A TERRIBLE' BEDFELLOW.
BY WILLIAM WIRT SIKES.
-I looked at my neighbor with considerable
euriosfty. His face indicated a man of not
over thirty years—a period at which men are
still young, generally; but his lair was as
white as fresh-fallen snow One seldom sees,
even on the heads of the oldest men, hair of
sueh immaculate whiteness. He sat by my
side in a oar of the Great Western Railroad,
in Canada, and was looking out at the• win
dow. Suddenly turning his head, he caught
me in the act of staring at him—a rudeness
of which I was ashamed • I was about to
say some words of apology, when he quietly
remarked,—
"Don't mention it, sir; I'm used to it.,"
The frankness of this observation pleased
me, and in a very little time we were convers
ing on, terms of fan3ilar acquaintanceship; and
before long he told me the whole story.
"I was a soldier in • the artny in India,"
said he, "and, as Is often the ease with sold
ier:3, I was a little too fond , or liquor, One
day I got diunk, and was Alit up in the
black . hole for it. I slumped down upon the
floor of the dungeon, and was just dropping
off to sleep, when I felt a cold, slimy snake
crawling across my Tight hand as it lay
stretched out above my bead on the floor.—
I knew at once what it way—a it snake! Of
course my first impulse was to draw away my
hand; but knowing that if F did - so the pois
onous reptile would probably strike its fangs
into me, I lay still, with my heart beating
itrruy beast like a trip-hammer. Of COUTSO
my fright sobered me instantly. 1 realized
all my peril in its fullest extent 0, bow I
lamented the hour that I bad touched liq
uor? In every glass of liquor they say there
is a serpant; but it does not come to every
body in the shape it came to me. With a
slow, undulating motion the reptile dragged
its carzasi across my face, inch by inch, and
crept down over my breast, and thrust its
bead inside my jacket. As I felt the hid
eous scraping of the• slimy body over my
cheeks, it was only by the most tremendous
effort , t:hat I succeeded in restraining myself
from yelling loudly with mingled terror and
disgust. At, last I felt the tail wriggling
down toward my chin; but itnagine what I
felt at heart, if you can imagine It. as I re
alized that the dreadful creature had coiled
itself up under my jacket as I. lay, and had
seemingly gone to sleep, for it was al; still as
death. Evidently it !mine idea that I was
a human creature; if it had, it would never
have acted in this manner. All snakes
are cowardly. and they will tbit approach a
man unless to strike' him in .fielf-defence.--
Three hours I lay with that.dreadful weight
in-my bosom, and each minite was like an
hour to me—like a yearl;;• I seemed to have
lived a life time in that brief - space. Every
incident in my,life psSed aerms my memory

to the counsel in the case, and receiving the
charge of the Judge, retired, and soon re
turned with a verdict, of not guilty. The
accused, who was greatly elated with the re
sult of his trial and the effort of his counsel,
invited the latter into one of the vacant jury
rooms. As soon as they were alone he slap

ed: •

asked the lawyer.
"Lend me your knife, and we'll see about
that."
The lawyer, slightly startled at such a
proposition. rather reluctantly complied
The accused immediately commenced ripping
and cutting away at 'the waistband of his
pantaloons, and soon produced the roll of
bills for the stealing of which he had just
been tried, wrapped up in the identical piece
of oil silk describedby the witnesses for the
prosecution, and throwing it down on the ta
ble before the astonished lawyer, exclaimed:
"There, take ypur pay out of that; guess
there is enough to pay you tolerably well."
"Why, you villian!you stole the money af

can take any .of that money?" .
"Stole that money! Didn't them twelve
men up stairs there just say that I didn't'
