Aunt Rachel, like many of her race,
was fine singer of camp-meet
ing hymns and plantation songs. She
could soar into the higher regions of
melody like bird; and she sang with
an JUNCTION that went straight to the
heart. Her favorite song, as she used
to sang ii, pleased me more than any
other song or hymn that | ever heard.
In my opinion it is the finest specimen
Of plantation sacred neusic that ever
rippled over sable lips. l learnt it by
heart and a few days ago l jotted
down the melody, aud got my musical
friend, Prof. Theodore E. Perkins, to
arrange the song in four parts, that |

SNAKEsl-As a general thing we are
rather incredulous in the matter of
snake stories, but the following comes
from a source that can be relied upon:
One day last week Mr.. Jack Cider was
engaged in quarrying stone on his
farm, adjoining Hopetown, near this
city, when, after having quarried to the
depth of four or FIVE feet, he over
turned large piece of stone. under
which he discovered populous den OF
black snakes. Going at them with
pick and axe, Mr.. G. succeeded in kill
ing the entire population of the den,
amounting in all to thirty-fve snakes,
varying in length from three to eight
feet. When discovered, the reptiles
were rolled tightly in huge ball
shaped mass, and had evidently laid up
for the winter, which accounts, we sup
pose, for Mr.. C.'s success in entirely
destroying them.
Mr.. Cider is entitled to the "snake
horns. Ross County Register.

A Conference.-The New York
Sun says: 1.-THE estate left by Baron
Rothschild, of Paris, is reported to be
worth S400,O00,0o0. Few persons,
we presume, have any definite idea of
this immense sum, but it may help
them somewhat to mention that it
nearly equals the total cost of all the
buildings and improvements in the
city OF New York. The assessed value
of the real estate in this city liable to
taxation was, in 1867, 1855, AL, ,069.
Adding to this one-half for underival-
uation, and then deducting one-half
the total for the lots, and it gives US
S416, 505,297 of the worth of the
buildings. If then, the city were to be
reduced to ashes tomorrow, from end
to end, the Rothschild fortune would
suffice to entirely restore it."

AUNT RAcuE1's rAvoRlrE SONG.

Nobody knows de trouble see,
Nobody but Jesus;
Nobody knows de trouble ] see,
Sing glory hallelu'!
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down,
Sometimes I'm lebel wild de groun',
Sometimes de glory shines aroun',
Sing glory hallelu'!
Nobody knows de work does,
Nobody knows but Jesus;
Nobody knows de work l does,
Sing glory hallelu'!
Sometimes scrub, sometimes scour,
Sometimes l bakes de injun -four,
Sometimes / squeeze the lemons sour,
Sing glory hallelu'!
Nobody knows de griefs has,
Nobody knows but Jesus;
Nobody knows the griefs | has,
Sing glory hallelu'.
Sometimes my soul is sunk in fears,
Sometimes / weeps de bitter tears,
And sadly wait de lingering years,
Sing glory hallelu'!
Nobody knows de joys has.
Nobody knews but Jesus;
Nobody knows de joys has,
Sing glory hallelu'!
ForI've Savior in de-skies,
And when dis weary body dies
My ransomed soul to Him will rise,
Sing glory hallelu'!
The last verse of this composition
should be sung with increasing fervor
and JUNCTION to the end, and on the
lines,
GMy ransomed soul to Him will rise,
Sing glory hallelu'"
the singer should initiate Aunt Rachel
herself, who used to say: 81 tell you,
honey, chile, al'us when | gifts to de
las verse OBJ dat song, l jes' wants to
pour out my 'raptured feelin's in sich
heabenly howl as 'ud swing my soul
clean ober Jordan and land it plump in
de realms OBJ bliss an glory"
Aunt Rachel never found her boy. -
In September, 1866, 1 was confined to
my bed by illness for nearly four
weeks; and on coming down town, af-
ter was able to be about, and inquir-
ing for Aunt Rachel, | learned that she
had died, and buried in pauper's
grave. But no matter; she rests as
undisturbedly in her unknown grave as
they who repose beneath marble or
alabaster. In contemplating Aunt
Rachel's fate, the closing lines of her
favorite song expresses all that need be
considered:
"For I've Savior in de skies,
An when dis weary body dies
NY ransomed soul to Him viii rise,
Sing glcry hallelu'!"
