Between the settlements there were long stretches of forest filled with wild beasts, and now and then you eame upon a band of stroll- ing savages. Besides these, there were the usual class of villians, horse-thieves and renegades, who would not hesitate to take a man's life if they thought it would be to their advantage to do so. 'Ono night Istopped at a tavern | which stood in the midst of a little | sottlement of not more than a dozen log houses. I had been the round | of them and drove what bargains I conld, and in the morning [ was to and cold meat was been provided for me, and when the generous sup= ply haddisappeared I almost wished that there had been more, 'The extra exertion I had made, and the bearty heal of which I had partaken; made me sleopy, and, placing my pack under my head, I closed my eyes, thinking I would taky a fow minutes' rest before going onward, 'I did not mean to go to sleep, yet in less than five minutes I was unconscious of all that was passing around me. How long I slept I know not- It might have been a few minutes or it might have been an hour, but I awoke at last with a start und a sense of somo great dan- ger hanging over me. I did not start up or move hand or foot. -A certain something, I could not tell what seemed to chain me down, 'I opened my eyessand looked about me but saw nothing; and I was just on the point of making a motion to get upon my feet, when I heard the slight crackling of a branch above my head. Looking up in the direction of the sound. that almost froze the marrow in my bones and seemed to turn my blood to ice. A huge panther was crouching there ready for a spring upon me. ' As motionless as one dead I lay and gazed upon my terrible onomy. To stir as muchas a hand 1 knew would be the signal tor the beast to spring upon me. Its fiery eyes were fixed upon thy fate and its tail was gently waving to and fro like | that of a cat, Lot's Wife. $ The s'roy of Lot's wife turning into a liar of salt, has for ages served the excellent purpose of a warning. to those who hesitate on the ove of great events or turn back towards threatened danger. The moderen saying, " Be shure you are right and then go uhend," may in some measure oxcuse Mrs. Lot for hesitation although at the time Sod- om and Gomorrah were overthrown 4 woman wus expected to obey with- husband, and any hesitation, such as is recorded of Liut's wife, would have been considered almost a crime. Under the circumstances Lot's wife may possibly be regarded as among tho first to assert the right of a woman (o think for herself, bLuta more probuble explanation is hinted by the Rev. Dr. DeHuass, formerly consul at Jerusalem. In a lecture at Syracuse Thursday evening.
