GOOD HUMOR.

only the under side of the wings being seen. The moth, on the
contrary, lays its wings flat, and laps one over the other, as
though you placed the palm of one hand on the back of the
other, the upper or right side of the wing being left in sight.

Butterflies fly by day, and moths usually by night. All
moths do not fly by night, however. There is the Burnet moth,
a beautiful creature found in Europe upon the shores of the
Mediterranean Sea. It forms, perhaps, a link between moths
and butterflies, as it delights in sunshine. Its head, antenne,
or horn-like feelers, legs, and body are black and somewhat
hairy. Its upper wings are of a bright bluish-green, with six
spots of a beautiful red on each, bordered by a little green.
The caterpillar from which this elegant creature comes is yellow
spotted with black, and the cocoon or cradle of the baby butter-
fly is boat-shaped, with lengthwise furrows, and of a straw
color.

GO0D-HUMOR.

AM a first-rate fairy,
“ Good-humor” is my name;
T use my wand where’er I go,
And make the rough ways plain ;

And makes the ugly faces shine,
The shrillest voices sweet,
The coarsest ore a golden mine,
The poorest lives complete.
