Iseariot, for silver, than was ever shown

lseariot, for silver, than was ever shown
in the meekness of Moses, the longev-
ity of Alethuselah, the faith of Abraham,
or the patience of Job himself; and as We
look over the field, We are forced to in
quire if that passion that governed the
betrayer is not ever stronger TO. day than
it was then. That sin, like the diamond,
seems to have improved upon age. 1t
is melancholy fact that these truths
cannot be contradicted; and the careful
philosopher of to-day could, with pro-
priety, without exageration, truthfully
say, the dollar is king and "Lord of all." "
To its behests, the mighty force of thi,
broad land bows. It's churches, schools,
and society-even the very foundation
upon which we live and move-all, with
one voice cry, "Thou art master !"
These rude ideas may appear sour and
ill.timed; but truth is like gold,
grows brighter as passes through the
refining process, and like the Damascus
blade, must cut as its glittering and
polished edge confronts what opposes it
Magma est veritas ct prevalibit.' There
fore, are we not right in calling the at
tention of the pulpit, the moralist and
the patriot to scenes being enacted TO-
day in this, the nineteenth century
which are so graudly portrayed in Glib
bon's "Rise and Fall of the Roman EN-.
pire ?" Have the telegraph, tho news
press, the iron car done nothing? Is
religion stagnant and all of its doctrines
Of no avail? Do we still grops in the
dark =? Are virtue and truth no longer
symbols of country's standing when
the "almighty dollar" is at stake ? Must
the finer feelings of godliness be SUBJ
ordinated to it? In fine, is its reVer-
ence "ror DER and sacred Though
it looks so, God forbid. For q moment
look to-day at our country, just emerg-
ing from one of the most gigantic strug-
giles that has ever dotted earth's page
forgetting the grand landmarks that
have made her honored and respected
upon the globe-threatening her very
vitality in the polluted pool of money.
Then leave the colossal government for
q moment and see the common walks OF
life, as they, too, come under its bane-
full influence. Society bends to it. Pro-
fessions yield to it, and, worse than all,
Gods own temple becomes little less
than place for money changers; and
into this the ties Of family, love and
affection, which should be as indissolable
as the earth is from the heavens-or Us
fixed rs the north star-all, with one
accord, yield to it.
1t is a plane for the scholar and stu
dent to think and move upon, and be
who supercedes the age of corruption
with honor, and plants upon our coun-
try's emblem love and country-not
dollars and sents-will be as sacred to
the hearts of our people as the very life
blood is to their existenco. ~

A VenOmOus Water Insect.

The Norristown (Pa.) Herald says:
A curious little animal was recently
caught in pond of water at Mr.. Frank
Ramsey's, in Plymouth township, and
presented to DR.. @. S. Baker, of this
borough, who placed itin his aquarium.
1t is about two inches long, and less than
an inch broad, with six crooked legs. Its
color is dark brown, and large, promi-
nent black eyes. The back is marked as
though undeveloped wings were hidden
beneath it's hard outer coat. 1t swims
readily, but generally fixes itself to
stone or some other object, to which it
clings with its two hinder pairs of legs,
holding it's head downward and the fore
legs raised. It has sting or lance like
a mosquito. which is only thrust out
when attacking its prey.
After having been placed in the aqua
rum it remained quiet for several days,
during which time it was not seen to eat
anything. On a recent Friday it made
an attempt upon little terrapin. much
larger, however, than itself, which it
caught by the head with its forefeet,
running its lance into its neck. He soon
died, and his destroyer dragged him to a
brick in the center of the aquarium.
Then fixing itself on the brick in its
favorite attitude, it held the terrapin for
twenty-four hours, and seemed to be
sucking its blood. How much longer he
would have held him is uncertain, for
it's prey was then taken away. When it
is remembered that the weight of the
terrapin was several times it's own, the
strength of the insect may be imagined.
On the following Sunday it sprang
upon q water snake eleven inches long.
The battle was brief and exciting. The
insect pursued the former method of
attack. 1t made a dive, caught him
sideways near the neck, twisted his head
around and thrust its lance into his
throat, quickly killing him. Then as
before, it sought resting place, and
held it's prey suspended until compelled
to give it up.
Since that time it has made no further
assaults. There are number of gold
fish, frogs, tadpoles and little fishes in
the aquarium, but it takes no notice of
them. The name of the voracious ter
ror of the water has not been learned
definitely, but it is supposed to be
mantis, devouring insect which nearly
answers to the description, and which
has habit of folding its five legs in an
attitude of prayer.

An Ant Dairy ON Virginia Creeper.

The large leaves have been converted
into dairy-farms by colored family
named Formica, otherwise known as
black ants. The race to which this
family belongs have for years been no.
torious as slave drivers and cruel task
masters. They are extremely warlike
and go into battle with regularly organ
lied battalions, making slaves of their
prisoners, who, yielding to the force of
circumstances, become faithful servants,
and procure all the food that is eaten by
their idle masters. The family living
under my veranda, although fierce and
determined in their nature, have ap-
parently devoted themselves exclusively
to dairy farming, having numerous herds
of cattle-cows and calves-that are
regularly MIXED by their owners, who
drink the milk for their food. One of
the larger leaves of the Virginia creeper
forms rich meadow, where from fifty
to seventy-five COWS and calves can pas
ture. These little domestic animals are
known as aphldes, and it is certainly an
extraordinary sight to see the black ant
to whom they seem to belong go through
the field and milk these little cows.
He carries with him long whip (anten-
n1), with which he strikes the little
docile animal on the back, when it inn
mediately deposits the milk that its mas
ter eagerly drinks. When the pasture
gives out, the ant carries his herd to
another leaf or field ; and when the little
calves are old enough to be MIXED, he
begins the education by biting them.
1t is curious to see the owner defend
his flock from an intruder. Let another
black ant come into the field-that is on
to the leaf-and he attacks him with
great fury, driving him from the prem
ises at once. All this and more too, my
lens shows me of my neighbours peculiar
habits. find that if venture too close
and arouse the suspicion Of the dairy.
man by placing my hand or finger near
his little farm, that / am warned by
a sharp bite to be more circumspect in
my movements, and not to become too
familiar on short acquaintance.
M. Fowel, who has given a very close
study to the ants of Switzerland, re-
lates some very remarkable instances of
an intelligence in these little creatures
which seems almost Incredible, and in
fact it is almost impossible for any one
to comprehend the absolute mental
capacity of these tiny, and for the most
part industrious dwellers on the earth,
unless he seeks through the medium Of
his own observation closer knowledge
Of their habits and.modes of life. -Egbert
Il. Vete, IN Harper'S Magazine.
