This batter occurred shortly after the re-

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

WILLIAM.
sThe Boy stood on the burning deck. Mrs Hetndn'
The Boy, stretca'd on the school bench lay,
His books around him thrown;
His chumS had all gone out TO play,
And left him there, alone.
Yet stalwart limbs were his, at need,
Aad merry glance, and note;
AS born in youths wild prauks to lead,
And fight, or fun promote.
The glee burst FORTH but all in vain,
His heart was sad, and sore;
He turned him TO his bench 2gain,
To dream OF home once more.
He called aloud, "Oh father say"
yet my task is done -
That father now, was lar away,
And needed not his son.
''Speak father" once again he cried,
''lf may yet so home -
"And''--but the booming shouts replied,
"Pshaw, Willy, come eat, come"
Upon his ear, shout, gbe, and jest
In harmless point wcro sent,
He looked irom that hard plank OF rest,
In Sullen discomfort.
And shouted but once more a,oGd,
"My Father, must stray f'
While brooms and busters raised q cloud
That dullcd the liz ght Of day.
1t wrapt him rouud in diagy gloom,
Ii filed his nose and eyes;
1t made him ''drot'' the dusty room,
But still, supine he lies
There came cal,-the school bells sound
The Boy, where is he now:
Ask at the desk where, gathering round,
Young Learuins's yotrles bow
Lo classic page, and modern lore
His nobler thoughts employ;
Aud, pining on that bench, no more
Is seen that homc-sick boy.
The full bred nag, in cot thood's days
Thus, on the green sward, lies,
And nought of future speed berays
In lislless limbs, and eyes
But training due, the groom's skilpd hand
His dormant powers rouse up,
And coming, proudly, TO tho stand,
He starts,-aud takes the Cup.

ERNEST KIss.-This is the singular name
of singular man, and one ofthe most dis
tinguished of the Hungarian Generals who
were taken prisoners and executed by the
Austrians in the late war. The following
notice of him is condensed from an inter-
ersting account Of Hungarian Gencrals,pub-
lished in foreign journal:
Ernest Kiss was very wealthy proprle-
tor, owning twenty-threc villages, and
was a man Of excessive personal elegance,
as well as Of chlvalric courage. He regu-
larly sent his linen all the way from Hun
gary to Paris to be washed, and was in SIM
lar respects, D Orsay as well as Bay
ard. His coolncss in danger was remark
able; and it was told of him that one day
within reach Of an Austrian battery, making
an observation, he ordered his servant to
bring him cup of Chocolate, A shot took
it from his hand and killed his horse. "Clum-
sy rascaIs p said Kiss, "they have upset
nv breakfast" When taken out with three
others TO be shot, he was superbly dressed.
The order was given to fire, and his COM
panions fell, while he stood untouched
''You have forgotten me" said Kiss, in his
usual tone OF voice. The corporal of the
platoon stepped up and fred and, the ball
striking him in the forehead, he fell dead
without struggle"

EDITORIAL TR1ALs.-The editor of the
american Mechanic has encountered trials
unknown to ordinary men. Hearken unto

"Owing to the facts that our paper-maker
disappointed, the mails failed and deprived
us of our exchanges, Dutch pedlar stole
our scissors, the rats run off with our paste,
and the devils went to the circus, while the
editor was home tending babies, our paper
is unavoidably delayed beyond the proper
period of public aton.'

A MONSTER SpIDER.-Madam Merriam, a
Dutch literary lady who hourished more
than one hundred years ago, speaks of spi-
ders in Surinam, that would seize the hum
ming birds while on their nests, and run off
with them. This report was doubted until
quite lately. A gentleman, who was fish
ing on the Essequibo, observed large and
curious looking animal up in tree near a
birds nest. He fired at it when down Came
huge spider with young bird in its
mouth. This spider was a rough shaggy
monster, with thick covering of hair or
bristes. The hairs were, in some places,
full an inch long, and OF a dark brown col-
or, inclined to black. This terrible looking
insect had clutched the young bird by t,he
neck, Immediately above the shoulders; and
although no blood escaped from the wounds
they were much infameo and sSoIlen. My
bullet (says the narrator) carried away some
three or four of the legs ef the spider, and
had wounded its body Pretty badly. | there
