The Presbyterian Cliiirch in North Carolina
has long labored under a serious disadvantage
from the want of a journal to advocate her
claini.s and represent her interests. It is esti
mated tliat only 1000 Presbyterian Weeklies
are taken in the bounds of our three Presbyte
ries. We have 13,000 Communicants, and it
is safe to infer that there are 30,000 Presby
terians in principle in tlie State. Onr Synod
stands fifth in the Union in point of numbers,
and her membership is greater tlian that of
any Synod South or West of Pennsylvania.
Our sister States on the North and South,
neither of which has a membership so large as
ours, publish tlie Central, and tlie Southern
Presbyterian, for the benefit of their people.
The time has come when the Presbyterian
Chnrcli in North Carolina should likewise do
her duty to her children, it is a conceded and
important fact, that hundreds of our members
will take a State piijier who will take no other.
The Paper is needed to be the organ of our
Synod and Presbyteries— to elevate and en
lighten the piety’of our membership by ditfasing
evangelical knowledge—to promote the cause
of Education—to develope the talents of our
Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment of
our people to the soil and sanctuaries of tlicir
own State.
If our Church in other States, and other
Churches in this State, can supply their mem-'
bers with a religious journal, why may not we?
Are North Carolina Presbyterians inferior in
talent, energy and patriotism to their neighbors
on the North or South, or to Christians of
other denominations at home? Witli the
same or better opportunities of accomplishing
this work, shall we leave it undone? In the
language of one of onr most able and useful
Ministers, an adopted son of onr State, “It
ought to have been undertaken 20 years ago,
but it is not too late to begin to do right.”
In the last two or three months, a fund of
about $5000 has been subscribed as a perma
nent capital. At a meeting of the contributors
held at Greensborough on the I4th of May,-—
Rev. A. Baker, Chairman,—the Papea was un
animously located at Fayetteville, under the
name and title of the North Caroli.v.v Pkf-.s-
BYTERi.vx. Rev. TVin. N. Mebane and Ixev,
George McNeill were elected Editors: Ilev.
.Messrs. George McNeill, Wm. N. Mebane, A.
Baker and C. H. Wiley, and Messrs. George
McNeill, Sr., John H. Cook and David Mur
phy were appointed an E.vecntive Committee,
to establish the Paper and manage its business
affairs.
It is our wish and design to make the Nop''J
Carouka Presbyterian a journal of tjie
class, equal to tlie best in the country in typo
graphical a))/yearance and in adaptfifiofi to ic
wants of oar ChWhew It-’columns will afford
the Iatc.«tintelliff^.cc, both foreign and doines-
tic, and special eare^ slli be taken to give a full
and accurate summary of State news. The
name of the Paper is designed to be an expo
nent of its character and contents. iroui con
viction it will advocate the conservative, or-
thodo.x’. Old School doctrines and order of the
Church. , . XT
Oar first appeal is to our own people to N
C Presbyterians; Whilst we rely confidently
upon their favor, we trust that the native sons
of North Carolina wiio liaYft-Jound homes in
other States, and the adopted ciUMO.? of our
State "ho form so important an elefflUht in our
Ministry and membership, will take a deep
interest in this enterprise, and give it then
hearty support.
Terms: $2 per annum in advance, or on de
livery of the first number; $2 50 in six months
$3 at the end of the year. To clubs of 25 or
more, paying in advance and when the Paper
is sent te one address, a discount of 10 per
cent, will be allowed. Our Ministers and
Elders are earnestly de.sired to act as Agents,
and all others friendly to the cause will please
assist in procuring as many subscribers as possi
ble, and forward the names, by August 1st, to
this Office. As soon as 1500 subscribers are
obtained, tho first number will be issued. If a
faithful and vigorous effort is made in the next
two months by those Hho take a lively interest
in this work, wo will without doubt, be able to
begin the publication at the end of tliat^tinie
wi^ a paying subscription list of at lease 3000.

THE SPIDER ASD TUE S.AAKE,
AsroxismxG fe.vt of .\ hofse si-iiiEn,
It would seem that there i.s no living thing
so obnoxious as not to find some admirers.
What creatures so repulsive as rats and spi
ders? Yet the London Quarterly finds sonie-
thing beautiful and even loveable iu the former
and Dr. Asa Fitch, in Harper’s Monthly, la
bors to show that the latter “delicate little
objects’’are worthy of our esteem and adniira.
tioii. lie denies that their bite is fatal to any
j save insects, and extols their agility, adroit
ness, sagacity and heroism as wortliy of all
I praise. In support of tlicse views, he tells the
following curious story concerning a lieroic
spider who captured a snake. The affair came
off last summer HI the store of Charles Cook, in
the village of Havana, Chemung county, N.
y., and is attested hy the lion. A. B. Dickin
son, of Corning, “who himself witnessed the
plienouienon, as did more than a linndred other
persons.”
All ordinary looking spider of a dark color,
its body not larger than that of a common
bouse tty, Imd taken up its residence, it ap
pears, on the under side of a shelf beneath the
counter of Mr Cook’s store. What may wc
suppose was the surprise and consternation of
this little animal on discovering a snake about
a foot long selecting for its abode the floor
underneath, only two or three spans distant
from its iicst. It was a common silk snake,
which, perhaps, had been brought into the
store niisecn io a quantity of saw-dust with
which the floor had been recently “carpeted.”
The .spider was well aware, no doubt, tbat it
wovld inevitably fall a prey to this horrid moti-
ster the first time it shfiiild incautiously ven
ture witliin its reach. NVe sliould cxjiect tliat
to avoid .such a frightful doom, it would for
sake its present abode and seek a more secure
retreat elsewhere. But it is not imjirobabie
that a brood of its eggs or young was secreted
near tlic spot, whicli the parent foresaw would
fall a prey to this monster if they were aban
doned by tlieir natural guardian and protector.
Wc can conceive of no other motive wliich
should have induced the spider .so pertinacioinsly
to remain and defend that particular s|iot at
the imminent risk of her own life, when she
could so easily have fled and estaUished herself
in some secure corner elsewhere. But how,
wc may well ask, was it possible for sncli a
weak, tender little creature to combat siicii a
powerful, mail-clad giant? What power bad
she to do anything which could subject the
monster to even the slightest iucouveiiience or
molestation? Her ordinary resort, that of fet.
tering and binding her victim by tlirowing hv
threads of cobweb around it, it is plain, ir'-uld
be of no more avail licre till! 11 the c'Y'IS upon
the limbs of the tinsboru A ware tliat
her accustomed mode of was iisele.ss,
liow did she acquire 9”^ .sagacity
requisite for dcv“’’>!? anotlier, adapted so ex
actly to depending upon
jlijj piracture and habits of the serpent to aid
rendering it successful? How was she able
to perceive that it was in her power to wind a
loop of her threads around this creature’s tliroat,
despite of all his endeavors to foil her in tliis
work—a loo]) of sufficient strength to hold him
securely, notwithstanding liis strugglc.s and
writhings, until by her tiickle-like power she
could gradually hoist him up from the floor,
thus litorally hanging him by the neck imtil he
was dead? for this was the feat whicli tliis
adroit little heroine actually performed—a feat
beside which all the fabled exploits of Hercules
in overpowering lions and .serpents and dragons
sink into utter insignificance! And wlio ean
say Unit iu tlio planning and execution of this
stupendous aeliievement there was not fore
thought, reasoning, a careful weighing of all
the difficulties and dangers, and a clfar percep
tion in tho mind of this little creature that she
possessed tho ability to accomplish what slie
undertook; in sliort an exercise.of faculties ofa
much higher order than the mere instinct which
is commonly supposed to guide and govern
these lower animals in their movements?
By wlial artifice the spider was able in tlie
first of its attack to accomiilish what it did^
we can only conjecture, as its work was not
di.scovcred until the most difficult and daring
part of its feat had been performed. AVhen
first seen it had placed a loop around the ma k
of the serpent, from tlie top of wliich a single
thread was carried upivard and attached to the
under side of the shelf, wliereby the liead of
the serpent was drawn up about two indies
from the floor. Tbc snake was moving around
and around incessantly in a circle as large as
its tetlier would allow, wholly unable to get
its head down to the floor or to withdraw it
from the noose, while the heroic little ."pider,
exulting no doubt-in the succe.s.s of its i xploit,
which was now sure beyond a pcradventiirc,
was ever and anon passing down lo the loop
and lip to the shelf, adding thereby an addi
tional strand to the thread, -jach o! whicii new
strands being lightly drawn, dev:ited the hciul
of the snake giiulualiy more and more.
Blit the most curious and skillful purls ol
its performance isyct lobe told. When il wa.^
in the net of rmining down tiie lliread to liie
loop, the readi r will perceive it was pos.sible
for tlic snake, by Inniing Ids head veriieiilly
upward, to .snap at and seize the .spider in Id:,
mouth. This had no doubt been repeatedly
attempted in the earlier part of the nailliet;
but instead of ealchiiig the .'pider, his siiakesliip
thereby had only ennghl himself in an additiom.l
triqi. The spider jirobably by watebing eueh
opponiiidly when tlie mouth of the snake had
thus been turned towards her, adroitly witli her
hind legs, as when tlirowing a tlircad around a
Hy, had tlirovvn one thread after another over
the mouth of the snake, so tliat he was now
pcrfeetly muzzled hy a series of llirends plneedi
over it vertically, and the.se were held Iron:
being pushed asunder by auotlier series o!
tlireads placed liorizontaliy, as my iaformiinl
states lie particularly observed. No muzzle o:
wire or wicker work for the moutliof an animal
could be woven with more artistic rcgularily
and perfection; and the snake, occasional!;
making a de.speratc attempt to open his mouth,
would merely put these threads upon a stretch.
The siiakeicoiitinued his gyrations, his gait
becoming rather slow, liowevcr, from weakness
and fatigue; and the spider continued to move
down and up ihieoi'd, gradually shoiteniiig it,
until at last, when drawn upward so far that
only two or three inches of the end ot his tail
touched the floor, the snake cxiured about six
days after be was first discovered.
A more lieroie feat than tbat wbicli Uii-;
little spider performed is probably nowUere
upon record—a snake a foot in length hung by
a common Bjiider! Truly, the race is not to
the swift, nor is the battle to the strong! And
this phenomenon may .serve to indicate to us
that the intelligence with whicli the Creator
has endowed the humblest, feeblest of his creii-
tnres, is ample for enabling them to triumph in
any emergency in which He places them, if
they but exercise the faculties he has given
them. It is only the slothful, coivardly, timor
ous, that fail, and they fail not so much before
tlieir enemies as before their own supinencss.
TemUiinc FaDcirsa
One of the strongest of which wc know, a.s
belonging exclusively to the species of the gcnu.s
homo, is tlie mania for turning some portion of
their house into a storeroom of splendid and
unused furniture, which apjiears to be kcj'i.
merely to look at. Tlic costliest furniture their
husband’s purses can achieve is selected ami
carefully stored in this sacred room, and a-
fjoefnlly locked in. “Cliiirley” and the “baby
arc allowed only distant, and rare glimpses of
the enchanted region. Even “papa’s” mmWy
boots are forbid entrance acrosK the charmed
threshold. Here arc eternally concealed Iiixii-
rions sof.i.s, carefully clothed iu brown hollaiid,
elegant cliairs iu ditto, planted stiffly agaius!
the walls; a forbidding looking centre table, on
which arc arranged, by square rule, a few books
intended only to be looked at, not read; some
sliining gilt frames tlie pictures of which arc
dimly visible tlirongh the darkened windows,
and innumerable mantel and other ornament?,
with the mo.s.sy carpet, tvlicre all sorts of kal-
e;do.scope fancies are struggling in unbroken
twiliglit, complete the funereal appointments of
this room, which, like Bluebeard’s “blue cliani-
her,” is tlie forbidden ii|iartmcut of the bouse
In this room is no heart-waniith no humanizing
influence that .shall remind yon of the joys of
tlie domestic hearth, none of that easy,
carele.s.s disjiosition of social articles of every
day ii.'-e which endears one sympathetically to
the spot culled home. All is stiff, soleimi, coin
and forbidding. A grand display of furnituri'
too nice to use, and useless ornaments—too
elegant to be touched. Those who fnrni.sh the
means to piircliase the furniture so watchfully
guarded, and to pay llic rent of the scaler
rooms, may be a little inquisitive sometimes in
to the utility of siicli a freak on the part of tlicir
better halves; but they are told the room i:
rc.scrved for that mysterious jiarty entitlef
“company,” and as these lords ol tlie creation
arc in tlic main good iiaturcd and indulgen!
to their wive.s’ mimcrous little eccentricitie-
they are easil}’ pacified, and the closed forbii -
ding furniture wareroom continues clo.sed and
forbidding, as well as the wife’s e.special hobb;.
A Ilalianf Editor.
One of our coleniporarics, elucidating th
“Woman Question,” says: “I confess, in an
sincerity, that I have never yet seen an ugly
woniiiii. Tills may ajipcar paradoxical, an:
still it is the jiuro truth. 1 never Cud any wo
man entirely ugly. 1 enlarged upon this idi :■
once before an audience of women. One wlm
was extremely flat-nosed said to me: ‘Sir, 1
defy you not to find me ugly.’ ‘Yon, mauani,’
I replied, ‘are an angel fallen from Heaven,
only you have fallen on your nose.’ Probaln
she did not believe me, and ba;, ir.aictaim .
against tiie whole worid that slic is ug’y.'’
