Bow It Was Planned tod Eieeated.
"I'll toll you what it in, wifo," anitl
Peter Smith, and he cmpliaiired the
remark bv a win ahake of the foro
fiuger, "things have "t into a vury
bad way. The furra in mortjnged to
the Tory last cent it is worth, and I
owe a heap of money beaido more
by a long shot titan I know how to
pay. What ia to be douo T"
"I am sure I don't know, Peter,"
replied the bothered wife, "but it
seems too awful bad to be turned out
of houso and h jme at our titan of life.
Now if out son John would ouly
nmrrv Jonas Brown's daughter Sully,
it would help us out amazingly. The
Browus, you see, are well off, and the
connection would be a perfect gold
mine to us. Of course they'd give
Sally the hundred atTes of land and
things thnt they'ro always said they
would."
"That's a good idea, wifo," Raid
Peter, brightening up amazingly.
"You always wcro a cute woman, and
the notion does credit. But dn you
think the young folks would take to
itt" .
"I don't know, but it seems to me
that they've taken a great uotion to
each other ever sinco they were chil
dren been more like brother and
sister that any tiling else."
"lint suppose the Browns would
object, aa most likely they would t
You know we aint on good terms
tbick as the young folks have leeu.
"I'll tell you what, Peter, is just
the thing for ua to do put up John
to elope with Sally.''
"Agreed. I'll leave it all to you to
manage.
Thus the matter was settled, and
the scheming couple went to bed to
iream of a speedy mleoso from their
financial embarrassments.
Coincidents are sometimes of the
most curious character almost aur
passing belief in soma instances.
About the time of the above con
venation between Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, their neighbors, Jonas Brown
and wife held au important confer
ence.
Do you remember that note for
six hundred dollars I give for stock
last spring T asked Jonas.
"Yea. renued hia wifo.
"Well, it's coming due in about a
month, and how under the sun we're
going to pay it I don t know."

"We've done that till it can't be
mortgaged another cent I'm clean
discouraged, and there is Sally want

on the verge of bankruptcy."
"I wish Sally would marry John
Smith gracious knows they're to
gether enough to take a notion that
way.'
"Yes, but I don t aeo how that
would help us any.''
"You. don't, eht WolL I do.

conclusion, after profound medita
tion i "but ths difficulty is, that the
Smiths are not on good terms with
us, ana wouia do nicely to oppose

"Tbon the best plan is to set the)
young folks up to an elopement."

Smiths planned to dispose of their
children to their own pecuniary ad
vantage, Ths next step in each case
waa to mould ths young ones to the
proper shape.
John amith Was a handsome.
brawny country fellow, with nlentv
of good sense, and an ocean of love
for Sally Brown. When his parents
proposed his marrying her, he in
formed them that he would gladly
do so, but he feared her parents
would object. Then hie father slvlv
suggestsa an elopement, sod offered
to ajd In carryin; out such ta ex

ploit John said' hs (.would think
about it -. -
Sa'.lywas A rustio maiden .with
much rodnesa of cheeks, and rejofs
Ing in the possession of ths lasting
comoliness which is derived from a
bright smile, a sweet toknper, a pair
of clear earnest eyes, tnvle none toe
less expressive by the near neighbor
hood of a saucy Grecian nose. Ilor
wavy brown hair had not a ripple out
of place, and hor plump little figure
was eucoaed in a well fitting dresa,
which was neatness itself. When her
parents spoke to her about John, she
blushed becomingly, and, after clone
questioning, admitted that she would
bo "ticklod to doattr to marry Inra.
She further stated that they were
running over with love for each oth
er ithat they had long ago settled
the groat question of ultimate
union, but they had feared parental
objection.
"Now, 111 toll you what,SsMy."
said Mrs. Brown, "you know pa and
I doto on you, and would . io any
thing to make you nappy.
"Yes we would do anything to
make you happy," . echoed the old
man.
"And if you were to hint to John
the idoi of an eloopoment we would
not lift our fingers to provont if
"No," repeated the old man "wo
would not lift our fingers to prevent
it '
Itt thus instructing their children
the Smith and Browns displayed
very little knowledge of human ha
turo. They should have known that
John and Sally would, upon the first
occasion possible, unbosom thorn
selves i for how could true lovers
keep a secret and such a socret ?
Ana they did not. At thd next
meeting each told the other all ho or
she had been told by parental lips,
but neither could conceive the ob
ject of tho old folks. However they
were not over disposed to question
tho mutter. They wore too glad that
tho consummation so dovotodly wish
ed scorned s ) near at baud, to ques
tion how it had been brought about
Conscious that thoir progenitors
wore up to somo kind of trickery,
they resolved at onco to avail them
selves of tho opportunity to elope

Ordinarily, the rattlesnake is ex
tremely sluggish, and unless molest
ed there is but little to fear frooa it
during the greater portion of the
year. Juat before and jnst after its
winter sleep, however, it is more ac
tive, and often sasumss the offen
sive. In order to strike, it must lie
in s close coil, with its head and
nook erect In this position it
throws itself forward about three
fourth it length, supporting its
woight entirely upon the renmining
fo'.trth. When molested1 or alarm
el, or whan about it attack, the
rattle is violently shaken t but prae
tioally this serve little purpose aa a
warning, ainoe when excited the crea
ture strikes at the intruder with the
quickness of lightning, aod almost
simultaneously with the souud of
the ra'.tlo. The atatcmrat that tho
uoisoofthe rattle is psouliar, anl
once hoard will never after be mis
takon, is emphatiiully denied, the
writer averring that he has known
the opiuions of those who had fre
quently heard the sound "divided ss
tj whethor a cortain ominous click
ing arose from the grasshoppers,
which were in great numbers, or a
rattlesnake." Contrary t the com
mon buliof, tho reptile also often
loaves iti holo aud moves, about
after sundown, not soldoin crawling
into touts, and even into bod, du
ring the night Tho notion that
youomous snakes do not bito twice
in succession is also pronounced er
ronious, the writer mentioning a
case whore he now the rattlesnake
striko throe times with electric
quicknoss, each timo leaving the
marks of its fungn ou tho trousers of
tho person attacked.
But with all its quickness and ir
ritability the snake froquoutly refu
ses to bito, evon when crowded to
tho closest quarters. It is related
that often when trod on it fails to
retaliate i and ono remarkable in
stance is given where a gentleman
on coming out of the river Platto
after a batli. and entirely naked, sat
down upon a rattlesnake, nod dis
covering his mistake suddouly re
sumed his legs, without suffering
any harm beyond a severe fright.
Tho peculiar odor of the rattlesnake
is vouched for, and wo aro told that
when ono irritated and ina lo to bito
tho ruko or boo with which it is in
tent to kill him, the implement will
retain tho sumo unpleasant smell for
moiilus. Onco known, tha odor ia

Whilo tho rattlesnake is found
spread over a large portion of North
America, it is much more abundant
in some localities than in othors,
Texas probably holds an infinitely
larger proportion of those reptiles
than any other State in tbe Uniou.
Tho district lying between the Rio
Grande and tho Nueces, two streams
which flow in tho same direction and
some sixty or seventy milos npart, is
a. uosert region, nierauy swarming
with poisonous serpents. "In sum

go fifty yards in this locality without
