A TOUGH SNAKE STORY.
He Hated a Man Who Would Lie
so OutrageOusly.

81 hate a man who lies about snakes,
said. an old fellow who bad been listen
ing for about an hour to snake stories,
around the stove OF the Overland
House.
"Perhaps you mean that we are liars, y
said one of the most loquacious of the
yarn spinners
"Oh, no; I haven't heard ANYTHING
from you fellows that astonished me, u
continued the stranger.
"Perhaps you know few snake sto-
ries Yourself" said une Of the group.
"Well, do recollect curious circum-
stance connected with snakes. Up at
Malada last summer saw rattle snake
going along the road with thirty six
young snakes in tow"
"Must have been poIywog," remark
ed bystander.
"Oh, that wasn't anything; but when
the big snake saw me coming it jus,
swallowed those thirty-six young snakes
one after the other"
"Oh, he's a good one himself" said
one of the crowd.
81 don't see anything. surprising in
that" continued the Malada man. "Bu,
what struck me as curious was that when
came to kill that snake, about two min.
utes alterwari, could not find solitary
young snake inside the big one after cut
ting it OPEN"
Holy Moses! what whopper" they
exclaimed in admiration.
"But STILL" responded the story teller
II af,erward figured out what seemed
almost inexplicable. You see, after thu
family began to realize its danger, eight
cen of those young ones swallowed al
equal number of the others; there is 81
many out of the way then nine Of thos
remaining swallowed nine Of the rest
You see it is no trouble to explain thes'
things if you only light up the myster,
OF nature with the lamp OF reason ant
intelligence. They keep right on dimin
ishing the number in regular arithme,i
cal proportion until there was but on

"Oh, now you've got me; that's wins
makes the story so remarkable. ! di
not interrupt you with unreasonable cue

any show of snake story il he's inter

Here he walked away, leaving th
commonplace liars ashamed Of all tn
snake stories they had told"

From Freiburg, of which the magnificent

a splendid walk or drive may be taken

imply. In summer d6tour should GER

highest village in the Forest, famed for its

which is a revered resort of the neighbor

Hence the tourist can work his way down
to the Falls of the Rhine at Neuhausen,
while going little further still up the
Rhine, the curious cross situated in

which is of bronze, is 1877 and there is a

sketches in the Black Forest.

Most tourists bound for Switzerland have
skirted the Black Forest either on their
way to Basle, with perhaps days halt at
Freiburg to see the cathedral, or on their
road from Strasburg to Constance, when
they have made the journey over that mar
yellous climbing railway, which at one
point rises to the height Of upward of 2700
feet, and burrows in and out of fir-elad
mountain, or runs along the brink of a pre-
cipitous height with daring facility which
fairly takes away the breath of those who
travel on it for the FIRST time. And yet,
despite the glorious views afforded of the
valleys beneath, come smiling with pasture
lands and quantity built villages, others
with romantic rayines and angry torrents
rushing past with picturesque haste, teem-
ing with every shade and tone of color
imaginable; despite, again, the numberless
mountains, thickly clad with lofty pines,
and frequently surmounted with an old
ruined castle to which attaches many le-
gend, and whence may be obtained far
extending prospect-few people ever think
of halting at one of the sby-stations, and
still fewer of spending many days in ex-
ploring one of the most picturesque and
Fascinating districts in Europe. One rea-

Sometimes, when the summer flowers are iown
And the winds fit by with q dreary moan.
And the earth lies wrapped in a shroud of snow
Our thoughts with a sigh and yearning go,
To the blissful, radiant days which fled,
When autumn came with her solemn tread,
And we plead with the summer again to restore
The beautiful days that are no more.
o we long to behold the leaf-erowned trees,
To hear the music Of birds and breeze;
The hills and the valleys in beauty rejoice,
And the rivulets lift up their tuneful voice;
And the fair, sweet blossoms we mourned as dead
Spring up with delight from their wintry bed,
And we sigh and we yearn, yea, Ger and o'er,
For the beautiful days that are no more.
Sometimes, when weary and vexed with life.
It's cares and enoyings, toll and strife;
And the bleak slid winds Of sorrow blow
Laying our fair hopes crushed and low
When, one by one, from our aching heart
We view each radiant dream depart
o we sigh for the past again to restore,
The beautiful days that are no more.
o we long for the freedom from toll and care,
For the sunny sfow, and the wind-swept hair;
For the hopes that flooded our souls with light
And the beautiful dreams by day and night
For the spotless soul. and the perfect trust,
And joys that never were soiled with dust;
o We yearn. when our hearts are weary aId sore,
For the beautiful days that are no more.
The summer will come and melt the snow,
And fragrant zephyrs again viii blow;
Sweet flowers viii bloom, and song-birds trill.
And beauty crown each valley and hill;
But never again to our yearning heart
The buried past from its grave shall start;
