the snake glided over the side, every
thing around me seemed to swim, and I
tried to catch at the wall Of the hut to
save myself from falling.
But that soon went of, and gazing in
at the window I tried to make out the
whereabouts Of my enemy, as I recapped
and tapped the gun. so that the powder
might run up the nipple.
The snake was nowhere to be seen,
and darting in I seized the child, and

OF the hut we used for sleeping place,

beast must be there; and to make it
more probable, there was our ca5, that

could see between the two boards the
scaly body gliding along. The next
moment there came the loud report of
the gun, the place was full OF smoke,
there was a loud scutfling noise, and as
looked down between the boards
where the charge had forced d passa ge
through, there was no sign Of the snake.

just then. and on rushing out, there was
the beast writhiny about in the path,
evidently badly wounded, while some
crushed down flowers BY the hut wall

twist as that did, but I was too excited

FAMILY CIRCLE.
Don't be in a Hurry to Go.

Come boys, L have something to tell you;
Come here, would whisper it low;
You're thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions,
But think Of the vice and the sins;
But when one is in the vortex Of fashion
How sOCn the course downward begins,
You talk of the miners of Australia,
They're wealthy in treasure, no doubt,
But, ah there's gold in the farm, BOYS,
If only you'll shovel it out;
The mercantile life is hazard
The goods are first high then low;
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be in hurry to go.
The great busy West has inducements:
And so has the business mart;
And wealth is not made in day. bows
Don't be in hurry to start,
The banker and broker are wealthy.
And take in their thousands or so:
All think of their frauds and deception.
Don't be in hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest.
The orchards are loaded to-day:
You are free as the air Of the mountain
And monarch Of all you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer
Though profits come in rather slow.
hemember you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in hurry to 20.

POLITICAL.

Last week we took occasion to men,
tion some Of the prominent reasons why
the Mollison ticket was elected. This
week we give an additional one. All
persons coming from the country-if they
take any interest in politics-seek out a
few in the the city who make it a bust
ness to keep posted, and to lead in the
management Of affairs. OF such, the
outsiders learn the feeling in the city.
This course was pursued last year, and
it so came to pass that J. F. Anterior,
then Clerk of the Court, was understood
by the party almost unanimously to be
its candidate for the next election. In
all their consultations so far as we are
aware, the mention Of no other name fol-
that office was received with satisfaction
but it was universally conceded that Mr.
Atherton-at least 50 far as he knew
was the only candidate, and this condi
ton Of affairs continued until after the
election Of delegates in this city, and thu
first intimation Of unfriendliness, was
found in the choice of hostile delegations
At such treatment Mr.. Anterior wa.
justly indignant. There was not q sin
gle man in office in the county at tina
time who was not to some extent indebt
ed to him for position, nor We there but
single one in the whole corps who did
not "go back" upou him, at the moment
when of all others he most needed their
friendship and aid. They smilingly led
him blindfold up to the altar, and the1
instead of iniating him as they had prom
ised, pockcted the fee, and cut off his
political head. That is how it came
abont that Anterior worked with til,
Alollisonites, and that is another reason
why the latter were successful.

ACCIDENTALLY Shot. - Monday
morning last, son Of Jacob Roth,
about ii years of age, residing on
East Prairie, was accidently shot by
another bay who was attempting to
shoot a prairie chicken with small
revolver. It appears that the chicken
was in a small grove Of timber, and
tho boy who was injured was near him
unobscrvcd. The ball evidently struck
a twig and glanced, as he stood several
rods out Of direct range. The ball en-:
tered tho boys side between the eighth
and ninth ribs, passed through tho left
kidney, and lodged in the deep layer
Of the muscles Of tho back. Dr.. Geo.

There in a Counterfeit Aaoat,

WASHINGTON, July 26.-A dangerous
counterfeit five-dollar note on the Traders
Rational Bank Of Chicago, has been dis
covered here. The general appearance
of the bill is such as to deceive. The es-
sential points of difference between the
genuine and the counterfeit are these
Under the letter &C." in the word Chica-
60, on the face of the note, the last shade
line runs into the top of the first letter in
the word pay" which is directly under
1t; while in the genuine distinct space
intervenes. In the date of the year 1856,
under the righthand end Of the words
five dollars" in the body of the note.
the numbers "six'' and five" come closely
together; in the counterfeit there is a
much wider space. The panels in the
border surrounding the face of genuine
note have numerous marks of the draperv :
In the counterfeit the marks are fewer
and less distinct. ri. - -"
On the reverse of the note, the most
distinctive point of difference between
the counterfeit and genuine appears in
the lathe work inclosing the figure .5'' at
the lower right and left hand corners Of
the note, the eccentric circles being nearly
round and distinct in the counterfeit, and
much more eccentric and less clear in the
genuine. The paper upon which the note
is printed is inferior in quality to that
used by the government, being much
coarscr; but the entire bill is liable to
deceive even an expert at the first glance.
