'' I called, with "several other-gentlemen, at
the rooms of the family on Friday last, and
Wc there saw enough to convince any one that
there is a chain of sympathy existing between
the child aud the snake which seem insepar

who is a bright little girl, srx or- 6evcu years
'of age, ' was sleeping uport'tlie bcdi",' The
snake, which was in a box. in another. part of

herself into' a position like that of the snake,
bringing her bead in contact with her knees
in' such a way as to strain the muscles of her

her body every half hour or thereabout.
"When any attempt was in ado to rouse the
child, the snake, which was some twenty feet

God ! watch over my son, in this unnatural
war between brethren ; save him from : being
stricken, and from the necessity of. striking.
Bring back my son tame, strong and Wauti-1

peaceful as my Jove has., made him! And
while, betweeu two sighs, the mother's wishes

" The boy inquricd in his conscience; it - told
him his duty and he obeyed. If be live, his
brethren "will respect him ; if lie die,' God will
receive htm ; for, living or dead, lie will have
defended that he believed to be the right." ,

herds, ribbons embroidered with silver, or
pretty books with colored pictures? "Ah,

brought me nothing!" : And lo, while these
three souls were thinking of the same thing,
rapid steps are heard without, the door opens,
a cry bursts forth ; it is he,' the loved, the
wished-for son and brother. The old 'mother
opens her arms to him,- the child puts her
mouth close to tho old man's ear, to shout the
good news, and tlie rays of the Belting., sun

Important .Invention, to Printers.
Mr. Samuel Weed, an incenious nmlianl?
' town, (Middlesex,' Miw.;) has
a machine for making printer's tyn

lionsing and embellishing types Of all descrin-
t . - r ' a : . - -
uoiis,: t bwj3, iron, urasp , copp-T, aaq Tj
metal, at au expense loss lhau that of types
made in the ordinary mode of casting. The
importance of this invention will be fully ap
preciated by printers and the ''craft'', gener
ally. Human ingenuity has, to tho prcGcnt,
been unablo to form any metal, or combination
of metals, from which perfect types can be
cast. The best that has been found, and
which is in general use, is formed of lead and
antimony, in pror ortlon of tLree of the first
to one of the last, called ', typc:metal. . This
is fouud to cast a more perfect' figure or letter
than any thing else.' Act this is subject to
prcat imperfections, to wit: that of complete
form to Uic matrix or mould, a latent, and
therefore au irremediable defect, as all metals
will expend by' heat and contract by coJJ.
But the grcatcstjolgection arises from the ex
ceeding softness of the metal ;Tro-itTthe ""eon"-
f tint handling of all tyreH, there is ao attrition.
ior wearing, which every printer Well knows, '
renders worthless a fount of the" IkjsI ivtm. "
In addition to that, thencid. foT cleansing off'
ink corrodes, and of itself, poou iLtrov and
renders them worthless. Iu Mr. Weed's in
vention these great difficulties are superwded .
and types, as beautiful as human ingenuitv
can form, arc made of any malleable metal.
This valuable invention has been the result '
of several year's stitly, and inanycxpcrimcnto. '
We have before us several f pociincns of type
perfectly formed and symmetrical, made f ,
copper, brass and iron. ! There Lj therefore no ;
future experiments to bo made, to tc&ijts aul-.
ity or use-fullness. Tlie oljection sought for (

i.t An Interestiiig PosiUoa. ...... -
- A perfectly authenticated 6lory is told of an
officer resiling in British Guiana, who aniosed .
himself in fiShing and huntiDgin a ncigbW-.
ing river. .One pultry day, tired with unsuc-.
cessful ppors, he threw bis lines, and drew his
canoe to the river's edge, for the purpose of ',
refreshing himself in the water. ' I laving don
so, he etretched himself, Iialf-drcssed, on the '
bench of his canoe, ' with few pun at his bead -loaded
with shot and - in this position fell'
asleep. "' Presently he was roused, from his:
slumber by a curious Rttiwlwi, as if eomc an-c
imal were licking his foot. In a state of half
stupor, Bfttural to waking from a sound sleep, .
he cast his eyes downward, and, to his hor
ror, perceived the neck and bead of a mon-r
strous serpent, covering his foot with Fulira.'
preparatory " to commencing the process cf
swallowing hini whole.' The ornecrha'l faced
death in many fbrm on the ocean' and in
the battlefield but ncvep had be conceived
of it in such terriblo guise1. -For a moment,.-,
and but a moment, the ofilcer was - fascinated
and tlicn wiUidra wing his foot, he instinct-,
lively seized the gun ij"ng beside him. ..
The reptile, nppircutly disturbed, for it bad.
evidently mistaken the officer for a dead car
cass, drew bis head IkiIow the canoe. It rce'
again moving backward and forward, W if in
search of; tlie object it bad lost. The officer,
with the mutzle of his pun within a yard Or
two of the serpent, fired, lodging the contents
in his head. J The terrible boa, with . a hisa,
raised its heretofore unseen body in the air;,
and seemed determined, to throw itself upon
the officer and - embrace him in its powerful,
coils. A fortunate stroke of the paddle sent
the canoe into the stream and to a' place of
safety.. Having procured assistance, the offi
cer returned to the place of attack, and hav-r
ing killed the reptile, found it upward of forty"
feet In length and of proportionate thickness '
