us, you'll miss the figure vour chiIds rattles: Jest
bring one of your real rattlesnakes along, and
I'll show you whether he can frighten an Eng

Hearing me calling so loudly for light, the
mate, a staiwart freshman, came running up
with large TORCH but hardly had he reached
the deck, when he discovered the monster, his
head drawn back ready for striking.
''Snake! Snake!' yelled he, punching at him
with his glaring torch.
"Whereabouts, you fubberf' still suspecting

air, mingled with the crashing Of broken doors
and chairs. the oaths and rushing of terrified
men, and the screaming of still more terrified
women, who knew not what to fear, while clear
and distinct, above the internal melee, arose
the piercing rattle of the snake who, writing
his huge proportions about, and striking at ev-
ervthing near him, seemed to glory in the con-
fusion he had created.
A short was heard, and then the coil collap-
sed, and the rafting slowly ceased. The snake
was dead.

On! there is a vision of early youth,
And it never comes again.
IT'S a vision Of light, of life and truth
That fits across the brain;
And love is the theme of that early dream,
So wild, so warm, so new,
That in all our after years deem,
Our sarly dreams we rue.
Oh. there Is dream of maturer years,
More turbulent by far;
IT'S a vision of blood, and Of woman's tears,
For the theme of that dream is war;
And We toll i'm the field of danger and death,
And shout i'm the battle array,
Till we find that Fame is bodiless breath,
That vanisheth away.
Oh! there is dream of hoary age,
IT'S a vision of gold in store:
OF Sums noted down in figured page,
To be counted Ger and Ger:
And we fondly trust in our glittering dust,
As a refuge from grief and pain,
Till our limbs are laid on the dark bed,
Where the wealth of the world is vain.
And is it thus, from mans birth to his grave,
In the pati, which all are treading2
Is there Dought in that long career to save
From remorse and self-upbraiding?
o yes, there's dream SO pure, so bright,
That the being to whom it is given,
Hath bathed in a sea of living light;
And this theme of that dream is HEAVEN!
