snake, lszrIy watching the gradually length :
ening ridge Of earth peculiar TO the subsoil
navigation of the mole.
The little burrovor emerged Al the root of

tured and ewallowed HIM. Tie observers of
thi! sad affair thought ii wa. al over with
poor moie. but nothing daunt d, perhaps un-
aware Of his por;lous situation, he kept oa
scratching until he cana out at the small
end o, the snake, who, feeling sudleniy tna'
he had bsen cheated of square Aoal, trrn>
&C and swallowed him again, with III. s.me
resut So before.
The Captain Of the f,lboat, in every res

this singular contest was continued TO- eight
hours, with no variation, except that the
moie. as ha became better acquainted with
the route, male faster ti,nc on his ;rids.
fiHslIy, the snake, completely disgusted
with the mode, allowed it to 90 in peace,
and dragging himself to hickory tree,
butted his brains out agains its root. On
