COBIE TO MT GRAVEIN SPRING.
Come in the Spring, kind Father,
When the flowers are in bloom,
Come-then and drop the silent tear
Upon-my grarY,tomb.
- And plant ye there the Willow,
'l 4 hat the soft' mild =winds may wave
It's gentle, drooping, branches
Above my lonely grave. .
Come in the Sprhig, , dear Mother,
When nature smiles with gladness,
Then laythy band upon my : head
And weep aVvey.thy, sadness.
, And, Mother, plant the myrtle vine, •
- "Fe groW.al ove tny head,
And train the wildwood evergreen
To clamber o'er my bed.
•
Come in the Spring my Brother,
Whew the roses are in bloom. •
Come then and plant a wild rose tree -
grow upon my tomb ;
And when its bright leaves faae •
° And its toses•are all dead, •
May the gentle, breezes scatter,
Its leaves try bed.
Come is the Spririg, sweet Sister
When everything is gay,
-Come teen upon my tombstone•
'And wipe thy tears away. •
Come when the soft wizas blow •
..knd weeping willows' wave,
Come then my gentle Sister,
Anti weep beside my grave.

Atteinit to. Tame a Snake.:
Of the'c i ommon . snake a writer
-says : have been trving,a part of the sum
mer, to domesticate a snake, and . make Ma-,
.
with site and my children ; ; but aIP to.
no purposenotwitlistanding" II favored it
• with my most particular attentive' It was'
Most beautiful creature, only two feet- sev
inches long. I didfuot know how-long it
had; been Without food When, I caught it ;
butl pres~ntetl ii. with frogs, toads, Worms,
beetles, spid, mice, and every other de` cea-
cy of the feaspn. La's() tried to charm it
witirmusic And my Children stroked aud-er.l,
:re5...44 it din rain—it would be no more fa-
miller with any' one of ne than if we liaa..been
-the`greatest mr.mgers to it, or even its great
esk enemies. . I kept it in an old barrel, on;
of doors. for the first three weeks ; during
that time, I_can aver, it ate nothing,: but af
• ter a very wet night, it seemed to suilorfrom
the cold. I then put it in a glass ve_el, and
Pet it on the parlor chimney piece covering
the vessel with a piece of ;ilk gauze I
. caught taro live mice, and put them into it.;
but they Would sooner have died' of hunger
than the snalib would have' eaten them ; they
sat , shiverieg on its back, while it lay coiled
up as round as a ball of worsted. I gave the
mice some boiled potatoes, whic,lt they ate ;.
but the snake would eat neither the mice nor
the potattiel.:l - My children frequently took
•it Out in their hands, to show it to their
schoolfellows ; but my wife, and some others,
could not bear the sight of It. I one day
took hand, and opened its Month with a
penknife, to .t,how a gentleman how difierent
it.was front the adder, which I had dead by .
me, its teeth being no more formidable or ter
rific than the teeth of a trout or eel, while
the month_of the adder had two fangs, like
the clasys of a cat, attatched to the roof of
the Mouth, no way connected with the jaw- -
teeth. While examining the snake in. this
manner, it began, to smell most horridly, and
• filled the:room With an abominable odcr ; I
also felt, or thought I felt, a kind ;of prickly
numbness in the hand I held it in, and did
so for some 'weeks afterwards. made its I
escape fiom me several times byl boring a
• hole through the.gauze ; I had lost it .for
sotne days at one, time, when at length was
observed peeping.out of a mouse hole behind
one of the cellar steps. Whether ,it had
caught any beaks or,spiders in the cellar, I
. cannot say ;,but it lOoked as fierce, as a hawk
' and hissed and shook its4ongue, in; open de:
dance. ',I - conld not thin% of hurting it by
smoking it, out with tobacco or 'brimstone ;
_ but-called fiery dragon whiCh guarded
my ale cvllar. At length I caught it, coiled
up on one of the steps. I put it again into
"an American Sour barrel • but, it happened
not to bet the satne as he had been in, and . I
protruding through the staves
tbdrat. half-way up. This I suppose, he had
made - use of to help his escapefor he was mis
sing ope morning.'

,One of the ;new members of,Assetn
bly froth one of the Northern counties, was
on his way to the old dutch citya fel. days
before the opening of the session. In his ver,
daney and self conceit, as he sat in the rail.-
ear, he was sure that every man Must recog
-.raze his claim to special. consideratiOn as a
Legislator on his way to the Capital, for the
_purpose of making Laws,, for the Empire State,
And as the . other - passengers were ,suite as
goad looking as himself, he came td,the con- I
elusion that he - had rallen,into company with I
a number of members' bound to the same 1

The Inspector had - been observing mem

upon him a piercing look and slowly remo

a stern and-indignot tone : 1
'Do you mean to insult - me,i Sir? Do I
look like a villianl Have you seen me pick
any Instils pocket i 4 this car?' The attention
r
of every ono was tu b net] to the two men, and
their curiosity rose too as each successive
question was propotinded, with ti rising tone
.of voice, till Mr. Ittissell demanded: - -

Anecdote of 3:clison. =
- The Weitera Christian A, ocate records
the following interesting anec; • e of _Jack
son. The scene of it Was in the Tennessee
I Anual Conference held at Nashville, and- to
which he had beeninvitesi by a vote of the
brethren that they, might have the pleasure
of an introduction to him.
.
' The committee wa% appointed; and the
General fixed the - time at Si o'clock on Mon-,
day morning. - The Conference rd.= being'
too small to accommodate-the hundreds who
wished to witness the introduction,one of thi3
'churches was substituted, and an hour before
the time filled to overflowing. Front seats
were reserved for the members of the.Contir-•
enize, which was called to order by the Bish
op, seated in a large chair in the altar, just
before the pulpit :. ` After prayers the corn
ntittee-rettred, and a minute afterward enter : -
ed‘ conducting the Man whom all delighted
to' honor. They led him to the Bishop's
chair, Which was made vacant for him, the
Bishop meanwhile occupying another • place
within the altar. • .
The Secretary was . directed to call 'the-
Ramos of the members of" Conference, which.
he did in alphabetical order, each coming
forward and receiving from the Bishop a per
sonal introductip to the ex-President, and
immediately retiring to give place to the next,
The cereitiony had nearly been completed,
wlieo:the Secretary read the -name of . Rev.
James T—; an elderly - gentleman, With a
weather-beaten face, clad in a suit of jeans,
I arose and. came forward. • Few seemed to
know him. lie ind always been on circuit. -
, won the frontier ; and .though always , at Con ,
C
r cference,he never troubled it with long speech.
I es, but kept his seat; and said but littia--that
little however, was always to the imrpose.- 7 -•
Mr.-T. came forward and was introduced to
the 'General, who said,' It - seems ".to. the we
, have met before.' The preacher, •apparently
! embarraFsed ; said :',I-was--with:-° . I you through-_
the Creek campaign-=one of . your body
guards at the , battle of. Horse Shoe—and
rfought under your comniand at NeW Orleans,' •
"The'General arose slowly from hiseat, 'and
throwing his long,Withered,bony arm around
the preachers neck, exclaimed :. ' Well soon
'meet where there's no war—where the smoke
of battle never rolls up -its sulphurions in
cense I' . . - '
"Never before, or since, have -I seen so
many tears shed. as then flowed forth' from'
the eyes of that vast assembly. Every eye'
was moist with weeping. •
"Eleven yehrs have passed 'away since
that day. The old hero bias been.rnore thatr
ten in his silent and narrow home._ Tho'
Voice that cheered- the drooping flea, and
thu.ndered in the rear of rooted armies is (U.._
lent forever. The old"preacher, too, has
fought his last battle, laid his . armorby, and
