A RESORT FOR SNAKEs.-Two gentle
men were out riding in the vicinity of
Wawayands station, on the N. Y. s. and
w. R., in Orange county. on Tuesday
of last week, when they suddenly came
upon number of snakes, estimated to
be at least twenty-five, alongside the
roadway. The snakes were of all sizes
and varieties, some of them being harm.
less garter and black snakes, while others
were poisonous copperheads and pilots
and they ranged in length all the way
from twelve inches to upwards of four
feet. The sight was such an unusual one
that the gentlemen stopped at the resi-
dence of farmer living in the vicinity
and inquired the cause of the congrega.
ton of the reptiles. The farmer stated
that near the locality where the snakes
were seen was an old, disused well which
a number of years ago had been filled up
with stones, and that it had since been
the Winter home of a vast number of
snakes. In the Fall of every year all the
snakes in the neighborhood for miles
around focked to the we'll and passed
the Winter in the crevices between che
stones, emerging again in the Spring after
their five months of Information. The
farmer also stated that in the early warm
Spring days the snakes were in the habit
of coming out to sun themselves, and on
these occasions he and others would re-
pair to the locality for the purpose of
killing them. On one day upwards of
one hundred were killed, while every
year at least that number were exter-
minated; but the tribe is so prolific that
there appears to be no decrease in their
numbers.

LIES LESSON.

o weary hearts that throb with bitter grief
And seem to keep time with the aching
brgii,
o tired eyes that nightly virgil keep,
And pale lips shutting back the PAIN
Remember other hearts are heavy, too:
Little we know the crosses others bear;
We hear a laugh and see happy smile,
And never dream they hide burning
tear.
The sad, sad story that our own lives tell,
Repeats itself in many human breast;
And in the impress tired faces wear,
We read their sorrows through their
smiles cOiiiessetl.
The sympathy we crave can come alone
From those whose feet have pressed tie
same rough way;
And so we learn the lesson -hard indeed
That darkest night may bring the bright
est day.

The eminent churchman gazed at his

was a wonderfully graphic and forcibly

Mrs. Symington's Bargain.

All women we are told have their
weaknesses, and Mrs. Stanhope Sym.
ington was a china maniac, as are most
people to some degree in this aesthetic
nineteenth century of the world. But
Mrs. Symipgton excelled in the matter.
She would prowl in secondhand stores,
penetrate into the csveinous recesses OF
tenement.hou drive long distances
into the country to old homesteads
where she had heard vague rumors con.
cerning "1aring blue" sold green
glaze" "butterHy yellow" and "genuine
old India wares" She would remorse-
lessly turn the choicest pieces of mod
ern bric-a-brac from her tables to make
way for spoutless tea-pots, cracked
bowls and noseless jugs. She crowded
her drawing. room with brackets, shelves
and cabinets for the accommodation Of
ancient plates, which she called
"plaques," and pitchers, which ehe re.
christened "vases."

with limp yellow-white hair, fiat nose
and colorless eyes like dim glass mar.

make his way through his own house
without breakage or misfortune.

upon one particular occasion, after he
had knocked a handleless cup from q

without severity, "would you retard
the progress OF modern civilization?

sents an era in decorative history"
SWELL. il won't represent it much

something very like vindictiveness in
his faded eyes.

pieces?"

his stable what he asked for him.

him for one hundred and fifty dollars"
The stranger took out from his side
pocket mysterious looking book and
put down the sum the man had men
toned.
"Do you want to buy that horse, my
friend ?" the stable-keeper asked.
"Oh, no." was the reply, Il don't
want to buy any horse; l am simply
