SPIDERs.-only the female spiders spin
webs. They own all the real estate, and the
males have to live vagabond life under stones
and other obscure hiding places. If they
come about the house so often rs to bore the
ruling sex, they are mercilessly killed and
eaten. The spiders skin is as unyielding as
the skin of HOLSTERS and crabs, and Is shed
from time TO time in the same way to accom-
MEDIATE the animals growth. If you poke
over The rubbish in the female spiders back
yard, among the cast-off corsets you win find
the jackets of the males who have paid for
their sociality with their lives--trophies OF
her barbarism as truly as scalps show the saw
age nature of the red man. Prot. ID. s.

HISTORY OF EARRTxes.

The nothing observation-disclosures principle
applies to the custom of wearing pendants
from the lower part of the ears as we'll as TO
many other things. 1t appears to have taken
It's rise in the eaflist times among the nations
Of the East. The prophet Isaiah approaches
the daughters of Zion with being too lavish
In ornaments Of this kind, and several parts
Of the Scripture make allusion to the spoil Of
earrings etc, which was dedicated to the
Lord. This trinket Of rings and jewels al,-
pear 70 have been - much worn BY men ia
those days AZ BY the same Sex Tint now lays
almost undisputed claim to them. II would
seem that the ornaments had been used for
idolatrous purposes previous to this time,
since Jacob, in the injunction he gave to his
household, commanded them 10 put away
8 the strange gods which were in their hand,
and all the earrings which were in their ears
These earrings or jewels, worn by Jacobs
household, had probably been consecrated to
superstitious purposes, and worn as sort Of
| amulet, for it is known that rings, whether in
the ears or hose, were first supersliiously
worn in honor of false gods, and probably of
the sun, whose circular form they were de-
signed to represent, aud, indeed, rings and
vessels among the heather nations oftentimes
had the image Of the sun, moon, etc., engrav-
en- upon them. The prophet Hosea speaks of
the women of Jerusalem as indulging in the
lying vanities of rings devoted to the idol de-
tiles Tho Roman ladies of olden times used
earrings of pearls and of precious stones, aud
not unfrequently, like some of the North
American Indians, they had three or four of
these ornaments pendant to each ear. which,
unlike the Indian trinkets Of the present day
at least, were of immense value. The Moors
of Africa were also noted for the use Of the
same ornaments Many of the busts Of the
heather gods have been found to have ear
rings, or holes pierced in their ears for that
purpose. Some investigators of antiquity
have considered this to be characteristic of
the busts Of divinities, but this opinion does
not appear to be welLfounded, as there are
many well-known statues of mor,als which
have the ears pierced The fine bust of Car
acalla, in the Villa Borghess, which is affixed
to statue of Hercules, has only the right
ear pierced.

TRUTH

How can the love of truth be implanted,
and the dishonesty Of society counteracted ?
First with reference to speaking the truth
The truth rs not merely literal representa-
stiep; Isis that which does not deceive. In
easis childhood il il much more easy to teach
child aot TO deceive than to tell the truth
ia child, ID trying its new and first acquisition
It's faculty Of speech, says 20 with 40 other
purpose than the pleasure of talking, mixes
SO much nonsense and pure imagination with
the truth, that it 10 vain to attempt to dis.
criminate between fiction and falsehood, and
as useless as vain. We must be very careful
therefore. how we accuse children OF false
hood we must be content to wait till they
can themselves discriminate between one and
the other, and in the meantime, when their
statements are very wide Of facts, let us mere
" say "Oh, that is nonsense that is only
fun" But as soon as we can, as soon as tho
proper age win permit, let us train child on
all occasions scrupulously to tell the truth,
and teach him how to do 1t, This species OF
teaching is one of the best exercises the mind
can possibly have. Language, although it is
too frequently the medium of ooncealing our
thoughts. was not given for that purpose--on
the contrary we should always endeavor that
our speech should, as near as we can, make II
correspond exactly to our thoughts and feel
ings. How little is this practiced | One-half
of what almost every one says is false--that is
1t does not correspond to the real state of
thought and feeling, but is said rather In
obedience to the dictates of kindness or po-
likeness, or the desire to pleas whereas the
dictates of truth ought alone to influence us,
and If we may not speak truth, let us at least
say nothing. How often is the language of
grief upon the tongue, with Joy sparkling in
the eye, and how easy does it seem to COM
pose almost perfect sentences expressive Of
condolences, of joy or sorrow, without any
feeling whatever in the heart We must
learn to value truth above all things, and to
do without this inconvertible currency Of mere
words of less value even than French assign
ats.

AT the request Of the representatives ofIthe
insurance companies, q proper record was
made of the facts discovered and thereupon
the companies, under the circumstances, just
flied their refusal to pay the amount insured
by referring to the provision in the policies by
virtue of which the contract was to become
null and void in the event of suicide The
counsel for the baroness urged, in reply, that
smoking ten or fifteen twc-kreutzer cigars
day could hardly be denominated an attempt
at suicide. Chemical and medical investiga-
tions were instituted by both parties, and tho
managers of the royal tobacco factory were
called upon for an opinion. The cause of his
death is believed to have been due to nicotine,
taken into his system in poisonous quantities
through the process of smoking.

AN EXPANSIVE PETITION. 1T is well at n
funeral to be concise and correct in narrating
the incidents Of the lifc and character of the
deceased, his family relations &c. The fol-
lowing shows an unusual caution:
Mr.. Phipps died, being The third husband
of Mrs. P. At tho funeral, thoir regular min
lister being out OF town, the Methodist minis
ter was requested to ofiiciate. Having recent
ly been assigned to the town, and being al
most stranger, he had to be hastily posted
as TO the deceased, his family, etc. At the fun
eral all went well, and stranger might have
thought him an old and intimate friend Of the
late Mr.. Phipps. But he was little foggy
on the widow, for in his prayer he lost his
reckoning, and brought the widow In about
in this wise And now we commend to
Thy care this widow, Thy handmade, who
has been bereaved again and again, then hes
itating An instant, be added, "aad perhaps
again"
Whether he had incorrectly ciphered up the
number of husbands who had gone before, or
was making allowance for one to come we
are not advised Hdrper's Magazine.

4 STRANGE AND ArFEor1ve scEsK

Z.
As the funeral procession bearing the NOR
tai remains of Jennie Alcott, wendell its way
slowly and sadly to the silent city of the
dead, few days ago, stranger clad in the
habilments of poverty--ono of the class des-
ignated "trampa," who frequently carry be-
meath their torn and patched garments nobler
hearts than throb under many better coat
followed the morning train, entered the GEM
etery, and at respectful distance listened at
tentively and sadly to the services at the
grave. After the ceremony was concluded,
and the relatives and friends had turned away
from the grave, leaving the loved one alone
on her clay couch, to sleep sweetly until q He
cometh to gather in His jewels :" this
tramp +" drew nearer and nearer the new
made grave-shyly, timidly, reverently--untii
others had left it, then kneeling down on the
grave, still wet with the tears of those who
loved her, he poured forth such touching
prayer, as seldom bursts from human lips
drew near the grave to see and hear. His
burning words of prayer melted them to
tears. It was sight not soon forgotten.
The tramp" kneeling on strangers grave,
pouring out his very soul in prayer, while the
evening breeze toyed with his unkempt locks,
and the shaft-like rays of the setting sun
played on the gray hairs with which his head
was sprinkled until they looked like threads
of gold. What was the mans history What
recollections of the past flooded his soul p
Perhaps years ago rich and happy, he had
put a stepping ualing away beneath the Sum-
mer sod-he had heard the clods rattling with
dull, painful sound on the coffin of his own
child. Now homeless, childless, breadless,
ffiendless. poor in this worlds possessions.
poor in spirit, without one earthly heart to
sympathize with him, none left to know him
or to care for him but his God, he kneels
tearfully on the grave of another child, a
stranger in strange land, and prays for the
same rest, the same oblivion of life and its
sorrows, that dead one enjoys. Oh What
mddan sorrows pass MS daily, unseen, un-
