The following incident, which happened to tlie vnitcr long ycata ago, it of such a thriMii'.g l-ature as to catise tiio b!ood to run cold in one's veins at the bare mention of it. Tlie account is founded on facts, and cm vouched for by witnesses of un doubted integrity : While Ffinnteiing out one morn' ' through an orange i.rovo bordetmg on of the bayous of Louisiana, and where the warning a"1 nttle of that most veuo mous an-1 deadly species of tho i cj tile tribe are uot unfj e-iiu utiy beard, I rune ujxm an inviting shady nook, and being weary and fatigued by excess and tho heat of the ?uu, I sought repose by stretching myself at length upon tho giws, and while lying there, dreaming day dieam and being re freshed by gentle breezes, d-ep scented with tl e fumes of the luscious Louisiana orange, f naturally yielded tothe seductive influeiie- f Morpheus, into hose arms I grace f.iVi y resigned mys-elf. I did not lie long thus, however, before I was awakened by the sense of a cold pres sure about my neck. I glanced downward to ascertain the caae of my diUn bsu.ee, -w hen, oh, horror 1 what met, my gaze but a huge rattlesnake, lying with, his head resting as complacently and as serenely as one can imagine, upon the back of my head, which I had carelessly thrown across my breast: the rest of bis IxKly being drawn over my tdiouldcr and wound around my neck.' "ilia piercing black eyes "looked daggers" into mine, find the diabolical ex pression of his countenance judicially look ed, if it did not say, in as many wouls: "The ame is up with yon, now, wj L r-," which K me was painfully too &pp-u';--ut just then to entertain tho least hcpi c!" escape. Fortunately, I displayed gi sat presence of mind, and 1 kuew that l- Lllr or to make an audible noise was install t death to me. I thought that while the.-e was life there was hope at least petting my wits ij work. I began devisi',:?' themes b' which I might make a r.o-ip ('"ff"'-on hi-ssn.ikt:.hip and eiTect an escape fiom .v ,,m i'c';u;: " doom.

Compression of any part of the body should be avoided at all times, but especially during sleep. The lighter the bed-clothes are the more refreshing and sweet will be the repose. For this reason, com forters made of delaines, or other thin woolen material, and stuffed with wool, are far preferable to those made of cotton, and warmer even than blankets, since the fibers of wool are wider apart, and the same weight goes farther ia retaining the warmth of the body. . - CRAWFORD HOUSE, EBKNSKritO, PA.
