When'the mind cannot Collect itself;. when the memory

Never extract blood. Blood is the life. By abstract
ing it in painful diseases you ma, occasion the - patient
ease, but remember, this ease is only ; the ,feduction or
lessening, the,,power to feel. And by thus taking .away
nature's tools; you may preventher from fully repairing

have been the sickness of_a few days or weeks into a

told by those who knew that Ihese latter
were by far the strongeit and Insist dan

However, [ was destined soon to have
my eyes open. One afternoon I saw:.a
flock of black ducks fly over the house,
and I was sure they landed on the lake,
so I seized my double barreled gun and
ammunition, and started off. When I
reached the landing, I saw the ducks
away off by the opposite shore. I at
once cut some green . boughs with my.
knife; and having rigged up the'hows
of.a small flat bott'om'ed scow we kept
on purpose for Such work,l jumped.fil
and started off. There was a hole in the
stern through which we could put the
oar, and thus cull the boat without sit
lug up in sight, so from wkere the ducks

ing upon•.water.
I had got near enough for a tarot, and
had drawn in the scull, and was in the
act of taking op my gun, when the ducks
started up. As quickly as possible I
drew one hammer and let drive. I hit
two of
.them ' but they didn't fall into
the water. They fluttered along until
they fell among the tall grass up in the
cove: The Water. Was low, and the place
aaw dry !where they were. I pulled .as
tar as I could, and then gctUtit and wad:.
ed up. I knew very near where one of
the ducks had fallen, and very soon,had
my eyes on it.. As I ran up to take it
I saw tbe head of a black snake pop out
and catch it by the wing. I saw only
the head and neck of the reptil, and had
no idea how large a one it was ; or, if
I had, probably I should have done just
as I did—or I had no ider. of .fearing
h a thing-. . So I just runs and snatch•
es, t ''. birds away. I had left my gun
in tit:, boat, and had notheig to kill the
chap ~ .ith ; but as I took the duck, I
just p I my foot on the thief's neck.

took his head out frontunder mpabout
as quick as a man could comfortably
think. I thought I'd run back to my
bout and get my gun and, try to kid
this fellow, and Lhad just turned for that
purpose, when I. felt something Strike
.My leg as though somebody had-thrown
a rope around. it. I looked down. and
.
found that the ,snake had taken,a turn
around my left leglvith Ida tail; and was
in the act of clearing his body fitimlite
grass. I dropped the duck add gave a
smart kick; but that did not loosen him;
so I tried to put my right foot upon him
and thos drew my left leg away ; but I

I next felt the snake's body working
i't's way up. The turn df the tail was
changed to my thigh, and the coil around
my stomach cenunenced to tighten.—
About:this time •I began to think there
'might-be some serious work, and the
`quickerl took the snake off the better.
So I just grasped him as near the head

I could press the fellow's head down
unde'r my arm, but to get it round sous to

put all my strength into one arm, hat
I could not .do it. I could get it just
about under my airy-pit but here my
strength was applied to a disadvantage,
and I could do no more.

knew the trial was next to useless, for
no one could easily gain the place where
I was, excert with a boat. Yet I call

it amounted to nothing. I might as
