The Spider.

One OF the most singular facts in rela-
ton to this insect, is that it casts its skin
once every year. In order to effect this,
it forms, in one corner of its web, kind
of thick purse, similar to that in which
it used to enclose its eggs. Placing it.
self then in the centre of its web, il be.
gins to distend its body with all the yio-
lence it can exert, for several minutes,
until it splits its skin the whole length of
the back. This being accomplished it
gradually forces its body through the
aperture, drawing out its legs one by one,
until it is entirely free from its covering.
The exuvia retain the entire form of the
spider, and are perfectly transparent
The insect itself, after this great change,
remains quite gelitinous, and is of pale
green color. In this condition it retires
TO the aforementioned purse or bag, leav-
ing the skin suspended in the web. This
shelter it is not able to leave for about
three days.

II is but a little more than forty years
since the first Grow crossed the Genessee
river eastwardly. They, with the Fox,
the Hen Hawk, Swallow, and many
other birds and insects, seem to follow
civilization.
The Grain Worm or Weevil, rs i'm
properly called, began its course of de-
struction in Vermont about the year 1928
and it advances in the course it takes
from 10 TO Is miles year. 1t has not
yet reached Western New York in any
great amount; but the destroyer is on his
march, and desolation follow in its track
in this great wheat growing region.
The Hessian Fly was introduced, it
is supposed, by the foreign mercenaries
in l777, on Long Island, from their bag
gage, or in the forage for their horses. -
1t has provrd the greatest pest on this
continent, with perhaps the exception Of
the Weevil.
The Cut Worm is of recent origin:
the first time it was noticed as doing
much damage, was during 1867 noted
as the cold years, when the whole north
err country approached the very brink
of famine, They are now universal.

An American gentleman at Naples.
writes US that On his arrival there, his
own luggage and that of his servant was
strictly examined by the police. In the
servants trunk there happened to be a
freemason's apron, which he had brought
with him from the United States, The
authorities Immediately took the alarm,
and ordered the traveller to depart in IL
hours. He protested against this order,
and by means OF letters Of introduction,
and the influence of the American Off
cials resident there, succeeded in obtain
ing its revocation. He found, however,
that he was still under surveillance as
well as his servant. An old man follow
ed him about every where, and the only
satisfac tion he could take was in walk
ing for hours at time, by which he sue
ceeded in giving his pursuer as much ex-
ercise as he could possibly endure, ana
enabling him to earn his wages.--N. r.

ADVICE TO You've MEK.-Let the busi-
ness of every one alone, and attend to
yonr own. Don't buy what you don't
want; use every hour to advantage, study
to make every hour useful; think twice
before you spent shilling-remember
you have another to make for it. find re-
creation in looking after your business,
and so your business, win not be neglect
ed in looking after recreation; buy low,
sell fair, and take care of the profits;
look over your book regularly, if you
find an error trace it out; should stroke
of misfortune come upon you in your
trade, retrench, work harder but never
fly the track; confront difficulties with
unfinching perseverance, and they viii
disappear at last, though you should
never fall in the struggle you will be
honored; but shrink from the task, and
you will be despised.

Fashionable .Nonners.-There is

Fashionable Manners. is a
set of people whom l cannot bear-the
pinks of fashionable propriety-whose
every movement is unexceptionabls; but
who, though versed in all the categories
of polite behavior, have not particle Of
Of soul or cordiality about them. We
allow that their manners may be abun-
dantly correct. There may be elegance
in every GESTURE; and gracefulness in ev-
cry position; not smile out of place,
and not step that would not bear the
measurement of the severest scrutiny.
This is very fine; but what want is the
heart and gaiety of social intercourse
the frankness that spreads animation a.
round 1.-THE eye that speaks affabilily
10 all, that chases timidity from every
bosom, and tells everyman in the compa-
ny to be confident and happy. This is
what conceive to be the virtue Of the
text, BE courteous" and not the sicxen-
ing formality of those who walk by rule,
and would reduce the whole of human
manners to wire-bound system of con-
straint tand misery.-Dr. Chambers.

The EMPEROR OF CHINA died on the
25th of February. He is succeeded by
his fourth son, the eldest survivor, =
youth nineteen years old, who will reign
under the title Of SEEKING. It is said
that this change will be Of advantage to
English interests, by bringing KETINo in
to more influential position. The
Overland Register remarks, in anticipa-
ion, that the legalization of the sale Of
opium both as a source of revenue in
helping the new government through its
formidable financial difficulties, and to-
wards settling long vexed and danger

the first measures submitted to the new

LEGENDS OF THE RosE.--The Romans
were fond Of roses. Cleopatra received
Anthony at one of her banquets, in an
apartment covered to a considerable
depth, with rose leaves; and Anthony
himself, when dying, begged that roses
should be scattered on his tomb. The
Roman generals who had achieved any
remarkable victory were permitted TO
have roses sculptured upon their shields.
Rose water was the favorite perfume OF
the Roman ladies, and the most luxuri-
GUS used ii even in their baths.
The Greeks were so fond of this beau
tful flower, that the island of Rhodes
received from them its name, derived
from the Greek, Rhodon,) on account Of
the abundance and beauty of its roses.
In the East the rose has always been
a fayorite with the poets. They repre-
sent the nightingale for its love. The
Turks believe that roses sprang from the
perspiration of Mahomet; for which rea-
son they never tread upon rose, or suf-
fer one 10 lie upon the ground; they also
sculpture rose on the tombstones of fe-
males who die unmarried.

A Bit Of Gentleman Farming.

II. j. Barnum, of Museum noterity,
has country seat at Bridgeport, Con.
necticut. He has given some attention to
farming and gardning of late. and was
elected President of the Fairfield County
Agricultural Society. We give his ex-
perience in farming in his own words:
Selling P0tatoes.-"In the fall oil
ls4s." said he, my head gardener re.
ported that | had eighty bushels Of pota.
toes to spare, so of course / directed
them to be sold They brought sixty
seven cents bushel. But, like most
small farmers, he sold the largest. and
left us moth ing but 'small potatoes TO cal
at home. But ihe worst is to come
In March we had not even a dish OF
small potatoes. So we bought more
than we sold, and paid sl,25 bushel a,
that! My experience therefore is. that a
farmer had better ascertain first how
much he wants for his own consumption
before he sends his produce to a cheap
markell
Trimming Fruit Trees by an .amat-
ure.-Another of Mr.. Barnum's ex ,eri-
ments was in the horticultural line, and
was related with such good humor that
his large audience was nearly conyulsed
with laughter. "Having been elected
President of the Fairfield County Agri-
cultural Society" continued he, 81 felt
the importance of having little practi-
cal experience as farmer. Having read
little about pruning, and watched my
gardner awhile, | armed myself with a
keen edged carving knife, and set to work
on my own hook. My first essay was
upon lot Of young cherry trees. Hall
an hour and my sharp knife gave them
quite symmetrical appearance, and re-
moved all redundent limbs and sap-ab-
sorbing sprouts and suckers; and pride
myself upon this first effort as a pruner,
and of course suitable commentators
from gardener for the labor had saved
him. Judge my astonishment, then, as
he approached with rueful countenance,
and expression of, Well, sir, you have
done it now!' why, yes, fancy |
have. How do you like my work. said
l. Like it! Why, sir, you're cat of
all the gratis! This was sad blow to
my farming aspirations. But, as never
despair, shall continue 10 go ahead
with Improvements, but shall be little
more cautious how l use the pruning
knife until learn to know sprout from
a gait. ] hope that the relation Of my
experience as farmer won't deter many
others from seeking the same employ.
ment; for if they are capable of using
the prunin G knife at all, | think they are
capable OF learning to distinguish,
perhaps at less cost than die, the useful
from the useless; and if they did not,
perhaps little more sprouting, a la mode,
in our young days, might help TO I'M
prove their education"
