Me ,A Run for Life. / ̂ :.m tn 'my young days I was an enthusi- . ,lftic entomologist, and one summer va- eition I was delighted to receive an in­ vitation from a bachelor cousin, Fred Vernon, to spend a week or two with him In a distant county. Fred was agent to Squire Altliorpe, who owned pretty nearly the whole of the parish in wtiieh he lived ; and, as the Squire spent a good •pit of his time away from home, I knew I should be able to room about the place very much as I liked, and should Hjorefore have ample opportunities of adding to my collection of butterflies SUM! other insects, Fred and I had been <•£ school together, and were much more intimate than is usually the case with . relations; but we had somehow lost sight of each other since, and on my part I was very glad of an opportunity of renewing the old friendship. At the time of my visit to Blank- •flbire, the Squire was away on the con­ tinent ; and, on the morning after my arrival, Fred, having some leisure time •ft his disposal, proposed that we should take a ramble round the park, and fln- •h up by visiting the Squire's kernels. The park was a magnificent ,mce, fnlly 600 acres in extent, and weUnCod- ed. Grand old oaks, graoefqHkimes and handsome chestnuts were*®otfced here and there with picturesque irregu­ larity ; while on each side of the hall were clumps of the finest elm trees*! had ever seen, on which, for ages past, •ast numbers of rooks had built their pests. A certain portion of the park itself-i-about a third of the whole ex­ tent--was surrounded with high iron railings, put down to keep in the deer, of which there were about 100. Within the park was a small lake, about twenty . <w thirty acres in extent, teeming with ft»h, surrounded on all sides by giant trees and fringed with beds of waving reeds, while further out into the water were patches of lilies, yeUow'aod white, whose blossoms floated placidly on the unruffled surface. On the other side of the park, stretch­ ing far away inland, was an extensive heath, gently undulating, and covered here and there with patches of gorse and rough grass, which afforded covert for numerous partridges and haree and rab­ bits. Altogel her. the estate "ws a per­ fect sportsman's ptiradise, v^iile for the naturalist it offered unusual' attractions as being the "home of many different kinds of plants and flowers, and supply­ ing food and shelter to insects of everv kind. As for the dogs I saw at the kennel, I have never forgotten them. Each breed Iksd its own special department, and an assistant to see after it. Much as tho spaniels and setters interested me--for I was a bit of a ̂ sportsman as well as a nat­ uralist--I must confess that a pack of splendid bloodhounds struck me most of .all. Their wise, solemn-looking faces, with their gracefully-pendulous ears, as fine and as soft as silk, were indeed a study. This pack, I was told, was not only celebrated for its appearance but also for its work. They were trained to follow a trail, of biped' as well as quad­ ruped, with the most undeviating cer­ tainty ; and their presence in the Squire's kennels did more to prevent poacliiDg than an army of gamekeepers. While we were admiring ths hounds the kennelman told us several tales in illus- tnation of this fact. A few mornings after our visit to the kennels Fred told me, as we sat at break­ fast, that he had some estate business to transact ait the town a few miles off, which wonid require him to be from home nearly the whole day. I could ootte with him, he said, if I chose; but, once at the town, he must leave me to my own devices, and he opined that I would find it rather dulL With thanks for his offer, I assured him that I would much prefer MI entomological expedition by myself to hanging about the town ; but at the same time I suggested that, if my services would render him any help, 1 would gladly sacrifice my own comfort to his. With a laugh, he said that I should only be in his way if I came with him, and we settled the matter there and then. , After breakfast Fred's horse was brought round to the door, and, with starting injunctions to me to go where 1 liked, he rode off. Shortly after his departure, armed with my butterfly-net, and with a goodly store of collecting-boxes for the recep­ tion of my spoils, I too started for a long, solitary ramble across the heath. I had been gone, I suppose, rather more than a couple of hours, and had been wander­ ing about here and there in an apparent­ ly aimless fashion in pursuit of speci­ mens, visiting two or three old pits, and the various hollows in the heath as I came to them, when, on mounting some rising ground, the deep notes of a blood­ hound were borne faintly to me by the gentle breeze that was blowing from the direction of the kennels. As I listened, the sound appeared to grow a trifle mor j distinct, and then entirely died away. Thinking that the pack was out after an escaped deer, I did not pay much atten­ tion to what I heard, but proceeded on my way to the next bit of high ground, ' which from its elevation would give me an opportunity of observing in the dis­ tance the movements of the dogs. A brisk walk sufficed to bring me to the top of this spot, and here the deep mel­ low voices of the hounds were heard more distinctly, and, as it seemed to me, sounded much nearer than on the previ­ ous occasion. They are coming this way, I thought to myself; and straining my eyes in the direction from which the sounds came, I tried to distiuguish the pack. This was no easy matter, for the hounds were of a color not readily vis­ ible in the distance and, on the burnt grass of the heath. However, I at last sucoeeded in making them out, aud per­ ceived that they were alone. This sur­ prised me, for Fred had mentioned that the kennedman always accompanied them when they were out for exercise, or when they were being used to drive bo^k any deer that had sucoeeded in get­ ting over the high railing that surround­ ed Ujie part of the park. As I watched them, they appeared to be slowly approaching in my direction, and to nay; astonishment they seemed, as nearly as I could tell, to be taking ex­ actly the same <x>urse, which was a very erratic one, as 1 had done. Spell-bound, I watchad them disappear in one of the pits I had visited, and, as they vanished from my sight, the music of their voices ceased, the sound waves being inter­ cepted by the intervening ground. In a very short time they emerged from the pit, scrambling up the side just where I had oome, and then hunting on in a compact hody, led by"oie hound, which, bong slightly larger than the others, was on that aooonnt mem conspicuous. Slowly they made for the next pit, giv­ ing tongue as they «me on. Suddenly the thought flashed across my mind: "They have broken loose and are hunting me." What was to be done? Here was I, a stranger to the hounds, alone and un­ armed in the middle of a vast heath. No house or shelter of any kind was near. For a moment I was paralyzed; but, collecting my thoughts, I began to turn about for some way of escape. That the hounds, if once they came up with me, would attack me, I well knew, and all thoughts of attempting to resist them were out of the question. Hastily throwing off the sachel which, full of boxes and cases, was slung across my shoulders, I buttoned up my coat and started off at a steady trot. My net, which was a strong, serviceable one, I kept in my hand, thinking it might be of use. Scanning the very limited horizon eagerJy to catch sight of any shelter that might be visible, I saw nothing that could help me. It was clear that my best chance of safety lay in my being able to foil the hounds by making them lose the trail. The tales I had read in my boyhood of the hair-breadth escapes of runaway slaves in Cuba flashed across my mind, and I suddenly recollected that in these stories water almost always played a prominent part. To cast my eyes round in seaich of the stream was the work of a moment; but, as may be imagined, on the high ground where I was, no stream was possible. No time, was to be lost, for already the notes of my pursuers sounded clearer and clearer, showing that they were gaining on,me. I dare not run at too great a speed, for I knew I should soon become exhausted. The undulating nature of the ground made it very hard work for me; but, for all that, it was not an unmixed evil, as it prevented the hounds, which now gained steadily on me, from quitting the trail to run by sight. On descending the slope, I was delighted to behold a long and somewhat winding pool of wa­ ter. Here, thought I, was my chance; and I immediately went for it" The run was beginning to tell on me, and I knew well that the reduction in my speed, rendered necessary by my having to wade almost knee-deep in water, would enable mo to recover my breath some­ what. A>rtuaately the water was not very deep--little more than a foot--and after the first few steps, the bottom was fairly firm and hard. My progress now was not only slow bnt very fa­ tiguing; and nearer and neater came the hounds. After wading about a hundred yards, a stronger gust of wind than usual wsfted the deep tones of my pursuers even more clearly to my ears, and the fear that my ruse might not be success­ ful compelled me to quit the water once more and toil wearily up the sloping side of the miniature glen in which the pool was situated. Once on the summit of the slope, I paused and looked behind, to catch, if possible, a hurried glimpse of mypur- suers. To my horror, I saw them stream over the side of the hill and make straight for the spot where I entered the water. Here, as I had hoped, the hounds were puzzled, but only for a little. I was rapidly becoming exhausted with my long run, sad more than once I was tempted to stop and collect a heap of stones and try to k«ep the hounds at bay until help should arrive. Reflecting, however, that it might be an hour or two before the kennelman discovered the whereabouts of his lost pack, I gave up the idea for the present, and moved on with all the speed I couid muster. Still losing my trail, the hounds had been pilent, and I began to flatter myself that they had lost the track, when suddenly the recommencement of their cries told me that they had hit off the scent again. On, on I tottered, my head reeling and my eyes swimming with the un­ wonted exertion. Thoughts of the home I might never see again floated across my brain and renewed my failing strength. My pursuers were gaining fast now, and already no move than a couple of hundred yards intervened be­ tween us. Presently a sudden increase in the music behmd--which just then was any­ thing but music to me--caused me to look round, when I saw that the hounds had viewed their quarry, and, with heads in the air, were racing on at well-nigh double their former speed. Increasing my pace without even looking where I ran, I caught my foot in a tuft of grass, and nearly fell, turning half round in my efforts to save myself. It was a fortunate trip for me; for at a short distance off, on my right, I saw a stunted oak, nearly dead, it is true, but high enough from the ground to afford mo a sate resting-place, if only I could climb up into the branches before the dogs reached me. If I had not tripped, I should have passed this tree without seeing it until it was too late to be of Bervice to me, for it was hidden by some higher ground from my view until I reached the spot where I nearly fell, and then I was past it. With the little strength I had left I dashed for the tree, but to my dismay I saw that the lower branches were be­ yond my reach. No time was to be lost, for already the hounds were close at hand. Suddenly I remembered that I had my butterfly net, which, providen­ tially, was strong and serviceable, in my hand; and on reaching the foot of the tree I hooked the ring of the net over the broken stump of a bough, and by dint of almost superhuman edition I managed, 1 hardly know how, to scale the rough bark and drag myself into the polled head of the tree. I was only just in time, for as I reached this place of safety the hounds were round the foot of the tree bajiag furiously. Feeling a deadly faintness creeping over me, I had enough presence of mind left to ujulo the stout leathern belt I wore round my waist, and fasten myself by it to one of the branches. Then the baying of the hounds, the rustling of the leaves, and, as I fancied, the blowing of a horn, were mingled together in a con­ fused murmur, and I swooned. When I recovered consciousness I was stretched on the ground, my head sup­ ported on the knees of the old kennel­ man, while one of his assistants was at­ tempting to pour a little brandy through my clenched teeth. My old pursuers were lying on the ground close by, watching the proceedings with solemn indifference, and a couple of horses were cropping the grass a few paces away. I was soon sufficiently restated to mount one of the hones, and as we walked akrady home the old man told me how it happened that the hounds had broken loose. He had taken them out for a run on the heath as iitnia^ said, when suddenly they appeared to hit off a trail of some kind. Thinking, as I did when I first heard them, that one of the deer had escaped from the park, he encouraged them to follow up the scent; and, as he was rid­ ing oyer some rough ground, his horse put its foot in a rabbit's burrow and tell, throwing him heavily. The old mau was somewhat stunned by the fall, and, when he came to himself, he found that the hounds were away, and the horse had evidently gone back to the stables. ^ Thither he also hastened, and found his horse, and, taking one of his " helps " with him, he set off in search of the hounds. Meanwhile these had followed up the trail by themselves, with the results mentioned above. The two men rode _ after them as well as they could, having only the sound, and that at times verv faint, to guide them. The nature of the ground over which they were riding obliged them to proceed slowly; and it was some time, probably, after I had fainted that, instead of the deer they expected to find, they had come upon me hanging by my belt in the tree. " Would the hounds have killed me if I had nof been able to find shelter?" I presently asked. "Yes; most certainly they would," was the old man's reply, " if they had been left to themselves." What a narrow escape I felt I had! But for the refuge of that solitary tree, my lite would most certainly have been sacrificed. When at length I reached my cousin's house, the reaction conse­ quent upon the intense excitement of the past lew hours had begun, and I had to betake myself to bed, where a raging fever detained me for a few weeks. Dur­ ing all that period my thoughts were occupied with the fearful experiences of that day on the moor; and, even now, though restored to my former health and vigor, it is not without a shudder that I am able to think of that run for my life.

A Dallas (Texas) letter savs: "A tragic death has just occurred in our neighbor­ ing county of Hill worth relating, and worthy of Virginius or any other Roman father. One year ago George Arnold came to Dallas on private business, and while walking the streets was bitten by a worthless cur which was frothing at the mouth, aud showing other symptoms of hydrophobia. Mr. Arnold became alarmed and very much excited when convinced in his own mind that the deg was mad. He went to a physician ana had the wound severely. cauterized. Then, going home, life was still very un­ easy, and dreaded hydrophobia so much that he hunted up a mad-stone and had it applied for several weeks, off and on. He took every other precaution which was suggested, resting all the time under a mortal dread that the virus had gone into his system, and would sooner or later kill him. He had a wife and sev­ eral small children living on a rather isolated farm, and the thought that he might suddenly lose his reason and harm his little babes horrified him. The other day be began to experience strange feel­ ings, and at once concluded his time had oome. He then procured a twelve-foot trace-chaiu and strong lock and went to the woods. After writing his wife a calm letter, in which he told her what was about to happen, giving directions as to his wishes after death, and pouring out a volume of love for her aud their chil­ dren, he ran the chain round a tree, drew it through the large ring at the end, and then wound the other end around his ankle so tight that it would not slip over the foot, locked it with the lock, and threw the key far beyond his leach. The body was found two days after, still chained to the tree. There was all the evidence necessary to show the horrible death from hydrophobia. The ground was torn up to the full length of the chain, the nails of the fingers wrenched off, and all his front teeth out in scratliiug and biting the tree, and every thread of clothing off his body. The Inxiy was dreadfully lacerated with these, the only weapons the madman could use. He had judged rightly what would have been the consequence had he remained at home, and, knowing that there was no lipman skill that could have cured him, preferred death alone, and iu that way, to doing harm to those so near and dear to him as a wife and children. "Arnold was originally from Talla­ dega, Alabama, where he" married, and where his widow has many friends and relatives." President and Mrs. Polk. President Polk was nearly 50 years of age when he was inaugurated, and was no novice in public life, having served for fourteen consecutive years in Con­ gress, and for two years as Governor t f the State of Tennessee. He was a t,pare mau, of unpretending appearance and middle stature, with a rather small head, a full, angular brow, penetrating dark gray eyes, and a firm mouth. Mis hair, which he wore long and brushed bac k behind his ears, was touched with-*ilver when he entered the White House, aud gray when he left it, He was a worthy and well-qualified member of the fra­ ternity of Freemasons and a believer in the creed of the Methodists, although, out of deference to the religions opinions of his wife, he attended w orship with her at the Rev. Mr. Sprole's Presbyterian Church. Calm, cold and intrepid in his moral character, he was ignorant of the beauty of moral uprightness in the con­ duct of public affaire--ambitious of power, aud succensfiU in the pursuit of it. He was very methodical and remark­ ably industrious, always finding time to listen patiently to the stories of those who came to him as petitioners of pat­ ronage and place. But his arduous labors impaired his health and shortened his life. Before his term of office had half expired, his friends were pained to witness his shortened and enfeebled step, ind the air of languor and exhaustion whicn sat upon him. Mrs. Polk was a strict Presbyterian, and she shunned what she regarded us "the vanities of the world" whenever it was possible for her to do so. She did not, jKBsess the queenly grace of Mrs. Madison, or the warm-hearted hos­ pitality of Mrs. Tyler, but she presided over the White House with great digni­ ty. She was of medium height and Bize, with very black hair, dark eyes and complexion, and formal yet gracetul de­ portment. At the inauguration of her husband, she wore a black -silk dress, a long black-velvet cloak with a deep cape, trimmed with fringe and tassels, and a purple-velvet bonnet, trimmed with a satin ribbon. She would not permit dancing at the White House, but she did all in her power to render the ad­ ministration of Mr. Polk popular. One morning a lady found her" reading.' " I have many books presented to me by the writers " said she, "and I try to read them all. At present this is not possi­ ble ; but this evening the author of this book dines with the President, and I could not be so unkind as to appeal- wholly ignorant and unmindful of his gift." At one of her evening receptions a gentleman remarked : " Madam, you have avery genteel assemblage to-night." "Sir," replied Mrs. Polk, with perfect good humor, but very significantly, "I never have seen it otherwise."--Tim A tlantic. One Who Has Killed 1,164 Deer. The Elmira Free Press says : Charles O. Smith lives in Tuscarora Township, Steuben County, about four hides from Addison. In conversation with our cor­ respondent he said: "I came from Che­ nango County into this region in 1840. It was a wilderness into which we went. Not a tree of the old forest had been felled. There was great hunting here­ abouts in those days," continued Mr. Smith. " I remember well when my wife would say to me, ' Well, Charles, I want you to go out and get me a dter.' I would start in the afternoon when the sun was only an hour high and get three or four deer before it got very dark. Why, I have myself killed as high as eighty-four deer in one season. I have kept account of the number I have killed and it is 1,164, all, too, within a radius of six or seven miles from this spot, and every one in Steuben County. My father taught me to shoot on the run, long years ago, when we were living in Chenang' Couuty, and when I was but a little boy. We would go ont on a side hill and my father would roll a pumpkin down it.

Somte persons appear to have a wrong idea as to the time. It was the year 1816. It has been called the "year without a sum­ mer;" for there was sharp frost in every month. There are old farmers still liv­ ing in Connecticut who remember it welL It was known as the "year without a summer." The farmers used to refer to it as "eighteen hundred and starve to death." January was mild, as was also Februaty, with the exception of a few days. The greater part of Maroh was cold apd boisterous. April opened warm, but grew colder as it advanced, ending with snow and ice and wiuter cold. In May ice formed haif an inch thick, buds and flowers were frozen and corn killed. Frost, ice and snow were common in June. Almost every green thing was killed, and the fruit was nearly all de­ stroyed. Snow fell to the depth of three inches in New York and Massachusetts, and ten inches in Maine. July was ac­ companied with frost and ice. On the 5th ice was formed of the thickness of window glass in New York, New En­ gland, and Pennsylvania, and corn was nearly all destroyed in certain sections. In August ioe formed half an inch thick. A cold northwest wind prevailed nearly all summer. Corn was so frozen that a great deal was cut down aud dried for fodder. Very little ripened in New England, even here in Connecticut, and scarcely any even in the Middle States. Farmers • were obliged to pay $4 or $5 a bushel for corn of 1816, for seed for the next spring's planting. The first two weeks of Sep­ tember were mild, the rest of tho month was oold, with frost, and ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. October was more than usually cold, with frost and ice. November was cold and blustering, with snow enough for good sleighing. December was quite mild and comforta­ ble.--Hartford Times, ProrimMM.

No human mind i» contented withont occupation. No hnmau soul ia satisfied withont an aim or purpose in life. The greatest success iu life consists not in tbe mere accumulation of riches, hut in be­ ing able to acquire wealth with a dispo­ sition to apply it in such a manner that it shall be a comfort and blessing to others--not in the mere giving away of money, bnt in putting people in a w»y to. labor and help themselves. There n no pleasure in oppression. There ia no joy in grinding and exacting gold from the poor; but there is a great deal of genuine satisfaction in being able to offer steady and honorable employment to the many willing hands that have nothing to do. One of the greatest enjoyments of the prosperous business man consists in being able to comfortably provide for the many employes in liia house and manufactory. In doing this he is ful­ filling his obligations to society; he be­ comes a useful and honored citizen; business to him is real pleasure; he en­ joys his successes, when they are fairly won because he feels that he deserves them. f When a business man has the right kind of a pnrpose in life he enjoys his occupation, he feels a just and worthy pride in his prosperity, he is pleased with the respect and gratitude of those whom he directs and controls in the management of his affairs, aud he feels that in benefitting himself he is confer­ ring a fa'/or upon others. THE gravest poverty is Chat of our own nature. The resources we most need to cnltivate are those within ourselves. The only true rich man is he who is rich, not he who has riches; the wealth a man is can never be taken. $66 a week in your own town. Terms and $5 outfit free. Addmt H.
