A Dreadful Worm.

Who has not heard of the ratllcsnakc
or copperhead? An unexpected sight of
either OF these reptiles will make even
the lords of creation recoil. But there
is species of worm found in various
parts of this land, which CONVEYS a poi-
son ofa nature so deadly that when com
pared with the venom of the rattlesnake
is harmless. To guard our readers
against this foe of human kind is the
object OF the present communication
This worm varies much in size. 1t is
frequently an inch through; but as il is
rarely seen except when coied, its
length can hardly be coniectured. 1t is
of dull lead color, and generally lives
near spring, or small stream of wa
rand bites the unfortunate people who
are in the habit of going there to drink.
The brute creation it never molests,
They avoid it with the same instinct
that teaches the animals of Peru TO shun
the deadly Cova when it waylays their
pathway. The symptoms of it's bite are
terrible. The eyes of the patient be-
come red and fiery, his tongue Is swol-
len to an immoderate size, aud OBJ
struct his utterance, and delirium OF the
most horrid character quickly follows.
Sometimes, in his madness, he attempts
the destruction of his dearest friends.
If the sufferer has family, his weep
ing wife and helpless infants are not
unfrequently the objects of his frantic
fury. Such is the spell in which his
senses are bound, that no sooner is he
recovered from the paroxysm of insapi-
ty occasioned by one bite, than he seeks
out his destroyer to be bitten again. |
have seen good old father, his locks
as white as snow, his steps slow and
trembling, beg in vain of his only SON
TO quit the lurking place of the worm.
My heart bled when he turned away,
for knew the hope SO fondly cherished
that his son would be to him the staff
and support of his declining years, had
supported him through many sorrow.
