Be Off With You Now Be off with you now—don't I know That it's only cajoling you are ; With "checks like the rose's soft glow, And glances more bright than the star!" 'Tis true that my waist is but small, ' And my ringlets may curl like the vine: But I'm not like an angel at all ! Nor ant I the least bit divine ! So be off with you now—don't I see Your deluding from eve until dawn My step may be bounding and free, But I am not in the least like a fawn! But 'twas ever the method, we know, Since Adam in Eden began— The bosoms were sure to be snow, And necks of course like the swan ! Genie be oft with you now, until you learn To woo like a plain hearted youth ; Let your mind, if you love me discern, To win, you must woo me with truth ! I would rather—instead of these flowers, In which you are ever so rife— That you promised to love me all hours, . As long as each other had life ! I Wait For Thee ¶-3w The heart is swept—the fire is bright, The kettle sings for tea; The cloth is spread—the lamps are light, The hot cakes smoke in napkins white, And now I wail for thee. Come come, love, home, thy task . is done; The clock ticks listeningly, The blinds are shut—the curtain down, The warm chair to the fireside drawn, The boy is on my knee. Come home, love, home, his deeply fond eye Looks round him wistfully, And when the whispering winds go by, As if thy welcome step was nigh, crows exultingly. In vain—he finds the welcome vain, And turns his glance on mine, So earnestly, that yet again His form unto my heart I strain, That glance is so like thine. Thy task is done, we miss thee here. Where'cr thy footsteps roam, No heart will spread such kindly cheer, Nii heating heart, no listening ear, Like tho,e who wait thee home. Ah, long the crisp walk last .

Burnett, on the character of the rattle snake. Thu doctor had been experimenting on two or three specimens of this animal, and announces the discovery of numerous embryo poison fangs in the jaws of the snake immediately behind the outward fangs. The use of these hidden weapons of de struction appears to be to supply the place of the biting fangs of the serpent when they get broke offer worn out in service. It also appears that the long fangs (two in number) which are used in inflicting the bite of the rattlesnake, are naturally shed every few years, when they are not injured by acci dent or wear, and the reserve flings are suf ficiently numerous to meet the worst emer gmcies. From minute microscopical exami. nation of the structure of these teeth, Dr. 13. concludes that there are two mullein each ¶-4w fang, only one of which conveys the poison I to the wound. Respecting the character of the poison itself, the doctor remarks as fol lows : "There is good reason for the belief that , its action is the same upon all living things vegetables as well as animals. It is even just as fatal to the snake itself as to other animals. for Dr. Dearing informed me that one of his specimens, after being irritated and annoyed in its cage, in moving sudden ly, accidentally struck one of its fangs into his own body—it soon rolled over and died as any other animal would have done. Here, then, we have the remarkable, and perhaps unique philosophical fact. of a li quid secreted directly from the blood, which proves deadly when introduced into.. the very source (tin' blond) from which it MIS derived." In order to scrutinize by the aid of the mi croscope the operation of this deadly agent on the blood, Dr. B. stupitied one of Ow fiercest of his snakes by dropping chloro form upon his head. "Twenty-five or thirty drops being allow , ed to fall on his head, one slowly alter the other, the sound of his rattle gradually died away, and in a few minutes he was wholly 1 under this agent. He was then adroitly I seized behind the jaws with the thumb and I fore-finger, and dragged from the cage and lallowed partially to resuscitate ; in this state a second person held his tail to prevent his coiling round the arm of the first, while a third opened his mouth, and with a pair of forceps, pressed the fang upward, caus ing a flow of poison which was received on the end of the scalpel. 'The snake was then returned in the cage. Blood was then ex tracted from a finger. from close microscop ical examination. The smallest quantity of the poison being presented to the blood be tween the glasses, a change was immediate ly perceived—the corpuscles ceased to run and pile together, and remained stagnant without any special alteration of structure. The whole appearance was as though the vitality of the blood had been suddenly de- Stroyetl, exactly as in death from lightning. Tros agrees with LtIC cApc , i,t1,11,. ~,, ft" ~..r./ -- on a fowl, where the whole mass of blood ap peared quite liquid, and having little coagu lablo power." Dr. Burnett is of the opinion that the phy siological action of the poison of the rattle snake in animals is that of a most powerful sedative, acting through the blood on the nervous centres. He supports this position by the remarkable fact that its full and com plete antidotes are the most active stimu lants ; arid of these alcohol (commonly in the form of rum or whisky) is the first. This remedy is well known at the South, and there are seine twenty-five authentic cases on record proving that a person suflering the bite of a rattlesnake may drink one to two quarts of clear brandy with feeling the slightest tendency to intoxi in and eventually recover.

The Man Retired from Business. Almost every man sets out in life with the determination, when a certain sum has been accumulated, to retire from the cares of business, and enjoy the balance of his days .com lovably'. Visions of sunny farms and rural retreats are ever before him ; but, unfortunately, few men have the courage, when the required sum has been obtained, to be contented and retire.• In the course of years, new tastes have been acquired, and new wants added to the humble catalogue with which he commenced life. The rural retreat has become a suburban residence, with coach houses, stables, &c., and a few thousands more have become necessary.— So, he goes toiling on, his ambition widen ing and extending as he pushes and urges •his way on to competence and fortune.— During all this time he forgets that he is growing . older—that his capacity for enjoy t lent is outing mute euntrattett-everyjuay— that his tastes and habits are becoming con firmed in business life, so that when he does muster up the firmness to yield his place in the business world to younger men, he is about as unhappy a mortal as one could meet on a summer's day. It is related of a tallow chandler of Lon don, who had accumulated a fortune and re tired to his villa, that time hung so heavy upon his hands that he used to have a melt ing day once a week, and make his own cundles, for amusement. fie had probably I neglected through his life .to lay in a store of knowledge, to cultivate a taste for reading, j or otherwise prepare his mine as well as his pocket, for the purposes of a life of leisure. His great object had been to make enough Ito retire on, without caring to provide I something to retire with. IThat man alone can hope to enjoy a pleasant leisure ie the evening of his days, `who has intellectual means of enjoyment always ut command. lie roust, or should, be tottisfied willva comfortable independence jand leitite the cares of business in the me ridian of life—if he can--before he becomes so thorunehly hibituated to a certain routine, to deviate (mitt which. or to leave, instead of coinfeit or happiness, would only make i him miserable and dkeontended.—Yew Or ' leans Della. 11OW TO CHOOSE: A "BETTY."—HOUBe keeping is not so full of sunshine and rose colored bliss as many imagine.

Old Pepper graSs was the "customer" for discriminating between the useful and the careless. Pep pergrass sent word to the intelligence office that he wanted . it good girl for general house work. About the time he expected an 813. pliCallt he laid a brocim down in the yard near the gate. Presently a girl comes to the gate, opens it. and strools up to the house ; the broom being immediately in the path, Miss 13Ctsey strides over it, the old man was on the watch, and the first salute . the girl got was : "I don't want you!" The girl, sloped, and suddenly another bullet-headed Nancy appears: seeing the old broom in the way, she gives it a kick, mid waddles up to the house. "You won't suit me, that's certain, Miss MoPsy !" bawls Peppergmss. She disappeared in n hurry, and finally a third appears, opened the gate, and com ing into the yard, she carefully closes the gate behind her, and 'walks up—the broom is still in tho path, she picks it up and car ries it along to the house, where she depos its it alongside the wood-shed. Beforp,oo girl could explain her business there c ,Pep‘ pergrass bawls out— • • “Yes, yes. come in, you'll suitme And she did, for that girl lived with Pep pergrass seven years. and only quit living with him to go:to housekeeping on her own book and a capital wife she made.
