Mr, Henry, who'is ss ingenious ag] he is fond of sport, declared that he would rattle the rats out of his friend's cellar in a little less than no time, fo use his own expression, Ha said he possessed something that was as far ahead of traps, poison, ferrets, and a} other diseases which the rat flesh is heir to, asa Martini-Henry rifle is ahead ofa matchlock, The next day the fwo gentlemen got into a buggy and drove to the gentleman's house (we are requested to sup- press his name) in Dumfries, Mr Henry took with him a common quarter-gross match-box, piejoed with a tew holes, which he placed carefully in fhe seat of the buggy. The Dumfries gentleman, feeling that his friend was going to give him a surprise, probably with some improvement on a ferret asked no questions, the better to enjoy the surprise when jt did come. Arrived at the house they had dinner, and, after the ladies had retired and the table was cleared off, Mr Henry placed his box very carefully under the stove, and commenced a lively discus- gion on the virtues of deep ploughing, by way of keeping his friend cool. He, how- ever, became impatient that tke fyn should commence, , and hinted as much to Mr. Henry, who. placed the box on the table rapidly and removed the lid. In an instant | from the box leaped a full grown garter snake, measuring three feet and half in length. The reptile, which was highly ex- cited with the heat, reared itself almost on | game of seven-up. for him 'v, | réed,' said the old man. ie ho would bortven. out of house sn| BIT at. take him, but they were out of sion. ey, aud couldn't buy. : The old'man' Pines | "id bo hated to go on to town With!" | ; only one chich, and puzzled about it.

Way Honesty.--The other day a crowd in attendance ata horse sale were greatly astonished to hear the auctioncer say; 'Gentlemen, I the extremity of its tail and glided about to the table with remarkable rapidity, licking its ghastly jaws with its forked and nimble tongue, The Dumfries gentleman almost shrieked with fear, and shrank back into the corner almost petrified with horror.-- Mr Henry showed how silly this, was taking the snake upon his arm and, handling it much asa hack driver would his whip lash. His fears were finally over- come, and when he had composed himself heled 1 isfriend to the cellar where the snuke had discovered a hole into which it glided | with the greatest ease. An interested ter- rier stood at their heels, and both gentlemen held a handfull of clubs, which were trumps ' just about then, The Snake had not dis~ appeared over a minute before half a dozen rats bounced out of the hole and met a ter- rible fate at the hands of their enimies out_ side. But the' spake was not satisfed ; it discovered every rat hole in the cellar id glided out and in among the rocks where even a cat could not Rave gone. It was finally taken up and plaCed ina box after twenty rats and alinost as many mice had been killed or taken prisoners. The Dume fries gentleman said he never saw his tarrier enjoy himselfso much before and as for him- selthe hasn't had as much fan since he ran for councilman, ; The snake belongs to a black garter family and are really the best friend the farmer has got. They live exclusively on field mice, worms, flies and other vermin, and if they occasionally swallow a forg or dine on a couple of young birds, or accidentally glide into the pathway of a human being, their lives should be preserved, as their good qualities counter-balance these defects .-- "The one posessed by Mr Henry was captured by him last summer in pea a field, and since he has had it no rats are seen or heard of in the neighborhood of the house. The rep- tile is kept in a box as before stated, and is fed on liver, ------l SOs. What flower would finish a draw. ing room best? Ans.--Rose would.

The horse was joss down to acitizen who had been i greatly struck by the auctioneer's { honesty, and after paying for the Ihorse he said; You were 'Honest | enough totell me that this animal | was blind in one eye. Is there any {other defect?" ¢ Yes, sir, there is.-- {He is also blind in the other eyel' was the prompt reply. ---- A noble fellow that tramp was {who returned a five dollar bill he 'said he had found in an old vest a | Norwich gentlemen had given him. His honesiy was rewarded with a one dollar bill, and the next day the five turned out to be a counterfeit. A certain colored deacon, on occa- sions of missionary collections, was wont to shut his eyes and sing, 'Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel,' with such earnestness and unetion that he would quite forget to see the plate as it came around. 'Oh yes!" sald the plate bearer, 'but just Rive something to make it fiy.'
