No Reason In 1t.

A fellow who, having gone pretty
nearly through all tho follies Of life,
took 1t into his head to hire n bully to
do his fighting. He made a contract
with the stoutest bruiser he could find,
and they started on their journey down
the Mississippi. AT every landing the
quarrel was picked by the ono, and the
battle fought by the other. 1t was
tough work sometimes, but rather en-.
joyable. AtlaSt they reached New Or
leans. On the leveo they found a stout,
brawny stevedore, and after some chat.
fing, row was started, and the two bs.
gan to pummel each other. They were
we'll matched, but, aided by his expert.
ence, the bully beat the steyedore. q
say, boss, said his fighting man, 4
give up this job; you is too much 70,
mel Idon'tse see any reason IN that err

By general observation spiders nre
considered by entomologists to have a
specific Office, yiz:-To keep down the
dangerous multiplication OF winged in.
scots. They occasionally seize worm
or stray caterpillar II they happen to
encroach OH their webbed territory.
But entrapping flies is their forte. In
significant and solitary rs they are We
could not dispense with their quiet SER
vices. Let spiders strike and Tor n
single month in summer refuse 10 set
their trnps, we could hardly defend our.
selves against armies Of noxious insects,
which would take possession tof our
dwellings.
But useful as they are, unobstusive
and vigilant as sentinels, in cellars,
garrets, under the floor, in the hiding
plnccs OF straying bugs, moths and
creeping things, they have their en-.
emies and are subjected to the rigorous
demandsof the same law underswhich
they act, otherwise there would be too
many spiders in the world, especially
in Van Dieman's Land.

tiSity, when they are slaughtering their
thousands, like Cincinnati butchers, n
peculiar, fly is let loose by nature to
limit their multiplication. 1t is about
the size Of wasp.
In fair weather they may be seen con.
sIucting cells Of mud against walls and
sunny, dry pjaees. They are really
poison dungeons. In company or alone
they hunt Whatever spiders are found,
seizing them adroitly, and away they
fly with their prisoners, which are
forced into the cells, sometimes three
or four in one. When secure, they
drop in IN egg, and then plaster over
the top securely. When the egg hatch.
os, the young worm has IN ample sup.
ply OF food all ready for consumption.

CHARM OF A GARpES.-It is, indeed,
the frequent change, the never.weary.
ing variety, that is the main charm Of
the garden. You leave home for q lii.
tle time, and when you return, 10
everything is changed. New colOrs,
new forms, now perfumes greet you.
There are fresh flowers on tho stem,
fresh fruit on the bough. Few things
are moie enjoyable than q first walk in
ones garden after m absence from
home. Few men who are really fond
Of gardening ever care to be long away
from their household gods. 1t Is, in.
deed, one Of the most salutary effects OF
a love Of gardening that ones thoughts
seldom turn towards tho delights OF
vagrancy and tho charms OF strange
places,
