The slave knew it and Ircmblrd. His immobility was completo. For tho whole American empire he would not have dared lo raise Ins eyes, lie would havo given ten years of his lite to have found himself far from sin h a frightful enemy. Neither did tho serpent move, liaised up in his coil, he overlooked the rass of the savannah ui.h his head dotted with epota of the col -r of ocre of vrllow and o augo; his eyes like velvet, and bin ds the clouds of that region, Fpirklcd and appeartd t i en, it sparkles of fire liko a brilliant sii ne. lie breathed the air with voluptousnets, 1.11J olleied llt tlo by little, every part of his body t the burning rays of the sun. 1t a man ignorant of thedunger to stop in the pioxnnity of his reptile, it would be a real pleasure to contemplate rts delicatcncss, the expiession of its eyes, and the grace of its movements. The ser pent did not delay long in beginning to leip, draw ing in the air rapid circles, producing a weak sound like tilk coni ng in contact with a w.dl. The slave tretnbbd more nnd more, when he heard a strange noise which he believed came from the grass, which pinmk with force. His imagination presented an t-ntire family of serpents, ready to cast themselves upon him. Fear obliged him to enlarge his sight. What was his astonishment on seeing that the ser pnit Fustaint-d a terrible contest with a bird ! He Hit n knew that his life was riot threatened, nnd blessed heavon in the sequel disposing him to flee ; when, seeing thnt tho reptile had lost the grea'cr part of i's vigor, ho wished lo be picjunt .it the and of that strange combat. His post was not now dangerous, and cutiosity dc' lined him. ' The combat continued with ferocity. The l'r.l k'-pt in constant motion his sharp talons, and woun- d. d the sen cnl deeply with his pointed beak. The serpent biing much exasperated, dragged it self through the grass, nnJ divided the air in all i'i rectiot s, a; e iliiif to ita whole ferce and cunning, lhrjwii! hinwlf towards tho river lo avoid the blows of bis enemy. Hut thcbiid fallowed him in the air without t(op;:iig between the gr.ss, to the brink of t'-.e river, and attacked him with each time with renewed rage. Only now end thon tho l iid gr .nted the terpen! n kind of truce.
