THE WORTH OP WOMAN!

Honored I woman ! she beams on the sight,
Graceful and fnir, like a being of liuht ;
Scatters arnund her, wherever she strays,
Roses of bliss on our thorn covered ways ;
Hoses of Paradise, sent from above,
To be gathered and twined in a garland of love.
Man. on pnssinn's stormy ocean.
Tossed tv surges mountain hich,
Courts the hurricane' commotion,
Spurns at reason's feeble cry.
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Louder still it roars wiihin,
Plashing light of hope confound him.
Stuns with life's incessant din.
Woman invites him with bliss in her smile,
To cer.se from his ti.il and be hippy awhile ;
Whispering wooincly come to my bower
fo n it in search if the phantom of power
Honor and wealth are il'tis-ry come !
Happiness dwells in the temples of home.
Man with fury Mem and savage,
Persecutes h's brother m:in,
Reckless if he bless or rav.ige,
Action, action ."till his plan.
Now creatine now destroying ;
Cejscle-s wishes tear his breast ;
Ever seekinn, never j yini; ;
Si ill to he, but never blest.
Woman, content d in silent repose,
Enj.ys in its beauty, life's (Wcr a it blows.
And waters and tends it with innocent heart j
Far richer than man with bis tn asurrs of art ;
And wiser by fur in the circles confined.
Than he w ith his science and light of the mind.
Coldly to himself sufficing,

Slowly from his h.'Som stealing,
Flows the gcni.it current on,
Till by ace's frot conce ding,

She, like the harp, that instlnclive'y rinos,
As the night breathing zephyr soft fcihs on the

Responds tj each imr ulse with steady reply,
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try ;
A nd tear drops and smiles on her countenance play,
Like sun shine and showers of a morning in May.
Through 'ha race of man's dominion
Terror is the rutins word
And the stand ird of opinion
Is the temper of the snord.
Strife exults, and pity blushing,
For the scene departing flies,
Where to battlo madly rushing,

"I'n'il my ghastly tale ia tnld,
Tl is heart within me burna."
During a dreadful excursion in the vicinity
of the Green Mountains, a few yearn since, I
had the pood fortune to meet with a singular
character, known in many pirts of Vermont as picture
me luiMiesnase iiumcr, n was a warm, cieir
tennncc a softness a delicacy, and a sweet
ness of smile which I hnvo seldom seen in the
features of those who have tasted, even slight
ly the bitter waters of existence. The old man
watched my countenance intently, as I survey
ed the image ol his early love. "She must
have been very beautiful," 1 said as I returned
lay of sunshine, in the middle of June, that 1
saw him for the first time, while engaged in a
mincralngic.il ramble among the hills. His
head was bald, and his forehead was deeply
marked with the strong lines of care and age.
1 1 is form was wasted and mengre; and but for
the fiery vigor of his eye, he might have been
supposed incapacitated by age and infirmities
for even a slight exertion. Vet he hurried over
the huge ledges of rock with a quick and al
most youthful tread ; and seemed earnestly
searching among the crevices and loose crags
and stinted bushes around him. All at once,
he started suddenly drew himself back with
sort of shuddering recoil and then smote
fiercely with his staff upon the rock before him.
Another and another blow and lie lifted the
lithe and crushed form of a large rattlesnake
upon the end of his rod.
The old man's eye glistened, but his lip trem
bled as he looked steadfastly upon his yet writh
ing victim. "Another of the accursed race !"
he muttered between his clenched teeth, ap
parently unconscious of my presence.
I was now satisfied that the person before
me was none other than the famous Rattle
snake Hunter. lie was known throughout the
neighborhood as an outcast and a wanderer,
obtaining a miserable subsistence from the casu
al charities of the people around him. His
time was mostly spent among the rocks and
"Beautiful!" he repeated, "you may well
sny so. But this avails nothing. I have a
fearful story to tell : would to God I had not
attempted it ; hut I will go on. My heart bus
been stretched too often on the rack of memo
ry to suffer any new pang."
"We had resided in the new country nearly
a year. Our settlements had increased rapid
ly, and the comforts and delicacies of life were
beginning to be felt, after the weary privations
and severe trials to which we had been sub
jected. The red men were few and feeble, and
did not molest us. The beast of the forest and
mountain were ferocious, but we suffered little
from them. The only immediate dancer to
which we were exposed resulted from the rat
tlesnakes which infested our neighborhood.
Three or four of our settlers were bitten by
them, and died in terrible agonies. The In
dians often told us frightful stories of this snake
and its powers of fascination, and although
they were generally believed, yet for myself,
I confess, I was rather amused than convinced
by their marvellous legends.
"In one of my hunting excursions abroad, on
a fine morning it was just at this time of the
year, I was accompanied by my wife. 'Twas
a beautiful morning. The sunshine was warm
but the atmosphere was perfectly clear ; and
a fino breeze from the north-west shook the
bright, green leaves which clothed to profusion

"Where ignorance is bliss
'Tis folly to be wi-e."
In our college days we once strolled into the
kitchen of the great hnll, being "naturally cu

scale so extensive as to meet the wants of some
WW) students. It was a quarter of nn hour be

with coffee, (as it was denominated) hung gloo

The groans of my wife now recalled mo to her
side, and to the horrible reality of her situation.
There was a dark, livid spot on her hand, and
it deepened into blackness as I led her away.
We were at a considerable distance from any
dwelling, and after wandering for a short time,
the pain of her wound liccamo insupportable
to my wife, and she swooned away in my arms.
Weak and exhausted as I was, I yet had
strength enough remaining to carry her to the
nearest rivulet, and liathe her brow in the cool
water. She partially recovered, and sat down
upon the bank, while I supported her head upon

strangely excited by the remarkable oppear

approached him.
Are there many of these reptiles in this
vicinity !" I inquired, pointing to the crushed
serpent
suit of game ; and in climbing a rugged ledge
of rocks, interspersed with shrubs and dwarfish
trees, I was startled by a quick, grating rattle.
I looked forward. On the edge of a loosened
rock lay a large rattlesnake, coiling himself as
if for the deadly spring. He was within a few
feet of me ; and I paused for an instant to sur
vey him. I know not why, but I stood still,

The old man groaned audibly as he uttered
these words, and, as he clasped his long, bony
hands over his eyes, I could see the tears full
ing thickly through his gaunt fingers. After a
momentary struggle with his feelings, he lift

ExTHAonntNARV Max. A man by the name
of Benton T. Batchelder resides in Meredith,
about twenty five years of age, who was born
without legs, and with only one arm ! II3
came up to the door of our office last week in a
wagon, got out and came in as spry as any man.
After finishing his busines he went out, got in
to his wagon, and cracked his whip, and went
olf as smart as some men would do with four
legs. Mr. Batchelder goes up or down stairs
with perfect ease, and can even go up or down
a common ladder with facility. His body is
of about tho midJIo stature, and with that and
the one arm which helms, he goes where ho
pleases, with as much apparent ease as almost
any man. Brlkntp, A'. . Gazette.
