Pup AND PIG-HUMoRoUs ANECDoTE.-
Major Hopkins, Southern planter, owned
fine blood hound bitch, and had promised
his neighbor Simkins one of her pups in
accordance with which, he in due time dis
patched his darkey Sam with a covered
basket containing one of the pups. with in
structions to deliver it safe into the hands of
Simkins. The day was hot. the road dusty,
and when about half way between the two
plantations Sam stopped at a tavern to ''wet
his whistle" placing the basket safely in the
corner. Some wags, s,who were lounging about
the tavern, determined on sport substituted
a little pig in place of the pup, when the dar-
key, in blissful ignorance, resumed his jour

1t might also be shown that many cases of
domestic infelicity and alienation of husband
and wife, of late so common, originate in the
premature sterility caused by the attempt to
circumyent the divine laws

laws of nature could not be evaded. nor its
processes obstructed in anyway without in
curing the penalty. The penalty will be
fearful in proportion to the crime end per-

WHAT To DO WITH ONES MoNEY.-A
very good story is told of old John Jacob
Astor, father of the present wealthy citizen
of that name, which comes with a hint of
much value to youth. A young man. through
frugality, had saved FIVE hundred dollars
out OF his earnings, his parents having as
sisted him to the extent Of furnishing him
bis board gratuitously. Being frequently
brought in contact with Mr. Astor, through
his business, he became quite intimate with
him. One day the young man having an
opportunity to inv st his five hundred dol.
lars in a JOINT stock concern. which promised
twenty per cent. profits, he thought he would
take the opinion of Mr.. Astor in the matter.
The old gentleman told him he would not in
vest his five hundred dollars in the enter
prise If he was the young man. The advice
was taken, and the young man retained his
money. A month or two later the young
man had another opportunity offered him to
invest, whereby he would be sure to secure
at least fifty per cent. profits. He went
again to Mr.. Astor, who smiled at the fat
tering promise, and said '' would not in
vest in that" " But, Mr.. Astor," expostu-
lated the young man, - it will pay fifty per
cent" The old gentleman was immovable.
At lengthy the young man asked; 'well,
Mr.. Astor, what would you, II you were IN
my place, invest your money in % . would
put it in the Savings Bank :" In the
Savings Bank! Why I've got it there now.
But that pays only six per cent" Yes
but it pays 1t. And what is more, il returns

three per cent. on my investments. If there
is nyihing going that yields fifty per cent.

The Child and the Black Snake.

| A black snake, more than seven feet long,
is said to have displayed strange powers Of
fascinating, and the whole story ends in a
fearful tragedy.
In Franklin county, Missouri, lived a
little girl, thirteen years of age, along with
her parents. She had always enjoyed good
health, but was suddenly seen to waste away
till she became a mere skeleton. In the
Spring months of the year she exhibited a
strange propensity to take her meals away
from the house, carrying all her food to the
banks OF stream near at hand, where she
bad been known to sit for hours at a time
The nelghbors began to wonder at this ex-
traordinary conduct, and suggested to the
father that it would be well if a watch were
set upon her movements. This was accord.
ingy done.
On Friday morning the child went out
and sat in her usual place by the creek till
nearly noon, when she returned to the house
and asked for food, upon which large slice
OF bread and butter was given her, and she
returned to the water side
In the meantime the father had stealthily
followed the child, and eusconsed himself
behind some bushes. To his intense horror,
he saw a huge black snake slowly lift its
head into the chld's lap and receive the food
from her hand, exhibiting the utmost greed
mess, and showing signs of anger whenever
the child attempted to taste the food; the
poor girl trembling like an aspen leaf all the
while.
The father uttered a loud groan as he
beheld the influence which the monster had
gained over the mind of his child. But
some slight noise he made alarmed the
snake, which glided away into the creek and
was lost to sight. He questioned the child
as to why she gave her food to the snake,
but she would not, or could not, give any
reason.
After a consultation with some friends it
was determined that the girl should not be
bindered from going to the creek the follow
ing day, and that if the snake made its ap-
pearance it should be killed. The child took
her food to the creek the next morning as
usual, and in due time the snake made its
appearance. The father. who was watching
with loaded gun, at once fred and sent his
shot through the reptiles head.
The girl at once fell down fainting, while
the snake, after rolling and twisting about,
died. The girl recovered, but when she saw
the monster was dead swooned again. She
once more recovered, but only to fall into
convulsions q third time, and finally died
"ieH'u1 giving any eApiihdlioh as 10 tue
Influence the snake had exercised over her.
In her last moments she seemed to be in the
greatest agony both of body and mind.
The editor of the paper from which this
tale Is taken vouches for the correct state
ment of this strange and horrible fact in the
following words;
1--WE know that there are many persons
who doubt the reality of such fascination,
but if they entertain any doubts on this sub
ject hereafter, the relations of this unfortu.
