Shortly bcfore tho usual tuiic. for tvcntling

had to undergo the same inflictions as the
day previous, until thoroughly vexed, I made
the-nt dc-sisrand resolved bencefoith I would
conceal his presence and allow him to travel
as common baggage. ,
‘ “ 'l‘._hc shades of night were filling fast,”
as the steamer“ Con,<,zress” came booming by,
and after a detention of :1 few minutes for pas-
scngers, proceeded on her way, obtaining
none, however, except myself The snake--box
was placed with the other baggage, on the
cabin deck; in front of the ‘social hall,’_i-am
up, as luck would have it, against one ofthe
chiinneys, tnaktog the location unplcasamly
warm, li was one of ?.l10Se('.l€.til‘, luminous
riiglits in autumn, when not a cloud tlirns the
flZUl'l~‘, and the heavens so “ beautifully blue”
(alas poor i\'eal.) an-. f_:l6’Z1mltl«_{ with their
myriad stzars, when the laughiiig brct-zo lifts
tho hair from the brow, and presses the check
with as soft (I IOUL'l] as the plllpy lips of a
maiden in her first essay at kissing. The
clear, croupy cottgli of the steamer" was ecli-
oed hut-It in prolonged asthmatic strains from
the dark woods lining the river, like an ur-
my of Cowlcd gigantic monks coriie from
their cellsto see a steamboat. Supper was
over, and the beauty of the night had enticed
the majority oftlie passengers front the cab-
in to the open deck.
A goodly nunibcr, myselfainnng the rest,
were seatod in front of the social hall, smok-
ing our cigars, and swapping yarns of‘~ull
clitncs, sizes, nations atil colors:
Sitting ii few yards from mc,tlie most prom-

boqui-, and l'Pgtlllflg the crowd with the inatt-
ncr in which he chuaked zi “Cobro de Ca-
p:-llo” to death that crawled into his ham-
mock in India, was an old English sailor,
who, from his own account, had sailetl ()Vt‘l'
all the world, and :lti'titigli SOIDP parts of it.
VV--igliing tht-. words down with a hoary
ballast of oaths, he said “ he wasn’t afraid
of anything‘ in thc snake line, from the sea-
scrpcnt down to tlieorigiual Sl’]'dl{r' that tempt-
ed Eve” lfl$'l\’t-‘tl him if he had ever met

The horror of that moment I shall not at-

Not knowing but a similar fate migrblsoon
be mine, in :igoti_V.' with the cold sweat
strcatning ovcr me, I listened to his infer-
rial recital of an |llS’l1[‘.Ct-‘. of the sutiimziry

The sailor must again have tnoved his

his infernal rattling recornmenced, and this
