THE GOLD BEETLE.
Don't Let tho Summer Pass BY Without
Making His Acquaintance.

There is the little gold beetle, for in.
stance CaSSida aurichalce0. Where
can he be matched in the world for the
pure luster of FURNISHED gold? He is
the brightest gem of concentrated me-
tallic glitter that the whole beetle king
dom can show; and yet who ever sees
him, even though in one short walk in
the country lane he may have passed
perhaps ten thousand of them-a gold
mine in truth?
In July the Cassida will be with us.
But where shall we look for him?
Wherever the pink-blossomed bind
weed blooms he also is sure to be found.
This vine often clothes the stone walls
for several yards beneath its arrow
shaped leaves. These leaves are gener-
ally more or less perforated with small
holes; and If we quickly turn them one
by one, or, STOPPING, look beneath them,
we may surprise the tiny creature feed
ing, and appearing like q drop of
molten gold, clinging like dew to the
leaf. But you must be quick If you
would capture him, for he is off in
spangled streak of glitter. Nor is
this golden sheen all the resource
of the little insect; for in the space
of few seconds, as you hold him in
your hand, he has become milky, iri-
descent opal, and now mother-of-pearl,
and finally crawls before you in coat
of dull orange. A few of the beetles
kept in box and supplied with leaves,
changing from gilt to mother-of-pearl,
Or dull coral, as the within suits
them, are an interesting study. Beneath
the bind weed leaves one may also find
numbers of small black larvae with a
singular black lattice held suspended
fiat over their barbs upon their forked
tails. These are the inconspicuous and
uncouth grubs from which our golden
beetles have sprung, and little search
among the leaves will also disclose the
tiny chrysalis suspended by its tail.
Don't let the summer pass without
making the acquaintance of the CASH
da. After the 1st of July he may be
found until late autumn. You must sec
him at home you would see him at all
for the dead insect loses all this won
drous lustre.-William Hamilton Glib
son, in Harpers Young People.

She came here liom tna West
And yet she had, be 1t corh. sd
A Boston air around her;
A figure slight q forehead high,
An earnest look, clear gray eye;
And so for her came to sigh,
And wise and charming found her.
But as to press my suit came
Full oft she smothered oil my flamo
BY asking curious questions;
The wrongs OF woman, the state and land,
What social changes IbseR planned
She'd ask mo to discuss offhand
And give her my suggestions.
Did agree with Henry GeorgeH
Would selfish capital disgorge
The share that toll demandedf
How could the INDECENT be fedY
Should criminals be allowed to wedf
Did tariffs raise the price of breadf
She begged me to be candid.
And when the race at last had gained
The highest point to be attained
BY growth or revolution,
What would tho last great victory be,
The final goal that men should sect
What did Utopia mean for me;
The end Of evolutionf
And as heard grew more moro dazed
Until at last my courage raised
To utter desperation;
utopia means for me-" said
"The social contract when we wed.
Well form trust" She shook her head
Call It cooperation.
