Young Lady at. Boarding Schools

At some of the French boarding
schools in Paris, the girls are fed
on weak soup, two or three de-
grees stronger than hot water;
meat from which nearly all TIE
nourishm ent is extracted by boil
irg; coarse, veal, watery carrots
and gray, sour bread. Tie young
lady who comes home after a few
terms Of this sort of diet may be
very learned, but is pale and poor
looking, lacking vigor and health.

A CHARMING SNAKE.
The Mysterious influence Exerted
Over a Little Girl.

Good Words.
Sometimes the tables are turn
ed, and the snake itself becomes
the charmer, fascinating its vic
tim. The story goes that a young
girl Of 10, living with her parents
in franklin county, Mo-, was found
to be gradually wearing away in Q
decline, at length becoming little
more than mere skeleton. A
/ popularity of tile case was that
she could not be induced to eat in
the house, but always insisted on
taking her bread and butter, or
what not, to the banks of a neigh
boring brook, where she would re-
main for hours together. At
length her anxious father deter
mined, unknown to her, to watch
her movements. One day she had
been sitting quietly on the bank
for some time, when she returned
to the house and asked for food.
This was given to her, and she
went back to the brookside, her
father stealthily following her.
To his horror he saw a huge black
snake slowly raise its head into
the child's lap, and take pieces of
bread and butter from her hand.
If she ventured to take bite her.
self the snake Kissed and showed
signs of anger, when the child
would tremble like leaf, and i'm
mediately gave her food to the
reptile. The father was CON-
pletely paralyzed, and groaned in
his agony. The noise disturbed
the snake, which glided away, and
was, for the time being, lost to
sight. The child refused to an
swer any questions; indeed, she
appeared incapable of SO doing.
1t was determined that she should
be allowed to go once more to the
bank where she had been accus-
toned to sit in order to allure the
snake to its doom. Next day, then,
the girl went with her little meal
to the brookside, and the moment
the reptile appeared the father,
who was on the watch, shot Il
through the head. The child
tainted at the sight; the snake
writhed and died. The poor little
girl never recovered the shock,
and came to her senses only to
swoon again and again til. she ex-
pired, apparently in great agony.
What was the mysterious inhu-
ence?

The Hour of Eve.

Sweet Is the dawn of the opening day,
Sweet are the morning hours,
When the mists of the night have fled away
And the birds are singing carols gay,
And the dew drops gem the flowers.
But sweeter far are the hours of eve,
When Loves court holds it session,
And stroll in the lane with Genezieye.
And from her trembling lips receive
Her PASSIONS sweet confession.
She VOWS that her love will last for aye,
How blissful the situationi
Meath the friendly shade of the elms we
stray,
And the stars look down in knowing
way
As we practice osculation.

And away the young farmer

not he prove to be type? Why
may not there follow in his foot
steps a race of young farmers,
sturdy and self reliant, with
smooth hrows, clear eyes and
strong arms? Why may they not
come to the rescue of our section
from the domination of western
smokehouses and cribs, and win
for the south amid their corn rows
a fuller and better experience than
their fathers fought for twenty

of land and more to come. AIr.
