Don't tell him how very annoying You often have found it to be, To be told to “get out of the kitchen, And don’t come a-bothering me!” But always seem cheerful and happy, And always look pleasant and gay ; Than a frown there is nothing more jxjtent In driving one's husband away ; And thus yon must ever keep striving You’ll find it an excellent plan ; But whatever you do, dear, remember That your husband is on by'a man. A -Hake !sacks a San ; a Buggy. Mr. Walters and h’s wit- were re turning to the city (ays tHe Dalton, Georgia, Commercial) in a two-hore buggy, from a trip into the countiy About seven miles from town, on the Mnnsfie*d road, they passed a snake that was lying on the side of 'he road, the griat size of which attracted their attention. Alter passing the reptile, Mr, Waters in Deluded fie would turn back and kill it. He turned the team around, drove back to a point opposite the snake, drew his pistol and filed at it, hut without effect. The horses, not I eing used to the report of fire arms, became restless and hard to contiol, which caused the attention of Mr. Walters to be diverted from the snake, which tan rapidly to thehuggy np the wheels, and on the dash-hoard betore the occupants weie aware of it- The snake, when it was within a foot of the occupant* ot the carriage, coil ed the lower part of its body, threw its ueck into a graceful curve, drew back its head, and was just in the act ot launching its deadly fangs into Mr. Walters, ween he fired the second shot. This, though missing, had the effect to cause the suake to lower it self on the longue of the carriage.— Mr Walters then fited two more thots one of which took effect, and caused :he reptile to fall from the carriage to the ground, and Walters dispatched it with a stone The reptile was measured and found to be ovc six leet long, and was thicker than a man’s wrist. Fight Betwee a Snake and a Hen Hawk.— On Thursday, the V 2 ultimo the weather was mild and bright and the sun appealed to have withdrawn | from a etuumor day and planted i’seif i in the midst of January.

Bui Vr. Buake was not to be trifled with timely. The hawk went for its prey when the snake embraced him with a death like grip. The hawk flapped and squaked, but the snake held him fast until a man in Mr Woodall’s employ was attracted by the noise.

Philadelphia is very much excited over the case of Mr. Shrnck, who has been resurrected from the dead. It appears that last September the victim who is a man of thirty-five, had a terrible utt ict of bemmomge of the lungs, since then he b< n slowly wast.tig way unti! on Sunday morn ing !a.-t at 7 o’clock he breathed his last, and Cite under aker was snnuuon eu to take charge of the bo y. When that luuc ionaiy with his assistance arrived however, and whs about lift ing the corpse from the bed one of the attendants heard a groan and hastily place*! the body in the bed agaiu Re storatives were at once applied a (lector sent for and at eleven o'clock Mr. fel rack returned to the land of the living. This was naturaliy something of a suprise to his family, though cases of suspended animation are by no means rare but the most astonishing fact is not that Mr. Shr ck awoke to i life again but that be aw k a per fectly wdl in .n —a new one, indeed and has no since then expeiienced an ache or pain, notwithdeanetng he had previously lo t hie eyesight, hearing and speacli. Mr Shiack gives the fod'.wing description of what tie saw bet wen 7 and 11 a. m. ; “Vy head had sca<cely touched t lie pillow when I extdaiiiied : Throw me over! and then—l found tnyseh in en o'her laid The vision I looked upon was the most beautiful that man ever f.iw It would lie impossible for ra to give “ description tha* would do it justice. My first feelings was that of falling down a gieat height, and then I found my-eif in a valley. I walked along ntil I came to a terihle dark, black rvei, at sight of which I siiud. dered and feared. Before me and ! beyond the river was a track cloud,— Oriierß were walking over the river, and, although 1 dreaded it, something urged me on and I felt tha' I had to go with the ethers. As I got nearer to the dark cloud it became bright and beautiful, and expanding it opened aud disclosed 'lie nio-t beau'iru sight The fir-t i saw was Jesus I saw a great temple and a grsa> throne I saw my fittle boy, lm as drowned 'wo'.ents ago, and my otli-r dead child. I saw my dead wde; lint 1 could not touch 'hem I saw people whom I had almost forgotten. I saw my old gray-haired grandfather, who died when 1 was but two years old. There were many w! out I looked for, but ! did not see them. Then the vision began receding and I never can de scribe the terrible disappointment I felt when I found nil sell u„h;ii iu Led. I felt, indeed grieved.” It is haidly nee* sssary to say that Mr. hhrack’s dreatn - (hough very 1 beautiful, has be<.ii surpassed hy those of ttie hasheesh eaters. —Jialtxmore Gillette.

A prominent Loui-ianna Democrat, known to he in the of hu party, announces lhat during the com ing both the officials named will ke called upon to ans werjsuch indictment. The statemi nt, fw liich is corroborated by many eiroumatatices* is that Gen.
