When asked to name the child the answer re turned was, ‘Edward Horton.’ The hgure outside the window waited to bear no more, but made a bound and hurried to his home, with a deep sense of the wrong he had done the woman who had been succoring his child.

He took her hand, and looking into her hon est eyes, said, ‘Are there any persons you would willingly have share your home?' ‘I only know of two,’ she replied, ‘but you wo‘ild not— Before she could conclude the senteuce her husband placed his finger upon her lips. ‘Never mind,’ he rejoined, ‘from th The Future of the South. ns time henceforth and forever, your wishes j indiistrie.s.

The day, then, is dawn ing when the lands of the South will be greatly lifted up in value. I have given much time and thought to the agricultu ral condition of the United States.

At last the coat gave way, and each Newfoundland swam proudly home with a piece of cloth in his mouth, so that “Turk's” master was obliged to plunge in himself to save his friend. Ho"vv Monkeys are Captured. Monkeys are pretty common, yet as all the families are remarkably cunning, has it ever oeourred to the reader how they are taken ? Pitfalls will take a lion, and the famished monarch will, after a few days’ starvation, dart into a cage cont ain- ing food and th-is be secured. But how are monkevs caught ? The ape family ■resembles man. Their vices are human. They love liquor, and fall. In Darfoiir and Senar the natives make a fermented beer, of which the monkeys are fond. Aware ot this, the natives go to the parts of the forest frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of the enticing liquor. As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it, he cries of joy, that attract his Then an orgie begins, and then in a short time they show all de^irees of intoxication Then the negroes appear. The few who came too late to gel fuddled escape. The drinkf rs are too far gone to distrust them, bur apparently take them for larger spe cies of their own genius. The negroes take some up, and these begin to weep maudlin kisses.

In an article on the wholesale destruc tion of birds in the United Btates, an ex change remarks: Professor Ei ley, of St, Louis, the State entomologist of Missouri than whom there is no closer observer or better authority upon the habits of in sects—^.e.stimates that one grouse will in one season consun"ie the eggs and larvse of looiista enough, if hatched out, to de stroy one hundred acres of crops. When, Therefore, men are allowmd to trap these birds to the extent of hundreds' of tons’ weight every season, is it any wonder that people are plagued with locusts 2 They have their choice—grouse or looinsts; if they choose the latter they should not GomplaiD. It is stated that nine hundred tons of the.se birds were received in Chicago last winter, and such was the glut in the mar ket That immense quantities were fed to the hogs or thrown into the lake. Alloy,'- ing that all that were killed amounted to nine hundred tons, the average weight of 'tt i-s Inn'd i being two pounds, there were porn'radps ' 900,000 of them, which, according to Pro ' I fessor Riley's estimate of their insect j feeding, would have consumed the eggs I and larvse of locusts sufficient to have de stroyed the crops on ninety millions of acres or three times the area of the State i of Pennsylvania. ! In prooortionate extent is the damage done by the destruction of other birds.
