION.

IFrom the Preston Times.l
The following Is a sample OF a Fri
day afternoon composition which Adam
Biglier wrote while a boy at school.
We must add that Adam Biglier was
soundly trashed for it:-"A school
ma'am is a verb because she denotes
action when you throw paper wads At
the girls. Switch is a conjunction and
is used to connect the verb shool ms'am
TO the noun boy. This is a compound
sentence of which boy is the subject
and switch the object. First person,
plural number, hellish case. A school
ma'am is different from a boy; u boy
wears pants and IA school ma'am wears
her hair all banged on the forehead.
She puts paint on her face and has
some big fellow come and take her
home. Ma says a school ma'am never
gs.s to be older than eighteen until she
gets married. II lakes two school
ma'ams all day to cook dinner.
