The New York Commercial Advertis.

- Inc New Ork commercial AdvertiS-
er tells the following thrilling tale -
Last Fall, a woman residing in the vicinity
Of Worcester, was picking black berries in a
field nea: the house, having with her her on
'y child, bright-eyed little fellow of le.s
than year old. The babe sat upon the
ground amusing itself with grasping at the
clumps Of yellew weed that grew within
reach. and eating berries brought him from
time to time by his mother.
The latter at length. intent upon gather.
ing the fine fruit, passed around rock which
hid her child from her view. She was about
to return to him, when, hearing him laugh.
ing, and Growing in great glee. and thinking
he must be safe as long As he was so happy,
she remained little longer where she vas.
Suddenly the little voice ceased. and after
moments delay, the young mother stepped
upon the rock and looked over. expecting to
see her babe asleep; instead Of which, be
was sitting perfectly motionIess, his lips part.
ed. and his wide open eyes fixed with a sin
cular expression upon some object which at
first she was unable tc discern.
Yet who can judge of her horror when,
on close scrutiny, she perceived, some four or
five feet from her infant, rattlesnake, with
his cittering eyes fastened upon his, and
nearing him BY an almost imperceptible mo-
ton.
The sight Of her darIing's peril 90 nearly
paralyzed her, that for an instant she half
believed that dreadful fascination had ex.
tended to herself; but the certainty that, un-
iess che was the ;ns,.uu,un. Of ooi.at,on to
her child, he was inevitably lost, in some de-
gree restored her power. She glanced
wildly around for something that might be
used as a weapon, but nothing appeared, and
already the venomous reptile had passed over
half the space which divided him and his VIC
tim.-Another moment, and all would be
lost.-What could be done'
In her hand she had broad tin pan, and
springing from the rock, quick as thought
she covered the snake with 1t, and stood upon
it to prevent its escape.
The charm was broken-the child moved,
swayed to one side, and began to sob. At
the same time the mother recovered her voice
and screamed for assistance, retaining her
position until it arrived, when the cause of
her terrible fright was despatched.
