A DAY'S FOOD FOR A SPIDER.
In order to test what a spider could do in
the way of eating, we arose about daybreak
one morning to supply his fine web' with a
fly. At first. however, the spider did not
come from his retreat : so we peeped among
the leaves. and there discovered that an ear
wig had been caught, and was now being
feastollon. The spider left the earwig, rolled
up the fly, and at once returned to his "first
course. - This was at 5.30 A. M. At 7 A.
31. the carwiy . had Wen demolished, and thtii
spider, alter resting a little while, came down
for the fly, whion he rieishud by fl A. 11. A
little after 9.tve supplied him with a daddy
longlegs, which was eaten by noon_ At I
o'clock a blow fly was greedily seized, and
with an appetite apparently no worse for his
precious indulgence, he commenced on the
bloW-fly. During the day, and towards eve
ning, a great many midges had been caught
in the web. Of these we counted one hun
dred and twenty, all dead, and fast prisoners
in the spider's net. Soon after dark, provi
ded with a lantern, we went to examine
whether the spider was suffering at all from
indigestion, or in any of her way, from his
previous meals. Instead, however, of being
thus affected. he was employed in rolling up
together the various little green midges,
which he then took to his retreat and ate.—
This process he repeated, carrying up the lots
in detachments, until the whole were eaten.
A slight rest of ahout.an hour was followed
by a most industrious web-making process;
and before daybreak another web was ready
to be used in the same way. fitking the re
lative size of ther spider, and of the creatures
it ate, and applying this to a man, it would
be somewhat as follows:—At daybreak, a
small alligator ; at 7 A. M., a lamb ; at 9 A.
M.. a young cameleopard ; at 1 o'clock, a
sheep ;. and during the night one hundred and
twenty larks.—Chambers' Journal.
A Goon Mr. —The sharpest passage in Gen.
Butler's speech at Richmond, on the 13th,
waothe following :
•It was said there would be a war of races.
The story came round to him every Christmas
.while he was in the army, and they used'each
time to ask him if he intended to double the
guard.• [Laughter.] Why should there he a
war of races? . He saw in the theory before
him some half white, some half black.—
[Laughter.] On what side arc t hey going to
tight? [Applause.] If any war of races
had ever been intended it would certainly
have come.when the blacks, and half blacks,
and the halt' whites were enslaved, when their
masters were away from home battling for
the rebellion. Then, if ever, it should have
come. ' But, on the contray, the negro took
care of the helpless ones left in his charge.
The negro was neither blood thirsty nor cruel;
and ,with all the calumny and slander that has
been heaped upon the black race, he had yet
to hear the Confederate soldier state a single
act of indignity or unkindness on the part of
the negro volunteer toward him when cap
tured, or a -single act of brutality perpetrated
m the hcair of victory.

CURIOSITIES OW BIEXOEY.
Great and fearful, truly, is this memory—a
kind of judgment book ! It can be best Bins
trated by its wonders is some well-known,
some well-authenticated instances; and such
a thing as forgetting, in the human mind,
seems hardly possible. A young woman of
about 20, who could neither read nor write,
was seized with a nervous fever, when she in
cessantly talked Latin, Greek and Hebrew,
with pompous tones and distinct enunciation.
The priests and monks declared that she be
came possessed, as it appeared, by a very
learned devil. Many eminent physiologists
also cross-examined her case on the spot,; and
sheets of her ravings were taken from her'own
lips—intelligent sentences, but having no con
nection with each other. A small portion of
her Hebrew could be traced to the Bible. All
trick or conspiracy was out of the question.
Her young.physician, however, determined
o trace her past life step by step, for the pa-
tient could not return a rational answer, At
length, he discovered that she had been an
orphan, and at nine years of age was duets
bly taken by an old Protestant pastor, remain
ing with him some years. Now the collation
of this mental phenomenon was obtained. He
wag a learned man and a great Hebraist, and
it had been the old man's custom to walk the
passage of his house and by the open. kitclien
door, repeating with a loud voice from his fa
vorite books. Many of these passage, were
the same as those taken down by her he4iddel
so that no doubt could reasonably remain
concerning the true origin of the impression
Made upon her nervous system.
This authenticated case is both instance and
proof that sensations may remain, for an in
definite time, in the same order they were at
first impressed, and it also contributes to the
solemn theory that probably all our thoughts
are of themselves imperishable. In contem
plating this extraordinary case, Coleridge
makes the following impressive and solemn
reflection: "This—this, perchance, is the
dread book of judgment' in the mysterious
hieroglyphics of which every idle word is re
corded." Serious thought ! That in the na
ture of a living spirit, not a single act, or a
single thought, should ever at last be lost!—
De Quincey somewhere makes a similar re
mark : "Possibly, a suddenly developed power
of recollecting every act of a man's life may
constitute the great book to be opened before
Him on the Judgment Day."
He also relates the case of a lady who fell
into a solitary, deep brook, and was rescued
by a farmer, but not until she had desoended
near the abyss of death and looked into its
secrets as far, perhaps, as human eye could
reach and return to earth again. While sink-
ing, a blow seemed to strike her, and, in the
twinkling of an eye, every act and design of
her past life lived again, even from infancy
itself.
The case of Admiral Beaufort, in Ports-
moot harbor, is familiar to students of mental
philosophy, but we add it for the sake of the
general reader and, as an illustration of the
imperishableness of thought, it is intrinsically
worth repeating. This narrative was drawn
up in 1825, at the reqhest of Dr. Wollaston,
to whom it had been orally commued
ome time before.
The Admiral was hastily jumping on board
the Excellent, but, missing the vessel, fell in
to the water, sinking to a great depth, For
awhile he was supposed to be drowned tf
terwards he said, that all he remembered af
ter plunging into the water was a sense of
freedom from pain and a sudden recollection
of all his past life, especially his guilty actions,
long forgotten. To use his own language,
they were "as vividly fresh in my memory u
if they had occurred but yesterday. • I • •
Though the senses were thus deadened; not so
the mind; its activity seemed to be invigorated
in a ratio which defies all description; for
thought rose after thought with a rapidity of
succession that is not only indescribable, but I
probably inconceivable by any one who has
nottimself been in a similiar situation. • •
Thus travelling backwards, every past inci
dent of my life seemed to dance across my re
collection in retrograde succession—not, how
ever, in mere outline, as here stated, but the
picture filled up with every minute and col
lateral feature ; in short, the whole period of
my existence seemed to be placed before me
in a kind of panoramic review, and each act
of It seemed to be accompanied by a consci
ousneu of right or wrong, or by some reflec
tion on its cause or its consequences ; indeed,
many trifling events - which had lore@ been
forgotten then crowded into my imagi#aliurt,
and with the character of recent familiarity."
Then he thus moralizes : "May not fall this
be some indication of the almost infinite pow
er of memory with which we may awaken in
another world, and thus be compelled o con
template our past lives? Or might it not, in
some degree, warrant the inference that death
is only a change or modification of out exist
ence, in which there is no real pause Or inter
ruption ? But, however that may one
circumstance was highly remarkable ; that
the innumerable ideas *latch flashed into - my
mind were all retrospective. Yet I had been
religiously brought up. My hopes and fears
of the next world had lost nothing of their
early strength; and, at any ether period, in
tense interest and awful anxiety would have
been excited, by the mere probability that I
was floating on the threshold of eternity ; yet
at that inexplicable moment, when had a
full conviction that I had'already crossed that
threshold, not a single thought wandered into
the Akin& I was wrapped entirely , in the
past. The length of time that , 'was occupied
by this deluge of ideas, or rather Out short
ness 'of time into which they were coltdensed,

Mr. Jacob Abbott contributes an int end

Harper. Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of that
famous city, had a wife who came from a
mountainous district, and who was di:untie.
fled with the level prospect everywhere about
her am the looked from the palace of her hus
band. In order to gratify her he reared the
garden that is described below:
The vast structure built by Nebuchadnezzar
which has been celebrated in all ages as one
of the wonders of the world, under the name
of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, was
really an artificial mountain-or meant to be
such.
The structure conais' ed of a series of plat
forms or terraces supported on arches of ma
sonry, placed one above the other, and raised
so high that the upper one was above the
walls of the city, so that the spectator stand
ing upon it could not only look down upon
all the streets and squares and palaces and
gardens of the town, but could also extend
his view_ beyond the walls, and survey the
whole surrounding country. The several
tepees were supported on immense aches
of masonry. The laternal thrust of these
arches was resisted by a solid wall twenty-two
feet thick, which bounded and enclosed the
strikture on; sviry side. The platforms cov
ering the arches, and forming the terraces,
were constructed of immense flat blocks of
stone, cemented at the joints with bitumen.
Above this pavement was a War of reeds,
and then another of bitumen, upon which, at
the top of all, was a flooring of brick, which
formed the upper surface of the platform.—
On this foundation was laid s thick stratum
or garden-mold, deep enough to afford rap
port and nourishment for the largest trees.
The gardens made upon these terraces were
laid out in the most costly and elegant man
ner, and were provided with statues and foun
tains, and with the cholciest fruits, and the
rarest and most beautiful shrubs and trees,
and parterres of brilliant flowers, and seats,
and bowers, and ornamental arbors—with
everything, in short, which the horticulturist
of the day could devise to complete the at
tractiveness of the scene. The ascent from
each of these terraces to the one above it was
by a broad and beautiful flight of steps, and
visitors who ascended frotm one to the other
found on each successive platform new and
ever changing beauties, in the varied arrange
ment of walks and trees and beds of flowers,
and in the new views of the surrounding
country, which became of course wider and
more commanding the higher they ascended.
There were spacious and airy apartments
built among the arches below, which opened
out upon the successive terraces. These ap
partitcmts commanded very beautiful views,
both of the gardens before them and of the
country beyond. The interior of them was
splendidly decorated, and they were fitted
with all necessary conveniences for serving
refreshments to guests, and for furnishing
them with amusements and entertainments of
every kind. On the upper platform was a
reservoir of water, supplied by vast engines
concealed within the structure. Pipes and
other hydraulic machinery vonductad this wa
ter to all the lower terraces, in order to sup
ply the various fountains and to irrigate the
ground. In fact, so vast was the extent
and so magnificent the decorations-of this ar
tificial hill s that as long as it endured it was
considerec by common consent, as one of
the wonders of the world.
I have noticed that 1z German t les
ily government is very strict ; compared
with the theory and practice in America on
this subject, I may say, extremely rigid. The
rules and regulations are few, but they are en
forced on all occasions and under all circum
stances. Unquestioning submission to paren
tal authority, lies at the foundation of this
government. Children. a% taught to enter
tain the highest respect for superiors and for
age. It is beautiful to see the respectful man
ner in which they deport themselves in the
presence of their superiors and older persons.
They are also invariably polite to strangers.
A. few weeks ago a friend and myself made
an excursion on foot into the country, and we
were surprised at the genuine politeness of the
poor peasants and their children. Every
peasint and child we met saluted us in the
kindest manner possible, and readily and
pleasantly answered all our questions. Chil
dren are early taught to be industrious and
self-reliant. They are not allowed to call ser
vants to do for them things which they can
easily do for themselves. Every boy is train
ed for some business or profession, and the
girls are trained to make good housekeepers
and good wives. In the best families, ser
vant" very seldom wait ott the table—not
even when * guests are invited.
I took tea, not long since, at the house of a
Baroness, with a large party, and not a ser
vant was seen. The Baroness made tea after
we.were seated at the table, with a convenient
and elegant apparatus prepared for the pur
pose, and two beautiful young ladies, a niece
of the Baroness and a friend, passed around
the table and served Ike guests.
On a certain occasion, I call&the on a wealthy
family, and was received by lady of the
house, who told me that her two &Viten
were in the kitchen cooking. They were both
to be married, soon, and a professional cook
had bean ernployed to come three times s

ing, and imitate them fully into all its my

ladies came into the parlor to see me, neatly

I am told that winter, in this climate, comes
in so many shapes that the people never know
what to look fir. It has always a turpriee In
More for ma Bonne years the people here am
astonished at the slowness of its approach,
and the mildness of its 'aspect, Lest season,
it b said, and the year before, December cams
mild as May. The season was a wonder
to all. Winter here is not-commonly felt
and thorbeghly in earnest smtil after the
Christmas holidays, and the people dui not
look for the coldest weather until the last of
January or the first of February. The old
saying is, "as the day lengthens the cold '
atrengthens." But winter disregards all rules
and regulations. This year he has put in an
fairly appearance and comes in a shape that
tallies well with Dr. Holmes' description of
him. "Here comes winter," says the poet,
"as savage as when he met the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, Indian ill over, his staff a naked,
splintery hemlock, his robe torn from the
backs of bears and bison., sad fringed with
wampum of rattling icicles, turning the
ground he treads to ringing iron, and, like a
mighty sower, casting his snow fkr and wide,
over all hills and valleys and plains."
Last week the weather was certainly savage
enough. The mercury was in the neighbor
hood of zero every day, and at times as
low as sixteen degrees below. It Is said that
the average temperature of the week was
about twenty degrees lower than that of the .
same week last year. It verbal, however, not
merely in degree, but also in Its penetrative
quality. To me it had a penetrative quality
that pierced one to the vitals, although I was
in the Woods, obliged ta work, eat and sleep
out dbors. I has told that in the open fields
or country, no one could withstand the cold
for several days, and many froze themselves,
some even to death. In this, as well as other
places, the streets looked as though they had
been wind-swept, and' the few pedestrians
seen abroad were hurrying to a place of shel
ter. I heard a gentleman remark yesterday
that he despised mew, and would rather wade
in mud all winter than see snow upon the
ground. I cannot itympathitos with this feel
ing. "God giveth his snow like wool" to
keep the earth warm. The Italians isee
proverb, Mutturn neve, mutfum pane,
"Much snow, much bread," and it holds good
here even more than in Italy. the roots of
grain and grasses need its protection:and then
what a beautifier of the landscape it is I L I;
have seen on account of snow last week, the
moot beautiful landscapes the eye ever beheld.
I had a view of eighty miles distance, be
holding hills and mountains rise one above\
another. Had a view of the American Ana
English domain, with hills, mountains, lakes
and rivers intervening. The people here
were suiprised to find that I withstood the
snow and cold so well; better than most of
their own countrymen. Who could not,
when the ladles, breve souls, have bared their
heads to the blow ! The thermometer in New
Brunswick, where I remained but a day, was
24 degrees below zero. Some few persons
was out of doors, but not I!
In cities, I grant you, it may be a nuisance,
but it is in the country that the UMW appears
to the best advantage. There it is the beauti
fier of the season, the alleviator of winter's
tigers, the prompter of singing schools, balls,
and sleighing parties, the life of business, and
the sport of .childhood. The people say here
that their winters would indeed be a dreary
season without its abundant snow. We had
nine snows here thus far in December, and
only fourteen inches deep—good sleighing
just low. I had one sleigh ride, which is
sufficient for me this winter, viz : thirty-two
miles on the Scootnic and Grand Lake, and
thirty-four miles through a rough country
road, in two days, and forty miles on a good
road, the third day. How would my good
old Adams county friends like such a ride ?
Whist a loss to our native literature, had
Whittier lacked its inspiration when he drew
those pictures of a New England home whit'
charm every one in his "Snow Bound."
`Let no man then," as Ike Matvel says,
"sneer at the snow." It kills only where rash
adventurers intrude upon its storehouses—as
on the slopes . of the Swiss mountains. It
warms and cherishes and fertilizes (In its gale t
way) we know not how many acres of grain
land..-and sward land.. Its crystals are all
jewels, so rare that the handling wastes them ;
its bulk so vast as to make the sources of riv
ers ; its tint so pure that the artist despairs of
it; its tall so gentle that the grass bends not,
and yet is buried. Let me commend as a
topic for a country clergyman in winter that
text of Job, "Haat thou entered into_the

A YANKEE TRADE.
A certain farmer, who in the course of. a
year purchased several dollars' worth of goods
(and alwilys paid for them), celled at the store
of a village merchant—his regular place of
dealing-1 Mb two dozen brooms, which he
offered for sale. The merchant, (who, by the
way, is fond of a good bargain), examined
his stock and said :
"Well, Cyrus, I will give you a shilling
apiece for these brooms,"
Cyrus seemed astonished at the offer , and
quickly replied :
"Oh, no, John, I can't begin to take that
for'em, no how ; but ru let yon have-em for
twenty cents apiece, and not a cent lese."
"Cyrus, you are crazy," replied John.
"Why see here;" showing a line lot of brooms,
"Is an article a great deal better thin yours
(which was true), which I am retailing at
twelve anti a half cents apiece." (Which was
not taw by seven and a half cents).
"Don't care for that," answered Cyrus ;
"your brooms . are cheap enough, but you
can't have mine for less than twenty cents,
anyhow ;" and pretending to be more than
half angry, shouldered his brooms and started
for the door.
The' merchant getting nefvous ever the
loss of a good customer, and fearing that he
might go to Wither store and never return,
said:
'See here, Cyrus, hold on awhile.
give you twenty cents for your blooms, you
will not object to take the price of them out
in goods?"
"No, I don't care if I do," replied dyrui.
"Well as you are an old customer, I will
allow you twenty cents for this lot. Let tne
tisit—twenty-fonr times twenty makes just
four bandied and eighty cents. What kind
of goods will you have, Cyrus?*
"Well, now, John, reckon it don't make
no difference to you what sort of goods I take,

"Oh, no, not at all—not at all," odd the
merchant.
"Well; then, as it don't make any differ
