And long and dark the lashes are

His Last RdttlGSDaEH.

An affecting Incident happened in the
island of Martinique in the summer of
l8-. A fine, athletic negro named Cola.
belonging to a wealthy planter, was des-
perately enamored of pretty mulatto
lass, called Juanita, living on the next
plantation.
But Juanita was q coquette, and cruel
as coquettes generally are. Having a
slight tinge of white blood in her she
looked down from an exalted height on
poor Cola, who was hlacker than the ink
Lam writing with. Still Cola did not
despair. but pressed his suit on every
opportunity
at last Juanita, finding her lover so
pertinacious that he must either be final-
ly rejected or accepted, told him one
day that she had a passion for rattle
snakes tails; that she valued them in
proportion to their length; but that as
yet she had never been able to get tail
which consisted of twelve rings.
Now, # he brought her tail with
twelve rings sho would be his.
GOla's heart sank, but sill he determ-
ined to undertake this dangerous task.

said the girl.
But Miss Oskes only teleeraphed to
Theodore Max: Come It once"
Theodore" she said to him, before
she led him into sophy's presence; "you

He answered frankly:
"Fondly. But could not marry her,

"She ia free,'' said Alice.
"What can you know of Sophy1" asked
her lover.
Alice drew her engagement ring from
her finger and gave it to him.
"Give this to Sophy," she said. II
will give her dowry. 1 see you love
her. know she loves you, and found

Again the world wondered. When

They we're not disappointed. but the

At last, one day. when almost des-
pairing of success, Cola was crossing an
open space, his ear was caught by par
ticularly loud and sonorous rattle.
He stopped and perceived an enorm-
ous rattlesnake gliding toward him. It's
eyes were glowing with an intense FIRE;
its bifurcated tongue was aeitated with
an inconceivable rapidity of motion.
Cola felt that the hour had come when
be should either win Juanita or perish.
The size and appearance of the snake
convinced him that it had twelve or
more rings in ITS tail, and he awaited its
approach with beating heart.
The snake came gliding on, ard when
within about three feet coiled himself
for spring. Cola now seized the op.
portuHity, and, dashIng his torch in its
face severed the head from the body with
one blow.

quickly he discovered to his horror, that
he had placed one of bis bare feet on the
snakes head. in which the muscular &c &.
tion still continued, and that, all lifeless
as it was, it had bitten him,
Cola now knew that he wos dead
man. and his sole object was to see
Juanita before he expired. Catching up
his prize, which he had purchased with
his life, he rushed across the fields with
the speed Of despair,
Every moment he felt the poison work
ing more fatally in his veins, until at
last swollen, breathless, speechless, and
frothing at the lips, he rushed into
Jusuiis's presence. He could no longer
articulate, but holding ont 70 her the

fixing on her one last look of deyotion,
