If we now compare the different parts of the larva with the pupa, we remark a very striking change in the tail, which, in the previous state of being, was composed of twenty-two beautifully plumed branches ; while, in the latter, it is converted into two fine membranous tissues, ramified with numerous vessels.
Страница 75 - The rover came back from a far distant land, And he claimed of the maiden her long-promised hand ; But he built, ere he won her, the bridge of his vow, And the lovers of Egton pass over it now.
Страница 202 - ... and perfect insect; and, however low these minutiae of nature may be held in the estimation of the unthinking mass of mankind, this most elaborate proceeding renders it not improbable that they may be deemed by Him the choicest and most exquisite of His productions. These mysterious creative operations of nature, as detected and unravelled by microscopes, are surely grand and capital subjects for observations.
Страница 202 - ... circumstance. The lower two, it may be conjectured, go to form the new tail ; for, if the number of joints be counted from the head, the new tail will be found appended to that joint which was nearest to them in the larva state. The two small horns which form the...
Страница 202 - The circuitous manner in which theCreator appears to produce this species of Gnat, and many other of His smaller creatures, is truly wonderful. Other beings are produced directly, either from the egg or the maternal womb ; as, however, the Deity does nothing in vain, it may be presumed that He must have had in view some important object in the preliminary steps through which these beings have to pass — from the egg to the larva, chrysalis, and perfect insect ; and however low these minutiae of...
Страница 75 - If fortune ever favour me, St. Hilda ! hear my vow ! No lover again in my native plain, Shall be thwarted as I am now. " One day I'll come to claim my bride, As a worthy and wealthy man ! And my well earned gold shall raise a bridge Across this torrent's span.
Страница 74 - Exhausted, he climbed the steep side of the brae, And looked up the dale ere he turned him away ; Ah ! from her far window a light flickered dim, And he knew she was faithfully watching for him.

Страница 26 - I'll not describe my pangs To see thee such a thing ! The engineer Who lays the last stone of his sea-built tower, It cost him years and years of toil to raise — And, smiling at it, tells the winds and waves To roar and whistle now — but, in a night, Beholds the tempest sporting in its place — May look aghast, as I did !
