The Spider.-A boy accompanied his
father into the vineyard, and there discoy-
cred bee in a SPIDERS web. The spider
had begun to kill the bee, but the boy lib
Grated the bee and destroyed the web Of
the spider. The father, who saw it, inqui-
red, How can yod esteem the instinct and
the dexterity Of this animal so little, as to
destroy its web; on which 50 much skin and
labor have been bestowed I Did you not
observe with what beauty and regularity
the tender threads were arranged how
can you then, at the same time, be so CONF
passionate and yet SO. severe7' The boy
replied, Is NOT the ingenuity Of the spider
wicked, and does il not tend to kill and de-
stroyl But the bee gathers honey and wax
in its hive. Therefore / liberated the bee
and destroyed the web of the spider.' The
father commended the judgment Of ingen-
uous simplicity, which condemns the bright
cunning that springs from selhshness and
aims at mischief and ruin. But contin-
ued the father, perhaps you have still
done injustice to the spider. See, it de-
tends our ripe grapes from the Aies and
wasps, with the web which il spins over
Them Does it do this inquired the boy;
tn protect the fruit, or rather to satisfy It's
own thirst for blood7' True answered
the father, they concern themselves but
little about the grapes co. said the boy.
: the good which they practice without de-
signing il is Of no value. A good motive
is all that makes good action estimablo
and lovely. Very true r said the father,
1 our thanks are duo, 10 nature, who knows
how 70 employ what Is precious and un-
friendly, in the preservation Of what is good
and useful Then the boy inquired,
Why does the spider sit alone in les web.
whilst the bees i've together in social un-
ion. and work for general good2 Thus tho
spider ought TO make large common pet.'
Dear child, replied the father, many
can unite only in noble designs. The al
lance of wiekedness and sel6shness carries
the seed Of rain in ITSELF Therefore wise
nature will not attempt what man has so Of
ten fe0nd impossible and destructive Az
they waFe returning home the boy said, Il
have learned nothing to-day from that VIZ
cioas ANIMAL sWhy not q answered the
father. Nature has placed the malicious

the good. that heeood may appear lowell
or and brighter in lhe contrast. And thus

Cause Of the American ReUolntion.--
When the late Presiden, Adams was min
lister at the Court Of ST. james, he Often
saw his countryman, Benjamin West, The
late President ofthe royal academy. One
day Mr.. West asked his friend if he should
| like TO take walk with him and see the
cause of the American Revolution. The
minister smiled at the proposal, and said
he should like TO accompany his friend
West any where. The following day he
called according to agreement, and took
Mr.. Adams into Hyde Park TO spot near
the Serpentine river, where he gave him
the following narrative. The King came
TO the throne young man surrounded by
flattering courtiers one Of whose frequent
topics it was, to declai,n against the mean
ness of his palace, which was wholly un-
worthy a monarch Of such country as
England. They said there was not Soye-
reign in Europe lodged so poorly! that
his sorry, dingy, old, brick palace of St.
James looked like a stable. and that he
ought to hold palace suited to his king
dom. The King was fond of architecture,
and would therefore more readily listen 10
suggestions, which were in fact all true.--
The spot you see here was selected for tho
site, between this and this point. which
were marked out. The King applied to
his ministers on the subject; they inquired
what sum would be wanted by his majesty,
who said he would begin with million.-
They stated the expenses of the war; and
the poverty Of the treasury, but that his
majesty's wishes should be taken into full
consideration. Some time afterwards the
King was Informed that tho wants of the
treasury were too urgent to admit of supl
ply from their. present means, but that a
revenue might bic raised in America to sup
ply all tho Kings wishes. This sugces-
ton was fOllosaessd ma ana the King was I'm
this way frs, led to consider, and then to
consent to the scheme Of taxing the colo4
mics.
