a Costume Of r attlesnake Skin.

Peter Gruber, the Rattlesnake
King of Venango county, has made
the most unique costume any man
ever wore. It consists of coat, vest,
trousers, hat, shoes and shirt, and is
made entirely Of the skins Of rattle
snakes. Seven hundred snakes, all
caught and skinned by Gruber dur
ing the past five years, provided the
material for this novel costume. To
preserve the brilliancy and A~exibility
of the skins in the greatest possible
degree, the snakes were skinned alive,
first being made unconscious by
chloroform. They were then tanned
by a method peculiar to Gruber, and
are as soft and elastic as wooden
goods. The different articles for
this outfit were made by Oil City
t~ailors, shoemakers and hatters, and
the costume is valued at $1,000

Hope.
Rev. DR.. Armitage.
Don't forget to giggle,

Rev. DR.. Armitage.
Did it ever occur to you what a
world of thought is wrapped up in
that little word "hope?" Its very
pronunciation makes every bosom
bound and burn. It is music to the
a of the young, health to the sick,
and life reiuvenated to the old. Po-
etry makes hope a formation, grief
makes it a s~olace, and desolation
makes it the brightest flower that
adorns earthly creation, while even
disappointment and delusion whisper
darkness out of the sky Of today into
sunshine of tomorrow. Sobbing
sorrow may crush and cripple the
soul, but hope gives it new elasticity.
Nay, it may be humiliation in the
dust, but hope will raise it up again.
Hope is mans birthright, which,
after all his Establishments, decisions,
and mockeries, never maketh him
ashamed to hope on, hope ever. Airy
fancies may allure him and smiling
faces beguile him into treachery, but
hope fits eternal around the human
heaAand breast, andahangs the rain
bow orthe blacklist Cloud il 7ar1 the
chaste sparklings Of an angel from
immortal life. Thunderbolts may
leap from the fair bow in the clouds,
and hope pnay vanisha as a fair scorner
from that bright spot, but the facet
mating form soon appears elsewhere
in fairer robes than ever, and with a
wreath of flowers to crown the child
of endless disappointments. Now
when you connect the word 'hope"
with "salvation," then what a won
derful word it becomes! At once it
comes to measure mans most delight
full Christian attainment. Indeed, so
intimately is it associated with prac-
teal goodness, that religion itself is
called a good hope through grace"
More than this, our God is called the
God of hope, and his finished work
is known as "the hope set before US
in the gospel" while those who accept
him are said "to rejoice in the hope
of the glory Of God"

Warren's idea Of Dying.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Warren, aged four years, had
formed his ideas of angels and their
forms from the study of certain steel
engravings, and told his mother if
she scolded him again he would Idle
and go right to heaven" Being told
that that vas easier said than done,
and asked how he would get there,
he answered without hesitation. ooh,
I would pile up all the chairs and
tables and boxes and ladders as far
as they would go, and then I 'spect
an angel would come down and get
me. And anyway I'd a'good deal
rather 60 that way than have things
screwed into mel"

True Marriage.
Theodore Parker.

Theodore Parker.
A happy wedlock is a long falling
in love. I know young persons
think love belongs only to the brown
hair and plump, round, crimson
cheeks. So it does for its beginning,
just as Mount Washington begins at
Boston day. But the golden mar
riage is II part of love which the bri-
dial day knows nothing OF. Youth
is the tassel and silken flower of love;
age is the full corn, ripe and solid in
the ear. Beautiful is the morning OF
love, with it's prophetic crimson, VIC
let, saffron, purple and gold, with its
hopes of days that I to come.
Beautiful also is the evening of love,
with it's glad remembrance and its
rainbow side turned toward heaven
as we'll as earth.

Confederate Camp Flags.
New Orleans Times-Dtmocrat.

The Confederate stars and bars
were in 1868 supplemented by the
camp flag. This was in size and
shape like the other, except that it
was white, with no stripes, and the
battle flag in the upper corner next
the staff. 1t was found deficient in
actual service in that, displaying so
much white, it was sometimes apt to
be mistaken for a flag Of truce, and
on Feb. "a, 1865, it gave place to the
last flag Of the Confederacy, the outer
half being a red vertical bar. APP.
pearing SO late in the war, it was not
so familiar as the others-in fact, it
was comparatively little known.

anAAdes-n of ~sneieasa 4
About twenty years later, sae was
returning alone from California
when an accident occurred on the
railroad train in which she was a pas
seneer, and she received a fatal inter
nal injury. She was carried into a
wayside station, and there, attended
only by a physician from a
neighboring village, she died.
The doctor who attended her has
said that it was one of the most pain
full experiences Of his life. Il had to
tell her she had but an hour to live.
She was not suffering any pain; her
only consciousness of hurt was that
she was unable to move, 50 that
it was no wonder she could no
believe me-" Il must 60 home," sic
said, imparatiyely. to New York"
Madame, it is impossible. If you
are moved it will shorten the time
you have to live"
She was lying on the floor. The
brakemen had rolled up their coats
to make her a pillow. She looked
about her at the little dingy station
with the stove, stained with tobacco,

The men left the room, and [

over her face and lay quiet for along
time, then she turned on me in a
frenzy
"'To think of all I might have
done with my money and my time!
God wanted me to help the poor and
sick; its too late now. I've only an

ment she lay dead at my feet
No sermon that I vel heard was

About 1860, a gentleman from New
York, who was travelling in the South,
met a young girl of great beauty
and wealth, and married her. They
returned to New York and plunged
into a mad whirl of gayety. The
young wife had been a gentle,
thoughtful girl, anxious to help all
suffering and want, and to serve her
God faithfully; but as Mrs. L, she
had troops of fatterers. Her beauty
and dress were described in society
Journals; her bon mots few from

of the most attractive in the park.
In q few months she was intoxicated
with admiration. She and her hus-
band fitted from New York to New
port, from London to Paris, with no
object but enjoyment. There were
other men and women of their class
who had some other worthier pur-
