Th" wisdom and care with wh h Na.ne his ?o tflectually provide." against the txu ict.on of entire races, o tribes of inimals ar:d insects, by anune-riog adaptation of he instincts peculiar to each tribe, to the porj etnatiun of its species, is l erhaps, u where more conepiciops, than in the lana n the bot-fly. That oots 1,1 horses, plotted from the eggs or nits of a fly somwhut resembling a bee in appearance and manners, has been a subject of traditionary belief; but, by what way and mean, these eggs have found a pas sage ujto the stomach of the horse, has, we tieheve, tdl recently been a matter of con jecture. This insect deposits its eggs cn those parts of the horse more immediately within reach of his mouth ; ami attaches each so stiongly to a single hair, (thouyh 111 tlu uvst -xpo-ed situations on tile legs and near the feet.) that thev are eecuicd I'n m accident, by '-lood and by fielJ' auJ tbere reraaio, and axe c-urifd

When the tarhed from their place of deposit. Vet greasy substance is removed, to restore after all this, such is the wonderful ecooo-!the paper to its former whiteness, dip anmy of jVature, in relation to this insect, j other brush in highly rectified spirit of that the moment the horse brings his warm 1 wine, and draw it in like manner, over the soft lip wet with saliva, in actual contact ! place ; and particularly around the edges, with the eggs thus attached to his hair, j to remove the border that would still pre they are instantly hatched, become living! sent a tain. If the process has been em-

grubs, and enter the mouth of the horse ; and though not more than a fourth of a line in length, they are exceedingly vigor ous, and move about with great activity in the saliva of the horse's mouth, and with it descend into the stomach ; and there remain attached to its inner coat, in form of the hot grub, until, if their number be suOjicient, thev destroy the life of the animal ; or otherwise, till the June following, when they relinquish their hold, and are deposited n the dunghill ; and being transformed, soon appear in the form of the Ik t-fly, prepared again to renew their perpetual round of depredations, on this most noble of cur domestic animals. That the above is not at all theory, and nothing else, may be satisfactorily de monsti aleil by the following simp'e and easy experiment. Let any one after holding his hand for a few seconds in 1 vessel of warm water, of a temperature a very little above blood heat, immediately pass it gently and slowly over the egg", or nits of the bot fly, which at this season of the year, frequently covet l uge spaces on the tore legs, an i about the breast of the horse ; at the same time pressing them gentle for a se. com! or two : and he will find on close examination, the living grub in great nu'ii' ers, and though minute, yet visible to the naked eye, moving rapidly and vigorously, through the water remitting on his hand. We have seen this experiment tried, an ' have given simply, the process and its result I.v this experiment, so far as respects ourselves, certainly new liht has been thrown on the habits and instinct of'iis family of insects ; ami, if it result not iu the stomach of the horse, after they have taken possession, it may do more ; it may furmh the means of preventirj their entrance there. We are indebted to one of our patron3, a gentlemen if much observation and intelligence in things useful, residing in Salem, N Y. for the information which led to the above experiment ; as well as for the following recipe, for preveutin hots in horses, which is deduced from it. He eavs ; "Socn after the bot-fly commences detive ot the hots in horses1 And we ee no reason whv it mav not be effectual : as by this means, the grub is hatched out, and immediately perishes, tor want of that warmth and nourishment, provided for it by Nature, in the stomach of the horse. HOW TO CHF.AT T1!C MOON . Some farmers are very careful to eow their spring crops and gardens at a proper time of the moon, and thus frequently anticipate, or pass over the het ?eason of the year. I5y attending to the following directions, they will escape all the incon venience arising from the influence of the moon. Select some fair day, as near the usual thr.e of scwin? as possible rise ve-v ear- , .1, k ninrninnf inr onto on r e rwwl ly. Cover all up carefully before night, making the land appear smouf., ami even. When the mooa cornea on .he next evening, she will not be able to determine whether the field has been sown or not, and will therefore bestow no influence upon it, either bad or good. It is important that the land be ilnroughly dried, 30 that it can be made to appear natural. Whenever wheat tu :n to chess, it is (.003 by the influence of the moon. B) attending to the above directions, soxinr clean seed, that evil may also be avoided. Geneste Farmer. To Clean Black Silks. To bullock's gall, add boiling water sufficient to make it warm, aad with a clean sponge, rub the silk well on both sides, squeeze it well out and proceed again in like manner. Rinse it in spring water, and change the water till perfectly clean, dry it in the air, and pin it out on a table; but first dip the snoDPC in rrluewater, and tub it on the w rong side; then dry it belore a tire. 7 a Remove Grease Spots from Paper. Let the paper stained with grease, wax, oil, or any other fat body, be gently warmed, taking out as much as possible of it, by Notting paper. Dip a small brush in the essential oil of well rectified spirits of turpentine, heated almost to ebullition, (for when cold it acts very weakly;) and dnm ii gently over both sides of the paper, which must he carefully kept warm. Let this pt("-:w hf repeated a? many

Hugs, in particular, may readily be de stroyed by dissolving half a drachm of corrosive sublimate, in a quarter of an ounce of spirit of salts, mixing it with en? quart of spirit of turpentine: shake these well together, dip a brush in it, and w ash those places where bugs are srpposed to resort: this will remove them ti a greater certainty than auy other mode uow pracj titsed.

It is the very time to recombine the wondeiingirj4ages, which night in a confused mass presented ; to snatch them .rcai forgetful ness ; and to soape and aiould them. Some people have uo good of their dream3. Like fast feeders, they gulp them too grossly, to taste them cuiiously. We love to chew the cud of foregone vision ; to col lect the scattered rays of a brighter fantasm. or act over asrain, with firmer nerves, the sadder nocturnal tragedies ; to drag into daylight a struggling and halfvanishing nightmare ; to handle and examine the terrors, or the airy solaces. We have too much respect for these spirit ual communications, to let them go so lightly. We are not so stupid, or so careless, as that imperial foretler of his dream3, that we fhoiild need a seer to remind ih of the form of them. They seem lo us to have a much significance as our waking concerns ; or rather to import us morn ncailv. as more nearly we appro ich

Why should we get up? we have neither suit to solicit, nor affairs to manage The drama has shut in upon us at the fourth act. We have nothing here to expect, but in a short time a sick bed and a dismissal. We delight to anticipate death by such shadows as the night affords. We are already half acquainted with ghosts. We were never much in the woild. Disappointment early struck a dark veil between us and its dazzling illusions Our spirits showed gray before our hairs.

The skivpity-nippitydiop step is usually met with among half-bred, Su iday-dressed bucks. It is a smirking, lippity-Ioppity motion.

It is amusing to see two jostlers i r ... dancing oetore eacti otner at cross purpa es, right and left, begging pardon each time for the unfortunate interruption they occasion each other. The step accidental is when you have been walking, say a la wriggle, tip'e, or hold-up and suddenly meet a crony w" i tells you, with a shining face, pinched eyes, and an affectionate twang of speech how "handsome your gold chain is," or what ;'a devilish good orator you proved yourself at the club last night." On parting, the step accidental is sure to convey your person to its destination with a swinging of the body, nodding the head, humming "lal lal la! lal," and swaggering with the feet. The step delicate, one would imagine, belonged only lovers and ladies. Jt is not so. There ia such a creature in the fashionable world as a dandy ; a thing ol perfume and nonsense, which can step as delicately a3 a tortoise shed tabbv. A

ball-room suit and pumps are the life and

soul ot tuts very pretty step. The step pompous is that of a man w ho has written a noisy article in a paper or a magazine, who has made a public speech said some silly, good thing, or struck a hard driven bargain in business. You are led to imagine their bodies have acquired actual ponderosity by the transaction. Such a heaving up of each side, such a parade with the legs, and such action in the very placing of a stick or umbrella under the arm is highly diverting to every peripatetic phihsopher. The dead march is a very unique species of walking ; the head, body, and arms are held deathly still, the eyes stare straight forward and the creature advances his corpus by the action of legs only. , Liverpool Albion PA Ii ENT A L K ESPONS1 P.ILITY.

It is impossible to educate a child without carrying on simultaneously a process of self improvement, w hich is its own reward, but the trouble, the time, the restraint and confinement, the mental' effort are greater than enter into romantic anticipations, and hence the disappointment which often leads those who have began a system of education to grow weary in well doing The promise ap plies tr this sort of serv ce, a well as to others: "In due time ye r-ha.i reap if tc faint nit."
