A Close SHAvE.-A minister in n ew
Cum berand, Ohio, came near making a
bad tangle Of wedding one night last
week. The first bridesmaid and her
escort entered the room, and the lattor
handed him the license. The minister,
supposing that this was the couple to be
jeined, began the ceremony, and before
the young people fairly knew what he
vas about came to the words, II pre-
nounce you" A physician hastily in
terrupted the proceedings by believing
in the mans ear that he was marrying
the wrong couple. The bridesmaid fell
in swoon, and the escort remarked
grimly that it was almost too close a
shave to be pleasant.

Fun WITH SPIDER.-Spiders, in
many respects, are just like other snimals,
and can be tanned and petted and taught
agrest many lessons which they will learn
ms rapidly as dog or cat. But you must
take the trouble 10 study their ways and
get on the good side them.
One day i had been reading in book
hsw spiders managed to get their webs
across streams and roads, from the top of
one small tree to another. l went out and
caught large garden spider, one of those
bluc'gray sprawling fellows, and fixed
him up for my experiment.
took a stick sbou: eighteen inches in
length, and fastened piece Of iron to one
end of it, so that the stick would stand up
on that end itself. Then I put this stick
in the center Of a large tCb halffull Of wa
ter, and placed the spider on top OF the
stick. wanted TO see if he could get to
the land" which was the edge of the tub,
without any help. He ran down first one
side Of the stick and then the other I;
each time he would stop when he touched
the water, and shaking his feet as a cat
does, he would run up again. At last he
came TO the conclusion that he was entire-
surrounded by water on an island in
fact. After remaining perfectly quiet for
Il long time, during which have no doubt
he was arranging his plans, be began run
ming around the top of the stick and throw
ing out great coils of web with his hind
feet. In few minutes little fine strings Of
web were floating away in the slight breeze
that was blowing. After a little one Of
these touched the edge ofthe tub and stuck
fast, AS all spider webs will. This was Just
what Mr.. Spider was looking for, and the
next minute he took hold Of this web and
gave it jerk as a sailor does rope, when
he wishes 20 see how strong i. is, or make it
fast.
Having satisfied himselfthati it was fast
at the other end, he gathered il in till it wa.
tight and straight, and ther ran on it quick
TO the shore; a rescued castaway, saved
by his own ingenuity. Spiders are not
fools, if they are ugly, and He who makes
all things, has thought and care for all

EFFECT OF FEAR.

1t Is a common practice in many parts
OF India to oblige persons suspected of
crimes to chew dry rice in the presence Of
the officers of the law. Curious as it may
appear, such is the intense inHrance of
fear on the salivaiy glands, that il they
are actually guilty there is no secretion of
saliva in the mouth. and chewing is i'm
possible. Such culprits generally confess
without further efforts. On the contrary,
a consciousness of innocence alcw
proper flow of fluid for softening the
rice.
Many of our readers are familiar with
the case Of the thief to whom, in ccmmon
with other suspected persons, a stick Of a
certain length was given, with the assur-
ance that the stick of the thief would
grow by supernatural power. The cul-
prit, imagining that his stick had actually
increased in length, broke piece off and
was thus detected.
A similar anecdote is told Of farmer
who detected depredations on his corn bin
by calling his men together and making
them mix up quantity of feathers in a
sieve, assuring them at the time that the
feathers would stick to the hair Of the
thief. After a short time one of the men
raised his hand repeatedly to his head,
and thus betrayed himself.
A Partisan physician, during his visits
made in hired fly, had received bottle
Of real Jamaica rum MS sample, but
found, after returning home, that he had
left it in the carriage. He went to the
office and informed the manager that he
had left virulent poison in one Of the
carriages, and desired him to prevent any
coachman from drinking it. Hardly had
he got back when he was summoned in
great haste 20 three of these worthes,
who were suffering from the most horri-
BILE collie, and great was his difficulty in
persuadng them thatthey had only stolen
some most excellent rur1.
One of the most singular examples on
record of the effects Of fear acting through
the imagine ton is given by Breschet,
French author of the sixteenth century,
who informed us that the physicians at
Montpelier, which was then great
school Of medicine, had every year two
criminals, the one living, the other dead,
delivered to them for dissection. On one
occasion they determined to try what eff
feet the mere expectation of fear would !
produce upon a subject in perfect health
and in order to carry out the experiment |
they told the gentleman (for such was his
rank) who was placed at their discretion,
that, as the easiest mode Of taking away |
life, they would employ the means which |
Seneca had chosen for himself, and would |
therefore open his veins in warm water.
Accordingly they covered his face, pinch
ed his feet, without lancing them, and set
them in foot bath, and then spoke to
each other as if they saw the blood flow
ing freely, and life departing with it.
The man remained motioness, and when,
after awhile, they uncovered his face, they
found him dead.

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
How Hassachusetts Girl Secured
Rn Iowa Husband.


A Springfield (Mass.) correspondent OF
the Boston Herald vouches for the truth
of the following charming little ro-
nance
Several month ago a man at Dubuque,
Iowa, advertised in an Eastern Massschu-
setts paper for a wife. Among a swarm
OF answers which he received were two
from two girls in this city, who replied
just for the fun of the thing. One of
them represented herself as young wild
ow, and her lively account of herself and
her Gil cumstances was very largely fcti-
tious, especially that which told very in
cidentally, as if it was Of no consequence
Of the snug sum Of money left her by her
dear departed. She never expected to
hear of the matter again, but that was the
one letter out of all the adv vertiseis receiv-
ed which struck his fancy. He wrote to
the supposed widow" (who, in fact, had
never been married, and who was then
earning her living with her needl le); pho>
! tographs were exchanged the letters
grew more and more affectionate. until the
young woman, realizing that the affair
was no longer joke, wrote to her new
found admirer and told him frankly OF
her humble circum stances.

and at last he came from Dubuque to this
city to claim her for his bride. Instead
Of the sleek and intelligent and
manly individual whom she had expected

was her vexation to see person of decid-

covered that, when lie visited her here,
