child raised her eyes and tlmidy said
"Our little Willie sleeps here. We's

says that's enough"
"Are you not afraid to be here alone =

"How old was your brorher" | asked,

tiUn. Just then, from this sort OF hllSStuI
abandon, was stlrlled by the report of a
gunshot within few PAGES of me. |
sprang to my feet, and with astonishment,
saw my friend Mitchell standing near and
gazing at me with fixed looked ghastly
horror. Before could inquire what he
meant, my attention was caught by the
sound of the most shrilI, keen, ringing
rattle that ever penetrated human ear; and
on looking down discovered a huge rat
tesnake with CORY head, quivering and
writhing in the agonies of death, and SEN
ding forth from his erect tail the terrible
tocSin that heard.
From this fearful propinquity, | began
to realize my position, but not until |
heard an explanation from NJ, could |
fully understand and appreciate its hor-
rors.
He told me that my resting place was
the top of rattIesnake den, and pointed
out the orifces through which they pas
sed; that he was in the habit of coming
there on Sunday evenings TO shoot rattle
snakes; that when he approached that
evening, and saw me lying upon the den,
he supposed | had been bitten and was
dead that he crept nearer and saw my
respiration, and knew was alive, but dis
covered a monslrous snake licking my
hand and covering it with a Shiny coat
ing, preparatory to dcgIuutIon that he
made slight, involuntary shuddering ex-
clamation of My God which drew the
snakes attention and caused him TO turn
his head, when he DISCHARGED a load OF
buck-shot into his neck, mangIing anc
tearing Il to pieces, and thus saved my
life. lie had scarcely told me this which
took but moment, when raties all
around brought US 10 a recollection that
we were not yet free from danger.
We saw ten or fifteen large rattlesnakes
approaching us from every quarter, with
ewes glaring rcvengeiulIy, barbed tongues
thrusting threateningly, and raItles sound
ing a!armingly. They are brave and
caanorbe inundated, and will die over
the dead body Of their companion soon
er than desert it. We knew the inLomi-
table character Of our enemy, and NJ. and
|, with his doubIe-barreIed gun, and my
sticks and stones, fought our way out as
best We could. You may imagine that
my nerves were slightly aglated that eve
ming, and that | dreamed of snakes that
night. Nj. has killed one hundred and
seven of them, the largest of which had
twenty-six rAtlIes. He says the Indians,
who have been in the habit of hunting
them for many years, have killed much
older ones, and have slain thousands.

The True Wife.

She is no true wife who sustains no
her husband in the day of calamity, who
is not, when the worlds great Grown
makes the heart chill with anguish, his
guardian angel, growing brighter and
more beautiful as misfOrlunes crowd along
his path. Then is the time for trial o.
her genlIeness, then IS the time for test
ing whether the sweetness Of her temper
beams only with transient light, or, like
the steady glory of the morning star,
shines as brightly under the clouds. Has
she, then, smiles just as charming? Does
she say "Alllclion cannot touch our
purity, and should not quench our love"
Does she try, by happy lille inventions,
10 Ift from his sensitive spirit the burden
Of thought! !
There are wives-nay, there are beings
who, when dark hours are come, fall to
repining and upbraiding-thus adding to
outside anxiety the narrowing scenes OF
domestic slrile-as if all the blame in the
world would make one hair white or black
or change the decree gone forth. Such
know not that our darkness is Heaven s
light our trials are but steps in a golden
ladder, by which, if we rightly ascend,
we may at last gain tie eternal light and
bathe forever in It's fuiness and beauty.
Is that all and the gentle face Of the
wife beamed with joy. Her husband had
been on the verge OF destructIon-aIl hls
earthly possessions were gone, and he
feared the result of her knowledge, she
had been so tenderIy cared for al her
life But, says Irving's beautiful story,
ga friend advised him to give not sleep to
his ewes nor sIumber to his eye-lds until
he had unfoILed 10 her all his helpless
case.
And that was her answer With the
smile of an angeI-"L, Tint all &? fear
ed by Your sadness it was worse. Let
these beautiful things be taken, all this
splendor, let it GO, care not for it on
ly care for my husbands love and conf
dence.
