SNAKE CuMBAr.-Combn:s between the
rattle and black snake are certain il they
meet, and the black snake is, with rare
exception. the conqucror. Upon seeing
each other, these animals instantly as
sumo their respective attitudes Of defiance,
and display the great difference in their
organization. The rattlesuake coils itself
ur, ready for attack or defence; the black
snake being a constructor, moves about
from side to side, and is in constant activ-
ity-naturAlly exciting each others pas
sions. The rattlesnake finally settles
down into glowing exhibition of ami
mostly, its fungs exposed. its rattles in
constant agitation. The blacksuake,
seemingly conscious that the moment Of
strife has come, now commences circliug
round its enemy, absolutely moving so
swiftly that it seems but gIeam of dull
light the rattlesnake attempts TO follow
the movement, but soon becomes confused,
and drops its head in despair then it is
that the blacksnake darts upon the back
of its deadly foe. scizes it between the
teeth, and springing upwards envelops
the rattlesnake in its folds. The struggle.
though not long, is painful the combat>
ants roll over in the dust, and get en-
tangled in the bushes, but every moment
the blacksnake is tightening its hold, un-
til the rattlesuake gasps for breath, be-
comes helpless and dies. For awhile the
blacksnake still retains its grasp; you can
perceive the muscles working with energy;
but finally it cautiously uncoils itself, and
quietly betakes to the water, where, re-
covering its energy. it dashes about mo-
ment, as if in exultation. and disappears
from the scene.

Jonathan and his Bride ut Fashiona-

Nothing further occurred until the hour

Tin WeddiugS.

An editor friend Of ours ha s been to a
q tin wedding" If our readers will be
quiet, in three minutes they shall know
what tin wedding" is. Now golden
wedding is the commcmoration of the If
Eieth return of a couples marriage-these
are scarce. The g silver bridal is the
friendly celebration of the twenty. fifth re-
turn OF the happy day. A "tin wedding"
is novelty, but it should not be, for
whoever reach the fifth anniversary Of
their marriage are at liberty to celebrate
it. Our friend says on this occasion:
1.-The bride and groom were presented
by relatives and friends in turn with vari-
our articles Of tin ware, such as are emf
nentIy useful in household economy, ma
king together complete set of culinary
apparatus, which would do honor even to
a kings kitchen. Those separate cere>
monies were concluded by more formal
presentation Of an ornamental service Of
tin prepared after the most approved
form and fashion Of silver, during which
an address was delivered and response
given, both performances being marked
with as much solemnity as the occasion
could impart. At the supper, the table
was covered with plates and dishes only
Of tin hams sand -wiches were laid out
against tin background homely cake
was served in baskets of tin sweet cider
was poured from q tin pail. with tin la
die, into tin cups; and familiar odes were
performed on trumpets of tin In fact.
there could not have been more tin in any
other place. except in a tinman's ware
house, or in the mines Of England.
"We were never before So thoroughly
convinced Of the genuine value of plate
tin. of the numerous useful appliances to
which it may be put, and of the highly
respectable appearance which it presents
when handsomely secured and we shall
henceforth regard it, especially when as
socia'ed with tin wedding, as one OF the
precious metals"

his Infancy he was fed on hog and homi-

the profession of carpenter ; and by
these successive steps in mechanical arts,
he became able by his own unassisted
skill, to rear a house from the clay pit or
from the stump, and complete it in all its
parts, and to do it, too, in a manner that
none of its competitors could surp0ss.

Which burneth deep in the soul beneath

THE SuBLlME.-I am fully prepared to
allow Of much ingenuity OF Burke's theory
Of the sublime, as connected with self pre-.
servation. There are few things so great
Us death -; and there is nothing, perhaps,
which bnnishes all litIIeness in thought
and feeling in an equal degree with its
contemplation. Everything. therefore.
which in way points to is-and. therefore,
most dangers and powers over which
we have little control-nre in some de-
gree sublime. But it is not the fear OBJ
serve, but the contemplation Of death !;
nor the instructive shuhder and struggle
Of self-preservAlion. but the deliberate
measurement of the doom. which is real
ly great or sublime in feeling. Ii is not
while we shrink, but while we defy, that
we receive or convey the highest concep-
tiOns Of the fate. There is no sublimity
in agony Of terror. Whittier do we trace
it most. in the cry to the mountains. "Fall
on US !" and to the hills, "Cover us T. or
in the calnness Of the prophecy-"And
though after my skin worms destroy this
body, yet in my flesh shall see God ?"
A little reflection will easily convince
any one that. so far from the feelings Of
self-preservation being necessary to the
sublime. their greatest action is totally
destructive to it; and that there are few
feelings less capable of its perception
than those of cowar6.-RusEin.
