I I, 33 T I O Vr Ar Wsc-! Democrat. WE WILL MEET AGAIN. Jjf,, l,unatrhf Inscribed to the Friends fr-jm ultom I'm Metered. Though distance hangs her dreary veil Hetweeu your present home and mine, Wreathes many a cheering tale Of hours which in the future shine; ( f coming days, when not as now, Long miles our homes will sever; 'Bmmd the same altar we will how, 44 And live and love together.' Oft memory lingers near to you. And fancy paints pa.-t pleasures hright; While absent QMS, I ' fond and true, Says ''Forget me not," hy day and night. When lonely twilight steals o'er earth. And with her mantle veils the ski s; When gatkvr'd n-und the family hearth. Your ardent prayers to Huav'n arise; Then, laved one. then rememher me. And a-k of G-d in huinhle prayer, That we may soon each other see In our old home so fain, d and dear. Adieu, for days uui months so weary. Thru la CuUrga Hall- I'll bid adi. u. And swiftly o'er the mountains dreary, I'll hie to loved ones ever true. And when I'm done with College duties, Mt gladly will I cease to roam, A stranger t the gay world's beauties, Content, will I remain at home. Then hate thou merry month of May ! Wh. n flower so sweetly bloom, I'd have thee linger not a day, For then I an going home. Then, too. I'll shed the parting tear, (Loved friends in every place we find) For Teachers noble, classmates dear, I, sorrowing, then must leave behind. Oh ! sad. sad and unhappy thought, That fii. nds who love must sever; I'.ut in Gild's sacred word we're taught: We'll meet in Heaven forever. Then shall we qmrJF the cup of joy, Filled from the crystal stieam ; I'. ace shall be ours without ttlloy, Eternal and serene. J. J. I). II. ('. F. College. August, lf-o7. GRASSHOPPERS. Our country, says the Ohio Farmer, has n great number of native species, familiarly known as grasshopper, and the damage which they commit yearly is considerable. La-t Spring, the inhabitants of Minnesota Territory suffered greatly by tbe ravages of Immense numb rs of these insects. They destroyed, in many places, all hope of a crop of any kind; for unfortunately. all the members of this family of destroyers appear to be indifferent as to the kind of 1 1 food which they devour. We have known them to eat up a man's shirt in a short time, in this Western Reserve: and providing it is living, green, vegetable matter, wheat, oats, or the produce of the garden or orchard all share alike. In the other hemisphere, laws have been passed and enforced compelling the people to destroy locusts in the egg, larva- and per fect winged states. Sueh a law is in force in China, similar ones in portions of India and Africa, and atone time the Bashaw of Tri poli raised an army of 4IM) men to fight the locusts, and ordered all to be hanged who would not do battle against these small enemies. The Territory of Utah has suffered al- 1 most every season from the locusts, one of the species of which, according to EI aide- Ma, in 4 'Pt anbury's Expeditions to the Great Salt Lake," is very nearly related to L. Migratoia. Whether it is this or an other species that has proved so injurious to the Corps of Minnesota, we are not aware. All the Locnstidrr deposit their eggs in masses, in a small cavity near the surface of the ground, so that those acquainted with the localities where such eggs are deposited Can easly collect a large number. This is done in France, where the government gives a considerable reward for the eggs, by weight, and also for the grown insects. The latter are caught generally with long drag nets, formed of a piece of common cotton cloth, ten or twelve feet long, with the lower edge held close to the ground, the upper held back slanting, forming a bng. When the insect jumps, it falls into the bag, and its efforts to escape, either by j imping forward or upward, are rendered abortive. Two men are required to handle th's net, one at each end, and it has to be passed over the ground rapidly. When a sufficient number of the insects are caught, they are put in a canvass bag. and the pro cess repeated until the field is cleared. The bags containing "the locusts are then plunged for a minute or two in boiling water which immi diatel v kills, and partially cooks the insects. They may then be fed to hogs or chickens, ns they are very nutritious; in many countries nyn eat them. They were accounted by the Levittcal law as ch an, the Jews and other nations in the vicinity of J odea considering them delicious. In Africa dogs eat them, and so do many of the inhabitants. Their taste is said to re semble that of prawns. We believe, if these insects should increase to any great extent, that our State governments should take action on the subject, either by offer ing rewards, as in France, for the eggs and insects, or by some other available means to reduce the numbers of these pests. At the present time it would be difficult to say what amount of damage is done yearly in Ohio alone by these insects, but amounts to a very large sum 1 his, very farm knows by his own bitter experience. M 40 M 9f John Hancock was not originally elected as a delegate to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, The illness of James Howdoia't wife compelled Bowdoin to remain at home, and Hancock was elected as his sulstitute. To this trifling circum stance Hancock is indebted for the proud distinction he ban gained of having his name eniolled where all the world may read it foremost on the roll of independence. What are you writing such a big hand for, Pat?" "Why you see that my grandmother is dafe, and I'm writing a loud letther to her." The man who always leaves church before the service is over, in speaking of an 'ancient" single lady, said she was "fearfully and wonderfully maid." A gentleman who recently put up at a log tavern in Wisconsin, was awakened by a voung man, who commenced a serenade thus : 4-Oh, Sally Rice, I've called you twice, And yet you lie and snore! I pray you wake, And see your .lake, Ar.d oje to him the door, or winder, I don't care much which, for It makes but little difference To either you or I Kg pig, little pig, li.jot hog, or die!" Wh t we Eat. The Rochester Demo crat chronicles th arrest of a butcher in that eitv for blowing meat. "And what is blowing meat.'" inquires a friend at our I elbow. It i thus described : "The process consists in inserting a hollow lube, such as a quill or pipe-stem, in a quarter of veal or Iamb, and then, with the breath of the operator, inflating the ! fatty nart of the meat to the greatest possible extent. It will at once be seen that while this process may ail to me attractiveness of the appearance of the meat, it can scarcely improve its flavor or quality Fancy a man whose breath is a compound of the fumes of tobacco and whisky, with the addition, perhaps, of partially decayed teeth, filling a nice quarter of lamb with uc!i a villainous stencil, and who would knowingly buy or eat the meat afterwards?"
