TUE STING AND A firri.
The expression "sting," as used repeat
edly by Shakspeare, as applied to snakes,
is altogether incorrect: the tongue has
nothing to do with the infliction of injury.
Serpents bite, and the difference between
the harmless and the venomous serpents
is simply this: the mouths of the harmless
snakes and the whole tribe of toes are
provided with sharp teeth, but no ,fanvi ;

snake suddenly, but almost imperceptibly,
turned his head according to the rabbit's
movements, as if to keep the object with
in the range of his eye. At length, the
rabbit, totally unconscious of hie situation,

he was one congeries of coils around his

neck, just under the ear, and was evident
ly exerting the strongest pressure round
the throat of the quadruped, thereby pre.
veatipg the expansion of the chest, and at
the same time depriving the,,parterior ex

cried after the first - seiznie ; he lay with
his hind legs stretched out, still breathing
with difficulty, as could be seen by the
motion of his flanks. Presently he made'
one desperate struggle with his hind legs,
but the snake cautiously applied another
coil with such dexterity as completely to
manacle the lower extremities, and in a
bout 8 minutes the rabbit was quite dead.
He then very gradually and carefully un
coiled himself, and finding that his victim
moved not, opened his mouth, let go his
hold, and put 'nos head opposite the fore
part of the rabbit. The boa, generally,
I observed, begins at the head ; but in this
instance, the serpent having begun with
the legs, was longer in gorging his prey
than usual, and in consequence of the dif-,
ficulty presented by the awkward position
of the rabbit, the dilation and secretion of
lubricating mucus were excessive. The
serpent first got the fore-lega into his
mouth; he then coiled himself round the
rabbit, and appeared to draw out the dead
body through the folds; he then began to
dilate his jaws, and folding the rabbit firm.

prey was completely higulfed, the mirpent
lay for a few moments with his dislocated
jaws still dropping with the mucus, xhich
had lubricated the parts, and at this
he looked 'quite ioffielently' die ititing.

old-fashiotted, large-sized gold stud.
John placed it in the button-hole of the

spired Bitola on the opposite side. "Deli

wu called tor, and placed by John over
his breast. F ur a short time lie lay pet

- The Doctor picked up one of his tardy:
ilondolph of Roanoke—"shall I writtit

"Yes, nothing more proper."
The word remorse was then written is
pencil. He took the card in I histrhod
manner, and fastened his eyes on it With
great intenlsity.
"Write it on the back," he exclaimed.
It Was to done, and handed him again.
He waeettremely agitated. •''

The Doctor now introduced the subject
