An. African's /Revenge.
, The following thrilling tale has 'been
translated in the Llpston • Journal from a
passage in Eugene Sue's FrenCh novel
of Alter Gal: The scene is laid itf
Gaudaloupe. It is
,merely necessary
to premise that Alter Gul ma favorite
:slave, whom Col. XVillis brought from
Africa several years before the event
described is supposed to have taken
plaae. Alter Gel •al ways had appear
ed faithful to his master, and faithful
for his kindness Ilat in secret
he byaded over the loss of his liberty,
:411'1 iiisolved to be deeply revenaed.—
S m ile's shone on his countenance, but
dea d ly Hatred rankled in his heart.
%Viten Alter Gut had nearly reach
ed the summit of a mountain, the sun
tilreatly risen, and the lofty heights
of La SJA(Trairc threw : her shadows to
a great distance across the valleys be
low. As he was about entering a sort
of dell, formed of huge blocks of gran
ite. which seemed to have been fantas
tically heaped up around, he heard a
learfal sound, and stopped short. It
was the sharp hiss of a serpent. He
soon after heard the flapping of wings
over his head, and, on looking up; saw
one of those large birds called Secreta
ries, or Man-of-whr birds common in
the tropical (dim:lE3s which having al
ready, descried the serpent, was mak
ing large circles in the air, but iipproach
ing nearer to his destined prey every
moment.
The serpent seemed to be aware of
the inferierity of his force, -and was
rapidly gliding towards his den, when
.the bird, apparently aware of his inten ,
lion, descended with the rapidity of
lightning, and alighted in his path ;
and with his large wings, which termi
nated with a bony protuberance, and
s reed him biith as a war club and- a
shield he effectually prevented the re
treat of the venomous serpent.
•_ The serpent now became enraged,
and the beautiful variegated colors of
his skin sparkled in the sun like rings
of gold, and .azure. His head was
frightfully swollen with rave and ve
nom--he darted out his forked tongue
and-filled the air around with hisses.
The huge bird extended one of his
wings, and with a longing eye on the
serpent, advanced to the - conflict;! but
his wary antagonist watched his inove
ments, and quick motions of his
hods to the right and left, evading his
attacks, until finding his mode of war
fare would not long avail him, he at
length-darted at the bird, and vainly at
tempted to fix his poisonous fangs in
- body, and crush hint in his coils. But
the Secretary caught him in one n6,his
claws, and with furious blow of his
beak fractured his skull: The serpent
struggled violently for a few moments—
but resistance was useless ; and he was
soon stretched lifeless before his victo
rious enemy.
But the bird had time to enjoy
his victory, the report of a mcsket was
heard, and the Secretk in his turn
lay dead by the side of tits venomous
antagonist.• Alter Gill turned his head
and saw Theodore standing on a rock
above him, with a fowling piece in his
had.
•• Well, Alter Gull," said the young
man, in sliding down from the summit
of the rock, was not that well done ?"
. "It was a' good shot, master, but I
am sorry that you killed that bird,
.lor
these Secretaries wage war with the
,venomous serpents with which our
Mountains are infested." And* the
black pointed to the reptile. which was
seven or eight feet long and between
four and five inches in diameter.
" Ah !" exclaimed Theodore, " I re
gret it now, for I do detest those hide
eous serpents. I would give halfmy.
fortune to exterminate these monsters."
.4 You are right, master," said Alter
Gul—" They are a great nuisance, and
their bite. almost always proves fatal.
" It is not only. that," said the youna
man, " but you know that my betroth
ed Marguerite—whom, if Heaven will,
I am to marry to-morrow—has a most
unaccountable antipathy to the sight
of one of these animals. Less so now
than formerly, I confess---,for once the
name of snake would always deprive
her of sensation. But her father, her
millet . ..and myself, have at various
--times tried io conquer her silly but deep
rooted feari - lor these reptiles. We
have tried to accustom her to the sight
of them, and have often thrown them
in her way after they had -been killed,
and then laugh-at her screams of ter
ror.** ti
• That is the only way to conquer .
her foolish antipithy, master," said the
wily !African. "In my` country they
thus habituate our women and children
to sights of horror. But a thought
strikes me. A means presents itself
of curing her of these foolish fears, if
you can only 'be previiled upon to
adopt it." And his eyes were for a
moment lighted up with a gleam •or
ferocious delight. "We will take the
snake home with us. But first let us
,cut off his head. We cannot, use too
much precaution." ft •
Noble fellow 1" said Theodore as
he assisted Alter Gul to separate' the
head of the serpent from the body.
It is a female!" whispered Alter
Gel hietself, and the male cannot be
tar ..
They - proceeded to Cot. Willis' hob
:nation ; •the black dragging after him
4111, bleeding . ca.case of the serpent.—
The house in Which the Colonel resid
ed, like most of the houses in that cli
:"mate, consisted of but one story, with
• wings. In one of the Wings was the
bed room of Marguerite. A piazza in
front of the window, and jalousie.
screened the room from the devouring
heat of thelropical sun.
• Theodore approached the window
on tiptoe; cautiously opened the jal
ousie, and looked in: ;Marguerite was
not there. lie then took the serpent
from the hands of Alter Gut; who, as
it seemed, through an excess of caution,
first bruised the neck of reptile on
the window frame. Theodore hid the
serpent, whose brilliant hues had al
ready become tarnished by death, be
neath the dressing table. Re then re
tired and closed the jalousie. As he
turned away he met Cul. Willis, who
laughed, heartily at the trick which
Theodore was playing on Marguerite.
The room which was appropriated
to Marguerite, was really the asylum of
innocence. The hand of the mother
had been there. It was seen in the el
egant and useful furniture which deck
ed the apartment, that little bed curtain
ed with white gauze—stuccoed walls,
polished, and hurting as brilliant as a
Varian marble—that harp, and table
covered with music books—that little
dreSsing, glass—those•silken ribbons—
that cross of pearl—tiezi.se jeweled or
naments—in a word. all those trilling
tugs : which are so precious to a young
iiispered a tale of innocence,
hive, and happiness.
The door opened, and. Marguerite
entered. She seated herself before
her dressing tab'e, but she saw not the
reptile beneath it. While she arranged
her hair, and essayed a ribbon, which
Theodore had praised, she sang the
song which she had been taught by her
lover,
.4 To-day," soliloquized the Votively
girl, "I must try to appear as beautiful
as possible. To-morrow I shall be;
long to another. Oh, Theodore ! with
what devotion he loves me. Nothing
oniearth can add to my happiness.
She approached so near the gla.4s to
judge of the effects of the ribbon, that
her 4reath tarnished the brilliant surface
of the mirror then with her linger she
playfully andsmilingly traced the name
of Theodore neon the glass.
A slight noise near the window awa
kened her from the delicious reverie.
She turned toWarO s it, blush:ag lest her
dearest secret had been discovered.—
But the paleness of death instantiy
came over her features. She convul
sively threw her hands before her, and
tried to rise — but she could not. -Her
trembling limbs refused to sustain her,
and she fell back into her chair. The
unhappy girl saw peering ttfrough the
;alutaie. the head of an enormous ser
pent. In a moment lie was lost among
the flowers, which were tastefully ar
ranffed before the window. His
ap
pearance gave new strength to Margu
erite, who rushed towards the door
which opened into the gallery scream
ing. •` Help! mother, mother help !
Here is a inontrous serpent !"
But her parents and lover held the
door out side, and langhed„at what they
conceived to be her imaginary fears.
Well done, my noble girl," said Col.
Willis, cannot : u scream a little
louder I The snake U. not eat you
I'll engage—poor little thing, how
frightened she appears to be!"
But her cries continued.
•• Nly dear Marguerite," said Theo
dore, don't be ala-med. I put it
there myself, and you shall give me a
kiss for my pains, sweet girl."
?Meanwhile the hideous monster left
the flowers and glided into the room.—
Marguerite, finding her cries for assist.
anee of no avail, uttered a loud shriek
and fell to the floor. The ser
pent raised its head, and for a moment
appeared to be reconnoitering the apart
ment. But when it saw its companion
on the floor,lits eyes absolutely spark
led with rage. It seitt forth a loud and
long hiss, and advanced toward the un
fortunate girl.
With a rapidity almost inconceiva
ble. the hideeus reptile twined useif
around the graceful and sylph-like form
91 Marguerite. Its cold and-sliMy neck
rested argainst the snowy bosom of his
victim, and there it fastened its venom
•ons fangs.
The helpless girl, restored to con
sciousness by the agonizing pain of the
wound, opened her eyes; but the first
object-which min her view, was the
horrid head of the reptile, its eyes flash
ing fire, and its open wont(' displaying
its crooked and deadly faags' t •
" Mother, mother ! 0 dear moth
er ?" faintly screamed the dying girl.
But.a half suppressed laugh was the
only response to her convulsive cry.--
The jalousie was slowly opened, and
Alter Gul looked-in at the window, his
eyes glaring with malignancy and tri
umph.
Elizabeth !" said Mr. Willis.—
"She answers not; perhaps she has
fainted with terror." >
" Silly girl!" said the.colonel. " But
we will open the door and see what is
the matter."
Some heavy object lay against the
door.. He gave .a violent push, and
entered. the room, followed by Mrs.
Willis and Theodore. But who can
etaint . the .agony of the parents and the
lover, when they found they had stum
bled' over the dead body of the unfor
tunate Marguerite.
-As they entered the apartment, the
serpent was seen to glide out at t
window.
Raising Turkeys.
" Mr. Charles Siam Jr., in the Ame
can Agriculturalist says : Heretofore I
have had so much difficulty in raising
turkeys, so as "to be almost discouraged,
but of late have been very successful, in
consequence of pursuing the following
mode recommended to me by a lady,
who said that she had no trouble with
them.
When first hatched, give no feed for
21 hours, then give a little curd made
from buttermilkroineteasin,g the quantity
as they grow older. They should be
secured from the wet, and by no means
haie. Indian meal ; but with the curd
they may have in moderate quantities,
wheat-bread soked in buttermilk. I be
lieve 'lndian meal is fatal to the greater
part of the young turkeys which die in
the attempt to raise them. To allow
them to wander too much is attended
usually with considerable lo'ss. I have
found it a very good plan to make an en
closute of boards six feet square or so,
and twelve to eighteen inches high, and
set thi.4 in a grass field during fine weath
er, in which to confine young turkeys.
This is removed occasionally from place
to place, and thus get all the fresh green
food the) may need *besides an abun
dance of insects."
Accuracy of Memory.
Accuracy of recollection is obviously
of peculiar importance at the bar ; but
the profession has sometimes exhibited
surprising instances oithe faculty. Lord.
Eldon spoke of chief Justtce de Grey's
powers of memory as extraotdinary.—
De Grey suffered so much from the
gout that he used to come into the court
with his hands wrapped in llennel. lie
thus 'could not take a note. " Yet I
have know him," said Lord Eldon, "try
a cause that lasted nine or ten hours, and
then, from. memory, sum up all the evi
dence with the greatest correctness.—
When counsel offered any intimation of
his accuracy, his answer was, " I am
sure I am right : refer to your short-hand
writer's notes ; and he was invariably
found to be right." A similar faculty is
'posssessed by that very distinguished
person, Lord Lyndhurst.
FBI
We have known some persons in the
world, who, gliding quietly through life,
have floated on the stream of time, like
a boat on the waters of a broad and tran
quil river, carried on by the unruffled
tide of prosperity, and lighted to their
journey's end by the cloudness sun of
happiness. And we have met with oth
ers whose star seemed to rise in clouds,
to hold its course through storms, and to
set in blacker darkness than which gave
it birth. But long continued joy loses
its first• zest, and uninterrupted sorrow
its first poignancy ; habits robs even mi
ser;• of its acuteness ; and one that is
long endural brings along with it the
power of long endurance. It is the sud
den transition from joy to sorrow that I's
the acme• of human suffering, adding the
bitterness of regret fur past enjoyment
to all the pangs of present distress.
ANNEXATION.—The Baltimore Re
publican relates the following, which
actually took place in that city, a few
(lays since :
" miss—," said a Democrat
to a Whig lady, " I suppose you
_have
read both of Mr. Clay's letters on the
annexation of Texas f"
" Yes. I have."
As I heard you profess yourself
delighted with his first letter, what do
you now say,—are you in favor of
annexation ?"
"Personally I have no objections."
A FUNNY A LTERATION.--A few
years ago this sign was upon one of
our mercantile houses
.2. Bull 4. Co. Importers
A wicked wag one night took paint
and brush and in one minute made it
read thus :
.3 Bull and Cow Imported
Numbers' of people called the next
day to look at the Imported Cattle.
A Fashionable lady, being inquired
of how she liked the dinner at a distin
guished party, her reply was, " The
dinner was splendid but my seat was
so promote from the nick-nacks, that 1
could not ratify my appetite, and the
pickled cherries had such a defect on
my head, that I had a notion to leave
the table, but Mr. gave me
some hartshorn, desolved in water,
which bereaved me.

As in the first place, if wo would prevent an

NVIIIGIIT ' S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,
Of the North American College of Health,
will be found one of the best if not the very
BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD
for carrying out this beautiful and simple the,o
ry ; because they completely clensolhe Stomach
and Bowels from all Bilious Humors and oth
er impurity, anti at the same tint° promote a
healthy discharge from the Lungs, Skin, and
Kidneys; consequently, as all the Natura
Drains are opened,
Disease of every name is literally driven front

Cautio7r—As the great popularity and
consequent great demand for W right's Indian
vegetable Pills has raised up a host of cuontor
feiters, country agents and storekeepers will be
on their guard against the many imposters who
are travelling about the country selling to the
unsuspecting a spurious article for the genuine.
It should be remembered that all authorized
agents nre provided a Certificate of Agency,
signed by NVit.r.i A 111 WRIGHT, Vice President
of the N. A. College of Health. Consequent
ly, those who offer Indian Vegetable Pills -and
cannot show a Certificate, as above described,
will ho known a's imposters.

IMPORTANT INVORMATION.
IT is .a prevailing opinion among the enlight
ed Physicians of our country, that Cancer
Is a mass of living animalcule, which have ta
ken up their abode in the human system. No
[natter how small, or how IoW in the scale of
animated nature, the individual composing
Cancer may be, they were so tenacious of ex
istence, that the knife or the Most powerful
caustic, are the only means by which they can
be removed.
When permitted to remain, they never fail
to multiply and spread to neighboring parts,
committing the most frightful depredations, un
til death comes to the relief of their victim.—
Worms in children, may be considered some
what analagous. If they are less fatal, they
are infinitely more common ; and if suffered to
remain, produce consequences scarcely less
alarming. If the testimony of medical writers
is to be relied upon, they often produce mania,
apoplexy, epilepsy, palsy,convulsions and many
other diseases equally dangerous, and often fa
tal. But hero the parallel stops, Cancer being
one of the mast obdurate diseases, with which
physicians have to contend, while worms are
easily dislodged by proper remedies.
MERRICK'S VERMIFUGE,
has proved one of the most valuable medicines
ever offered to the public for destroying worms
in children,. Hundreds of cases might be enu
merated, where it has produced the happiest re
sults. It is a syrup, and therefore easily admi
nistered to children. Price 25 cents per bottle.
THE POCAHONTAS PILL.
Is the present age, when " Patent Medi
cines" are so numerous, and their properties so
unblushingly eulogized by ,their respective pro
prietors, it becomes necessary for the public (to
guard against imposition) to require some au- .
thentic evidence of their sanative properties.
The Pocahontas Pill is not offered as en an
tidote for all the diseases to which flesh is heir.
We merely purpose to show, by the successive
publication of certificates, voluntarily offered,
that their present popularity is well founded ;
and, that as a purgative- medicine, they have
proved pre-eminently 'beneficial. These Pills
are compounded according to the rules of medi
cal science, are entirely vegetable, and may be
safely given to cleanse the stomach, purify the
blood, remove inflammation, and correct the
morbid secretions, without•regard to age, sex or
condition.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Follmer, of Turbet,
Northumberland county, PEI, says —" For some
years past, I have been suffering from a severe
and alarming disease of the liver. Several phy
sicians had prescribed for me, and I had taken
many articles highly recommended in the papers,
without any benefit. About twelve months
ago, I began using the Peeshentas Pills, and am
happy to say, that in a few weeks I found my
disease entirely reme.Ved; since which I have
been free from cough and pain in the side, and
consider my malady radically cured."
