married twice, and has for his wife a

From the description then CIV
en- the snake must have been
about IL feet long and nearly
three feet in circumference at the
largest part. Its head re-
sembled that Of an immense bull

to admit Of its swallowing Q

lying in the Wagon track, but
when approached itran into the

WORDS OF WISDOM.
It is better to wear out than to rust

1t is better to wear out than to rust
out.
What shadows we are, and what
shadows we pursue.
True wisdom, in general. consists in
energetic determination.
Be lamp in the chamber if you
cannot be star in the sky.
1t is living twice to be able to en-
joy the past portion of life.
There is certain dignity to be kept
up in pleasure as in business.
The one prudence in life is concen-
tration the one evil is dissipation.
There is one art Of which every man
should be master-the art of redec-
tion.
Justice is the beginning of politica
equality, but brotherly love is the com
pleUion of it.
Character is higher than intellect.
A great soul will be strong to live as
well as to think.
Nature has written letter Of credit
on some mems faces which is honored
everywhere it is presented.
Have the courage to acknowledge
your ignorance rather than seek for
knowledge under false pretense.
Instruction does not prevent waste
of time or mistakes and mistakes
themselves are often the best teachers
of all.
Every day is a little life, and our
whole life is but a day repeated.
Therefore, live every day as if fitwould
be the last.
Keep your promise to the letter. be
prompt and exact, and it will save you
much trouble and care through life,
and win you the respect and trust of
your friends.
Fretting is perpetual profession of
weakness. 1t says, II want to and
can't" Fretting is like little dog
paving and whining at door because
he can't get in.
Never be cast down by triaes. If a
spider breaks his thread twenty times,
twenty times will he mend it again.
Make up your mind to do thing and
you will do it.
Men who think for themselves do
not believe quite so much as those do
who take what they have from hear
say; but it is very apt to be a better
quality Of faith.

Creole Characteristics.

George w. Cable, in one of his arti-
cles on the Creoles of New Orleans
says Outwardly the Creoles of the
Delta had become a graceful, well-knit
race, in full keeping with the freedom
Of their surroundings. Their COM
plexion lacked color. but it was free
from the sallowness Of the Indies.
There was much larger proportion of
blondes among them thanis commonly
supposed. Generally their hair was of
chestnut, or but little deeper tint,
except that in the city Spanish tinct-
ure now and then asserted itself in
black hair and eyes. The women were
fair, symmetrical, with pleasing fea-
lures, lively. expressive eyes, we'll
rounded throats, and superb hair; vi
vacious, decorous, exceedingly taste
full in dress, adorning themselves
with superior effect in draperies
of muslin enriched with embroider-
res and much garniture of lace,
but with more moderate
display of jewels, which indicated
community of limited wealth. They
were much superior to the men in
quickness of wit, and excelled them in
amiability and in many other good
qualities. The more pronounced faults
Of the men were generally those moral
provincialisms which travellers recount
with undue impatience. They aresaid
to have been coarse, boastful, vain; and
they were also deficient in energy and
application, without well-directed am
bition, unskillful in handicraft-doubt-
less through negligence only = and
totally wanting in that community
feeling which begets the study of re-
ciprocal rights and obligations, and re-
veals the individuals advantage in the
promotion of the common interest.
Hence, the Creoles were fonder of
pleasant fictions regarding the salubrity,
beauty, good order and advantages of
their town, than of measures to justify
their assumptions. With African
slavery they were, of course, licen-
tious, and they were always ready for
the dueIing ground; yet it need not
seem surprising that people so beset
by evil influences from every direction
were generally unconscious of repre-
he isible state Of affairs, and preserved
their self respect and proud belief in
their moral excellence. Easily in
famed, they were as easily discour-
aged, thrown into confusion and over
power d, and they expended the best
of their energies in trivial pleasures,
especially the masque and the dance !;
yet they were kind parents, affection
ate wives, ira table children and en-
thusiastic patriots.-Ce71tury.

A SONG OF LONG AGO.

A song of long ago,
Sing it ightly-sing it low
Sing it softly-like the hsping of the lips W,
used to know
When our baby-laughter spilled
From the hearts forever filed
With music sweet as robin ever trilled.
Letthe fragrant summer breeze,
And the leaves of locust trees,
And the apple buds and blossoms, and the
wings of honey bees,
All palpitate with gee,
Til the happy harmony
Brine Lack each childish joy to you and me
La' h. e7es of fancy turn
Where the Gunbled pippins burn
Like emuers in the orchards lap of tousled
grass and fern;
And 10. the wayward wind,
Still sim ing. plod behind
The cader-press-the good old-fashioned
kindi
Blend ii t e song the moan
OF the dove that grievs4 alone,
And the wild wh,rr of the locust, and the
BUNDLES drowsy drone;
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars wnen all
The landscape falnts away at evenfalI.
Then. far away and clear,
Through the dusky atmosphere,
Let the wailing of the Kildee be the only
souni you hear
Oh sweet and sad and low
As the memory may know
Is the glad, pathetic song of Long Ago.

Dr.. Rauch said before the Illinois
Drainage association that marshy and
low lands are not the only unhealthy
grounds, but that hills are often the
source of virulent malarial fever. Al
soil is naturally moist, and soil
moisture is the cause of many diseases.
The ground under buildings should be
kept as dry as possible. In any depres-
sion to which there is drainage the
seeds of malaria are to be found.
In a recent communication TO the
Vienna academy, Professor Graber, Of
Czernowitz, describes long series Of
experiments with regard to the skin
vision of animals affording exact
proof that certain animals, without the
aid OF visual organs proper, can make
not only quantatiye but qualitative
distinctions of light. These expert
ments relate chiefly to the earthworm,
as representing the eyeless lower ami
mails, and to the Triton cristatus, as
representative of the higher ("oph-
thalmoptic) eyed animals.
Mills have often been set on fire by
the frictional electricity from belts,
and in the worsted manufacture it is
necessary to store hestock, at a certain
stage in the process, in damp base
inents for a time ranging from one to
six months, in order to remove the
electricity. A few months ago, it was
stated in the English papers that this
operation had been reduced 10 q few
hours by inclosing the worsted slivers
Lin a copper cylinder, which was closed
and the air exhausted, permitting the
electricity to reach the copper readily
and thence pass to the earth. This
Iexpedient has mol been vet resorted e
Hin this country.

Two surgeons came-bv that time they
had applied the tests, and behold the
dead man opened his eyes.
Terrible was the story he told
when at last they reused him from
that death-like trance. He had been
conscious every moment from the time
they pronounced him dead.
When his wife came he felt the
deadly torpor stealing over his senses,
but her voice, her lamentation, her close
watch revived and heartened him, and
he made almost superhuman efforts to
show her that he was not dead.
That close watching saved him and
made him another man. To the wife
he had slighted, wronged. insulted, he
owed his life, and he had manliness
enough to remember and confess it.
His wound healed rapidly, and when,
month later, they were recalled to

ter's father, he was able to accompany
her.
A late repentance had resulted in

The gambler, who had been accused

Ralph Forester, and whose losses had
kindled an animosity long-cherished

was offered for his arrest.
