In the year 1823, sntnan, under the nom dequerre ol John Tb.uinp.son, was traveling through the United States, exhibiting him self as a snake-eater, to the astonishment of the natives. He had a horse and van, tarried his own tent from town to town, and generally pitched it in the suburbs. The tent held about 150 persons comfortably, and when John Thompson, whrTwa-i his own dK)ikeeper, found he had a sufticent number within, he closed the niterture, jnin cd upon a srua'I phi 1 form, and tinkled a bell, upon which a curtain was tailed, and the perform er commenced his duties. The man seemed to be about twenty-eight years of ago ; his face u thin, and a leaden wanness o,cr spread his features; but his sunken eyes hud that supernutti-al bright nes so often seen in the eyes of the consumptive. His voice, though faint, was musical, but interrupted by :m occasional cough ; and as lie removed his cravat, and turned up his wiL-tbai:ds over the cuffs of his coat, he pointed to a box before hiro, covered with glass, and said, "if any one desires to satisfy himself with r'iard to the reptile which I am now about to devour in the presence of you all, and to restore again from my throat, alive, he wiil please draw near and csaninie h" He then turned the box on end, display ing the glass cover to the audience, and dis closed to thv.-ir sight a hideous rattlesnake. It was coiled, and when disturbed, elevated its spiry head from its circle, and while its forked tonsuc played with a rapid tuotion. it darted a.iinst the glass in vain attempts to escape, while its rattle continued to quiv er, with a violent and whizzing hound, ac compared by that apparent flattening of the head which denotes the highest pitch of re sentment. Its dilated eyes shot fire, and th coarse scales in its contorted form prew rue gel in its anger. There was no mistake about its being a veritable snake. After this the box was put in its original position of glass uppermost. A chilly shud der ran through the audience at the next performance. The snake eater turned his back to the company, and bent hi.s face for a moment over the edge of tluj box, and a kind of chuckling sound was heard before he drew forth the horrible reptile in his hand. The snake no seemed languid aod passive, although the rtttles continued to wund. He then placed the head of the venomous serpent to his lips, and opened hie mouth, and tilt long coil began to de fcerid. It was an appaliinjr sight to see the l''ige reptile gradually going down the throat ot a human being. The cheeks of theyoung man began to dilate, and his complexion be came a livid purple. His eyes seemed burst ing from their sockets : masses of foata gath er d about his lips: and he looked as if he was undergoing the most mortal agony, and even exhibited the throes of death. On one occasion no less than twelve of his audi ence were taken out in fainting Eta. After apparently mumbling and crushing the fearful meal, the ;Dakc cater again par t ally opened his lips, and the forked tongue t the reptile was seen playing like threa Is nf bright red fire between them. Present ly it began to emerge. It moved very slow ly as if held baek by other serpents who had 'receded it, in the awful deglution of its master. As the long.Ioathesome folds hung from his lips, and contintied to extend, the features of the snake-eater assumed their wonted appearance, and in a moment the reptile had emerged, was replaced in the box, nd the feat was accomplished. Then after seating himself for a few sec onds, to recover from the, perilous execution of his task, the unake-eater ar6e and d addressed the audience. Ho desired them to believe that he had wished not to appall but to surprise them. There was, he ac knowledged, an art in what he had done.but H was a mysterious and un discoverable one. 'They call me mad," he added bitterly,'and conjurer, but a conjurer I am not, and though I have been mad, I am not Dow.yet often do I wish I were. You will denomi nate my calling one of foolish haxardand Perhaps of disgust.but did yon know all you ould judge mo better. I thank you for your attendance ; and if I have' succeeded in surprising you, my aim has been w. r ' THE SMtl IITM I BIOGRAPHY, AND THE WAV THE trick was do!. One day John Thompson had performed in the suburbs of a western city, when a gen tleman appeared among the audience who had known the snakoeater under a different name, and in a different sphere of life ; in fact, they had been college chums, and the visitor this eveninjc had considered that the snake eater's lot would have been cast in quite a different nionld. The old fellow col legians met. Eight years only had they parted. and yet what changes had taken place in that period. 'Will you not go back with me to En gland?" said Thompson's old companion. "No," answered the snake cater. "I must die in a land where all those I hold sa cred are buried. I will tell you my short but melancholy history, and afterward don't question inc, but keep my secret. Let nie spin out the few years alloted to me as John Thompson and lot me select the spot where I must be buried. "But to coiue to facts, my friend ; I am not what you think I am. Though regarded hereabouts as one who has dealings with fa miliar spirits and wizards. I am only a bro ken hearted man. the child of sorrow, and almost without hope. I do not speak this for your sympathy, for human sympathy can but at best awaken afresh the wells of mournful tenderness in my breast, without pouring one ra." of sunshine upon the trou bled fountains ; they must flow on in dark ness, without a prospect of day ; yet listen to my story. "About eight years ago, with the spirit of adventure stirring within me, 1 came from the walls of an English University to the far western States of America. I wrote to my parents for, in fact I asked for, my at rinionv, and said I would never expect any more from them. They sent inc a handsome sum, and I sought with this capital in hand to make trade with tLe Indians, and there fore took land dose to the frontier. I bought furs from the tiatives,and bartered generally with them. For all the country could pro duce I gave manufactured articles; and thus I went on prosperously. My capital doubled, trilled, quadrupled in fact, in all respects I was prosperous. Then followed a love affair, and it was pure love with tne, my friend. The family of my affianced thought I lived too much out of civilized life, and would uot consent to our union ; so we elo pe 1. and what a wife she-wade me ! I speak not. in rhapsody, but fhe was the lovliest being i hat ever inhabited this lower world. None could excel her in beauty, and the made that beauty perfect by the graces of a mind fire and highly cultivated. Her voice was melody, her smile a burst of pure and living light, and her calm blue eyes were the sweet expositors of a sinless affection. To speak no more of her perfections, suffice to say that I loved her niith my whole soul. She was my idol ; her happiness was the centre of uiy every wish, and she was the object of every aspiration. "We were married ; time went on, and brought me a bud from the rose I had estab lished in my green bower at home. We were indeed happy then. Aloof from soci ety, though we missed a few of its luxuries, we suffered none of its vexations and de moralizing corruptions. On Sundays we role many miles through the wilderness to attend a place of worship established by the missionaries, and to hear the word of God read and revealed. "On the day that my dear littleSarah had attained her .second year,sho was seated near to my counter, and her mother was standing by, when three fierce looking Indians enter ed the store. They had evidently traveled a long way for their leggings were torn aud dirty, and their feet were almost bare. I recognized one of them instantly as the Crouching Wolf, a desperate being who hung alternately around the skirts of settle ments, begging for rum, or getting it in bar ter for the furs of wild animals. Just a year previous to this he had visited me for the purpose of procuring the 'fire-water' ; I had refused him, and he left me with the vow of f uture vengeance. " 'Hoogh !' said he as he reeled up with his gruff looking companions toward the counter where tny chill was playing and my wife stood, 'the Crouching Wolf said he would come back. He wants the talking water ; he wauts that, or revenge. He will have one. ' "I tried to reason with him. but he was deaf to reason. He had tasted from the flagon of one of his red companions, and the fumes were in his brain. " 'Come, medicine man,' said he, 'the Wolf wants the fire-milk. Where is it? He cannot wait. - His spirit is up, and his forehead is warm.' "I saw that he grew desperate, but my resolution was taken. I sternly denied him ; it was a fatal denial. "During the colloquy my wife and child had gone out on the green sward, and the latter was picking wild flowers and stringing them. The Crouching Wolf left me,growl ing some gutteral sentences to his compan ions; and, oh, merciful Heavens! I saw them advance toward my child. I was mo tionless, and paralyzed with terror. As the Wolf approached my little girl, he drew a tomahawk from his belt, and flourished it on high. I sprang toward him. but was pushed back by his companions. The dear innocent, unaffrighted child smiled in the face of the Crouching Wolf, and it seemed as if the cheerful purity of her look stayed his vengeful arm. He paused.until a scream from the mother aroused the terror of the littlo girl. She then shrunk back from the releutless savage, while the mother, like myself, was kept at bay, and the dear little innocent, quivering with dismay, said, in childish simplicity, 'Naughty Indian f if he hurts Sarah ma will be angry aud punish him.' "As she said this she burst into tears her last forever. In one instant the tren chant weapon of the infuriated Indian clove asunder the tread of my babe ; in the next his excited comrades, of whom now there were five, had murdered the wife of my bosom. I have an indistincLand horrid re Hseinbrance of my burning store the red fiends yelling over the consuming roof and walls and my escape to the forest. The rest was but silence and oblivion I was a madman. "Ten months after that I found myself in New Orleans. 1 had reached the city no one knew how had been conveyed to a hos pital. kindly treated, and dircharued as cur otibut an outcast and a beggar. Misfortunes sehloiu come alone, I found that during mv seelasioB from tbe wcnrkl my father had died, and as I had already received my share of his property, the residue meltej away among ieveral brothers and sisters. My in heritance on this side tbe Atlantic being de stroyed by Indians, I was without a home or a friend. "How I subsisted I scarcely know. At last as I was one day walking moodily along, I saw a group collected around an Indian who was performing tricks from a box with a rattlesnake. The Indian was Crouching Wolf. "The murderer of my wife and child ! I exclaimed, as I penetrated through the ring and with one fierce blow felled the vile mon ster to the earth. I seized him by the throat and placed my knee upon his breast. In a few moments he was a distorted aud ghastly corpse beneath my feet. "My award of retribution was considered just, and no effort was made to arrest me Availing myself of the box belonging to the Crouching Wolf, which I coutended wa mine as a debt, I soon learned the mysteiy of his art, as if by intuition. An upper drawer of tbe box contained tbe real rattle snake; an under drawer merely the s-kin of one, which could be inflated by the breath at will. The motion of the tongue, which was dried aud had wires within, was pro duccd by the same cause. Filled from the lungs, it could readily be taken iuto the mouth, and compressed into a very small compass, and while re pas tins outward, in flated again. I bought a new snake frJui the museum, which I killed and prepared according to the model fore nie. I could no endure the thought of even using the same instruments employed by the destroyer of all that I most loved on eiirth, and I turned from his trickery with a feeling of almost positive loathing ; yet in the end I did not see why I should not inuke capital out of it. "A little practice made me an adept in the mystery of snake earing.and I have rfnee wandered in loneliness from town to tetfn, attempting this curious enterprise. "My pe cuniary success has been suiBoient for try comfort and convenience, and the dsnger of tho feat is only in appearance. With a slight exettion 1 can turn my face ime the colors and contortions you witnessed thisdny But these things can only temporarily divert my thoughts, for I carry within rny heart an aching fever, which no prosperity can allay or remove. The objects which have cheeted me can cheer tne no metre. I starrd alone in this wilderness world, a lsoumer and a pilgrim. My visions are of my wife and child ; my day-dreams are of them ; but 1 niu;.t suffer, as you see, nntil I meet them in that better country where the sun de sends not.and dark'wss is unknown ; 'whine the wicked cease from troubling, aud the weary are at rest.' I can fortret my child, lor her existence seems to me like a misty trance.in the fond assurance that the spark ling dew-drop has exhaled in heaven ; but the cherished rose that sustained it, I cease not to grieve. Alas for the wife of my bos om !" With the ls-st words the snake cater s voice failed, his body was convulsed, until a flood of tears relieved him. He would hear ro sympathetic words from his friend, but parted with him thus: "You alone, have my secret. In a few months more my body must be co&signed to the earth on the sacred spot where my wife and child were murder ed. You shall be one of the executors of my will, and I beseech you faithfully to car ry oi my instructions." The . snake-cater was right ; in a few months after this interview he died ; and now, in the very centre of a populous town, cn the banks of the Mississippi, may be seen a tombstone recording the events which I occurred on tbnt spot and the hope of the departed husband that he should meet his wife and child in heaven. "Don't you think tny son resembles me?" inquired an apothecary, as he introduced his greasy-faced boy tothe wity Dr. II- "Yes," replied the doctor, pretending to scan the physiognomy of each ; "yes, I think I see your liniments in his countenance." Two Quaker girls were ironing at the same table. One asked the other which sha would take, the right or the left. She answered promptly, "It will be right for me to take the left, and then it will be left for thee to take the right." He only is the true poet who strives ear nestly to enact his highest, best thoughts; this is his hardest task.and only as he stead fastly labors for its fulfillment is he worthy of his sacred nr nie.

Samuel Yessie, the old East India mer chant and thip owner, left a large property to his wife and children. To his three sors he left his ships and his business, together with all the books and papers of his office, aud having made this provision he went on m his. will to oay : "Among tny debtors are many worthy men whom I have not pressed, and vh m I would not consign to needless s ifTering. It is my desire thai those who deserve forgiveiiess u;ay be forgiven, even as 1 prav that uiy Heavenly Father -may forgive inc. When the sous came to take possession ot the business, one of flteir tir.st moves after having provided for the management of more weighty matters, was to eou.sider this injunction of their father's will. "Our father has left us enough," said John, the eider brother, "and we will not fail to honor his memory and his wishes." "And lead others to hold ihat memory green and sacred," added Andrew, the sec nd brother. "Whai says Peter ?" The youn;er thus addressed spoke as fol lows : "We will" not forget our father's oft re peated prayer, "Forgive us our debts :s we forgive our debtors, ' for I think he died with that prayer upon lis lips or it his heart at least. 1 would suggest that Mr. Whherspooo be requested t- make out a list of those debtors whom he may judge to be worthy of forgiveness. Ho has been our father's confidential clerk and correspond ent for almost thirty years, and probably knows the exact character and standing of every person indebted. Let him give us a list with such marginal explanation as we may deem necessary, and we can then do as we deem proper in individual eases." l'eter's plan was adopted. The old clerk made out the list, and the amount of in debtedness thus set down, without reckon ing interest, wa3 over twenty thousand dol lars. "A large sum," said John, thoughtfully. "And lunik of the interest," suggested Andrew. "Not so large as was our father's," add ed I'eter, "and bearing so much interest as I uust his account bears, in Leaven." John and Andrew shook Felcr by the hand, while little Sammy, John's sou, a lad of five years, asked how aa accouut could bear interest iu heaven. "I'eter must explain that," said his fath er. And Peter took the boy upon Lis knee, and told hiiii what he meant toid hiiu a bout doing good, and how God loved to have us do good to one another, and how we could lay up treasures in heaven. And he asked the boy if be understood; and Sam my said he di4. Time passed on. One cool, bleak day in the late autumn a woman eutered the count ing hou.se. She was past the middle age, humbly but 6eatly c!ad, with a face pale aud frank, and marked with care. John and Peier were in the otiaeo, ani Master Sammy was iu the corner, behind Andrew's empty desk, buildi" houses with old log books. "Is Mr. Yessie in?" the visitor asked, timidly, and with uiauh tremulousness. "That is my name, madam, 'returned John, handing her a chair, "and this is uiy brother." "Your father hell an account, against my husband, and 1 have come to .settle it." "What isyutsr husband's uauie?" "He is dead, sir. His name was Law rence Patten.' "Do you know what was the ua:ure of the indebeteduess?" "It was a-debt of honor, sir; and uiy husband could only be content when I had promised him, upon my bended kuess, that it should be paid. Your father was his boudsvian for a large sum. He was collect or of taes, and a partner whom he had trusted run away with a groat deal of uion. ey so much that it crippled him! and would have ruined him, il your father had not saved him. He was a poor man, sir, but God knows he was honest." The woman wiped her eyes, and little Sammy came out from behind the desk. "When Lawrence know that he must die," she resumed, "he placed in my hands all of his accounts, and all property, and he bade me rest tint until I had grrthered to gether enough to pay the indebtedness. He said Mr. Yessie had been like a father to him had put forth his hand, saved him when others had forsaken him and he would rather bU children should beg than that dishonor should attach to hi.s memory. "Did your husband owe much else?" "No sir. He contracted no debts for his living. This was all but it was a heavy debt for him to bear." "You say you have raised the money?" "Yes, sir. The original debt was three thousand five hundred dollars. The in terest he said he didn't think Mr. Yes sie would take more than simple interest brings it up to some over five thousand." "I will find the account, my good woman, and see how it stands." Thus saying, John opened a drawer of his dek" and drew forth thi list wbk-a Mr. Witherspoon had prepared, and the very firet name was that of Lawrence Patten ; and against it? in the old clerk's hand, was the following : "An honest mon,nnd poor; His indebtedness entirely thr, result of the ah tcondwq Ifusiuex partner." Then John found the note, given nine years before,with the interest, to the time ot the clerk's ma king the litrt, cast up on the back. "The principal and interest I find to be five thousand three hundred and sixty-two dollars," . "I know it roust be not far from that," said the widow. She shuddered aud quiv ered as she spoke. "You tuust find it hard to pay this, Mrs. Patten." , "In one sense it is very hard, fir, but in another it is 'very easy, because it is right, and because I know my itry hasbaud would but She wiped her eyes again," and opened her reticule. Little Sammy began to look" indignant.' His eyelids were laden' with dew and his bosom swelled. Just then John Yessie tore the notes in to pieces ; and gave tlsose pieces to the wid ow, who took them mechanically, and as she clutched thetrr in her hand she drew from the reticuTe a large pocket book. "Don't take any money here, my good woman. You owe us nothing." "But sir " "It is all right. The debt is paid." "Paid? the debt?" "Yes. When our father.in his last hours,' came to realize how much he might need cf God's forgiving grace, he, in his heart, for gave his worthy and unwiling debtors", and he enjoined it upon us that we should honor Lis memory among his fe'huts. Your hus band's debt he forgave on eatth as he hop ed to be forgiven in heaven : and I have cancelled the obligation." For a time tho widow sat like one in a dream. Then she folded her hands and tried to speak ; but tears and s:ibs choked her uterance. Finally sha raised her s treaming eyes toward heaven, and to God she found speech. She blessed the sons; and she prayed thatall joy and peace might be theirs forever nruf cwr. She was happy very happy ; life now offered her hope of comfort. She would go to her home, and she would teach her children to bless the memory of Samuel Yessie, and to pray for the good of his sons. And with a fact more radiant than the had worn for months, she turned from the office, weeping still in the exuberance of her joy. John wiped his eyes and looked up. 'I'eter, what do you' think of that?" "I was thinking," replied the rounger brother, "what we ought to pay Andrew for his share of the heart-wealth of this scene." "Uncle Pete, isn't this what you told me was laying up treasure in heaven?" "Yes, yes, uiy boy!" "And won't Uncle Aodrcw'Wn his share of it up there where God is?" "Yes yes." PiiTtopiiECY Fulfilled. A striking ful fillment of prophecy has lately come to pass through the Palestine exploration,' found in the work of Lieutenant Warren, is liis c-x cavations in and about Jerusalem. Shafts have been sunk in variou-i directions, some to the depth of ninety feet, and beneath the soil and accumulated debris ot ages are found the walls of the Temple, in almost as good condition as when first constructed, and of ancient buildings, and of these re built, of old materials, of tenements gone to wreck from the inroads of time. Here then after thousands of years have gona by since tbe Prophet Isaiah, chap. 29 verse 4. pro claimed "Aud thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be lo'w out of the lust,and' thy voice shall be as one that hath a familiar spirit out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of tlie dust," that Jerusa lem just as it stood of old, with the Temple, its palaces and its surroundings, all of which not a trace could more be found, now in the very words of Prophecy comes forth, speak ing to us out of the ground, and low out of the dust, and like the familiar spirit, who i called up tse spirit of the dead, the "City of God" appears, testifying to the truth of sciipt'irc,. and of the certain fulfillment of prophecy. A Lovelv- Incident. We recently heard the following most touching incident: A little boy died. His body was laid out. in a darkened, retired room, waiting to be laid away in the lone, cold grave. His afflicted mother and bereaved sister went in to look at the sweet face of the precious sleeper, for his face was beautiful even in death. As they stood gazing upon the form of one so beloved and cherished, the little girl asked to take his hand. The mother at f?rst did not think it best, but as the child repeated the request, aud seemed very anxious about it, she took the cold bloodless hand of the sleeping boy, and placed it in the hands of the weeping sister. The dear child held it a moment, caressed it fondly, and then look ed up at her mother through her tears of affection and love, and said : "Mother this little hand never struck me!" What could be more touching and lovely? Young readers, have you always been so gentle to brothers and sisters that, were you to die, such a tribute as this could be paid to your memory? Could a brother-or sister take your hand, were it cold in death, aud say : "'This hand never struek roe!" The lest game of base ball we ever read of transpired in Bridgeport, Ct., a few nights since. A party of roughs attempted to clean out a beer saloon, but the owner seized a ball club and put them oot, scoring three strikes and three runs. The roughs wenf out on a fly and were caught by the police. True conrage consists not in a stupid con tempt of danger, but in preserving, on the most dangerou3 occasions, the calm use Df our reason, with a determination to act up to its dictates. Many things that are certain are contra dicted ; many that are false pass without contradiction ; contradiction is no proof of falsehood, nor universal assent of truth.- Tne Carifp Man Outdone. From the , Oil City (Pa) Times of Friday last, we learn that while Mr. William Thompson assisted by Robert R. Smith, was engaged in making an excavation near the house of the former, about half a mile north of West Hickory, preparatory to erecting a derrick, they ex humed ar enormous helmet of iron which was coiroded with rust. Further diggiug brought to light a sword which measured nine teet in Lrgth. Curiosity incited them to enlarge the hole, and alter some little time they discovered tho bones of two enor mous feet. Following up the " lead" ihey had so unexpectedly struck, in a short lime they had unearthed a well preserved skeleton of the human family which probnly inhabit ed this and7 otbr parts of the world at that time of which the Bible speaks, when it says: "And were giants i.i those days." The helmet is said to be of the shape of those found amoung the ruins of Nineveh. The borres of tha skeleton are remarkable white. The teeth are all in their places ard all of them are double and cf extraordinary size. These relics have been taken to Tion esta, wnere tney are vtsitea by a ltrge number of people' daily'. When his giant ship was in the flesh he must have stood eighteen feet in his stockings. The joints of the skeleton are now being forwarded to New York. Those remains were found bout twelve f et below the surface of a I mound whieh had been t nrown by probably j centuries ago, and which was not more than three feet abve the level of the grounq around it. Here is another nut for anti quarians to crack. Keep Your Books. Every man, whet ti er he be "his own lawyer" or not, would do well to be his own book-keeper. He would have fewer ocasious for consulting the law, and when compelled to do so would be much more certain of getting his rights. Some men trust eveything to memory dates, names, places, accounts, agreements, every thing in the way of business, and the couse quent confusion or treachery of memory, leads to half the almost interminable diffi culties with which their lives are troubled.

Badly Sold'. Mr. A. called on' a farmer, and asked him (he price ot oats, and was informed that they were worth thirty-five cents per bushel. He agreed to pay forty cents on condition that he should be alowed to "tramp'' them in the half bushel. To secure the bargain, he paid for twelve bush els, and the nest day-took his wagon and went after then;. The farmer filled the half bushel, after which Mr. A. got in and gave a most vigorous "'tramping" contracting their proportions considerably. The farmer thereupon emptied the oats info the bag without filling up the measure. Mr. A. raved, but it was no use. The farmer had complied with his part of the agreement, and as an evidence.told Vr. A. after he had measured the oats,he might "'tramp" them all day. "My dear," id' Mrs. Bumble to her daughter, "you must have something warm around you in the carriage."
