THE Sprr Err AND THE ToAD--A CURI
GUS INo1pEr r.-The following singular re-
lation is furnished by correspondent OF
the 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 large black field-splder,
considered Of the most yenomous species,
contending with a common sized toad
The spider, being very quick in its move
ments, would get upon the back Of the
toad and bite, when the toad, with It's fore
paw. would drive off the spider. 1t would
then hop to a plantain, which was growing
near by, and bite it, and then return to The
spider. After seeing this repeated several
times, and noticing that each tlme the toad
was bitten it went to the pla4taIn, the
spectator thought he would pull MP the
plantain and watch the result. He did so.
Being again bitten, and the plantain not
to be found, the toad soon began TO swell

oned, and died in short time. If the
plantain, which grows SO abundantly near
almost every dwelling in this vicinity, was
such an immediate ana efectual remedy
TO the toad for the bite of the spider, can
we not reasonably infer that it would be an
efeetual cure for man, for the bite of the
same insect 81 Boston Traveller.
How TO Go IT.'-Go it strong in the
praise Of the absent. Some of it will be
sure to get around.
Go it strong when you make love 10 a
pretty widow. More people have erred
by too little than too much in this partic-
ular.
Go it strong when taking up coutrlbu-
tons for a charitable purpose. 1t will pay.
Go it strong when YOU make public
speech. Nine people out of ten never
take an allusion unless it cuts like a short
handled whip OR rhinoseros cowhide.
Go it strong when you advertise. Bu'
siness is like arehitecture.- Petersburg
Democrat.
