"Lseent ib and saw it there," whisk
pored my wife,and then, without tak-•
tug my eyes for as instant from Oil
snake, I whispered the one word
"Gun," and she glided from I,m side.
I did • not-know then, but shelold
me afterwards, how she: had ,estried
the little boy to a distance and given
him some flowers to play , with„-while
she crept back to the tot, and reach
lug it, in at the kitchen window, bro't
me my gun, for I bad not stirred.--
And now, as I grasped - the piece in
my hand, knowing as I did•that it
was loaded, it 'mewed of no use, for
I dared not fire ; but, with trembling
hands,ltelt in my pockets to see if
there was a bullet in them, and 'then
softly pulling, out the -ramrod,' I un
screwed t! e cover of the, worm,. drew
the wadding, reversed the piece and
let the shot fall pattering out, when
softly forced down the bullet Apon
the powder, examined the cap and
stood ready wilting for a chum, for
though the shot might Lave scatter
ed, and if ever so little, Juighthave
injnredjthe child instead of its enemy.,
And there we stood for quite "half
an hour, watching intently that hor
rible-beast completely nestled in the
blank'et, expecting _ momentarily that
the baby would awake, white my
hand trembled so that I could not
hold my gun steady. _ One minute I
was thinking that, I bad done wrong
in changing the charge,the next min-
ute that I was right, that I fancied
the gun might miss fire, or thatl
might slay my own child. A hundred
horrible thoughts entered my mind
before little Joe began to cry out to
his mother i and - she glided away while
T muttered to'nryself, "Thank Heav
en l" for obis was spared from seeing
what followed.
As if at one and the same moment
the child And the snake.woke up. I - I
saw the baby's bald Move, and little
arms throWn out, while' from the 'no
tion beneath the blanket I knew that
it, must have kicked a* little. Then
there was a rapid movement in the
cradle, and as I. glanced along the
gun barrel, taking aim i there was the
whole of the horrible reptile exposed
to view, coil gliding over' coil ae it
seemedito fill the whole of cradle,•
and Pow had my gun been charged
with shot, I should have fired, so as
to have disabled some part of his
body ' • but with only a single bullet
.! felt that the bead must be the part
attacked, when opportunity *erred.
Glide, glide, glide;'' one coil over
another rickly and easily, inif it
were untying its knotted body, while
now the head slowly rose IVotn' where
it bad been lying , and crept nearer
and nearer the face, the forked
tongue darting in , and out, and 'play
ing rapidly on either side of its hide
ous mouth.- 'I contd . see the glance
of the anakee eyes, 'and expected
every moment to hear the little one
shriek in terror, ai the lowered head
rested over her breast. But no, the
child lay perfectly-still for a few mo-
ments, and then I stood trembling ki
every limb,as I saw the anike's head
drawn back, and then begin to sway
to and fro, and from side to side, the
glistening neck of the beast gently
undulating whilst the tongue still
...acted in and out of the dreadful
looting mouth. •
Now was the time when I should
have fired, but I was too' unnerved
and laying down my gun, I seized
my..hoe, meaning to attack 'the beast
with its stout handle ; but .my baud
fell' parlyzed at 6y side as I saw •the
little one in the cradle smile and
laugh at the gently undulating head
of -the snake . ; while, as the agony
grew to bo greater thin "could bear
in seeing the little white bapds try to
catch at it as it swayed to and fro,
my powers seemed to come back. I
snatched up the g i ng, and as the
snake's head was drawn back prepar-
atory to striking,l pulled the trigger,
when the sharp crack of the perces
sion cap alone followed perhaps
providentially, for in my trembling
state I might have injured the child.
Then I saw a rapid wreathing of the
coils in the cradle, sod as; till of

rmenvenuf.
In the authmer,of 1887" or 1808, a
lad of about fifteen years of age
tar,ted' from 'one of the northern
(mantle@ of. this State, to male hie
firjetstrip.""doturt Me riper on a raft, ,,
said' raft of laMber being the proper.
ty of hie older brother. After plow
ing through the usual scenes cone-'
quenf alma inch an adventure, le
landed with' the +eat of the crew at
flaifre de Grace, the head . of ‘Chesit•
peace bay, in Jane.' He remained
there4aiting forlhe sale of the raft,
and :eating churl**, which to him
were a rare luxury, for several days.
Finally a • neighbor of his brother,
who had a ship load of boards ready
for a more southern market, proposed
to the elder of the two that the
younger take charge of the whole
cargo, and sell it somewhele below
as best he oould.
Young as he was, the proposition
was immediately accepted by . the
boy, and-14e was min, tin his way as
pperciirgo,' although tintille sailed
Into • the Susquehanna on ar raft,
a shori time before, he had never
seen a body of water wider than a
good sized creek.
He was told by the owner of the
lumber that ke,was to have the en
tire control of it, and sell to the best
advantage he could, and the whole
responsibility must be assumed by
him.' His' ship passed along down
the bay to one of the lumber markets
in Virginia„where she landed and the
lad began to looikor a purchaser.--
He with his business-like way, soon
found a man who agreed to take the
whole at a stipulated price. Not
long after, however„,he came to him
and told bim,.-tbat he had concluded
not to take, the lumber at That price;
he had in the mdlntime seen the cap
tain, who told him that he could get
it for less. - •
" Very good," said the supercargo,
with as -much self-possession as an
old waterman, "if you take it at all,
you will give the price you agreed to.
I don't make children's bargains."
Immediately he started , out into
the country to find -a buyer. By
riding about fifteen miles he found a
man who desired to take half of his
load, and with him the following con
versation occurred': „
Boy, Do you want to buy some
pine limber, sir ? .
. Man. You have not lumber to
sell, have you ?
B.' Net -of fay own, sir ; but I
have the care-of a ship toad.
M. Where du you live ? -
B. In the mirth part of Pennsyl
vania. -
M. Hoy:sold are you
B. Fifteen years old, sir.
M. Did -yew come_ all the way
down here alone?-
' B. No, sir 'came to Havre de
Grace with my brother, .and from
thorel- came withort:_company ex
cept the crew.
M. Is your father alive ?
• -
B. No sir.
•
M. Is your mother dad too
B.
M. Have you alWays lived in
PerinsyNmnia ?
B. No sir, I - Was born' in Connec
tick-
M. Oh yes, I now understand.—
Yes I sec how. it is ; walk in here
and take u scat. Yes, I will buy
part, (say half of your lumber.
B. Ido not wish to sell unles&l
can sell the whole.
M. Can you not sell a part to
some man near where it is ? •
B. I did-sell the whole to a gran
there, but he backed out, and I wont
let'him hale it now if he would give
the price. •
M. Would it not be better for 'you
to sell to him than to go further. f
B. I don't like his way of doing
business, butt-if you think I had bet
ter do 801 will let you have half 'and
he may take the other half.
The bargain was completed, the
lumber delivered' and' paid for. par

to the plantation to see the slaves
harvest wheat. On his return he
was' sked how he was pleased.—
" Ob,"taid he,' ." one of our farmers

three of those fellows of yours out
there will." -
" You don't like slavery I suppose?'
"No sir, I - don"t think it will last
long 'either?"
",Oh you are mistaken, we will
ncver give up slavery."
"We don't think so up where I
live."
" Well, you will sec." .
'" Yes sir, and so will you." •

popularity that a- great scarcity df

slaughter. So, when information
reached headquarters that two cats
were fightingjt opt on a certain line
in the barracks - an officer, and a squad
wire sent to arrest the men engaged
in witnessing the diversion. The
culprits beard the tramp on•tbe stairs
of the approaching party. Quick as
thought the windows of the room
were thre thrown up, • and the cats
freed from each other by cutting off
their tails., These suspesded. from
the line were all that was to be seen
by the intruders. " Begorra ' " cried

HISTORY OF CARNARD.—The term
carnard, is often used to signify an

may be new to some Of our readers,
exeelently illustrates the meaning of
the word. A Frenchman once sent
`to a ..newspaper a. statement of. an
experiment which be had lately made •
proving the wonderful voracity of
.ducks. He had a flock, ho said,of 20
of these fowls. One day he killed
one of them, and cutting it into very
small pieces, fed it feathers and all
to the other 19, who' ate it all up in
a very few minute*. He then - killed
another, and cutting it in small
pieces, fed it to the other 18, and it
was quickly devoured. Ho killed'
another,' and fed it to the other 17
remaining ducks, and etill another
whie.h he .fed to the . l6 . ; awl so, con

duck left, 'which duck had of course, ,
eaten the other 19. Canard

the French word for duck, any exag
