enough to enable the aerial voysger
to run through the air, and catch

lest of the tribe, there are twenty
tubes, through which Is drawn the
viscid globules-the gummy matter
it employs in spinning-eaeh Of the
thickness Of abont one tenth Of an
inch. It takes 40 these globules
to form a single spiral line; it has

which gives the number Of $500
We have thus got the average total
number Of lines between two radii
Of the circle; multiplying that num-
Der BY 26, the number Of the radii

A Story Of a sweaPer.

A gentleman once heard a labor
ing man swear dreadfully in the
presence of a number of his com
Ianions. He told him it was a COW
ardly thing to swear in company.
The man said nc was not afraid TO
swear at any time or any place,
"rll give you ten dollars" said
the gentleman, ''if you viii go into
the graveyard tonight at twelve
O'Clock, and swear the same oaths
which you have uttered here, when
you are alone with your God"
agreed" said the man, "tis an
easy way ofearning ten dollars"
"Well you come to me tomorrow
and say you have done it, and the
money is yours"
Time passed on, midnight came.
The man went to the graveyard; it
was a night OF pitchy darkness. As
he entered the graveyard not a sound
was heard; all was still as death.
Then the geDtleman's words, "Aione
with Goo" came over him with won
derful power. The thought of the
wickedness he had committed, and
what he came there to do, dartcd
through his mind like a fash of
He trembled at his folly
.afrai'l to take another step, he fell
on his knees, and instead of the
dreadful oaths he had come to utter,
the earnest cry went up--"God be
merciful to me a sinner
The next day he went TO the gen.
tleman and thanked him for what he
had done, and said he had resolved
not to swear another oath as long as
he lived.

He never Adyertisss.


There is a blight picture OF man
who does not advertise. He is dis
tinguished very easily by his care
worn countenanca. He is grasPing
holding fast to what he has, and il
afraid to venture. He is generally
selfish, and looks upon all customers
with distrust. The miserly eager
ness with which he clutches the pay
for his goods creates an aRtipathy
for him in the minds Of his patrons
and they generally leave him. His
store is anything but inviting, as the
goods are not displayed at all, and a
bleak appearance OF the walls is the
consequence. At night he lights
his store wIth the poorest kind OF
candles, which shed a pale gIimmeF
over goods giving them aR Old and
dusty look, At his store You will
be certain to find mean whiskey, soft
soap, damaged groceries and dry
goods-all last years fashions, etc.
lie seldom gives anything for public
improveme nts or charitable purpo-
ses, and measures mankind general
" in his own bushel. Such a man
never helps to build railroads, steam
boats, telegraph lines, or anything OF
the kind. II the balance of ran
kind were like him, stage coaches
would be the only public convey
anees. Where great cities now
stand. a few double pen log houses
and a bar room would be isstead.--
Colleges and schools would never
have been thought Of and blissful
ignorance would now reign supreme.
He is never posted on the topics Of
the day, nor is he informed in re-
gard to commercial affairs, because
he shuts himself Off from that source
of information by discountenan-
cling the press, the only means thro'
which It can be attained. And when
he dies, he is not generally much la

stay Where Yov Are.

As a general rule, the best place
Tor a young man 20 begin life is
right where ne is. Heneed not 90 4
hundred. or, three hundred, or a
Thousand miles away from home, to
try the world; that particular spot
where he lives is a part Of the
world, and just as good a place to
try as some other particular spot
three hundred miles OF. In the
Eastern States, where society is set
tied, and things change but little
where the business is held in a fixed
channel, and certain families are
supposed to have a prescriptive
right to do everything that is
done-there is not much induce
ment for young man to remain at
home, unless he possesses the geni-
US and enterprise to break through
the tradition that hampers him.
But no such condition Of things ex
ist out West; here everything is
new, fresh and plastic, and q young
man may do his part in moulding
things to his purpose. It is a very
common mistake for youngsters,
who have not yet butted their ten
der heads against the hard angles of
the world, to imagine that they pos
sess superior talent If they only
had an opportunity to exhibit it.
If they live or a farm, there is no
chance to show their genius; if they
live in a country town, it is entirely
too small to spread their wings in.
They yearh for a great city, where
talents aIe appreciated, and imag-
inc that there is a field for them to
rise to eminence and wealth; and
yet they had better stay where
they are, and make their beginning
in the locality where they are
raised, Ifthey really possess geni- 1
us or special aptitude, they may
first develop them, and test the
metal they are made of, inathe limi-
ted sphere oftheir native place, and
if the experiment proves satisfacto-
ry, afterwards transfer them to a
wider sphere of action. Thousands
Of young men, who go to great
cities to try the world, find such
cities too much for them, and learn
too late that it would have been
better for them to have made their
trial in au humber and safer sphere.
