An Exchange of Bites.

Some Glastonbury parties recently cap
tured couple ofrattle snakes-a large one
and small one-and brought them in a
box to town to exhibit The larger snake
was about three feet long and eight or ten
years old, Last Sunday at the town of
Glastonbury, while number of people
were looking at the reptiles, man nam
ed Grover, a butcher. came along, and an
nouncing that this kind of cattle didn't
scare him bit, he took the big snake out
of the box. Holding it around the neck,
he performed a number of dare devil tricks
with it, and at length actually put its head
into his mouth. Then, getting holder, he
announced that instead of the snake bit
ing him, he'd bite the snake, and he made
a pass toward it and planted his teeth on
the snakes throat. But in doing lit he
brushed his cheek close to the creatures
mouth, and in an instant, like flash, it
drove its fangs into his cheek The blood
spirited out in needle-like stream, and
the fun was over. The spectators at once
lit by good luck being at hand produced
an abundance of gin, and stuffed the man
full Of it. DIR. Stacking was sent for, and
ordered continuance of the treatment.
Against all protest the patient was delug-
ed with liquor, and by Monday he had so
far recovered as to be up and around. On
Tuesday he was at work again as usual.
He will probably not bite ''that kind of
cattle" as he called, it any more.

"You had that lesson to learn then,

mair wise elders"
So Roberts visit was a great success
and the old man shed the last tears he
ever shed on earth when he bid the chill
dren goodbye.
'You take care O. wee Davie for my
sake; Robin" he said, tenderly, holding
the lad proudly by the hand, "for when
I'm no longer to the fore, you'll let my
name standi' the firm, till he's ready to
take my place? so then the hundred
thousand will aye be in David Speers

And to-day the house grows and pros

Goats for Milk.

The Toronto Globe says there seems to
be setting in fashion to keep goats for
their milkin that section, and comments
upon it after this humorous style. In re-
lation to keeping goats it says:
Why not? These sweet-scented ami
mails have a decided advantage over the
cow-kind. They are better foragers and
cost little or nothing to keep. An ordi-
nary garden-fence is nothing to an enter
prising member of the Capra family, and
they are not at all particular in their
choice Of tender plants. When young
herbs or early lettuce fail, there are many
varieties Of flowers and garden plants
that serve for a meal; and when shut off
from this delicate diet, a clean-washed
Sunday shirt can be disposed of with con-
siderable relish. And then their literary
appetites are amazing. They will dis
cuss the merits of the largest morning
newspaper in two minutes by Shrewsbury
clock, and digest it, too, for that matter.
They are also remarkably playful. and
take especial delight in butting children
for pastime; but their browning glory is
the delicious odor they exhale. Lubin's
choicest extracts are nothing to it, for
when goat is within forty yards of the
house, one fancies himself wandering in
the groves of Araby. BY all means cult
vate the goat.

A War Incident.

In one of the terrible battles in Vir-
ginia Union officer fell wounded in front
of the Confederate breast-works, and
while he was lying on the ground and
crying piteously for water, James Moore,
of Burke county, N. c., Confederate
soldier, leaped over the Notifications, can
teen in hand, and crawling up to the poor
fellow gave him drink The wounded
man took out his gold watch and offered
it to his benefactor, but it was refused.
He then asked for the Confederate SOL
dier's name and the two men parted.
Moore subsequently lost limb in one of
the Virginia battles and returned a Grip
pie to his home. The Raleigh Neus now
tells the sequel to this strange adventure.
A few days ago Moore received from tho
union soldier to whom he had given the
cup of water letter announcing that the
sum of 100000 would be paid to him in
four annual installments.

Scent in Dogs.

A writer in Chambers Journal tells a
very interesting story of how dog in In
Ola found his way home through the aid
Of keen scent:
Many years ago, when in India, I had
| hound of kind Of cross breed, which
in India is known as the Polygad. These
dogs are unsuited for coursing, but make
splendid companions for long and rapid
journeys on horseback, being able to 20
great distances without fatigue, and car
ing little for heat. Phakree, (beautifuD
for such was her name, had been nv COM
panion for years, and during the time was
seldom out of my sight When she had
| become old and unable to keep pace with
me in my gallops, parted with her to a
friend whom she seemed to take great
fancy to, and who then resided on the
Mahableshwur Hills. My own station,
Poonah, lay about eighty miles east of
Mahableshwur, and is separated from the
hills by three ranges Of lofty mountains,
which, in those days were covered with
dense jungle. On the day of my depar-
ture I cautioned my friend to keep Pha-
kree securely chained for some days so that
she might not follow me- On this occa-
sion-for I had been on the journey once
or twice before-I left the main road and
selected an unfrequented bridal path for
my route, in order that 1 might enjoy the
beautiful mountain scenery through which
it led.
had reached Poonah, and had been
there several days, living in my tent, when
one night was reused by the bowling of
a dog under my bedstead. I struck a
light, when, to my astonishment, there
was Phakree, with collar round her neck,
and few links Of chain hanging to it.
A letter received the next morning, gave
me to know that she had broken loose
and run away, and that, although he had
made every search for her, she was no.
where to be found. He re- GREETED that we
should never see her again. She had been
four days on her journey; and her fam
ished condition, and the numerous wounds
she had on her, showed the privation she
had undergone, and the treatment she
had received from the dogs of the differ
ent villages through which she had pass
ed. The poor creature had no doubt
scented me the whole distance, for had
she followed or accompanied any one, she
would have been cared for. We never
parted again.

mcnt, as she said, innoccntly: "Why,
who would have been married?"

Hull, dS BIZ Salu, lnnOccnLly: why,
who would have been married?"
You and he, perhaps" I vcnturcd.
She turned as pale as ashes; her lips
quivcrcd, she cried out passionately ::
You are cruel ~ and almost ran from
the room.
What was 1 to infer from this? The
glance, the tone had struck me as being,
to say the least, very peculiar. Good
heavens! could it have been that all the
time she loved me? My brain throbbed {:
my guilty soul swayed between tumults
of delight and terror. If so, dared
marry her in my blood guiltiness2
Yes, dared do any deed now: 1 dared
and would.
Alice became my wife, but horror hung
around me. I could take pleasure in
nothing, I surrounded her with luxuries
and called her my queen. She was an
idol; | worshipped her. One day she
said:
"Why do we not hear from Fred?'
My heart stood still, but I yentured
some non-committal reply.
"Did he ever ask your advice about any,
thing in PARTICULAR" she inquired with
smile.
No." I replied with my old fierce
ness: "Why do you ask such a ques-
tion?"
ooh, Harry!'' she said, reprovinsly,
you carried your prejudice too far-I
know she must have been lovely girl by
his description
Before, [ was hot; now I grew lev.
"By his description! lovely girl! what
do you mean?" asked, in wild astonish
mcnt.
"Why! you knew he loved one of the
Edgemonts, didn't you? He said the
father once did you an injustice and you
never forgave him. He being dependent
on you in some way for assistance, did
not like to marry her without your con-
sent, and yet he had the strangest fear
about it! I never saw brother so''-
her words changed to shrieks. I had
fallen apparently dead at her feet!
made awful revelations in the sickness
that followed. When I came to myself,
| thought saw my brother continually
beside me. / besought the vision to
leave me. Human tones answered dit
was Fred, kind, generous, forgiving, who
bent above his guilty brother. When he
told me how he had been sheltered bv a
friendly tree, whose swaying branches
caught and held him; how after his
strength came, he had dropped and swan
ashore, and to spare and punish me, had
returned quietly to his far off home, I
wept aloud. On the bliss of seeing him
there? When was we'll, they brought
