TARANTULA NEsr-The workmen
of the ditch for the Monitor Consolida-
ted mill unearthed, one day this week,
a great curiosity in the shape of huge
family nest, containing, according to
count of one of the men, fifty eight tar
antulas. The nest is shaped like a
common stone jug, and is eight inches
IN diameter, the outer walls being about
one-fourth of an inch thick and COM
posed of clay cement. The whole inner
space is divided by walls no thicker
than pane of glass into cells or COM
partments, and the nozzle at the surface
Of the ground about an inch in diameter
is neatly covered by lid hung with
hinges of the silky web of the spider
family, in such a manner that it closes
itself Immediately on the ingress or
egress of any of the inhabitants of the
nest, and being composed of the clay
and earth surrounding, conceals the
aperture while it protects all from the
weather.-.Monitor Gazette.

The Happy Woman.

In this our world-which is appar-
emily meant to be the road to perfection,
never its goal-you will find too few
specimens to be ever likely to mistake
her. But you will recognize her pres
ence the moment she crosses your path.
Not by her extreme iveliness-lively
people are rarely either happy or able
to diffuse happiness; but by sense of
brightness and cheerfulness and joyful
ness that enters with her-as an evening
sunbeam across your parlor wall. Like
the fairy Order in the nursery tale, she
takes up the tangled threads of your
mind, and reduces them to regularity,
till you distinguish a clear pattern
through the ugly maze. She may be
neither handsome, nor clever, nor enter
tanning, yet somehow she makes you
feel comfortable because she is so COM
Portable herself. She shames you out
of your complainings, for she makes
none. Yet, mayhap, since it is the
divine law that we should all, like our
Masters, be made perfect through
suffering" you are fully aware that she
has had far more sorrow than ever you
had; that her daily path, had you to
tread it, would be to you as gloomy and
full of pitfalls, as to her it is safe and
bright. She may have even less than
the medium lot of earthly blessings, yet
all she has she enjoys to the full; and
it is so pleasant to see any one enjoy!
For her sorrows she neither hypocritic-
ally denies, nor proudly smothers them
she simply bears them; therefore,
they come to her as sorrows were meant
to come, naturally and handsomely, and
passing over, leave her full of compass
sion for all who may have to do the
same.-.A Woman's Thoughts about
Woman.

AN UNHEALTHY HoUsE.-A dark
house is always an unhealthy house,
always an ill-aired house, always a
dirty house. Want of light stops
growth, and promotes scrofula, ricketts,,
ETC., among children. People lose their
health in a dark house, and if they get
i'll, they cannot get well again in it.
Three, out Of many negligences and
ignorances in managing the health of
houses generally, will here mention as
specimens. First. that the female head
in charge of any building does not think
it necessary to visit every hole and
corner of it every day. Second, that
it is not considered essential to air, to
sun, and clean rooms, while uninhabited.
Third, that one window is considered
enough to air room.-F2orence Night

QUARRELING.-If anything in the
world will make man feel badly, ex-
cept pinching his fingers in the crack
of door, it is, unquestionably, quar-
rel. No man ever fails to think less of
himself after it than before. 1t de-
grades him in the eyes of others, and,
what is worse, blunts his sensibilities
on the one hand, and increases the
power of passionate irritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peace
ably and quietly we get on, the better
for our neighbors. In nine cases out
of ten, the better course is, if man
cheats you, quit dealing with him; if
he is abusive, quit his company; and if
he ISLANDERS you, take care to live so
that nobody will believe him. No mat
ter who he is, or how he misuses you,
the wisest way is to let him alone; for
there is nothing better than this cool,
calm and quiet way of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with.

1. Invest all your capital in land,
and run in debt for more.
2. Hire money to stock your farm.
3. Have no faith in your own bust
ness, and be always ready to sell out.
4. Buy mean COWS, spawned horses,
poor oxen, and cheap tools.
5. Feed poor hay and mouldy corn
stalks exclusively, in order to keep your
stock tame F; fiery cattle are terribly
hard on old rickety wagons and plows.
6. Use the oil of hickory freely
whenever your oxen need strength it
is cheaper than hay or meal, and keeps
the hair lively, and pounds out all the
grub.
I. Select such calves for stock as the
butchers shun-beauties of runts, thin
in the hams, and pot-bellied; but be
sure and keep their blood thin by scanty
heritage; animals are safest to breed
from that haven't strength to herd.
s. Be cautious about manufacturing
manure it makes the fields look black
and mournful about planting time; be-
sides it is a deal of work to haul it.
9. Never waste time by setting out

In New London, Connecticut, Jona-
than Harris is before court of justice
striving to be divorced from his wife,
whom he charges with many IMMORAL
ties. The contest has been ON trial about
a week, and full reports of the disgust
ing details of the case are given in the
New York papers. Filthy it is; but not
more so than other cases of its class.
Indeed, all such cases resemble each
other so much that we cannot see the
novelty which justifies their being re-
ported. Mrs. Harris has been Rugged
and kissed by all sorts of people during
a year or two back-she has been started
in odd situations by her daughter and
the servants in the very house in which
her children were born; she has taken
advantage of her husbands absence to
receive Major Williams of the army,
and the brothers Miner and other trash
from Nea0 York; and when ehided by
her husband for her imprudence, she
calls him an "old fool" she has had d
dozen lovers from first to last; and,
though awoman of forty and the mother
of eight children, she is found to be as
risky as any bad woman of twenty.
Jonathan Harris is man of fifty, of a
weak intellect and a religious turn of
mind, but with some businesstact. He

September, 1864, In favor of Miss Gabri-
ella Saeltzer against her husband, Alex
ander Saeltzer, was made before Judge
Ingraham, of the New York Supreme
(oirt on Monday afternoon. The
grounds of application are rather novel.
The lady claims that the decree was OBJ
tanned by fraud and collision between
the husband and lawyer, who, she al
leges, induced her to commence the suit
under the agreement that It was to be
merely sham affair, for the purpose OF
curing q mOnomania of Mr.. Saeltzer on
the subject of the divorce. Some time
after this agreement she represents tina
she learned for the first time that gent
uine decree of divorce had been grant
ed, and that her husband had married
another lady. This induced her 10 APP
ply for an annulling of the decree OH
the ground of fraud. The husband on
the other hand, denies this story OF MIS-.
Saeltzer, and so does the lawyer referred
| to in the lady's affidavit. The decision
