The Spiders Web.

WHAT ever.tightening webs Of steel the
spider Habit weaves about its victims !!
The shining meshes seem at first as but a
iowery garland thrown around willing
captive. How light the letters of which
wiseacres prate and prophesy! How little
they know of mans strength and will!
Why, a child might rend such chains as
these, and what matters the enjoyment of
an houry Shall we not "eat and drink to-
day, for tomorrow we die ~
Thread by thread the spider is weaving,
and slowly, slowly, the web is tightening
around the unconscious victim. After a
season the blossoms in the chain seem to
have dropped away, and left but twining
vines and thorns which prick at every
step. The captive's eyes are halfway
opened, and good resolutions come upper
most-there is struggle to break the
bonds holding tine body in thrall, follow
ed by partial success For time the fet-
tiers seem TO be growing weaker, lighter,
and the spider making but little Roadway
in her network, never discouraged is con
tent to wait-knowing full well the varied
phases through which her victims pass,
and confident of seeing them hopelessly
entangled in her web at lastl
Strong in fancied selfsecuritv, the
doomed one relaxes, at length, the stern
watch over head and heart, kept so faith
fully for period and, just to test strength
and will, perhaps, the old haunts are re-
visited, and the old companions Of many
a wasted night and day-their name is
'1egion"-are taken by the hand, and Civ

timesi''
Should we be credited with resisting
temptation, when we are careful never to
place ourselves within temptations reach
Should not praise be given 10 those alone
who dare to meet the enemy on equal
ground, and who pass bravely on, with
the lions on either side?
Very logical reasoning, no doubt-but
when conclusions such as these are ar
rived at, beware, The ground may be
shaken beneath your feet at any moment,
and yawning chasms open 10 receive you,
body and soul! Busily the spider
weaves, and notes satisfactorily the pro-
gress of her work 1t will soon be com

Browns weqAn Wedding.

Brown, young Insurance friend of
ours, who lives in Cambridge, had the
fifth anniversary of his wedding occur
about week ago, and his friends deter
mined to celebrate his wooden wedding
by surprise party Brown came in yes
terday and told us how they succeeded.
They commenced by sending a servant
round with team to take Brown and his
wife out to ride at about seven O'Clock.
Then they began to come with presents
and materials for supper. There was
little party of five came first, all laden
hands full. They all got nicely inside the
garden gate which shuts with a spring,
when Browns big mastiff, who is always
left unclaimed in his masters absence,
came round the corner and surprised
them. One woman stepped on her dress,
and in her fall SO demoralized fragile
black walnut book case she carried that it
was atterward done up in bundle and
presented as kindling wood Another
fellow got safely out of the yard, all but
part of his pants, while old Smithers,
who weighs two hundred and twenty
pounds, plunged wildly, the eight gallon
pail of ice-cream he carried, through
Browns glass dollhouse in the corner of
the yard, and surprised some thirty dol
lars worth of exotics. Finally they fixed
things up and got into the house, and as
it was about time for Browns return they
commenced laying the supper-table.
They got down tea set of rare china that
a friend of Browns in the trade had loaned
him a week before, and broke two pieces,
SO that Brown has since been obliged to
mortgage his hen-house and buy the set;
and the comments of Mrs. Brown when
she saw the condition of the carpet, were
sarcastic in the extreme. Finally, as
browning touch, they tried TO hang out
Chinese lanterns with the words "Wel-
come" on them on the porch over the
front door. They succeeded in hanging
two lanterns, and when they had saved
the house from the fiery fiend there
wasn't enough porch left to pay for the
trouble in trying to hang out any more
Then they sat down and waited for
Brown and his wife to come home. We
draw the veil over the scene that followed
their return. Some scenes are too joyous
to be described in cold, cold words

Conquered without Whipping.

Mr.. ROBERT DALE OWEN, in an inter
esting account of his Experience of
Community Life" in the September At
Unite, tells the following story:
When first took charge Of the school,
finding that the teachers occasionally en-
ployed corporal punishment, / strictly
forbade it, After a time the master Of the
eldest boys class said to me one day, II
find it impossible To control these unruly
rascals they know | am not allowed to
fog them, and when / seek 10 enforce
rules Of order they defy me-"
/ sought to show him how he might
manage them without the rod, but he per
sisted: "If you'd try it yourself for a few
days, Mr. Owen, you'd find out that I'm
right"
"Good," said /. "I'll take them in hand
for week or two"
They uere a rough, boisterous, lawless
set; bright enough, quick Of observation !;
capable Of learning when they applied
themselves; but accustomed To a free
swing, and impatient Of discipline to
which they had never been subjected. |
said TO them, at the start: Boys, want
you to learn; you will be very sorry when
you come to be men if you don't. But you
can't learn anything worth knowing with
out rules to go by. / must have you or
derby and obedient / won't require from
you anything unreasonable, and | don't
intend to be severe with you. But what
ever tell you, has to be done, and shall be
done, sooner or later" Here | observed,
on one or two faces, smile that looked
like incredibly; but all ! added, was:
you'll save time if you do it at once"
NV lessons often oral, interested them,
and things went on quietly for few days.

this wise 1t was May, the thermometer
ranging toward ninety, and resolved to
take the class to battle in the Wabash,
much to their delight. l told them, in adj.
vance, that by the doctors advice they
were to remain in the water fifteen min

called, Cline up" they all came out
somewhat reluctantly, however-except
one tall fellow, named Ben, good swim
mer, who detained us ten minutes more,
Notwithstanding my order, several times
repeated, to come on shore.
/ said nothing about it till we returned
to the schoolroom; then asked the class,
"Do you remember my saying to you that
whatever l told you to do had to be done
sooner or la,ers" They looked at Ben,
and said "Yes." Then went on: 81 am

and seemed puzzled, never, very surely,
having been asked such aquestion before.
HAS no one any plan?" said.
AT length youngster suggested, II
guess you'd best thrash him, Mr. Owen"
81 don't wish to do that" / replied, Il
think it does boys harm. Besides never

anybody, and know it must be very
unpleasant thing TO do. Can't some OF
you think of a better plan?"
One of the class suggested: There's a
closet in the garnet, with small bolt to
it. You might shut him up there till we
get back
THAT is better than logging; but is the
closet dark ?"
''Its dark as hell"
"You mustn't talk so, my child. You
can't tell whether there is such place as
hell at all. You mean that the closet is
quite dark, don't your"
Yes
Then you ought to say so. But think
Ben would not like to be shut up in the
dark for nearly an hour
No; but then ,ce don't like to be kept
from bathing just for him"
Then one little fellow, with some hest
tation, put in his word: please, Mr..
Owen, wouldn't il do to leave him in the
Playground
"If | could be sure that he would stay
there; but he might get out and 60 bath

AT this point, Ben, no longer able To re-

and more restless, turning first to one
speaker, then to another, as we coolly dis
cussed his case-burst forth: "Mr Owen
if you'll leave me in the playground when
they go TO battle next time, I'll never stir
from it, won't. You'll see ] won't"
well, Ben" said |, 1--WE never known
you to tell a falsehooa, and I'll take your
word for ii this time But remember! II
you lie to me once, / shall never be able
To trust you again. We couldn't believe

So the next time we went bathing, | left
Ben in the play ground. When we return

"l've never left even for a minute; ask
Il en- if have" pointing TO some boys al

"Your word is enough. believe you"
Thereafter Ben came out of the water

ENDURANCE.

By MARY LOWE DICKINSON.
rop depths of human suffering or joy no measure
Into our hearts is given;
We cannot know our brothers loss or treasure,
His anguish or his heaven.
o,,times the arrowy sharpness Of sorrow,
Piercing LIES common calm,
smites hidden rocks Of comfort, which tomorrow
Overflow with healing balm.
o,,t;mes we calmest find grief's turbid river
Who trembled on its brink;
Full oft the cup at which our blanched lips culver
Holds wine Of hope to drink.
Wealth burdens that we staggered in the taking;
We walk erect at length;
The bitter blows that bow us cen to breaking
Reveal our secret strength.
The turbulent tide of tangible despairing
Beats never unconsOled;
Not so the long, low swell Of anguish, bearing
Dumb sorrow manifold.
Tho common criefs Of common souls, whose level
Is mortal low estate,
Whose voices deadened by some loud woes
In sobbing silence wait;
Wait for one answering cry Of recognition,
One star athwart their sky,
One promise Of a far-off fruition
For hopes that waiting die;
And. dying, walk again In ghostly starkness,
Peopling the gloomy gray
That makes their heaven murkier than darkness,
And farther from the day.
For these where is the light. Shall that bright
Which, soon or late, swings wide
For every soul reveal JOY immortal,
Secured the other side!
Shall we our crosses lift. till light upon them
Transfgures all belows
And wear our crowns so long ere we have won
them
That all their glory know?
And these who, bending. drag cross in sadness,
Their faces to the dust,
Not carry palms at lastf or know the gladness
OF souls that rest and trust?
Is it slow-slipping beads, or patient folding
OF stained hands in prayer,
That makes them purerY the faithful holding
OF what God gives TO bears
Not all the gathered wisdom of the sages
Can guess Code hidden ways,
And yet the slow unfolding OF the ages
Must still show forth His praise.
And all this mystery of pain, our spirits
Can neither bear nor break,
May not be mystery to souls who bear 1t
For love and for loves sake.
