The Boa and the Buck A Snake Story

in tho colony of IWt Natal, to a ,
frii'iul in I'111 ami, ami ohsorvini* an oroohoc

it near enough to secure a shot ; ; ul
making a circuit 1 came uj> tow.inl it. keenin1/
a small hill hctweon mvsclf' ami ?1
Inlet*, until I thought I might venture t?
look out and sco the whereabouts of my
intended guno. What was my surprise
when ! found the animal had not moved
since I lirst saw it. and was then standing
in a peculiar attitude, perfectly motionless
and ii<>t twenty yards from me. These lit
tie creatures have extraordinary sight, and
are vcrv timid, rendering it dillicult to approach
within a hundred yards, unless you
surprise iheni while sleeping in lonifurass.

lirst sit[?]> jsing it to besiek. 1 then thought
1 would SCO liow near I could uot ; and
there being an ant-heap clone beside the,
buck, I approached, ami, on looking over
the mound, saw the head of a largo boaeonstrueter
lying just out of a hole untlor
tin* heap; the luiek stood with li s head
till" ' on one side, in an awkward position
gazing intently on its deadly enemy, and
not in the least aware of in v vicinity. 1 retreated
cautiously, fearing to break the
spell, and wishing to watch the last act in
this singular incsinerie drama.
The hnek must have remained at least
live minutes in this transfixed position, the
hair of its baek erect, its eye dilated, and
its attitude still and unnatural. Sinlilenlv
I saw on tin1 "round, the thick black mils
of the boa enfolding its bodv and leps.?
1 lived instantly, and the reptile slowly unwound
himself, compelled to snecunib to a
power more terrible than bis own. My pun i
Ins one barrel rilled, t be other a smoothbore
, , _ . luc-fcUut 1 had discharged shot only, not
\f beinji far oIV, and the body of the snake j
was nearly severed ; yet in the short in
stant. during which he had embraced his
j prey he had broken every bone of the pret/
t v creature's body. I measured the snake,
and fitund its length to b eighteen feet
I nine inches.
yTlie eye of the boa is very peculiar while
mesmerizing its prey ; it almost appears to
omit flame. It may bo compared to an amethyst
or ruby, or both, with an emerald
?!uck together, ami rapidly revolving in
j the sun.
Its mouth was dosed, or nearly so, and
its long tontine darting from side to side,
as if "n greedy anticipation of the dish <>!'
\ venison which awaited its devouring jaws.
\ ();i another occasion 1 watched a smaller
boa. about eight feet long, while engaged
V \ in llie act of swallowing a fowl. It first
^ > seized the, head. and appeared to swallow
Iwith great difficulty, making conclusive efforts,
observable from the rings of its tail
upwards. A iter some hard .-(niggles the
head ami neck of the fowl disappeared, Imt

and I was curious to sec how the
snake would ir< t over his difficulties?-f. r
even a junior would be nonplussid if refjuin
d to swallow knivosand forks crosswise
?and I soon found that he was |uit< oini.il
t > tlio cinorjr< ney. After a series of painful
efforts, tantalizing donhlhss to a hu!i?fry
hoa, the r< ptile brought 1.i- tail to the rescue
; extremes met, and folding the winus
k together, he at List forced the hotly of the
fowl between his jaws. lie now, however,
seemed t<> have ^ot himself into a
greater fix than ever. The distention
caused his neck to appear only as thick as

that 11is snakesnip had really more than he j

Not a hit ol m. After rcstinj* a minute j
or two ho coiled round his distended jaws
ami commenced an ingenious process of
compression, beginning at his head, and
working downward along the neck and
body?stnfling himself as you would a sausage?till
hi; had completed this extraordinary
manuuver of deglut ition. The whole
operation lasted about twenty minutes, and,
I must confess, seemed anything but a
gratifying mod of appeasing tin: animal j

I captured tliis boa. and kept him some
time in a cask, and ultimately gave Itim to
a friend who was proceeding t<?("ti|?e Town.

with a moderately hard brush while

Pamp the hair with water every time tlie

for the hair than pure soft water, it'the

Stephens, of < Jc? rv.i i, in a recent address :it
:i nu*oiiiijj; in Alexandria, for tin- benefit ??f
the orphan asylum ami free .schools of
that city, related tin- following anecdote:
\ poor little l>oy, in a fold insist in
June, with no homo or r.?of to .shelter his
head, no pan nt il or maternal jrnardian or
jruide to protect or direct liiin on his w y.
roach oil at nightfall t lw* liou.se of a rich
planter, who took liiin in, fed, lodircd and
s >i>t liim c>!> lii.-s way wall Ills 1?1 i !! _ .
Those kind attentions cheered l.is heart
and inspired him with fresh courage to battle
with lit" obstacles of life. Years rolled
i round ; Providence led him on ; he had
reached the leird profession ; bis host h:id
died ; the cormorants that prey on the sw!>
stance of a man, had formed a conspiracy
to ?;et from the widow her estate. She
. sent for the nearest counsel to commit her
e.m<e to him, and the counsel proved to b"
the orphan boy )ears before welcomed :iml
entei taini d hy herdecoascd husband. Tlx'
stimulus of a warm ami tenacious gratitude
was now added to the ordinary motives
connected with tin* profession. M< undertook
her cause witli a will not easily to
lie resisted ; lit; uained it ; the widow's estates
were secured to her in perpetuity ;
and, Mr. Stephens add'd with an emotion
that sent its electric thrill throughout
the house, " that orphan hoy stands before
you !''

Arriving at his house, he rang the bell at
