LAWYERS LIKE SPIDERS.

Few things resent Bile each other more
In natur' than an old cunnin' lawyer

the thread of his net, but in the shade

thin but his beautiful wings and we'll

fly. Il really didn't see this net work

and the streets so confounded dark,
they ought to burn gas here all day. |

Not at all, says the spider, bowin'
most gallus purlite, Il guess IFS my
fault, reckon had ought to have
hung lamp out; but pray don't move
or you may do damage. Allow me to
assist you And then he ties one leg
and then 'tother, and furls up both his
wings, and has him as fast as Gibralter.
Now says the spider, my good
friend,' ia phrase teller always uses
when he's going to be tricky,) Pm "a

and he gets ready for the operation.
sIfyou dare do that says fly, 'PIl

METHODIST CHURCH.

The discussion which has been going on in
the Methodist Church seems to be abcu
coming TO close. Such are the grounds
taken by the Southern members and such
their determination in maintaining it, that the
northern papers are winding up the discus
sion, regarding protraction oft as useless.
The conditions on which the Southern por-
ton ii. C. majority of it) will abide in the
ranks of the separaiists.
"Were the Northern Methodists-I mean
that portion of the Church represented by the
majority in the late General Convention-lo
profess theiI conviction of the wrong done to
the Souih-would they reinstate F. A. Har-
ding in the rights of which he was unld,cfHy
Invested, and declare il TO be their SENSE that
the connection of Bishop Andrew with sla-
very, being abundantly protected by Discipli-
nary provision, was i'll no degree incompat-
ibla with his continuance in the episcopacy-
and all this is implied in the repentance of our
Northern brethren in relation to this matter
ON these suggestions, have no doubt, 1.-The
Southern portien Of the Church wonld rally
to the union of the Church, with almost as
much unanimiiy as they now manifest in de-
handing separation"
Unless these conditions are complied with.
DESTINY" says the DIR. sis not more certain
than that separation will take place. To this
DIR. Bond replies, "And, verify, if the terms
you offer are the only terms upon which the
union can be preserved, we must como ur in
your conclusion" Separation then, it seems.
will come.
