The Poisoned Tongue.

Ii is the custom in Africa for hunters
when they have xii ed a poisonous
snake, to cut off its head and carefully
bury it deep IN the ground. n naked
foot stepping on one of these fangs
would be fatally wounded. The poison
would spread in very short time all
through the system. This venom lasts
q long time, and is deadly after the
snake is dead as before. Our cruel In
dians used t. dip the points of arrows
in this pOisOn-sO, if they made the
least wound, their victim would be sure
to die.
The snakes poison is in his teeth /;
but there is something quite as danger
Gus, and much more common in COM
munities, which has its poison in its
tongue. Indeed your chances of es-
cape from \ serpent are much greater.
The worst snakes usually glide away
in fear at the approach of man, unless
disturbed or attacked. But this crea-
ture, whose poison turks in his tongue,
attacks without pTOvOcation, and fol-
lows up its victim with untiFing perse-
verance. I will tell you his name so
YOU will always be able to shun him.
He is called Slanderer. He pOisOns
worse than a serpent. Often his ven
ON strikes to the life of a whole family
or neighbOFhOOd, destroying all peace
and confidence.

AFTER BURIED TREASURE.
Digging for the Wealth OF Departed
COunteFfetters and UHcRFGRlng a
Giant.

The Knoxville Press and Herald has
a story of hidden treasure in Cooke
county, Tenn, the search for which
has unearthed the remains of a gigan-
tic Indian. The money, ii is said, was
hidden some fifty years ago by counter
feiters, who then Infested the the bor-
der States. a man named Fairfield
was told of the buried treasure by =
soldier, who had heard of it by way of
his father, and-the Press and Herald
goes On-R short time ago Mr.. Fairfield
+" told the tale as twas told to him - TO
Messrs. Underwood and Morton, who
are engaged in mining zine on tho
bluffs along Pigeon river, in Cooke
county, These gentlemen were much
interested with the narrative, and lis
tened attentively to the tale of the hid
den treasures. A few days ago they
concluded to search the numerous caves
in thatslocality for the reputed gold and
silver hidden within their receSses.
During their hasty search they found
near the entrance of one Of the caverns,
the skeleton of what appeared to be an
Indian chief of giant proportion. Near
ly the entire frame was found intact
and in a we'll preserved condition. The
bones were carefully gathered, and the
finders intend having them wired and
arranged IN Their proper pOSlLIOHS' 4HS
frame indicated that of a man at least
eight feet high and of massive build.
The skull was in perfect condition and
the teeth in complete preservation.
In the vicinity of the skeleton were
found one hundred and fifty-eight
pieces of Indian wampum." The
size of the pieces would indicate them
to be Of great value, as Indian money
is accounted.
Major Underwood was in the city
yesterday, and exhibited to us a piece
of the Wampum. 1t was q button
shaped piece of testaeeous shell, with a
hole through the center. The diameter
of the wampum was an inch and a
half and was about half an inch thick.
The money was strange to all, except
few of the old residents, whose acquain-
tance with the Indians was made by
mingling with them when they We're
lords Of the soil.
The search for the money is by no
means given up. The discovery Of the
skeleton and the WaInpum belt has but
added to the zest with which the search
is continued. We will record whatever
of interest befalls the seekers for the
treasure of the counterfeiters of fifty
years ago.

Too late they comeI" cried the rob-
Der, struggling to bear away the almost
frantic girl. There is yet time for re-
treat.n
"Quiclz! ! quick for the love of hea-
ven, gentlemen" shrieked the nun.
Too late ~ repeated Gasparoni.-
Away" And he succeeded in fore
ing her from the rock to which she
clung.
"a hundred ducats to the man. who
puts ball through the head of Gaspa-
Toni !" cried a dismounted colonel of
dragons, rushing up the rocky steep.
A earboneer sprung upon a rock, ley
elled his piece, and fired. Santa Ma
ria the bullet pierced the heart Of Ise-
onoTa, and mOrtally wounded the bril-
gand chieftain. No sooner had the
RTetched girl sunk at his feet, than the
robher uttered a deep groan. For an
instant he seemed crushed, and then
all his energy returned. Though the
blood was pouring freely from his
wound, he cooked his gun. aimed at
the unlucky carbineer, and fired. The
soldier sprang into the air, aud fell
headl0szg from the pFscipiee, on fiae
verge of which he had been standing.
The fight was over. The bEigands
were all slain, captured. or put to flight.
On one side of LeOnora's body kneeled
the Lady Abbess, on the other Gaspa-
rOni, drawing the breath with difficult
ty, momentarily expecting to breathe
his last.
Req,aescat IN pace :'' cried the Alb
bess. " She was the lawful daughter
Of the man to whom surrendered my
honor in my early days. Her mother
wiled away my betrayer from me,
therefore / had q natural right to her;
but loved her-I loved LeOnOTa Car.
iiale as if she had been my child"
Here the dying brigand groaned hea-
vilY "Open his vest" said the Alb
bess, cOmpassiOnating even the fallen
sinner. "Give him air, it may revive
HIM"
Some OF the soldiers barred the breast
of the robbeT, from which the life-blood
was fast flowing.
Mother of God, what do l see ~
cried the Abbess. "I'he cross indelibly
imprinted in the flesh, that in after
years might recognize the child of my
shame. My son! my son! from
what horror has not this death freed
you. She whom you pursued with
your fatal love-LeOnora--w your
sister,"
The dying man bowed his head upon
his breast. " Sister mOtherr were
the words he feebly uttered. They
were his last. Gasparoni, the bTigand,
has gone to his account.

WOundlng for the Bead.

Upon the death Of their kings, the
LacediPmonians We're in the habit of
assembling together, when every rank
and sex expressed their grief by tear
ing the flesh from their fOreheads with
sharp instruments. The following cor
roborations of so singulara practice are
derived from tribes widely separated.
Zone formality in mourning for the
dead, among the Naudowessies, is very
different from any mode ever Observ-
ed in the other nations through which
I passed. The men, to show how great
their sorrow is, pierce the flesh of their
arms above the elbows with arrows,
the scars of which 1 could perceive on
those of every rank in a greater or less
degree; and the women cut and cash
their, legs with sharp broken flints, till
the blood flows vely plentifully.n II

PASTORAL.

The following poem, by A. J. Munby,
hitherto unknown English poet, is one Of the
most beautiful things we have seen in years.
1t is not only exquisitely sweet, natual and
easy in its flow, but il is a marvel in the way
of Versidcation. Observe the wonderfully
ingenious manner in which certain words of
the first stanza are made 20 rhyme with the
corresponding words in the second, and so
on with the third and fourth, etc.:
sat with Doris, the Shepherd maiden;
Her crook was laden with VTreathed flowers
sat and wOoed her through sunlight wheel
ing,
And shadows stealing for hours and hours.
And she, my Doris, whose lap incloses
Wild summer roses OF faint perfume,
The while 1 sued her, kept hushed and
Till shades had darkened from gloss to gloom
She touched my shoulder with fearful in
She said, g We liuger, we must not stay,
My nock, IN danger, my sheep viii wander;
Behold them yonder, how far they stray!''
I answered bolder, '' Nay, let me hear you,
And still be near you, and still adore!
No wolf or stranger will touch one yeaTling
All stay my darling, moment more"
She whispered, signing, There viii be sor-
Beyond tomorrow, If lose to-day;
Ny fold unguarded, my flock Unfolded-
shall be scolded and sent away"
Said I, replying, " If they dismiss you,
They ought to kiss you when you get home;
And well rewarded by friend and neighbor
Should be the labor from which you come"
" They might remember" she answered
nneekly,
- That lambs are weakly and sheep are wild
But if they love me its none SO fervent-
I am a servant and not a child"
Then each hot enlber glOwed quick within
me,
And love did win me to swift reply;
/" All! do not prove me, and none shall bind
Nor~fray,' nor find you, until I die"
She bIushed, and started, and stood await
ing,
As if debating in dreams divine;
But did brave them-I told her plainly
She doubted vainly, she must be mine.
So we twin.hearted, from all the valley,
Did rouse and rally her nibbling ewes;
And hOmeward drove them, we two tOgetl-
Through blooming heather and cleaning
deWs.
That simple duty from grace did lend her
Ny Doris fender, my Doris true;
hat her Warder did always bless her,
And often press her to take her due,
And now in beauty she fills my dwelling
With love exceiiing and undehIed;
And love doth guard her both fast and fer

CHAPTER II.

Daylight is dying along the stern
heights of the ATuzzi. Surrounded by
impending crags, and clustering in dis
array, a bandit group are carOusing
Hoisily together, and tOasting the de-
parting god of day in OverflOWing cups
of fiery wine. A portion of the wild
company sit in the dark shadow Of the
rocks, while others bask in the last rosy
hues of sunset. Among the latter is
one distinguished by his lofty air and
stature from the rest, and wearing a
somewhat richer garb than his COM
pauiOns. His cOmical hat is decked
with gay ribands. his green velvet
Jacket is studded with gold buttons,
and his lower garments are scanned
with the richest lace An ornamental
carbine was slung by band of snowy
leather at his back, and pair of richly
mounted pist tolls gIittered in his girdIe.
Neither was he without the Italians
bosom friend, a broad stilettO, which
repOsed in a silver sheath, with its
ivory handle prOtruding from the rob-
ber's sash. But all this richness of at
tire cOntrasted strangely with the worn,
haggard, stern ana vicious expression
of the bandit. twas Gasparoni-now
twenty years of age.

one of the robbers, raising cup to his
lips. Z" All ~ added he, after swallow

Strike the Knot.

\ writer in the London ChatterbUx
gives some good advice, but it has two
sides to il. There are times when it is
not wise to strike the knot, but if you
have it to do, do it with all your might {:
" When we were boys-littIe fellows"
he says, " our father began to teach u
TO work, and were anxious TO perform
our allotted tasks in splitting wood. 4
rough stick with most obstinate knot
tried all the skill and strength Of a
weak arm, and we were about to give
up the task, when father came along.
He saw the piece Of wood had beeT
chipred down, and the knot hack
around, and took the axe, saying, :
ways strike the knot, boys I'll
words have ever remained safe i'll my
memory, and they are precious words.
Never try to shun difficulty, but look
il right in the face; catch its eye, and
YOU can subdue it as a man can a lion.
It will cover before you, and sneak
away and hide itself If you dread diff
ficulties, difficulties will grow upon you
till they overcome you. Don't chip
round about the knot, but drive fair
and full into it.
