so far as can he seen, there is no portentous
danger Of a movement or lie sign In that di-
rection. There is but little in the signs of the
times that would suggest or call for general
ofganizaiion against such an evil, aud we had
not supposed there was religion enough of an

hurt any body, or to SUR its citizens TO en-
trench and fortify themselves against the
powers Of darkness, clothed in state panOply.

THE RATTLE sNAk,s ENEMY.

Of all enemies with which the rattle4
snake has to contend, except man, the
hog is the most destructive. An old
sow with litter of pigs to provide food
for, will hunt for the reptile with a per-
severance and sagaci,y truly astonishing,
tracking them by their scent to their
hiding places and never letting them es-
cape. In the Westin early times, and
now throughout the, country, if rattle
snakes become troublesome in any local
ity, drove OF hogs turned into tEeir
baunts, and the snakes soon disappear
The hog, when it sees rattlesnake, in
stantly ereets it's brietle and back, and
commences rattling its trsks. The snake
accepts the challenge, and prepares for
defense. The old pOrher seems to under
stand what parts of its body are invul-
nerable TO poison, so il gets down upou
its knees, and in this awkwa ard position
deliberately crawls by sidelong motion
up 10 the enemy. The snake darts for
ward and the hog dextrously catches the
iangs in the fat Of the jaws-the blow
is repeated, and the hog having been
smitten one cheek deliberately turns the
other This the animal continues to dc
until the snake has not only exhausted for
the time being its poison but also its
strength. The hog then deliberately ri
ses from it's knees, and, now regardless
of conseque nces, seizes the serpent neal
the head, and putting its foretOot upon
its squirming body, strips the reptile
through its teeth, and thus tears it to
pieces. il the hog, as is sometimes the
case, happensto be very lean, and the
poison fangs thereby strikes the circnla
tiun, il will die from the wound, but thi,
conjunction rarley takes place.
