ceived the congratulations of the family for
his faithful devotion
The moment he was observed, he dragged

railed the venomous body across the empty
couch Of his young mistress, and concluded
by deposting ii in coil under the sheets and
in the very center of the bed. This being
done, he next enveloped the body Of the
snake in some broad leaves, hid il about his
person and uhobserved escaped into the open
air.
AT midnight when every door was opened
and every lattice turned up 10 admit The re-.
freshing breeze denied during The day--whsu
all were wrapped in profound slumber, ihs
surviving snake was searching for its lost
mate. Gradually ii approached the dwelling,

dences OF a final success seemed to draw up

straight across the floor it moved, penetrated
the lattice and mounted The couch. The Trail
was warm, and led the reptile under tho
clothes; the innocent occupant brushed The
intruder aside, and in another instant the
deadly fangs of the frustrated aud angry ser
pent were buried deeply in her bosom. Shs

ONE BY ONE.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, SOME are going,
Do not strive 10 grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength 30 TO each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou FIRST what these can teach.
One by QUE rbrighl gifts from Heavenl
Joys are sent ihee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, 10 lei them go.
Qaa By one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band
One will fade as Others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land
Do not look thou al lifs's sorrow;
See how small each moments paiu;
God will help thee for 10 morrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that feels so slowly
Has It's task 10 do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regreting,
Or for passing hours desponc;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look loo eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but one by one
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done:

We occasionally light on some rich pro-
ceedings in The progress aEd success Of pat
ties but the following, taken from the cor
respondence of the New York Herald, is a
leader. II also carries with it moral in POI.
itics which will not fail TO be observed.
About The richest thing ou, is the villanous
manner in which the editor Of the American
Organ in this Guy was relieved of twenty five
hundred dollars in hard cash.
1t is well known that the county of Page
in Virginia, Is u part of the "Old Tenth Le-
gion" OF Thomas jefferson, and that she al.
ways casts an almost unanimous vote (about
1907 for the Democratic ticket regardless Of

record was transmitted post haste to Rich.
mond, and thence 10 all the lodges in the
Stale. The 'Tenlh Legion was giving way,
and the prospect was fair for total route
Joy pervaded the ranks of tho brother hood
as the tdings spread.
But fortune Is tickle, and even Know Moth
ings are not always reliable. A few days
before the election the Grand Sachem of Page
called his lodge together TO consider business
of importance and when all had assem-
bled he remarked, in words of soberness, if
not of peIy-" We profess TO be Democrats:
we have always been Democra,s--but We
are about making d---n fools of ourselves.
Now | have proposition TO make you:
propose that each one of as shall subscribe
all the cash we can raise, as betting fund
that we dispatch an agent 70 Washington to
bet il on the vote Of Page oounty, and that
we then burn our records and vote for WISE"
What glorious prospect for speculation, and
no sooner said than done. Near sac, 900
were raised and the appointed agent, ac-
companied by the presiding officers of The
lodge, visited the city. The latter called OIL
brother Ellis, gave him the signs, grips, and
passwords and assured him that sol names
had been regularly recorded in Page. This
was enough-proof as strong as holy writ,
that Page was certain for Flourney the Know.
Nothing candidate for Governor. just about
this time green looking Democrat from
Page happened TO cross the path of brother
Ellis, and boasied of wise's strength in the

Ellis was victimized to the tune Of 81, ,500.-s
The county cast 66t votes for Wise. and the
treacherous Know Nothings pocketed brother
Ellis cash, beside winning some $2o,o Of
others who bet by the record. This l am
assured, is a true statement OF how the Or

The Slave and his Mistress.

A Story is told Of European family tha,
formerly resided on the island OF st. Domin-
so in which an only child was sacrificed by
q snake, through the arts of pe;ted slave
The negro was favorte with his mas
ter's household but in spite of this he be.
came involved in one of those deep conspi-
racies that characterized the early history of
the West India Islands, and which resulted,
in one instance at least, in the deliverance
of the people from an iniquitous yoke of
bondage
In the dark hour Of night, tae slaves from
the adjoining plantation, assembled in the
forest 10 concert their plan OF delverance
from wicked and cruel thraldom, and also
TO expose and punish any of their members
who had shown any reluctance 10 carry out
their design. Extreme vigilance as well as
caution was demanded by the nature of the
case.
The slave we have already alluded 10
was very naturally suspected of undue affec-
lion for his young mistress and it was whIs-
pered that, in the general rising he would
endeavor to save her from The fate of her
friends. This supposed humanity on the
part of the slave was accounted treason in
its worst form; ordered, before the next
meeting, 10 destroy his young mistress as a
proof that he was not traitor at heart.
The negro-ihe confidential servant of his
master, and the inmate Of the household, ac-
complished his purposes without attracting
TO himself the least Suspicion.
Hunting up the nest of pair OF deadly
snakes, everywhere TO be found in tropical
climate, with those arts common to semi.sav-
age minds, he enticcd them into the garden,
and famiiarized them with the vicinity Of the
house. His plans being perfected, he ar
nounced 10 his master and mistress that he
had reason to believe that there was deadly
| reptile lodged in the vicinity. A large reward

Coroner,s inquests.


Judge Jones has given the following gen.
eral directions as 10 the cases in which Coro-
ner's Inquests upon the bodies Of deceased
persons should be properly held:
Inquisition on the body Of John Reber.--Thls
inquisiIion was properly held, and is confr-
med, SO thai the costs allowed BY law may
be drawn by the parties who held ii. We
take this occasion, very briefly, TO Indicate
in what cases inquesls should, and III what
cases they should not be held.
1. An inquest should be held in every case
where death is the manifest or suspected re-
cult of felonious violence.
2. An inquest should be held in every case
where death occurs in prison.
3. An inquest should be held when body
is found dead in the water, fields, woods,
highways, or in other unusual places, and
that, whether the body exhibits marks OF vi
olehce or not.
4. An inquest should generally be held
when death results from accident-which ac-
cident may in any way be imputed 10 the
negligence of another.
An inquest should not DO held IN mere
case of sudden death, as from apoplexy stroke
of the sun, or the Iike--nor when one is found
eead in his bed, unless there be some susp'.
oion Of foul play.
8. And in the same view OF the matter,
there needs moi an inquest 10 be held in ca
ses Of suicide, unless there be like suspi.
cions.
twill be sufficient ground Of suspicion
when The Coroner is called upon 10 act by
good and lawful men Of the county. who af-
firm such suspicious 10 exist, and satisfy him
OF their reasonableness.
II must be understood that the court will
not approve an inquisiiion, unless there be
some proper ground in law, OF in fact for
holding il. The practice of holding inquesis
in cases Of sudden death and suicide, when
there is no suspicion whatever Of foul play,
must wholly cease,

There are but Two Parties.

low-countrymen, now, as before, there
are but two parties in the United States
The old fashioned whig organization has
been disbanded, as the wings admit alike
by action and by word, but in lis place has
arisen combination, united by common
hope for power on the one hand, ye,torn by
internal feuds growing out of doctrines as
numerous as The different tongues in the tow-
or OF Babel, on the other. This is the exis-
ting opposition 10 The democratic party which
party, stronger in its faith than ever, more
eager for the contest, and mote willing TO
perish rather than yield an inch TO intoler-
ance, stands like fortress against its many
headed and many-li,led adversaries. In all
nature there are two opposing elemeuls--ihe
good and the bad, the pure and the impure,
the healthy and the unhealthy. Every man
is said to be wrestling with two angels--;he
angel OF virtue and vice. And in every case
the good spirit is an open, upright, and can
did spirit, while the bad spirit is as secret
as the peslilence, as willy as the serpent, and
as fatal as death. We have opposing ele-
ments IN politics as well as in science and
morals The one is bold and candid party;
the other secret and crafty party. Tie one
has single creed applied to all latiludes and
to all men the other has an opinion fcr ev-
cry fifty miles OF space, and champion for
every particular dogma, no matter how each
may differ from the other. Who should fail

Pleasure of Home.

The benefcent ordination Of Divine Prov
idence is that home should form our charae-
ter. The first object of parents should be
to make home interesting. 1t is bad sign
whenever children have to wander from the
parental roof for amusement. Provide plea
sure tor them, around their own fireside and
among themselves. The excellent Leigh
Richnond pursued this plan, had muse
um in his house, and exerted every nerve
to interest his little flock. A love of home
is one of the greatest safeguards in the
world to man. Do you ever see men who
delight in their own fireside, strolling about
in taverns and saloonsa Implant this senti-
ment early in the child; it is mighty pres
ervation against vice.
