Life in Eden.

Apropos of Adam and Eve, somebody
an old bach, or discontented
Benedict-inquires why, when Eve was
from spare rib, servant
maid wasn't created at the same time, to
wait upon her. To which somebody
else, probably woman, answers thusly:
because Adam never came whining
to Eve with ragged stocking to be
darned, button to be sewed on, or a glove
to mend right away quick, now!' Be-
cause he never read the newspapers un~
til the sun got down behind the palm
trees, and then, stretching himself out,
yawned Amt supper most ready, my
dear?' Not he. He made the fire, and
hung the kettle over 1t himself, we'll
venture; and pulled the radishes, peeled
the potatoes, and did every thing else
that he ought to do. He MIXED the
cows, fed the pigs, and looked after the
chickens himself. He never bro't home
half dozen friends to dinner when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates, and the
maugo season was over. Henevsrstay-
ed out till IL o'clock to ward meeting,
hurrahing for an out and out candidate,
and then scolded because poor Eve was
sitting up and crying iuside the gates
He never played billiards, rolled ten
pins and drove fast horses, nor choked
Eve with tobacco smoke. He never loaf
ed around corner groceries while Eve
was rocking little Gains cradle at home.
In short, he did not think she was espe-
cially created for the purpose of waiting
on him, and was not under the impress
sion that it disgraced man to tighten a
woman's cares little. That's the rea-
son Eve did not need hired girl and
with it was the reason that her fair de-
scendants did," o. 'its".

Death of . snake charmer.

A letter from Columbia county, New
York, 7th inst, says:
A man by the name of Roberts, who
has been living for some time past on
the mountains near this place, died at Z
o'clock this morning in great agony,
from the effects of bite of rattle
snake, which he had caught and exhibi-
ted to number of persons at the rail-
road depot the previous afternoon. Rob-
erts was considered to be ''snake char
mer," as he had on several previous oc-
casions caught rsttlesnakes and been
bitten by them without suffering any Sc
rious consequences. On these occasions,
for a consideration of ten cents show mo-
ney, he would take up the snake and
torment it in order to make the reptile
open its mouth and show its fangs. Du-
ring one of these exhibitions yesterday
the snake bit him twice, the last time
hanging to the hand of Roberts until he
knocked it off and killed it with his
cane. In the course of two hours the
hand and body of Roberts became swol-
len in shocking manner and covered
with spots like the snake, while his suf-
ferings were very excruciating, and con-
|tinued until he died this morning.

aGiye MS one song!. the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps allied,
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan in silent scof
Lay, grim and threatening, under:
And me tawny mound of the Malakon
No longer belchedi its thunder
There was a pause. The guar zsman said:
I'VE storm the fort tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough OF sorrow.
They Law along tine battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Ross like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle eve confession. -
near pirIi her name hedared not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed of the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sun sets embers.
while the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With screams of shot and bursts OF sneii,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Norah's eyes are dim
For singing. dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for MIN
Who sang of annie Laurie"

Your truth and yalor bearing, -.
The brayest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

Rail. -.-rif.

Rail. .-.-fti.
The scheme now before the British
Parliament for establishing q system of
pontoon service across the British Can
mel to the coast of France, is thus descri-
bed in the New York Herald:
The project is to establish pontoon
service between Dover, in England, and
the port of Andrecelles, near Boulogne,
in France, the pontoons to be made
somewhat like our ferryboats, SO as to
be boarded by trains at either end, and
large enough to accommodate at one
time twenty-four cars, with their loco
motive and tender. Each floating plat
form will measure 420 feet in length and
have steam propulsion of sixteen hun.
dred horse power. The resources of sci
ence and the experience of railroading
and building will be exhausted in
the transit as safe and easy as
possible. The pontoon boats will, in Or
binary weather, glide so smoothly and
with such uniformity through the water
that the passengers will feel scarcely any
sea motion, and the speed attainable is
estimated at from twenty to
miles per hour. The conf
puted cost of the works necessary, at
either port for the embarkatiOn and
landing of the trains and the shelter Of
and goods will be about three
million five hundred thousand dollars,
while the vessels themselves will cost
about six thousand dollars.
This enterprise receives great encour-
agement from the fact that several of the
leading capitalists Of Northern France,
among whom is Baron Anthony, Roths-
child, President of the Northern French
railway, are urging the imperial govern
ment TO construct all the needed works
at Andreceiles. Those at Dover are
promised by various private parties, and
will be put up very rapidly. This weigh
ty enterprise, which is far more of an
than local character. and
which directly interests the govern
ments of the two greatest trading ma
tions of Northern Europe, will render
passenger traffic far more easy and
agreeable than it is at present, while OBJ
viously facilitating the transmission of
the mails and of freight immensely. AT
the same time it will become another
bond of good understanding and peace.

patronage, were loud In their denun Citations
OF the old ring, IVES a. amusing to the
staunch supporters OF the Regency as 1t was
painful TO them. The pride OF the plugs was hum
bled, vaulting ambition had o'erleaped itself and
fallen on the wrong side Of the ditch. That the
braves OF Tammany would put on war paint tmme
dately and 90 on the war path against their enc

Assembly only left the Tammany chiefs masters
OF the feld, bnt gave them splendid opportunity
OF carrying destruction into the demoralized camp
OF the young democracy. No one seemed TO know
where or how the first blow was to fall, or who
