It is a known fact that nearly everything in nature likes music; snakes have danced t.o it, mice have come from their holes nnd listened with rapt attention, nml even bugs nro not insensible. 'Ve call the doodle bugs up any time we have a mind, said some In tie gir's 'lo me one day when I wa teaehinir school in Western Virg.nia , ''Doodle bugs?" said I, "I never I. - 1 L. .L! ,t iiearii oi such minus. "Would you like to see them?" RSKt'u one. "Most assuredly." I answered. Then the little girls led me forth to t lie ruins ot an old log school house, roofless, iloorless. and, joining hands, l hey squalled upon ihe t'lound, form lug u ring, and began chant im: iu the most musical tones they could com mnnd: " Uncle Doodle. Uncle Doodle. Un cle Hoodie Buns" I looked on in astonishment, for I con M see nothing but hard baked a.. ... earin. mere seemed not a living thing visible; but the children kepi up their chant some three or lour minutes, when I noticed thu ground began to heave in little spots and tiny heads peeped out, soon followed ny halt or the whole body ol a dirt colored beetle. When the children stopped sincins: the little things suunpered back ini their Itolcs. This sli uck me as very singular But then we are uoustnuily meciiiii; with Bt range I hums in But'dom It is like fairy laud it wo oniy become interested. I hoe are manv, many kinds ol beell s o iled coleopterous insccis, because they have wing cases; lhat is, they' haye shells or cases on their hacks, under which thev old their wings, Rome kinds using them so very seldom thai we would never know that ihey had wings. A great many live under the ground, uud others on ihe trees, flowers and grain. Indeed, there is scarce a place where you may nol find ihtm. All of von knew lhat the ugly cat erpillar becomes a butteifl v, bill some of you may nol know thai near y very worm you can nnd turns out some day lo be a creature w ith wings. Almost every child who has live ) in the country has noticed, and per haps been very much amused with the Bill Clu ler, or Tumble Bug, as we call il here iu New Jersey. Mow ihey seem to be playing with mar tiles rioht in tlio middle ot I In road on hot, dusty days! How they push and lumble, and get their jackets all lusty in their ettortsl sometimes it takes two or three beetles to toll their ball up an elevation or over some iinpe iment in the way. Did you never, wonder what nil such work meant, or did vnu sup pose it was just the way those bugs have ot amusing themeselves ? Jut alter I became older I begun to won ler where the bugs got the balls, whal they where made o', and Wiiai they were going to do with them. I uve since found it out, and u is all cry interesting. They make the balls out of the ex cretions of animals, in which they de- osit an e''g, hating it in the sun until il is baked almost as hard as u marble; then begins their work. Tl.ey toil a d snuggle until they get the ti:i. Is three (eel under ground. Then I he iii tic one is left in iis spherical home from early September until the next Spring, as warm and cosy as you please, growing larger and larger until H bursts Iroin iis shell, a bltle worm wiib si t legs, and creeps, up to I he sui lace ot the ".round ; or, assume say, they remain in me nans uuni ihey become chrysalids, and come ut tectles or tumble bugs, ready lo begin tumbling and pushing like their mothers before I hem. The use of long words widen we gel from other tongues not only makes our thoughts and our speech dim and hazy, but it has done somewhat to harm ihe morals o our people. Crime does not sometimes look like crime when il is set belore us in the many folds of long word. When a man steals and we call it 'Mefalci lion." we are at a loss to know if ii is a blunder or a crime. Il he docs not u-ll the truth and we are tol l lli.it il is a cae ol prevarication il lakes ns some time t know just what we should tbink of it. No man will ever cheat himself into wrong doing, nor will he be at a hrss to jinlge of others, il lie thinks and s pinks of acis in clear, crisp English terms. Ilora tio Ikymour. A woman will lace a lrowninr world and cling to the man she loves through the most bitter adversity, hut she would't wear a hat three weeks behind ihe style to save the eovernment. Tl. t unnU r. tuvinrr a arm time over the daoce bouse Buisaoce- Coercing Toters, The death of Mr. Benjamin Weeks, nt Portsmouth, recently, recall an an ecdo e wherein was imputed lo him ihe first at tempt to coerce voters. Ho was the superintendent ot a body of men if nol of all at the Ports mouth Navy Yard, many yeais ago, and shortly previous lo ihe election of Jackson, second term, he got the men together and told them thai he expected every man ol them to vote as ho did; and further, thai if they did not ihey should be discharged. He was noted as a jok-r, and they looked in Ins tace to see it tin y could detect a joke in this ; lint he was ns serious as ihe the old JNoiili burying grctiud. They discussed the matter among themselves, and worked them selves tip lo a fever heat about il lull meeting atier meeting, passetl lesolulions o indignation, as is eiisto mary with the sons of tieci'om, set iling down w III the deUiminuiioii thai they'd be d irs t ied .r diawn and qualified before they'd submit; but thought il best licluie Ihey did their worst, to call upon iheir tyrant to get the precise fads in ihu case, and leal ii it hesiuck lo bis ni si prop ositiou. They accordingly wailed upon him, by comiiiitiee, suit asked him it hi was serious in what he bad told them Never more so, he informed them; and repealed wi.al he nnd said, lay ing particular stress upon the pen ally for their refusing to eo,ply. Hie commiiiee returned with their report, when the caldion boiled right over, niiil resolution hardened Into purpose to resist to the bitter end, tliouuh resistance might lie striking their fist against n stone wall stand ing iu I heir way. They, went to their work surlily, and Ib'oiuhl of nothing else bill the impending election and i ho invasion o their rights. The superintendent, from being a great favorite, had tailed in their esiimaiiou till Nt-rn was an nngel by comparison, And row they tormed a dciermiun tion to call upon him in a body and endeavored to overawe him by the moral force ol numbers. Lei him look them in the eye, if be could, and then bid them vote any other way, I lieu they as American freeman should leolile lor themselves. J hey would see how he could stand this! So they went, and ho calmly looked unoii their lices; and iu leply to iln ir ques tion (reptnted) regarding his I yuan nical requirement, that he had not changed his determination, but thai if they voted ditf. rem ly from whal he lid, out they should go. litis was a crusher; when one of he spokesmen remiistr.tied saving il was deemed hard thai men tree men should be served in this way, and by a man, too, whom ihev hid so long respected, and com lieied by regretting dial ihey must p.irl, as ihey had ageed lo go together. Af ler a brief conference among them selv- s, one of the weak ones, who had u t said a word, whispered, "Ask hit how he is going to vote: "Well, sir," asked the leader, "how are you g iog to vole, as we want to know all about u r "I am loiirg to vole jus4 a$ Idtirned please" replied he, "and il yon don'i it the famu I II discharire you." As soon as they could take in his meaning, ami tw that ihey had been pleasant ty humbugged, his own broad are beaming on I hem will) a luiinv triumph, ihey gave him ilnee cheers, and, when elciilion day came round, il was laughingly said among them lhat they were going to vole as bo.s d, and they went almost to a man for Old Hickory, I Ins is the hist instance of navy yard influence iu politics. Suvcd by a JIulc A very interesting incident oc curred at a recent railroad accident on the l'in slung and Fort Wavne railroad at Lakeville, Ohio. Standing between two of the cars which were oaded wiih horses and mules, was brakemau. He went down wilhthe wreck, becoming fastened between the oars under ten feel of water. II s weak si niggles lo release hiuo-ell were iek-s, and he concluded that iu a lew short seconds nil would be over. The mules had been kicking in the car, and suddenly he fell Ihe end boar', give way. Then be received a tremendous kick on the tbiofi which sent him out of his perilous position lo the top of tlio water. Here he spluttered about until a while mule rose up and struck out lor the shore. Then the brakemau grasped I lie ani mal's tail and was safely carried to laud. Somehow, we e-tn' help thinking that even in our brief experience, we have heard new political" parlies start out as usily rnd noisily as ihe nation al labor party, and pa to their re ward wiihoiit electing president, or consuming ihe great natural arteries !0' commerce as with a devouring 1 conflagration. Judging by Appearances. . When Maine was a district of Mas sachusetts, Ezekiel Whitman was chosen lo represent the district in tlio Massachusetts Legislature. He was an eccentric man, and one of the best lawyers of bis time. He owned a farm, and did much work on bis laud; and when the lime came for him to set out for Boston his best sun of clothes was a suit of homespun. Ilia wife objected to his going in lhat each, but bo did nol care. "I will get a nice suit in ado as soon as I reach Boston," lie said. Ke.vhing his destination, Whitman lonnl rest ut Doolitlle's city tavern. Let il be understood that he was a graduate of Harvard, and at this tav ern be was at home. Ai lie entered the phrlor ot the house he found set eral ladies and gentlemen i ssembled, and he heard the following remark trotn one of them: "Ah, here comes a countryman of the real home.'puu genus. Here's fun." Whitman stared ut ihu company and then sat down. Say, my fiieiid, ore you from the country?" remarked one of the gen tlemen. Ya-as," answered Ezekiel with a ludicrous twist ol'lhe lace. "And what do you think of out city ?" asked one of the ladies. "It'sapooty ihickly set lied place any how. Its got a sweeping sight of hous'n in it. "And a good many people, loo." "Ya-as, 1 should guess so." Many people where you corao from?" Will, some." "Plenty of ladies, I suppose?" "Ya-as. a fair spriuklin ." ''And I don't doubt that you ore quite a beau among: them." " I es, l tieaus em home, tew meet.n , and singin' skewl." "PerliaDS the irentleman from tho country will take a glass of wine?" "Thank'et. Don't keer if I do." 'The wine was brought. "You must drink a toast." "O irit eoutl I eat toast, never heard ot audi a thing as drinkiii' it. Bm I can give you a sentiment. The ladies clnppe I their hands; but what was their surprise when tho stranger, rising, spoke calmly and ulearly as follows: "Ladies and gent Invm, permit ine to wish you health and happiness, with every blessing earth can afford; Mini may you grow better uud wiser hi advancing years, bearing ever in mind that outward appearances are deceitful. You mistook me, from my Iress, for a country booby, while I, from the same suueirieml cause, thought von were ladies and gentle men. The mistake has been mutual He hid just fir.ished, when Caleb Strong, Governor of tho Stste, en tered and inquired for Whitman. 'Ah, here 1 am Uoveriior. ulad to see you. Then turning to the dumbfounded company, he said: "l wish you a very good evening." The Lore to be Proud Of. The only love which la worth esti mating, and being proud of, is the love ol a woman who has had lovers. 'im... i -a : ui :.. t..M t. I iiv mm ui a vviiiiu kiii in ut-i ill- uoranoe is rather lor the sex than lor the individual. The young girl loves on, perhaps, because you are nn agreeable nvn, or rather because you are the first man who nhikcs loyu to her; or still rather, and more simply, because you are a man she is a wo man. The woman who has had loveis and who can compare, who- has not a lauiitsiiu image upon her retina w hich fixes itself like a mask upon ihe first man she r 'gards, adorning him with a charm which he fas not ibis woman loves you because vou, are you, and because she is she, Tho love ol the first is the attraction ot one sex for the other; had not she would necessarily have loved another. This love is li e satisfaction ot a n ed: the young girl loves you as she loves the woter which slakes ber thirst, even if it be muddy and diagreealde. The love of the second is the love of ihe individual. It she had not met you il is possible lhat she might nol iiavj loved another; she lovis you as she leves wine, which oi:e choose from a hundred others and which one' drinks, not lor thirst, but because it is grateful to the taste. Alphonst Cura. After the nomination of llsyes and Wheeler, pictures of the eandidati B were published. Mr. Wheeler, re eeived, a day r two after his nomi nation, a letter inclosing a cut of him taken Irom a Cb'n azo paper. The writer said : "William A. Wheel er, Eq. Sir: I don't know yon. but it yon look like this picture, for God's sake decline. Yours truly." When Fremont was nocinated in ISoG tho Tribune printed a picture 'of tho "Pathfinder," which looked like a pirate expecting to be hung in ten minutes. He said that pictarecost him 20,000 fotea.
