DiseIpllning a Snake.

1t Is but fair to snakes to state that
though i have often been scared by
them, they have now and then amused
and interested me. To give an instance
in their favor: One day / was sitting

thatch roof down TO the broad path, so
necessary round = dwelling in lands
where grass fires are frequent, and
would, but for this precaution, be likely
to come roaring FOR admittance to the
threshold. Well, this roll of living
matter fell, and natural antipathy rum
ming through my nervous system like
an electric current warned me that a
snake, though undistinguishablc, was
in this bundle; and, surely, soon a
brown one uncoiled itself and went
across the path, much impedcd by two
valiantl little birds, who must have
caught him poaching in their nest and
turned him out. Now they we're seeing
him safe OF the premises, and on his
way into the thick refuge of grass, for
which he was hurrying against adverse
circumstances. the birds were giving
him piece of their minds in aggr,s-
waited twitter-language. He conld not
stand and give fight, for the moment
he looked TO the right an angry beak
nipped his left side; ON turning to the
lett he received peck on his smooth,
ripping skin from the infurlated parent
to the right. On and on went the party,
the brave birdsworrying Tho snake until
the grass was reached, and thop they
