RATTLESNAKE HUNTER.

Among the wilds of Lake George, in he north
ern parts Of this State, there is an old man who
makes his living by catching rattlesnakes, pulling
The teeth OF those he wants TO sell to showlnen,
and making oil out of others-an oil which igno,
rant people have been quaclzed to believe in its
superior virtues for rbeumatisnls and sprains. To
catch them ne employs strong leather loop or
moose attached to the end Of pole eight or ten
feet in length. With this pole he cautiously APP
proaches the den, in front Of which the snakes
bask In the sun, placing the moose over the head
and neck-the nose being SO constructed that
when the snake struggles, The tighter he is held
rendering escape impossible. When the old fell
low wishes to tame them and render them harm
less he extracts their fangs in The following man
ner: tie lays the head across log of wood, then
places his foot Oh the neck, pressing it until his
snakeship throws back his upper Jaw-the mode
in which they bite he then applies pair of pin
GERS, and with the cooiness of an experienced dem
list pulls out the iangs one by one.-Sci. Amer.

ssTHE SUMMER IS ENDED.n

The time of Song and Flowers has come and
gone, and the gentle breezes of an approaching
Autumn are heard signing DER the wtheTed beds
of decaying flowers, and through the branches of
eaf1ess trees, where the merry bird thrills forth
Its richest songs. The melody of the babbng
brook is drowned in the passing wnds-the quiet
gentle grove has been stripped Of its green roof
the hills and valleys are fast losing their Summer
loveliness, and the leaf is scar and yellow
Since last our cheeks were famed by the cool
ing winds Of Autumn, what change has come
Ger the domestic hearths of many of US! What
dear domestic scenes have been broken asunder-
the hearts idol laid low in the dust and faml
lar faces heen buried in the cold obstruction Of the
tomb! The stranger disease whose track as in
the Old World was marked by grief and desola-
ton. was waited to our beloved shores-and its
coming was the signal for mourning sobs and crush
ed hopes. Our goodly city was not exempt from
its Eayages.
For more than hree months its poisonous shafts
were fixing their enyenomed points in the hearts
OF thousands! Sob5ing and wailing were heard
| In the deserted streets. And now, as the last
slghing OF the Summer winds are dying into an
echo the notes of woe and sorrow are heard still
in our city, Hearts bereft of their dols-a father
weeping for the absent one'-a wife for him who
won her early love-a daughter for that mother
whose only fault was in the kind indulgence tc
this now bereayed child-the son, whose hopes
have been stricken by the sudden taking eff Of :
kind father. To such have felt the fatal touch
OF this terrible disease, Autumn has an unwel
come sound. The ripened fruit and golden grain
will be gnheeded by these sorrowing ones Theil
hearts will hear no music in the jonrneyipg winds
of Heaven, as they tell men that another Season
has rolled away-that another ''Season is ended .
that the CLEANER for the grave has been busy
with friends and neighbors. No-no-they weeI
in silence, for the beloved objects can never chee
| them again in this world The Autumn time has
come-and song g. flower have vanished! Who
shall teach us to forget the hearts anguish-the
hearts woes = Cincinnati Chronicle
