triumph. But heavens vengeance Was more

Among the tule-one directly in front OF
the doomed wretch, the other AT his side
were uprearcd the frlghtful heads OF two of
the most deadly serpents known on the Ia
citic coast, sort of mocCasin snake, com.

snakes always go in pairs ana their bite is as
deadly rs that of the cobra de capello. Al

piercing shrieks of terror His voice seemed
to excite and enragc the venOm0uS reptiles.
They Kissed, and waved their heads to and

blow with his naked left hand at the one be-

into his wrist. AT the same moment the other
snake at his side struck It's envemoned bite

shattered right arm to ward oil the bow.
Again and again this second snake plunged
its fangs into his flesh, while he hOwled and
shrieked in the madness of his despair aud
physical agony. He seized the one which
had first bitten him, as il twned and dashed
about his arm and literally tore it in pieces
with his teeth. Then the other reptile gided
away.
Deaths hand was already upon his heart.
The men upon the bank, witnesses OF the hor-

inevitable end now drawing nigh. Antonio'S
features sweled frighttuly. He rayed IN de.

for mercy. In his lucid moments he begged
them to Shoot him and put stop to his mex
pressible torture. His struggles but caused
him to sink deeper in the mire. Finally,
when only his head was above the murky
surface, his voice ceased, and only then did
his pursucrs turn their horses heads away,
leaving him in the grave he had found in the
tule swamp.

Let Us go up to church tonight,
Have Ben and Nance come down,
They expect the model minister,
He is ON his way to town.
They say he makes the way so smooth
We never car mistake,
When once he points it ont to u,
II wen tut undertake.
I've wanted long to hear man,
For have lived in Doubt,
To open up Il broader way,
Where one could turu about,
Well will 20, and Nance and Ben
think will both turn cut;
And II there is another way,
We all may find it out.
The sun went down, the bell was rUn@,
The people gathered in,
To hear stranger tell them how
To cover up their sin.
The hour arrived, the choir struck up
The loyeliest kind of an air;
And when they flushed up their work
They all arose for prayer.
He took his text, and spakc OF Paul.
And Of his Christian zeal;
He tried to move upon our hearts,
But then they wouldn't feel.
Yau see he tried to make believe
That liberal hearts that give,
Is better than childlike faith
That trusts In Christ to live.
listened all the evening through;
He told how good we are,
And seemed To trust in human works
Much more than faith aud PRAYER,
So going home with Nance that night
We talked of what he said,
And came to the conclusion
To follow Christian heads.
And now We take the good old way,
The Cross by Faith and Prayer;
And If your lucky in goods works,
He'll surely find us there.

WHAT MAKES A MAN?

A truthful soul, loving mind,
Full OF affection for its kind;
A spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bends knee
That Will not bear feathers weight
or savery's chain for small or great
That truly speaks from God within;
That never makes league with sin:
That snaps the letters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God and Him alone,
And bows no more than at his throne;
And trembles at no tyrancs nod;
\ soul that fears no one but God
And thus can smile at curse or ban
This is the soul that makes man.
WHAT MAKES woMAS'
Not courtly dress nor Queenly air;
Not jewcled hand, complexion fair;
Not graceful form nor lofty tread
Not paint, nor curls, nor splendid head;
Not pearly teeth, nor sparkling eyes;
Not voice that nightingale outves;
Not breath as sweet as eglantlne;
Not gaudy gems, nor fabrics fine;
Not all the stores of fashions mart,
Not yet Establishments Of art;
Not one, nor all of these combined,
Can make one woman true, refined.
IT'S not the casket that we piiZe,
But that which in the casket lies!
These outward charms which please the si4
Are naught unless the heart is right.
