and condemned by the unjust judge.
whilst race Of malefactors and ingrntcs
crowded around their delivcrer, bowling
for his blood, tho blood Of the Holy One.
But though tho cup was bitter. II was
mcekly drunk, for 1t had been the Fathers

Il was Mercy indeed that WAS forcing her
way to the sinner; but as she went, she
was seen doing homage to Justice. and
paying the debt, ere she freed the captive.
That dread trnnsaction proclaimed the
truth that trlnsgression could never In
Gods universe occur with impunity; and
that II one did not suffer. another must.
Tenderness was thero lavished, such ns

It Is now we'll understood that judicious
and extensive advertising Is essential to
success In oil kinds of business, with
scarcely an exception. Even those who
have been largest engaged and whose busl-
ness Is most generally known to the pub
Tic, acknowledge this to be tho case by In
creasing instead of diminishing tho amount
of their advertising. The New York
Journal Of Commerce. In speaking OF ono
of the oldest and most successful banking
institution In the city rs attributing It's
continued prosperity 10 this cause. says:
"Any one would suppose that such n
bank, 50 long established and 30 widely
known. might soil its bills and drafts, and
obtain collections enough 70 satisfy any
reasonable ambition without dollar Of
outlay for advertising. And 30 II might
be said Of Messrs. Brown, Bros. d Co.,
Duncan. Sherman & Co., and other lead
Ing bankers, whose advertisements appear
all the year In cur columns. Messrs. A.
T. Stewart & Co., who are more exten-
siyely known than any other house on this
continent, pay MS moro money Tor adver-

How q Spider Builds his House.

While at work one day In the field. I
accidently destroyed the web OF common
spider. Curious to know what the little
creature would do In Its great calamity,
made myself comfortable and awaited
results. The spider, not In the least dis
heartcned by its loss, Immediately COM
menced building another web. 1t first de-
scribcd circle, not regular, but agree
ing with the irregularities OF tho spire Of
grass on which it was suspended in ver-
tical position. Having Strengthened this
outer line (Which may be likened to the
felloe of carriage wheeD by passing
around II several times, adding each time
q thread, II proceeded 10 form tho spokes.
1t ascended To the upper edge of the cir.
Gle, and securing its thread, swung OIL
slowly descending until 1t reached the
lower edge. where II fastened the other
end. Ascending this last formed line to
about the centre, and fastening Its thread
Il proceeded again to tho circumference,
thus forming another spoke In the wheel.
1t continued this operation until enough
spokes were made, then beginning Mt the
ceutre or hub, 1t passed round and round

six or eight threads, about one fourth OF
an inch apart. This noticed was not
done with that care which marked It's
subsequent movement, but II was only In

Of staylath and not . permanent affair.
1t now iarted To the outside OF the web
and commenced To weave In tho wool

spoke to spoke around the wheel Ia di-
minishing circles, the distance between
them being determined by the spiders

at the previous revolution, and guided the

Never too Late.

How often do we soc men around us

that II Is no use to make any further ef-

often do We meet people addicted TO bad
habits who affirm that they are too old to
break them of, that after SO many years
Of indulgence Il would be impossible to

Horace has Just finished . great musical
work and feels certain Of immoral fame
on account of II. In this translation,
something Is attempted. which have
not seen attempted by any modern
English translator. That Is, to give the
sense and initiate the measure ut the same
time. The measure Is asclepiadic. II
consists of q trochaic basis, two choriam-
bi. and an lsmbus. The oesura Is Mt the
end of the first choriambus. It may not
make good English poetry.-but then the
finest English poetry would misreprcsent
Latin verse. And 1suppose twill be sd-
mitted that the best Imitation wo can now
expect would be like the Supper after
the manner OF the Ancicnts," described In
