INSECT ENJOYMENT. 



Garden-white, come to the wood thus early to drink the 

 falling dew-drops ere they dry ; while overhead, seated on the 

 branch above her, are a pair of pretty japan Moths laying 

 their heads together for discussion, doubtless in antennal 

 language, of some topic of mutual interest the alarming 

 sound perhaps of our voices or our footsteps ; for now, turn- 

 ing their long horns, otherwise long ears, towards us, they 

 take to flight ere we have time to catch more than a glimpse 

 of their beautiful fringed wings of bronze and gold. Ah ! 

 little fairies ! it had been better for our cabinet, and worse for 

 you, if your sentinel senses had been less on the alert ! 



The above is no imaginary picture, but a group of objects 

 which may be seen any summer's day in localities such as 

 we have represented.
