A MAN VINO WHILE ASLEEP WAS BITTEN BY A
RATTLKsNAkB.--One OF the Saddest sights We
ever saw was that OF a man, aged about fifty
nVe years, W no stopped at the Kendall house, In
evergreen, last SaturG ay night. on the l0tn
day or last August, about noon, While herding
cattle On the Texas plains he fell asleep and.
While in this condition. he was bitten on the
LETT ann, just above the wrist. by a rattlesnake
lie was at the time great way from any town
or village, and by the time he reached q phys.-
clan the poison had permeated his entire sys-
lem. From that very moment he began 60 die
and to look at him you can at once see that
upon him the King OF TerrorS' has already set
his seal aud has only granted him a respite for
while, but the days OF that respite are full OF
torture, and no doubt the poor, unhappy victim
longs for the end TO come. Last Saturday Night
he was suffering fndescribabie torture. In MS
agony he called upon the great God and upon
feeble man 10 give him relief but not moment
was he free from pain that was SO terrible that
language cannot describe ft. His body Is now
1ull OF the most lOathSome ScabS from which
the poison continues to eXude. His death is
only aqueatlon OF time. and when. it does come
II will be to him happy radiance from suffer-

Her picture smiles at me. a-s +, et
For the night its fight has taken,
And from visions pure waken,
While my heart with zeal mistaken,
Greets the face it loves to see.
Then | think of that sweet story,
Told by prophets sage and hoary,
How the angels in their glory,
Watched DER the Christians bed.
And tits com forting reflection
That through Heavenly affection,
We are blessed with saints protection,
Keeping vigils DER our head.
Yet, without .profane detraction,
Her bright face has more attraction
Than pale, sad-browed abstraction,
Ora doye-eyed nimbussed saint;
Th ,ugh of earth we're not all earthly,
Yet true love will even stir the a.5
Prudent pulses Of the worthy,
Spite of sour ascetic's plant. ~
So strive with fond endeavor,

The imprisoned soul that never
Leaves her brown translucent eyes;
And should l fail, no harsh resentment
Shall destroy my full contentment
With the counterfeit presentment
That my eyes so dearly prize.
As my heart makes its decision

A brief glimpse of joys elysian
That, VITA her love, were mine
And DO sense of incompleteness

For all is light and sweetness

A MODEL ToAD.--My paper weight

A MODEL ToAD.--My paper weight
IS considered a great curiosity. A
sskillful mechanic, 1: moulder, iu
working over his sand on a bitterly
cold morning, found what he thought
to be dead toad. AS be was to
cast that day, he thought it would
be an excellent model, and more per-
feet than any pattern maker could
furnish. sHe carefully packed the
toad in his nould, working the sand
arouad carefully, 50 as not to hurt
1t, and then, taking his unique model
out, be put it in a warm place, and it
was soon hopping about, and became
a great pet with the workmen. Ny
paper weight is a perfect toad; the
