yisrCe N MAF.-Ne love TO believe
there il more moral goodness than de-
prayity in human nature. When we ss%
one tear of pity drop from the eye, 1t
gves Us more pleasure than would the
fading Of diamond. There is good
ness- real and unselfssh-in the heart,
and We have often seen it manifest itself
10 the fgIaking Of q scene OF sorrow the
vostibu!. Of IIa2ssl,. For Ain who ia
always picking cut flaws n Lis nelgh-
hor's character, ne have no sympathy
lie reminds us Of those birds which re-
sort 10 dead and decayed limbs OF trees
10 feast on wornls. In the character OF
most men we shall find more good than
evil, more kindness than hatred-and
viiv should we seek to pick out tue
flaws, and pass over the sterling traits
Of character We hold this to be tFue
doctrine, to portray fea! goodness and
hold it mp TO the gaze and admiration OF
al, while we suffer the evil to remain IN
the shade and die. If every picture OF
human nature were ousy pure and
beautiful. re are inclined to believe that
we should have thousands OF such
characters living and loving around US.

Thn snider and the road

The following singular relation is fur
nished by a correspondent of the Boston
Traveller. as having been witnessed by a
person living. though occurring about 40
years ago. and sixteen miles from the city:
1.-The narrator said that while waking
in the field. he saw ~ large field spider,
considered of the most venomous species,
contsnding with a common sized toad.
The spider being very quick in its move
ments. would get upon the back of the
toad and bite it. when the toad. with its
fore paw, would drive off the spider. Il
would then hop to a plantain. which was
growing near by, and bite it, and then re-
turn TO the spider. After seeing this re-
peated several times. and noticing that
each time the toad was bitten it went, to
the plantain. the spectator thought he
would'pull up the plantain and watch the
result. He did so. Being again bitten.
and the plaptain not to be found, the toad
soon began 10 swell and show indications
of being poisoned, and died in a short
time. II the pIantain was such an efFec-
turl remedy TO the toad for Che bite ofthe
spider, can we not infer that it would. be
