A DISMAL PLACE.

Mr. james Bricc, in an article in the
CornhW Mdgd-ine, describes Iceland IN
a chilly way. He says therc are no
trees, though apparently there were
plenty in the tenth century, when we
hear Of men hiding among them and
being hanged from them. No corn is
grown, nor amy other crop. except a
few turnips and potatoes, which tastc
only half ripe. The only wild quadru-
peds are the blue fox (who has proba-
bly, come, as the white bear now and
then does, on ice-hocs from Grcenlnnd),
and the windcer-thc latter introduced
about century ago, and still uncom-
mon, ranging over the desert noun
tains There is no town except the
capital, u city of 800 people, no other
place deserving to be called even VII
lagc, unless il be the hamlet Of Aku-
revi. on the shore of the Artic ocean
with some fifty houses; no inns (save
one in that village whose resources
consists Of two beds, n single jug and
basin AMI a billiard table, no hens
ducks or geese except wild gccsc) ne
pigs, no donkeys, no roads, no carriages
no shops, no manufactures, no disscn
tiers from the established fmthcranism
no army, navy, volunteers or othel
guardians Of public order, except ON
policeman in Rcykjavik, no criminals
only two lawyers, and finally, n
snakes. "What, then, is there 2" ask
| Mr.. Bricc, and replies, "Snow, noun
'ains, glaciers, hot springs, volcanoes
earthquakes, northern lights, cavcrn'
morasses, and above all, deserts"

was also familiar TO the dog, who, hear
ing II, at once sprang upon the snake
and, it is supposed, caught it by the
tail and tore away its rattles, as their
sound was not afterward heard.
Then commenced death struggle.
The snake would strike at the dog.

the brave fellow placed his feet on its
body, and with the energy of despcra-

him he literally tore out its vitals and
strcwed them on the ground. In a
moment and at the very climax of vie
tory the faithful dog reeied and fell to
the ground, and in few minutes was
stiff in death, notwithstanding every
possible effort was made to save him.
The snake was an enormous one, and
from Mr.. Terrells account must have
been at least five feet long.

MONKEY SAGACITY.

various edibles, when we Were disturbed
by the arrival and the noise of troop
of large, black-faced monkeys. The
branches overheard literally swarmed
with them, They looked ON us as in
terlopers, no doubt and for some time
their gestures appeared so menacing,
that we were apprehensive they would
dispute the ground with us.
We had just risen from our meal,
when, to our surprise, one of the mon

tribe, each individual vieing with the
other in the loudness of his tongue
Their looks and gestures made il ap.
parent that they suspected us of being
the cause Of the sudden death of their
juvenile comrade. But We were un-
armed, and the good sense of the mon
keys seemed to tell them that their
must bc some other culprit.
Having come TO this conclusion, one
monkey, apparently the senior and
leader Of the whole tribe, separated
himself from the rest, ran to the spot
ON the branch, and then glidcd nimbly
down ono of the pillars or pendant
roots, and came to tho corpse of the
monkey, took IL up, examined it min
utcly, particularly the shoulder, wherc
there was small wound. Instinct
Immediately turned suspicion into GER

POETRY.
December.

She cometh like pale surprise
From the still cloisters of the skies:
Amystic faith within her eyes
And, at zone shrin es, off sad she plies
Her chilly beads with fingers thin;
While, like the dews from upper Gains,
To her rapt soul come yoiceess psalms,
Transforming with resistless charms,
The sorrows shrined within.
The heavens bring near their fields of gray,
Where walks tine moons pale wrath by day,
While crows fit patiently away
To foodless fields in mute array
Chill fields, where listless willows bide
By shrouded ponds; for all things wear
waiting look in earth and air.
A faith in something yet to bear
Redemption far and wide.
