The Wisdom OF serpenss.

The increased number of snakes
since the rise in the river in the Vi
cinity of Burlington, Iowa, has been
a matter of general remark. Many
have bottled and Gagged the reptiles
for pets TO amuse their idle hours,
while others have captured the des-
picable crawlers and preserved them
in alcohol r. specimens in natural
history. Among the many startling
stories which have been rife during
the flood, none is more remarkable
than that told by man living near
Sagetown, Ill. The story runs that
he took a skiff and rowed over the
placid black water to witness the de
vastation of the hitherto promising
acres. Beneath could be seen the
green corn, the tassels Just peeping
from the step; the heading grain,
which but few days previous offer
ed a bounteous harvest, but now
stamped with total destruction,
stood mute monuments OF promises
unfulflled. Useless fences, which
told of the stock which few days
ago grazed on the green herbage,
were too far sunken below the sur
face to interfere with the progress Of
our skiff, which smoothly glided DER
the pampered rivers waters. Lost
in the despondent thoughts which
now engrossed the Farmers mind,
he was soon startled by the appear
ancc of a snake which swiftly glided
into his little boat. But his wonder
was increased 10 ama2ement when
snake after snake rapidly trailcd his
Shiny body into the skiff, and thus
they continued until the capacity of
the watery conveyance became in
sufficient to contain the Shiny rep
tiles and the dishcartcned farmer
without too close a proximity. The
predlcament was mOmentarlly IN
creasing with horror, but a moment
was given in which to choose death
by the yenomOus crccpers or death
in watcrv grave. He chose the
chances of the latter, and plunged
into the water Half-dead he was
found on the shore that afternoon,
where he had been waited, clinging
to a friendly board which he hap
pened to grasp when in the last
stage of drowning. The boat was
found drifting along a sluggish eur
rent, filled to the top with snakes,
which had gathered from the river.
Those which did not perceive the
danger of decapitation and dart
back into the water were taken to
shore and snpedilV disDatchcd

New Married Couples.

1t is the happiest and most virtu-
Gus state of society in which the hus-
band and wife set out together, and
with perfect sympathy Of soul, grad
uate all their expenses, plans, calcu
lations and desires with reference to
their present means and to their fu-
ture and common interest.
Nothing delights man more than
to enter the neat little tenement of
the young people who within per-
haps two or three years, withoutany
resources but their OWN knowledge
Of industry, have joined heart and
hand, and engaged to share together
the responsibilities, duties, interests,
trials and pleasures of life. The in
dustrious wife is cheerfullv employ
ing her hands in domestic duties,
putting her house in order or mend
ing her husbands clothes, or prepar-
ing dinner, while perhaps the little
darling sits prattling on the floor, or
lies sleeping in the cradle, and eve
rything seems preparing to welcome
the happiest of husbands and the
best of fathers when he shall come
home from his work to enjoy the
sweets of his little paradise.
This is true domestic pleasure.
Health, contentment, love, abund-
.ance and bright prospects are all
here But it has become a prevalent
sentiment that man must acquire
his fortune before he marries. that
the wife must have nosvmpathy nor
share with him in the pursuit of it
in which most of the pleasure tru-
ly consists, and the young married
people must set out with as large
and expensive an establishment as
rs becoming those who have been
married twenty years. This is very
unhappy; it fills the community
with bachelors, who are waiting to
make their fortunes, endangering
virtue, promoting vice; it DESTROYS
the true economy and design of the
domestic institution, and promotes
inetliciency among females, who are
expecting to be taken up by fortune
and passively sustained without any
care or concern on their part, and
thus many wife becomes, as a gen
tleman once remarked. not help
mate" but a ''helpbeat. Golden
Age.

Songsters of the Woods.

From the earl Y spring and through
the summer, lovers of nature may
enjoy delightful concert by stroll
ing through almost any woodland.
Just before the rising of the sun the
woodland warblers sing in their full
est and clearest notes, but then their
human auditors are very few. The
birds song seems to improve with
the advance of the season. They
seem to vie with each other in their
singing. Among the leaders in this
woodland choir is the familiar robin,
whose CHEEKY notes are recognized
everywhere. The blucjay, with its
feathers of changing hue and an or
namcntal tuft on its head, is also
conspicuous among the songsters.
The song of the brown thrasher Is a
wonderful performance, high, clear
and varied. The bird is of q beauti-
full brown color, with wings, tail and
head of a darker shade. The oriolc
is the most beautiful bird of our for
csts. 1t has a little bright spot on
its breast, running into a rich gold
color around the neck, the tail being
Glossy black. It's notes are clear and
melodious. The lark, although
denizen Of the meadows, visits the
edges of the woods, and is Il great
warbler. Its feathers are dark, ex-
cepting at the breast, where they are
of bright orange color Its volume
of song is greater when perched up
on some slender branch, where it
swings gently with the breeze. The
most industrious little singer is the
wren, which continually pours forth
the funniest olio of notes imaginable.
4 pleasant Introductory concert may
be heard in the fields on the way to
the woods. The bobolink greets the
morn as he flies from one tuft of
grass to another with a tinklingchain
of music The catbird keeps crying
to the alders close by, Il ca-a-nt,"
while the quail persistently calls for

a party said to number
two hundred, again attacked the

followed. ending in the breaking up

but they dispersed so rapidly that
the facts could not be gathered. No

Lightning and Trees

Professor Collandon, OF Geneva,
has made some interesting observa-
tions on the course Of lightning
when it strikes trees and houses. He
holds that the great discharges which
injure trees and houses seldom or
never happen while the lightning
has an mobstructed course-which
it has along the upper branches of
trees. where birds and their nests
are often left quite undisturbed in
IL decent. But it is where the cleo
trio current reaches the thick stem
that the tree becomes a worse and
worse conductor, and it is here.
therefore, that the tree is what is
called struck. e. here that the
electricity, fails to have an unob-
structed channels to the earth, accu-
mulates in masses, and gives out
shocks that rendS the tree. And the
same is true OF houses whose light
ning-conductors stop short of the
ground. Professor Collondon has
also shown that the close neighbor-
hood of a pool of water is great
attraction to the electric current,
and that the electricity often passes
down a house or till it is near
enough to dart straight across to the
water: and he thinks that where
possible, Neutrality-suspicious. should
end in a spring or pool of water. The
Professor believes that lightning de-
scends rather in a shower-through
multitude of vines, for instance,
in q yinyard-than in single main
stream. 1t divides itself among all
the upper branches Of tree, and is
received from hundreds of atmos-
pheric points at once, instead of, as
has been usually supposed, from
one. Electricity is a rain, a number
of tributaries from a wide sourcs {:
not a single torrent.
