I see you think I'm making fun of yon, but I'm not, indeed; and When you hear the story I think you'll agree with me that I have good . r reason to value it, ugly as it looks. | * This was how it happened. When wfejrst out to India, my husband *v wis sent to make the survey of the Ner- bttdda valley, one of the wildest bits in ̂all Central India; and we really were, just at first, the only white people with­ in forty or fifty miles. And such a time es^tre had d it! If my husband hadn't 7 Jjeen as strong as he is, and a perfect 'miracle of patience as well, I don't know how he could have stood what he had to do. It was dreadful work for him, be- f.,. ing up sometimes for a whole night to- ; aether, or having to stand out in the 1 burning sun, when the very ground itself was almost too hot to touch. And as for the native workmen, I never saw stioit a set--always doing everything wrong, and never liking anybody to put v„n , thaqi right. "When the railway was be- "'ing "made they used to carry the earth on their heads in baskets; and when Mr. served out wheelbarrows to them 'anally carried them on their in the same way 1 I couldn't help laughing at it. though it was terribly provoking, too. And that was just the way they all were; if there was a wrong way of using anything they'd be sure to find it out. Eves our butter, or khit- mutgar, who was snuoh better than moet of them, came one day and begged A pair of old decanter-label* that my husbaad was going to throw away; and when the man came in next morning he had. positively turned them |nto ear­ rings, and went about quite gravely with 'Port' in one ear and ' Sherry' in the ether! wever, if the native men «onhd the native beasts were fifty tiixfes worse. It was no joke, I can assure jrou, to be awakened in the middle of the night by the roar of a tiger close tinder the window, or by an elephant crashing and ̂ trumpeting through the jungle with ft noise like a mail-coach going full gallop into a hot-house. Well, as soon as that was over, the jack­ als would set up a squealing and whirn- "«ering like so many frightened chil­ dren, and then a dreadful native bird, whose name I've never found out (1 suppose because nobody could invent one bad enough for \t), would break out in ft succession of the most horrible ories--just liko somebody being mur­ dered--until the noise fairly drove me rn:„ . : « • "And then tho ants! but you've seen them for yourself, and I needn't tell yofi about them. But all this while Pm nq£lecting my story. . "One day (it will be long enough be­ fore I forget it) my husband was out ss usual at his work, and the nurse had gone down to the other native servants «t the end of the ' compound/ as we oaQ this big inclosnre, and I was left Alone in the house with my little Min- nie yonder, who was then just about a year old. By this time I had got over mj first fears, and didn't mind a bit be­ ing left by myself; indeed, all the lower windows having bars across them, I thought that I was safe enough, but I little dreamed of what was coming! * I must have been sitting over my Sfting nearly an hour, with Hie ohild 4* ? ̂ ^ - ( <*• |r •' v r" IP •bout the floor beside me, when suddenly I hesdrdadult tiankp ov«e- head, as if something lad fr#** cm the root immmi anyflA of it at the jisng)« 1 but, presently, I thought I ocgitf hear a hoavy breathing in the next room but one, and then I begaato feel fright­ ened in sttruMt. I rose si iotty as I oould, and crept to the door-way be­ tween the rooms. This door-way was only closed by a onxtain, and gentî rpoll- ing aside the folds, I peeped through-- and found myself within a few paces of the largest panther I had ever seen in mylife! * For one moment it was just as if I had been frozen stiff, and then the thought came te me just as if some­ body had spoken it: ' The big ehestP MI knew that this chest would hold me and my child manly, and that I oould leave a chink of the lid open to let us breathe, for the overlapping edge would save my fingers from the panther. In ft second I had it all dear before me; but, h*d the brute not stopped short at sight of the curtain, I should neve; have had ft ohftnee of trying it. Luckily for me, the Indian panther, savage as he is, is a terrible cow­ ard, and suspicious m any detective. I've seen one go round and round ft trap for more than half an hour, before he made up his mind to spring at the bait. So, while my friend was puzzling himself over the curtain, and wondering whether it was a trap or not, I took up Minnie (who, poor little pet, seemed to know there was something wrong, and never uttered a sound) and into the chest I crept, making as little noise as I oould. "I was hardly settled there when I heard the ' sniff-sniff' of the panther ooming right up to where I lay, and, through the ohink that I had left open, the hot, foul breath came steaming in upon my face, almost making me sick. It seemed to bring my heart into my mouth when I heard his great claws scraping the edge of the lid and trying to lift it up; but, happily, the ohink was too narrow for his paw to enter. But if the fiftw eoaldn't* the tongue oould; and soon he began to Hck my fingers, rasping them so that I hardly knew how to bear it. Still, the touch of Minnie's little arm around my neck seemed to give me courage. But there was far worse than this to come; for the panther suddenly leaped right on top of the chest, and his weight pressed down the heavy lid upon my fingers, until the pain was so terrible that, unable to stand it any longer, I screamed with all my might. "The scream was answered'*by a shout, from just outside, in which I recognized my husband's voice. The panther heard it, too, and it seemed to scare him, for he made a dash for the window, either forgetting or not notic­ ing the iron bare; but, just as he reached it, there came the crack of a rifle, and I heard the heavy brute fall suddenly upon the floor. Then all the fright seemed to come back upon me at once, and I fainted outright. * I heard afterward that Mr. B had happened to want some instrument which he had left at the house; and, not wishing to trust it in the hands of any of the natives, he came back lor it himself--luckily, just in time, for the bullet from his rifle killed the pknther. But, as you see, my hand is pretty stiff yet.*~̂ Z)gf£4J£ert w S^JikikalM Jbr April - 1 -* JL MWAIZ, THAT WOULD 2TOT STARVE. An Egyptian desert snail was received at the British Museum on March 25, 1846. The animal was not known to be alive, as it had withdrawn into its shell, ftnd the specimen was accordingly gummed, mouth downward, onto a tab­ let duly labeled and dated, and left to its late. Instead of starving, this con­ tented gasteropod simply went to sleep in a quiet way, and never woke up again for four years. The tablet was then placed in tepid water, and the shell loosened, when the dormant snail suddenly resuscitated himself, began walking about the basin, and finally sat for Ms portrait, which may be sees, of life-size in Mr. Woodward's "Manual of the Molhuoa." Mow, during those four years the snail had never eaten a mouthful of any food, yet he was quite as well and flourishing at the end of the period as he had ^eenat its begin­ ning.--Belgravia, " ottimr. ~ > • The fiat thing to be conquered in grief is the pleasure we feel in indulg­ ing it. There is but one pardonable sorrow--that for the departed. This pleasing grief is but ft variety of com­ fort; the sighs we heave are but a mournful mode of loving them. We shed tears when we think of their de­ parture ; and we do so, too, when we think of reunion with them, and our tears at both times are not very differ­ ent. That which is past, however, should be submitted to with perfect submission. It is as foolish to com­ plain of a loss which has been sustained, and which loss cannot be remedied, as to regvet that we have not wings, or that we munot pay a visit to the moon. **TATMM» QREENi ? lVMtaf ail-' ?"•*' ? Tater" Green laid five comrades kit their home in Norih- •n Ohio, in the ^aba*j of mfc** Bflgieek county, with the avowed inten­ tion of making their fortunes at Pike's peak or Cherry-creek diggings. Every­ thing went all right with the perty un­ til they crossed the Arkansas, when a feeling of homesickness began to make itself lell among the emigrants. Men would become sick for a si^ht of civil- i nation and break off with the party, oauaing a general divide. In this way they would sometimes cut wagons in two, and even, Ckeen says, he once saw an ox cut in two. Green's partner was one of the disaffected, and, m deciding to pull up stakes, ft division of property was made, he taking one ox and the front wheels of the wagon, Green talnng the other ox and the hind wheels. Out of these he made a sulky in which he drove his ox. At Denver, dishearten­ ing reports began to meet him. Dis­ gusted miners pushing for home met them every day. The tide turned, and threats of burning 8t Louis were made. Indeed, a party was organ­ ized for that purpose, but never con­ summated it. Checked by the news that no gold was to be found in the Cherry creek diggings, "Tater" squat­ ted on a 160-acre tract, upon which, by the way, Golden City now stands. Denver, in the days of 1859, was probably as fast a place as any city on the continent. . It was the point where civilization met the wilderness. The fortunes made in bonanza mining were spent here with an open hand. One day, as Green was driving his ox from his homestead into Denver, some fel­ lows on horseback attempted to pass him. The ox, moved by the spirit which infested the place, prob»blj, quickened its steps until it went off in a swinging trot, leaving the horses be­ hind. This was the first intimation Green had that his bob-tailed ox (it was bob-tailed) oould trot. The idea then presented itself to him that if he oould only accustom the bovine to trot­ ting a certain distance on a certain pieoe of ground he could out-trot any horse in the neighborhood. There was a gambler by the name of Baiiuale, from Illinois, in itonver at this period, who owned a horse that oould do his mile ̂ in 2:40. Bandale was quite a chum of Green, and would occasionally drop into his quarters and blow his horse's trumpet. A day. or two after Green's discovery of his ox's powers R&ndale dropped in on him and, as usual, began "talking horse." Watching his chance, Green remarked that he had an ox that could beat Ban- dale's horse for 300 yards. Band ale laughed at first, then got mad, and at last offered to bet ten to one that it could not be done. The bet was prompt­ ly taken, and they adjourned to the prepared plaoe. The ox was backed up to a little hand-cart, half ft yoke put around his neok, a oouple of Baplings served as shafts, and the whole rig was completed by a pair of ex-hide traces. Bandale was to do the sooring and oon- trol his horse subject to the action of his bovine adversary, as Green knew very well it would never dp, JP trifc> with Ms .stood*. When efB t̂tring was rentfy, emmj they went--Green, with his long black-snake, making things lively for the ox, and r--nrirf m trooper at Ms 2:40 nag. Sura enough, at the end of 800 yards, the ox came in ahead. On the spot Bandale bought half the ox for $500. The next day he was pitted against two horses, and the whole city turned out to see the remarkable phenomenon--a trot- Hug ox. Again was he victorious, and, amid the wildest excitement, he passod the line six lengths ahead. - Every day thereafter he defeated a horse or two, and there soon became e popular demand for a share in the ox. Accordingly a stock company was formed with a joint stock of $6,400, being 64 shares of $100 each. The stock went like hot qpkes, and soon sold away above par. In a week, during which he had won several more races, the sto^k was quoted on the gambling-tables, and passed for $1,000 a share. At last a horse sired in San Franoisoo came along, and a trial of speed was mad® up between Mm and the ox. If the crowd of spectators had been large before, it was gigantic on this day. It seemed as if the whole oountry turned ouls and it was estimated that there were 10,000 people present. Everything being in readiness, away they went, heralded by a thousand voices. The ox took the lead from the start; at the 100-yard pole he was a length and a half ahead; at the 250 the distance had widened into five lengths, and the ox still gain­ ing. But the old saying, "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and lip," was never truer than in the present case, and whan within a dozen yards of the winning post his oxship became tired and made up his mind to stop. Ac­ cordingly he planted his front feet and refused to budge. Moral suasion, pro­ fane abuse, physical ill-usage, all, sep­ arate or combined, failed to move him, , «nd the horse quietly trotted past, and took the moe, the ox never reaching the ipninfjioik at all.

Mrs. CK , with Iter two little girls, of the respective ages of 8 and 9 ys^uts, had been staying in the country on a visit to her sister-in-law; but, having taken a house near London, she sent the two children with their nurse off by an early train, following herself by one a few hours later. Toward the evening of the same day, one of the little girls walked into a room of the house which they had quitted in the morning, where a cousin to whom she was much at­ tached was sitting at his studies, and said to Mm: "I am come to say good- by, Walter; I shall never see youagam," Then, kissing him, she vanished from the room. The young man was greatly startled and astonished, as he had him self saen both the little girls and the nurse off by the morning train. At this very time ol the evening both the ohildren in London were taken sudden­ ly ill, while playing in their new home, a few hours after they had arrived. The doctor called in pronounced their 00m- plaint to b® small-pox of the most ma­ lignant kind. They both died within the week, but the youngest died first. The day after she was buried, the poor bereaved mother was anxiously watch­ ing the last hours of the one still left, for whom she well knew no chanoe of life remained. Suddenly the side child woke up from a kind of stupor, and ex­ claimed: MOh» look, mamma! look at the beautiful angels! * pointing to the foot of lb® bad. Mrs. G saw noth­ ing, but heard soft, sweet music, which seemed to float in the air. Again the child exclaimed: "Oh, dear mamma, there is Minnie." She smiled, and ap­ peared greatly pleased. At this mo­ ment Mrs. G- distinctly heard a voice say: "Come, dear Ada, I am wait ing for you!" The sick child smiled once again, and died without a struggle. Long did the poor mother remember ovftThearing a childish conversation be­ tween the two little ones, in whioh the youngest spid to the other that she felt sure she should die first and would be certain to come and feteh her. mxsm ftOTWATUM. " ikfoadAx, A|»a TJffJB JPTFJE WSDDiitatk - Wood,en9 tin, silver, and golden wed­ dings mark the fifth, tenth, twenty-fifth, and fiftieth anniversaries of matrimony. There is, we believe, a glass wedding, also, but that is an innovation, for noth-• r ing as brittle as glass should be used commemorative of the nuptial tie. One might suppose a wooden wedding and a tin wedding .were necessarily cheap affairs. They can be given eco­ nomically, but are not necessarily so, by any means. For instance, a tin wed­ ding was given in Providenoe at which the bride appeared in a dress festooned with tin chains, a tin belt, and a tin veil enveloping her person. Thegroom wore a tin dreaa-coat, tin shoes, & hat, tin watch, etc. At f ailver^epoddiug -lalelflfew York the .wife received from her hus­ band a present of a breast-pin, the cen­ tral stone a diamond, representing the wife-»«4h#f f around this ten pearls, numerically representing the children all these encircled by twenty-five gar­ nets, indicative of the twenty-fifth an­ niversary of their marriage, and the whole surrounded by fifty diamonds, signifying the age of her husband. A wooden wedding can be a very tasteful aflair. Lately a wooden wed­ ding in Utica, was given byahappy five- years' wife, a native of Cleveland, in which the rooms were ornamented with festoons of shavings, mottoes inscribed on the walls with shavings, the effect of which was exquisitely tasteful and unique. The presents, of course, were wooden, and in such variety--from a knot ehopping-bowl to an elaborately- carved paper-cutter, from a rolling-pin to an exquisitely-finished parlor-bracket --as to excite one's special wonder that so many useful and ornamental things c a n b e m a d e f r o m w o o d . i ' ' a QUAnrr «i«n« or boqk-kxkp- IHG.
