had agreed to breakfast, and afterwards
became one of the spectators of his attempts
to entrap, by iacinatlon, some of these
reptiles 1t had long been suspected that
Colonel E-'s garden was infested by
more than one of these dreaded monsters /;
we therefore repaired thiIher, where we
found the juggler awaiting US. The man
had nothing extraordinary ln his appearance
nothing attractive in his eye or manner.
He was as common looking native as i
had seen. To what caste the people belong
know not; rather suspect a very low
caste.
When we entered the enclosure, we at
once desired him to set about his task
which he did thus He placed himself in

Its noise was that of the smallest and shril'

strment in being played upon at the end, III

he performed was monotonous and disagree

Kentucky Ri6emen.

The renown which the Kentucky ridemen
have obtained for precision and skill ia handling
the rifle has become worldwide, and excited tbe
attention and wonder of the warriors of other
nations. In battle they have stood as collected
although the first time ip action -,as the oldest
veterans of Europe, pouring in their deadly fire
with unerring arm.

he saw an officer fall at New Orleans.
ono, no, shot him in the right eye."
" And shot him in the left eye" was the re-
sponse.
After the battle it was found that this officer
had been shot in both eyes, This unerring pre-
cision can only be obtained by long practice
and thorough drilling. At the first settlement of
their State they were compelled to be constantly
under arms, as it were, to guard against the will

AS the father, so the children grew up, taught in
the earliest infancy possible, to poiSe the rifle and
direct its al IN. AS ammunition was not always
convlently to be had, the father would dole out
to his son certain number of charges for his
rifle, for each one of which he must bring home
some sort of game, or get a taste of hickory for
for each missing shot.
| Many years ago | was conversing with my
father on the wonderful skill of the Kentuckians,
when he related to me the following anecdote /:

years before the war, on surveying expedition,
and had an opportunity of studying the character
of the early settlers for considerable period of
time. 1t became necessary for me to stop few
days at log tavern, and to while away the time

game, Of which there was an abundance

ten years old, who sometimes accompanied me
with his rifle, and always had extremely good
luck. On one occasion the fates seemed to be

very high branch of tree, he up rife, bazed
away, and down came the squirrel. The look o.
dismay with which he viewed his game shall

The Great Achievement of Life.

The highest achievement of moral philosophy
is to rise above the cares, vexations, and disap-
pointments Of life and the tendency Of religion
resting upon divine basis, buoys the true
Christian above the evils that surround him, and
inspires him with moral fortitude and vigor to
battle every calamity, and to maintain an unruf-
fled spiri. amid the pillows and conflicting cur
rents which agtate the ocean Of human exist
enoe. If the hurricane RACES, instead of yield
ing to it's fury, and giving way to dependency,
he exerts every energy to ward off da ger, and
strives to look forward, iRdulglng soothing
hope that the future will be less disastrous than
the present. This method of encounterng the
evils to which every body to greater or less
degree is exposed, deprives disappointment of
its sting, is an antidote to the poison of SANDER
and begels spirit of oheerfulness which is es,
sential to happiness. He is like the eagle
which, when clouds oversprsad the earth, rises
above them, to enjoy the sunshine. No matter
in his pecuniary, domestic and social relations
IT he suffer his spirit to be decomposed by tri
fling annoyances, he is stranger to enioymen
and every day Of his life Is embi,tered bv soro,
petty canse Of vexatlon, which his own morbi,
disposition magnlh S into great calamity. o.

A SToRY FOR LITTLE CHILDREN-There
was once little boy, who heard one Sunday
clergyman preach. The text which the clergy.
man read was, "verily, verify. say unto you,
whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name,
he will give it you" After reading the text,
ne stopped minute, and asked his hearers to
consider what it was they should like most, and
then to ask for it in Jesas's na.re, tresting ln
his promise that it would be given to them. At
the end Of the service, the little boy asked his
aunt if she had asked for anything then she
asked him what ne had asked God to givo him,
and he said, Il thought first of one hing |
should like, and then another, but did not
know which would be best to ask, and SO said
"Father, thy will be DONE"
