THE FLIGHT OF TIME.
BY ALEXANDER SMART,
Why flies t'e time so fast ?
Daye, months, und vears glide by,
And euch tooks shorter than the last,
And swifter seems to fly ;
On viewless wing still rushing on,
To join the flight of nges gone,
Their silent course they ply.
It scemed, when we wers viung,
Tune hingered on the way,
Fair hope, like any svren, sung
The live-long summer day—
Oh ! sweetly sung of promised bliss,
Too bright i-v such w world as this-—=
Too heautifi! to say,
And then the winter night,
No hively and so long,
When round the fireside, blazing bright,
Went merriment and song ;
Long were the hours —for we were then
Lmpatient to be happy men,
And joiu the busy throng,
Hope's radiance in the heart,
In vouth supremely blest,
Cau trnsitory | oys imparts,
The bright <1 and the hest,
The sof I:fe come all too soon ;
And why shionld clonds obsenre the moon
That warms the vouthful breast ?
When life's voung dream is o'er,
And fanc: s fives decay,
And hope’s illusions charm no more,
Nor chade the Lingsring day ;
Then Time sweeps n with winged speed,
Or, Like o thief, with noiseless tread
Bleal all our years away.
Fled like a dream’s the past,
The joyous banquet o’er,
Qur longing looks we backwark cast,
And thiok on daysof yore.
Brood o’er each scene in joy or woe.
Till we grow old—=befure we know
That we nre young no more.
THE SKYLARK.
BY JAMEBS HOGU
Rird of the wilderness,
Blithesome and cumberless,
Sweet be thy matin o’er the moorland and lea!
Ewblem of happiness,
Blest in thy dwelling-place—
And to übide in the desert with thee !
Wild s thy lay and loud,
Far in the downy cloud,
Love gives it energy, love gave it birth.
Where, on thy dewy wing,
Where art thou journeying ?
Thy lay is in Heaven,thy love is on earth.
O'er fell and mountain sheen,
O'er moon and monn‘am green,
O’er the red streamer that heralds the day,
Over the clondlet dim, .
Over the rainbow’s rnim,
Musical cherub, soar, singiug away !
Then, when the gloaming comes,
Low in the heathers blooms,
Sweel will thy welcome and bed of love be !
Emblem of happiiicss
Bles: 15 thy dwelling-place—
Oh to abide 1n the desert with thee !

THE GAINER AND THE LOSER.
*What have you got there husband? gaid
Mrs. Courtland to her thrifiy and careful

‘I wanaged that. Tt ain't every one that

“*Buthow did you manage it dear? | should

the sofa look filly per cont worse than it reaj

‘Filteeu dollars ! filteen doMars ! only fifieen

‘T'wenty dollars " said I, *and that's as much

The other bidder was deceived by this asto
the real value of the sofa, for it did look
dreadfully disfigured by the dust and dirt, and
consequently the sofa was knacked off 1o me.'
“That was admirably done, indeed!' said
Mrs. Courtland, with a bland smile of satis
faction at haviog obtaioed the elegant piece
of furniture, at so clieap a vate. ‘And it is
80 near a wateh for the sofa in ourfront par

This scene occurred at the residence of a
werchant of this eity, who was begiuning to
count his fil'y thousand. Let us look on the
other side of the picture.
On the day previous to this sale, a widow
lady with one daughter, a beautiful and inter
esting girl about seventeen, were seated on a
sofa in a neatly furoishied paddor i sludson
otrect. Tlhe wother held w ker hand a small
piece of paper, on which her eyes were in
tently fixed ; butit could be readily perceived
that she saw not the characters which were
written upon it.

‘ Florence rolled up the bills the were given

‘lt only brought eighteen doMars and sixty

mother'slap, and bursting iete tears,
l ‘Heaven only knows then, what we really
shall do." said the widow, clasping her hands
together and looking vpwards,
‘Long and avxious waa the engsaltation be

to the room. Briefly her and tale was 10ld,
and the roil of Baok promwes were laid on
the table. Glancing at them, the brow
of the landlord darkened as he muttered—
‘Havre de Graee, every one of them "
*What mean you?" said Florence with a
foreboding of greater ill; added to a cup of
misery and misforivne already filled 1o its

Hevr Youmsewr.—lt is said of the late
John Broomtield, who died receut 1y in Boston,
possessing great wealili, and leaviug lorge leg
acies 1o maoy of our beaevolent iustitutions,
he was always accusiomed to serve bimself.
He had the ability 10 hire others to wait and
tend upon him, and it was aot av arice nor a
viggardly ecouomy that forbade 1. He felt
that man's function here 18 ot 20 be minis
tered unto but to minister.
Quee itissaid that he removed from a ho
tel where he was well accomodat ed. for the
eimple reason that he eould not ca rry his own
wood and water 10 his owa room. He who
can help bimself, hirness his owa horse, shave
his own beard, cut his own wood, black his
own boots, in a word, wait upon himself, is
truly wndependent. Now an iacre.ise of this
disposition to serve ourself is not one of the
vsigns of the time.” The times ave ternbly
vutofjoint, and ought to be corrected. Young
men aud young women are brought up served
I 100 many instances, rather thao (0 serve.

A~ Arr Rerrr.—We were amused, a
few days since, while sitting in a crowd in a

SINGULAR PROCEEDINGS OF THI
SAND WASP,
1o all my observations of the habits of livin
'lhinu. I have never seen anything more cu
rions than the doings of one species of thes
} ammophile—=lovers of sand. 1 have watche
them Jay after day, and houralter hour, 1 m
‘gnnlen. and also on the sandy banks on th
wastes about Esher, in Sarrey, and alway
with unabated wonder. They are about 2
inch long, with orange-colored bodies, an
black heads and wings. T'hey are slender ane
most active, Yousee them on the warm bhor
ders of your garden, or on warm, dry banks, 1
summer, when the sun shines hotly. They
are incessantly and most actively hunting a
bout. "T'hey are inpursuit ofa partienlar gray
spider with a large abdomen, For these they
pursue their chase with a fiery quickness anc
avidity., Thespiders are on the wateh (o seiae
flies ; but here we have the tibles tarned, anc
these are flies onthe wateh to discover and kil
the spiders. These singular insects seem al
velocity and fire, They come flying at a mos
rapid rate, hight down onthe dry soil, and com.
mence an active search. I'he spiders hie un.
der the leaves of plants; and iu hntle dens un.
der the dry hutle ciods. Tnto all these places
the sand-wasp pops his head. He bustles a.
long he¥e and there, lirting his wings, and his
whole body all lte an ! fire. And now he moves
off to a distance, hunts about there, then back
to his first place, beats the old ground carefu!-
ly over, as a pointer heats o field, He search
es carelully round every little knob of earth,
and pops his head ipto every crevice. KEver
and anon, he crouches close among the little
clods as a tiger would crouch for his prey,
He seems to be listening or smelling down ine
to the earth, as if to discover his prey by ev
erysense which he possesses. He goesround
every stalk, and descends into every hollow a
bhout them. When he finds the spider, he des
patches him in a moment, and seizing hinn by
the centre ef his cheet, commences dragging
him off backward, He couveys his prey 1o
aplace of safety. Frequently he carries it up
some inches into a plant, and lodges it among
the green leaves. Seeing him do this, | po
ked his spider down with a stick after he had
leftit s but he speedily returned, and finding
it fullen down, he immeditely carried it up a
gain tothe same place.
Hoaving thus secured his spider, be selects
a particular spot ot varth, the most sunny and
warm, and begins to dig a pit. He works
with all his might, digging up the earth with
his formidable mandibles, and throwing it out
with his feet, as o dog throws out the earth
when sceratching atier o rabbit, Every few
seconds he ascends, tail first, out of his hole,
clears away the earthabout its mouth with his
legs, and spreads it 1o a distance on the sur
face. When he has dug the haole, perhips
two inches deep, he comes forth cagerly, goes
off for hisspider, drags it down from its lodge
ment, and brings it to the mouth of s hole,
He now lets himsell down the hole, tml firse,
and then, putting forth his head, takes the spi
der, and torns it into the most suitable posi
ton for dragging it in.
It must be observed that this hole is made
carcfully of only about the widih of his body,
and therefore the spider cannot be got to it
except lengthwise, and then by stout pulling,
Well, he turns it lengthwise, and seizing it
commencesdragging it in, - At first yon would
imagine this impossible ; but the sind-w sp
1s strong, and the body of the spider is pliable, |
You soon see it disappear. Down into the
cylindricul hole it goes, and anon vou per
ceive the sand-wasp pushing up s black head
beside it and having made his wav out be a
gain sets 1o work, and pushes the spider with
all lnis furee to the bottom of the den.
Aund what is all this for? s the spider Laid
up o his larder for himself 7 No, it is fuod
for bus children. Itas their birth-place, and
thetrsupply of provisious while they are in the |
larva state,
We hase been all alung calling this creature
he, for it has o most mascaline look 3 but it is
i oreadity ashe §atas thefemale sand-wasp,
and allvlis preparation s lor the purpose of
laying bereggs. For thisshe has sougbt and
killed the spider, ana buried ithere. She has
done itall wittingly. She has chosen one par
ticular spider, and that only, for that is the
one pecuhiarly adapted 1o nounish her young,
So here it is sately stored away in her den.
and she now descends, tail fiest, and piercing
the pulpy abdomen of the spider, she leposits
her egg oreggs. That being done, she ¢ ire
fully bLegins filling in the hole with earth,
She rakes it up with her legs and mandibles
and fills in the hole, every now and then turn
g round and going backward into the hole
to stamp dowun the earth with her feet, and to
ram it vewn with her body as a rimmer.
Wheun the hole is nlled, it is curious to ob
serve with what care she levels ihe surface,
and removes surroundiog luinps of earth, lay
ing some first over the tomb of the spider, and
others about, so as to make that place look as
much as possible like the surface all round.
Aud before she has done with it—and she of
ten works for ten minutes at this levelling and
disguising before she is perfectly satisfied—
she makes the place so exactly like all (e
rest of the surfice that it will require goud
eyes and close observation to recoguize it.
She has now doue her part, and Nature
mustdo the rest. She has deposited her eggs
in the body of the spider, and laid that boay
in the most scony spot she can find, She
has laid it so near the surface that the sun will
act on it powerfully, yet deep enough to con
cealat from view. She has, with great art and
anxiety, destroyed all traces of the hole, and
the effect will soon commence. The heat of
the sun will hateh the egg. The larva or
young grub of the sand-wasp, will become a
live, and begin to feed on the pulpy body of
the spider in which it is enveloped. This
food will suffice it till it is ready to emerge to
daylight, and pass through the different sta
ges of its existence. Like the ostrich, the
sand-wasp thus leaves her egg in the sand 1l
the sun hatches it, and baving once buried ir,
most probably never knows herself where 1t is
deposited. It is left to Nature and Provi
dence.— Howill.

male lufirmary, having nsed the above Pills in his
gnvnle practice, for the Ia t twenty five years, and in the
"emale Infirmary under his care, tor the last fifteen, with
such unparalleled success that he feels in duty bound to
let the world, a.d especially the female partof ity have the
benefit of his research and experience, ot B
The number of Females admitted annually from differ
ent parts of the kingdom into the infirmary, are about three
thousand, all laboring under obstruction, suppression,
green sickness, or some irregulirity, as ma: he seen by the
annual reports of the Institution, ‘They have likelise been
extensively used throughonut the United States for the last
thirteen years with the same astonishing eflect,
In every instance have the pills proved successful. The
pills invariably open those obstructicns to which females
are lable, and bring nature into its proper channel, where
by hiealth is restored, and the pale and deathly counte
nance, changed to a healthy one.
