THE SPID Err.
Remarkable Things About a too Com.
mon Insect.

The worst thing about this poor in
sect is, that it is so thoroughly ugly.
In it Nature has sacrificed everything
in the formation Of the industrial ma
chine necessary for satisfying its wants.
OF q circular form, furnished with
eight legs and eight vigilant eyes, it
astonshes land disgusts) us by the pre-
eminence of an enormous abdomen.
lgnoble trait, in which the inattentiye
and superficial, observer will see moth.
ing but type of gluttony. Alas! it is
quite the contrary. This abdomen is
its workshop, its magazine, the pocket
in which the rope-maker keeps his
stock; but as he fills this pocket with
nothing but his own substance, he can
only increase it at his own expense by
means of rigid sobriety. True type of
the artisan. If fast -dayt he says
Il shall, perhaps, get something to eat
tomorrow; but if my manufacture be
stopped, everything is lost and my
stomach will have to fast forever
In character the spider is watchful
and cunning; in disposition timid, un-
easy and nervous, being endowed with
more sensitive nature than is pos
sessed by any other insect These
characteristics are the natural results
of its miserable condition, which is a
state of constant, passive, weary wait
ing, To be forever watching the cease
less, Joyous, careless dances of the fly,
which pays no attention to the greedy
desires Of his enemy, or the gentle
whispers of Come here, little one,
come this way--is to be in state of
instant torment, to be continually un-
dergoing succession of hopes and
modification. The fatal question, shall
l get any dinner?' is continually pre-
senting itself to the dweller in the
web, followed by the still more sinister
reflection, if | have no dinner to-day,
then no more thread, and still less hope
of dinner tomorrow
The male spider often makes meal
Of his progeny; while the female loves
them so tenderly that if she cannot
save them in circumstances of peril,
she prefers to perish with them. The
love which she bears to her little ones
she does not extend toward her mate.
Sometimes, after having in vain at
tempted to prevent him from devour-
ing their offspring, the idea appears
suddenly to present itself to her mind
that the cannibal is himself good for
food, on which she constantly falls and
eats him up,

were lashed together, and the son was
soon enfolded in his mothers arms. 1t

Platt has been unfortunate. In going
to Albany to lobby for reelection to
the Senate, he formed the interesting ac-
guaintance of fair dame, which led him
to prefer room 49, at the Delcyan
House, to his own room, 80. The half
breeds found il out, and determined to
get up sensation against the stalwarts
that would oycrshadow the receut bribery
disclosed against them, and to accom-
plish their purposes they hired the SER
wants Of the hotel as spies 10 report the
movements Of Mr.. Plat and his fair
friend. Then, by the aid of step ladders,
they used the transom light over room
l13 to accumulate their evidence, after
which they proclaimed the scandal so
publicly, and with such completeness of
detail, that it completely overwhelmed
poor Platt, and drove him from Albany
and out OF the race for the Senate. Re-
publican politicians do not hesitate to
commit any crime in the decaloguc. Mr..
Plat now wishes, no doubt, more than
ever that lie had not resigned from the
