THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
There is scarce a single spot 
We can search where they are not, — 
Leafy wood and dusty lane, 
Thickest copse, and lonely moor — 
Be it e’er so bare and poor — 
Yield them plentiful as rain. 
Theirs is not a gaudy dress, 
Yet we love them none the less 
For the plainness of their race; 
Plainest faces often bear 
Signs of thoughts as good and fair 
As e’er add to beauty grace. 
See yon old man stretched at ease 
In the shadow of the trees, 
Searching round and round and 
round ; 
Something now bis eye arrests. 
And his smile at once attests 
Lurking beauties he has found. 
At him loiterers on the sward. 
Through their features, stern and hard. 
Laugh with wild, indecent mirth; 
Ah ! his joys they cannot share — 
Vacant laughter everywhere 
Teems with sorrow from its birth. 
Then a schoolboy smiling bright. 
With his heart and face both light, 
Gives an eager, anxious look. 
As he passeth by the trees — 
Where the old man lies at ease — 
And hastens onward to the brook. 
Where the reeds are bending low 
To their shadows seen below. 
As the breezes through them pass ; 
And they clap their leaves with glee. 
And an scolian minstrelsy 
Then is heard amongst the grass. 
Such are scenes I oft behold ; 
These, and many more untold. 
And the grass-leaves long and fine. 
And their tenants as they gnaw 
With a never-tiring jaw. 
Fill my heart with thoughts divine.

England.’

the Lepidopterist to see the work he has

tification is minimized. The work

Month; and having, during its progres.s 
through the press, been revised and am- 
plified by several of our most able Ento- 
mologists, its accuracy is guaranteed.
