At chill and cheerless break of day?
And where, with swift, impatient tread.

** And lies tby home beyond that peak.
In some wild-wooded mountain-glen.
And, sick with absence, dost thou seek
The sweet, familiar scene again?"

That drinks the dew from grass and tree,
I leave my father's house behind—
The broad, bright world is home to mo."
“ Then Fancy hath thee by the hand.
And whispers tales of import sweet—
How. sighing through a rainbow land,
Love listens for thy coming. feet?"
“ ’Twcre sweet to And love waiting me.
If love wore mock and came unsought;
Not mine a love-sick fantasy—

“ Dost dream of mines and treasures rare
In yon recesses buried down,
Or seek in faery fastness there
The bitter laurel of renown?'
“ Ask me no more; I cannot tell
What thing 1 burn to And or do;
I only know a wild, wild B[wll

With Kept i leu.
There was brought to the Star office
by Mr. G. O. Starr yesterday an enorm
ous egg. It was twice the size of a
goose-egg, but was not as regular in
shape. The outer covering, instead of
being hard and brittle like a shell, was
8o soft that it could be easily indented
by the linger. This singular egg was
cold and clammy to the touch, and it
gave a [>erson who handled it an un
comfortable feeling like that which
would result from contact with a snake,
toad or frog.
“This egg,” said Mr. Starr, “was
laid by the three-hundred-pound python
which was brought to this city by Mr.
G. B. Bunnell a few days ago. The
python is sitting upon a nest full of such
eggs, and in a sh >rt time a lot of little
snakes will be hat< hed out. They will
be nice pets for people who have an ad
miration for reptiles. The mothersnake
is twenty-live feet in length, and she is
coiled upon her nest and palient Iv await
ing the advent of her young. Iler tem
per is Just like that of a setting hen.
She is very ugly, ami if she is disturbed
she manifests her displea-ure in a wav
that gives all meddlers to understand
that she wishes to be let severely alone.”
“What shall 1 do with this (h ng?”
was the inquiry made by the represent
ative of the Star, to whom the python’s
egg was handed.
“ Yon can have it hatched artificial
ly.” was the reply of the donor. “Just
keep it in cotton in a place which is
neither too wa: in nor too cold, and the
first, thing you know you will be the
owner of a real, live python. Then if
you t ike proper e.ire of the young
snake, it will grow so large that it wifi
la* able to eoil about you and crush a ou
in its vice-like folds.’
Mr. W. A. Conkling. Superintendent
of the Central Park Menagerie. Speak
ing of reptiles, said: “There is scarcely
any animal that commands so much
aversion as the serpent, and yet, in spite
of this, it is one of the most interesting
of all that come before th* naturalist.
Yet little attention has been paid to
the snake, as compared to others
of the animal kingdom. The ancient
writers speak in respectful tones of ser
pents of size and power. Aristotle tells
of the immense Lyh'an serpents, so
large that they pursued and upset some
of the voyagers’ boats that visited that
coast. The story of the gigantic snake
that threw the army of Kegulus into dis
order by killing ami devouring several
of hissoldiers. and squeezing a few hun
dred to death in his folds, will be re
membered. Regulus finally killed the
monster by aid of the engines used to as
sail fortified places. The skin of this py
thon was 120 feet in length, and for wars
adorned one the temples of Koine. 1 ’
Mr. Conkling added: “The story
that snipes cover their prey with saliva
is an error. Sir Robert Ker Porter says
the python does not first cover its prey
with saliva. The mucous does not pour
out of the glands unless the prey is large
and it is required to lubricate the jaws
and throat for the seemingly dispropor
tionate feast. Pythons will cling by the
tail to some tree growing in the water,
and then float upon the surface and wait
for animals that may come to the water
to quench their thirst. '1 hey often feed
upon each other. In the Zoological
Gardens in London, one who had lived
for years on friendly terms with a
brother nearly as large as himself, was
found one morning sole tenant of his
den. As the cage was secure, the keep
er was puzzled to know how the serpent
had escaped. At last it was discovered
that the remaining inmate had swollen
remarkably during the night, when the
truth came out. But if you want a good
up and down snake story, let me intro
duce you co Prof. Hutchings.”
“Can I tell you anything about
snakes? I should say so, said the Kev.
Mr. Hutchings, lightning calculator and
lecturer upon Bunnell's wonders. “Sir!
I could tell you facts, sir facts in rela
tion to the betrayer of our common
mother that would overwhelm you with
amazement. I remember one in the
year 1864. I was at Gilbert's Museum,
Market, near Second, San Francisco,
Cal. Fifty in gold and all expenses.
Those were glorious days; gold way up,
and myself generally ’in a like condi-
tion. I noticed for several days a man
they called Reynolds hanging about the
place. He was a man about fifty, no
taller than myself, gray locks hanging
over bis shoulders. A bent form like a
tree that had been brought up wrong.
Eyes with a far-away look. He had a
peculiar gliding motion, and his feet,
muffled in slippers, gave forth no more
sound than the reptile. Shortly after I
noticed the proprietor advertised for
snakes. One day a mountaineer came
in with a box pierced with air-holes.
From the inside came a sound like unto
the rattle of musketry.
“ ‘ What yer got, stranger?’ said Rey
nolds, pushing through the crowd.
“ * Rattlers.' said the mountaineer
“ * Let me take one,’ said Reynolds,
reaching for the box.
“ • Better look out; they bite, and
when they bite they kill.' was the reply.
“' If ytt brought thffse in answer to
the advertisement them's m,v snakes,’
said Reynolds, as he plunged his hand
into the box. In a second he brought
forth a six-foot rattlesnake, and holding
it between a thumb and finger looked at
it. The far-away look in the eyes of
the mysterious man had given way to a
dancing, sparkling brilliancy, before
which the snake was powerless.
“ * Ain't he purty? Sed thestin strike
its handsome hiddffrtd bum back in rain
bow colors. Kiss me, boy.’
“ Slowly the deadly serpent went to
wards his mouth, and then darted down
his throat. The crowd did not m >ve;
they scarcely breathed. I hilt my hair
rising; 1 might say, in New Haven slang:
*We were paralyzed.’ At all events,
we were rooted to the spot as firmly as
the Pyramids are to Egypt's sand. In
an instant his hands Were in the b >x,
and no loss than twenty of these deadly
an mills were dancing aroun I him to
the music of Ihoir ruit'esi I'hu iiiouiit
ninoer Was p:l’c Ilsa sheet, and trembled
as with the ague. Ba k went the snakes
into the box. Turning to the mount
aineer, Reynolds exilaimel: ‘What’s
the matter; are ye cold?’ His voice
broke the spell; the mountaineer gave
one look, and then .ma Io for the door.
He nevereame for pay forth ) c snakes.”
Among the visitors to see the enor
mous <IOO pound python on exhibition
there was a native of Central America.
He told the attendant at thedoor that a
long residence in a warm climate had
made him perfectly familiar with rep
tiles and their habits. He acknowl
edged that the pithon in the museum
was a wonderful serpent, but he said
he had seen many sileh in Guatemala.
A representative of the Star, who hap
pened to come along just then and
overheard the Central American's re
marks, asked him to relate some of his
experiences with snakes. The man was
a veteran of sixty-live or seventy years.
His fa< e was bronzed, and his hair,
which he wore long, was as straight a<
that of an Indian. He was full six feet
tall, and the lankness of his figure give
him a singular appearance. He told
the reporter that his name was Senor
Jose Here. that he was born in Mexico,
ami left that country for Central Am *r
iea when a young man. The Senor
was well educated, and is able to speak
in I lie English language with the same
fluency that he does in his native
tongue. He said:
“1 have camped in swamps ami
thickets, and slept with pythons and
anacondas crawling all about m j . I
never thought of being afraid of them.
riii l stories told in books of immense
snakes attacking large animals and
men. coiling about them a id crushing
and swallowing their prey, are for the
most part exaggerations. It is true
that small animals are otten Killed and
swallowed whole by anacondas and
boa-e mstrictors; but it is sa'e to say
that no full-grown m in was ever made
a meal of by a serpent.”
“ Were you ever attacked by a ser
pent?" the reporter asked.
“ I never had one tackle me, but a
sailor with whom 1 was aemiainled had
a pretty severe experience. He was
walking in a thicket on one moonlight
night, twenty-five or thirty years ago,
when he suddenly found himself encir
cled with the folds of a tremendous
snake. 1 suppose he would have drawn
a knife from his pocket ami cut the
reptile in two, but unfortunately for
him he did not happen to have any cut
ting instrument with him at the time.
So all that was left for him to do was
to struggle and free himself the best
wav he could. He made a desperate
effort and loosened himself from what
was a very close embrace Once free,
he procured a stick and pounded the
anaconda upon its head until it was
dead. 1 here is a certain spot at the
base of a snake's head which, if struck
even a slight blow, will cause death.”
“Is an anaconda good for human
food ?”
“Now. that is a question which is very
hard to answer, it may be wholesome,
but 1 think it would be pretty tough
eating for any human being who h is an
ordinary set of teeth and the average
digestion. 1 think I would pre er good
beefsteak or a tenderloin if I wanted a
good square meal.”
“Is any kind of snake suitable for
food?”
“0, yes; rattlesnake-, an* delicious
ami wholesome. I have been in coun
tries where they formed a huge share
of the regular diet of the inhabitants.”
“ I’o what countries do you refer?”
“Well, sir, the people of Brazil and
< hili eat rattlesnakes: but you need not
go so far away from New York to find
serpent-eaters. The folks down in the
northern part of the State of Pennsyl
vania eat rattlesnakes. The serpents
in that State are particular!v plump,
and exceedingly inviting to the palate
of an epicure. According to the ortho
dox method, the rattler is skinned and
cut up into pieces about an inch or an
inch and a half long, and then fried the
same as you would cook an eel. I have
eaten rattlers lots of times. They taste
something like eels, only a great deal
sweeter. I prefer rattlesnakes to frogs
any day in the week. Frogs are in
sipid.”
“Did you ever see a pyramid of
snakes?”
“If you mean one of those conical
piles of reptile ;, such as Livingston saw I
in Africa. I will tell you that I neve.'
saw a pyramid; but I have seen aheap
or big knots of serpents all twisted and
entei twined in a wriggling, squirming,
slimy, hissing bunch. I was exploring
a cave in South America a few years
ago, when I came to a passage that was
so low and narrow that I was compelled
to get down and crawl upon my hands I
and knees. I had to hold my torch in
my teeth, and, as I could not manage
it very well, my light was extinguished,
and mv only alternative was to grope
along In darkness. Suddenly I felt
something cold and slimy against my
hands. I knew from the feeling that I
had touched a snake. Then 1 blindly
put my hands forward and thrust them
into a nest of serpents. You can be
lieve that I got out of that place as
speedily as possible.”— N. Y. Star.
The Popularity of Kissing*
In former years the practice of salut
ing ladies with a kiss seems to have been
very general, and many amusing anec
dotes of this social custom are on record.
It was, however, occasionally severely
censured as being open to abuse. Thus,
for instance, John Bunyan, in his “Grace
Abounding,” speaking of it, strongly
condemns it; “The common salutation
of women,” he says, “f abhor; it is
odious to me in whomsoever I see it.
When I have seen good men salute those
Women that they have visited* that
have visited them, I have made my ob
jections against it; and when they have
answered that it was but a piece of civ
ility, I have mode my objections against
It; I hav.e told them that it was not a
Comely sight. Some, indeed, have urged
the holy kiss; but then I have asked
them why they made balks? why they
did salute the most handsome, and let
the ill-favored go?” In spite, however;
of the censure poured On this old fashion
by even conscientious moralists of the
time, there can be no doubt that it found
favot in the eyes of most of the ladies
of our own and other countries. It has
been often remarked, with more of less
truth, that there are few of the fair sex
who are in their inmost heart indifferent
to the admiration paid to them in daily
life, and who would regard with disfa
vor a kiss politely offered to them from
Rome gallant swain whom, it may be,
they have captivated by their Countless
charms. History, we know, is daily re
eating itself, and it is difficult to be
eve that human nature is different
nowadays from what it was in yffars
gone by, although the manners of socie
ty may have undergone certain changes.
It is easy to criticise in unmeasured
terms the social usages of our predeces
sors, but, after all, it must not be for
gotten that in the present age the same
customs ere often as popular as ever;
the-only difference being that, instead
of having public recognition, they find a
tacit acceptance. It may be remem
bered how Cavendish, in his “Biography
of Cardinal Wolsey,” dwells on this
custom when describing his visit at
Mons. Crcqui’s Castle: “I being in a
fair great dining chamber,” he tells us,
“where the table was covered for din
ner, and there I attended my lady’s
coming; and after she came thither out
of her own chamber, she received me
most gently, like one of noble estate,
having a train of gentlewomen. And
when she with her train came all out,
she said to me: ‘For as much,’ quoth
she, ‘as yc be an Englishman whose
custom it is in your country to kiss all
ladies and gentlewomenwithoutoffen.se,
and although it be not so in this realm
(France), yet will I be so bold to kiss
you, and so shall all my maidens.’ By
means whereof 1 kissed my lady and all
her maidens.” Chaucer frequently al
ludes to this old custom, and our read
ers may recollect how in the “Somp
nour’s Tale” he notices the zeal with
which the holy father performs this act
of gallantry. When the mistress of the
house enters the room where he is busily
engaged in “grouping tenderly” her
husband’s conscience, we are told how—
He ns. m iq> tun currishly
Anil her emhnicetii in his urines narrow.
And kisseth hir sweet, and chtrketli like a
sparrow
With his lippos.
Shakespeare, again, introduces it, as
in the “Merry Wives of Windsor,”
where to kiss the hostess is indirectly
spoken of as a common courtesy of the
day In Lupton’s “London,” too
(lo 32 an established attraction of a
country inn, we are told, was a pretty
hostess or her daughter to salute the
guests, without which, it would appear,
there was small chance of its becoming
a popular resort for the customers of
that period.— Belgravia.
A Strange Sight.
The south-bound freight train on the
North Carolina Railroad ran over a ne
gro child about four years old, between
the Yadkin River bridge and Salisbury,
Saturday. The engineer saw it would
be impossible to stop the train before it
reached the spot where the child was
sitting, and, swinging himself out of the
window, started to crawl along the en
] gine to its front, with the intention of
picking up the child before the cow
catcher struck it. He would probably
have succeeded in this perilous under
taking, but a lunge of the engine caused
him to lose his balance, and he was pre
cipitate! down an embankment. He
hud hardly regained his feet before a
piercing scream was heard, and he
knew the child had been run down. The
engine stepped within its length after
striking the child, and then the horrible
task of pulling the mangled body out
from under the wheels began. The
body had been cut half in two as cleanly
as if done with a knife, the head part
falling to one side and the legs to the
other. A shudder ran through the en
gineer when he picked up the head and
body of the child, and the sensations he
experienced when it broke into a cry
were indescribable. He hastily laid it
upon the ground, when it uttered the
most agonizing screams for full two
minutes before it gave a gasp and died.
It was a strange experience to hear a '
dismembered body crying, and w as well
calculated to make the witnesses shud
der. The body of the child was turned
over to its mother, who lived in a cabin
near bv. — Charlotte Observer.
In a valiant suffering for others, not
in a slothful making others suffer for us,
did nobleness ever lie. The chief of men
is he who stands in the van of men,
fronting the peril which frightens back I
all others; which, if it be not vanquished, j
will devour the others. Every noble i
crown is, and on earth will forever be, a
crown of thorns,— Carlyle.

Mr. Rice, at a meeting of the West

ers often do things without thinking or
considering what the results may be.
Be knew a man once who had a steam
saw-mill, and a large pile of ashes and
sawdust had accumulated. He hired a
farmer to draw them away in winter,
who drew them on an old orchard,
spreading them three or four inches
thick. The orchard became very pro
ductive, and for seven years bore heavy
crops of very fair fruit

covered for a couple of hours, then take
each piece separately, dip it in batter
so that it is well covered with it and fry
a golden color in plenty of hot lard.
Lay the fritters in front of the tire, and
when all are done pile them up on a
napkin, shake plenty of powdered loaf

beef in thin slices, and put a layer on
the bottom of your dish, shake a little

chopped fine, then add another layer
of beef and seasoning until your dish is
