Chaplains of Good Templar Lodges,
and Pastors Favorable to the Pro
gress of the Temperance Reform.
“The People’s Friend” is the organ
of the I. O. G. Templars, in the State
of Georgia.
We hope it may be widely circulated
in South Carolina, Alabama and Miss
issippi.
While aiming as a family paper, to
advance religion and good morals, it
is especially devoted to the cause of
temperance.
The publishers of the paper, and
friends of this good cause desire your
hearty cooperation and support. You
see everywhere the evils of the liquor
traffic, the slime and deadly touch of
“s(rpent.” You are eyewitnesses of
the want and wretchedness entailed
upon innocent and helpless children,
wives and mothers by this traffic.
You see its blighting effect upon the
piety and growth of the churches.
You can do much to stay its progress.
We need a paper, earnest and true in
its consecration to the one object of
rescuing the fallen, and saving others
from falling into the slavery
and love of the drunkard’s appetite.
Will you help us in supplying this
need ?
Write for the paper. Speak a word
in its favor; get up clubs of subscrib
ers. In doing this you will greatly aid
in sustaining the paper and at the
same time, help to carry comfort and
gladness to many dust lat' homes and
sorrowing hearts.

How the Mortal Enemy of the Tarant
ula Captures his Victim.
From the San Diego (Cal.) World.]
The architectural ingenuity, or rather
genius, of the tarantula is a fact long fa
miliar to naturalists. This insect has an
exceptional development of the instinct
which instructs all creatures which are not
protected by nature with a warmth-engen
dering hairy hide to properly house them
selves. The details of the tarantula’s dwel
ling, down even to the matchless mechanism
of the doors of its edifice, have excited the
wonder of all interested in natural history.
The most elaborate inventions in locks and
hinges of vaunted human skill are distanced
by this re- omous insect in the construction
of the door which secures its privacy. But
the road-runner, between which and the
tarantula, a deadly enmity exists, is the
master, as an incident which we are about
to relate will show.
Professor Agassiz, during his recent visit
here exhibited a special desire to be sup
plied with as many specimens as possible
of the road-runner and of the tarantula
killer.
We are not advised as to whether he was
supplied with live specimens of the road
runner bird. It is about the size of a
pheasant; its plumage is not unlike that of
the pheasant family. It has longer legs
and a slenderer neck and body than the
pheasant. It tmsts fur locomotion almost
altogether to its legs, and runs with a swift
ness that would shame a hare or rabbit. It
is susceptible of domestication, and in time
learns to come at the call of those who have
petted it. But it is a hopeless thing for a
stranger to try to approach this lbw!.
It is as sagacious as swift. We were put
in possession of facts by Mr. Jose G. Estu
dillo, which excited our wonder and admi
ration. As we have said, there is enmity
between the road-runner and the tarantula.
The road-runner is as noiseless as rapid.—
It lies in wait for the tarantula, and the
! moment it finds its enemy asleep it ap
proaches noiselessly with a twig of the
prickly cactus. Deftly and stealthily it
goes on piling the prickly pr son around
; the devoted insect, until at last a rampart
■ of the desired bight is pilei up. It then
selects a speciall} - jagged and heavy piece
of cactus aTid drops it on the tarantula. —
■ The last, awakened by the shock, endeavors
’ to rise and make its exit. It is instantly
impaled upon the thorns, and the triumph
of the road-runner is complete.

Thistle and Ropewalk.
• ‘‘Such a mite as I can do no good,” is
the general impression of our boys and ;
i girls when they are urged to do what they
can for the good work. But smaller,
humbler instruments than these our God
has made use of to do great work in this
world.
A great army, many years ago, invaded
Scotland. ’They crept on stealthily over
the border, prepared to make a night attack
on the Scottish forces. ’There lay the camp
all silently sleeping in the starlight, never
dreaming that danger was so near. The
1 Danes, to make their advance noiseless,
I came forward barefooted. But as they
1 neared the sleeping Scots, one unlucky Dane •
! brought his broad foot down squarely on a j
bristling thistle. A roar of pain was the
' consequence, which rang like a trumpet
blast, through the sleeping camp. In a
' moment each soldier had grasped his weap
on ami the Danes were thoroughly routed.
The thistie was from that time adopted us
the national emblem of Scotland.
i By the harbor of New London there was
once a long, old ropcwalk, with a row of
i square window holes fronting the water. —
' In the time of the war a British Admiral
i was cruising off that coast and bad a very
| good chance to enter an 1 destroy the town.
! lie said that he should have done it “if it
hadn't been for that formidable long fort,
whose guns entirely command the harbor.” i
He had been scared oil by the old rope- .
walk.
God has his uses for even the simplest
and humblest of us. Our great business
should be to find out what the Lord would
have us to do, and then do it with all your
, might, and mind, and strength.—A’. I".

Just at the conclusion of a recent circus
performance in a North Carolina town, the
■ clown stepped forward and informed the
vast assembly that they had taken in about
S6OO that day—more money, he ventured
to say than any minister of the gospel in
that county would receive for a year’s ser
•viee. He then plainly told them that a
. large portion of the audience were church
members, who would plead poverty when ,
asked for money to support the gospel, and
severely exposed their inconsistency. A
few Sundays after he preached in the same I
community, and made a strong appeal for
missions, when a collection was taken up
amounting to $438.
