The wind has ceased--how still and tranquil all
The ghastly moon still shines upon the wall -
While other eyes are closed why do J weep
Begone We phantoms. welcome halmy sleep
And bear me 70 the shadowy land Of dreams,
Where yesternght roamed by crystal streams,
And gathered flowers methought would never fade,
Or talked with angels meath the pleasant shade
II was dream; ali yes, and life to me
Was once a dream-smooth as the placid sea
When all is calm and ON It's bosom lies
The golden radiance of the summer skies
There came a storm-the thunder's dreadful roar,
The angry waves that beat against the shore
Awakened me-O, l had lived too long
In the bright realms OF fancy and Of song.
Perhaps twas well the storm swept DER the sea-
Perhaps twas well the tumul, startled me,
Twas well learned there's much to do and dare,
Much 10 be suffered, much to mecky bear,
But when found the real though unsought'
And thought of SIC and trembed as ] Thought
When like the leaves IN autumn day by day
The hopes ! cherished hastened 90 decay,
And hopeless, helpless in my great despair
turned TO earth but found no soace there,
Twas well for me that in the darkened skies

know not why, though nature Graves TO know,
That all my dreams Of happiness below
Should be thus bhghted, yet the time is near,
When !, poor voyager, often shipwrecked here,
Shall reach the port, and safely moored at last
Review the scenes and suileIngs Of the past
Behoding where the shadows darkest lay
The dawning glory of immortal day,
And all along the path that seemed so drear
Leaving this one memoral-God was here

WHAT A SPIDER EATS PER DIEM.
In order to test what spider could do in
the way of eating, we arose about daybreak
one morning. 20 supply his web with a fly.
At first, however, the spider did not come
from bis retreat, so we peeped among the
leaves, and there discovered that an earwig
had been caught, and was being feasted on.
The spider left the earwig, rolled up the fly,
and at once returned to his a." first course"
This was at 80 A. N. in September. At 7
A. NJ. the earwig had been demolished (; and
the spider, after resting little while, and
probably enjoying nap, came down for the
fly, which he had finished by o A. NJ. A lit
tie after nine we supplied him with daddy
long.legs, which was eaten by noon. At one
o'clock a blow-Ay was greedily seized, and
with an appetite no worse for his previous
indulgence, he commenced on the blow.hy.
During the day and toward the evening" a
great many small green flies, or what are
popularity termed midges, had been caught in
the web. OF these we counted 100, all dead,
and fast prisoners in the spiders net. Soon
after dark, provided with lantern, we went
to examine whether the spider was suffering
at all from indigestion, or in any other way
from his previous meals instead, however,

rolling up together the various little green
midges, which he took to his retreat, and ate;
this process he repeated, carrying up the
lots in little detschments, until the whole
web was eaten, for the web and its contents
were bundled up together. A slight rest of
about an hour was followed by the most in
dustrious webmskipg process, and before
daybresk another web was ready to be used
in the same way. Taking the relative size Of
the spider and Of the creatures it ate, and
