ONE OF THE SNAKE STORIES.
Nearly fifty years have passed since I
w.is firsi heard lo cry—many changes
have conic over society since that time.
Twenty'five years ago it was not thought
umiss to phy a little innocent trick for
your own amusement or for the'amuse
ment of others. No one dubbed you with
the epithet of ‘ wag,’ or thought you ‘in
the broad road to ruin,’ hut he 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 ‘ lie is a
smart fellow, and if he lives, will make a
great man.* The order of the day was
to ‘ laugh and grow fad— ba happy your
self and make all around you happy.
In musing over my young days, not
long since, for something to 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 nl tile bar
—of fine personal appearance, and
noted for bis moral and physical courage
—but lie was awfully afraid of snakes.—
Whenever lie went about in ‘Snake time,’
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 linen, fall in, and hav..
wig an easy conscience would soon be
fast asleep ; he always slept behind.
One day, as lie passed through the
hack yard of the laven, l saw old aunt
Molly denning the bowels of a pig.—
Knowing I’s nntipaihy of snakes, I told
aunt 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 lo my room
and place it ill a pan of water, and put it
in the closet.
‘ Yon must *av nothing about it aunt
! no, Massa, not a word.’ 1 hand
ed jjer the half dollar and passed on.
’wmy return to mv room, 1 looked
into Bie Gioset deposited Lui
mint Molly as directed, safe and sound.
Night came on and the usual bed hour
tound I in bed, and fast asleep. I
undressed, went to the closet, took out
the gut from the pan—finding it very e
lastie, and hearing much of the serpen
tine motions of the snake. I went to bed
with it in my hand, and drew the sheet
over ui. I commenced giving! mv
first lesson by way of 4 snake crawling,’
by passing the bowel on his leg. I felt
its convulsive motion and withdrew it, for
1 desired not to arouse him too suddenly,
but by frequent and slight touches to set
him to dreaming about snakes. On the
second application he 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 by his moaning that bis spirits
were moved. 1 now applied it to the oth
er leg, and no sooner had 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 back, giving it all the serpentine mo
tjon possible. With convulsive bound,
be cleared the bed, carrying the sheet
with him, and bawling at the top of his
voice : 4 Snake ! snake ! snake !’
4 Where ?’ said I.
l ln that bed you and and fool—get
out or you’ie 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
his speed clearing several steps at each
bound. By the lime he returned I had
deposited the instrument of torture, safe
in the pan of water in the closet and shut
the door. He soon returned with the ennv
die, and examined every part of the room,
but could find no snake, i persuaded
him that lie was dreaming, adding that
rireajjM were as bad as realities. This
satisfied him, and he retired to bed.
Ji iv:is some time before lie could sleep,
and when he did was cpiite restless. I
could not move but that he would kick.
At last he fell into the arms of the ‘ sweet
restorer,’ and slept soundly. 1 silently
repaired to the closet—obtained my put,
and returned to bed. He was on his back
stretched full length with his legs close
together. I commenced my operation
by passing the bowel up between bis legs.
He suddenly threw his head and knees al
most together, no part touching the hed
but a small portion of the back, he then
landed in the middle of the flour on his
hands and knees, shouting— 1 Again, a
gain, again !’ and down he bolted for an
other candle.
Before his return the bowel was repla
t&n the closet, and the door shut, and I
bed Vifiv 00 toe floor. He examined the
to touch ,actions showed he “ as afraid
part of the roki e l * ,cn examined every
found. As he an{J’ no ®nake was to be
put his hand on lhe.tf' lec * die closet and
observed that , t w “* -<f the door, he
opened th e dour. He hi \’ j^an6 , ’ , an, J
tornell his dark, <ul then
and his eyes darting fire. J felt cons
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 sll the rage in those days. So
soon as rfbarotild open his mouth there fi ll
upon me a storm of imprecations, lie look’
ed like the devil, and 1 trying to appear
as innocent as a lamb. My mind was
busy about an explanation. When be
was about to leap upon me, I said, smil
ing, and in a gentle tone ‘ 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 ?’
I replied, ‘ lie sleeps soundly and is
hard to wake. You bold up liii head,
and I will tie the bowel, cravat fashion,
in a hard knot around his neck. You
then go down, wake tip the bar keeper,
and stay there. I will get under the bed
on tny hands and feet; and with my back
keep pushing up until he awakes.’ -
‘ That will do,’ said lie, ‘come on.’
This W was a large, fat, fuii'lov
ing creature, weigliingahoui 250 pounds.
We passed on to W ’s room, and had
no difficulty in arranging the bowel a
round Ins neck. I went down to,
the barroom and I under the bed. I
hunched and he snored—l still hunched
but he still snored on with a snort. At
length he snored milder and milder, un
der the frequent hunrhings, 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 lie run
down stairs would be wrong, for he roll,
lie tumbled down. 1 was close after
him. He rushed into the bar-room, yelp
ing, help ! help ! for God’s sake help !’
As lie entered, I asked what was
the matter ?
4 I’ve got the longest snake around my
neck you ever saw , and J’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. 4 I’ll be sneeszed if I ever let go
Jhis bolt, he will bite then to a certainty.’
|ll|B|JU'r enjoying ourselves with him for
some time.jhe bar-keeper, at W ’s
suggestion, took a knife, went behind
W , and passing hissknife between
his neck and the supposedßpake, cut it
asunder. No one can ’s
surprise, when lie saw wliat was in his
hand. At last he broke into a hearty
laugh, saying, 4 Well, boys, 1 never was
so scared in my life.’
We all then enjoyed it, and the story
supplied the villagers with food for laugh
ter sor some time. —Nashville Gaztlle.
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; she looks as charming as
when the rose of youth bloomed on her
cheek. That rose lias not faded yet; it
will never fade. In her family she is the
life and delight. In her neighborhood
she is the friend and benefactor. In the
rliuich, the devout worshiper and the ex
emplary Christian. Who does not re
spect and love the woman who has passed
her days in acts 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
tain the bloom and beauty of youth, let
her love truth and viitue; and to the
close of life she w ill 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 the example of London with
regard to lodging-houses for the poor.
A society has 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 for the children of poverty and
toil, not only in Paris, but if possible, in
every large city of the 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 fora single chamber
iu unwholesome houses. Heaven prosper
all such undertakings!

of the most voluble things in the world, and
was about to will them away, the following

CANCERS CAN BE CURED I!
IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED!
A MONO the many important discoveries and improve
mente of the present age, the undersigned has it in
his power to offer to those afflicted, a remedy for Cancer ,
a disease heretofore deemed incurable. This remedy

made successful in his own trial and
failure of all other popular remedies within liis reach*—
Who, together with the undersigned Imve. made appli
cation of said remedy to many cases with astonishing
success. Tliis remedy is free from all mineral, or vege
table poisons, and lias been applied witn safety and suc
cess to Cancer of the tongue.
This remedy is deemed certain in its happy effect, if
timely application is made, before the disease reaches in
ternal organs, or the case aggravated by improper rem
edies.
Caution.— I The undersigned has been an eye witness
to many rases of this dreadful malady, and has seen
various methods of treatment, and believes all proposi
ions to cure without pain, as delusive, as no such case
has met his observation. , ■
There are some cases, from the organs implicated, ad
vanced age of the patient, or from misapplication, that
render them hopeless, even to the remedy now offered to
the public; , . 4 ,
All persons who apply in person or by written de
scription of their case giving its size, location,age, gen
eral health and hahits, together with the remedies that
have been used, may expect a candid answer as to the
result of their case. ,

Read the following testimony from a
Physician.
Gintlkmen—Your Hebrew Plaster has cured me of
pains of which I have suffered for twelve years past.—
During tliis period 1 labored under an affliction of my
loins and side, and tried many remedies that my own
medical experience suggested, but without obtaining re
lief. At length I used your Plaster, and am now by its
good effects entirely cured. I will recommend the Jew
David or Hebrew Plaster to all who are suffering from
contraction of the muscles, or permanent pains m the
side or back.
The people of Georgia have but to become acquainted
with its virtues when they will resort to its use.

the Ist of July. 18484 was so bad that 1 could not turn
myself in bed, and the pain so severe that I had not
slept a wink for six days. At this time my attending
physician prescribed the “Hebrew Plaster ” and it acted
like a charm; the pain left me, and I slept more than
Half of the night, and in threedays 1 was able to ride
out. I consider the “Hebrew Plaster” the best remedy
for all sorts of pains now in use. G. W. M’MINN.

SICKLY AND UNHAPPY WIVES.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Dayton, O.
“Dayton, Msy 1,1847.
“ Dr. A. M. MAURICIAU— My Dear Sir: • The
Married Woman's Privnte Medical Companion,’ for
which I enclosed one dollar to your address, came
•afely to hand. I would not hare troubled you with
these few lines, but that 1 am impelled by a seme
of gratitude, for myself and wife, to give utterance
to our sincere and heartfelt emotions.
“ My wife has been perceptibly sinking for some
three years or more, in consequence of her great an
guish and suffering some months before and during
confinement; every successive one more and more
debilitated and proatrated her, putting her life ill im
minent danger, and which was, on the last occaaion,
deapaired of. I supposed that thia Mato of things waa
inevitable, aud resigned myself to meet the worst.
At this time (now about two months) I heard your
book highly spoken of. ns containing some matiers
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, i cen
nut 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
meaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to
me which 1 little conceived was possible. No pecu
niary coaaideration can ever repay the obligations I
am under to you for having been the means of im
parting to ua the matters contained iu • The Mamed
Woman's Private Medical Companion.’ But for
thia, ere another year would have pasted over my
head, in all human probability my wife would hare
bean in her grave, and my children left moiherlaaa.
Extract from a Lettor.
Competence and Health.
“Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 24, 1847.
“My Dear Sir: I know you will have the kind
ness to bear with me in encroaching upon your time,
while I behalf of myself and wife)
the obligations wo /eel 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
■ee that I can not do so too warmly, when I inform
vou of the extent to which I have, through it, been
benefited. 1 will state my situation when I obtained
you* book through the merest curiosity I look upon
it M one of the most fortunate events of n>y life. I
had been married loipe ten years, and waa the father
of seven children. I was long struggling unceasingly,
to the end thst 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 most stinted economy, suffi
cing 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 comma
ance, while I felt the necessity of perseverance.
“ This constant, unceasing struggle on nay part waa
imperative, in consequence of the prostrated condi
tion 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 aud manage
ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from
causes of which I was ignorant. Oh! what would
1 have given had I the six years to live over again !
What would my wife have given to have been spared

DANGEROUS DELIVERIES,
OBSTRUCTIONS, IRREGULARITIES, fcC
How many are suffering from obstruction or irrcg
ularitics peculiar to tlie female ayatem, which un
dermine their health, the effects of which they are
ignorant, and for which their delicacy forbids seeking
medical advice! How many suffer from prolapive
uteri (falling of the womb), or from Jluor-albut (weak
ness, debility, dec., Ac) 1 How many are in constant
agony for many months preceding confinement! How
many have diflicult if not danuerous deliveries, and
whose lives are jeoparded during such time, will Hud
In its pages the means of prevention, amelioration,
and relief!
Extract from a Letter.
To those just Married.—“ Had I known!”
“PHil.Anii.rHU, Nov. 29, 1847.
“Dk. A. M. Mauhickau : Had 1 known of the im
portent matters treated of in ‘The Married Woman's
Private Medical Companion’ some years ago. how
much misery I might have escaped 1 I have suffered
years from causes which you point out in your book,
without knowing what to do. 1 obtained a copy, and
found my case treated of. I trust every female will
avail herself of the information contained in its pages.”
tetters are daily received of this character, unne
cessary to present.
To those yet unmarried, but contemplating mar
riage, or perhaps hesitating as to the propriety of
inc-oving the responsibilities attendant upon it, the
Importance of being possessed of Hie revelations con
tamed In these pages, so intimately involving their
future happiness, can not be appreciated.
It is, of course, impracticable to convey more fullv
the various subjects treated of, as they are of a na
lure strictly intended for the married, or those con
templating marriage; neither is it necessary, since
It is every one a duly to become possessed of know!-
edge whereby the sufferings to which a wire, a moth
er, or a sister, may be subject, can be obviated.

A observance of the rule*, the preservation
