A Boy Charmed By a Snake.
An Old But Good Story.
The following pretty story is nar
rated by Braner, who vouches for its
truthfulness.
In the great University of Upsala,
in Sweden, lived a young student, a
noble youth, with a great love for
studies, but without means for pursu
ing them. He was poor, without con
nections. Still he studied, living in
great poverty, but keeping a cheerful
heart, and trying to look pleasantly
at the future, which looked so grimly
at him. HiB good humor and excel
lent qualities made him beloved by
his cotnrade3.
One day he was standing at the
square with some of them, prattling
awayanhourof leisure, when their
attention was arrested by a young and
beautiful lady, who, by the side of an
elder one, was slowly walking over
place. It was the daughter of the
Governor of TJpsala, living in that
city, and the lady was her governess.
She was generally known for good
ness and gentleness of character, and
looked at with admiration by all the
students. As the young men stood
gazing at her as she went by, like a
graceful vision, one of them suddenly
exclaimed :
"Well, it would be worth something
to have a kiss from such a mouth. '
The poor student, the hero of our
story, who looked on that pure, angel
ic face, exclaimed as if by inspiration:
"I think! could have It."
"Well, well,' exclaimed his friends
In a chorus: "Are j'ou crazy ? Do you
know her?"
"Not at all," be answered, "but I
think she would kiss me if I asked
her."
"What, in this place aud before all
our eyes?''
"Yes."
"Freely?"
"Yes."
"Well, if she would give you a ki?B
in that manner I will give you a thou
sand dollars," exolaimed one of the
party.
"And I, and I," exclaimed two or
three others, for it happened several
rich men were in tke group, and bets
ran high on so improbable an event.
The challenge was made and received
in less time than we take to tell it.
Our hero (my authority tells not if
he wa3 plain or handsome ; I have
peculiar reasons for believing he was
rather plain, but singularly good look
ing at the same time) immediately
walked up to the young lady and said
"Mine fraulein, my fortune is now
in your bauds."
She looked at him in astonishment,
but arrested her footsteps.
He proceeded to state his name and
connection, his aspirations, and re
peated simply what had just taken
place between him and his comrades.
The young lady listened attentive
ly, and at his ceasing to speak, she
said blushingly, but with great sweet
ness: "If by so little a thing so much
good can bo effected, it would be fool
ish In me to refuse your request."
And publicly, in the open square,
ebe kissed him.
Next day the student was sent for
by the Governor. He wauted to see
the man who had dared to seek a kiss
from his daughter that way, and whom
she had consented to kiss.
He received him with a scrutinizing
how, but after an hour's conversation
was so pleased with him that he or
dered our hero to dine at his table dur
ing his studies at TJpsala.
Our friend pursued his studies in
such a manner that it soon made him
regarded as the most promising stu
dent In the university.
Three years are now elapsed since
the first kiss, when the young man
was allowed to give the second kiss to
the daughter of the Governor, as his
wife.
He became, later, one of the most
noted scholars in Sweden, and was
much respeoted for his character.
His words will endure while time
lasts among the works of science; aud
from this happj union sprang a fami
ly well known in Sweden at the pres
ent time, whose wealth and high po
sition in society are regarded as trifles
in comparison with their great good
ness andIove.
Subterranean.
Mr. Fleming, the well known hat
ter of Felix street, has been digging
a well at his residence, and after pass
ing through several strata of hard
clay, at the depth of sixty feet, the
workmen came to a bed of sand that
was perfectly alive with little red ants.
Whether these little travelers came
from the surface, or if they be Indig
enous to the bowels of mother earth,
does, not transpire. We do not doubt
the evidence of naturalists who tell
us of frogs and trllobltes which must
have rested for ages in the old sand
stone formation, but we have here an
ooular demonstration of animated na
ture at such depth below the surface
that we would naturally suppose it
oould not exist. Si. Joe. Herald.
A correspondent of the Reading
Daily Eagle, writing from Windsor,
Pa., gives the following remarkable
story of a large black snake charming
a small boy. 1 h e w ri ter says :
'For the past two weeks a son of
Allen Rogers, aged eleven years, a
wood cutter on the Blue Mountains,
about three miles from Hamburg, has
been In the habit of leaving his fath
er's house every morning about 9
o'clock and not returning till noon.
The parentsof the boy have question
ed him several times as to where he
went, the boy would reply, to play
with a neighboring boy named Sprin
ger. On Frida' last the father watch
ed his boy, and followed at a short
distance. When about half a mile
from the house the boy en tered a piece
of thick sprout land, in from the road
some two hundred yards, where he
seated himself upon a large rock, and
in less than ten minutes the father
was horrified at seeing a monster
black snake crawl on the rock and put
its head on the boy's lap. The father
states that the snake was the largest
he ever saw on the hills. He states
that it was easily fifteen feet long, and
as thick as his arm, which is well de
veloped. The boy had taken bread
with him and was feeding the snake,
which at short intervals would stick
out a large tongue, as if hissing for
more to eat. Then it would coil itself
around the neck and body of the boy,
aud play with the boy's hands with
its head and neck. The father had
often heard of snakes charming chil
dren, that if they were disturbed
while in the act they would kill the
child. As the father turned to leave
his boy with his deadly companion
he looked back, and the snake, hear
ing a noise, at once uncoiled itselfand
raised its body at least four feet from
the rock and looked in all directions,
and then it returned to the boy's lap.
The father returned home and await
ed the boy's return, which was, as
usual, at noon. When told that he
had been seen playing with the snake,
the boy said the first morning he met
the snake ho liked to play with it;
then he took it food, and he was so
much pleased with his companion
that something told him he must
meet the snake every morning. One
morning he said he was late, and
when he reached the place the snake
was standing up, and it came out to
meet him, then followed him to the
rock. On Saturday morning the fath
er and two of his neighbors went to
the place with guns, and at the usual
time the snake made its appearance,
when all fired atone time, killing the
charmer. On taking it home Mr.
Rogers found the above measurement
to be nearly correct.
There is something very strange
abouta snakecharming not only chil
dren, but I have heard of adults com
ing under their charms. There i3
certainly some truth in thefascijating
powers of snakes,"
TVhyPoor Stock Does Not Pay.
The follow iug dialogue, which we
find in the National Live Stock Jour
nal, illustrates the subjeot of stock
growing, in its relations to profit or
loss, in a way which no farmer can
fail to comprehend :
Stranger. What are farms worth in
this part of the country ?
Farmer. Well, about $50 per acre.
Was offered that for mine a few days
ago,
Stranger. I saw a statement in the
National Live Stock Journal, from
Messrs. Jas. N. Brown'sSons, that on
the gras3 plain that Is where cattle
run to graBS the whole year around
it takes four acres to carry a steer thro'
a year, Is that about right ?
Farmer. I do not take the paper
you speak of times are too hard to
permit a farmer to take papers but
the estimate of the Messrs. Brown is
just what I allow on this farm.
Stranger What kind of stock do
you graze?
Farmer. I have the common stock
of the country that's good enough
for me. I dou't want any of the new
fangled cattle on my farm.
Stranger. Well, this is my first
visit to these parts. I don't know any
thing about what kind of stock your
native cattle are, or how profitably
they can bo handled. Am looking
for a location hereabouts, and shall be
glad to get j'our idea about handling
stock here to the best advantage. At
what age do you market your steers ?
Farmer. I keep them until they
are four years old past.
Stranger. And what do they weigh
at that age ?
Farmer. Well, they varj', you see,
considerable. Some of them will go
1,200, and,others not quite so much.
Handling steers on grass is not as fa
vorable to extra heavy weightas grain
feeding; but then, you see, less labor
is required, and, on the whole, I am
of the opinion that it pays as well or
oetter than feeding grain.
Stranger. You sell in Chicago, I
presume? How do prices average?
Farmer. Well, we have to take
prices as we can catch them they are
up and down. If I have a good lot 1
sometimes get five and a half cents
per pound for them.
Stranger. What interest can be se
cured on money loaned here on mort
gages ?
Farmer. Well, ten per cent, is the
going rate.
Stranger. Then I guess I will not
invest in a farm, if I have got to han
dle these native steers you speak of.
That business will never do for me.
Farmer. Well, how bo?
Stranger. You callyourland worth
$50 an acre. It takes four acres, or
$200 worth of land to keep.a steer a
year. Money commands ten percent
and over; and so you should have $20
a year for inteaest on your $200 worth
of land. You keep your steers uutil
four years old and over; and they,
therefore, cost you $80 at the lowest
calculation. They weigh 1,200 pounds
and you sell them at five and a half
cents, after paying freight to Cb.Ica.go,
commission, exchange, eta., which
according to my arithmetic, makes
$66 a plump loss of $14, and the
freight to Chicago on every steer you
raise. If I was in your place I would
look up some newfangled stock, if
there is any to be fouud anywhere.
You would look a long way, I think,
before you would find anything else
that would do as poorly as the kind
you have. I am not surprised that
times are too hard to take a newspa
per. If you were to raise a steer or so
less you might have a little money to
spend.
Farmer. Weil, I never juet figured
It out before; but it does 6eem to me
that this thing of grazing these steers
its not quite as good as it ought to be.
But, could I do any better ou any
other kind?
Stranger. Why, of course you can,
Good grade short-horns will mature a
year younger; and, at $20 a year in
terest on your four acres of ground,
would cost you at three year old but
$60; and even if they weighed no
more at that age theu your scrubs do
at four, and even if they sold for no
more per pound, they would sell for
$66, leaving $6 profit, when the scrubs
make $14 loss a difference of $20.
Now, this is not all but I have not
got time to stop and discuss this ques
tion with you. I have a few old copies
of the Dive Stock Journal in my poc
ket, and I will leave them with you
and go on my way. If you glance
over them, you will find some excel
lent articles bearing on this subject.
Do not remember now just the full
particulars, but you will find it all
figured out there, the names of the
parties given, the prices paid in the
markets, etc.; from which you will
find that your grade Short-Horns at
three years will weigh something like
200 pounds more than your scrubs at
four, and that they sell for one to one
and a half cents per pound more in
the market. The grade short-horn
costing $60 to raise, by your showing,
will sell for $91 a profit of $31 while
your scrub makes a lossof $14. If you
handle one hundred steers a year,
there is, as I figure it up In my head,
about$4,500 difference between scrubs
and good grade short-horns. Good
morning.

The Summer Rose.
BY.ll. II. WILDE.
My life is like the summer rose,
That opens In the morning sky;
But ere the shades of evening close.
Is scattered on the ground to die.
Baton the rose's humble bed
ThesweeteBt dews of nightnre shed ;
As if she wept such waste to see;
But none shall weep a tear for ine.
My life is like the autumn leaf.
That trembles In the moon's pale ray;
Its hold is frail, its date is brief,
Restless and soon to pass away.
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade.
The parent tree shall mourn Its shade;
The winds bewail the leafless tree;
But none shall breathe a sigh for me.
My life Is like the print whlch;feet
Ilnve left on Tampa's desertjstrand ;
Soon as the "rising tide shall beat,
This track shall vanish from the sand.
Yet still, as grieving to ellaca
All vestage of the human race,
On that lone shore loud moans the sea ;
But none shall. e'er lament for me.
Story of p. Thousand-dollar Bank Note.
The death Josiah Cobb recalls a sin
gular incident of his life. About 1829
a colored woman named Sarah Ridge
ly called at Mr. Cobb's grocery and
purchased a small amount of groceries,
giving him a thousand-dollar bank
note in payment, thinking that it was
a one dollar note. Supposing that it
was stolen, he detained the bill and
advertised for au owner repeatedly;
but, no one claiming it, he invested
it In city stock. Several false claim
ants appeared for the note and it was
the subject of several lawsuits, which
terminetediu Mr. Cobb retaining cus
tod3'. The history of the claimants is
as follows :
Mr. Cobb one day was conversing
about the money with a man who
made so many particular inquiries
that Mr. Cobb mistrusted his motive,
and told him the woman was dark
and had a large wen on the side of
her neck when in fact she was a mu
latto, and had no such wen. Soon
after a dark woman with a large wen
on her neck appeared from the Balti
more alms-house and professed to be
the Sarah Ridgely, but the fr'aud was
easily exposed, aud up to this time the
woman who left the bank note has
not been heard from. Mr. Cobb al
lowed the money to remain with ac
cumulated interests until 1866, when
it amounted $3,740, and then he pre-,
sented itto the Union Orpan Asylum.

Advance Guard of the Great Army or
Progression,
Strong from the nourishment of long years of gooi
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
When the question was presented between Treason and
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes and
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause of Union
and an undivided country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year,
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction, and
at the same foe, that they shot leaden bullets, for the
mission of the Republican party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not yet
passed, American progress has not yet ended. Other
labors, to save what has been gained, lie before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heartily cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank of the Republican platform of Ohio "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and believes that the safety of the Nation lies in the
full recognition of this doctrine. From the attitude or
the opposition, the duty of every Republican is obvious.

AS -A. FJLTMJULT5T PAPER,
The Advertiser is conceded to have no superior, and
few equals, if any, in the State ; and we assure our
readers that it shall be kept up, in every respect, equal
to its present standard of excellence, until we make it
better by various improvements which we have in view
just so soon as times improve among the people fi
nancially so as to justify us in making such improve
ments. At the commencement of the volume just closed
we promised our patrons that The Advertiser should
be in the future a better family paper than it had ever
been before ; that we filled our columns not with old
"dead" advertisements, but with choice reading pre
pared with care for a variety to suit the general reader.
Our readers will concede that we have lived up to this
promise. We have for the last year carried more
reading matter than any other weekly in the State,
demonstrating that our ambitious declarations are not
an empty blow, and that we do not make promises
onlv to break them.
AS A LOCAL PAPER.
We have an especial pride in making an acceptable
local paper, embracing in this feature the entire countv
of Nemaha first, then Southern Nebraska and the
State ; thus making it a most desirable medium forcir
culat on in other States amongst those desiring correct
information regarding Nebraska, and her claims to con
sideration as a young State with all the inherent quali
ties of greatness.
