For the Eagle.
In MEMORY OF LITTLE CHARLIE
FRAZIER

Last night in the hush of twilight.
As the sun was sinking low.
The angel of death TO Que household came,
And filled our hearts with woe.
He took our baby: our loved one,
From this world of pain below.
Safe to the arms of Jesus,
Where be is resting now. we know.
We shall miss the pattering footsteps
We have heard in orr home so long:
His little feet now walk the golden strand:
His lips sing the angels song.
Then why should you weep dear friends,
Though your hearts are sorely riven:
He shines as gem in the Savior crown,
a beautiful star in heaven.

Tenacity Of Life in Snasns.

TIE tenacity of life possessed b.
snakes is very wonderful. Last winte
some men were digging well out in The
country and close to the Meranec, il
Missouri, when they came on a cavity il
the ground which contained rest 0
snakes. The weather was bitter colo
and the snakes were apparently dead
They were all blacksnakes aud harmless
so the men loaded them into the buckle
and sent them to the top, just for curl
osity. They were thrown out on tat
ground aud in little while were frozeI
as stiff as so many sticks. Their bodie
became so brittle with the frost that Il
hauling them several were broken like
icices. One of the men, when he wen
home at night, TOOK two or three o! thu
largest along TO brighten his wife. IL
succeeded very well, according to tn,
Globe Democrat, and, leaving the snake
on the floor in the kitchen before thu
fire, sat down to eat his supper, forget
ting all about them. While the mea
was in progress his wife, who had lef
the room, suddenly gave terrific
scream that made him jump up in
panic and run to see what was the mat
ter. As be opened the kitchen door sh
fell against him, almost faiuting will
fright and too badly scared to tell wha
allied her lie soon found out, for OF
going in he at first thought he chad 'eu
again" for the room seemed full
snakes. Warmed by the genial glow o
the kitchen fire, the frozen snakes had
come to life and were coursing round
the room with chilling energy. HI
did not care to tackle the job OF killing
them there, so he pushed the outer door
open and they soon found their way out,
and had not gone 100 yards before they
were stiff as ever with the cold. He
followed them out and finished then
with a pole, but says he will never trust
q snake again, no matter how haro
frozen.
