The Diamond Rattlesnake

or all the snake varieties of which we
have yet any knowledge, the diamond
rattiesnake, as it is called, seems to be
the most deadly.-It grows to a length
of six or seven feet, and is somewhat
thicker than mans wrist. 1t is armed
with the whitest and sharpest of fangs,
nearly an inch in length, with cisterns of
liquid poison at their base.
y terror to man and beast. he turns
aside from no one, although he will not
90 out of his way to attack anything un-
less pressed by hunger.
\ description of his movements by a
traveller who has encountered him,
states that he moves quietly along, his
cleaning eyes seeming to emit greenish
light, and to shine with as much bril-
llancy as the jewels of a finished CO.
quette. Nothing seems to escape his
observation, and on the slightest move
ment near him he swings into his fight
ing attitude, raising his upper jaw and
ejecting his fangs, which, in state of
repcse, lie closely packed in the soft
muscles of his mouth. This snake is not
so active as the famous copperhead of
North America, nor so quick to strike,
but Que blow is almost always fatal.
His ianss are so long that they penetrate
deep Into the muscles and veins of his
victim, who has little time for more than
single good bye before closing his eyes
forever. In one instance the fangs were
found to be seveneights of an inch in
length, and though not thicker than a
common sewing machine needle they
were perforated with a hole through
which the gre 9nish yellow liquid could
be forced in considerable quantities, and
each of the sacs contained about half a
teaspoonful of tie most terrible and
deadly poison.

THE THREE CENT STAMP.

Good by, old stamp; it's nasty luck
That ends our friendship so,
When others failed you gamely stuck,
But now you've got to go.
So here's a food of honest tears,
And here's an honest sigh
Goodby old friend of many years
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
Your life has been Il varied one,
With curious phases fraught-
Sometimes check, sometimes a dun,
Your daily coming brought
Smiles to waiting lovers face,
Tears to a mothers eye,
Or joy or pain to every place
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
You bravely toiled, and better men
Will vouch for what l say;
Although you have been licked, twas when
Your face turned t'other way.
Twas often in box you got
CAS- you will not deny)-
For going through the mails, l wot-
Good-by, old stamp. good-by!
All, in your last expiring breath
The tale of years is heard
The sound of voices hushed in death.
A mothers dying word,
a maIden's answer, soft and sweet,
A wife's regretful sigh,
The patter of baby's feet
Good-by, old stamp, good by
What wonder, then, that at this time
When you and l must part,
1 should aspire to speak in rhyme
The promptings of my heart.
Go, bide with all those mem 'ries dear
That live when others die
You've nobly served your purpose here
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!

WHEN Rev. DR.. Burton, leading
Connecticut divine, was engaged in his
first pastorate in Hartford, he was much
annoyed by the way in which his parish
toner's abSented themselves from church
on stormy Sundays. After two or three
occurrences of the kind he decided to
remain away himself the first rainy
Sunday. A chance occurred not long
afterwards for putting the resolution
into effect. The rain fell in torrents,
and not over a half dozen people ap-
peared at church. The Doctor resolutely
remained at home. The church goers
after consultation, procured a carriage
and sent for the pastor. They found
him comfortably housed at home, and
inquired what could have kept him from
services. "Oh, replied DR.. Burton, 81

home stormy Sundays, and l thought

On one occasion, last winter, while DR..
Burton was walking down the streets, a
heavy snow storm prevailing at the time,
he received a fall on the ice. Just at that
moment a friend happened to pass, and
saw him at full length on the sidewalk.
On extending sympathy on account of the
fall, he was playfully asked by the Doc
tor if he could not bare witness 20 the
fact that he was sober? But, Doctor"

Judge Black and his Clean Shirts.

An exchange says Judge Black was
very absent-minded. Once, when he
was coming to Washington, Mrs. Black
said to him: 81 want you to promise me
that you will put ON a clean shirt every
morning, and have put six into your
trunk. Please do, and don't let me see
in Washington papers illusions to your
dirty linen The judge promised, left,
and in week returned. After speaking
to his wife, he went into bis office, where
he Was soon absorbed in studying a
case. After while in came Mrs. Black.

you done with all the shirts you took to
