HOW THE RAVEN BECAME BLACK.
A LESSON TO TALE-BEARERS.
BY JOHN G. SAXE.
There's a clever classic storv,
Such as pt used to write,
(Vou may Ami the tale in Ovid)
That th Raven once waa white.
White as yonder swan a-sailing
At this moment on the moat,
Till the bird, for misbehavior,
Lost, one day, his snowy ooet.
, "Raven-whit" was once th saying,
Till an accident, alack 1
Spoiled its meaning, and thereafter
It was changed to "Karen-black."
Shall I tell you bow it happened
That the change was brought abonl T
List the story of Cnronis,
- And you'll find th secret out.
Young Coronis, fairest maiden 1
Ot Thessalia'a girlish train,
Whom Apollo loved and courted,
Loved and courted not in vain, '
Flirted With another lover, '
(So at least the story goes)
And was wont to meet him slyly
' Underneath the blushing rose.
Whereupon the bird of Pherhns,
Who their meetings chanced to view,
Went in haste nolo bis master
Went and told him all he knew.
Told Mm how his dear Coronis,
Kb I so and faithless as could bey
Plainly loved another fellow
If he doubted, como and see I '
Wherrnpon' Apollo, angry ''
Thns to find himself betrayed,
With his silver bow and arrow,
Wcut aud. shot the wretched maid.
Sow When he perceived her dying,
He was stricken to the heart ;
. 'And to stop her mortal bU'cding, ' ' '
Tried his famous healing art I
But in Tain; the god of physie
Had no antidote alack I v.
.He who took her off so deftly
Couldn't bring the maiden back..
Anrry with himself, Apollo .
- Yet mora angry with his bird,
For a uiomont stood in ailenoo ,
Impotent to speak a Word.
Then he turned urion the JUven,' "
" Wanton babbler I see thy fate j
Messenger of time no lunger,
Uo to Hades with thy prate.
' Weary Pluto with thy taitle I
. Hither, monster, com not back ;
And to match thy disposition
Henceforth be thy plumage black J'"
MORAL.
When you're tempted to make mischief,
It is wisost to refuse : .
Teople sre not apt to fancy
Bearers of unwelcome news. .
ANOTHER MORAL.
.
Something of the pitch you handle .
On your fingers will remain;
As the Raven's tnle of darkness '
Uare the bird a. lasting slain.
Selected Miscellany.
Selected Miscellany. MAJOR ANDRE.
Ono of the most melancholy incirfehts of
the Atneriean Kevuluf ion, was the exeou
tiuti qf the goo I, yet unlot Innate Major An-
die I Templed by the traitor Ainolil, he
thus coniiiiitted a deed which brought him
to a ahamrtiil end.
1 will give (he reader a short sketch of
the plot, which, if it had succeeded, would
have crushed America : and, at tha present
day, wr; like li eland, would be ruled by the
iiiiigiibii tyrant.
liencdict Arnold " paced nervously his
room, thinking of the daik deed which was
about to take place. r. "
"Jt in too ' late for repentance he ei
claimed, the1' die ia cunt.. ,The Britiuh mes
senger, Andre, it) non hore, and these let-'
ters aud papers will unlock to him the
strong foriresa of tho North."
He was interrupted by a servant who in
formed him that a visitor wished to see
him. The servant suspected thai 'some-thi-g
waa going' wrong, and Arnold to his
Irrftat onwr i,ni if
"Did I not give you.Uave of .absence jo
day?" lit) asked', in angry tone of voice.
The servant gave for his' p'xouRe that a
British vessel arrived,' and ho thought
ButuoOiing was wr.ojiyv r ... . : . . --
.Arnold disiuirBd him J-tn-conduct the
visitor to his room. Major Andre soon en
tered the noble youth stood before the
traitor, who was about to send him on an
errand that proved h.is death.
We will not weary tbe reader with the
conversation ttat ' passed between ' them ;
suffice it to say the deed Wan. deuev ': tiut
Andre would have- willingly given it np,
hut it was then too' late! A Ins! how sad
those words too lte I The deed was
urged on hiio, and ambition prompted him.
He asked the hand of a lovely daughter of
proud father.,,. It . was-, relUKed ,by the
faher,.on account of his humble station.
Yet he was bade to hope, and .if. the wild
scheme succeeded, he would be the fath
er's equal ; for this reason he entered Into
this dangerous plot. " i , i
Major Andro started on his errand, ne
crossed to the eastern side of the Hudson,
aud proceeded toward New York by land.
But alas for human hopes ! ..
Near Tairytowu he was stopped by three
men by the name of Puulding, Williams and
Van Wert. When Andre was first arrested
he was very indignant, and showed them
liencdict Arnold's pass, aud exclaimed ' .
" There's my pass, let me go 1 "
But tbey turned a deaf ear to hit words,
as lie wore the British uniform. Altera
little conversation tbey agree! to 'searoh
him. ' Andre .conld ' not defend himself,
therefore he allowed them. They ' were
about to give up their search when one,
more cunning than the rest, said lie did not
like the shape of the boot. ' ' ' ' '" :'
It must come off," he said. t You eeeDj
to be faint ; I will help you." ' ' i
W itb tins he drew ort tbe boot,' ana sev
eral'letters fell upon the ground. The let
ters informed them all they wished to know.
LMalor Andre was tbei
thii6ld to. bo releawd, but they

heeded him not;
Reed said ' ' '

prisoner, replete with sentiments of feel
ing and of honor I but ths state of our dis
tracted country requires that for the gen
eral welfare an example should be made of
those who have allied themselves in trea
son with ths traitor Arnold. ' Were he suc
cessful, what would be the result to our
half-acquired liberties? Tyranny would
aguiu march forth, clothed in tho gory habil
iments of desolation, and all our cherished
d renins of freedom, for which so many pa
triot heroes havo sacrificed their lives and
fortunes, would vanish like a vision uever
again to bo recalled.
" And, though it grieves my soul to 'be
ths cause-of human suffering he innnt die 1
To soolhe the excited feelings of tho many
wavering hearts, the) occasion demands
that the example of Andre's guilt shall
make its full impression ; his request for
mercy cannot be granted.
" From my heart i sympathise with An

Advertising and Its Results.
From every section of t!io country come
testimonials of the advantage derived from
a Well-regulated system 'of ad vertising," .'A
surer cr safer investment for' business insu
cannot well be imagined. It puts them
before the public in a teneScial light, they
becomo " known and read of all men," and
reap an abundant hnrvext from the seed
thus sown. There can be no doubt of the
fact; patrons declare, it ,, newspapers as
ert it ; and experience conclusively proves
it. Hero are a few cases gathered from v.
ions sources illustrating this point t ' t:
The Adams (N, Y.) Visitor speaks ot nn
eminent Bostonian' who Jmd regarded an
advutiscmeul in a newspaper as a personal
invitation lo. call,, and uid ; ; , Wlulo 1
soiuetiines liesit.ite abotit eiiteriiig a htore,
the proprietors of which have not tliini
sent Iheir (jards to my tesideuce, I always
feel certain of a cordial wcloome from the
members of op ad voj tismg firro"j ''.,-.
A shrewd business ttian onco adver
tised a trifling article in a niaiincr which
could scarcely prove remunerative. Ilia
iieighbors expressed their,. regret at his
folly, but he appeared contented. Though
his gross soles of the article did not cover
the cost of his advertising, he attracted a
Dew clnsa of noonl tn hiu. rIoi-a and Iiih
shrewdtic's a'u him in a very short time,
for new eyes saw what ha had to, offer in
addition to tho speciality; he had adver-.
tised, aud now purses came under contri
bution to him. ... . , '"
The Indianola ' (Ind.V Visitor relates i
this incident: "'Jo 18GL, a vounc jnan was
employed in. this place as a clerk in a house
at the moderate sum of four dollars per
week. ' lu' the fall, of 1862 he ' went into , a
small btisines8 On his oVn hook. : In 1863
he formed a copartnership with his brother.
w iien tue sonior ot the hrui threw bis little
bark on ths sea of publia trade,' wo sug
gested to him ho to ndvortise. He took
our advice, and followc'd it strictly to, the
letter using more , printer's ink. than'.all
the basiiiesa.Jh'ius of Indianola combined.
The result of our advice, together with the
nonestyv Integrity, arid the go-aheaflativc-
uess of this firm, has given tbcrh a compe-
teucy and loot-bold among Hie poople of
warren mat will tell ' big in alter years.
A ' Western coteraporary 'says : "Ad
vertising is to ths trader what plowing is
the farmer. There would bo some nat
ural production if the sod; of- tbe earth was
never broken, and it would hold about Ihd
same relation to the production of a well
cultivated' garden, 'that the jirofits of un
advertised trade do to the advertised.''
Another declare that V No a-dy no
body but. the slowest, dried-un old fossils
ever question the advantage of advertising.
Une- might with as much propriety doubt
tha evidence of his owu eyes aiid ears. The
stylo and extent of a business man's adver
tising is a sure test of h it energy and 'ca
pacity, the quantity and auulitT ot his stock,
and the amount of business he transacts." '
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, ten
ders his advice to the public. ."Never
buy goods of those . who, don't advertise.
They sell so little that they have -to-U
dear." ' . - . .
Bays the Delawors Republican ; " Wfl
believe it is a rule, with scarcely ub excep
tion, that iu.evmry community the nior-
chants who advertise arosueoossful and de
servedly; ''They are the men who keep
host stock of goods and sell cheapest.

BY JOSH BILLINGS. Thrilling Encounter with a Den
of Black Snakes in South
Mountain, Maryland.
' The Boonsboro Odd Fellow relates the
following adveutur of Prof. J. Mitchell, of
that tovrnj ".' ,' ', !
Prof. i. Mitchell, th celebrated M South
Mountain VViezard," while outgiinuing last
Friday, had a most thrilling adventure with
a den of black snakes, known a " raaere,"
from which he narrowly escaped with his
life. Aa is hia habit, th professor bKd taken
hi favorite car bine and gone into the moun
tain after squirrels. Best part of the fore
noon hid been spent in beating through the
brush, and over the took without meeting
with any adventure, and but ordinary suc
cess in procuring gam, Ao. Suddenly, how.
ever, h came to a ledg of rock about a
mile ' from ; the Uoutli Mountain lions.
Bloj ping foit a inomsnt to take a survey of
tb surroundings, he saw a large black
snake stretohed opt on a rock sunning him
self. ; lie at once look up couple of stones
and threw one at his (nakeahip, but unfer

Hie stoutest heart. To .retreat was out of
the question j a fight was the only alterna-'
tlve, and quick as thought he leveled hid
carbine at the snake's head, hut, ,tttiforttf
nalely, missed It, at the same time dropping
it (his carbine) npon the ground. With
the rapidity C lipl.tning ihn ViUxIr
attacked the professor; and confnlehe(I' '
winding his sltmy oils a'roitnd his legsf!
and body tighter and tighter til verv coil
of his loathesom form, until th professor
was unable to move a foot. His effort to"
exti icate himself from the "coils of death" 1
as they seemed to him were onavailing.fof ,
with every effort the folds tightened and thai ,
work of respiration became difficult. Death!
and the snake stared him in the face, and '
mado tbe oold chills of horror and eiTony
creep ever hie bodyl ft was a ieatful
iuuiuxiii in most intense norrer anq
agony, that mado the flesh oreep. the blooa
chill, and the hair literally to "stand on '

Nothing but hie gteat presence of initvl .
saved him from strangulation and loathe ,
some death. Recolleoting that hts hunting- :.
knife bung by bis side, he seized it, and
wfth his nerves braoed by despair, drew It " 1
soross the .body of the snake, severing ji '
at a stroke. The coils relaxed, th snak ;
dropped dead at his fee', and the professor (,
was free again. Hy this time Jie heard a
ereat rustling in the bushes and the dry '
bark cracking in every direction, 'tacoonw
panied by loud, shrill, angry hisses (Old) ;
whistling, os if the whole surrounding ,
woods were filled with snakes.
Doeming discretion the better part' 6f
valor, he hastily grabbed np hi carbine
girthed hi hunting knife, and beat a pre-. ,-.
cipitate retreat. The professor was pur
sued by ths black snake for some dis
tunes, but being in a hurry, he had no tim,6
to look back and count their number. H '
says that had tbey come one at a time be ,
would not have retreated, but to attack him -
by companies, brigades and divisions; waa
enough to frighten any man. ' '
We have endeavored to give the facta 1
as narrated by the professor himself. - Mr;, i
Mitchell ia well known in this community; ,
aud w have no reason to believe the faoti
have been exaggerated We have aincej ''
been informed that this speoins of snake)
is very plenty in the mountains, and hav
frequently been known to attack persona
who Intrude in their dens.
Runic Discovery on the Potomac.
luao. .
A Danish antiquary, traveling in tbie
oountry thinks he has found a wonderful
Runio inscription on a rook riear George .
town, D. C. According- to tlii savan, tha
inscription reads as follows t "
" Here rests Syasy (or Susan), th fair
hawed, a person from the east of Iceland, '
the widow of Rjoldr, and sister of Thorgr,
children of the same father, twenty fivtf
years of nge. Msy God make glad not
soui. 1051.", , ;. , .
In digging at tue'foot of this Runio reokf
the disoovorer further found .some human
teeth, two "Roman coins and" " three,
bronze trinkets." ,
Finally, just above the Rune is carrsa
th nam : W. Langley, 1758." -'
Of course, the .Danish professor iuie
diately builds a theory on this sleudet
foundation. He says hii discovery is un
questionably proof of th Visits bf thfr '
Icolundio voyager to this coiituisnt, and .
that this is confirmed by a manuscript dug
out of some old, ruin at Skahldt, Ibolaud,
.not long ago, '' in which it is affirmed that,
under command of Herbardtir, his country
meu sailed in a otthrly direction from
Vineland (or Martha's Vineyard), wbera
they wintered, and . thence up a sea and
various rivers, the ascent of ono of Which!
was stopped by a suscession of fall; td 1
which, from their shape and foamy ap- -
psaranco, they gave the name of llvidsderk ) .
or white shirt; aud the manuscript further
etates that in this neighborhood toe illsgit
(mate dttughtef of Bnofre waa killed by
small tpear (er arrow), afid buried near tha
spot where she fell." . . '
D. D, Fish, editor of ihe Hartford Comt
mil, who is well acquainted with Danish
literaturo and history, pronounce tha
story Started by a Washington paper about '
the discovery of a ftunio inscription hear
