IV,, d, July 26.--Ye r< h ei3u l .-Circus of Arartju 1o kn 4th the1tre of aspetaoW or the ag ohthe Ionan th re' than of the19th century. lwild Jeasts were introduced Bucoessiviy~tq the fight in the ai~i ar ' !1liQueen, ther and her- fannly, yerith fliKing and the Duke rR~tanz~ie9s wore present in the roy he first fight was between f a1eof4d several dogs. The wolf -4 Ljookod at fi'stoxcessively frightened, id made selieral leaps to clear the fty iron grating which surrounded " ' e arena. These efforts became des. 9 : e ate when ho saw bound into the circus four poierful dogs, which in a ;;e foWmomons reduced him to such p - ful state tjat it was necessary to iltbdraw-liim. The wolf stood on the dofelsive-he shook off the dogs, w ;but he did not attack them. Next e tored a hyena, against which four , 'ere likewise loosed. One of h o"s distinguished himself great. 1n" iis combat, and several times catered the hyena alone, dragging * 'hum over to the ground, but he was -so punished by the fierce bites of the Swild beast, that his master was fain to enter the arena and withdraw him rom the combat, amid salvos of ap. plause. The next wild beast that ap iiared was a sturdy, surly bear, against whom were launched as many as thirteen dogs. The enemy was ow evidently of a more formidable ind, for the dogs were no longer so eager to grapple witn the object of their- attack, but contented them selves with barking around him in a ng; and when any of the number Sventured into closer quarters, he re ceived a hug and a bite which left 'him apparently lifeless during sever al seconds. The public now loudly called for the intrepid dog who had mauled the hye na." Ahis was the first of the pack who dared to seize the bear with his teeth. The others imitated his example with less pluck, but no effect seemed to be produced by any of the assailants upon the shaggy beast, and the bra. vest of them seemed baffled by the thickness of his coat, which defied the gripe of his adversaries. The last act of the spectacle was that which had more particularly attracted crowds by railroad to Aranjuez. The fight was now between a lion and a null. The first was one of the finest of his species. No sooner was he loosed into the arena, and espied the bull, then he made towards him at once, and attacked him with fury. But the lion only succeeded in seiz. ing the tail of his horned foe, by which he clung on with his claws. The bull, thus attacked from behind, was unable to defend himself by his horns, but presently, the lion having bitten his tail close off to the rump, thie bull turned on him, and frantic with pain, charged with tremendous fury, tossing the lion, notwithstanding it size, into the air, which so damped ae pluck of the. latter that it became alli once clear on which side victory would be declared. The lion sat dowp. dejected and moaning with pain, K '~iile the bull charged him several times 'in succession, instigated by the crowd outside the grating, more than by his own will, for as soon as the lion ~was hors de combat, the bull sought no longer to molest him, and would h~vo left him alone, but for the stim *ulation which was applied to him by the spectators. Thle lion was killed. A Painuful Case. An account of a recent trial at the Old Bailey, in London, Lord Chief Justice Tindal presiding. George Hammond, a portrait pain ter, was placed at the bar, to be tried on an indictment found against him by the grand jury for wilful murdler, witl1 malice aforethought, of George Baldwin, a rope-dancer and a mounte bank. The prisoner was a man of ~'middle height, but slender for_. -:' ils eyes were blue and mild. Hlis w.hole bearing gave evidence of sub dued sadness and melancholy resig nation. Ho was forty-one years of age, had a soft voie, and his appear. ince and manner bore testimony to igging a man' of distinguished ed -ucation, n 'spite of the poverty of his dress. On-being called on to plead, the prisoner admitted that ho did kill Baldwin, and he deplored the act, ad ding, however, that on his 80oul and donseeience lhe did not L:elieve himself guilty. Thereupon, a ~jury was em pannelled to try the prisoner. The indictment was then read to the jury, and the act of killing admitted, the government rested their ease, and * the prisoner was called upon for his defence. The prisoner then addressed hime sellf to the court and jury : 'My lord,' said lhe, 'my justifica tion. is to -be found in a recital of the facts. Three years ago, I lost a drughter, then four years of age, the selpinorial loft of my beloved wife, ho'nif it liitdYpleased God to recal to Himself. I lost her; but I (lid not Shor die, as I had seen her mother d he disappeared-she was ate me. Sho6wfsa charming chi ,4but fori 1r'Ihad nobody in~ the word to love me. Gentlemen wha I have suffered cannot be de sried,'--soeu cannot comnrhend it. ' '6 r4d d in advertisi1iiIi r tlesaBoaroelA overythiig I posi rhture, picturea, veng .my elo it . All have been ;sold. Fdr thre years, ad on foot: thave sought for.mly child, in all the cities ad all the villages in the three king doms. As soon' as by painting por; trits I succeeded in gaining a lttle .mney, I eturned to London to re. commence my advertisements in the newspapers. At length, on Friday, the 14th of April is t, I crossed the Smithfield cattle market. Iii the centre of the 'market a troupe of mountebanks were performing their feats. Among thorn a child was turn. ing on its head, its legs in the air and its head supported by a halberd. A ray from the soul of its mother must at that moment have penetrated my own, for me to have recognised my child in that condition. It was my poor child. I1er mother would per haps have precipitated herself towardb her, and locked herself in her arms. As for me, a veil passed over my eyes. I threw myself upon the chief of the rope-dancers. I know not how it was; 1, habitually gentle, even to weakness, seized him by his clothes--I raised him in the air, then dashed him to the ground---then again. le was dead. Afterwards I repented what I had done. At the moment I regretted that I was only able to kill but one.' Lord Chief Justice Tindal.-These are not Christian sentiments. flow can you expect the court and jury to look with favor on your defence, or God to pardon you, ifyou cannot for. give? Prisoner.--'I know, my lord, what will be your judgment, and that of the jury, but God has already pardoned m1e; I feel it in my heart. You know not-I knew not then-the whole extent of the evil that man had done mne.-W hen some compassionate people brought me my daughter in my prison, she was no longer my child; she was no longer pure and angelic as formerly; she was corrupted, body and soul her manner, her language, infamous, like those of the people with whom she had been living. She did not recognise me, and I no longer recognised her muyse.F.. Do you comprehend now? That man bad robbed me of the love and soul of my child. And I-I have killed him but once.' Foreman.-"My ford, we have agreed in our verdict.' Chief Justice.-'I understand you gentlemen, but the law must take its course. I must sum up the case, and then ycu will retire to deliberate.' The chief justice having summed up the case~ the jury retired, and in an instant after, returned into the court with the verdict, 'Not guilty.' On the discharge of Hammond, the sheriff was obliged to surround him wvith an escort.-The crowd of women and mnen was immense. Trhe womern were determined to carry him all'in triumph. TIhe crowd followed tim all the way to his lodgings with deafenings shouts and huzzas. Thae spider. Few insects fall more frequently .inder our observation than spiders. WVhether we wander in the forests, ramble iu the fields, or wvalk in the gardens, this little creature is before us, wveaving its delicate web, or slyly watchinig for its prey. Early ini the morning, the labor of this industrious animal may be seen in the multi tude of silken net-works spread over the grass, on plant and shrub, and across the un-~ frequented path, all studded with dew. drop diamonds. We are aware that spiders excite feelings of disgust, and sometimes of fear, in many piersons; but if' examined wiha littlte attetion, the-re will be found in their habits, and connected with' them, much that is interestinig, and which maiy well awaketi our adoiriation und even astonishment. Now, let us lay aside these antipathies, aind observe thme wonderful power and skillful work mnacshiip o'f this interesting little animal. Behold how lie glides along the ceil ing, or over the window panes. See him setndinig Ihis web from tree to tree, high above our heads, or from banck to banik across the rapid stream! Now watch the insect traveller, as lhe hiast. ens over his ca ble bridge with speed anid safet y! Next turni aside for a while to see the skilful workman spreading his I wheel-like net. Hlis own limbs are rules and compcasses, to measure the distances of the spokes anid circles. WVhen a suitable place has been sc. lected, the outlines of thme net, or web), are ormned by fixing threads from leaf to sprig, anid encircling a considerable spiace. The outline is text filled up by lines diverging like spokes to a wheel. To do this. the spider fastens a thread to some conivenienit part of the outlinie, which it then traverses till it reaches the opposite p'oinit to that where tihe thread was fastened. During this process the thread, wvhich is to bo stretched across the space en. clnsed, is supported by one of the spi. der's hind feet, so as to prevent it from resting otn the thread along which the spinner walks, and thus becoming glued to it. WVhen this cross thread has beeni made fast, the workmnt goes to the midldle of it, wvhere it fastemns another, and carries it to the nearest part of the outlinie, and secures it. Fromi the same spot it now carries another thread to the outline, amil then another, and so on, until twenty or thiir ty spokes are completed; thena,, proceed ing to the centre, is IArmis a rimng wvhich is fastened to each spoke. Outside of this is placed another ring, and these are encircled by others, each but a small space~ from thle other, but increas. ing in the intervat as the circles ap, proapih the circumference. A fler finishing thee circs.th n. 'ii1 -M " ,y .. 1 l r rettlig to. he centre,. acrd bites fl' he point a oh 'all the spoksere united, so as to malt their secu'rity'de pond on the circular.ythreads alone, while it renders the .lqtpnore elastic. In this central position, the insect often stations itself to watchfor prey, but ,more commonly it retires to a cell which Ibuilds near the margin of the web, 1id there remains unobserved. The signal of a capture is commu. nidifed to its retreat by the vibrations of the threads from the centre of the net. When thus informed that any prey is taken, the spider rushes from its hiding place and secures its victim. The thread of the spider like that of a silk-worm and other catterpillars, is formed from a glutinous secretion, drawn out from the body of the insect. If a spider be minutely examined, sev.. eral teats or spinners, will be observed, each containing numerous tubes or openings. From each of these tubes an extreme ly slender thread proceeds, which- im. mediately unites with the other threads from the same spinner. Thus from each spinner there issues a compound thread, and these unite into one larger one, fot ming the thread of the spider's web. It is estimated that there are one thousand of these openings, and that a single spider's thread is composed of a thousand fibres. How delicate must be the cordage of such a thread, and how perfect the in. struments used in producing it? And how susceptible of the finest touch must be the fingers which handle it? Yet these are none other than the claws of the spider's feet. With these it guides and arranges the glutinous threads as they are drawn from the spinner. Spiders have eight legs; seven of these have the lower side of the claws toothed. These enable the crea. ture to take hold of any thread, to guide it, to pull it, to draw it out, or to ascer tain what it caught in its net, and to suspend itself from its slender cord at pleasure. On the legs and especially on the last three joints, moveable spines, or spurs, may be observed. These can be raised or depressed at the will of the insect, and are probably used as a kind of fingers. The number of fibres which compose a single thread contributes greatly to its strength. Rope-making is an imitation of the spider's thread. Suspension bridges, supported by a bundle of small wires, are also constructed on the same principle. The ends of the spider's threads are spread out, and thus made to grasp more firmly the object to which it is attached. The web of the spider is formed by a double series of spines which are on the first joint of one pair of feet. These spines are used like a carding apparatus in manufactories, the lower series combing the reeled web from the spinneret, and the upper series disen. gaging the web froni them. The threads, which serve only to form the web for a ent're to catch its prey, are very f ragile, and not as strong as those used to enclose the eggs, neither are they as strong as those which are stretched from one point to another, as the highway of the insect. It is said, that when spiders become very old, and the fluid of which their web is composed is entirely dried up, bo that they cannot spin, they will go to the habitation of sonie young spider, take possession of its web, and drive it away to weave another. Spiders are very attentive to their webs, and often clean the dust from them by shaking them with their feet. If .it becomes partly destroyed, they patiently go at work to repair it. They are very industrious and persevering. An interesting auiocdote is rela'ed in the life of Robert Bruce, who became one of the kings of Scotland, illustratiung the perseverance of this creature. ile had been at the head ofan arnmy lighting against the Iling~ish, and bee,, six times conipetely conque red in battle. lie had taken shelter ini a rude hovel, almost discouraged, and as lie lay on his rough couch, he saw a spider trying o extenid its web from one beam to anothmer. Six times it drew out its slender bread, andI failed in its attempts. Still he patient creature was not dIis: ouraged; it tried the seventh time,i id succeeded. 'W~ell,' exclained the warrior, 'I tave received a useful lesson from. the pihder. l'erseverance will overcome fliceulties. I will iry a gain.' ile did try ugain, gained the victory, mid became the king of Scotland. Let us, too, learn a lesson fiom the upider, aiid plersevere in every good vork. Time Sevens Claildreuu. The following beautiful gem is ~rom the German of Kaummuacher: Early in. the morning, as day be ;an to dawn, the devout father of a atmily arose with htis wife from the :ouch., and thanked God for the day, md for their refreshing slumber. TIh~e glow of morning beamed into the little chamber where their seven children lay in their beds asleep. They then gazed at the children one by one, andl~ the mother said, ~'hey are sevetn in number; alas! it will be hard for us to fmtd them food.' Thtus sighed the mother. For there was a fatmine ini the land. Butt the fathier stiled. 'See, (10 they not 1ie there, all the seven? And they have all red cheeks, atid the beams of the morning stream over them, so that they appear love lier than ever, like seven blooming roses. Mothera, that shows us that Hie who creates the morning and sends us the sleep, is true and uin changeable.' As they stepped from the chaum bers they saw at thQ door fourteen shoes in a. row. erowine smalr and smaller, two, byA or each child; the moller A em, and when she aw th' e ere so ma ny she wept. hut the father 'Mother, why dost thou weep? Iave not all the seven received sound and active feet? Why then should we be anxious about that which covers them? If the .children have confidence in us, should we not have confidence in Him who can do more than we can comprehend?' 'See, His sun rises! Come, then, like it let us begin our day's work, with a cheerful countenance.' Thus they spoke and toiled at their labors, and God blessed the works of their hands, and they had enough to spare, they and their sev en children; for faith gives strength and courage, and love elevates the soul.
