The Flight of Insects.

Some insects use all four wings in
flight such. for example. as the dragon
flies, bees. wasp and May-flics. Some.
like the beetles locusts, and the Hem
iptera, or half-winged insects. only use
the hind pair of wings for fight, the
first pair being greatly thickened. and
forming covers called "elytra," be-
meath which the fying-winss can be
sheltered when not in use. In many
insects. such as the common blue-bottle
fly and the gnat tribe. one pair Of wings
appears to have vanished altogether
but in reality they are only undevel-
oped. and still exist in a rudimentary
form. In the case Of the blue-bottle
they form the '.alule," or xinglets.
while in the case Of the gnat they are
shriveled up into pair OF little slender
spikes. the tips Of which are knobbed.
These rudimentary wings are called
'.halteres, or balancers; and, small as
they are. and insignificant rs they APP
pear to be. they exercise so great an in
fuence on the flight that. ii one OF
them be cut off, the insect seem, unable
to guide its course. The halteres are
very conspicuous in any of the Insects
which are familiar to US under the title
of .'daddy-long-legs," and their s:ruc-
ture can easily be made out with an or
binary pocket-lens Christian Union.

MORE as a Garniture.

Orange-co,ored moire is used By
fashionable dress-makers both here
and abroad as a garniture for pale
cream-white wool gowns. vailings, India
cashmeres, etc. A number recently
noted were finished with delicate or
ange-colored Empire sashes OF China
silk, very soft and flexible in quality
and exceedingly wide. These were
wound round the waist, and knOtted at
the left side with falling ends. When
the waist is long and slender, this is a
pretty and becoming fashion. In
adopting either orange-colorcd or pale
green garnitures. the desire to multiply
them must be guarded agains.. A
dainty suggestion Of color is sufficient
for effect; more than this tends to
fashiness and vulgarity. We have seen
both fair and dark women look very
charming in white or cream. relieved
with orange or green; slight variations
OF shade making all the mighty difer-
ence between the stylish and the BIZ
zarre, tho becoming and the unbecom-
ing.-N. Y. Post.

''The Rebs are comm over in boats"
some one cried, and the alarm spread
throughout the army. The excellent gener-
alship of the Commander alone saved the
Union forces from utter rout
Companies could not be got together, and
rcgimentai organizations could not be fully
maintained. Stragglers were scattered
everywhere, some searching for dead or
wounded friends. others on plumber bent,
and not more than one-half of them re-
manned at their post, or heard an order
given by the officers.
Luke. with about fifteen of his company,
started down the hill. Already the head of
the column was well under way. He dis
covered that he was not even with his own
regiment
Firing could now be heard below the bill
First few dozen shots, then volley after
volley, while the roar of artillery shook the
earth. The soldiers became veterans once
more.
Luke found himself in field of corn. He
had thrown away his sword and picked up
a musket, which he deemed a more available
weapon. He became separated from his
men, remaining in the rear as one OF the
guards to cover the retreat while the army
was embarking. Most of the soldiers We're
already on board.
Luke was hurrying through the corn
when he discovered Confederate kneelIng
behind corn-hill, aiming his rifle at

horseman whose form could be dimly out
lined in the futtering blades and waving
tassels.
He recognized the horseman as General
Grant, and fully realizing his chiefs danger,
Captain Mason levcled his gun to shoot the
rebel. But at this moment sharp report,
a few PAGES on his right, a puff of
smoke, and the Confederate plunged for
ward upon his face in the DIRT. Luke
turned to see who had fired the shot and
discovered the negro Blackhawk stealing
away but a few PAGES in advance of the
General, whose life he had saved.
Luke and Blackhawk reached the steamer
just as it was swinging off, leaving General
Grant on shore. Luke told the captain, who
ordered the boat back The General alight-
ed from his horse amid storm of balls, and
the horse, taking in the situation, put his
hind feet under his body, slid down the
bank and trotted aboard, and the General
followed, the stage-plsuk was drawn in
and the boat cast off.

Ny mind to-day leaps thirty years
ahead. and l see a merchant prince of
New York. One stroke Of his pen brings
a ship cut of Canton. Another stroke Of
his pen brings a ship into Madras. He is
mighty in all the money markets of the
world. Who is he: He sits to-day beside
you in the tabernacle. My mind leaps
thirty years forward from this time and
find myself in a relief association. A
great multitude of Christian women have
met together for q generous purpose.
There is one woman in that crowd who
seems to have the confidence of all the
others, and they all look up to her for her
counsel and for her prayers. Who is she!
To-day you will find her in the Sabbath
school, while the teacher tells her of that
Christ who clothed the naked and fed the
hungry and healed the sick. Ny mind
leaps forward thirty years from now
and l find myself in an African
Jungle; and there is q missionary
of the cross addressing the natives,
and their dusky countenances are irradi-
ated with the glad tidings of great joy
and salvation. Who is he? Did you not
hear his voice to-day in the first song Of
the service! Ny mind leaps forward
thirty years from now and l find myself
looking through the wickets of a prison.
l see face SCARED with every crime. His
chin on his open palm, his elbow on his
knee-a picture of despair. As open the
wicket he starts and hear his chain
clank. The Jail keeper tells me that he
has been in there now three times; first
for theft, then for arson. now for murder.
He steps upon the trap door, the rope is
fastened to his neck, the plank falls. his
body swings into the air, his soul swings
of into eternity. Who is he. and where

tremble with each successive shot. Great
solid balls and shells of iron went screech-
ing through the air, now darkened with
smoke.
For an hour the boats were enveloped in q
dark vapor from which the sullen flashes of
fire and death issued. While the gun-boats
were making such sad havoc among The
land batteries and dismounting gun after
gun, the feet was getting considerably
pounded by the rebel guns.
The leading boat was within two hundred
yards of the river, and the roar of cannon
Incessant. At such close quarters the exc
cution must be terrible, and Luke saw one
boat after another dropping down the river
visibly disabled. The whole feet soon fol-
lowed, and the engagement for the day was
over.
The wild cheer from the rebel works gave
evidence that they supposed they had gained
a victory.
Captain Mason was still watching the dis
abled boats when the Adjutant came gal
Looping by and told him to form his men.
"Fall in" cried Captain Mason.
"Oh, thunder! more mud tramping,''
growled Corporal Max.
The regiment was soon in line, and head
ed by the congratulated Colonel, who
went on foot leading his horse, they moved
of to the right until they came to McCler-
nand's division, which they had been or
dered to support.
Two or three regiments joined the divis-
ion, and all prepared to pass the night mis-
erably enough.
The sun went down on the night of the
18th of February, 1862, leaving the army
confronting Fort Donelson in any thing but
comfortable condition The weather had
turned intensely cold; the men were with
out tents and could not keep fires.
An occasional firing had been kept up all
along the line Of works, and Berges' sharp
shooters had during the day kept a line of
batteries silent.
The ground froze hard that night, and
the soldiers, without fire or blankets, suf-
fered severely. Not being able to lie upon the
ground, most preferred standing or stamp
ing or dancing to keep their feet from freez-
ing.
"Can't you sleep, corporalr" asked Cap
tain Mason, who, with his overcoat buttonec
up to his chin, still shivered.
''Sleepl no." growled Max, his teeth chat
