which never heard before or since-a
low, moaning cry, that sounded like All
alonel all alone = over and over again.
[ can't tell to this day whether really
heard it or only fancied it; but at the
time it gave me such a horror that
nearly went mad.
"The third morning came, and found
me nearly at my last. The gnawing pain
was gone, and instead of it had come a
pleasant drowsiness, like what man
feels when he falls down to sleep in the
snow All the morning lay in a kind
of dream, thinking of nothing, fearing
nothing-as quiet as q child at its
mothers breast; till all at once | saw
something that reused me in good
earnest black, shining thing, like a
long strip of velvet, coming gliding into
the tent. / knew it directly for one of
the deadliest snakes in Australia. The
next moment heard the rustic of its
coils up the tent-pole to which my hamt
mock was slung, and then saw its fiat
head and black, beady eyes hanging
over me, and looking right down into
my face to see if were dead or not. I
suppose it thought | was, for the next
minute it slid down over my face, and
to and fro along the hammock, till at
last it went to the other pole, and there
it glided off, and | saw no more of it,
Any body watching me then would
have called me brave fellow; but /
dare say it's not the first time that a
man has been thought brave because he
couldn't run away!
~ don't know how long it was after
that-it may have been an hour, or
day, or a week, for all | could tell-that
shadow fell across my face, and | heard
voice calling out, Holloa, mate can
you give us ire-stick? I've let my
fire out With the sound of that voice
all my love of life came back again, and
| gathered up my strength to try and
speak.
"Seeing me lie there so white and
still, the fellow must have thought me
deadi; and for moment-the bitterest
moment | ever had-I thought he was
going to turn and 60 out again; but,
although could not speak, | managed
just to move my eyelids, and he saw it.
He said nothing, but raised my head on
his arm, and took out his flask to pour
some rum into my mouth and then |
knew that l was saved, and with the
shock of the reaction | tainted in right
earnest"
Here my strange companion suddenly
ceased, and, rising from his chair, said
to me, "You've had your story, stran.-
ger, and now I'm going to bid you good
night; for haven't spoke of this busi-
ness since it befell, and it rather upsets
me thinking of it. You tell me you're
off early tomorrow morning, so its
a hundred to one if we ever meet again ;
but, in any case, wish you success in
your travels, and may you end better
than I have done !"
Then, grasping my hand with force
that made it tingle TO the wrist, he de-
parted.
His parting words were true, for we
have never met since that night; but
should these lines ever meet his eye, it
may crafty him to know there is at
least one man in the world who fully be-
lieves his story even though it be las

A MONDAY Bank Robbery.

From the Utica On. ~ observer, l9th
The inhabitants of Fulton county
have been in high state of excitement
since Saturday noon, caused by the rob-
berry of the Gloversville Bank, at Clio
versville, in the early part of Saturday
afternoon, and the killing of Marcus
Dye, in the same village, at ! o'clock
yesterday morning. The following are
all the particulars of the robbery which
we are allowed to make public at pres
ent Between | and o'clock on Satur-
day afternoon, man came into the
Gloversville Bank and inquired how
large Government stamp it was neces-
sary to affix to mortgage for $1,000.
The teller replied, "a 81 stamp" The
man thanked him and stepped back
from the counter to a small desk to
make way for other parties who entered
at the time.
After these parties had been waited
on, the man approached the teller's
desk and said he observed that the bank
advertises Northern Pacific bonds for
SALE" and engaged the teller in conver-
sation about railroad securities, making
a special inquiry in regard to the value
of the Fonda, Johnstown and Glovers-
vile Railroad bonds as an investment.
The teller gave him all the information
in his power After further conversation
on various subjects, the stranger thanked
the teller for the information received,
and left the bank. While teller was
thus engaged, second party, who was,
without doubt, the "pal" of the inquisi-
tive stranger, obtained access to the
vault of the bank and succeeded in alb
stracting from it available funds to the
amount of $4,000, and about $4,000
worth of North Carolina coupon and
other bonds.

The Subtle Cord.

When on the crowded thOroughfare
Amidst the motley throng [ stray,
In all the stranger faces there

Whether the face besyoung or old,
Or wreathed in smiles, or calm, or cold,
On every brow | trace some line
That links the strangers heart to mine.
Though proud beauty rustles by,
With naughty mien, [ smile and say,
You have heart-ache-so have L
We both are hiding it to-day;
Though you are rich and | am poor,
We both have entered Sorrows door; 81 -
Grief comes alike to you and me;
So we are of one family"

The poorest deliver that / see, : 90
Youth and old age upon the street :
Are one and all the same to me.
No heart that beats but has its grief,
Nor wealth nor youth give full relief;
And through the tears that sometimes fall
/ claim relationship to all. -.-
SO poor and rich, and low and high,
/ meet upon this common plain,
Though far and wide our paths may lie,
We entertain the same guest-Pain.
The subtle threads of this strange cord
Draw me to mankind and the Lord;
And through the sorrows Heaven sends,
hold all men to be my friends.

SHEEP-TIcKs.-Now is favorable time
for raid on ticks. They have left the
shorn sheep to escape the light, and
will be found gathered in force on the
lambs. Lambs cannot thrive when
tormented by them. The best and sim
plest remedy is tobacco. To make the
dip. take a pound of cheap plug to-
bacco for every twenty lambs, tear it up
and boil in water sufficient to entirely
cover the lamb. Have a water.t tight
box large enough to hold a lamb. Ar
range sloping liquid at the side of the
box which will permit the spare liquid
to run back into it. When the dip is
quite cold, put it in the box, take a
lamb by the fore legs in one hand, with
the other cover up the mouth and nos
trile, let an assistant take the hind
legs, and immerse the lamb entirely,
long enough to allow the dip to pene-
trate the wool. Lay the lamb on the
sloping table and squeeze out the sur
plus liquid, and the operation is com
plete. Do this each year and ticks will
disappear altogether.

A Novel Life PreSerVer.

Those who, in the interests of COM
merce, science, or gain, are accustomed
to the dangers of the ocean, will be glad
to know that something in the shape OF
a life preserver, more deserving OF that
name than the almost useless devices
hitherto in vogue for that purpose, has
lately been contrived, and its adapta-
bility tested by satisfactory trials. The
invention is very simple. The casing
for the body, which is made OF India
rubber, is shaped from the arms down
to the feet, inclusive, to correspond with
the form of man, but made large to
permit its being easily put on. The
bolts of the casing have weights firmly
attached thereto, and two glasses are
provided for the purpose of vision. The
apparatus has a cylindrical air recep-
tacle with bell-valve, having a pipe
leading therefrom into the interior OF
the casing. There is complete protec-
ton for the mouth and nose, making 1T
impossible for water to enter. Another
apparatus for this purpose, extremely
simple, is due to French ingenuity. Tne
plan is to cut hole in one side of
barrel or cask large enough to admit
man. Underneath this cask are sus-
pended some bars of iron as ballast.
Around the occupants neck may be
drawn piece of canvas to exclude the
dashing waves. This affair, with a man
in it, dropped from a stranded ship,
will, it is asserted, invariably be washed
ashore, and can tow rope, thus giving
a chance for others to escape. 1t can
be prepared in few minutes by any
carpenter.

California Cherries.

Uncle Ned is a character, genivs, a
philosopher. With all his professed an
tipathy to everything certain, he is oc-
casionally surprised into an acknowledg-
ment of the merits of something
brought to his notice. It may be moth
ing more than the cut of garment,
the speed OF horse, the architectural
beauty of building, or the quality or
size of some vegetable production; but
he Immediately qualities his remark
with, ooh, it does very well in these re-
gions-it wouldn't be much in Califor-
MIA, though"
We had some very fine large cherries
on the table one day last summer.
After surveying them for moment,
Uncle Ned remarked that they beat
anything he ever saw-and then there
was a short pause-"that is to say,
around here"
"Uncle Ned" said l, you never
saw cherry in California larger than
those" E...-
"Well, perhaps didn't"
"Why," said I, chow large are they
in California, and how do they sell
them ?'
"Well," he replied, with all the gravi-
ty of a Judge, 81 that depends some
thing, of course, upon the season of the
year. They vary in size as well as in
price. They sell them by the pound,
and if you only want q few pounds they
generally charge about twenty-five cents
pound; but if you want a whole
cherry they'll let you have it for about
fifteen cents pound"
VEGETABLE VITAL1TY.-On this subject
. Once Week" remarks:
One of the most curious facts in con-
nection with chemical researches is the
remarkable vitality of the lower organ
isms in nature. In vegetable subjects,
for instance, vitality may lie dormant
for period which is almost inconceiv-
able. Stramonium seeds, according to
Duhamel, can develop after remaining
twenty five years under ground. Erie
valid observed the generation of melon
seeds after they had been kept more
than forty years. Pliny goes so far as
to say that corn grew after it had been
kept hundred years. And there seems
no reason to doubt the fact; for Des-
moulins obtained plants from seeds
found in a Roman tomb of the third or
fourth century. Moreover, it is well
known that corn found in some of the
tombs of ancient Egypt has terminated
and grown to perfection; and the result
of the experiment of sowing some OF
this mummied corn in this country has
been the production of new ears, larger
and far more prolific than those of our
modern wheat. A squill bulb, too, found
in the hands of mummy, has, when
planted at the present day and in this
country, grown and blossomed as readi-
ly as the last years hyacinth from Hol-
land, \, hich flowers in our windows every
spring. The only solution of the mystic
ry of this extraordinary vitality is, that
the germs of life have slumbered for all
these long ages.

Sonnet.
BY GEORGE H. BOXER.

There is no greater sorrow, Dante said
Than to remember happy days in grief.
But to remember? Is this sorrow chief?
Can no more weight upon the heart be laid?
Yea; if from out those pleasures, which upbraid
Our present ills return a withered leaf,
A face. a song-to sense however brief
That thing is more than Memory's whole
parade.
1t is as though a sailor, from the wave
On which he struggles, sees his wreck so by,
An arms length only from his yielding grave
And halls his loss with despairing cry,
Knowing the bark can neither live nor save,
Then tastes his briny death without sigh.

A WRITER in AppLeton's Journal collates
the proverbs, superstitions and curious
facts about cats. This extract may save
some mothers worry: A common SUI
perstition charges cats with sucking the
breath of infants, thereby causing their
death by strangulation. This is q, false
accusation, as pussy's mouth is SO
formed anatomically that she would not
be able to do so sanguinary deed ana
she wish it. Instances are on record
where cats have crawled into a cradle
or bed, and laid down on an infants
face, not probably with any criminal
intent-though children have been
found dead under such circumstance
but purely for the sake of the warmth
of the infants body ald clothing.

PENNsYLvANIA WIFE POISONING CASE
Emanuel Shatfner, of Union Deposit, Pa, l.
under arrest, suspected of having poisoned two
wives. Suspicion was directed to the accused
by various circumstances connected with the
death OF the two women. and he was arrested.
On the 30th ult., the bodies were exhumed. A
correspondent OF the Harrisburg State journal
writes that the body of the first wife, Cbetore
marriage Miss Settler, of Lebanon county, )
was nearly all decayed except the stomach
liver and portions of the vicera, which are un-
dergoing ANALYSIS. When the coffin of the
second wife formerly Miss Nancy Good, OF
Highspire) was exhumed il appeared that the
lid had been tempered with. The rural neigh
borhoOd where the alleged crime is supposed to
have been committed is naturally in a fever of
excitement over it, frst-elass sensation.
