ears erect, and hoad thrown back. his clin throat
and shirt-bosom were stained with the flowing
stream.
His first shrek had started tho quiltcrs, aud
forth they rushed, wondering if some milan was
not prowling about. BY this time, John WIS with
in few rods Of the barn, still running at the top
OF his speed, his head turEed that he might keep
one eye on the snake AMI with the other observe
what course he must taks. The friendly barn now
concealed him from the sight of tho girls. lie
knew the girls were in tho yard, having caught Il
glimpse Of them they rushed from the house. A
few more bounds, and he would be in their midst.
For a moment modcsty overeamC fear, and he halt
cd. The snake, evidently pleased with his rapid
transportation, manifested his gratitude by attempt
ing to cn;old the legs of our hero within his en-
brace.
With an explosive ouch :" and urged forward
by circumstances over which he had no CONTROL"
poor John bounded on. Tie next moment he was
in full view Of the girls, and he turned the cor
ncr of the barn the snake came round with whis,
somewhat after the fashion OF a coach whip.
Having reached the bsrnyNri to his dismOy, he
found the bars up. But tim. was too precious to
bo wasted in letting down bars. Gathering all his
strength, he bounded the other side, his suAke-
ships tail cracked across the upper bar, swapping
litc an India cracker.
Again John set forward, now utterly regardless
of the girls, for the extra tickle of the snakes tail
as he lelped the bars banishcd all his bashfulness
and modcsty, ard again he had the pleasure of
finding the snake in straight line, drawing stead
lily nt til? hem Of his solitary garment.
~, ~, g
and around il he revolyed with the speed of thought
Four times in each revolution, he turned the cor
rcr, his snnkeshp came round with a whiz that
was quite refreshing.
While describing the third circle, as he came
near the group of wondcr-struck girls, without re-
moving his gaze from the snake lie managed to cry
out -
"Call a man !"
Away he whrled again, turning the corner so
rapidly that the whix Of the snake sounded half
way betweed u low whistle anI the repeated pro-
nunciation of double-o.
Before either of the girls had stirred from their
tracks h, had performed another revolution
"Call man !"
Away he few once more, bu: his strength was
rapidly falling. Nancy Clark was the first to re.
cover her presence of mind, and seizing hoop
pole, she took her station lear tn, corner of the
house, and as John reappoared, brougatit down up
the snake with force that broke its back and hold
upon Johns neither garment ut che same time.
John rushed into the house and to his room, and
ct tea-time appeared in his best Sunday suit, but
little the for the race, and to all appearances
entirely cured of his bashfulness. That night he
walked home with Nancy Clark. The next New
Year they were married and now whenever John
feels inclined to laugh at his wfe's hoops or any
other pecuiarity, she has only to say, Call man,
and he Instantly soberS down.

ALruoUGH tho danger TO Liberia from
Spain. alluded to below has mostly disap-
pearcd, yet we regard the showing of the
value OF Liberia to tho cause of human and
Christian progress to be iraught with in
tonsest interest to eyory philanthropic or
Christian heart, Tho Colonization JOuHa!
SAYS:
From the very foundation uf Liboria the
slNvctrade, which had been carried on for
centuries by the native tribes along that
coast with Spanards and others, was tho
chief impeachment to our colonization work.
Tho native kings oarly combnsd to destroy
our colony at Monroyia, under apprehension
that a traffic SO easy, 80 old, and SO proGJa-
Bile, would be destroyed by the nav settlers.
Repeatedly Liberia came III couAict with
them subsequently on this same subject,
and it was not till 1850, thirty years after
the first emigran.s loft the United atates.
that, by the purchase of GallinsS, the last
Spanish slave-tLctory OH line of six hun
drcd miles We're destroyed. Tn, chiefs.
disheartcncd by continual defeat, were final
ly acquiescing in their loss and becoming
producers of oil and Camwood in yearly in,
creasing quantities.
! BY the events lately occurring among tha
| trlDeH, We see clearly tnat fCy are hot
wcaned from the blavo trade and that tho
conduct of the Spanish authorities, in at
tempting to renew the trade at Gallinas,
and to punish President Benson for iutor-
fering to prevent it, has been followed 10y
an immense excitement among the native
chiefs. They hailed this a. a token that
! their old customers would come and renew
tho old aud long-loved traffic. They plung-
ed into war with ono another ;hsy thrcat-
cncd TO attack and destroy all our Liberia
settlements chiefs one hundred and fifty
miles in the interior beat tho wsr-drum.
Rumors spread among them that Sesen
Spanish mcn-of-war were coming to destroy
all Monrova, and their savage fcrocity
gloatcd over tho prospects Of plunder, ra-
pine, and the slaya-tIadc.
Perhaps no ovent could more forcibly
illustrate tho value OF Liberia to the cause
of humanity than this one. 1t is clear that
if Liberia were dcstroyd or removed, saw
ago violence would again prevail the sla-
yer would be inv tied to return, and find u
ready welcome to ill his vessel with victims
of fraud and violence. 1t is no small mat
ter of cOngratulation 10 us that, rs one of
~thc incidents of colonization in Liberia, SO
I great u boon to humanity has resulted
For nearly seven hundred miles along tho
coast peace and lawful commerce have dis
placed prevailing war and the cruel slave
traffic, and made quiet home for the work
of Christian missions.
