1 concluded to walk in the nrocesssion, but resolved
not to vield to temotation. I did so and returned to
the place where we were dismissed, a perfectly sober
man. i went into a tavern with others ror me purpose of resting. While sitting, I began to feel hungry. I stepped to the bur and called for oysters and crackers. These made me thirsty, and without thinking of my danger, I turned round and called for a glass of ale. Before night I was carried home beast
ly drunk! Nor was I sober again, till the 12th of
June following, a period of about six weeks! Du1 r'nS ibis .time, I frequentlyjhreatened rny own 1ife. My wifeand family were broken-hearted. I often found myself lucked in my room upon my knees presuming to pray that. I might yet be saved. I was like a lone mariner upon desolate, island, with no sail in sight, and no means of escape. On that ever memorable morning of the 12th of June, as I lay in my bed, if bed it could be called, trying to place my mind upon some hope, my daughter came up and asked me down to breakfast. I feared to see the day-Iight--I feared the darkness I feared to look in the glass at, my bloated condition. I hated my own person, and I thought tny family hated me too. My daughter raised the bed clothes which were thrown over my head, and with a heart gushing with tenderness, said, "0, father, don't send for whiskey to-day." I ordered her to leave the room. After she had been gone for some time, I peeped from under the clothes, and found that she had ajrain entered the room. She was sobbing pitifully This?.' thought I, is too much for human nature to bear. I called her
to the bedside, and throwing my arms round her neck, promised her that would never drink any more rum. She left the room I L"t up. rushed to the cupboard, seized a bottle, and was about to drown my sufferings in its contents. But I could not I set it down, and rushed down stairs. Misery and wretchedness was within, and poverty without. No friends no bread. I said to my wife, "I can't stand it this burning thirst within." "Drink only a little," said she. "Can't, drink a little." . '"Then don't drink any." "Well, iam'tIwsTI never mil drink again." I stood it till the next Monday, when there was to be a meeting of the Washington Temperance Society
as yet. unknown to the public and I made up my mind to go and join. The meeting was held in the third story of an old brick building. My old bottle companions were rejoiced to see rne. The pledge was soon read, and I walked to the table, took up a pen and wrote my name. No sooner had I done this, than an indescribably pleasant feeling sprung up within me. And from that day to this, I have never tasted of the accursed Ihiiiu. . .
had 'other fish to fry,' so making a concentrated rush up to the Post Office window, they succeeded in squeezing the Iloosier out. After getting on the pavement, lie uttered his sentiments in tho following
style: j You're all a passel of high pressure horse leaches! Vmi'rn n rnp.nn flint imi n.ir.f c.-ini. nt r.!,,t., ft- I

gourd-headed pukes. LJickyou,..alLjill... you Avount j: Very soon thev saw- raised above-Li head .wiper,
know yourselves from tho inside of a skunk's giz
zard!' Two gentlemen now intimated to our excited friend that there was such a (dace as a calabou.-e. He took the hint and sloped immediately.
He turned to open his portmanteau, and drew out
a black serpent, whose bite occasions cruel pains,
without causing death. I lie public' expected some thing more: thev were not disappointed.
The slave bared his left arm, and drew to it the
head of the serpent, which immediately caused the
blood to flow.
The slave placed the portmanleau,. which was full of leaves, unon the ground. He eat some of the
leaves, and set himself nbour continuing his exposi
tion.
From the N. O. Crescent City. A HOOSIER AT THE POST OFFICE. The mail is just received the once in front of the . Window is crowded, with every- description' of persons, with all sizes and every color from lily white down to a copper kettle. The Hoosier, in the homespun coat, ditto trovvsers, rabit skin hat, and boots
wnicn looked like tne poop of. a Dufcii galliot, lias
been holding the sill of the window for the last halt'
hour. A stream of tobacco juice is running from the corner of his mouth, and it must be wiped away or the
shirt, which has been worn only two Sundays, will bi
utterly spoiled. Pie endeavors to rise his arm to his
face, but it is wedged so tightly to his side that the
least exertion gives him pain. This interruption to
cleanliness gives rise to the following dialogue:
'I say, stranger.' looking half-angry and the other
part frightened, 'you've squeezed this ere left paw of
mine right straight clear into my side, and snakes
catch me it I can'tell which is the tether.' :
'Can't help it,.' says a small thin man in spectacles, who has poked his arm under the shoulder of an Irish drayman, and holds two short bits and a five cent niece tiffhtlv in the other. Can't help it, sir the
non-observance of the laws of gentility by one class
of society, forces the other part of that body to fight
boldly in defence of their doctrines those principles
I have always endeavored
"Is there a letther for Dinnis McMahon, surl' says
our Irish drayman, as soon as he sees the window about to he slid back. . 'Wild cats and fire-flies!' vociferated the Hoosier, w!iv you tarnal specamuri of a green calabash filled with boss hair? Do vou mean to say that you're here .''. first.'' . ' 'Civil take me if I did'nt ax first, and be the powers I don't see why I should he the last in gittin my '.' letther!' Clerk (within) What name did you say? . 'Dinnis McMahon, sur.' . 'Stund aside, you, Greek screech owl or I wish I . mav be stewed down into crab-cla ws fried with nigger hei'Is, If I don't wallap you all into a sheep-sorrel hoe cake! You might just as well to use chesnut-burf for an eye-stone, as to run again these bone-mashers. The Hoosier displayed a pair of fists .' which might have answered for ancient bit.l'ering rams, and the Irishmaii gave up the ship with the exclamation. 'Ah, by my soul!' he's naturalized and I am a two month furriner that's the reason why I bear it?' Cleik (angrily; What name' next? I can't be standing here all day. 'And isn't there no letther for me, yer honor?' said
our Irishman, in a tone that went to the quick. Clerk no, sir I told you so once before. 'Hoosier Why, you gingerbread jews harp, whar do you expect a letter fri'in?' The drayman said nothing. buta he went out of the door we heard him exclaim, 'God bliss ihim! my wife and grawleons.' Clerk-- Wha i.'s your name? Hoosier What's that your business? Clerk If you want a letter you must tell me. Hoosier Oh, if the cat jumps that are way I'spose you'll want to know if I got the pumpkin seed to git the cucumbers with. Clerk (laughing) I suppose your name's John Smith, isn't it? Hoosier (very much amazed) Abraham's fodder, and soft crabs of Galice! how did you know that?
The bystanders now laughed immoderately, and
police officer was standing by called out 'silence in
court.
Clerk Here arc ten letters for John Smith where
do vou expect one from?
Hoosier Beeswax! and stinging nettles! se if there
arn't one from Uoatfail Bnd: Clerk Is there a Post Office at that place? Hoosier No' There's a wood pile thar though! Clerk, laughs and looks over the letters. 'Them's urn, stranger that are one thar is mine,
I know, cause that J is bent over like a fishing line
with a ten pound cat fish a hold of the chicken gut. Clerk But this is for Captain John Smith. Hoosier Well, I is captain of the flatboit Nebbuchadnezzar. I arriv here last night loaded with mud turtles simblins and young pullets! Clerk The postage is twenty five cents. Hoosier Belzebub's belly and spting squashes? May I be teetotally ramsquoddled, and chopped up to make soup for nigger babies, If I don't see from here the sawed off eend of the last hog-killing afore I give you more than enough to buy a tongue muzzle for a turkey's watch fub!'

Translated from the Spanish for the Cincinnati Republican.; The Yellow Starprnt -Discovery of the tiiiaco Plant. One hundred and fifty yeurs since, a mulatto slave followed the current of the Orinoco, in the vicinity of Guyana, and not far from the place where that river empties into the Atlantic ocean. Wandering by chance many days in those hot regions, the slave travelled with the uneasiness and cau
tion of a man who, in the midst of savannahs abound
ing in poisonous reptiles, believes he might rest his
foot, when least expected, on the scaly body of a serpent. He examined with much care every tree; each
thicket of brambles appeared to him as so many shel
ters for wild beasts, where enemies, the color of which might be confounded with the' foliage, lav in am
bush. ' I Suddenly he paused: he cast himself upon' the i ground, and pressed the earth even to the joints of j ll W I I fnllJ WW lw.lt, mitl lirx x.lnr rn n n Tn.l.nn fliV-l

he saw. Without the convulsive trembling which ngiinted his body, any one would have believed that he was dead. He had just seen th most terrible of all the serpents, whose race is yet found in those regions. It was not. certainly a monstrous animal one of those colossal reptiles which, when sleeping on the banks of a river, or in the dense woods, presents to the trav
eller the aspect of the trunk of a tree, thrown to the ground by a tempest. Neither did it possess the gigantic proportions which the European people so much admire when they contemplate the skins stuffed ed with straw of some of the kings of Ohio. It was the Yellow Serpent. Whoever has seen its littleness, and examined its thin body, could not believe that so weak a reptile
count Kin a parir.ugp, although its bite will hill a man in such a manner, that the wound being made, death
ensue.s in livsstiian tht':n minutes. Tilt; slave knew it and trembled. His immobility was complete. For the whole Americ.an empire he would not have dared to raise his eyes. He would have given ten years of his life to have found himself far from such a frightful c-nemy.
Neither did the serpent move. Raised up in his coil, he overlooked the grass of the savannah, with his head dotted with spots of the color of ocre, of yellow
and orange: his eyes, like velvet, and blue as the clouds of that, region, sparkled, and appeared to emit sparkles of fire like a brilliant stone. He breathed the air with voluptuousness, .and offered, little by little, every part of his body to the burning rays of the sun. . ':, ;'. '.. For a man ignorant of the danger to stop in the proximity of this reptile, it would be a real pleasure to contemplate its delicateness, the'expression of its eyes, and the grace of its movements. The serpent did not. delay long iii beginingto leap, drawing in the
air rapid circles, producing a weak sound like silk coming in contact with a wall. The slave trembled more and more, when he heard a Strange noise which
he believed came from the grass, which shook With force. His imagination presented an entire family
of serpents, ready to cast themselves upon him. Fear obliged him to enlarge his si-r!;'. What was his
astonishment on seeing that the serpent sustained a
terrible contest with a bird! He then knew that his life was not threatened, and blessed heaven in the se
quel disposing him to flee; when, seeing that the
reptile had lost the greater part of its vigor, he wish
ed to be present at the end of that strange cnmb.it.
His post was not now dangerous, and curiositv de
tained him.
The combat, continued with ferocity. The bird kept I
in constant motion his sharp talons, and wounded the
serpent deeply with his pointed beak.
I he serpent being much exasperated, dragged itself
through, the grass, find divided the air in all directions,
ippe.ilinf; to its whole force and cunning, throwing limself towards the river to avoid the blows of his
enemy, isut the hiru follwea hi m in the air without stopping between, the grass, to tho brink of the river,
and attacked him each time with renewed rage.
Only now and then then the bird granted the ser
pent a kind of truce. It left the place of combat cov
ered with blood, and flew with rapidity to a shrub near by. He picked some of the leaves, and swallow
ed with haste some pieces of the bark of the same tree, and returned to the attack with the greatest courage.
The slave observed all, and could not conceive how it was that the serpent was almost dead, and the bird full of life in spite of having his body covered with wounds. He a-ked himself what species of bird was venomous enough to kill the yellow serpent: he was lost in conjecture, and believed himself to be in a dream. No doubt remained; the serpentlay without motion, being dead. The bird also was cast down; his wings hung dowo, and his respiration was painful: lie made an effort, flew towards thu shrub, eat some of the leaves with singular voracity, shook his wings and returned to thu field of battle; he rested a short lime
on the dead booy of the serpent, cleaning his bloody beak on his plumes, and, causing the air to resound with a shout of joy, directed his flight towards the South.
Some months afterwards a strange notice city of Caracas in commotion.
It was a beautiful morning in autumn, the people hurried with much confusion to tho public square. This was arrangecLin the same manner that we see ours to-day at the bnli-baitings; the multitude occupied all the steps and seats, and a military band executed popular music before what might be called the stage of the governor. The Governor did not cause them to wait Jong. A profound silence reigned. A man approached a line, the centre of the square, pushing with his hands
a cask, which he rolled to the same place. This man likewise carried on his left shoulder a portmanteau.
He was the mullatto slave of the Orinoco. He salu
ted the people, opened the sack, and took out a Colu
ber.
It was an innocent reptile, a friend of the birds.
and frequently met w ith in the walks and yards The people began to his, and it was only after much
trouble that order was re-established. The slave threw away the Coluber with disdain, and made a
gesture that he would explain the circumstance. "This is an intrusive reptile, and was here without my knowlenge." j
the sight of which astounded the multitude. The bite
; of that reptile causes a. slow death, but inevitable. The slave excited its rage by pre-eing its neck with I his finger; he applied it.tohis right arm, and showed j to the spectators two deep wounds, i He yet lacked the principal, the last proof. He
made a sign to the people, and they restrained their applause. In that, moment the mulatto had arrived at the height of his exultation. The humble and despised slave had just elevuted himself by the force of energy and boldness, to a point to which no man had
j Uareit; and by that act gained the ascendency over j that numerous people, who contemplated his looks
, with religious silence. j But the admiration was complete when that man j exposed to the sight of his spectators the terrible yellow serpent of the coast of Orinoco. He held the i reptile oy the back of its head, in such a manner j that it could not wound him, until he was convinced I that the people had recognized its' nature. Heexi posed his breast, first swallowing some of the leaves I of the portmanteau; he irritated the reptile, which
becLtne furious, and bit him immediately over his heart.
A general shout of horror resounded through the

The slave smothered the serpent between his
hand, and tranquilly went to seat himself upon a stone. The exhibition was concluded. One hour passed two hours and the slave lived. They then asked him his secret, and he pointed to the portmanteau: they wished to know in what man
ner he made the discovers, and then he opened the
cask by the same side, and drew out a black serpent, and from the other side a bird whose wings wereshor tened. The people witnessed a combat which the poor mulatto learned to explain, at the risk of his life, in the savannahs of Guyana. The bird killed the serpent, and finished by consuming the leaves of the portmanteau. America, from that time, has one scourge less in
its vast plains and interminable woods. The Governor approached the slave, nnd declared him free, in the name of the people conceding the ti tie of citizen, and assigning him an annual rent of 5,000 dollars. And gave the shrub, whose miraculous powers he had first witnessed, the name of the
bird which had revealed it to the world calling it
Guaco. -
The leaf of the Guaco figures to this day on all the
tables of that country.
Many naturalists innoculate themselves with this marvellous antidote, the only means of preserving
themselves from the bites of the terrible reptiles which infest that part of America.
