Two ADVENTUROUS YoUTHs.-ln
Fayette county, near the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, there
is famous rattlesnake den, which has
always been a source of terror and
fear to those who have looked over it's
precincts, as well as to those who have
even heard Of the fearful revelations
regarding the size and the number of
the venomous reptiles which iufest
this poison-stricken cavern. In num-
Der their name is legion, and in their
age, size and downright Radicalism,
there are no figures or names to re-
present them. A short time since
two daring young men resolved to
make an experiment by way Of form
ing some insight as regarded their
numbers, and clothing themselves
from head to foot in suits. of thick
buckskin (such as our friend Donally
uses to make his best gloves,) with
large, sharp knives in hand, they sal
lied forth into the poison-infested re.
gion. They entered, cutting and
slashiug, the snakes rattling, Kissing
and striking at their adversaries, and
when these cnterpsising youths land
ed on the other side their clothes
were a sight to see! As a snake
would strike, his fangs would be deep
ly and firmly implanted in the buck
skin. and off would go his head by a
well-directed blow by the hand and
knife. BY making fair count. it
was found that two hundred and for
ty snake heads were attached to the
clothes Of one Of the party, and one
hundred and sixty heads firmly fas-
tened to the other More would have
been secured, but it was not a good
day for snakes. But any one who does
not believe the foregoing true story will
be convinced of its entire correctness
by inquiring at this Office for the name
of our informant.

HOW SHE TAKES THE TRAIN

She comes down to the depot
in an express wagon three hours
before train time. She insists on
sitting on her trunk, out OF tho
platform, to keep it from being
stolen. She picks up her reticule,
fan, parasol, lunch basket, small
pot with a house plantin it, shawl,
paper bag of candy, boquet (she
never travels without one), small
tumbler. and extra vail, and chases
hysterically after every switch en-
gine that goes'b by, under the i'm.
preston that it is her train. Her
voice trembles as she presents her.

buy q ticket, and she knocks with

door of the old disused Toulouse

man will come out and check her

the depot and on the platform
when her train will start, and
where it will stand, and looking
straight at the great clock, asks

with terror, the baggage man shy

men are smoking, instead of lock.
ing it up by itself in a large,
strong, brown car with "bad or

which she has long ago determined
to be the baggage car, as the only
safe one in sight. Although the

to get her ticket, and once on the
cars, she sits, to the end of her
journey, in an agony of apprehen-
sion that she has got On the tram

Charles Bright sat on the door
step late one evening, looking
very dissatisfied. This was rath-
! CT unuSuai, for he was such q good
natufcd, merry little fellow, that
1T school he, was us often called
"BriSht Charley, as Charley
! Bright.
"Why, what's the matter with
my boy?" asked his Aunt Fannie,
rs she came up the steps with 4
basket Of fresh gathered flowers.
"Nothing much, Aunt Fannie" !"
was the reply. But Aunt Farnle
! evidently y saw that all was not
right. Drawing his attention to
her pretty flowers, Charles be-
came Interested in their tasteful
arrangement, and his warm healt
soon lost its reserve.
"Auut Fannie" said he after a
little pause; "what is the use for
/ anybody to try to do right? This
morning all the boys we're going
fishing, and Mrs. Phifer told Frank
he might 60, but Mrs. Brown told
Rob that he was too little, and he
! must not 90, Rob stole off and
I went with the poys, and while he
and Frank were fishing together
in the boat, they were overturned,
and came very near boing drown
ed. Now, one boy miaded, and
the other didn't, and they both
got ducking, just the same
That's just the way all the time,
and I don't see any sonse in it"
"Well LII tell what L think of
it, said Aunt Fannie. "You
know God sends blessings on the
just and unjust, the bad, worldly
man fares just as well as his good
neighbor, and some times better.
But mark this, Charley, the result
will be different. AS for Frank
and Rob, | happen TO know some
thing about their case. Frank went
home with a good conscience, fog
the accident was an unavoidable
one, aud he was not 10 fault. Rob
went home sad and guilty, and
his mother punished him severely
for his diso5edience. | was at
Mrs. Phifer's when Frank came
in dripping, with streaks of mud
on his face, and his mother actually
drew him to her bosom while he
told his story. and kissed him re-
peatedLy as she thanked God for
sparing his life. Now I've no
doubt Rob's mother loves him just
as dearly. But instead of both
boys deserving or receiving the
same, Frank will go to bed to-
night peaceful and happy, and
poor little Rob will 60 repentant,
I hope, but there is great stain
on this day for him. Don't you
sec, Charley boy, that h u g h
good people and bad people may
seem to get the same reward, that
it really isn't so? Time will
show!"
And as Aunt Fannie and Char
ley went in to tea, she whispered
to him: =
"God sees as every day and ev-
cry minute Of the day. We ought
to do right for His sake, and the
rewards and punishments will
take care Of themselves" KIND

and speedily obtained by the for
nation Of 4 new and independent
party, or by The Influence Of the
new movement upon the principles
and platforms Of either, or both,
Of the existing parties, is i qucs-
ton that merits, and will doubt
less receive due attention.
The Houston, Texas county,
(Mo.) Democrat, treating Of the
Farmers movement concludes:
This movement Of the agricuI-
tural interests OF the country has
not commenced q bit too soon ;
and however modest and timid
may be their first action, they will
soon find themselves caught up
in the whirliny tide Of State and
National politics: and will be COM
PEELED whether they wish itor not,
to consider all the grave problems
now before the country, and others
that may be speedily prccipitatcd
upon it. Indeed, the fact Of the Or:
ganization Of these clubs and
oranges, and their introduction
into the @ld, with the influence
and the interests that they repre-
sent, as q compact, Independent
elem ent, cannot fail to retire many
Of the issues OF the past, that have
been settled, but which Radical
politicians persist in keeping be-
fore tho public, aud presenting
newer and more vital ones in
their stead.
Tho Macon (Missouri) Demo-
cratic Times, speaking of the pop
ular uprising says:
The farmers war, as it is some
times called, is destined to have a
great political influence. 1t has
already reused the people from
that Indifference to public virtue
which we have looked as one Of
the most dangerous symptoms Of
the times, and has taught them
that it is more important to ask
about their candidates whether
they are honest and capable, than
whether they have the support Of
the regular caucus and always
hurrah for the regular platform.
The effect fthis will be to raise the
standard Of the party nominations.
Neither side can afford to present
a candidate whose character will
not bcartho closest examination.
|. Advising the farmers, the Paris
(Mo.) Mercury has the following {:
Their. policy should be, now
and hereafter, to choose none but
true, tried, faithful and honest
men, to serve them IN Office. That
the whole race of dishonest poll
ticians, men in Office and power,
who are living and rioting off the
hard earnings Of the toiling
masses, stand in awe ofthis great
movemant, is quito cvidcnt-for
many. Of them already see the
handwriting standing out in glow
ing colors upon the wall.

THE DIFF FFIC ULTT WITH
THAT HORSE.

We had a good deal Of trouble
with our horse last summer. Hc
was L bob-tailed horse, and seem
ed to annoy him so much that he
couldn't reach the flies which fat
tened on his ribs, that it occurred
to US to fix him up a kind Of arti-
fetal tail 10 relieve the situation, as
itwere. 80 we procured three feet
Of ha!f-inch rope, unraveled about
eighteen inches of it, and spliccd
the other end to. the horses tail.
This would, have, enabled him to
switch a fly off bis nose as soon
as he had acquired a little prac-
tice. But our Irishman, seeing
the rope, and not understanding
our motive precisely, concluded
that we were trying experiments
with some new kind Of hitchiIg
strop to he used in the rear, and
so ho tied the horse to the stall
that night by his artificial continu-
alton. BY morning the feed-box
was kicked to kindling wood and
the horse was standing on three
legs; with the other leg caught 10
the hay rack, while hc'chewed up
four Of the best boards in the side
ofthe stable in front Of him. Then
We got him up another rope tail,
and explained the theory to our
man.
But the tail bothered the hostler
so much while currying the horse
IT,. Il he tied half a brick to it to
hold it still. The consequence vas
that the horse, in a moment of ex-
citement, jerked. the brick around
and mashed in the Irishman's
nose, and be sued us, and we spent
two hundred dollars trying to set
tie the case. Then we bought a
bunch of horse hair, and spliced
that on very neatly. When our
new man came he began 10 curry
that tail, and it came off in his
hand. He thought it indicated
q diseased condition of the horse,
and gave him huge dose of some
kind ofpatent powder to improve
the animals health, and in half
an hour the horse had con7ulsions,
during which he kicked down the
stable door, battered the stall into
spllnters. hammered four more
boards out Of the partition, dislo-
Gated his off hind leg, and died in
frightful agony. Now we have a
horse with q long tail, and when
we see a peddlcr coming with
horse medicine We send dog out
TO interview him, and bombard
him from the front window with
a shotgun. =.
Do'not grie7e after that winch
is irreeoverably: lost.

one very fine morning, when Phe-
Ian was dressing her captivating
