W. Y. Brown, of the Cove, bad received such injuries in a gin that his right arm had to be amputated. This accidentia especially unfortunate as Mr. Brown is one of Meriwether’s most energet¬ ic, industrious and useful citizens.

Christopher, the handswme bachelor editor of the Montezuma Record, was married. Christopher was a bright man intel¬ lectually and an able editor; a pleas¬ ant, genial companion and had al¬ ways seemed to be honest, upright and prudent. It is therefore with great misgiving and sorrow that we see him throwing bis life away in the attempt to solve the unanswerable riddle “Is marriage a failure?” He ought to have known better.

A USEFUL SNAKE. Man’s First and Oldest Enemy be¬ comes His Valuable Ally. We sauntered into Judge Ham¬ mond’s office on thanksgiving morn¬ ing to wait for our mail and to take our morning smoke, and found the Judge in a happy mood and very thafciiul for the many blessings which the country now enjoys, though somewhat inclined to be dis¬ satisfied With the result of his last venture in the Louisiana Lottery. Be consoled himself, however, with the idea that we cannot always have everthing just exactly like we wish it to be, and that he could do good in othgr ways, besides drawing the cap¬ ital prize in the Lottery, and be pro¬ ceeded to give us the following les¬ son: “ Young man, if at first, you don’t succeed try, try, again. Your small creators nave wtutea inw long; jusu turn your house shoes the other way, to change your luck, and let them wait again. It will teach them the excellent lesson of Patience, if they will only wait till you draw the prize. “But let me say that white I did not get the capital prize, yet I fed thank¬ ful all the same. 1 have always been fond of rawing fine chickens, and my success has always been enjoyed by Some of my unknown admirers, who KWRlvsys considerate enough not to disturb me, but would come at night after I had retired and make their own selections. Weil, some 5SSSSES5 eggs^it ninetWSvs, shout • yii'Wiifcswr discover a <....... i the ben’s nest mother, and but ran she! tot a contempt for alii ikes that wjHw . BBB. wt CM course that meant for me to come Iffot quick, and I went quick. But when got there my < and bo were my q__ snake. The snake bad swallowed the whole sitting of eggs just on the eve of hatching, but the old hen with that determination which reflects credit on her patience and her faith, still continued to sit, and wait for the chirp of the little ones which she bad warmed into life. Bnt the chirp ‘Which she longed lb* never came.’ “A few days after this I was down in the field and was surprised to hear me little chickens crying and be- in to look tor them, and was soon the weeds and on looking down saw the little chickens running toward >ifee noise and’then discovered the old snake with her month widb open and &P ran chickens in and running the snake into it closed until her all mdnth an^ shut them in. Byaregn Ibr process of nature the eggs had Batched in the stomach of the snake. Of course I made no effort then to kill the snake, but rather to cult! ■=■£«-.=»= snake that I would not barm her, And that probably we were necessary to each other, which of course was e betoa friends ever since. I pro- sHteMafce and the snake protects fey chickens. That miserable gang Which prowls about at night and Steels all the choicest fowls, have learned that I raise my fowls by the ai^ of snakes and they let me alone. It is certainly a happy sight to see tho old snake elimb up in the high weeds and take hold of one with her mouth, and wrap her tail around Another, and then the little -chickens get on her back, white the old snake swings back and forth and whistles ktele she swings that old familiar tune “Rock abye baby in the tree tojr*” which riie whistles in perfect time, and a clear soft note. M f neighbors frequently come in to see the old snake swing her brood upon her back while she sings that sweet old lullaby^wblch carries Us back to our mother’s knee when she sang us to sleep with the same old song. “Next year, of course, I will en¬ deavor to profit by this accidental discovery. I shaU raise chicken snakes, and when I set myhens.Iwil! turn my snakes into the nests at the end of the nineteenth day and tet the snakes swallow the eggs, and the process of incubation will be complet¬ ed in the stomach of the snake, while the old hen can be put to laying more eggs, and not lose ber time in raising the chickens, and the snakes will nurse the yovmg broods with tender motherly care, and no prowl, ing chicken thief will molest or make them afraid.” Love ia a Cottage. “I ‘Cholly/’ notice that said Amarantba recently Jane, to be bubbling your spirits with happi¬ seem over ness.
