The sunlight flows from sapphire skies
And over field and river ties ;
Il streams upon me warm nd AhltS
Through the glad iWilr's Ihat follotr night.
It thrills the bursting-hud and leaves
And with creatlvo magic waves
Fresh bloom, and color" In the air
And wild enchantment everywhere.
Men deem llhuta common thing (
As common as Ihe flowers which spring
From soil utid dew, and vaguely see
Its beauty bright as dawn lo me.
The wonder of its life Is clear
To those who falhnm far and ntar
lis radiant mystery burns alone
For hearts that look Into its own.
Oh 1 1 haye welched It till I seem
To lute tny senses In a dreant j
And yet lis splendor Is, I know,
A part of things that thrive and grow.
As though with somo divining eye
I trace It through the ambient sky,
And strive in (miry to outrun
Its flight beyond the central sunt
I note ita subtle wayes which move
As silent waters in a groove.
Each separate, yet (ogntlier bound)
Like a sweet harmony of sound j
a
I see thrill borne wllh airy graco
Across the million leagues of space :
Born with an "equal Seed ami blent
With power that is omnipotent.
A strange anil solemn crder guides
Their infinite motion : and the tides
That lift Ihe universal sea
Or tho spring leufing nf a tree.
Are not more governed by a fnrce,
Which, holds the earth within lis course,
Which makes of every man n iwrt
Of Iho wide world's Immortal heart.

It was impossible not to observe it, such

"Yes. my frieud," be was saying to his
companion, "that nir diamond a singn

and, lur nil that, I whs elglilecn thnui

bragging on bis diamonds, and tome of

So nftir lickering up pretty freely, I said

"Yon betlvas punctool at the ap.

friend alto nu el?cut genllrman nnil
sat down to the best breakfast I had tver

more appetite than a three-year-old Scy.

resolved to spend my bottom dollar but
that I d have It; so I Jed up to tbe sub

' 'Out my new friend didn't like tbe idea
at all, kicked and cavorted like viclcua

him lo part with a jewel given bim by u
defeased mother on her deathbed. I was
all timed streaked at this, you bet, nnd
couldn't help rtflectln'how curious 'twas
that them boys who care the lmst about
what their parents when livin' should be
so all-fired sentimental about their w isbes
when dead.
"However, I didn't abandon my reso
lution, nnd invlled tny new friends to
dine with me on tbe morrow. Meantime
I could neither eat nor sleep, llilnklu' ol
that diamond, aud when its proprietor

couldn't help chucklln' to mjstlf, for I

THE STIIUtiTII or A 8NAKE.
The elephant driver said it was noth
ing for a snake (boa) lo swallow1 a deer,
and thou entertained mo with the fol
lowing! "A herd of wild elephants was roam
ing through the country once, and after
straying some time nt a salt spring began
to pass ou, One, howsvtr, a very large
animal, stayed it little behind, being, in
fact, tbe last to leave tbo sptlng, As he
was' hastening to join tho others, a snake
(who bad beeu watching in an adjacent
treo), tbreW its body out as she elephant
passed by, and, keeping hold of the
lrc6 with Ms extremity, caught bold of
tho elephant's hlud leg. Thd monster
stopped and. turned round to see what
was the thnflerj and by this the snake
got a better hold, and wound itself round
tbe elephant's body, Then commenced
the tug of wnr. The elephant saw what
was the Matter and commenced to pull.
Butlt oould not die connect the snake from
tie Iree. Neither gave wny, nnd the
p'lliiuE coLtiuusd wilh fearful vigor uu
til a orenking was heard. Suddenly tbe
great treo around which the! snake had
fixed its hold was seen to sway.aud grad
ually its lateral roots' began to appear
above the earth, the trunk to totttr, nnd
finally tho top-most branches crashed to
the ground. But tho most marvellous
part was that tbe truulr, having wide
spreading branches which rested cu tho
ground, was ralsfid ft gVcat distance from
the earth. The snake, which dtiil main
tained ils hold both on it and the ele
phant, wasbt isledupwitb the trunk and
took the elephant wilh it. Next day a
part of villagers out for firewood, when
n short distauce froirt tho tree, saw tho
novel sight of nn elephant suspended
(apparently) in mid air. Upon closet in
spection Ihey found a snake was the cou
ucctiou with the tree, aud one mau got
through tho branethes on to the truuk,
cut through tho snake, which immediate
ly fell to the) ground with the elephant
nud was crushed by the fall."
Snakes do uot get on at all where pigs
are kept. In fact, tbe former etrts almost
strangers iu ttie presefnee of tho latter.
Pigs are sometimes bitten, bat do not
set m to die. Tucy bite at and eat snakes
without ado upon coining across them.
Whether the sluggish circulation of a
swine's bl iod preveuts the poison from
taking visible effect) or whether the thick
coating of fat which generally finds place
upon the franio of a pig pr'cYents tbe
snake poison from reaching tbe blood
vessels, I do noi know. At all events,
pigs attack snakes wilh imptiuity.
