SPIDERs.-The worst thing about this poor insect
is that it is thoroughly ugly. In it nature has
sacrificed everything in the formation OF the indus
trial machine necessary for satisfying its wants. OF
a circular form, furnished with eight legs and eight
vigant eyes, it astonshes (and disgnsts) by the
trait in which the inattentive and superficial OBJ
server will nothing but type of gutiony. Alas
it is quite the contrary. This abdomen is its work
shop, its magazine, the pocket in which the rope
maker keeps his stock but he fills his pocket
with nothing but his substance, he only in
crease it at his own expense, by means OF rigid
sobriety. True type of the artZan. " II fast to-
day. he says, SHALL perhaps, get something to eat
to omorrow; but if my manufacture be stopped, every
thing is lost and my stomach will have to fast for
ever" In character, he is watchful and cunning in
disposition, timd, uneasy and nervous-being en-
dowed with sensitive nature than is possessed
by any other insect. These characteristics the
natural results of its miserable condition. which is
state of constant, passive, weary waiting. To be for
ever watching the ceaseess joyess careless dances
of the fly, which pays attention to the greedy de-
sires of its enemy, or the gentle whispers OF " come
here, little one, this way is to be IN state OF
constant torment to be continually undergoing sue
cession of hopes and notifications The fatal ques-
ton " Shall / get any dinnerT is continually pre-
senting itself to the dweer in the web. followed by
the sinister reflection, " If have no dinner to-day,
then no more thread and still less hope OF dining to-
morrow The male spider often makes meal of
his progeny while the female loves them so tendery
that If She cannot save them in circumstances of
neril she prefers to perish with them. The love
which she bears to her little she does not extend
towards her mate. Sometimes, after having in vain
attempted to prevent him from devouring their off
sprug the idea appears suddenly to present itself
her mind that the canniba is himself good for food
on which she instantly falls upon him and eats
him nm.

GOLD IN THE NoRTH.-A friend OF ours has letter
from relative in Pepin. Damn county, Wisconsin,
which states that considerable excitement has been
created there by the discovery of gold. man was
digging well in the vicinity Of the town, and, in
raising the dirt, he saw something sparkle and.
thinking might be gold, took it to DR.. E. Iathrop
for examination. This gentleman, having been
resident of California, found it was really gold in
matrix Of quartz. Sand has also been washed and
yielded handsomely. When the snow melts, there
will OF course be further Investigations and it may
be that a new FL Dorado will be opened to rival the
State OF the Golden Gate. louisville Journal.

WAGGERY-Some time ago, on the Sabbath day
we wended our way to one of our churches, and in
stead of sermon heard an address upon some mis-
sionary other benevolent subject. After the ad-
dress was concluded, two brethren sent around
with the baskets for contributions. Parson l.,
who was one of the basket bearers taking the side
upon which we sat. Immediately in front and
upon the next seat negligently reclined our friend
Bill H. a gentleman Of infinite humor and full Of
dry jokes. Parson L. extended the basket and
Bill slowly shook his head.
Come, William, give us something" said the Par
son.
Can't do it," replied Bill.
"Why not? Is not the cause good one r.
"Yes; but am not able to give anything
Poh Poh / know better, you must give BET
ter reason than that
"well, owe too much money! must be just be-

But, William, you owe God larger debt than
you owe any else"
That's true, parson, but then he amt pushing

MURDERED BY NEGRoEs.-we learn from the Madi-
American that the 5th inst, Mr.. Kinnaird, an
overseer on Mr. Holey's plantation, near Deerield,
Carroll parish, murdered by four Of Mr. Holley's
negroes The American thus relates the circumstan-
ces of the affair:
The negroes were blowing in the field and Mr..
Kinnaird told of them to be more careful with
bis work or he would punish him Mr. K. was facing
the negro as he came down the furrow as soon as
he passed Mr. K, whose back was then towards him,
he dropped his plow and seized Mr. X. around the
waist and threw him into branch with the intention
of drowning him. Mr.. X. proving too stout for one
to manage him, three Of the negroes came to the
assistance of the first and they succeeded in drown
ing him after which they built log heap over him
and burned him entirely up, scarcely hatul Of bones
remaining.
The negroes on being questioned, denied any
knowledge of his whereabouts until one OF the gem
tlemen who hunting him, threatened the life of
of the little negroes il he did not tell where Mr..
X. was, when he confessed the facts above given.
Mr.. X. was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
and his untmely death will long be remembered with
pain.
