The Red Spider.

This is minute insect, of bright
red color, very common and injuri-
Gus to house plants, it's presence be-
ing sure indication of too dry an
atmosphere for the health of the
plants. The leaves of plant at
tackled by it turn whitish or yellow
ish in spots, and are covered,
especially on the under side, with
the fine whitish webs of the spiders,
causing them to wither and fall Off.
Swinging and sponging the plants
thoroughly in every part with water
will usually destroy them, unless
they are badly infested, in which
case little -four Of sulphur added
to the water or busted over the
plants will prove effectual. The
pansy is about the only thing that is
ever infested by it in the garden,
whole beds of which are sometimes
destroyed in very dry seasons.

THE DREAM OF YOUTH. The
dreams were so fondly loved in early
life may just as quickly pass away
and leave nothing but a scared and
desolate path behind. The proud
hopes which spring unbidden in the
human heart, may die and fall as
fell the plague on sinful man. The
monuments of beauty and art which
have been reared by mans creative
genus may crumble and turn dust,
but yet PERUNA the great remedy,
will still be acknowledged to be the
greatest Of all medicines, and will
still receive the praise which so
rightly belongs to 1t. Thousands
have received benefits from It, and
have shown their appreciation of 1t
by their testimonials to that effect.

edy, and for the pamphlet called the
"Ills of Life, !" or address DR.. s. b.

81 call on dreams ana visions, to dis
That which is yelled from waking
thought; conjurc
Eternity, as men constrain ghost. to
answer
10 the thoughtful man death has
its mysteries. Itappears strange that
all must meet the pale horse with its
dread rider. We love the many
things around us--the beautifulflow
ers; the waving, tossing trees; the
singing birds, and the happy com
panions about US. Yet all these
must die. The frost and snow nip
and kill the flowers; with the march
of time the trees grow old and rot
ten and decay; the songs Of the birds
cease also with age, and the happy
companions of life succumb to the
leaden sceptre of death. What a
train of thought ensues, if we pause
but for one moment, and view death
maturely. We must Gle some time;
the decree is irrevocable. Did the
thought never occur to you when
ushered into the darkened room, with
its pervading stillness--intot the pres
ence of death, as to what your feel
ings would be when you come to die?
/ have pictured to myself the scenes
of my own death. / have thought
of weeping parents and friends; the
curious, coming in to gaze for the
last time upon my face and form, ere
the coffin be closed until eternity.
Again the procession winds its way
to the distant cemetery. have
seen the string of carriages, and the
mourning friends standing around
the open grave. A hushed stiffness
was there, broken only by the sobs
of sorrow. The coffin was lowered
into the opening; the sad requiem
"ashes to ashes and dust to DUST"
was pronounced; the rattle OF clods
as they fell upon the coffin sounded
ominous; the procession turned away,
and naught but the little mound Of
dirt showed that another soul had
gone to meet its maker. The smiles
of spring, the drowsy murmurs Of
summer, the sighings of autumn, and
the bowls and shrieks of winter, are
alike unknown to the dead-there
must they remain until the judgment
day. Oh, the millions who have
tasted the pangs Of death ! God is
no respecter Of persons. The Nigh
test men have been called upon to
face the terrors of death; the kings
of the earth were marshalled under
its banner; while Saul, David, C@-
sar, Cromwell, Napoleon and Gar
field have felt its terrible fangs, and
"after life's fitful slumbers, sleepeth
WELL" Even Christ, the great, ten
del, loving Jesus, suffered the agonies
of death on the cruel cross. We, as
these have, also must die. Bryant,
in calculating that death is univer-
sal, thus also testified that there is
no differences after death:
"Thou shall lie down
With patriarchs of the infant-world--
with kings,
The powerful Of earth--the wise--the
good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
Allin one mighty selpulchre."

landlords suspicious, and therefor
suggested that we should 60 shoot
ing. To this he agreed for lie wish
ed to see me alone, where there
would be no chance of our being
overheard.
The landlord provided us with two
old fashioned guns and we departed,
taking our way toward the river,
which ran some half a mile from the
house. Arriving upon its bank, we
sat down to have a consultation as
to what was best to be done. / de-
scribed infinitely to him what dis
coveries | had made, and he was for
arresting him at once. But to this
/ objected. There was no positive
proof yet of his brothers. death
More evidence, if possible, must be
obtained. did not believe that a
jury would convict him on such evil
dence.
While thus lazily discussing the
matter, / CHANGED to glance across
the river, and beheld rabbit sitting
on the opposite bank. At sight of
it | remembered the ostensible OBJ
ject on which / had come, and rails
ing the gun l discharged it in that
direction. don't know whether
the rabbit was hurt or not, but the
piece kicked SO that it sent me upon
my back. To this day I don't know
but what the landlord meant to kill
me by putting in SO tremendous a
charge. My companion laughed at
me as / tried to scramble to my feet.
"Your gun kills both ways" said
he.
II am sure it does one way. But
the rabbit, perhaps, Is not so much
hurt as am l."
AS l spoke we both glanced over
the river to see if we could see any
thing of our game; and there we saw
a sight that shall never forget to
my dying day. The dark waters of
the river seemed agitated in strange
manner, as though something be-
meath them was trying to reach the
surface. In a moment more they
parted land human face was thrust
up. 1t was bloated and distorted by
the long time it had remained in the
water. My comganion gave cry
that thrilled me through.
my brother! my brother I"
Here was, indeed, the proof of the
murder. The terrific discharge of
the old gun had brought the body of
the murdered man to the surface,
and gave the last link of the chain.
| For only a minute did the body
remain stationary, and then it slow
ly sank beneath the water again. A
few hurried words passed between
US, anu tneu we went back to the
inn. Saul Farman was standing in
the doorway.
"What luck ?" he said as we came
up.

My hand fell heavily upon his
shoulder as l spoke.

Cleares."
There was short struggle. In
less than minute we had the irons
upon his wrists. The body was re-
covered from the river, and at the
sight of it the villain made a full
confession.
In due time he was tried and con-
victed and shortly after witnessed
his execution.
