Butterfly Nurses

Ants and butterflies are not ordinarily
on the most friendly terms, for arts
have n ruthless custom of seiZing and
devouring their winged acquaintance
There Is, however, one species of but
tertiy. described In scientific journal
of Bombay, the Larvae of which are pro-
tected by the large black ants found in
Indian gardens and houses
The secret of this care lies in the fact
that the Larvae eNude a sweet liquid, of
which the ants are very fond, and which
they obtain by gently stroking the lit
tie creatures with their antenne. At
the foot of bush on which the larvae
feed, the ants construct a temporary
nest, and are then ready to act as atten-
tive nurses
About the middle of June the ants
are busy running about on this bush,
insearch of the larve, and driving them
down toward their own nest. When
the prisoners reach their places, they
at once fall into doZe, and undergo
transformation into pupe- During this
period, if the loose earth at the foot OF
the bush be scraped away, hundreds OF
Larvae and pupse NAV be seen. arranged
in broad, even band about its trunk.
In about a week the butterfly is ready
to come forth, and is tcnderly assisted
to leave its shell. If it is strong and
healthy, it is allowed to spread its wing,
and fly away, but should 1t prove delicate
the ants exercise the tmost care IN as
sisting it to the tree, and holding i
there in safety.
| 1t is said to be curious sight Il
watch these fragile creatures goins
about in perfect confidence among tn,
strong. fierce ants, which have, how
ever, by no means adopted the profes
ion of nursing for the love of 1t; 70
when the larvae of another species ar,
thrown among them, they immediatel,
set upon them and tear them in pieces

Some little spot of happy ground
Where village pleasure might 60 round
Without the village tattling.
How doubly blest that spot would be.
Where all might dwell in liberty.
Free from The bitter misery

If such a spot were really known,
Fair Peace might claim it as her own
And in it see might hx her throne
Forever and forever;
There like a queen TO reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.

Or fall into an angry pet
With things so much below them.
For it's a sad, degrading part,

tie down AMI have a winsome wife and
a modest home. He seemed TO be quite
contented to rest then with the name
and fame that had already come TO him..
Time ran on, and New York did not
possess two happier souls than Henry
NJ. Stanley and his prospective bride.
But with Livingstone dead there
were constant and urgent demands
upon him to resume the exploration of
Africa. AT last he consented to make
another journey. 1t was to be q short
one. he tod his sweetheart, and with IT,
would end his career as an African eX-
plorer.
Anybody can imagine the loving
tenderness with which Henry N. STAN
ley and the girl he loved parted, - con-
tinued the club man. There We're
tears on her part and tender. comfort
ing words for his share of that trying
experience. They were TO write by
every steamer, and for two years the
happiest and tenderest correspondence
passed between the young lovers -
Late III November, 1874, Stanley ar
rived at Zanzibar and began the ar
rangementS for his trip inland. The
little lady in the Fifth avenue mansion
auXiously read the dispatches about
her lover, and was cheered by some of
the heaviest letters which ever came
through the New York Post Office.
She was delighted beyond expression
when the cable announced that Stanley
had launched the little boat i'll which
he circumnavIgated NyanZa Lake, and
had nam4d it the Lady Alice. That
was her Christian name.
With lovers eagerneSS he wrote to
the fair one what he had done, and his
last letter before he lett civilization
told her to be of good cheer. He said
that he didn't expect that his task
would be difficult, and he spoke of the
time when his journey would be ended
and lie would return 10 her rich and
with his days as a explorer ended for
ever.
He was on the Congo River for nine
months, and reached the Atlantic coast
! in 1877. He arrived in London early
| in 1873 and eagerly glanced over the
! pile of letters awaiting him. There
were a dozen or more in the handwrit-
| ing of his betrothed running up TO
| November, 1876. At that time he
reached Nyongwa, the furthest north
ern point attained by Livingstone or
| Cameron. The letters ceased in that
month. Down d eper in the pile WAS u
| letter from a New York club man
which told Stanley that his betrOthed
had been married early in 1877 to i
gentleman from Michigan.
The highest hOnOrs were showered
upon Stanley, but he grew listless, and
apparently without ambition. Hi,
friends say lie was stunned at the
| shock lie had received. lie roamed
about Lon .on, and his hair daily grew
| whittier and winter and his face more
pallid. lie went back TO Africa ant
spent five years there, and first ap
peared in New York again i'll 1856
He only remained her few weeks, ant
then started on his present journey
