rrs,y day these canary-colored butter
s;.s M skin along through the grove not
4 - aocks nor in pairs, but lingly and
j :, their leisure, perhaps one in min
4 80 on an average, and would never
.,,,.ct any notice if attention was not
4 .,1led to it. They are all alike-the
4 me mature size, with with wings
& M .hont one and one-half inches of tri-
4 ,D,ular shape, and they move south
q r,yd in graceful leisurely fight and
.sver stop to rest or to suck flower.
] friend wrote me from Milledgeville
H., wear that he supposed they win
4 ,sred in south Georgia or Florida, but
i ny opinion is that they not only win
A ~ but die, for they never come back.

#,bev leave home, and 80 we have a
successive fight every year.
q The instinct of birds and insects is
!, science to be studied. Neither the
3b;rds nor the butterflies have any set
a1s7s for their migration. Some in
8.,;uct tells them when to start and
i |,uides them in their fight. Even the
little spider weaves his web in the
might, knowing there will be no rain
lin the morning. The Lord answered
LOB out Of the whirlwind and made
3him ashamed of his lack Of knowledge.
WHO causeth it to rain upon the
fesrth and the bud Of the tender herb
Mo spring forth? Who can stay the
abottles of heaven when the dust grow
Beth into hardness and the clods cleave
#fsst together? Who provideth for
athe raven his food when his young
|ery unto God? Doth the hawk fly by
3thy wisdom and the eagle mount up at
s1thy commando"
4 Speaking Of insects, I tell you, my
Brethren. there are some hideous
kinds in this sublunary world. I have
E3long been friendly with the tomato
q plant because it vas insect proof, but
3this rainy season has developed some
horrible worms upon the stems. Big,
s|ong, bull-headed, green worms with a
8i!ing in the tail can be seen all about
'5amoDg the vines. These green worms
sGe covered with white pustules that
5zare about e-eighth Of an inch long
sasnd stand up thick and stiff and seem
to be eggs or embryo or germs or
4 Rsonething that is devilish. These
white robes are so visible that they
warn you wEere the worms are. The
sss=sTm itself is nct unlike tobacco
worm, but has diamond back and
division cords to match. I have seen
pack saddles on green corn stalks that
5vere horrible but beautiful, and this
brovokes me to remark that most all
jlhe devils contrivances are beautiful
pust what such insects are made for
pssseth comprehension. So many
harmless and lovely things abound in
nature that we are sure our Creator
PPSTss IssPST us OF He would not have made
Bahe Il birds to sing, the flowers to bloom,
the stars to shine and the sir to be
ssIhlled with music. We have use fol
81 sRhe horse and the COW, the dog and
81 FAAs cat, and for sheep and fowls, and
fsen for honey bees, but what possible
peneft can these hideous insects be te
anybody. 1t looks as though the good
iod made all the good and beautiful
Sdiugs and then the devil got privi
a@gsee s. aud put in his .adiwork in the
hape of venomous serpents, wild
q peasts, tarantulas and finished NJ
nth showers OF mosquitoes. COBB
