In every bush and cover
Are silver flutes an gold,
The robins singing il over
That cheers us In the cold;
When every bird Is lover
Her robins tale Is told.

Winter may come to stay,
With white AID silent rivers
And grass blades stin and gray,

Suicidal XaSpS of Paris.

M. Henry, Frenchman. being chr
ious, says au article quoted in Current
Literature, to see the effect of benzino
on wasp, put some of it under II
glass i'll which n wasp was imprisoned.
The wasp Immediately showed signs OF
great annoyance and anger, dartiug o.
n piece of paper which had introduced
the benzine in his cell. BY and by no
seems TO have given up the unequal
contest in despair, for he lay down on
his back, and, bending up his NIB.
domen. planted his sting thrice into
his body and then died. NJ. Henry
allowed his scientific interest to over
come his humanity so far as to repeat
the experiment with three wasps, only
to find that the other two did like
wise. He il, therefore, of opinion
that wasps, under desperate circum-
stances, commit suicide. The Italian
scientist, Cesare Lombroso, with his
interesting theories of crime in rela-
ton to animal life, could doubtless
give in detail the psychic experiences
and morbid reflections OF these irri
table insects.

A GAY DECEIvER.-Two weeks ago

of a Washington newspaper the follow
ing advertisement:
"A WHOEVER (59); WORTH 100000;
would marry lady willing to travel occasion.
ally to relieve monotoDy. WELLMiN, 1873
Sth ave, New York"
The advertiser received number OF
answers to the personal" and during
the past three weeks became engaged
to be married to three Washington
ladies, one of whom is q widow. He
pretended to be very wealthy in mines
and lands in Mexico, but lately he told
his victims he had been robbed of his
money and jewels by bighwaymen in
one of the Washington parks, and then
he began to borrow money from the
ladies. The trio eventually, after MAX
ing arrangements to mirry the man.
discovered the sad fact that they had
been duped, and concluded that they
had rather lose the money they had
advanced him than to have the no.
toriety of appearing in court. The de-
ceiver sailed under the names of How
ard and Kirkwood
