place If mongoos be quietly slipped into the
room the little animal instantly flies al its near

"samp-wallah" is flying about IN every direction

These people generally have for sale numbers
Of "snake-stones," which are said 10 be equally

the sting of the scorpion. For the former have

THE sERPENT-CHARMER OF INDIA

In India the 'Samp Waah" is less blood
thirsty in his operations against the crawling
race, contentng himself with making them his
captives, instead Of devounng them. When a
snake has been traced on the premises, it is a
common custom to send for the ''snake-catcher,n
who arrives with his numerous baskets, contain
ing live snakes Of various descriptions, and the
uncouth musical instruments with which he
enacted the part of the ''charmer," TO whom the
cobra capella in this case seldom .'lurneth deaf
ear and by whatever means he effects his OBJ
ject, in short time, after being lured from its
hiding place, and deprived Of its fangs is snugly
deposited at the bottom ofone Of the round wick
er baskets which he carries about with him, and
and which, when not called on in his profess
sional capacity, are displayed for the amusement
of the spectators
The Snake-catcher seats himself on the
ground, surrounded by these little baskets, and
begins to drone forth a melancholy monotonous
tune on a sort of bagpipe. After short time
the covers Of the baskets are removed, and dis
play in each the scaly folds Of cobra capella,
compacily coiled up in the bottom, and appa-
rently listening to the music, if such il can be
called BY degrees they appear TO grow ANNA.

THE WESTERN PRAIRIEs.

Reader, have YOU ever seen prairie II
not, hundred 10 one you have few correct
ideas about it, You are thinking OF low, HAT
meadow-lhe ground wet, and The grass thick
and high as your arms-the habitation OF snakes,
pole cats, and every unmannerly insect-border-
ed all around by tall timber, coming up thick,
and of full height, TO its very edge. Now, #
such prairies exist, they are not the prairies OF
Northern Illinois or Wisconsin. These are
dry. rolling or unduating upland, covered with
grass about one foot in height, varying, OF course,
with the fertility and dryness Of the soil. There
are many Of them, It's true, wet or springy
spots, sometimes containing standing water,
about which the grass grows much higher
These wet spots are called sloughs, (the inha
birants say sfros.) These almost entirely dis
appear in the neighborhood Of Rock river, for
the breadth Of many miles on either side, and
for nearly its whole length. Some esteem this
the peculiar beauty of,he Rock river region, as
il puts out of the way alleged causes OF sickness,
and all impediments 10 good roads. Others
think il blemlsh, as they afford water, and II
may be doubted If they will furnish any perma-
nent occasion of i'll health.
But, do you ask, are you yourself fond OF a
prairie region To which answer, for some
things like il, and for some like il not.

In every distant world we read
The wonders of thy name,
And through the realms OF boundless space,
Thy presence Ii the same.
{ But in that high and holy place,
Where mlb0ls round thee stand,
Where seIaphs AMI archangels bow,
And wait for thy commando
There, great Jehovah, thou art crowned
With light and bliss supreme,
Shining like thousand thousand suns
In one eternal beam.
And canst thou, King of kings, descend,
And dwell with men on earth,
When, inthy courts, they humbly bow,
To call on thee in faith3
We know thou willard now 10 Thee,
We dedicate this house:
o Come and dwell forever here,
And here, accept our VOWS.
To thee, who art our fathers God
We give what thou hast given:
Accept our praise, and make this house
A joyful gale TO Heaven.

THE DOUBLE LESSON.

BY LAMAN BLANCHARD, ESQ.
Maiden of Padua on thy lap
Thus lightly let the volume lie;
And as within some pictured map
Fair isles and waters we descry,
Trace out, with white and gliding finger,
Along the truth-illumined page
Its golden lines and words that lnger
In Memory's cell, from youth to age.
The young Preceptor at thy side
Had Pupil neer before SO fair
And though that scholar be thy guide,
He sits thy fellow learner there.
As every page unfolds its meaning,
As every rustling leaf turns Ger
He finds, whilst DER thy studies leaning,
Beauty, where all was dull before.
Familiar is the book To him.
A record of heroic deed
Yet deems he now his eyes were dim,
And thine have taught them first to read
Now fades in him the scholars glory
For he would give the fame he sought,
With thee TO read the simplest story
And learn what sages never taught
The precious veal h of countless books
Lies stored within his grasping mind;
Yet should he not peruse thy looks,
de now were more than Ignorance blind.
From many language, old, enchanting,
Rare truths TO nations he unrolls;
But one old language yet was wanting,
The one you teach hints the souls
Full long this lesson, Pupil fairl
All pupils else hath he forsook;
He draws still nearer to thy chair,
And bends yet closer DER the book.
As time flies on, now fast now feeter,
More slowly is the page turned Ger;
The lesson seems to both the sweeter,
And more enchanting grows the lore.
The book now yields tender theme;
The master loses all his art,
The Pupil droops, as in dream,
And both are reading with one heart.
His eyes, appraised moment, glislen
With hope, and joy, and fear profound;
While thine, oh ! maiden, do they listen Z
They seem to hear his sigh's faint lound.
But bark what sound indeed breaks through
The silence ofthat lifelong hourl
Meodious linklngs, such as sue
For favor near iadyes bower.
All maid OF Padua music swelling
In tribute 10 thy radiant charms,
Now greets thee in thy fathers dwelling,
10 WOO thee from fathers arms.
That suffer comes, with song and lutte,
Youth, riches, pleasure, round him wait;
Go bid him, Paduan maid, be mute
Thy lot is cast; he comes too late
One lesson given, and one received
The book prevails, the lutte g denied
With love thy Utmost heart has heaved,
And thou shalt be Students bride.
