The Spider and the Toad.

The following singular relation is fur
nishcd by a correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, as having been witnessed by
a person now living, though occurring
more than forty years ago, about sixteen
miles from this city: The narrator said,
that while walking in the field he saw a
large black field spider, considered OF the
most yenomous species, contending with
common sized toad. The spider. be-
ing very quick in its movements, would
get upon the back of the toad and bite it,
when the toad with its fore paw would
drive OF the spidcr-It would then hop
10 plaintain, which was growing near
by, and bite it, aud then return to the
spider After seeing this repeated sew
eral times, and noticing that each time
the toad was bitten it went to the plain
tain, the spectator thought he would pull
up the plaintain and watch the result.
He did 50, Being again bitten and the
pilintain not to &c iioui,1i, the tnad soon
began to swell and show other inQrc2ti0ns
of being poisoned, and died in short
time. If the plaintain which grows SO
abundantly near almost every dwelling in
this vicinity, was such an Immediate and
etfcctual remedy to the toad for the bite
OF the spider, can We not reasonably infer
that it would be an etfectual cure for man
for the bite of the same insect!

Death to kp Abolished.

There is a community Of pertcctionists
at Oneida, \. York, whose community Of
interests extend to the domestic relations.
The last number of their organ, the CIR
cular,' announces that "without any d.
rect reference to Scripture proof, it
might be demonstrated that, under the
regime of Bible Communism, death will
ultimately be abolished The good Office
which death performs, is, to keep COT
slant check upon the parasite life of Sa-
tan in this world, by removing the diffe-
rent actors from the sccnc---tlius prolong-
ing the contest between good and evil
If this l. the Office Of death, it is very e.
sy to conceive state of things in which
its ministration will not hc necessary
Where there no longer exists the neccs-
sity for scattering aud weakening the
forces Of human nature for the sake Of
destroying the evil, there death can no
longer subscrve the purposes of God, and
will be abolished
