uncomfortable kind Of quarters, as,
In the mean time, popular sentiment

take advantage of the John Drown
raid. They labored to mako the
impression TINT there was general
rising at tho North against Southern

himself played conspicuous part,
in magnifying tho difficulties, and
in representing that there was n
strong party at the North lcagucd
against tho South. lie aud his ad

In the state Of Ohio, there resided 4 family
consisting of an old man by the name o.
Beaver, and his three sons. all Of whom
arc hard "pets," who had often laughed tc
scorn the advice and entreaties of a pious
though very eccentric minister who resided
an the ami town. 1t happened one of the
boys was bitten by a rattlesnake, and was
expected to die, when the minister was
sent for in great haste.
On his arrival he found the young man
very anxious to be prayed with. The min
lister calling on the family, knelt down and
prayed in this wise:
"'Oh, Lord, we thank Thee for rattle
snakes; we thank Thee because arattlesnake
has bit him. We pray Thee send q rattle
snake to bite John; send one to bite Bill;
send n to bite Sam; and O, Lord the big
gest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old
man, for nothing but rattlesnakes viii ever
bring the Beaver family to repentance"

Where the sweat running down left the gem

Exposed and betrayed by her Owl Precipitation,

Half roasted he met me, and came to a stand;
Says l. sis It hot:" and thus answered poor
