round hi boily and lulled imnsclf to sleep.
v nut' uiKing oi oreatiuai nexi morning,
Mr, primming, wh awoke much refreshed
from invigorating slumbens observed hit
men carry ing a very large serpent. On ;r.
proaching their master'. bedding "they hid
discovered the horrid reptile atmning it If
on the edge of the blanket, until on petci-w-ing
them it glided in beneath it." All ll'it
Mr. Cumming ha further ' to lay on tbe
subject, it to describe ilt character for l
benefit of any comparative anatomist to
whom the information may bo iutcrcatiiKj.
"Iiwa a largo apetimon pf the black va
riety of the puff adder, one of the mot poit
onona terpent of Afii.-u, dcuth ensuing
within on hour after it bite." '
Serpent, have no olianco at ny time
with the lioro of Altyre. . Hit encounter
with ft bo liow what may lie done in a
Cite of extremity. One day, follow ing the
truck of one of ftit monster, ho tuddeiily
(U troted an enormout old rock anake tteal
ing in beneath a ma.s of rock betide him.
This would t do at all. 'The hunter waa
detirtiut to preserve the akin, and for. the
reptile to anenfc away in to uncivil and in
liortpitablo a fihion wat a breach of good
mannert not to be forgiven. To thoot the
boa would iiave been to tpoil the cuticle.
Our hunter proceeded wi;h more ditcretion.
Ho cut a tough tick about eight feet long,
lighteneJ himself of hit ahooting belt, and
then weut to work. .Our reader will ap
preciate the delicacy wi'h which we request
Mr. Cumruing to fiuiah the ttiry in hit own
word: "Selling him by the tail (!)M to runt

"I tried to get him out of Ida jilnce of re

We have been favored ly a friend with
the following cdioice bit of Cupidical litera
ture, which we publish for the benefit of nil
and singular of our reader who may be
troubled, with the 'Valentine mania jutt at
this time, . They may rest assured that it
it a genuine document, and M as actually
"aitrned, tealcd and delivered." What makea
it more valuable is, that it it a leap-year per
formance tout by the affectionate "Mar
garate" to her jularky, "Jaeop."
I'crhnp we should ttate, by way of ex
planation, hft tho "twecte conversation"
alluded to was of that kind to which the
poet refers in the following verse:
fThrt wk, art w i ilnc mA-
J Cat lru d't Uw a ukut
' Oti jf, I wer, aueh It Mid
Wbwh li baft jwka." "
In other words, it ws a conyemtion
carried on through the medium of the eyes,
and coiisit"d of melting looks and heart
Touching syiir"Mrgara!e and "Jacop
were at a corn-shelling;"' and tho "toi-V
w at a red cob which "Margaret" threw at
"Jacop," and whicht of course, "Jacop"
llirew back again.
