PLENTY OF TIME.


Plenty of time plenty of timel
Oh, what a foolish and treacherous chime!
With so much to see, and so much to be taught,
And the battle with evil each day to be fought;
With wonders above us, beneath and around,
Which sages are seeking to mark and expound;
With work to be done in our fast passing prime,
Can ever there be for us plenty of timer"
Our schooling at most lasts few score of years,
Spent in sunshine and shadow, in smiles or in
tears,
While none are quite equal, howeer they be
cassed,
And judgments too often are faultily passed
'Twixt eternity past and its future to stand
Like a child sea surrounded on one speck of
land,
There to work out the duties that make life
sublime.
Oh, surely there cannot be plenty of time!''
Camilla Crosland in Chambers Journal.

that his father sold his beans and pOta-

Concerning the origin of the bedbug
there is much dispute. For long time
it was declared that tie creature was
introduced into Europe in timber
brought from America, but this Is
doubtless untrue The name bug Is
a Celtic word signifying ghost or COB
lin, perhaps because the animal is par
ticularly the terror of the night Hence
the term ''bug bear" and hug" in this
sense, often occurs in Shakespeare In
Nicholson's Journal there is mention of
a man who, far from disliking bedbugs,
took them under his protecting care
and would never suffer them to be dis
turbed, until in the end they swarmed
to an incredible degree, and after his
death millions were found in his bed
and chambe furniture. Two centuries
ago there was hospital at Surat, not
for human beings, but for the lower
animals. even to insects Beggars were
hired by the management OF this
humanitarian concern to pass nights
among the feas and bedbugs, on the
expressed condition of suffering them
to enjoy their feast without molesta-
ton. At the present time the bedbug
is sometimes given by country people
in Ohio as a cure for ague.-Washing-
