A Paper.MakiDg Spider.

Spiders have been noted so long as spinners of the finest of silk, that it strikes one little oddly to think of one as paper maker. But hear this true story that has just been told to me:
 In the heart of the African continent, where no other paper is manufactured, the spider paper-maker does her quiet work. Back and forth, over fiat sur face about an inch and half square, on the inside wall of hut, the square is covered with a pure white paper. Un- der this she places from forty to fifty eggs; and then, to fasten the square of paper more securely to the wall, she makes a strip of paper about a quarter of an inch sluare, and with this glues the square carefully around the edges.
 When all is done, the spider-which is quite large one-places herself on the center of the outside of the little flat bag so carefully made, and begins a watch, which is to last for three weeks without intermission. Apparently the young spiders would have many dangers to fear, did not their anxious mamma wage free war upon the cockroaches and other insects that come near. Alter three weeks of unremitting watchful- ness, the mother-spider leaves her nest ] in the day-times to hunt food, but she I always returns at night, until her young are strong enough to take care of them selves.-" Jock-m the-Puipit," S. Nicko ] Jas.

Horrible Crime Committed by Priest.

On the 22nd ult, horrible crime was committed in Capun by clergyman. This man heretofore of good repute and the head of boys school, had a canary bird Of which he was very fond, whose cage hung in one of the rooms where the pupils usually assemble. One day when in tho absence of the clergy man the boys were tumbling about in the room, one of them happened to knock the cage over, when the little door being opened by the fall the bird escaped and flew away. The clergyman returning, as usual looked around for his yellow singer, and when he observed that it had flown the criminal was pointed out to him in the person of twelve year old son of butcher. Perfectly composed to all appearance he made the boy kneel down, when he told him that he could not go to dinner. Well, the rest of them went home as usual, while the butchers son was detained with the clergyman. Passing his home, some of the scholars told the parents of the delinquent that the latter would not come to dinner, but had to stay at school for punishment An hour having elapsed, the butcher and his wife thought they would go and see the clergyman, ask his pardon in the boys behalf, and get him to dismiss him. We'll, they go to the sohool-house, knock at the door for admittance, but no an swer, and when, upon louder knocking, no sign of life is heard, the butcher, a stalwart, broad -shouldered man finally bursts the door in, afraid that something might have happened. Filled with anx- iety they enter the house, when a shock ing sight is presented to the eyes of the afirightened parents. They found their beloved child lying on table, with out stretched arms, the hands nailed down on the table, and the feet, longer than the table leaf, chopped of short. lm- agine the grief of the poor parents. The father, having somewhat recovered from the fearful shock, his first thought, Of course, was to find the executioner of his unfortunate child, aud take bloody ven- geancc en him. He called aloud, look ing everywhere, when finally, he discov- cred him, hidden in small aperture not necessary to be named, when, without heeitating, he plunged his knife into the breast of the wretch.
