playing, you were asleep,--you were
really deaming. Did you dream how
many times the dress had been torn this
week z"
"Oh! 1 got tore all to pieces myself; oh
it was too frightful," exclaimed Mary in
breatLless excitement.
'Let US hear it then"
Mary sat down beside her mother and
told her wish, and how it seemed as if the
wish were granted, and how she had been
taught what birds life must be.
When she had flushed relating her
trials, her mother said:
"My dear child, let this make you realize
that God has placed every creature where
he can be the ost useful and consequently
the most happy, for duty conscieutiously
performed gives a sense of serenity which,
if not happiness, is SO nearly allied to it
as scarcely to be distinguished from it. If
you will, you can really be as happy'as
the birds seem to be, so L hope you VIII
never repine again."
"Mother, promise / will really try till
am W hat you wish me to be-
Mary from that day applied herself to
correct her principal faults, which were
procrastination and laziness. My little
readers must not think she did it in day or
| a week but by constant perseverance she
became all her mother wished her to be.
When she has any work to do, she goes
Immediately at it and does it. When
there is book lying on divan she puts
it in it's place; and when flowers have fall
len from careless hands, as some of their
most enthusiastic admirers will often gather
to destroy, she gathers the fragments and
removes them. Thus in every place, and
especially about her dress and person, she
remem bers the chorus that admonished
her about wings and throats. Her friends,
when looking at the fair young girl that is
growing to be her mothers sweet and
charming comforter, say often-"For neat
ness, energy, and good temper, who is the
equal of Mary Mason7"

SELF REL1ANcE.-There is nothing
more likely to result in the successful ca
reer of q young man than confident self
reliance. 1t is astonishing how much
more a youth will accomplish who relics
upon himself, than one who depends upon
others for assistance. Having first ascer-
tanned the direction in, and the means oy
which his object is to be reached, let him
put his whole energies to work, and With
unfagging industry press forward. ane
Young man who, instead of rising at i've,
sleeps till seven or eight, and who SPENDS
his evenings on the corners, or in the com
paniopship of those who are wanting IN
iaudable ambition, rarely ever wins pos
! ;tion of honor or achieves a reputation
above that enjoyed by the common
masses. In country like ours, where
the avenues to honor and wealth are open
alike to all, there is no reasonable excuse
that can be offered for mans failure &c
achieve one or the other, or both. III

keen him down, but these are the eXcep-
tions that establish the rule. Few men
know of how much they are capable unit
thew have first thoroughly tested theli
abilities The amount of LABOR, literary
or mechanical, which person IN vigorous
health can perform, is almost wlthoo'
limit. if systematic method is adopted,
and the proper spirit melted to the Ell )rt'
An hour of each evening spent with som {

of useful science, will in the course OF
few years give to young man VINO tnus

RATTLEsNAKEs.-The rattlespake finds
superior foe in the deer and black snake.
Whenever a buck discovers a rastlesnake
in a situation which Invites attack, he loses
no time in preparing for battle. He makes
up within ten or twelve feet Of the snake,
then leaps forward and aims 70 sever the
body of the snake with his sharp bifurcated
hoofs. The first onset is most com monty
successful, but if otherwise, the buck re-
peats the trial until he cats the snake in
twain. The black snake is also more than
an equal competitor against the rattlesnake.
Such is its celebrity, both in running and
entwining itself around its victim, that the
rattlesnake has no way of escaping from
it's fatal mbrace. When the black and the
rattlesnake are about to meet for battle, the
former darts forward at the height of its
speed, and strikes at the back of the neck
of the latter with unerring certainty, Ieav
ing foot or two of the upper part of the
body at liberty. In an instant he encir-
cles him within five or six folds; he then
stops and looks the strangled foe in the face
to ascertain the effect produced upon his
corseted body. If he shows signs of life,
the coils are multiplied and the screws
frightened, the operator all the while
watching the countepance of the victim.
| Thus the two remain thirty or forty min
utes the executiurer then slackens one
coil, noticing at the same time whether
any signs of life appear; if so, the col
| is resumed and retained until the lncar
cerated wretch is completely dead. The
mocasin snake is killed in the same way.

Newspapers are beginning to be appre-

than cedar chests for keeping wooden

better. Whip the coats, shawls, etc,
