Sometimes an awful sense of weariness oppressed me; my feet sunk to the ankles in the re morseless. yielding sands; the intense heat shriveled my skin and parched my lips. But my companion was never weary and paused not. If I turned laggard she prompted me to greater exertion with the words: ‘Kvcn the desert has'an end. Yonder lies your w^. The troubles you now endure are but blessings In disguise. ■ At the end there is eternal peace and a laurel wreath for your brow. Would you fall now, after you have suffered so much?"

"It seemed to me that months had been consumed in our journey, when at last we attained the banks of a limpid stream.

It was not a coun tenance of raiflbeauty. as the world or dinarily Judges the blandishments of women: but it was pure and sweet and true. It touched my heart as never had woman's face appealed to it be fore.

Some strange impulse moved me to send down my report and to accept an invitation from the president of the faculty to attend an evening recaption at the college hall This was not in consonance with my ordinary habits, for a peculiar and sometimes most un pleasant diffidence led mo to avoid rather than seek public assemblages of tho kind. The night was warm, aud the ladies sought the pleasant balco nies overlooking the bay to enjoy the refreshing breeze from the Pacific. As I sauntered np to one of the windows I observed a young woman, who in some mysterious way did not impress me as a stranger, gazing abstractedly into the starry depths overhead. Thinking that it was some one to whom I had been introduced during the evening, I aroused her from her reverie by a com monplace remark. Ai she turned her face towards mine our oyes met I started back in astonishment I had met the lady of my dream!

There are two species of locusts. One clast is seventeen year* old at (ho time of birth, the other class only shows a registration of thirteen years. There is very lit tie difference between the two classes, that is. human investigation dcvolopes but little differ ence, but tho locusts tlicmselves main tain a social breach which years have failed to bridge over. A 17 locuet and a IS locust, although their clothes are cut in very much tno same fashion, do not linger in each other’s society. The iociHt does not oat corn, cabba ges or cucumbers, but goes into the woods and splits rail timber. How he can split a piece of wood that would launt the courage of the professional rail-maker has not been explained. He may have an improved maul and wedge which he keeps carefully con cealed from the meddlesome eye of the curious. While at work he sings s low, droning song, never attempting to change his tunc, but with his un winking eye co the business in hand, he does his best to prevent his neigh bor from singing more discordantly | than he himself is doing. (> m O n Tennessee, loousts were so numerous ll »e termers turned them under with a plow*.Ip-iftrtillre the ground with them. The farmsW- ^ m * gratuiated themselves on tho richne&L of their ooming crops, but, when in toe spring, they plowed tbe fertilized land, they were astonished to find, not a sign of increased richness, but six teen round holes to the square ineh. Since that time the tend has produced nothing but holes. This has rendered the land practically worthless as no market for the product can be found. The greatest damage done by the lo cust results from the attention which he pays to young apple trees. He would ratoer split a young apple tree than to lead tho festivities at a german, and although this illustrates a perni- eions nature, yet sensible people do not blame him. As an article of diet, toe locust has founa but little favor iu America, but in central Australia, the Bushmen eat them with great relish. If locust# must be eaten, it is said that they do heat in boarding-house soup, lor toon yon get so few of them. There is no affinity between the grasshopper and the locust The grass hopper is, in the broadest sense, a vegetarian. He illustrates too fallacy of tho vegetarian principle for every one who has studied entomology knows that the grasshopper is not so vigorous as the mosquito or Ike wood-tick. The i.igeiuiou of the locust is won derful. Allbu ugh having filled him self with hard oak timber, he is not irritable, like Carlyle used to be, but slugs os merrily as though his maw were as empty as the stomach of a man who has partakea of refreshments at tholunoh counter of a cbarch fair. The locust oau be traced buck to the days of Johu the Baptist. John, it is said, ate locusts and wild honey. At one time it w.is thought that if you planted a locust, a locust tree would spring up, but u recent paper, published in the North American Re view, exploded this idea. What tho future of tho locust will be, no man can tell. I’roL Donnelly, who confirms tno rumor that Bacon wrote the plays attributed to Bhakspeare, says that tlio ioeust, with bis great idea ol mathematics, will, daring years to come, continue to multiply under the face of the earth. He claims to have itscovercd a cypher by which he aan plainly demonstrate this theory. He is at present eugagi^l iu a book Aeveted to this subject. Thu sales of toe work w!Ti no doubt bo very large, but the as^ sort ions ami alleged proof of the sltrewd investigator shhuid be received wuh luarkod aeution. Matthew Arnold holds a somewhat different opinion. Ha says that the locnst, like the mastodon, shall pasa away, and that, skeletons ol this powerful insect will furnish to future ages the ooly proof that it ouce existed. This is sad. It ahows that the world is oot really progressive. Noah, it Rat been satisfactorily •rov«(L4id net tak# locusts with him into the ark. As it was not a cam,-. paign year, the great navigator could not find a locust. After tha flood had sabetead, Noah remarked to Ham: Pot on your canvass, Ham, and come along with mo." “WhiflterP" Ham asked. “Out In the field. 1 want to dig down deep aud see if I can find any locusts." They wont ont* and dug, but found none. Then Noah said that the locust was extinct, bnt several years after ward, when ho had planted an apple orcltard, toe locnst came, chewed up bis trees and spat them over the fence. Matthew Arnold should think of this in cident, for It shows that tbe locust is immortal. King Pharaoh, Prince Keho and Count Roulette, In their day, recognized the power of to* locust.
