NEW CURE FoR SNAKE BITES.

About three weeks ago Mr.. Ruck-
man of Tunfower county, Miss had
occasion to ride through a portion of
his land thicl<ly studded with cane.
Being on horseback, in penetrating the
dense growth, he naturally raised his
arm (the leit) TO part tho branches.
In doing so he felt a smart sting on
his arm, quickly followed by another,
..l l. ,,s.ss:-.i :. L.so auttlcsual<C
hanging TO his arm, nc caught him
with his right hand and attempted to
throw him TO the ground; but in do
ing so the snake struck the horse on
which Mr.. r. was riding; the horse
died nine days afterward from the bite.
Mr.. Ruckman rode home as fast as
possible, his arm having swollen to
such proportions as would almost equal
the size ofhis body. Hehadno whisky
in the house, but some chloroform, and
there was no physician nearer than
fiftecn miles He took oil the chloro-
form he had, but without effect. His
wife then beat the whites of six eggs,
mixed salt with them, and applied the
mixture to the two wounds. p
Mr.. Ruclman isnow well and ready
for moro snakes. He says that to the
happy thought Of his wife in making
tho preparation she did, and to his own
nerve IN resisting the thought Of death
from II snake bite, he attributes his
present good health. Nothing remains
10 show The ordeal through which he
has passed but the tiny scars in the
arm where the vcnomous iangs entered
the flesh. The swelling is assungedi
and he has perfect use Of his arm lie
saws the only inconvcniccnc he suffers
is that occasionally he feels a pain N
the left side and shortness Of breath
but apprchends no further trouble
The snake had fourteen rattlcs, ant
measured five feet and four inches II
length.

LETTING The OLD CAT DIE"

But what hc pushed, or where he went,

On account Of the thieket of bending boughs
That bordered the place about.
'"The little william has stoned cat,
Or hung It upon q limb,
And lcft Il to die all alone" said,
"But IN play the mischief with him."
| forced my way between the boughs,
The poor old eat 10 seek;
And what did l find, but sunny child,
With her bright hair brushing her cheek.
Her bright hair fiirted to and fro,
With the rose-light in her face,
She seemed like bird and bower in one,
And the forest her native place.
''sieady, III send you up my child"
But she stopped me With acry,
so way. 70 way, don't touch me, p'eose
I'm letting the old cat die -
"rou letting him die |" cried aghast
'Why, where 10 tho cat, my dear y
And, 10 the laughter that filled the woods,
Was thing for the birds to hear.
"why, don't you know" said the little maid,
The fitting, beautiful elf,

Then swinging and swinging, and looking back
With the merrisst laugh in hcr eye,
She badc me good day" and / left her alone,
A "lelting the old cat die !"
