ONE OF THE SNAKE STORIES. Nearly fifty years have passed since 1 w.ss first heard to cry—many changes have come over society since that time. Twemy>five years ago it was not thought utniss to play a little innocent trick for your ow n amusement or lor the amuse ment of others. N o one dubbed you with the epithet of ‘ wag,’ or thought you ‘in the broad road to ruin,’ hut lie that could bring the greatest fund of amusement to the circle in which he moved, was ever considered a good fellow. The elder portion of society would soy ‘he is a smart fellow, and if lie lives, will make a great man.’ The order of the day was to ‘ laugh and grow fat*— be happy your self and make all nround you happy, In musing over tny young dnjs, not long since, for soqielliingito amuse me, I found myself in the midst of ‘ a trick’ I played a young room-mate of mine. He was a lawyer by profession, talented, and occupied a very high position at tin* bar —of fine personal appearance, and noted for his moral and physical courage —but he was awfully afraid of snakes.— Whenever lie went about in ‘Snake lime,* he was ever looking out for them. Our room was on the second floor of the tav ern, having a closet in it—we slept to gether. When sleeping hour came he would strip to his firten, fall in, and hay., wig an easy conscience^would soon be fast asleep ; he always slept behind. One day, as he passed through the back yard of the taven, l saw old aunt Molly cleaning the bowels of a pig.— Knowing I’s antipathy of snakes, I told anot Molly 1 would give her a half dollar if she would clean about three or four feet of the small bowels, tie it tight at one end. and having blown it full of wind, tie it at the other end, then take it to my room und place it in a pan of water, and pul it in the closet. ‘ You must sav nothing about it aunt •TUoU.v.’ •;yj&Qli ! no, Mas, not a word.’ 1 hand ed I|er the half dollar and passed on. Onfmy return to mv room, 1 looked into l|ie deposited y mint Molly as directed, safe and sound. Night came on and the usual bed hour found I in bed, and fast asleep. 1 undressed, went to the closet, look out the gut from the pan—finding it very e lastic, and hearing much of the serpeu line motions of the snake. I went to bed with it in my hand, and drew the sheet over us. I commenced giving 1 my first lesson by way of ‘ snake crawling,* by passing the bowel on his leg. I fell ..its convulsive motion and withdrew it, for 1 desired not to arouse him too luddenlv, but by frequent and slight touches to set him to dreaming about snakes. On the second application lie kicked —l now de sisted awhile, and concluded that 1 had aroused the nervousness of that leg so much that 1 would try the other. It was evident bv his moaning that his spirits were moved. 1 now applied it to the oth er leg, and no sooner bad it touched it than lie gave a tremendous kick and snorted. 1 now became fearful that he would awake, and at once applied it to his hack, giving it all the serpentine mo< tion possible. With convulsive bound, he cleared the bed, carrying the sheet with him, and baw ling at the top of bis voice : 4 Snake ! snake ! snake !* • Where ?’ said I. ‘in that bed you and and fool—get out or you’re a dead man. Out I jumped, 1 requested him to run down and light a candle (matches not then in use.) Off he went at the top of bis speed clearing several steps at each bound. By the time lie returned I had de[ osited the instrument of torture, safe in the pan of water in the closet and shut the door. He soon returned with the can\ die, and examined every part of the room, but could find no snake. 1 persuaded him that lie was dreaming, adding that dreajji* were as bad as realities. This satisfied him, and lie retired to bed. it was some time before lie could sleep, and when he did was quite restless. I could not move but that he would kick. At last lie fell into the arms of the 4 sweet restorer,’ and slept soundly. 1 silently repaired to the closet—obtained my gut, and returned to bed. He was on his hack stretched full length with his legs close .together. I commenced my operation by passing the bowel up between his legs. He suddenly threw his head and knees al most together, no part touching the lied but a small portion of the back, he then landed in the middle of the floor on his hands and knees, shouting— 4 Again, a gain, again !’ and down he bolted for an other candle. Before his return the bowel was repla- the closet, und the door shut, and I bed b<Fv 0,1 ,be fl° or ’ He examined the to touch %, ac, i°ns showed he was afraid part of lhe ’roo!.

He " and turned his dark, fierce eve , „ n lh “ eyed the contents of the pan in thecTol? He then turned to me, grinding his teetit together, his face almost tied into a knot, ’ and his eye* darting fire. J felt com detnned and absolutely alarmed. 1 knew that unless I could give another direction to his feelings I should soon be knocked down, bit, and gouged, biting and goug ing were fall the rage in those slays. So soon as ffbscould open his mouth there fell upon me a storm of imprecations, he look’ ed like the devil, and 1 trying to appear as innocent ae a lamb. My mind was busy about an explanation. When he was about to leap upon me, I said, smil ing, and in a gentle lone ‘ W—— is sleeping in the other room, let us have some fun out of him !’ He caught the idea, and in an instant was harmless. He observed, ‘ how ?’ 1 replied, ‘ lie sleeps soundly and is hard to wake. You hold tipliis head, and I will lie the bowel, cravat fashion, in a hard knot around his neck. You then go down, wake up the bar keeper, and stay there. I will get under the bed on mv hands and feet; and with my back keep pushing up until he awakes.’ ‘ That w ill do,’ said he, ‘ come on.’ This W was a Inrge, fat, fun*!ov ing creature, weighings bout 250 pounds. We passed on to W ’s room, and had no difficulty in arranging the bowel a round fit's neck. I went down to, the barroom and I under the bed. I hunched and he snored I still hunched but he still snored on with a snort. At length he snored milder and milder, un der the frequent hunchings, and at last all was quiet for a moment. He landed out of bed with a force that shook the build ing from top to bottom. To say he run down stabs would be wrong, for he roll. yl, he tumbled down. 1w as close after him. He rushed into the bar room, yelp ing, help ! help ! for God’s sake help !’ As he entered, I asked what was the matter ? ‘ I’ve got the longest snake around my neck you evet saw, and i’ve got him by the head,’ said he, holding the knot of the bowel lightly grasped in his hand. I told him to let go and he would run a a way. 1 I’ll be sneeszed if I ever let go Jhis holt, he will bite then to a certainty.’ Hyic-r enjoying ourselves with him for some tiinaa the bar-keeper, at VV ’ suggestion, took 4 a knife, went behind W , and passing his Jtnife between bis neck and the supposed spake, cut it asunder. No one can ’s surprise, when he saw what was in his hand. At last he broke into u hearty laugh, saying, ‘ Well, boys, 1 never was so scared in my life.’ We till then enjoyed it, Bttd the story supplied the villagers with food for laugh ter sor some time.— Nashville Gazelle. A good woman never grows old. Years may pass ove her head, but if be nevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring of life first opened to her view. When we look upon a good woman we never think of her age; site looks as charming as when the rose of youth bloomed on her cheek. That rose has not faded yet; it will never fade. In her family she is the life and delight, /n her neighborhood she is the friend and benefactor. In the rhuich, the devout worshiper and the ex emplary Christian. Who does not re spect and love the woman who has passed her days in nets of kindness and mercy; whose whole life has been a scene of kindness and love, a devotion to troth and religion? We repeat, such a woman cannot grow old, She will always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active in bumble deeds of mercy and benevo lence. If the young lady desires to re lain the bloom and beauty of youth, let her love truth and virtue; and to the close of life she will retain those feelings which now make life appear a garden of sweets, ever fresh and ever new. A noble Charity. — Paris is about to imitate (lie example of London with regard to lodging-houses for the poor. A society lias been formed, which already comprises eleven hundred members, ma ny of them men of wealth and rank, the object being to build comfortable tene ments lor the children of poverty and toil, not only in Paris, but if possible, in every large cily of ihe Republic. The capital of this society is to be six millions of francs, or two hundred and forty thous and pounds sterling. It is under the pat ronage of the President, who is said to take a lively interest in its success. Its aim, says La Prerse, is to provide for the residents of our cities wholesome, well aired lodgings, at prices below those which they now pay for a single chamber iii unwholesome houses.

At this time my attending physician prescribed the “Hebrew Plaster,” and itaetei like a charm; the pain left me, and 1 slept more than half of the night, and in three days I was able to ride out.

I would not havo troubled you with these few lines, but that 1 am Impelled by a sense of gratitude, for myself and wife, to give utterauce to our sincere and heartfelt emotions. “ My wife has been perceptibly sinking for some three years or mure, in consequence of her great an guish and suffering some months before and during confinement; every auccesaive one more and more debilitated and prostrated her, putting her life in im minent danger, and which was, on the last occasion, despaired of. I supposed that this stato of tilings was inevitable, aud resigned myself to meet the worst. At this time (now about two montliß) 1 heard your book highly spoken of. as containing some matters reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, 1 can not express to you the relief it afforded my* distressed mind and the joy its pages imparted to my wife, on learning that the great discovery of M. M. Deso meanx provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to me which I little conceived was possible. No peon niary coasideration can ever repay the obligations I am under to yon for having been the means of im parting to us the matters contained in - The Married Woman's Private Medical Companion.’ But for this, ere another year would have passed over my head, in all human probability my wife would bare been in her grave, and my children left motherless. Extract from a Utter. Competence and Health. “Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 24, 1847. “My Dear Sir: I know you will hare the kind ness to bear with me in encroaching upon your time, while I behalf of myself and wife) the obligations wo feel ourselves under to you in hav ing made known certain matters, contained in your most invaluable ‘Married Woman’s Private Medical Companion.’ It has been worth its weight in gold to me. If I express myself rather warmly, you will see that I can not do so too warmly, when I inform rDU of the extent tp which I have, through it, been enefited. 1 will state my situation when I obtained your book through the merest curiosity I look upon it as one of the most fortunate events of nay life. 1 had been married lume ten years, and was the father of seven children. I was long struggling unceasingly, to the end that I might gain a moderate competency, but the results of my utmost exertions at the end left me about where I was at tho beginning of each year; and that only, with the moat stinted economy, auffi dug with barely the necessaries of life. Finally, this constant effort was beginning to have its effect upon my health: I felt less capable to endure its continu ance, while 1 felt the necessity of perseverance. “ This constant, unceasing struggle on my part was imperative, in consequence of the prostrated coniil- lion of my wife (with occasional intermission) for six years, much of the time confined to her bed, and of course incapable of taking the charge and manage ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from causes of which I was ignorant. Oh! what would I have given had I the six years to live over again! What would my wife have given to have been spared the long days and still longer nights prostrate on a bed of sickness! all of which would have been avoided, had I then seen a copy of ‘The Married Woman's Private Medical Companion."’ From a Physician, DANGEROUS DELIVERIES, OBSTRUCTIONS, IRREGULARITIES, fcC How many are suffering from obstruction or irreg ularitios peculiar to the female system, which un dermine their health, the effects of which they rib ignorant, and for which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice!
