Mr.. j. s. Strother, in q late letter to the Huntsville
ADVOCATE, gives the following account of some rare crea.
lures to be found in Texas:
l will now give you a description of some of the in
sects, or rather reptiles, with which this section is in.
tested. / will commence with the most poisonous of
all, the Centipede, the sting of which is deadly; should
one crawl across your arm, the flesh would rot off to the
bone-sometimes producing death in a short time to tho
person stung, who will suffer the most excruciatine pain
until be is relieved. The Centipede is eight inches
long when full grown, resembles the Thousand Legs
in shape. Next comes the T~arantula, a species Of insect,
reptile, or whatever you may choose to call him he is
what we might term half Terrapin and half Spider
more vicious than both, and three times as active as
either he is near the size of a small tea.cup !; his back
is covered with coarse red hair, under which is an almost
impenetrable shell which covers the top of his BODY.
which is supported by long, ~spindling, double-jointed
legs, and were you to see one throw himself upon his
legs for a combat, you would be tempted to knock him,
like Paddy did the dog, tspachless.' His mouth is Of
enormous size; he has an eye that indicates his ruling
passions, viciousness bis bite is also very poisonous.
Snakes are very numerous. Singing Lizards in the
greatest abundance. l can put up with the latter two
but remove me from tho disagreeable presence of the
two. Horned Frogs are plenty, but they are inno-
cent and harmless. Mule rabbits are the greatest
curiosity I have yet seen ; they are about the size of a
{ fawn,' and are so swift that the feetest dog is nowhere;
their ears look like they were near 10 inches long,
they first JUMP up before you. / am Of the opin-
ion that a Centipede, Horned Frog, Tarantula, and a
Mule Rabbit, placed on Commercial Row. would at
tract more attention, excite more curiosity, than the
of a dozen { Barnums.'

At days declining. a maid sat twining
\ garland shining with wild flowers gay .Ss"ssS
But her heart it was sore, and the tears yelled DER
Her eye and the door, on that eve Of MAY. .
And take she cried, to her young hearts pride, 2
From your pllghted bride on this holy day,
\ true love token Of fond vows spoken -
That may not be broken-these flowers of Nav.
In life and in death, if you hold your faith,
Keep ever this wreath, twill be sweet in decay;
Come poor or with wealth, come in sickness or health
10 my heart you'll be welcome as flowers in May
Yet, oh if ever, when wide seas sever,
Our hearts, you waver in faith to me, MS
4 true Irish maid will never upbraid +,
Affections betrayed-from that hour you're free .
: set small store upon golden ore, ap ~
III not leve you more for your wealth from the sea
The hand that will toll at our own loved soil,
Free from crime or from spoil is the hand for me I!
The blessings half spoke, her fast tears choke,
And strong sobs broke the young mans prayer;
One blending of hearts, and the youth Departs
The maid weeps alone in the silent air. .sm.>
Full many score, that lone maid counted DER
Of day-dawns and night falls-a year to this day
hen sadly, once more at the seat by the door,
Stood the youth as before, on that eve in May.
For the love of that maid, wherever he strayed,
Kept his soul from stain and his hands from guilt !;
Like an angel from God, till his feet retrod
The cherished sod where his first love dwelt.
I bring you no store of the bright gold ore,
But poor as before, l return to decay;
For my bride I've no wealth but broken health,
Hopes withered ard dead as these flowers of May
The maiden has pressed her true love to her breast,
Her joyful haste no doubts delay;
In his arms she signs, ''Tis yourself l prize,
To my heart you are welcome as flowers in May

THE MILL IN THE SEA.

In olden times there once lived two brothers, one of
them was rich and the other poor. When Christmas
was near at hand, the poor one had not SO much as a bit
of meat or a crust of bread in the house, go he went to
his brother, and begged him in Gods name, to give
him a trife. Now, it happened that this was not 'the
first time that the rich brother had given the peor one
something, and he was not particularly delighted when
he saw him coming. .o, .ss-ey,
IF you will do as | tell you,' said he to the unwel-
come visitor, you shall have a whole ham that is hang.

The poor brother said be would do what he told him,
and thank him too. .,44
There i; is, said the rich brother, ainging him the
ham, and now 60 to the lower regions
sSince I have promised it, I must observed the
other, taking up his ham and going his way.
After wandering about the whole day, just as it grew
dark he perceived a bright light at no great distance
from him.
1T must be here thought he. On going somewhat
further into the forest, however, he found a man with a
long white beard, who was cutting wood.
Good evening" said he with the ham.
Good evening" replied the man; whittier may you
be going?'
ooh, Pm only going to the lower regions; only /
don't know whether Pye come the right way replied
the poor Supplemented man.
Yes, you are quite right said the old man, the
entrance is just here , and then be added, when you
have got down below, they will all want to buy your
ham, for swine's flesh is q great rarity there but you
must not sell it for money; 80 rather ask to exchange
it for the old hand-mill that stands behind the door.
When you come up again, then l will teach you what
to do with the mill for it has its use, 1 can tell YOU

mill that stands behind the door,
The chief imp did not at all relish parting with his
mill, and he began to haggle and bargain with the man,
but the latter remained firm SO at last the imp was fain
70 let him take the mill away. When the man had
emerged from the under. ground dwelling, he asked the
old wood.cutter how he used the mill, and, when he told
him, he thanked him, and returned home but, let him
make what speed be would, he did not reach it till
twelve O'Clock at night.
Where in the world can you have been,' said his
wife, as he came in I've been sitting here waiting
hour after hour, and l had not as much as a couple Of
splinters to lay across each other under the Cruel pot, to

Curious Facts About Aluxator..

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks. They are four
feet high and FIVE in diameter at their basis, being con.
structed Of grass and heritage, First, they deposit one
layer Of. eggs on 4 layer Of mortar, and having. covered
this with . stratum Of mud and heritage, eight inches
thick, lay another set of eggs upon that, and SO on to
the top, there being commonly from one to two hundred
the nest the dense grass and reeds five feet high, to pre-
vent the approach Of unseen enemies. The female
watches her eggs until they are all Matched BY the beat
of the sun, and then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing for their subsistence.
DIR. Gutenberg, of New Orleans, told me that he once
packed up one Of these nests with eggs in a box for the
Museum OF St. Petersburg, but was recommended be-
fore he closed it to see that there was no DANCE. Of the
eggs being Matched on the voyage. On opening ono, a
young alligator walked out, and was soon followed by
the rest, about a hundred, which he fed in his house
where they went up and down stairs whining and bark
ing like young puppies.-CLyell, the Geologist. r.
