When I first went into the country, near the
Bay of Natal, things were very different to what
they, are now ; there were not nearly so many .
Caffres in the country, and there were no white
men except our own party. Game was plenty ;
and many a monster which has now sought more
secure retreats, was then to be seen in the neigh
borhood of the bay. I built myself a bee-hive
shaped hut, like one of the Caffres, on the open
ground, near the Umbilo, and cultivated a little
piece of ground near it. I had lived alson't three
weeks in this place, when it Hottentot, Plache,
ediheto ibis one day in a great fright, end told
me that he had seen the "biggest snake thatever
was;" that it had crossed the Umbilo rivet, and
entered some long reeds about half a mile from
my lint. lie said that the snake's bend was on
the land on one side while the tail was on the
other side of the Umbilo. Now, this river is not
very broad, but if 'ilbat the - Men told me was
true, the snake must have been over thirty feet
in length. .I know that a species of boa-con
stricter was to be found here, for I bad shot one
sixteen feet long, as I was coming from UM old
colony to the bay.
I did not trouble myself to look after the soaks,
for there was a large swamp with long reeds ex
tending for more than a mile slang the banks of
this river, with cover enough to conceal five hun
dred snakes. About a month after Plache's in
terview with the boa, tbere.fell a vest quantity
of rain, and the river rose and flooded the whole
of this swamp. The nearest piece of dry land to
the river was the little rising ground on which
my hut stood. One evening during the time that
the flood was out, I came back from shooting just
as the sun was setting. I had shot alinek, which
I had found out in the open ground, behind the
Berea Bush. Placbe was with me, and I left him I
and a Caffre to bring in the buck, whilst' return.
ed home, alone, to prepare a fire, and get re tidy
the cooking pots. I noticed that the water was
very high, and had not left more than ltle feet t
clear round My hut, which was, however, still ten I
or twelve feet above the level of the flood. I
placed my gun outside, against the hut, and
crawled into the door of the kraal. You must
knol that the only light which enters these
buildings is by the doorway, so when I blacked
up this, the only aperture, the interior was rather
dark. I knew that my flint and steel box were
stuck up in the thatch of the roof, and. these I
could use to Obtain a light, in ease the embers
were not smouldering, in the centre of the hut,
where I usually kept a fire.
I could not see a sign - of a spark amongst the
ashes, when I first entered the hut, and as the
evening was closing in, I thought I might have
difficulty in making a fire, as the dew was so
heavy that all the wood became damp, even in- I
side the but ; so I lay down, end blew amongst
the while wood ashes, to try and rouse a flame. i
Whilst. I was thus occupied-, I fancied I heard
something move amongst the blankets that lay by I
the side of the hut. I looked at the spot, and
there to my astonishment, saw a gigantic snake,
which appeared nearly as large round as my bo
dy. The animal was coiled up amongst my bed-
ding, but had about three feet head and neck I
stretehed'ent and pointed at me; its forked tongue
now and again shooting out some inch or two I
from its mouth. The instant that I saw the mon
ster, I jumped to my feet, and looked round for a
weapon, but there was none at band. My gun I
bad Placed outside; large knife I had left ;
with Plache, to enable him to cut up the buck, I
and in fact, I was unarmed. A. cold shudder
canoe over me when I realised the state of affairs;
the door of the but Was ohly two feet high, and
to escape, therefore, I must crawl out and I felt
certain that if I stooped down, the snake would
instantly dart at me. •
I was not at all aware what power the boa.con
stricter might possess; I believed that a monster
like this would make short work of me. I might :
fight and struggle, but unarmed what could I do.
How long I stood looking at the snake, I do not
know, but it could nothave been seconds, although
the time appeared minutes when suddenly I re
membered that my Claffre had, a few days before
asked me to allow him to place an assagai in my
hut, because the night dew caused the blade to !
rust, when the weapon was exposed. :Here, then
was a hope for me, for I knew that the man had
not taken away the assagai with him.
I scarcely dared to take my eyes off the snake
lest the brute should dart at me; but giving a
glance round the upper part of the hut, a I saw the
}sandhi Of the assagai protruding from the thatch,
and nearly within ply reach of nie. I knew that
the instant I moved the snake would sprint
me. t hoirever, raised my hand and arm very
slowly towards the assegai, and at length, by
bending over a little, managed to grasp the han
dle. As I did so the snake, which bad gradually
uncoiled during my movements, darted towards
me, L jumped aside and pulled out the broad-blad
ed assegai, which had been sharpened very keen,
but the snake like lightning, and although he
had missed his first dart, recovered himself in
tently and sprung at me again. Before 'could
make a cut at him, his teeth caught in my leath
er trowsere, and he thus obtained a strong hold
and with a pull as sudden as his lunge, he dragg
ed my feet from under me, end brought me to the
ground ; a big fold of his body rolled over his
head, and fell upon My legs, while it weighed me
to the ground as if a loaded wagon were on them.
He managed all this in a very short time; Mit
was not idle, for I kneW that if he could once
manage to press doWn my chest, or my arms, he
might kill me.
Now, the feeling that first came upon me was
certainly not a pleasant one, because I was with
out a weapon id as soon as I grasped the as !
sagai, I knew I was safe; consequently when he
really attacked me, I felt as though it was apiece
of impudence on his part, fot I never expected
the affair would have been as dangerous to use as
it proved to be. These things take some Lime to
tell, but they do not take long to happen, and it
struggle for life and death is frequently decided !
in half a minute. So with me. The instant '
the snake's body came over my legs, I twisted
around, and sliced it with the assegai. I gave !
two terrible gashes, and the monster, releasing I
his bold of my leathers, sprang at my face. I
raised my arm instinet'vely to protect myself,
- which saved me from being bitten; but I was
knocked down flat, and the brute was again on
me; but this time I caught it by the neck with
my left hand, and in an instant had nearly ser
i erod his head with the assegai. I scrambled
away from the monster, which was writhing about
in its agony, and escaped from the hut. To my
surprise, I found that a deep scratch near the
ankle and a bite near tile writt, neither of which
was of great importance, wore all the wounds
which I had sustained. For some days after
wards, hoWever, I triffered a gient deal of pain in
the legs, where the snake had pressed Me.
I do not think that I should have escaped to
tell the tale, if I had not found the assagai, as
the boa, although unwilling to attack you when
be is in the open cantle*, is pugnacious enough
when abut up with you in a circular but about
eight feet in diameter. Vie soon hauled the snake
from the hut, when my Hottentot arrived, and
land it measured twenty-eight feet in length,
and nearly a foot in diameterin the thicket part.

THE ARMIES OF EUROPE.
Their Astounding Magnitude ad their Uhpro-
ductiveneBB
It is now eighteen centuries and a half since a
new religion was preached to mankind—a religion
full of peace and gentleness and mercy. On the
day when the founder of that religion was born,
the peace of Europe was maintained by about
three hundred thousand soldiers: There are now
about two million and a half on the peace estab
lishment. Picture to yourself what these two
million and a half cost us, the peaceable inhabi
tants of EuroPS, in daily pay, in rations, in cloth
ing, and in housing. Go through these calcula
tions carefully. Your time can hardly be better
spent than in making up such accounts. Remem
ber, too, that these unproductive soldiers might
have been productive laborers and artisans; so
that you have to add the loss of their labor to the
cost of their keep. Try to imagine these million's
of armed men defiling, without intermission, in
long array before yOu—the bright, alert, and
ready-handed Frenchmen; the stout, hardy Prus
sians; the well drilled Austrians, the stalwart
Danes; the Piedroon testi, - the sturdy Dutchmen;
the much-enduring, long-coated Russians ; the
free -limbed, hawty, * ffetantSPrittiards; and the
cool, resolute, solid-looking Englishmen. Bright
summer days would wane away as this vast arma
ment, with all its baggage and artillery,. moved on
before your wearied eyes ; and all nigh't long the
unwearied tramp of men and horses would still
be heard resounding. Something like a concep
tion of the number may be formed by consider..
ing that, if every man, woman, and child, to be
found in London and its suburbs, were transfortn
ed into a soldier, the number would about repre
sent the effective force of men-at-arms in Europe.
Consider how the most experienced Londoner
loses his way sometimes in that great city, and
discovers districts of which he knew nothingbe
fore. Let him imagine these new regions, as well
as those parts of the town with which he is fam
iliar, to be suddenly peopled with soldiers only.
Let hint not only traverse the highways, but go
into the houses, and see the siek and aged and
infogatine, who seldom come into the streets, and
let him persevere in imagining these also to be
soldiers, and London ono huge camp. Ile will
then have some idea of the extent of Europe
an armies, and may reflect upon what it would
cost to feed these unproductive milieus for a sin
gle day;
RAGGED JEli, A JUDGE
"0 dear, sighed a half.etarred, ragged little
boy, one *chilly night in the fall of 1826 as
he sat, ei rather half reclined on his elbow on the
cold, damp step of one of the One houses of New
York city ; "how I wish I had only 'inci s e of them
nice cakes in that window."
And as be half mattered to himself, his dark
tearful eyes watched the well filled window of a
large baker-shop.
There he sat, hour after hour, with no friend to
comfort him, and and no warm bed to sleep in. The
only friend ho bad, as he thought, was his heav
enly Father, for his mother had died the day be
fore from starvation, and noW he was left an or
phan to wander all alone through that large and
wicked city. . .
Soon; however, ha fell asleep, and his troubles
left him for a time. Ile slept long and soundly.
At last :he was awaken from his sleep by the
sound of a large clock striking five. The. streets
Wore imry still, and there as not the same noise
and commotion that her is on other Mornings,
for it Was Sunday. There lie sat, 'rubbing his
•...,
eyes as thengli be wore taking his morning bath.
Presently reten one pulled him by the coat, (or
what might havti dude been called a coat) and
said: "Come, dem, wake hp, it is long past day
light, and lam getting hungry. If you will come
with too I will tell you where we can get plenty
to Ma; for I saw a shdfitattn stud his blinds with
out once looking them."
Jein looked up in real asibnishment. "Will
he give us something
"No : we cap kook it, you know; and he won't
*Piss it, I know.
"Tern loolccd up slowly, and said firmly : "I
shan't steal, and you can't make me any more for
I promised my mother just as she died that I
wouldn't. You may go, but I shan't."
Jack hung hii head and said nothing. Soon,
however, be muttered to himself, 'You may starve
to death, but 'shan't,' then, ra isiug hi s vo i ce, if s
cried, "Hurrah ! I am going, any bow, to get
something to eat."
Jom walked off in the opposite direction whist
ling to himself, "House sweet home."
The bells were ringing for Sunday School at
nine o'clock. Jorn happened to be passing St
Paul's chapel, nod as he sniv the boys and girls
going in, he thought he would like to see the
church ; so he entered, but not - without first ta
king off his Cap, abd wildng his bare feet before
be touched the step.
One of the teachers saw him, and asked him if
he came 10 school. He was so much frightened
he did not answer; but he pat him 'into a class
with some younger boys.
After the session was OVer thc teacher came lifld
closely questioned him, and finding him honest k

FORCE OF GUNPOWDER
The removal of the ruins of old St. Paul'', in
; London, formed en instructive chapter in arehi e
teetitre. We leant 'teom the "Life of:
.Wiens!'
that the walls, eighty feet perpendkala.• and five
feet thick, and the tower at least two hundred feet
high, though cracked end swayed and tottering,
stuck obstinately together, and their removal,
stone by stone, was found tedious and dangerous.
At first, men with picks and levers loosened the
stones above, then canted them over, and laborers
moved them away below, and piled them into
heaps. The want of room (for between the wane
of the church and those of the houses, there NI./
a street only same thirty yards wide,) made this
way slow and unsafe. Several men lost their
lives and the piles of stone grew steep and large.
Thus, however, Sir Christopher Wren preeeeded,
gaining every day more room, till he came to the
middle tower that bore the steeple. The remains
of the tooter being nearly two hundred feet high,
the laborerS were afraid to work above ; thereup
on he concluded to facilitate this work by the use
of gunpowder. He dug a hole down by ti;C•
north-west pillar of the tower, the four pillars of
which were each about fourteen feet diameter.—
When be had dug to the foundation, he then;
with crows and tools made on purpose, wrought
a hole two feet square, hard into the centre of the
pillar. There he placed a littletin box, contain
ing eighteen pounds of powder, and no more. A
cane was fixed to the box with a quick match, as
gunners tall it, within the ease, which reached
from the box to the ground above; and along
the ground was laid the train of powder . with a
match.
After the Mine was carefully closed up again
stone and mortar to the top of the ground,
he then observed the effect of the blow. The lit :
tie quantity of powder not only lifted up the
whole angle of the tower, with two great arches
which rested upon it, but also two adjoining arch
es of the aisles and all above them. And this it
seemed to do somewhat leisure) , „ cranking the
walls to the top, lifting visibly the whole weight
above nine inches, which suddenly jumping down
made a great heap of ruins in the place without
scattering. It was half a minors before the heap
Opened in two or three pieces, and emitted seine
smoke. By this description may be observed the
incredible force of powder, ejghteen pounds of
which lifted up three thousand tons, and saved
'the work of a thousand laborers. The fall of se
great a weight from a height of two hundred
feet, gave concussion to the ground that the in
habitants around took for an earthquake. Mir : -
lag Wren's absence, his superintendent made a
larger hole, put in a greater charge of gunpowder,
and, neglecting to fortify the mouth of the Mite;
applied the match. The ex-plosion accomplished
the object; but one stone was displaced with such
violence that it dew to the opposite side of the
church-yard, smashed in a window where emit
women were sitting, and alarmed the whole
neighborhood so mush that they united in peti
tioning that no more powder should be used.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
There is nothing that so powerfully impresses
the mind with the energy of the American pee:.
ple, as to look at the state of this Continent
hundred years ago, and compare it with,thepres=
eel state of things. In regard to the Territory
now occupied by these United States, one hun
dred Years ago was just the crisis of its fate.—
Whether this North American Continent should
be English or French, was then settled, and not
till then. True, England possessed the seaboard,
but the French had the Confides, the St. Law,
rence, the Lakes, and the Mississippi to th'e Gulf
of Mexico, undisturbed, until 1759. Then it woe
that Queffee Was Captured by the gallant Wolfe,
and Ticonderoga by the English army sent for
that purpose. But it was not till 1760 that the
King of France gave up the hope of regaining It
or that Montreal surrendered to General Amhnst.
Up to this period it seemed as it the French had
every prospect of having the Continent ultimate
ly. The Indians wore in their pay, and our Col :7
onies were entirely surrounded. Could any one
then have predicted that in a century a popula
tion of about thirty millions, as large almost ai
that of England and France put together, then

it, have seemed that France should so entirely
have lost the formative power of the institutions
of this Continent. MA Franca held Quebec and
driven back the assault of Wolfe, or recovered her
fortress the nest year, how singularly different
had been the fate of this Continent. It was the
effort against the French that first really united
the whole American people into one nation. But
for that war, they probably newer would have
united against anything. At that time the ques
tion was not as to the political influence of Great
Britain on this Continent, or even of Spain,hnt the
absolute supremacy of France. Superior strength
on the ground, decided this against France in
spite of a superier enterprise and skill in form
ing Indian alliances and geographical investiga
tions. The taking of Louisbourg, the fall of
Quebec, end the capture of Ticonderoga, ended
in the blind cession of the whole of Canada.—
Just ten years from the date of that cession,
similar confederation of the colonies was again
called intoexistence- to resist Great Britain.—
