YOUTHS DEPARTMENT
THE Silly YOUNG RABBIT.

There was young rabbit
Who had 4 bad hsbit-
Sometimes he would do what his mother forbid,
And one frosty day
His mother did cay,
MY child you must stay in the burrow close
hid:
For hear the dread sounds
or huntrmen and hounds, m
Who are searching around for rabbits like you;
Should they zee but your head,
They would soon shoot you dead,
And the dogs would be on with you quicker than
Bnt poor, foolish being,
When no one was seeing
Looking out from his burrow to take short
play.
He hoped DER the ground,
With many bound,
Then looked around proudly, - If he would say,
Do fear man!
Now catch ms who can!
SO this young rabbit ran TO fue apple tree,
Where gnawing the bark,
He thought not to bark
The coming of hunters. SO careless was he;
Now, as rabbits are good,
When roasted or stewed,
Aman came along hunting rabbits for dinner;
He saw little Bun,
Then raised his big gum,
And there he lay, dead. the foolish young sinner.

How Z Spider Builds Its Nests.

W. C. RICHMOND, OF Geneva, Ohio,
sends to Appleton's Journal the following
account of how q spider builds its web.
While at work one day in the field,
accidentally destroyed the web of com
mon spider. Curious to know what the
little creature would do in Its great calam.
ity, made myself comfortable and await
ed results. The spider, not in the least
dishearte1ed by its loss, Immediately com.
mspced building another web. Il first
described circle-nOt regular, butagree-
ing with the Irregularities Of the spires
of grass on which it was suspended in .
verticle position. Having strengthened
this outer line (which may be likened TO
the felloe of carriage wheeD, by passing
around it several times, adding each time
9 thread, 1t proceeded TO form the spokes.
II ascended to the upper edge Of the cir.
Gle, and securing its thread, swung of,
slowly descending to the lower edge,
where II fastened the other end. Ascend.
ing this last formed line TO about the CEN
ire, and fastening its thread, It proceeded
