purpose, and it would be difficult to conceive of one 

 better suited. That pest of an Italian clime, the mos- 

 quitoe, is supposed to be the prey of the lampyris

 insects. 



" "Us only when the sun hath left his throne, 



And evening's twilight darkens into night, 

 When gentler stars and planets shine alone, 



That the small glow-worm sheds his topaz light, 

 And feeds his lamp in solitude's recess : 



Even so do truth and wisdom loveliest sliine, 

 Even so doth virtue most benignly bless, 



And love thus beams from some o'ershadowed shrine." 



BOWRING. 



THE END.
