THE DISSIPATED BEE.
He was a dlssipated bee,

He was dissipated bee,
A rounder of wide renown,
Who came humping home unsteadily
When twilight settled down;
He'd rather revel the whole night
When the flower inns shut up shop,
But he couldn't find his way, he knew,
So, at home he had to stop.
Now, this bee, deprayed, had a hard
old head
Though swelled with rotations deep;
He was ever loath to go to bed
And by day he loved to sleep.
So he wooed and won a freely fair,
For he thought she would lend her
light
SO he could prowl through the ev'ning
air
And paint the town at night.
He dreamed of life of lazy ease,
OF visits to see the play,
Where spiders swung on the high
trapeze
And centipedes led the ballet;
Where bald old beetles of morals lax
Leered down from the upper tier,
And little lady bugs tween the acts
Passed round the brown root beer.
But vain were the hopes Of this booty
bee,
For his bride proved far too fly
TO lend her lamp when he sought a
spree
And the summer moon was high.
On! she proved to be fiery spouse,
This flying spark Of light.
Instead Of securing his hoped carouse
She made him work all night!

SUMMER REGNANT.

with sweet reluctance in her golden
eyes
Summer bath put the imperial rose
away,
And donned her poppy-crown, whose
gorgeous dyes
Are like the skies Of the declining
day;
The minstrel wind that erst was
wont to say
Musical matins at the prime OF morn
Now swoons within the pine tree
tops afar.
And when the bee forsakes his
drowsy horn,
Red CLOVIS the evening star.
1t is the season of forgetfulness,
And cen the sharp clcada, ffng

stress;
We are content to let the hours

languidly;
way should we tease ourselves 10 ma

and where
with DER us brooding such ethereal
blue,
Such yasts OF halcyon air!
In opulence Of calm enough to dwell
On all the engIrdling beauty--to give

TO the entertainment Of the slumberous
spell,
Letting It clasp us as the sea the
shore'
Like those that drink mandragora,

Where. by the side of Summer, sits en-

HORNED EPICUREAN BUG.
Entomologists Puzzled Over Find That
Eats Centipedes.


Bugology is looking up in these
parts And there are Others beside the
osculating bug. One evening recently
Mount Pleasant man, while taking
stroll through the woods lining tho
Fourteenth street road, found a hing
that looked like a novelty to him II
was a horned, serpentine affair, some
thing ike caterpillar in shape. about
an inca long. Six stripes around tha
bugs body emitted a brilliant phos-
phorescent light, like unto that radi-
ated by the bug that lightnings. The
Mount Pleasant man corralled the
bug. He found the next morning that
the stripes encircllng the bug were OF
pale green color, and that they ONLY
illuminate the bugs toilsome way at
night He took the insect to the bug
oogists at the department of agricul-
ture, and their excitement was some
thing mighty when they examined It,
They pronounced it an extraordinarily
rare specimen, and the Mount Pleas
ant man walked forth serene in the
thought of his contribution to Science,
with an upper-case S.
The department of agriculture bug
ologists looked up data appertaining to
this particular bug, and they found
that it only dined off centipedes, and
centipedes of a peculiar breed at that
They chucked all kinds of ordinary
common, everyday centipedes into the
n btrr, -
only turned up his horns at the onery
centipedes with fine gastronomic scorn
and declined firmly to partake of them
So ii was necessary for the
department of agriculture bugolo-
gists to hunt up the partic-
ular breed of cCntipedes esteemed
worth eating by the illuminative bug,
and four Of them have been hunting
the same after office hours ever since.
They're all losing sleep in their fran
tic efforts to keep that bug sleekly
and fatty fed, and there are large
dark circles under the eyes of all four
of them. II, in driving along the
Fourteenth street road late at night
you should see four lanthorns moving
mysteriously through the forest on
both sides Of the drive, you are not to
suppose that those woods are haunted
by flock Of DIogeneses. The lanterns
are being packed around by four
learned gentlemen, whose whole object
in life just now is to keep one inch
long bug from registering a howl over
the inadequacy of its rations.-Wash

BLACK SHEEP OF DARK PEOPLE
And How the Negro Race Protected
Each Other.

Lynching usually takes place 10
agricultural districts where homes are
more or less isolated, and therefore
peculiarly exposed to the sort of depre-
dations for which Judge Lynch metes
out his swftest and mos direct pun
ishment, The Southern states being al
most wholly agricultural white fami-
lies are most frequently found sur
rounded by those Of the black race,
The latter are, as a rule, trustworthy,
or at worst harmless; but among them
are d certain number OF deprayed
creatures sure 70 accept every oppOr-
tunity to do evil They are the black
sheep OF a dark flock. And just here
Is the place to note one OF The cardinal
faults OF the Southern negroes; they
rarely fail to harbor black criminals,
no matter how heinous their acts. A
Fugitive rocking with tie blood Of
murder, and Of outrage infinitely
worse, finds sympathetic asylum in
every cabin he comes to. 1t is the
race blindly justifying Itself as against
its superior enemy, the white man.
Before the negr were freed there
were very few heiuous crimes booked
against them in the South; since the
close Of the war the one supremacy ex-
asDerating outrage has become more
and more frequent; and as lynching
certainly follows, mob executions have
multiplied aFace. Other crimes, some
times not very terrible ones, have,
however, called for Judge Lynch's
swift punishment A negro who OBJ
structed a railroad and caused disaster
and death was cooked upon a stove-a
heathenish vengeance for a heathenish
act; but In Indiana some white men
we're hanged because they were sus-
pected Of stealing and other minor
fe'onies. Maurice Thompson in Lip

HEALTHFUL FANCY IN A CHILD.
Explanation of What Seems Preco-
ciousness in Children.

/ 4
ciousness in Children.
An active, healthy imagination is one
of the hapqiest gifts a child can pos
sess, If we watch an intelligent child,
or years old, who believes him
self unnoticed, we will probably be
astonished at the richness and fer
tility of the fancy which can give life
and color TO dull, commonplace things,
and weave whole stories and dramas
around the simple toy that it plainly
stands for But we will perceive that
even his widest romances found
themselves upon many facts, for free
and frolicsome as imagination may APP
pear, it is subject to its laws 1t deals
with real things in a playful way; 1t
embroiders, paints, molds, but it must
have its material; it's basis in actual
life, What we call creative ability is
really ncching but the power to recon
.struct, perhaps to connect several sep
arate plans or patterns into a whole
which seems different from the origi-
nal The child is an artist who daubs
his oolors boldly, without any sense OF
the absurdbies he may commit, and
SO he often produces effects that sur
prise others as well as himself Many
of the acts that seem so precocious be-
cause we suppose chem to be the out
come of a well-considered plan are
really happy accidents; not devoid Of
the merit of originality but neither to
be oyerpraised as work of genius
Childhood is one unbroken succession
.of experimenting
Play is the proper and natural out
let from a childs thoughts. To re-
strain his motion is to drive back his
living fancy into the recesses of his
mind, and this results in his confusion
and unhapqiness Some children who
are forced to be still and passive when
they are longing for action find relief
In whispering over stories to them
selves; but ii is an unsatisfactory sub
stitute for dramatic action And it is
also morally injurious, for the neces-
sity of concealing ones ideas destroys
after awhile the ability for fluent ex-
preston, and brings about timldity and
distrust of our friends,
