Says the New York Independent {:
Our dailies show a great lack of rever-
ence in describing the weather. The
Tribune spoke of the expected cyclone
from the Gulf as coming north at an
"easy jog;;" the Times said it "seems
to have bumped against Nova Scotia
"high" (area of high pressure); the
Herald characterized it as "a very
slow cyclone, and said it ''must put
on more steam;" the World told its
readers that the great storm is on its
way, but sis taking things easier than
the weather sharps thought" Thus
do our great papers exhibit their
genius in making the oldest and COM
monest of topics interesting.

scavengers upon wings and remove lit
tie by little much matter that might

peared among them which is depriv
ing thousands of them of life. 1t is o
fungous growth beginning in the tbs
sues of the insect, pushing through
the skin, and finally "blossoming" and
fruiting, thus creating seeds for its fu
ture propagation.
Grasshoppers and other insects are
similarly affl icted. Everywhere.

DAYS.

WHAT is the message OF days, what is tho
thought they bring
Days that darken to winter, days that
sweeten to spring?
Is there lore to learn; is there q truth to be
told?
Hath the new dawn ray that never flashed
from the old?
Day that deepens to night, night that broad
ems to day,
What is the meaning of all, what Is the word
they say?
Silence for aye and aye, and the heart
beats never cease
Till toll and life and :he day are the night
and death and peace.
