SERPENT

The idolatry of India is as absurd
as it is wicked. There is a dlguity
about the worship of the sun, the moon,
or the host of heaven, which redeems it
from contempt !; but the gods Of India,
while they excite our adherence, in
spire us with disgust.
Among the countless objects of Hin
doc worship is the cobra, a species of
snake. The king Of the serpent race,
according to their creed, is Shesh he
has a thousand heads, one of which sus-
tains the earth. The day set apart for
snake worship is the ODD of July
Having made a clay image, or u pic
ture of a serpent in every house, thsy
present TO it offerings of milk, flowers,
plantains, sugar, parched rice, cocoa
nuts, etc. They then bow, or postrate
themselves before the god, saying, go
divine cobra, preserve and sustain us
o Shesh, partake ofthese offerings, and
be gracious unto US" If they can find
a cobra, or the place in which one lives,
or is supposed to live, they carry thither
their presents.
Mr.. Hume describes the homage
paid to one Of these snakes at his repu-
ted dwelling as follows
Near the rock in which the divinity
is represented TO have taken up his
abode, were "a number of snake charm
ers, with baskets containing cobras.-
To these the people were offering milk,
and sometimes a trine to the Keeper
At the hole in the rock from which the
snake is said to issue, two men were
busily engaged in receiving the gifts
which were there presented, These
consisted of money, milk, flowers, CO.
coa-nuts, red powders, plantains, parch-
ed rice, etc. Milk was the most COM
mon offering, Scores Of people, each

finally yielded to their entreaties and tears,
but at the same time, set such IA extrava-
CANT price upon her, that they almost
despaireG of finding any one who would
give it. They applied first to Georges
master. He was willing to purchase but
could not give so much for her. Appll-
cations were made to several other citizens
OF the place; but none were willing to
pay so exofbitant a price. They besought
the master 10 lower his terms; but he wa.
inexorabIe. No purchaser was found!
Meanwhile, the preparations for remov-
al went forward, and the dry of departure
drew nigh. The boat which was to float
The family and their effects down the river,
already lay ut the wharf. At last the
morning of departure came. The fami-
", accompanied by the sympalhizing viii
layers, left their dwelling and proceeded
to the boat. Immediately behind the fam
lily and white friends, walked the slaves,
among whom was Jane. In the rear of
the company George was seen SLOWLY and
sadly following. The family entered the
boat. Jtne threw herself on deck, a spec
racIe of agony. Upon the beach near by,
stood George, with his arms folded before
him. Not a groan broke from his lips;
not a tear burst from his eye, but there
were, in his fixed and statue-Iike form,
the tokens of a grief too deep for utter
ance.
Shortly the cables are drawn, and the
boat is drifting down the rapid stream
AS long as The receding objects can be

TRUE HEROISNI.

The little incident which l am
about to mention, was one-among
many which had neAect, probably,
a. very decided effect, in forming the
character of one who was left to be
educated by the impressions of cir
cumstances. His friend had asmall
farm, Ola which"the boy worked with
such men as from time to time hap
pened to be employed. In remote
field stood a large l~ulip!ree, a tree
apparently of a century's growth,
and one Of the most gigantic of that
splendid species oc tree. 1t looked
like the father of the surrounding
forest. A single tee of huge dlmen-
~sions, standing all alone, is sublime
object. On the top of this tree, for
years an old eagle, commonly called
the Fishing eagle" had built her
nest every year, and unmolested
raised her young. What is remark
able, if it be remarkable, this tree
stood full ten miles fromthe seashore.
1t had long been known as the "oId
eagle tree" On warm sunnyday
the workmen were hoeing corn in an
adjoining field. At a certain hour
Of the day, the old eagle was known
to set off for the seaside, to gather
food for her young, AS she this day
returned with a large fish in her
claws, the workmen surrounded the
tree, and by yelling, and hooting, and
throwing stones, so scared the poor
bird that she dropped her fish, and
they carried it off in triumph. The
men soon dispersed ; but Joseph sat
down under a bush near by to watch,
and 10 bestow unavailing pity. The
bird soon returned to her nest with
out food. The eagles at ono set up
a cry for food so shrill, so clear, and
so clamorous, that the boy was greet
ly moved. The parent bird seemed
to try to soothe them; but their APP
petites were too keen, and it was all
in vain. She then perched herself
on a limb near them, and looked
down into the nest with a look that
seemed to say, Il know not what
to do next" Her indecision was but
momenlary; again she poised her
self, uttered n or two sharp notes,
as iftellingt them to "lie still" blanch-
ed her body, spread her wings, and
was away again fort the sea! Joseph
now determined to see the result
His eye followed her till she grew
small, smaller. a e speck in the
sky, and then disappeared. What
boy has not thus watched the flight
Of the bird of his country in this
way? She was gone nearly two
hours, about double her usual time
for a voyage, when she again return
ed on a slow, weary wing, hyingun-
commonly low in order to have a
heavier atmosphere to sustain her,
with another fish in her talons. On
nearing the field, she made circuit
around it, TO see if her enemies were
againthere. Finding the coastclear,

Three years after this, a boy was
seen tripping merriIy along towards
Philadelphia with a stiff hickory
cane in one hand, and a small bun
die in the other. He was alone and
on foot. This was the eighth day of
his solitary travels, which he had
continued TO pursue with the sum of
fifty cents a day. In his checkered
handkerchief were all his worldly
consisting of a testament, a
few shirts with a black ribon in the
collar of each, and a small number
of unimporlant articles Of dress.-

horseback, with a knowing, and
digni6ed look. The boy
at once. recognized him rs an Old
schoollnaster, to whom he had. been

AT first he seemed unwillingto use
his memory, when haiIedby the boy;
but bis good nature soon obtained
