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!

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 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 the long days and still longer nights prostrate on a bed of sickness! all of which would have been avoided, had 1 then seen a copy of ‘Tiie Married Woman’s Private Medical Companion.”’ From a Physician, 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!

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.

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. or Copies will be sent by Mall free efroatnsie to the Pnrchnaer* ty On the receipt of One Dollar.
