Hums!! Tuade AVith -run United
Statkh, Tho Treasury Dopartment has
just received from Loudon a copy of a
document relating to trade with the
United States, made in reply to a parlia
mentary inquiry by tlio Houso of Lords,
on tlio" 1st of April, 1S71), which called
for a statement of tho trade of tho United
Kingdom with the United Stntes. This
parliamentary document reveals, in a
very striking way, the fact of the con
stantly increasing exports from United
States to Great liritain, and of tho
rapidly decreasing exports front Groat
liritain to the United States. Our sta
tistics for tho fiscal year ended Juno 30,
1870, show that our total oxports of mer
chandise and specie to Great liritain,
amounted to $:S(:),013,(tO, whilo our to
tal imports for the same period amounted
to only Slll,W71"W'i l',inK ftU excess of
exports over imports of 8251,01 1,880.
In othor words, our exports to Groat
liritain wero more than throe times the
amount of importations from that coun
try. Tho parliamentary deeuinont pre
sents a doleful account of tho decline of
Hritish exportation, and shows that
Great liritain, year by year, appears to
become more dependont upon tho United
States. In the one artiolo of animals,
oxen and bulls, tho importations into tho
United Kingdom from the United States
had increased in value from about SCO,
(MX) in 1873, to nearly $0,000,000 in 1878.

It was just after tho roses had done
blowing. They wero all Hitting by twi
light in tho yellow drawing-room some
how it nlways seemed twilight longer
there when it was dark evcrvwliero else
and Kosamonri got up and stirred her
pot-pourri in the old claret-colored Chel
sea jar between the windows; ami such a
Hweet faint odor of rose-leaves stole
through the room that tho old people felt
as if they wero young and tho time was
June again.
"It is too powerful." Baid Miss FJliinr-
ham, waving her big peacock-feather fan.
"Too powerful?" said Mrs. Penn, put
ting away tho silver curl that the neigh
boring fan brushed into her still soft
brown eyes. "Not for me. Nothing is
ho pleasant to me as tho pot-pourri, ami
in tho old jar, too. It in not the rose,
but it Ih tho memory of the rose. It
brings back all my youth. And although
age is pleasant enough as it comes to me,
yot youth was so very sweet so very
sweet, my dear," and" tho silver voice
paused, while a slender hand went
searching through the purple gloom for
another old hand, and found it the hand
of tho speaker's husband. "Peopie think
it so sad to grow old," hIio said. "Hut
every year has been to mo liko another
step on an upward path to paradise.
One's wings aro growing all the way.
And one has so much to remember, to
look bock on when one pauses, to seo in
now lights. Do you suppose that either
of us would change places with Rosa
mond and Heltran thero, who have life
before them?"
"Not I,"said the voice that responded.
"Not that you would not be giad to
live your seventy summers over again,
Paul?"
"I am sure of that now, at any rate,"
said the husband. "I have them" Noth
ing can take them away from us."
"And we ask nothing more," sho said,
"thau to lw laid in the same grave when
the long night comes."
"And the endless morning," he mur
mured. "And even that endless morning can
hardly bo brighter than homo of tho
mornings of our youth than the morn
ing when wo first made the pot-pourri,
Paul. You rememler that momin,
raw?
"Do you remember it, Aunt Persia?"
asked Rosamond.
"Shall I ever forget it?" sho said, with
a low sweet laugh. "Why, when I am
dead, remembrance of that morning will
bloom out of my grave like a ilowerl
And yet it was much such a morning as
any (lay's last month only so glorious,
so gilded, so full of sunshiue! Hut what
a gray 5ud lowering, showering dawn it
had! If we had never had tlwt little
quarrel, Paul. Ah! I was so sad when
I parted the curtains that daybreak. I
thought I was done with life and it was
a pity I so young."
Hero Rosamond pinched Reltran's arm.
"So voting. And might have been so
blessed," said her Aunt Persia. "If I
gave, that morning, just the swiftest
glance across that gardon to Paul's win
dow, and saw that ho sat there over his
book, ho could not tell. And then I
dressed mo; and I thought of some young
girl being dressed for her grave." And
then I pinned up my white frock a la
lareime, you call it now, Rosamond and
went down to the rose-garden to pick tho
Mowers with the dew on them for the pot
pourri that grandmamma had bidden me
novor to forget in the time of roses."
" 'It was the timo of roses,
Ve plucked them nsw'o went,'"
sang Beltraii, half under his breath.
"And I plucked them till the basket
on my arm was heaped. The roso-garden
was just as it is to-dav, on a terrace
higher than the rest of the garden. And
when I turned about I saw Paul had
come, down, and was walking in the pop
lar alley of his grandfather's garden,
bare-hoaded, with his head fallen on his
breast. Ah, how beautiful ho was! so
tall, so dark, so liko a fallen btar. And
I loved him so; and we had quarroled. I
had been miserable just forty-eight
hours. It seemed to me that I had never
been happy. I had lost my youth; I was
old; I had como into tho shadow. There
was another young girl," sho said, after
a momont's pause, as if oven the sorrows
of youth had their sweetness that it was
good now to remember, "that Paul's
grandfather had chosen for him to
marry. I may speak about it now, I
suppose; sho long since ceased to care;
she was, sho is, my dearest friend, and
Paul has always loved her as a brother.
She has hod many suitors since; with one
of thorn she plighted faith, and so sho
kept her tntst with death. Rut I I
thought that because I adored Paul, all
tho world was at his feet; and when his
grandfather said this other was to be his
choice, with hor great fortuno at com
mand, and I remembered that I had only
this old house and its belongings for niv
own fortune, why, then I looked weil
nftor my lover. Yes, ho was my lovor.
I had felt sure of that, although ho had
never said so, never exactly said so in
words; but wo do not nlways'need words.
And now, all at once, all in a twinkling,
as if the sun had gono oitt at noon, he
was tho lovor of another girl. And I
could not have believed or dreamed that
the fortune would have mado any differ
ence with Paul, or tho grandfather's
wish, or heaven's thunder-bolts even, be
fore I saw it myself. 1 saw it myself. I
Haw him go and turn tho music as sho
played upon tho harp, and bend over it
with the color on his cheek, and an an
gry tiro in his eve when the eyo foil
nsKitnco on mo, I saw him lift hor from
her saddle at tho gate, just down tho
street, and go in with her, and stay till,
an hour afterward, a groom came and
ied tho horses oft', I saw him
loitering with her in the lane,
but thoy did not know I saw, nud
I heard liis miserable old grandfather
como hobbling np our steps, rubbing his
hard hands and talking to my father of
Paul's lucky hit. And so I knew- that he
hod forsaken mo mo, tho child that had
worshipped him from tho oradio, And I
meant to die as soon as I could; but in
the meantime, if it killed mo itself to
hido it, thoy should novor know I cared.
Yot I was not angry; iu some way, bouio
htrango way, it was Paul who was angry,
who would not speak to mo, would not
glanco at me, would not 'come near mo,
said sharp and bitter, almost insolent,
things iu my probonco, und scorned to
try to hurt me nil ho could, It was not,
in his manner, as if ho had found somo
ouo still dearer to him than I, but as if
ho hated mo, I thought, for just existing
now. Ah, well, it broke my heart! And
as I gathered those roses that morning I
remembered tliat wo had been going to
make grandmamma's pot-pourri togeth
er. Hut I gathered them with my back
turned to that garden across tho high
box hedgo, and the dew on those roses
was salt. John, the old house-servant,
(he has been dead and gono this many n
year), camo lugging out tho big Chelsea
jar tho same jar, Rosamond. It has
never had a nick. I wonder if you can
say as much for it after half a eenturyl
John left it, with the spico boxes and the
dish of salt, on the marble step, to be
handy for me, nnd I legan to shred tho
roses into it. And as I scattered tho
velvet petals, it swept over mo in a surge
that just so tho datfs of my lifo had
gone, and I too was a withered flower;
and as I knelt before the jar, all at once
ray arms fell across it, and my head fell
between them, and I was crying such a
storm of sobs that I wonder no ono heard
me. But some one did hear. Directly
a shadow fell between mo and the snn
shino, and u voice mado my heart stand
still and my sobs cease.
" 'What does it mean?' cried Paul. 'I
demand to know. I will have no more
of this. "What are you unhappy about?
Because you have abused me, because
you have outraged all nvy feelings, be
cause yon have refnscd even to answer
my letter '
" 'What what letter?' I stammered,
throwing back my head, with tho tears
streaming all over my face.
"'What letter!' he cried. 'Are you
playing with me still? Hnvo yon received
no letter from me no letter that I gave
John? Do you pretend to say '
'"I pretend to say nothing, I returned ,
in a storm and furry of irrepressible
tears, springing to my feet, and starting
to run away nnd hido my face out of
sight, and pray that every fresh flood of
tears might drown out my very being
'I pretend to say nothing but that you
have broken my heart.'
"But he had caught me, and he held
mo by the arm, and got my hands and
kept "them, and would not let me hide
my face.
" 'I have broken yonr heart?' he said,
in such a gravo and tender voice. 'I
have not broken your sjiirit. Tell me
why yon spurned my letter.'
" 'I I never had yonrletter.'Isobbed.
" 'Never had a letter telling you
telling you all you knew without it, bnt
assuring you that, grandiatner or no
grandfather, only you should bo my
wife; nnd if not yon, then no one?
AVhat, never had that letter, little ono ?
It is mislaid, then, and we have had all
this miser' for nothing we who wor
ship each other.' And and well,
never mind about tho rest. There was
nobody to seo us two young creatur.es
standing in the garden as the first young
lovers did. I don't know that wo should
havo cared if thero had been. And all in
a breath, ns if the earth had rolled round
under a new heaven, the snn seemed to
bo shining as it never shone before, the
birds to be singing, flowers were fnll of
lifo and fragrance, the world was the
most beautiful place, and we were on
our knees, shredding roses together over
the old pot-pourri jar, and the garden
ringing with onr laughter. And every
once in a whilo Paul was. lifting my chin
with his finger to make me look htm iu
the face with my eyes that all at once
dared not, and saying rav uo'uth was the
sweetest rose of them all ah, yes, you
did, Paul and then ho was plunging his
hand into the jar to stir the petals. And
suddenly his fingers were touching some
thing liko no heap of rose leaves, and ho
was bringing up a paper, a letter that
very letter he had given John jttbt as the
oldfellow was coming in from emptying
the jar of last year's leaves and spices;
and lio had dropped it thero and forgot
ten it. John is so forgetful I mean, of
course, ho was. Ah mo! what a day that
was! We trod on air, wo walked in the
mid-heavens. Havo you gono sound
asleep, Paul ? To bo sure. And Rosa
mond, if you want that other rulo for
pot-pourri the English, you know, call
it hotch-potch Ah, what niusio that is !" I
and sho paused to listen. (

Wisdom of Insects.
Prof. J. W. Draper, In his Treatiso on
Physiology, describes tho genius of ani
mals in the following eloquent passsgo,
which wo transcribe in full :
"Insects form societies for mutual assis
tance, defence, invasion, emigration, tnero
1 pleasure societies which undoubtedly
arise Iu the experience of passions, such
as love and four. Of these the duration
is variable; some last through the larva
state only, somo nro confined to tho
imago, some arc maintained through lifo.
The organization by which their object
is accomplished is various, monarchical,
epublicau. The caterpillars of the pro
cesslonary moths are guided In their
march by a leader; the termites obey at
once a king and a queen. The lust of
power is not alone felt among human
monarcliF; tho queen bee never rests till
she Innavussinuted her rival. All insects
of the CHmo kind are not born equal, nor
do all pursue the same occupation; somo
follow a life of leisure, some devote them
selves to tho profession of arms, some are
laborers. When the metropolis of tho
termites is attacked, the laborers, us non
combatants, retire, but the soldiers como
out. The ants, with which we are more
familiar, engage in military and filibus
tering expeditions; they make reconnois
sauces, set sentinels, march in a definite
order, the van alternately falling to tho
rear; their lines of communication are
maintained, and, if nsccssary, swift
couriers are dispatched for re-enforcements.
If successful, they not only carry
off their enemies' stores, but reduce the
vanquished to actual servitude, compelling
them to work as slaves. They have no
tions of property, nnd though some of
them practice cannibalism, they will
amuse themselves in more pleasant occu
pations, tumbling and playing together
liko kittens or puppies. .With a senti
ment of strict justice, the wasp who
has returned from a successful foray di
vides his booty among the males, females
and the laborers who have been working
iu the vespiary; nor is the sentinel, who
is doing duty at the door, forgotten. If,
through the chances of war or by acci
dent, any one has sustained a grave injury,
in some tribes the most devoted sympathy
is shown; the ant will carry his wounded
friend out of the heat of the fight; in
other tribes a more than Roman firmness
is displayed; the sufferer is put out of
pain by his companion. Expecting an
attack, some insects will shut their doors
at night, and barricade them within, or,
if tho danger is continual, will build
masked gateways in succession, with in
terior walls that command them. They
are no contemptible engineers. They can
construct and maintain roads of great
length, with paths branching from them,
which, if necessary, they keep mown;
thoy cross streams by throwing themselves
into floating bridges, and the damage
done to their premises by an invader they
show the moat biugulur skill and alacrity
in repairing. How many nre the
contrivances to which insects resort to
carry out their purposes ? The caterpillar
of the i-iiDbage butterfly makesa ladder
und goes up it; the geometrical caterpillar
lets down a rope, and, for fear of hurting
himself, drops a foot at a time. Thu
gossamer spider sends forth a thread fine
enough to rise like ti balloon, and, floating
in the air, descends or rises by winding it
up or letting it out. There are other
insects which make diving bells, and go
under the water". No bird makes a net,
no beast a pitfall; men and insects do
both. A gaug of sailors will carry a spar
by supporting it on alternate sides on
their shoulders; a gang of auts will, in
liko manner, carry a straw or a long
worm. Thero aro spiders which Bhow as
much dexterity as an Indian in Bneaklng
forwatd to get in reach of their prey.
"In their domotic economy, how
wonderful ! Some build their houses of
artificial stone, some of pasteboard, which
they make. Some cover their rooms
with tapestry, some lay carpets of silk on
the floor, some hang their doors on silk
binges, so that they shut by their own
weight. They mako arches, domes,
colonnades, staircases. They practice
conrealment of food."
Dr. Laycock (quoted by Prof. Draper)
remarks thus boldly :
"On what structures depend, if not on
these cephalic ganglia, all those wonderful
instincts which mimic in their operation
the arts of man. There is hardly a
mechanical pursuit in which insects do
not excel. They are oxcellent-eavers,
house builders, architect; they make
diving bells, bore galleries, raise vaults,
construct bridges; they lino their houses
with tapestry, clean them, ventilate them
and clo80 them with admirably fitted
swing doors. Thoy build and store
warehouses, construct traps in Uie greatest
variety, hunt skillfully, rob and plunder.
They poison, sabre and stab their enemies.
They have social laws, a common lan
guage, divteions of labor and graduations
of rank. They maintain armies, go to
war, send out" scouts, appoint sentinels,
carry ofl prisoners, keep Blaves and tend
domes'Ic animals. In short, they aro
mer.ially a uiiniaturo conv of niau."
The Littlo Folks.
Tho littlo boy who tried to rest a big
melon on the park railing sadly remarked
when it dropped to the sidewalk, "That's
a purty sick lookin' melon, bnt 'taint
nothing near as bad broko up us I'll bo
when I got home without it."
When a small boy is sent after a pint
of milk to the grocer's nronndthe corner,
duty compels him to taste it three times
on the way back; first, to see that it is
milk; second, to determine if it is sour;
and third, liecnuso he finds it very pleas
ant. A littlo girl, whilo out on her afternoon
walk, saw a pompous-looking man stmt
ting down the Btreet. With, child-like
simplicity, tho littlo thing ran up to him,
touched him slightly on tho arm mul
said: "Excuse mo, sir, but nro you any
