Az IxDrANA SNAKE.-The Decatur
(lnd,) Republican says that a huge
snake, reported by some to be twenty
feet long AMI covered with bright
spots. has an abiding place in that re-
gion, somewhere on the banks of Cliff
ty Creek. and has destroyed a good
deal Of stock Of different kinds. He
was seen the other day. and tracked
to a hiding place under the bridge
The bridge was torn up by a crowd
brought together by the news of the
discovery, bnt the snake was gonc.-
His track upon tho ground is said to
look as if log had been dragged
along. and a man saw him coiled up
one day says he made heap as large
as a molasses barrel. \ pre;ty con-
siderable 'snaik' he must be.

Mrs. PartingtOn on ihe's Coueuct

"Nhat do YOU think will become
of you?" said Mrs. Partington to Ike,
as they were going home from church.
The question related to the young
gentleman's conduct in church, where
lie had tipped over the cricket, peeped
over the gallery, attracting the atten-
ton of hoy in the other pew below
by dropping a pencil. tied with a
string, upon his head, and had ds..wn
hideous picture of dog upon the
snow-white cover of the best hymn
book. "Where do you expect to go?"
1t was a question which the young
ster had never before had put to him
quite so closel y, and he said he didn't
know, but thought he'd like to go mp
in a balloon "l'm afraid you will go
down, il you don't mend your ways,
rather than go up. You have been
acting very badly in meeting" contin-

thread" said Ike, who thought she
alluded to the string by which the
pencil was lowered to the boy; "that

continued she. earnestly. "what do
YOU want to act so like the probable
son? Why don't you try and be
like David and Deuteronomy. that

NJ RscHEI. SMITH.
How delightful il is in the bloom Of the
To gather the flowers that are fragrant
and sweet.
While the dew is still glittering bright in
their petals
And their odors ascending fair nature 20
greet.
They are fresher and swecter, at mornin <
than evening,
Vixen the suns scorching rays. perhaps
wither and blight.
For we oft see them bloom fresh and sweet
in the morning.
But close. fade and fall, at approach of
the night.
We know in the morn which to cherish for
evening,
That can best brave the heat Of bright
MONDAY sun;
Some watt their perfumes on the soft mel
low brcezes,
And scatter their sweetness in evening
alone.
Then should not our Saviour select his fair
blossoms
In the morning of life, when they're
blooming and gay,
Ere the dark storms of evening arise, that
may wither
And scatter their sweetness. or lure them
astray.
lie knows which 10 gather at morning or
oon-day;
lie knows which TO leave evening tide 10
adorn;
But when all are gathered and placed in his
garland,
Interming;ng their sweetness. they're
fresh rs the morn.
You, dear friends, have been training fair
lovely blossom,
And twinins its tendrils with patience
and care
Around the grea, Standard, Refuge and
Fortress,
The storms and wild tempests Of evening
to bear.
But Christ, her protector, saw best to re-
move her
From earth and its troubles, to Heaven
above;
BY his own gentle arm was removed, and
transplanted
In the garden of Paradise, nurtured by
love.
Let Fancy her pinions extend to their ut
most,
And bathc their bright plumes in aerial
bowers,
Paint pictures sercphic, the lovliest and
fairest,
Adorn them with garlands of Edcn's
bright flowers;
Then place in their hands the sweetest me-
lodian
That ever was tuned by the impulse OF
love;-
II mover can render the faintest conception
OF your own Gulaelma in Heaven above.
Then let not her father, too deeply deplore
her,
Another gems placed in the Savior's
bright crown,
Another freed spirit is rescued from bond
age,
With saints and with angels, sweet an
thems to join.
Repine not fond mother for trials are bless
ings;
Thy fair treasure lost, is her paradise
gained;
And though she has left thee in sorrow
quite lonely,
She has for herself endless glory obtained.
Two brothers affectionate and loving,
No longer share sweet sisters love;
The grandeur and beauty of Heaven she's
proving,
With Christ in glory in bright worlds
above.
But, dear children, she left you guide
ana wa'eIword,
Which, if followed, will lead you through
pleasure or care
She said "pray TO Jesus and know that YOU
love him.
And this will prepare you to meet with
her there.

THE VACCINATION OF CATTLE.

The Medical Times says that in Holland
there are assurance offices for cattle's lives.
One company has all its assured cattle vacci-
mated, as preservation against contagious
pneumonia. Another company inoculates
only when the disease has invaded the animal
stalls. The third company does not vaccinate
at all. It has been calculated that the first
company has lost 6 per cent. of the cattle ;
the second II per cent, and the third 40 per
cent.

present reputation. Those making them were
few IN number, and We're easily reached by
the few using them, in case of dissatisfaction
with their several preparations.
Now, however, the number who are making
them is legion. The agricultural periodicals
are loaded down with puffy advertisements of
them--each being, of course, represented as
far better for the farmers use than anythinp

sciioed above, are putting on the agricultural
public, thousands on thousands of tons of

NOUS prices.
We advise all having occasion to purchase
such fertilizers, to be cautions of whose they
buy informing themselves thoroughly he
fore buying that of any manufacturer with |
reference to- his character for fair dealing.
Else, shave in the purchase is likely to he
the result. The farmer should in the first
place satisfy himself that the manufacturer

trating fraud and next, that those who bdyc
used his compound are capable of iudring If
its results, and are also satisfied that il does
produce results worth paying roundly for.
