A Snake Combat.

Combais between The rattle and black snakes
are certain if they meet, and the black snake is
with rare exceptions the conqueror. Upon seeing
each other, these animals instantly assume their
respective attitudes of defiance, and display the
great difference in their organic zion. The rattle
snake coils itself up, ready for attack or defence :
the black snake, being constructor, moves about
from side to side, and is in constant actIvity-na-
iprally exciting each others passions. The rattle
snake finally settles down into glowing eyhibi-
bition OF anmosity, fangs exposed .irs raIps in
constant agitation. The black snake, seemingly
conscious that the moment OF strife has come, now
commences circling round its enemy, absolutely
moving swiftly that i, seems but CLEAN Of
dull light; The snake aliemps to follow The move.
pPpt, bEt soon becomes confused and drops its
head in despair then It is that the black snake
darts upon :he back of The neck of its deadly foe
Seizes it between its teeth, and springing upward
envelopes the rarle snake il lis lolda
The struggle, though not long. is painful the
complaints roll over ip the dust and get tangled
in the bushes but every moment the black snake
isrightenng its hold, until The rattle snake gasps
lQr breath, becomes helpless, and dies. For
while the BLACK snake stii rriains its grasp you
can perceive its muscles working with constant en-.
ergy but finally, it cautiously uncos ITSELF and
quietly heakes TO the water, where recovering its
energy it dashes about moment aa fin exuliation
y, aud disappears from the scene.

One by one the moments fall;

Let lot future dreams eIate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.

Shadows passing through the LARD.
Do not look at life's long SORROW;
See how small each moments pain:
God will help thee for Tomorrow;

Has its task TO do or bear;
LUMINOUS the crown, and hoy,
