The Cherokee Georgian tells this: A
young man named Penny, while out hunt
ing his steers, barefoot, the other day,
stepped on the head of large rattlesnake,
He had his heel on the snakes head, and
being afraid to move, did not know what to
do for some time, while the hideous thing
was writhing and squirming and vigorously
lasling the youths legs. Penny was badly
frightened, but recovered presence of mind
sufficient to take out his knife and reach
down and cut off the snakes head

Several weeks ago very valuable horse

County, KY, was sunstruck, and ever since
has been crazy. Mr.. Oakley found it i'm
possible to keep the animal confined, so last
Saturday it was turned into lot near by,
where there was very large pond, the cen

The horse made complete circuit of the
pond twice, and then waded out as far as it
could, without swimming, and put an end
to its suffering by drowning

The LOST WIG.-While Lord Goals
toun lived in a house in the Advocate $
Close, Ednburgh,a strange accident befell
him. 1t was at that time the custom for
advocates and Judges to dress themselves
is gowns, wigs and cravats, at their own
houses. and walk to the Parliament House
They usually breakfasted early, and, when
dressed. were in the habit of leaning over
their parlor windows for few minutes,
before st. Giles bell started the sounding
peal of a quarter of nine, enjoying the
agreeable morning air, and perhaps dis
cussing the news of the day. 1t SO hap
pened one morning. while Lord Coalstoun
was preparing to enjoy his matutinal treat,
two girls, who lived in the second flat
above, were amusing themselves with a
kitten, which in thoughtless sport, they
had swung over the window, by Il cord
tied round its middle, and hoisted it for
some time up and down. till the creature
was getting rather desperate with its eX-
ertions. His lordship had just popped his
head out of the window directly below that
from which the kitten swung, little sus
impended, like the sword of Damocles,
over us uSdu, anu uOWu Ctule TIE eAtS pc
rated animal at full career directly upon
his senatorial wig. No sooner did the
girls perceive what sort of landing place
their kitten had fonnd than in terror or
surprise they began to draw it up; but
this mesure was now to late, for along
with the animal, up also came the judges
wig fixed full in its determined talons
His lordship's surprise, on finding his wig
lifted off his head, was ten thousand times
redoubled, when on looking up, he per-
ceived it dangling on its way upwards.
without any means visible to him by which
its motion might be accounted for. The
the dread, the awe almost,
of the senator below-the half mirth, half
terror Of the girls above--together with
the fierce and retentive energy Of puSs
between-altogetber formed scene To
which language cannot do justice, but
which Gearge Cruikshank might perhaps
have embodied with considerable effect.
1t W IS a jrke soon explained and parJoned
but assuredly the perpetrators of it got
many heightened injunction from their
parents never again to fish over the win
dow with such bait for honest mems
wigs.

A WIFE's SAGACITY.-Solomon did no

The wise kings words were recalled bv
reading an anecdote of how wife once
saved her husband from being ruined by Il
panic. She was the wife of Robert Peel
who was among the first to establish in
England cotton printing works on a large
scale.
One Saturday night, when Mr.. Peel
was away from home, news came of the
failure of a large house in the trade
There was panic, and "A run was feared
on the bank, with which Mr.. Peel was
largely connected, as soon as it opened its
doors on Monday.
Sunday morning Mrs. Peel came down
to breakfast dressed in her best suit. See
ing her daughter less handsomely attired,
she bade her go up stairs and put on her
best clothes. Look as blithe rs you cam
she said, " for. depend upon it, if tie folks

"Oh, bless your' remarked some of
the humber female neighbors, "they are
as safe as the church! Just look Mt those
gowns and their smiling faces What do

There was no run on the bank the next
morning The sagacions wife had pre-
vented the spread of the panic. She was

A DIPLOMATIC ANSWER The old man
Smith of Ricltjeld is a self sufficient sort
of old fellows. and priies himself upon
his riding abilities. One day he espied
his young hopeful leading u colt to water
rather gingerly. and remarked
Why OF earth don't you ride that
beast9
I'm 'fraid to; 'fraid he'll throw me.
Bring the horse here, snapped the old
man.
The colt was urged up to the fence, and
braced on one side by the boy while The
old man climbed on to the rails and stock
ed himself on the colts back. Then he
was let go, and the old gentlemen rode
proudly off. Paralyzed by fear, the colt
went slowly for about 20 rods without a
demonstration. Then like lightning his
four legs punched together, his back bow
ed like viaduct arch, and the old man
shot up in the air, turned several seperate
and distinct somersaults and lit on the
small of his back in the middle of the
road with both legs twisted around his
neck. fastening to him the young hope
full anxiously inquired:
Did it hurt you, pa?
The old man rose slowly, shook out the
knots in his legs, brushed the dust from
his ears and hair, and rubbing his bruised
elbows, growled;

The HEsSIANS AND FARMING IN HESSE.
Farming in Germany may be profitable
hut it is not pretty. The cows. from 80 to
60 in number, all live in one large stable
to the right of the great gateway. Each
COW has her own stall and manger, and
receives bountitul portion of food and
water; but there size stays all her life,
! never knowing the sweets Of freshly
cropped grass. nor the freedom of the
sunny meadow The very pigs live in
close confinement, and seldom get the
chance Of exercise; while the sheep are
taken out every morning between 8 and 8,
are marched back at nightfal, and locked
up in their stable. Now and then, when
harvest is over, they are allowed to spend
II few nights in the fields, where curious
wooden erection, looking like gay, coffin
on wheels, serves as bed for the shep-
herd, who never leaves them to them
selves. In winter their daily exercise is
curtailed, and, when the cold is intense,
ceases altogether. The farm servants live
in the stabes-that is, one man sleeps in
each stable, with the horses cows, and
sheep. Wages are moderate compared TO
other parts OF Germany-very moderate
compared to those in England-and the
men all receive their board at the farm.
Those who have families in the village
are allowed to carry their portion away
with them if they like. The Hessians are
not Az interesting people-rough, hard
featured, with keen eye to their own
interests, very hazy idea about their
neighbors, rights or property, fatal
penchant for spurious liquors, and strong
desire to fight with everybody when they
are not sober. Pitched battles between
husbands and wives, mothers and sons,
are not unfrequent; and it is well when
they use only the weapons with which
nature has provided them. for scythes and
reaping hooks are sometimes snatched up
in family disputes. Among Germans they
have the reputation of being stupid and
obstinate. Our English annals have had
many opportunities of testifying to their
bravery; and they were loyal to their
Prince, as long as they had one, and still
speak kindly of the last one, who, if he
did little for them, let them alone, and
neither worried them by interference in
their domestic concerns nor extended
many taxes. Now King Stork has sue
ceeded King Log; taxes are trebled. quad
rupled; old laws, evil and religious, swept
away; vexatious new ones introduced. and
grumblings are proportionately bitter.
Emigration has gone on for generations: /:
there are few families which have not
some near relatives in America, usually in
far superior position to those at home. l
am inclined to think that the energetic
and adventurous spirits have left their
a atherland, and that only the dull and

A VERMONT CENTENARTAN-A FAMILY
EXTRAORDINARY FOR LONGEVITY. The
cath Of Mrs. Phoebe Haley, which oc-
'urred recently at North Powual, and
which has been referred to in this paper,
nded marvellously long life. She was
'orn in Pownal, June 81, IVA, and conse-
luently reached the one hundred and fifth
ear OF her existence. All those years she
las lived in the one town, county and
tate. Her maiden name was Cummings.
Vt the age of sixteen. in the year 1890, she
'rofrssed religion. united with the Metho-
'ist Episcopal church, and has ever since
emained steadfast member of that de-
nomination. At the time she became
ientitied with the church, rs will be read
ly imagined. the society was in a very
rude condition in the Green Mountain
'tate. When seventeen years old she
married Benjamin Haley. 1t is also singu-
ar that both should have endured so re-
narkably long, and neither in such an
exceptionally long life, married again
The husband died only fourteen years ago,
md was upwards of ninety years old.
This presents the phenomenon of an I'M
broken married ompanionship extending
ver seventy-three years. and almost
reaching three quarters of century. Mr..
Haley seems to have been physical

addicted to drinking since youth, and was
accustomed to indulging in all sorts Of

Nelson and Thomas. Nearly all the bows

likely to attain great age, and three have
already passed four score. Thus it will be
seen that Mrs. Haley's domestic life must
have been replete with vexations and
tribulations. while trudging along with
diSsoiute husband and a batch of almost a
dozen unruly boys. Despite all that, she
succeeded in retaining her faculties 10 an
astonishing degree, SO to the last she could
thread II fine needle without glasses, and
her hearing was not at all impaired. Her
face was plump, without any signs of
wrinkles thereon. Many of her grand
children looked older than she did at her
one hundred and fifth birthday. The

that enabled them to attain old age, but
their brain power appears to have been alb
sorbed by toughened muscles. This will
account for the death of the mother in the
county almshouse, because when her old
age compelled reliance on others. of all
the ten living children none were capable
of offering her home, and she was forced
on the populace. Some of the children
live at Pownal now, others in North

MOTHERS AND Sons Fathers must be
content to ,trnd second to mothers. 1t is
he mother who has to teach the babe TO
know the father and slowly to frame its
unused red lips to speak his name. The
father is the first stranger the child grows
familiar with, but the mother never was

eyes by tiXedly gtzing on her face. There
is no face in all the world which man
ever knows 50 weIl-not even hers with
whom. at a far later day. he stands before
the altar, and thencef rth shares his
name. The gentle sadness of this theme
only comes fully out when you remember
that in the course of things, time arrives
when that most familiar of countenances
is seen un Ter a change. Mothers grow
aged, it may he infirm, while sons pro-
gressiveIy tower up into their prime of
life. Thin the early i,ude of The closest

She who in the first leriod gave all help,
has now to lean on the grown figure
which she once lightly dlndled rs a child,

days. God has given to men no sweeter,
dearer, richer feeling than Il grown son
has when repaying to an aged mother a

lavished upon him.
