The Reason Snakes Are Long.

"Do you see that fellow up there ?"
said Mr.. Rivers, pointing to a huge red
snake, some ten feet long and two
inches thick, of the kind known as the
gopher snake.
"I'd rather have that fellow on my
farm--if / had farm-than $40. You
would be astonished at the amount of

squirrel-long tail and all-without
making any bones about it. He COM
menced at the head and slowly drew
the squirrel in bit by bit, his teeth and
jaws working on the animal somewhat
as man draws in a rope hand over
hand. Finally the body was safely
housed and then only the tail remained,
that slipped down in the twinkling of
an eye.

snakes were made so long-it is to
make room for the inconvenient tails of
the other animals predestined to be
snake meat. In an improved state of
existence, when the tails have been
evolutionized off the backs of the other
animals, probably snakes will be cut
shorter. ."-iSda Francisco Call.

When grief was short and Joy was long,

To my hearts voice listened, listened,
When gathering clouds o'ercast the sky,

John BrIght and Queer victoria.

Long before he enjoyed the remotest
prospect of office-at a time when Lord
Palmerston, who not only disliked but
despised him, seemed to have been
chosen dictator for life, Mr.. Bright
came forward in a very handsome man
ner to defend the queen. Her majesty
seemed to London tradesmen to be un-
duly prolonging the period of her
mourning for Prince Albert; and the
Tribune, as he was beginning to be
called, pleaded her cause with simple
and pathetic eloquence. The queen
was deeply touched, and let Mr.. Bright
know it. Some years after there was q
happy exchange of courtesies between
them. The member from Birmingham
was at length a rDinister and had to re.
pair to Windsor, where he was to kneel
before the sovereign, kiss her hand and
receive his portfolio. Her majesty, with
her usual thoughtfulness, informed the
premier that his Quaker colleague need
not trouble himself TO kneel or perform
any other ceremony abhorrent to his
conscience. Further, he might present
himself in whatsoever costume pleased
him best. Mr. Bright consi deredhim-
self bound TO meet the queen half way.
He did not kneel, but he bowed very
low; he touched the royal hand with
veneration, while his dress presented a
remarkable combination of essentially
conflicting designs. 1t was Well de-
scribed as that which in truth it was
a Quaker's court suit The sword, as
may be imagined, Mr.. Bright has
steadily declined to Tear.-S10iSs Conti'

The Queen and the Doctors.

By the unwritleE yet immutable laws
of the Spanish cccy3 no one but Span
ish physician can attend the queen of
Spain. When the illness of Queen Mer-
cedes became desperate her doctors
called in their German colleague in
consultation, but told him that he must
prescribe for Donna Mercedes without
seeing her on their report of the symp-
toms and conditions only. DIR. Kisbert
declared that it was essential for him
to examine the patient before he could
indicate what remedies would be eflica-
cious. This, however, could on no ac-
count be permitted. He then sug-
gested that he might be allowed to see
her through some open door or window
without approaching her or even enter
ing the sick room. That concession,
too, was refused. "Then, gentlemen,
1 can do nothing" was the reply. 81
am willing TO prescribe, but can hardly
do 80 with good effect without person
ally inspecting the patient" He wrote
a prescription and then left the palace.
Three days later the fair young queen
was doad, but the laws of Spanish court
etiquette remained intact.

A Great Man.

"A UrtaJ MAN.
That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves greatness not his owns
For neither praise nor pelf;
Content to know and be unknown,
Whole in himself. .sa
Strong is that man, he only strongs
To whose well-ordered will belong,
For service and delight,
All powers that in face of Wrong
Establish Right.
And free is he, and only free,
Who, from the tyrant passions free,
By fortune undismayed,
Hath power upon himself to be
He himself obeyed.
If such man there be, where'er
Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He cannot fare amiss
Great Nature hath him in her care,
Her cause is his.

Rrnka I'm in a Raw.

Nv Simonin, warm advocate OF
American institutions, recently gave
lecture before the Geographical society
of Paris, in which he dwelt on the
startling growth of the population Of
the United States. In three centuries,
he said, if the present rate of progress
was maintained, the United States
would have 1900 900, 900 of people.
At this statement some one in the au-
dience. protested, and sneered at the
American nation as a mushroom, which
was soon likely to decay. Others dis
puted the accuracy. of his assertions
about the actual growth of the popu'
lation. "Wait," said third, until we
get Africa opened-and Africa will be
opened-then the emigration of Eu-
rope will be all directed thither, and
America will see her numbers
diminishW "The colonization of the
African continent is dream; it cannot
be realized |" cried fourth. 1T is, or
the contrary, infinitely healthier than
America /" asserted a fifth-and so the
meeting broke up in a tumult.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From Our Own Correspondent.

NEW YORK, JAN.23, 1882.
January and May had a touching
turnup the other day. and racy was
the record thereof. The old boy is
a faithful old bill collector, the young
woman is a more or less faithful

popular in her vocation, little TOO
popular the old man thinks. Think

His outspokenness has been reward

me May got the best of il after all.
The railroad horror at Spuyten
Duyvil, where Palace Car Wagner was
a victim of the errors of cartittngs as
well as Of official negligence, is still
an absorbing topic. The "legisla
thurs" who were SO unpleasantly in
terrupted in their poker playing and
whiskey guzzling, are never weary
of relating their hairbreadth escapes
to admiring constituents, while the
funeral Of the victims have occupied
a large share of public attention and
private sorrow. The scapegoat SO
far decided on seems to be the brake
man, an employe of 10 years stand
ing, who can't read and write, who il
is said should have gone back some
distance to- warn following trains,
and only went back a short way.
But in these days of Electricity with
the experience of other calamities,
does not this seem primitive and
childish plan to avoid accidents?
Suppose the following train were
close at hand when the brakeman
started? Or suppose in his hurry on a
slippery track the brakeman fell and
broke his legs or smashed his head?
If the legs of man must be utilized as
more economical than mems brains
and telegraph wires, would il not BE-
prudent on the face of it to send out
brakemen by relays of two, in con-
slant succession, having Car full
of b-akemen for the purposel Even

this case, belated train is stopped |

we were acquainted
You thought me an angel, dear. took you
for saint
But now, old Time has thrown his shadows
full across our way.
Perhaps you have changed John, of this !
cannot say,
But one thing well know, John, my mind
is still the same
As when. beneath the hawthorn tree, you
asked to change my name.
loved you then, | love you now, with a
heart that's warm and true,
And thro all the years we've left behind
has never known but you.
l have never dressed in satins, John, and
silks never knew
My toilet was the simplest kind, my dresses
plain and few,
But plenty to cat we have always had, and
of the very best,
And the stranger at our board, John, was
ever welcome guest.
And now the years are lengthening and
their shadows round us fall
As we wait the final summons, that comes
to us one and all
And this advice to all we freely give, ere
We shall be no more,
Is to always buy your Groceries at the fla

That is good advice, Leake " McCrea will
