It is an old isaw and' piiifully Perhaps if the Wtnnate half. In their comfortable homes, coul4 know of the discomfort and misery endured by the other half their own petty inconveniences would grow in their hearts, hearing fruit in efforts to help the less fortunate. Through the poorer4 quarters of New Xork last summer 'duTing the heated term that 'we alt' thought so hard to bear, thousands of people walked the streets or laid uppu" the door-steps, because of the foul and suffocating air in the crowded tenement-houses. And in those stifling tenement-houses the cries of' sick children, perishing for pure air and strengthening food, were heard all through the day and night.

Poor, tired 'women, the papers said, who worked hard all day, paced the streets nightly, carrying their babes to give them a breath of fresh air. In one house, where lived seventy-six families, fifty-six children died in a very short time from disease, poor feeding and the effects of heat. Under the terrible conditions of life in large, crowded tenements, it can only he the strongest children who survive, and the sufferings undergone last summer by all the inmates have boen beyond description. Idleness, vice of all kinds, ignorance and drunkenness help to make a state of squalor and wretchedness that no one without seeing could believe ex-lsted. Better no homes than homes like these, some will say, but what does it mean to have no home?

When cold and stormy weather comes and these refuges are unavailable, there are dirty, foul-smelling rooms whose sides are lined with "bunks" or shelves, and by the payment of five cants a man, or woman, can occupy one for a night. After food for the day has been bought a vagrant's pocket seldom holds five cents, but two cents will purchase the privilege of laying the weary, -homeless body on the hare floor, with often as many others as the floor can accommodate. And if even the two cents are not forthcoming? Then, no matter how low the mercury falls, there are the streets to pace to keep from freezing, till the tired feet can bear it no longer, and the wearied frame is forced to hide itself in the most sheltered Corner, with the winter wind for a lullaby and perhaps1 the snow for a blanket Thete is no pleasure in dwelling upon tho 'details-of wretched lives and squalid homes, but we who live in comfort should know of the' miseries of others, not only by Way of learning to be thankful for our own greater blessings, but that we may feci inspired to give from the storo that has been-given us for the relief pf the destitute who are as much children of Qod as we are.

Some of our readers may think that the following description has a romantic soand. but it is extracted from the "Proceedings of tho Linnasan Society, having been communicated to that learned body by an observer in Australia. The writer saw a large number of ants surrounding those that he had killed, and determined to watch their proceedings closely.

1 Accordingly he followed four or five that started off from the rest toward a hillock a short distance off, in which was an ants nest. This they entered, and in about fire minutes they reappeared, followed by others. All fell into rank, walking regularly and slowly, two by two, until they arrived at the spot where lay the dead bodies of the soldier ants. In a-fow minutes two of the ants ad; vanced and took up the body of one of their comrades; then two others, and so on, until all were ready to march. First walked two ants bearing a body, then two without a' burden; then two others with another dead ant, and so on, until the line was extended tr about forty pairs, and the procession now moved slowly onward, followed by an irregular body of about two hundred ants.

Occasionally the two laden ants stopped, and laying down the dead -body, it was taken up by tho two walking unburdened behind them, and thus- by occasionally relieving' each other, they arrived at a sandy spot near the sea. The body of ants commenced digging with their jaws a number of holes in the ground, in each of 'which a dead ant was laid; Then they fell to and filled up the graves. This didi not quite finish the remarkable circumstances attending this insect funeral. Some six or seven of the ants had attempted to ran off without performing their share of the task of digging; these were caught and brought back, when they were at once attacked and killed upon the spot A single grave wa quickly dag, and they were all dropped into ifcJottsjtkmpanuMi.
