r June. l Oh, regal, radiant, royal June! Oh, glooming, golden, gorgeous June! Oh, qneenly month eo glorious! Oh, summer month victorious! Who bringeth our weary spirits into tune! Oa, month ol bloom, and love und roses, Within thy aims how eoft reposes Young summer, in its muiden flush! How blithe the dancing waters pass, In singin? rills, thiough springing grass, In morn's first early blush! Oh, linger, sunshine! speed not soon, Thou silver-crested Juno moon! Oh, happy days, and skies oi blue, Ana permnica mornings, ?rc?n wi n uew: The air is lrei^hto 1 with tresh song. Waited the gentle gales along; Milil stars look down from heaven above, Smiling on earth with tender love; And in the gladsonio summer weather We 1I1 cam fresh dreams ot lmgraiU heather; While eHch fond heart is all aglow With prophecies ol love, I trow; Though hard the lessons lilo 'loth tcach, Heaven seems almost within our reach! While the luturo lair discloses Buds as bright as baby roses! Oh, queen of summer n onths so lair! Oh, reign ol blush and bloom so rare! Oh, month ol seas of mottled flowers, Which now their richest hues display With all their wealth ot bright array! i Ob, month.oi' warm refreshing showers!? : . Of new-mown bav, and apple-bloom, . That rt'tl the air with sweet perlame; v Oh, merry month ol strangest year! How sweet thy low, solt voice to bear In echoes solt, o'er hill and down, While summer sheds o'er all a crown! Nature, in lovely garb attired, Comes lorth, a queen to be admired; In mood oi blushing bride She walks in stately bride; How solt her voice, how sweet her smile, She sits thy feet beside; Pansies she holds in dimpled hands; And lilies lair, with lavish air, She plucks lrom out her shining hair And scatters broadcast o'er the lands; Then on each tree she prints a kiss, L . 01 maiden birth, and crowns the earth With floral wreaths, and perlect bliss! Oh, truant lover, haste away, And cliifllv rrppt thv nuntial duv. And wed the maid that jilted May! Then to the wild wood we will hie, Apd gather flowers 'neath sunny 6ky, And plait a wreath lor thy lair brow, An emblem fresh of thy lovo-vow; The skies ol blue bid thee be true, And woo her tenderly as now! Thy love reposes on thy bosom, Wita breath as frebh as lily blossom; She smiles, but only smiles lor thee? Her eyelids shade true constancy! Now sing the robin, thrush and linnet, Their song, with sweetest music in it; On radiant wing the butterfly Disports beneath the azure sky, Or sipB the dew from flower to flower, Or airs its wings in shaded bower? Fair creature of a summer day, How swiltly BpeedB its liie away! And the nectar-dranken bee, Revelsjin ceaseless jubilee; . Through all the lODg day feasts and sups, From lily-urns and buttercups! And leaping locust, in shell ol brown, With sharpened spinnet makes resound; All through the dell, o'er hill and mead, God's music wings its way with epeed! And thus glad month of floral prime And balmy showers, Happy and ali too-fleeting time! We gather flowers, And long tor purer liie divino, And heavenly hours! . Meeiden, Conn. ?Luihtr G. Higgs. * ' . WINIFRED'S FLOTSAM. It was not because he was a woirauhater that Guy Averill. at seven-aud- j twenty, was still a bachelor and heart-! whole. Until this summer he had ! never been rich enough to support a wife; it whs almost more than he could j Hn to nf himself sn >ir? rliil mt ! feel justified in paying attentions to any I lady seriously. Although he was industrious and: talented, clients were few and far be- j tween?were almost unknown to the deserving young lawyer until he did not so sorely need them. One weeksuch is the perversity of fate?after he Sot news that an uncle bad died and left him his sole heir, and lound that he was i sure of an incomc of nearly two tliou- , rfand a yar, then the world suddenly } realized that young Averiil was a very ! promising lawyer! Having a good income and prospects of plenty of remunerative work, Guy I . - Averiil began to think seriously of matrimony, and rather eagerly accepted an invitation to accompany his chum, i - Cassius Barclay, to the little town of New Myrtle, where said chum's fiancee j lived. For this fiancee, Helen Tremaine, bad ' two sisters, and Mrs. Averiil agreed i with Cassius Barclay that there were not three such girls in the world as the three Tremaines. Mrs. Averiil had met them one winter in Washington and afterward had spent six ?veeks at! .their house; hence Guy's invitation, i fhAllrrh Ko liori nnrrtr enm ama f 41m I * t/uvwha uu uvr.l C?U \SA1U Ui LUC family. He knew them all by description. Helen was not pretty, but was domestic, ( accomplished and very charming; the next one, Winifred, was a great rider, y ' swimmer, skatei, archer--in fact, , "awfully fast," though magnificently beautiful; so Guy felt a stronir presenti- ; ment that while he would like Helen, ( and tolerate Winifred for her sake, he would be very srrc to fall captive to ], the charms of nineteen-year-old Marcia, j j the gentle, fail*, .lovable girl whose pic- ture he had so much admired ? When he first saw Marcia he was a j little disappointed; ber picture llattered . her; but he soon foreot that in eontem- . plation o f her graceful figure, her gentle , voice and her quiet womanly ways. He i loved to see a woman all womanly, thought a needle and not a pen should Ka hor IaaI KnliftfA'l ill*** 1 l.?

"Yes," answered Marcia, sweetly. " She ought to, she spends hours on hir horse." "Do you lide?" "Not much. I don't care for suchsuch violent exercise. In fact, I don't \ have much time for it, I have a good j' , deal of sewing to do, and?" Marcia ;1 hesitate d and shook out her work rather * ostentatiously. i - -?-r "I didn't know you had any little ( folks in the house," said Guy, his atter- < tion thus drawn to the small apron in 1 her hand. j] | ""Oh, we haven't! This is for some ! ' ] of our p ?or Sunday-school children.!' I When I :im at a loss for employment I j !

It seems I to me a great waste of time to pass hours i iauu uuui-j in n;HKing uiueous uaies and i mat?, or high art curtains out ot tick- ' ' ing and such stuff.' i "Don't you ever sew?*' j " Not if I can avoid it; ccrtainly nor.

No. I don't work for the ] t poor?as Marcia does," was Winifred's I t contemptuous reply. j( And (iuy way disgusted. How was , i li? to know that the little apron in j i M ircia's hands would never have been I t tho.Jg;.t ot if Gay Averill (whose i ino.h'.-r had written of bis love for I 1 womanly women) had not been there to ; < see and hear it? ] But though he was disgusted with i this athletic young woman'* ?entimenta, i he was by no means no wttb her. H?r i carfrbluc riding htbU ebowed bar mp. ; I in.11... pie form to perfection, her soft brown tiair was ruffled by the wind, and her cheeks with health and vigor, and she was a great contrast to her pale homekeeping sister. And as the days passed, Guy was compelled to change his lirst opinions of the sisters. Winifred's health, spirits and temper seemed to be perfect; Marcia, on the other hand, sometimes for.-ot her would-be gentleness and showed a snappish petulance that amazed Guy. " What a helpful, cheery woman she would be!" meditated Guy, but not of Marcia. "No headaches, nosulk9.no sharp speeches! But there, in a wife one needs domestic virtues as well sis a good disposition; her ability to dance and ride, skate and swim, shoot and 1 M rv?r? I? OQ inorHfr Ul I VI', >V Ail ilWt r\?

Fancy this lovely young Amazon trying to cook a steak if there should be a rebellion in the kitchen!1' i5ut though Guy thought he was fully determined to marry some oue more like Marcia, yet \Y inifrc-d ruled his dreams by day and night. At last he got to this pass: "Will such a girl ever consent to settle down to domestic life? Will she not laugh at me il 1 dare to speak of love?" One day Helen and Cassius went to a neighboring town on business, and Marcia, Winifred and Guy went rowing on the river, a narrow, deep and rapid stream. Just after the girls had landed Marcia fpied an empty basket floating down the stream and declared that she wanted it, so Guy rowed out alone to get it. Suddenly, they never knew why, the boat capsized, and Guy in trying to repain it was carried vet further down the stream. ' Never mind the boat!" shouted Winifred. "Swim ashore, the current is very strong." Which Guy at last concluded to do. When nearly in shore he was suddenly seized with cramps and could swim no lurthe**. Marcia shrieked and wrung her liauds, and cried: "Oh, he'll drown?he'll drown!" " Hold your tongue! Run to Patterson's for help," cried Winifred, peremptorily, and at the same time sprang into the river herself. in a few seconds she was beside the sinking man, clutching him firmly by the arm with one of her strong hands she struck out slowly but surely for ttie shore. Guy was tall and well proportioned, and it took all her strength to get him to land, but she did it and nr,; ? too soon, for her own strength was I \ 'tig out. The heavens be praised!" cried Jim II terson. It is lucky for poor Mr. A -Till that he wasn't alone with J! -s Marcia! It's a strong arm and ct.urag' . lis heart you've got, Miss Wini frtd! Come, Joe, lend a hand, and we'll carry him home. Faith, but he's heavy." The doctor was sent for, and Guy's inopportune cramp proved to have been caused by a disordered system, consequently he was quite ill lor some days. * llis mother was sent for, and lie had the best of care, though he would rather have had Winiired with him more. It was always Marcia who,fanned him and read to him in his mother's absence, though Winifred always brought him his moals. and somehow the heretofore admired sweetness began to pail. He sighed lor a little breezy chat as on a warm summer afternoon one will sigh for an invigorating seabreeze. 41 Mother," said he, suddenly, the first day he was able to sit up, " which do you like best, Winifred or Marcia?" "Just til; question I have intended to ask you," was Mrs. Averiil'd diplomatic reply. " Marcia is very gentle." " Very; and so quiet." "Winifred is strong, mentally as well as physically." "She is an admirable girl." Clearly he would get no decidcd opinion from his mother. He began again: " The fellow that gets either of them for a wife will be lucky." ^ If avw f??iin To f horo onn ?

But she said: "Who? Mareia?" " Marcia! Oh, mother," he laughe\ " I never thought you'd be so sarcastic! No, I menu Winifred, of course. Dear, courageous girl! I owe my life to her braverv!'" " Indeed you do." "What 1 lear is that so grand, so iarge-heai ted a girl?one so full of vigorous life?will never consent to settle down in the quiet way in which my wife may have to live for a little while, for two thousand dollars a year is not limitless. Fancy Winifred pottering over domestic details, regulating the servants and ordering the dinners! Fancy my queen in a dark, dirty Kitchen!" "Winifred Tromaine will never permit her kitchen to be dirty! Guy, who do you suppose has prepared your tea and toast, your beef-tea and toast, your blancmange and jelly, your dropped eggs, your little dainties of ill sorts, these three weeks past?" " Why, the cook, of course!" " By 110 means. Winifred has herself prepared every mouthful she has brought you; she makes every loaf of bread and cake, every pudding and pie, that is eaten in this house." "You amaze me!" 'Why? Because she don t make n show of her work ? Because she enjoys outdoor Jife after attending to her domestic duties? She is not only a good rider and all that, but she is thoroughly and practically domestic." Guy didn't say any more then, but he did considerable thinking. A week later he said to Winifred: "I have never yet thanked you for saving my life, Miss Tremaine?" "Please say no more!" she cried, hastily. " What else could I have tlone?" 44 And I am not going to thank you until I know whether my rescued life is to be one of happiness or misery. Winifred, I love you very dearly! Can you love me a little? Can you consent A) be my wife? If not, if you give me 10 hope, I shall blame you for not let:ing me drown that day. Just one (vord, darling!" '41?I?I don't like to be blamed. And Guv didn't blame her.

Tli bin?in accordance witn tne instruc- "u. tions which I received from you on the j>". fourth inst., I proceeded to Kent county, bei Del., in order to investigate the serious l{1? irruption of the army worm which ha P? occurred in that locality. ^ 1 I found that this insect had com* *h mitted great ravages, especially in fields W1' of wheat and corn. In every instance I Pr? observed they first appeared in wheat. ^5 After destroying the leaves and beard of j101 the wheat, and in some instances eating hftf into the upper end of the kernels, they fee; marched, or attempted to march, into neighboring fields. The greatest injury P"1 done was to corn, which, being tenoer", on was eaten to the ground wherever it was encountered by the worms in their lst< march. ^ The fanners of that county have been *IS' vigorous in their efforts to protect p.nc themselves from the spreading of tins tivi pest; and in many instances, by means PGC of ditches and pits, have succeeded in his J saving large fields of corn, and at the llie same time trapping and destroying mil- ?f' lions of|worms. The danger in that f?r section ,Jor this season is nearly past; avc but in localities further north, where &l'e 1 the pest is later in appearing, much re- a9J 1 mains to be done. or i 1 In answer to the many queries which fftn you have referred to me respecting the un* natural history of this pest, and meth- tur ods of protecting crops from its ravages, n<vt [ I inclose a condensed account. :irc Very respectfully, ore J.

I The following resume of what is knoMn asr respecting the army worm (Helio-phila cor (Leucania) unipuncta) is condensed I ' from an account of this insect prepared lies ; by me for the forthcoming annual re- so ' port of the department of agriculture. ani The adult insect is a night-flying moth crei of a dull brown color marked in the fun ! center of each forewing with a distinct put I white spot, and with an expanse of kill wing of a little over an inch and three- of t quarters. ofli Tlio onrr in wlntp and jilrrmsf. nerfpotlv fin<i | spherical; its average diameter is 23- age i 1000 of an inch. The moth deposits her a v eggs in the folds of leaves of grass or and Sain, nearly always concealing them thu im sight by pushing them down in the wh infolded portion of the leaf, or by ce- iste mentinpthe edees of tbe leaf together soc over them. The eggs may be laid A singly or in rows, which sometimes wit contain as many as fifteen or twenty. out army worm, writers have long differed, hav We can now safely state that it passes reli the winter both in the moth and chrys- phi< alis state, the former being more common in the southern part of the country E and the latter in the northern region?, one form and color of the larva wc eacl e. The duration of its life at, this ie varies irom fifteen to thirty days nore. When full grown the worms tow for an inch or more in the und, and there transform to pupal, 'he pupa is dark brown in color and <ut three-lourths of tn inch in r ?th. < 'lie number of generations in a sea- < varies greatly with the climate. In ? Northern States it has always been J posed to have but one generation. * )fetsors Thomas and French state ' t there are normally two broods in ^ rthern Illinois, and probably three in j more southern portions of that State. ] jfessor Riley has demonstrated two ? ods normally and three exceptionally ? the latitude of St. Louis. Further :th, during winters of unusual mild- j s, a succession of broods is kept up j ough the entire year. During the sent year (1879-80) we have received l-grown worms with accounts of nage to winter grain in the months December, Janu?.ry and February, m localities as far north as Union mty, S. C? and Marion county, Tenn. iinarily, however, in those States, 1 always further north, the insect i dormant through the winter months. Concerning the hibernation of the ere is also a possibility that the full >wn worms hibernate more or less quently. In either case, as soon as ! weather becomes warm in the ing, the moths emerge from their Dal cases or their hibernating quars. and lay their eggs as before deibed. The duration of the ege state from eight to ten days. In 1879 eggs posited on clover in Washington tched about May 10. Hie natural habitat of the army worm is sta'.ed by Dr. Fitch to be "in the Id grass of wet spots, in swamps and the border of marshes," and in this iteoaent he has been followed by irly all succeeding writers. Thequesn then naturally arises, what is the jise of these sudden and extensive riodical visitations to cultivated >ps? Dr. Fitch observed that the year 51 was very wet, while that of 1860 1 d been cxtremeiv dry. On examin* the records he'found that in previs worm years the season in which the irms apDeared was wet, while the eceeding year was dry. He therefore aposed the theory that in a drv season is insect having an unlimited extent feeding range becomes greatly multied, "and when it is thus multiplied ret season and overflowed swamps iveitout from its lurking pls.ce in cks, alighting here and there over the untry. But on being thus rusticated, finds our arable lands too dry for it, d immediately on maturing and getg its wings again it flies back to the amps, whereby it happens that we ; no more of it." Professor Ri.ey opted this theory, and showed that j conditions in 1869 and 1875 (tw? irked army worm years) coincided th those mentioned by Fitch. now TO DESTROY THE TEST. [f the theory just quoted be true the 3t means of preventing the occurrence this pest in cultivated fields will be keep watch of any extensive tracts of v land which miiy be in the neighbor od, and if army worms are aiscov:d destroy them either by burning er the land if possible or bv noisoninc tk arsenic, Paris green or London rple or by any other means of which 3 local conditions will admit. In fact vould be well to burn over all the low ids in the vicinity each winter, thus Hlroying the hibernating insects. I donor feel implicitconfidence,howi>r, in the above theory, as I have ob ved the army worms feeding in small rubers in meadows on high lands icre their presence there could not be plained by the reasons given. Moreer, irora what data I have been able obtain while preparing this article, it pears that the present season has not r*n a wet one in those localities in lich the army worm has appeared lis failing to confirm the theory. It is >rthy of rote, however, that in mo^t stances the localities infested by the >rm this year are in the vicinity of tensive tracts of low lands. I am refully collecting evidence on these ints and will publish the results as an as practicable. [n case the wrrins do appear in cultited lands the best plan of action to How ist/> prevent 1 he spreading of the lect. T his may be done by destroy: them or by confining them to the Ids in which they apt ear. The best ;thod of destroying thrm is by crush; with rollers or by poisoning with sonic, Paris green or London purple, ther of these substances can be aped rapidly by mixing with water ard ing a fountain pump or garden syr?e. In many instances, however, we remedies are impracticable. The jocd line of defense remains and it ill carried rut the result -will not ;roly be the confining of the worms to 2 fields in which they appear, but the Btruction of them a No win n they atnpt to migrate to other fields. This done by the means of diicheiand pits g around the infested fit Id or that to i protected. The ditches can be made ite rapidly. First plow a furrow th the land side next to the field to be otec ed, and then with a spade make is side ot the furrow vertical, or if e soil be compact enough to admit of overhanging. When the ditch is mpleted, holes should be dug in it >m one foot to eighteen inches deep d from twenty to thirty feet apart. ie sides of these holes should also be rtical, or if possible, overhanging, le worms unable to climb up the vcral side of the ditch will crawl along 2 bottom of it and fall into the holes, lere they will soon perish. Where J soil is sandy, so that the ditch cant be made with a vertical side, it duM be dug deeper than in other ses and the side made as nearly peridieular as possible, so thatwhen the irms attempt to crawl up the sand 11 crumble beneath them and cause ;m to fall back again. r.

About five miles east of the ;itv is a small trestle work, and Mr. Liiphel, in attempting to cross it, missed tils footing and fell through, his gun dropping from his hand and tailing into the dry creek below, a distance probably of twelve feet. Mr. Liphel, in his fall, was caught in such a manner as to be unable to extricate himself. One of his arms was lodged in the timbers in 3uch a way that ne could not use it, and with the other he abored in vain to release himself. Then the horrid thought rushed across his mind that it was nearingthe time for.theeastern train to arrive, and it made the blood run cold in his veins. He renewed his exertions to release himself from a most frightful predicament, well knowing that unless he accomplished the task before the arrival of the train a horrible fate would be his. But he was so wedged in between the strong timbers that all his efforts were in rain, ftrp.afc Hrons of Derspiration hung upoa his forehead, and his face was as pale as death. A low, distant rumbling told the terrible story. Again he worked with his one hand, until so exhausted that he could work no longer. He feebly shouted for help. He desperately tore at the timbers around him, but all to no purpose. The thunder of the train grew nearer and nearer. The ominous rattle of the wheels rang out the death-knell to poor Liphel's hopes, and with a cry of wild despair he sank back in his position with closed eyes, and with a prayer on his colorless lips awaited his doom. The horrible clatter of the train sank like a knife into the soul of the unfortunate man. He again raised up and waved his hat as the merciless train flashed around a curve and bore down upon him with frightful velocity, but neither the engineer nor the fireman saw the unfortunate man's sicnal. Liphel now gave up all hope, and he dropped forward upon the timbers in helpless agony, and in an unconscious state. The train came thundering down upon him, and at this point the reporter rolled out of bed and lound that he had been dreaming a terrible dream. Pueblo (Col.)
