TOUCHING ANECDOTE OF SPIDER
"a fine old English Gentleman" Mr..
MOggTidge}, with abundant leisure for
studies in natural history has written
very entertaining book on insects, in one
chapter Of which as ciitiC aSseTtsJ ho
'elevates the character OF the SPIDER %
1t is pleasant, at any IUte, to know that he
has found out enough about the creatures
feelings to elevate science in the diTec-
tion of mercy. The story is briefly as fol-
lows Moggridge has been in the habit
of immorsIng for preservation his different
specimens ot spiders and ants in bottles
of alcohol. lie saw that they struggled
for a few minutes but lie thought that
sensation was soon eGtiUguished and that
they were soon free from suffering. On
one occasion lie wished TO preserve a large
female spider ana twenty of her young
ones that he had captured. He put tie
mother into bottle Of alcohol, and he
saw that after a few moments she folded
her legs upon her body and was at rest
He then put into the bottle the young
ones, who, Of course, manifested acute
pain. What was his surprise TO see the
mother arouse herself from her lethargy,
dart round To, and gather her young ones
to her bosom, fold her arms round them,
and again relapse into inseHsi6ility, until
al length death came to her relief, and the
limbs, no longer controlled by this mater
nal instinct, relaxed their grasp and be
came dead. The effect Of the exhibition
upon him is a lesson to our cOmman hu-
manity. lie has applied chlorofOrm be-
fore immersion. Judging from the above,
the spider is superior TO the human ami
NAL. in the fact that alcohol does not des-
troy her natural affection.

Il THRILLING NCE.
OFFENCE AND DEFENCE.

Luke Dalton was sturdy fellow, of
some thirty years Of age, passionately fond
of his wife, and devotedly attached to his
of man, although, like many of his class,
he was easily led away from the paths of
virtue by evil companions. For week he
would return every night at six o'clock TO
the cottage for tea, and on the eighth day
would not turn up until two in the morn
ing. With this exception he was thorough
ly domesticated in his tastes, and drank
less beer and brought home more money
than many of his worlmates. His wife
was pretty little woman, who had sacri-
feed a comfortable home to take him for
her husband.
1t was six o clock on an October evening,
Mrs. Dalton had laid the tea things and
Mary was playing on the rug in front of
the fire.
''Now, then, my dear" said Mrs. Dal-
ton, 'leave your play alone and fetch me
the tea caddy, while l get the tea kettle.
Your father will be here directly"
So Mary went to the cupboard to fetch
the tea. By-and-by Luke came in looking
anything but cheerful. However, he kiss
ed lis child, and nodding at Fanny, sat
down at the table.
"Any news, father?'' asked his wife,
cutting large hunk of bread from the loaf
before her.
''None," he replied, surlily, ''unless it
be that I saw the young squire coming
away from the cottage this afternoon.
''Oh, yes. Why, Luke, he came in here;
what do you think of that ?''
''That fine gentlemen should learn to
know their places, and keep from polking
their noses into poor mems houses"
''He only wanted light for his pipe"
81 would have given him something
moro than that If had been here" said
Luke vciously and he gulpeG down lot
of hot tea.
Fanny rose from the table and placed
her hand upon her husbands shoulder
ssYou can't be serious ?'' she said.
81 was never more serious i'll my life, :"
he replied, looking sideways, and away
from his wife.
Dalton was silent, but he nodded his
head angrily.
81 won't have it, father-you can't be
serious. Why, my boy, haven't been a
good girl to you? Don't love you with
all my heart and soul? and you know it,
silly fellow, now don't you ?''
She stopped down and put her pretty
face close to his aud kissed him. They
were two poor, homely creatures; but hu-
man nature, you see, is human nature all
the world over.
He was surly for moment, but for
moment only, and then he returned his
wifs's embrace.
"Hang me, Fanny, but you are a right
down good one, that you are, and was
fool to doubt you"
THAT you were," replied Fanny, laugh
ing saucily.
.sBut you see, my girl, you are dcalto
good for me-"
"Of course am"
s4Aud when think of your pretty face,
and how poor am, and how much better
off YOU would have been in your father
home"

He WOULD SISG.-A rather singular
lawsuit has taken place in North Carolina.
1t grew out of an effort to stop good man
who couldn't sing from making the at
tempt in church. The name Of the unfoT-
tunate lover of song is William Linkhaw,
indicted for misdemeanor, and tried be
fore Russell, Judge, at Roheson Superior
Court. Defendant was indicted for dis
turbing a religious congregation. The ey-
idence, as detailed by several witnesses,
was substantially this: Defendant is a
member of the Methodist Church. He
sings in such a way as 10 disturb the con
gregation. At the end of each verse his
voice is heard after the other singers have
ceased. One of the witnesses being re
quested to describe defendants singing
voice and manner of defendant, which
produced burst of prolonged and ire
sistible laughter convulsing alike the spec
tators, the bar, the jury, and the Court"
The defendant is reported to be a strict
member of the church (Methodistl, and a
man of the most exemplary deportmeut.-
1t was not contended by the State upon
the evidence that he had any intention OF
purpose to disturb the congregation, but
on the contrary, it was admitted that he
was conscientiously taking part in the re-
ligious services. There was verdict of
guilty, Judgment, and an appeal by the
defendant.

Il AL4UGH-4ND A MOAN.
BY FATHER RYAN.

The brook, that down the valley
So musicly drips,
Flowed never half so brightly,
AS the light laugh from her lips.
Her face was like the lilly,
Her heart was like the rose,
Her eyes were like a heaven
Where sunlight always glows.
She trod the earth so lightly
Her feet touched not thorn:
Her words were all the brightness
OF a young life's happy morn.
Along her laughter rippled
The melody of joy
She drank from every chalice
And tasted no alloy.
Her life was all laughter,
Her days were ali a smile,
Her heart was pure and happy,
She knew no gloom or guile.
She rested on the bosom
OF her mother, like 4 flower
That blossoms far in the valley
Where the storm clouds never lower.
And-''merry ! merry merry %
Rang the bells of every hour,
And-''happy happy happy :"
In her valley laughed the flower.
There was not a sign of shadow,
There was not a tear nor thorn
Ahu lllc sweet voice OF neE laughter
Filled with melody the morn.
Years passed-'twas long--long after
And saw a face at prayer
There was no sign Of laughter;
There was every sign of care.
For the sunshine all had faded
From the valley and the flower,
And rhe once fair face was shaded
In life's lonely evening hour.
And the lips that smiled with laughter
In the valley of the morn
In the valley of the evening
They were pale and sorrow-worn.
And l read the old, old lesson
In her face and in her tears,
While she sighed amid the shadows
OF the sunset of her years.
All the ripping streams of laughter
From our hearts and lips that flow
Shall be frozen cold, years after,
Into icicleS of woe.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1874-02-20

SUBLIME Devotion OF A MOTHER
The purest, strongest and most selfsacri-
ficing of human affections is that of the
mother for her child. All others are La
bic to be Iessened or wholly extinguialled
by circumstances (; but this lives through
every situation. The reports of the hor-
rible holocaust at Evansville, Indian 6. re-
Gently published, illustrate this. Accord
ing to the most extended account, which is
probably the correct one, Mrs. Mehr, find
ing that the building WAS on fire, seized
the child neal est her aud carried him out
in safety. Though the flames were encir-
cling the place and the smoke filling it,
the woman, undauntcd, returned for the
other little ones bat never came forth
When the ruins were cleared away, her
charred body was discovered, and, ciasped
close to it, the charred body of her youngest
babe. Such is the tale in brief. 1t needs
no comment. If, through all history, there
be shown a more appealing Illustration Of
maternal love, we cannot at pesent recall
It, What arm but mothers would, de
spite the terrible and long continued tor
ture of fire, preserve the clasp of its treasure
unrelaxed. Shocking though snch incl
dents be, they prove, at least to the most
skeptical, the existence of such thing as
disintcrested devotion unto death.
