The losses of the enemy in the series of battles 
may be stated thus: 
Various twitchings and contortions of the body

dress (“moulting" it is sometimes called) is re¬ 
peated thrice at least in the creature's life, but 
more generally five or six times. Not only does 
the outer husk come off at these times, but, won¬ 
derful to relate! the lining membrauo of all the 
digestive passages, and of the large breathing 
tubes is cast off and renewed also.

FEEDING THE BRAIN. 
The brain needs blood to keep it active, just ; 
as do the muscles, and all the internal viscera of 
the body. If the blood does uot contain the 
proper constituents for making good brain, we 
cannot expect the properly developed and work¬ 
ing organ. Hence diet and the digestive system 
have much connection with imbecility, both as to 
its cause and treatment. The food of people has 
more to do with their morals than most of us 
imagine; and not only their food, but the proper 
location and ventilation of their dwellings, and 
the character of their companionships and asso¬ 
ciations. Take children of a low, moral condi¬ 
tion, criminals under the law, who are accustomed 
to depraved society, and to the degrading influ¬ 
ences of penury; transfer them to a place of 
punishment and feed them no better than they 
have been accustomed to being fed, give them no 
more wholesome air and exercise, and they will 
not be benefited, even by moral and religious 
instructions, however faithfully administered; 
for it is the unalterable law of the nervous sys¬ 
tem of man, which is his vital telegraph, to cauee 
one organ to respond to the stimulant applied to 
another, hence an unhealthy impresssion made 
npon the digestive system will produce a similar 
effect upon the brain and the moral nature.— Dr. 
Parrish. 
TNE SNOWS AND SEAS OF MARS. 
Mars bus lately presented a favorable oppor¬ 
tunity for the examination of its surface. The 
constitution of this planet more nearly approach¬ 
es that of the earth than any other in the system. 
Snow can be detected at both poles, the white 
circle increasing in winter and decreasing in 
summer. It has been found that the center of 
this region of snow does not coincide exactly with 
the poles of the planet. And in this respect it is 
like the eauth, whose greatest cold is not exactly 
at the pole. A greenish belt with deep bays and 
inlets near the equator, which is suspected to be 
a sea, has recently been detected. The termina¬ 
tion of the snowy region is very sharp and 
abrupt, giving the idea of a lofty cliff A reddish 
island iu the above sea has also been detected. 
The probability of Mara being inhabited is great¬ 
er thau that of any other planet. Its density is 
very nearly that of the earth. The heat and 
light of the sun would be only half of that enjoy¬ 
ed on our globe; but then this may be compen¬ 
sated by an atmosdhere which may form a 
warmer wrapping than ours and by a more sen- 
drive eye. A great part of the surface of the globe 
is covered with snow for half they ear; the peo¬ 
ple in Mara would not be worse off than we are 
in Canada, and life is tolerable. People emigra¬ 
ting from here to Mar? would find that they 
were only half as heavy as they are here, which 
some would not regard as a disadvantage.—

A RUSSIAN FUNERAL. 
Tuk burial of the dead is a picturesque and 
interesting ceremony in Moscow. A body of ' 
priests, dressed in black robes and wearing long ' 
beards, take the lead in the funeral cortege, 1 
bearing in their hands shrines and burning ! 
tapers. Tho hearse follows, drawn by four 
horses. Black plumes wave from the heads of 
the horses, and flowing black drapery covers 
their bodies and legs. Even their heads are • 
draped in black, nothing being perceptible but 
their eyes. The coffin lies exposed on the top of 
the hearse, and is also similarly draped. The 
combination of somber plumage and drapery has 
a singularly mournful appearance. 
Priests stand on stepH attached to the hearse, 
holding images of the Savior over the coffin; 
Others follow in the rear, comforting the friends 
and relatives of the deceased. A wild, monoto¬ 
nous chant Is sung from time to time by the chief 
mourners, as the procession moves toward tho 
burial ground. The people cease their occupa¬ 
tions in the streets through which the funeral 
passes, uncover their heads, and bowing down 
before the images borne by the priests, utter 
prayers for the repose of the dead. The rich 
SLOVENLY SUSAN. 
Little Susan, though really a beautiful child, 
Was always disgusting to see; 
Her hands were so dirty, her apron so soil’d, 
Her pretty black curia so entangled and wUd, 
No scullion more filthy than she. 
Iu vain her kind mother endeavored to train 
Her daughter to habits mono nice; 
She would listen and promise; but in half a day, 
From her hcodloss young mind would alike pass away 
Remonstrance, reproof, and advice. 
One morning her brother came running up stairs— 
“Oh! Mary, and Flora, and Sue; 
Come quick to the parlor, for undo is there, 
With beautiful pictures among us UYshare; 
But he says lie has not many minutes to spare, 
And told tne to hurry for you.’’’ 
So Mary and Flora, who always looked neat, 
At ouco to tho parlor ran down; 
But Susan, as usual, in slovenly ease— 
Her hair all uncombed, and dirty her face, 
Aud scarcely a hook to her gown; 
Must run to tho nursery, and beg to be dressed, 
And huary to wash her hands clean; 
But her combs were astray, and her shoe trings^untied, 
And her frock to bis mended—in vain Susan tried 
To make herself tit to be seen. 
At last she was ready, but long before that, 
Tho pictures and undo were gone; 
And undo had made to each littlo niece, 
A present of two little pictures apiece, 
But slovenly Susan got none.

THE DISCONTENTED BEE. 
There was a terrible commotion ia the bee¬ 
hive. The sentinels at the door-way ceased to 
fan with their wings, that they might listen; the 
drones murmured with a hoarse voice; the bees 
ran in and nut in great confusion; the work all 
stopped, and destruction seemed to reigu in this 
honeyed kingdom. What was the matter? After 
a great deal of noise and clamor, it was discov¬ 
ered that the bees hud brought a criminal before 
their queen to know what should be done with 
her. The queett turned round slowly and ma¬ 
jestically, as queens should do, and then in¬ 
quired, 
“ What is the matter? Why have you brought 
that young bee before me?” 
“ Please your majesty, she won't icorkl ” 
“ Won’t work! A bee won’t work!” 
“No, your majesty, and she is not only idle, 
but is all tho time complaining and finding fault 
with everybody and everything, and thus she 
makes the whole hive unhappy!” 
“Hebe, is this so? What have you to say?” 
“Please your majesty,” whined poor Hebe, 
“I’m the most unfortunate of all your subjects. 
The fact is, I'm not handsome! My face is small, 
and one of my eyes seems to squint; and though 
Pm an Italian bee, yet my dress is not rich gold, 
but has a dim leaden look, and my feet are large, 
ami my arms are hairy, and my ears are too 
large. In short, I’m so plain that nobody ever 
notices tne, and I have no admirers, and actually 
overheard a gentleman say. ‘How homely Hebe 
grows!’ Those who are handsome and have 
admirers can afford to work, but for me, there ia 
nothing but chagrin and mortification!” 
“Foolish one!” cried the queen. “Now hear 
your sentence! You will, I hope, have a long 
Life, even nine moons long! You have already 
w asted four long bright days. I condemn you 
to rise at early dawn, to go out at once and wash 
your face and hands in tho dew that gathers in 
the clematis. Then you are to go from (lower to 
flower and bring In honey sufficient to feed ten 
young bees. It will take you out twenty-five 
journeys every day, and require the honey of ono 
hundred flowers each journey.” 
“O dear!” cried Hebe, “to think of sucking 
twenty-five hundred flowers everyday!” 
“ Yes, and you must nurse ton young bees all 
the time, and thus mature one every day on an 
average, and you must do this during three 
moons. This is my senterico, and you are not 
to appear before me till at the end of that 
period!” 
The queen turned away, and the sister bees 
led poor Hebe to the door of the hive, and 
pushed her out. At first she was bewildered and 
cast down. But the sun shone bright, and the 
birds sang, and the air was filled with her sisters 
, coming and going, flying and singing. So she 
spread her wings, and away she tlew. Away,
