WONDERFUL FREAK OF A SNAKE.
NARY CIRCUMSTANCE Albany Evening Tran
script Of Monday says, most all of our readers
have heard of the celebrated "klsenry Cats "
who fought with such desperation that both were
eaten up by the other! Granting that they have
and granting the story to be true, we have TO
chronicle story equally as wonderful, and which,
III consideration OF our granting the cats story to
be fact, we wish believed as implicitly true:
Mr.. John Gebhard Curator of the Geological
Rooms, well known tor his penchant in the study of
Natural History recently made an experiment
with snake and mouse with the most wonder.

eight feet long and proportionately large like all
OF his race he did not masticate, but swallowed his

small. Mr. Gebhard being of an inquisitive turn
Oi mind determined TO test the fact whether in the
process OF deglution the snake managed by some
unknown process, to masticate its food or whether
it was bOlted whole
Accordingly, mouse was procured and placed
ia the cage with the snake, which at first did not
appear TO notice il, allowing the animal to run
about, leap over its body, and cut up other antics
in its haste to get away. In few hours, however

powers the mouse sat upright gazing at "lord and
master" with irresistible and evident delight. This
uOW6Foir was OdhSctOus pdoS tiLS, iUI suuQeuIy
the snake, making dart at the mouse took it in its
extended jaws, and merely wnking its glaring
eyes, swallowed the animal as easily would
child a sugar plum and then curIed itself up into
its listless indolent way. Mr. G believing that the
mouse was forever "gone from his gaze" paid no
attention TO the snake until the next morning,
when going to look at 1t he was surprised to find
mouse running about the cage, having the appear

Upon looking the snake hole found in its
body, near tail sufficiently large to allow Of the
egress of the mouse and from ths freshness OF the
wound it evident that the mouse, swallowed
alive, had eaten its way GU This being the only
hypothesis upon which to base conclusion, and not
being certain, Mr. G determined 10 watch and see if
the snake would again attack its dminutive tn 1ugh

BEAUTY'S GRAVE.

Tread softly, stranger! this is ground
Which no rude footstep should impress,
With tender pity gaze around,
Let sadness all thy soul possess.
Tread softly lest thou crush the flowers
That DER this turf are taught TO wave,
Transplanted from their native bowers,
To shed their sweets DER Beauty's grave
And, stranger, let your melting heart
Mark well this fresh and verdant sod!
And ere YOU from the scene depart,
Oh! let your soul commune with God.
Thus fade the fragile buds of earth,
Thus fade the lovely and the brave!
Come now, ye thoughtless sons Of mirth,
And pause awhile DER Beautys grave.
Sweet, withered rose! may thy pale doom
Call tears into the maiden's eye!
Oh! may the prospect Of this tomb
Remind her call that live must die!'
And warn her in the days Of youth,
To think of him who being gave,
And bid her seek the ways Of truth,
Like her who sleeps in Beauty's grave.

O, beloved and gentle Poverty! par.
don me for having for a moment wish.
ed to fly from the, as | would from Want /;
stay here forever with thy charming sis.
ters. Pity, Patience, Sobriety, and Soil.
tude be ye my queens and my instruct.
ors; teach me the stern duties Of life
remove far from my abode the weak.
nesses Of heart and giddiness Of head
which follow prosperity. Holy poverty
teach me to endure without complaining
to impart without grudging, to seek the
end Of life higher than in pleasure, fur
,her off than in power. Thou gives, th'
body strength, thou makest the mini
more firm; and, thanks 10 thee, this lie
TO which the rich attach themselves TO
rock, becomes a bark Of which dealt
may cut the cable without awakenin
all our fears. Continue to sustain me
o thou whom Christ hath called BLESS
ED! .... .t4. .-..-, .
