and another stlll. Now the victis..
may make an effort to escape, but IN
vain. The web is fixed-the letters
are strong-the appetite is confirmed.
There is no hope. His life is given for
a prey, and great ransom cannot de-
liver him.


But to return to the spider. All his
designs and plans, from the first mo-
ment that he spins his thread and at
taches it securely, regard only his own
personal benefit. Solitary aud alone
he lives, and spends his life in depri-
wing others Of that which he cannot re-
store. No matter what others may
suffer, he is the gamer. The strug-
giles, and the pains, and the tortures
they undergo are of 10 concern to ham.
Ills object is gain. And is there no
resemblance here! Do not the widow
and fatherIess cry, and the land mourn,
because Of the traffic in ardent spirit,
and do not the vendors shut their ears
But, once more; the spider preys not
upon his own species; he sucks the
blood Of a different race. But to

baneful draught? To men; to hus'
bands; to parents. The consequent
oes Of spiders daily depredations up
on the insect tribe, affect only the in
dividual victim. The effects Of the
spirit dealer extend to a whole circle
Of relatives; affect whole neighbor-
hood, a town, nation, a world, time,
eternity Temp. Recorder.
