The American Rattlesnake.

and character, but growing to length OF five or
six feet. This reptile is one of the most dam

is readily distinguished by its rattle, and instru-
ment situated at The tail extremity, and consist
ing of several horny membraneous cells, which
rattle upon each other when agitated by the ami
NAL The rattlesnake is of tawny and black
color above, and ash coloTed beneath; protec-
ting scale over each eye, and long sharp pointed
ungs. 1t is slow in lis motions, inactive in its
habits, and not readily disturbed, features which
luckily tend to lessan the mischief which other
wise it would be capable of lnActing. The ef-
ects of the poison of course depend much upon
the season of the year, the age and strength of
the reptile, and the part struck hence numer-
GUS cases are on record of individuals recovering
in few weeks from the bite ofa rattlesnake 1t
is found also by experiment, that the effect of
subsequent wounds is greatly diminished eth.

that if venomous serpent be made repeatedly

long intervals for it to recover its powers, each
successive bite becomes less and less dangerous.

received living rattlesnake from America. In
tending to try the effects of its bite upon some
rats, he introduced one of these animals into the
cage with the serpent; it Immediately struck the
rat, which died in two minutes. Another rat
was then placed in the cage; it ran up to the
part furthest from the serpent, utterng cries of
distress. The snake did not Immediately attack
it but after half an hour, and on being irritated
it struck the rat, which did not exhibit any symp-
toms of being poisoned for several minutes, and

died twenty minutes after the bite. A third and
remarkably large rat was then introduced. 1t
exhibited no signs of terror at It's dangerous
companion which, on its part, appeared to take
no notice of the rat.--Alter watching for the
rest OF the evening, my friend retired, leaving
the serpent and rat together. On rising early
the next morning 10 ascertain the fate of his two
heterogeneous prisoners, he found the snake
dead, and the muscular part of its back eaten by
the rat. do not remember at what time of the
year this circumstance took place, but believe
1t was not during very hot weather. "
Contrary to this opinion of the venom losing
Its efficacy, is the following anecdote, narrated
by an American writer: " A farmer was one
day moving with his negroes, when he by
chance trod on rattle snake, that Immediately
turned upon him, and bit his boot At night
when he went to bed, he was attacked with a
sickness ; he swelled, and before a physician
could be called in, he died. All his neighbors
were surprised at this sudden death; but the
corpse was inferred without examination. A
few weeks after, one of the SONS put on his faith
ers boots, and at night, when he pulled them of
he was seized with the same symptoms, and
died on the following morning The doctel
arrived, but, unable to divine the cause of SC
singular disorder, seriously pronounced bott

At the sale of the effects neghbor purchased
the boots, and on putting them on, experienced
the like dreadful symptoms with the father ant
son; skill physician, however, being sent for
who had heard of the preceding affair, suspect te,
the cause, and, by applying proper remidies
recovered the patient. The fatal boots wer
now carefully examined, and the two fangs o

The Sugar-House Cure.

DR.. Cartwright of New-Orleans, communi-
Gated to a recent number of the Boston Medi-
cal and Surgical Journal an article of consid-
cradle interest to nvailids which is entitled,
" The Sugar House Cure for Bronchial Dys-
peptic, and Consumptive Complaints" 1t is
stated that residence in sugar-house, dur
ing The rolling season, far surpasses any other
known means of restoring fesh strength, and
health lost by chronic ailments of the chest,
throat, or somarch. The rolling season is the
harvest, when the canes are cut the juice ex-
pressed and converted into sugar. In Louisiana
it commences about the middle Of October, and
ends at Christmas, but is sometimes protracted
into January. Dr. Cartwright says:
Last December, having a very severe and dis
tressng cough, which, for some weeks, had re-
sisted the usual remedies, went into II sugar
house, drank glass of hot cane juice, and stood
over the kettles, called CHARTERS, for some hours
inhuling the vapor arising therefrom. The va
por was most agreeable and soothing to thu
lungs The fragrant, saccharlne aura seeme
to penetrate into the nmost recesses of tn
obstraced lobules, opening its way into tn
intercellar passages and ar,cclIs without ex
citing cough, but removing the distractions, tn
cause of the cough. There | stood over tn
CHARTERS, enveoped, for five hours, in dens
cloud of vapor of an agreeable temprature an,
an aromatic odor; after which retired to res
and had a refresing sleep. In the morning th'
inhalation of the vapor was again resumed
when returned home, througha cold, raw, windy
atmosphere, some ten miles, to the city, almos
well, without experiencing any Inconvenience
from the exposure to the cold the cough anC
dsarreeable sensations of chilhnes5, smother
inr and febrle irritation, having dsappeare,
almost entirely.
A tenuous vapor, of an agreeable, aromatic
odor hovers constantly over the heated juc'
of the CHARTERS. It is demulcent, saccharinG
and grateful to the respiratory organs; causin!
no oppression or feeling of construction, as othe
vapors and smokes so often do, but the lung
seem to expand and drink it in with avidity, a
the roots of plants require the moisture of tn
earth impregnated with azotize ed bodies afte
a shower What humus is to vegetable sub
stances, the elements contained in this vapo
would seem 10 be to man.

A Special Providence.

"What is Especial Providence" said lady
to clergyman, who formed one ofa cheerful win
ter's evening party, seated around brightly
blazing fire, which cast its ruddy light over an
antiqueiy wainscotted room in which they we're
assembled.
"My dear madam said he, drawing his
chair sill closer to the hearth, ;" ycu have touched
upon q subject which perhaps | can better
illustrate by anecdoto than argument"
By anecdote p That will be delightful "
said chorus Of voices.
"Thc story which am about to relate, said
the clergyman " although possible one OF the
most remarkable of it kind,s yet no less strange
than true. About fifteen years ago, was up
pointed-I was than yonng man-toa curacy
in the town of Bradford, in the woollen districts
of Yorkshire. Soon after my arrival, the town
was electrified by the reports Of robberes mys-
teriously perperated at large mill in the neigh
borhood; but although of almost daily occur
renee, and notwithstanding the most vlgllant
means was employed, all attempts to discover
the guilty party were tor along time OF no
avail The article stolen was cloth. The theft
was effected by cutting pieces Of a yard or SO
in length from lh long rolls in the warehouse
The first intimution which the firm obtained OF
the robbery was by the return of large guam
tity of goods upon their hands marked 'shor1
lengths They telt their honor as men of bus
ness involved, and Immediately sedrchigg in
vestigating took place. All the rolls in the
werehouse were re-measured, and the result
proved that nearly one half of the stock had
been tampered with. The hands, employed in
the warehouse and mill were upwards Of a thous
and in number, and each was subjected to Q
long and painful inquiry. Netting definite
however, was elected. But although the theft
was not brought hpme to any one, more than
fifty persons were discharged on suspicion.
Notwithstanding these precautions, howeve!
reports of fresh robberies were from time II
time circulated, and the theft seemed to bid fal
to clude detection but the daring delinquen
