.? i .j i '_Mag What I Live For. BY G. ti. BANKS. I live for those who love nie; . For those I know are true: For thc Heaven that^milcs abovo me, ''And awaits my spirit, too; For the human ties-that biud mo; For the task by Coil assigned me; For the bright hopos left behind me, And tho good that I can do! I live to learn their story, Who've suffered for my sake; To emulate their glwry, Aud follow in their wake: Bards, martyrs, patriots, sages The noblest of all ages Whose deeds erown history's pages, And Time s great volume make! I live to hr.? thc season, By gifted minds foretold, When men shall rule by reason, And not alone by gold: Wh^n man to man united. And every wrong thing righted. The whole world shall be lighted As'Eden was of old! I live to hold communion . With all that is Divine; To feel tlien- is a union ' Twixt Nature's heart and mine; To profit by affliction; Reap truths from fields of fiction; Grow wiser from conviction. And fulfill each grand design. I live for those who love me -* For those who know me true; For the Heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too; ? For tho wrong that needs resist anec; For the cause that lacks assistance; For the future in thc distance, And the good that I can do! THE SPIDER'S PARLOR.-There is a j little spider in Australia that might, with groat propriety, ask the little fly to walk into bis parlor, for he, has a very neat little parlor, with a real door that optais and shuts on a hinge. We ihiuk there is no other animal besides man that can make a hinge. It seems wonderful that trod bas given this knowledge to a little, insect we commonly look, down upon as the most insignificant. There are none pf bis works we can fully despise. "All Thy works praise Thee, O Lord." A gentleman discovered ono of these little underground spider houses* and made tho acquaintance of the owner, and came; often to sec him, so as to become acquainted with his habits. He brought him insects for his food everv dayton! made a certain tap on tlie ?loor, which tho spider soon learned to understand. Then he would come up and push open the door, winch was much like tlie lid of a box, and como out to get his breakfast. After he had received it, ht? walked back into his house and shut down the lid very carefully. The inside was made of web and earth, ?md was as smooth as satin. He leaves his little door ajar at times, anti when some silly, peeping insect comes peer? ing round it for curiosity, "ITp jumps the cunning spider, Ami fiercely holds him fast." He does not take him up, but down "his little winding stair,"' and, alas*! "he nev?>r comes ont again." CoMPincx l?ELATioNsniT*.-A corres? pondent of Harper's Monffdy is in? volved in domestic difficulties. He, writes: "1 got acquainted with a joting widow, Avho lived with lier stop daughter tithe same house. I mar? ried tht' v idow; my father fell shortly after it in love with the step-daughter of my wife, and married her. My wife became the mother-in-law and alst) the daughter-in-law of my own father; my wife's step-daughter is my step-mother, and I am the step-father of my mother-in-law. My step-mo? ther, who is the step-daughter of my, wife, has a boy; ho is naturally my step-brother, but because he is the son of mv wife's step-daughter, so is my wilt'; the grand-mother of the little boy, and 1 am the grand-father of my step-brother. My wife has also a boy; my step-mother is consequently the step-sister td' my boy, ami is also his grand-mother, because he is the child of my step-sou; and my father is brother-in-law. of my son, who is the son of my step-mother; I am the brother-in-law td' my mother, my wife is thc aunt ?d' her own son, my son is the grand-son of my lather, anti I am my own grand-father." "My dear sir," said Drumsticks to a young married gentleman, who had just been made father to a bouncing baby, "my dear sir, eau you bil me in what your present position varies from that of tht: same individual one year ago?" ''Can't say that I eau, Drumsticks. " "I will teil you. One. year i:go you were a sighing lover-now you aro a loving sir?!" ?j TYF.T) ANTS.-Scatter a few elder leaves on the shelves of cupboards nod in closets, and their odor will destroy and keep away tlie red ants, which arr sometimes so troublesome. So wv. arc informed by one who has tried it. CAFETAL PUNISHMENT* FOB FALLING ASLEEP AT PKAYKU.-A singular death occurred recently ut Nottingham, England, which is thus related: A yoting man, thc son of a widow, retired to rest about ll o'clock. About half an hour afterwards, his mother went into his bed-room to leave him a pair of cleun stockings, when she saw ker son kneeling on the bed, with his hands clasped, apparently engaged in prayer. Hound his neck there was a scarf, which appeared to be fastened to something over his head, and there was an open Bible, on the table by the bed-side. At lirst, she thought he WHS at prayer, but upon seeing the scarf, she became alarmed, and imme? diately cut the scarf in two with her son's pocket knife, which lay upon the table, when he fell forward oft the table and died. At the inquest held upon the body, his mother stated that she believed he had fallen asleep while at prayer. He was" in the habit of doing so, and she believed that he had fastened the scarf round his neck tc prevent him from doing so. Thc curate of St. John's Church, in Not? tingham, stated that the deceased wa? in his choir, and had asked him if it were sinful to fall asleep while at prayer. Witness recommended him to use a form, and stand while repeat? ing it. "Death from strangulation.'
