| it wanted and he says he asked it in the name
of the Lord what did it want, and he says j,
said to him that he wanted to destroy the still
ing, and sneaked off; so then, to be convinced,
tied Alfred in the still house again, and he
| was told to wear clover in his hat, and then
he could see what it was, and while ne was
tied in the still house he had clover in his hat,
and he saw the snake come and peep In the
house, having face, eyes, mouth, tongue and
all, precisely like man he perfectly knew,
and all but the head was precisely like rat
tle-snake, and it scared him prodigiously.A =
Then on Sunday last, 28th Oct., there were a
great many persons who came to my house,
who doubted the reality of the mark of the
snake, came to see if they could find the mark,
and tied Alfred again, in order that they
might be convinced, all Of them respectable
men, saw the mark distinctly, and were con-
vinced Of the mark of the snake"
The truth of the statement contained in the
farmers letter to the Democrat is attested by
a dozen of the prominent men Of Rockingham
county, who saw the mark of the snake in the
ashes, anc knew shat the boy was tied too Sc
curely to have made it himself. The Demo-
crat says that the boy is very much alarmed,
and his health is fast giving way under the
mental effects of this horrible delusion.

Colloquy between an English Lady and
Yankee Officer.

Soon after the revolutionary war, Capt. p,
brave Yankee officer, was at ST. Petersburg,
in Russia, and while there, accepted an invita-
tion to dine there was large number at Ia
Sle, and among the rest an English lady; who
wished to appear one of the knowing ones.
This lady, on understanding that an Ameri-
can was one of the guests, expressed to one of
her friends determination to quiz him. She
fastened on him like tigress, making many
inquiries respecting our habits, customs, dress,
manners, and modes of life, education, amuse-
ments, etc., etc.
To all her inquiries, Capt. P. gave answers
that satisfied all the company, except the lady;
she was determined not to be satisfied, and the
following short dialogue took place -
Lddy.-Have the rich people in your coun-
try any carriages. For l suppose there are
some that call themselves rich.
Capt P.-My residence is in small town
upon an island where there are but few car
riages kep,-but in the larger towns and cities
on the main land, there are number kept in
style suited TO our republican manners.
Lady, can't think where you find drivers
Il should not think the Americans knew how
to drive a coach.
Capt. P.-We find no difficulty on that ac-
count, madam we can have plenty of drivers
BY sending 10 England for them.
Lady Speaking uery qnck.)-I think the
Americans ought TO drive the English, instead
Of the English driving the Americans.
Capt. P.-We did, madam, in the last war,
but since peace we permit the English to drive
US
The lady haR checked with anger, stood
mute minute, and then left the room, whis-
pering to her friend-the Yankees are too much
for US in the cabiaet, as well as in the field.

big whisper, at the Music Hall on Sunday

Home Thoughts.

Home Thoughts.
We love to think of earthly friends,
Though distant from our view;
And fain would take what memory sends
To make the old seem new.
We cherish thoughts of reverence
For all the just and good.
And long to see those aged forms
That once before us stood.
How eagerly our minds run back.
With glowing thoughts that burn.
OF those now gone to unknown worlds,
And never to return.
lis pleasant to recall those scenes
Once spent with those we love,
Never again to be on earth,
But gone to dwell above.
Ny own dear friends come fresh to mind,
As if 'twere yesterday,
And seem to ask. with kindly voice.
"How fare We on the wayF'
In yonder yard my father lies,
And peaceful, too, ! trust,
Till the last trump shall wake the dead.
And raise the sleeping dust.
My brothers, too, when far away.
Both died beyond my sight;
No friends or kindred near their sides,
To cheer their upward fight.
A little child-a lovely girl,
Before we knew its worth,
Was kindly taken by the Lord,
From off this wicked earth.
They're gone, know. all gone away,
And left this world of strife
still remain, but journeying on,
To find the end of life.
My mothers left, she's good to me,
know she is my friend;
She's always been so from the first,
And will be to the end.
I've sisters, too. both good and kind,
And more one need not say:
For few adorn their stations more,
Or quite SO well as they.
I've wife and children, bless their souls,
To me they are most dear,
And cling as closely to my heart,
No matter-far or near.
Yet all my friends. yea, more than all,
But fail to fill my heart.
And bring the comfort to the soul.
As can Gods grace impart.
I look beyond, above them all,
To Him who lives on high.
And humbly ask the SaviouI's love,
To fit me for the sky. R.

Wonderful Snake Story,

There is good deal of excitement in Rock
ingham county, N. c., on account of snake
having been seen which has human head
The animal was only seen by son of Mr.. o.
b. Stone. He first saw it at his father's tur-
pentine (whisky) still. His father, to whom
able to see it, though the boy declared that it
was under his feet. Several attempts were
made by the boy to shoot him, but the different
guns he used would never explode when point
ed in the direction OF the snake, though they
would fire if turned another way. The father,
in letter to the Madison, N. c., Democrat,
says =
Some of my neighbors came in again to
see the snake, and TO see if they could find
any mark it made, SO we sprinkled ashes all
over the still house, and in the hole where it
always came in, and we tied my son fast, so
he could not make the track himself, in any
way whatever, and then we left him tied in
the still house, by himself, and went away,
and it was but few moments before he let US
know that the snake was in the still house
again, and we went TO see if there was any
mark and behold there was mark as
broad as nv hand where it came in and went
out, and they were confirmed it was some
thing. did not suffer Alfred to stay about
the still house but little, for whenever he
goes there he is sure to see it, and it also ap-
pears to him in different parts of the farm, but
not as it does at the still house and he was
told to talk to it, and it would tell him what

Unreasonable Fuel.

A few calculations relative to the compare
tive value of green and seasoned wood for fuel,
may serve TO remind these interested Of the
importance of attentiea 10 the subject.
Everybody kaews that green wood is poor
stuff TO kndle FIRE, though some contend that
it will keep up as well as seasoned, if applied
constantly, not suffering the heat to 60 down.
That is if you have a good fire to season it in,
you can burn green wood as well as dry. But
to the calculations
A green stick of wood weighing 100 lbs.,
when seasoned weighs only &c lbs. OF such
is about the average of wood commonly used
for fuel. In seasoned stick you have all the
wood-all that will support combustion--you
have only got rid of "a lbs. of water.
Now, water will not burn, and if present in
fuel, it has to be converted into steam, at the
expense of that fuel, and it will take FIVE
times as much heat to make steam of water,
as it will simply TO bring it TO a boiling point.
Here is seen at once, the poor economy Of
burning green wood.
We have shown that about two-thirds Of the
weight of green wood is water-now, how
many barrels of water are there in cord OF
wood There are 1913 cubic feet in cord,
which allowing two-ffths for vacant space be-
tween the sticks, leaves II feet of solid wood,
one-third of which is water-equal toover six
barrels of water in every cord Of green wood.
The heat required to evaporate this water,
would bring thirty barrels to the boiling point.
And this is not the only expense. If the wood
was cut, properly piled and seasoned in the
woods, the cost Of drawing it would be nearly
one-third less. Any way you can look at it,
the economy of burning green wood is more
than questionable.
Every farmer should look at, and determine
to keep a stock of wood on hand, sufficient to
last one year at least. And he may take an
other look at the difference between wood sea-
soned just enough, and under cover, and that
which has lain out doors until all the sap
. wood has become rotten, and one-half its val
ue been lost by exposure to the weather.-Ag
