A snake story.

Speaking of snakes now, the maj
or who went TO see a friend, the
owner of a cattle ranch in Brazil, is
man the who really saw them. The
major rode out with his friend
Brown to the corral and heard him
ask one of the men "if any of those
Durham yearlings had come in yet?''
"Here's one coming in now" said
the man and to the majors horror
he saw an immense boa-cOn-StrictOr
crawling towards them. He was
for making tracks, but Brown said
Hold on Max, that's my retriever
The major waited until the monster
reptile crawled into the corral and
quietly rolled over on its back, look
ing uncommon poddy. One of the
men went up to it and unbOtt0ned a
slit in its belly, when out jumped
as lively Durham yearling as ever
was. The slit was buttOned up, the
constructor patted on the head, and
away it went again, and pretty
soon brought in another yearling /;
and while they waited there it
brought in no less than -ty-
seven. Brown said his father-in-law
lost no end of yearlings by beacon
strictOrs every year, and thought
the world of him BROWN, since he
had trained that one as d retriever.
This story may be relied on at any
time, if anyone knows how.

THE OLD EDITION.

II 3 only plain old Bible,
But lay IL away With care.
For my mother used TO read it.
Each verse so sweet with prayer
Your new one may be more perfect,
Revised by learned OF the age,
Bnt give me my hallowed treasure,
With the self-same words on each page
That in childhoOd's hours fell sweetly
Upon my listening ear,
OF God and his WOndrOus mercy
Through many a weary year
It has stood the test of tbs scOffer.
And where is the heart to-day
That viii turn TO the new edition
And Danish the old away.
Why, the prayer that my mother taught IL.
III change in the words was made,
'Twould jar on the rythm of memory,
And its mighty power would fade
You may turn IN your search for knOWledg
And say that the new is best
For me, I can only wonder
That man should have made this test
So give me my plain old Bible,
That read when I was child,
IT'S the one that my mother treasured,
And never was saint more mild.
1 cannot turn from its verses,
To words that are cold, eStranged
No, give me my grand old Bible,
With never a letter changed.
