if his name is not yet heralded upon
the scroll of Columbia's pride and

citizen.
Truly, thought we, what prophet
can foretell-what mind can predict
the future greatness and glory of
our own loved land, when boys be-
come its standard bearers, and youths
battle with manhood for supremacy
and birthright? Such boys as Da-
vid Reed are the roses in the wreath
of infant freedom-lilies in the gar
land of our own liberty-the star in
the constellation of our future great
ness. With him as with Cardinal
Richelieu, there Is no such aoord as
fail! But who can tell the anguish
of his mothers heart when necessity
urged Ter to allow her boy to wan
der among strangers for home,
and depend upon charity for kind
ness. Weep, though she may in her

may yet be those of thankfulness and
Joy over his future career of useful
ness and prosperity. = Doyleston,

According 20 Science the number Of

and especially TO the embankments
thrown up for railways. Il is estimat-
that more than 5000 snakes were kill
ed within mile Of this town. They
were chiefly garter snakes. but water
moccasins. blue racers and rattle
snakes were also killed. A horse was
confined in a pasture surrounded by n
wire fence in the overhowcd district.
and when released IL was found that

where 80 many snakes found hiding
places. Nearly all the snakes In this
country are confined to the creek and
