ADVENTURE WITH C4RZZZI/2' BEARS. We clip (he following thrilling adventure w ill) two grizzly hears, from the "Life ami ad ventures "I Kit C.irvin, the famous t^ckwoods man of" tii,* Ricky Mountains," a wotk recent ly published : "Late one aft-rn oon, jm.t after lite little par ty had gone into camp, Kit, having lingered somewhat behind, suddenly r >1- thro' the camp ground, nr. 1 J api d from his horse, giving it in the tare r.fN.i,:* of the men. With In- rifle, he started in pursuit of game fb'supper. Be walk ed about one mile from the tamp, and there came upon the fia-di track of some rik. FoI !TV iug i,u the trail, he discovered the game grazing on the ,-i.le of a lull, to the neighbor- \ flood of til-* arum i!s were s> ne I :vv and scraggy j tune trees. M n ing along wi'h great care, he j finally gained tie cover of the tre,s which i brought him in close proximity ta the elk, and 1 within c.eita'n ru ge c i his ritle. i'liis care : was th ■ rr.. re nen.-siry, as his paity had been ! without *ci • it ii t f>r some lime, and began to' be gra'ly in need thereof. These ever waiy animals saw or scented him, or at any tate, be came c.-it-cijus cf approaching danger from j s I ll.* ca '•> net if** he could reach the spot from ! which he d fiff !to take fits aim. They had | commenced moving, and in anolhei instant : would have hounded aw ay out of all reach of j iiisri!!'*. His eye and piece, however, were | too quick for them, for, bringing his rifle into ! position, and without dwelling upon his aim I he sped a bullet afier the I ngest and fattest ol j tile noble game h> fore him. He ha I wisely allowed for the first leap, for his shot caught j i!** nimble animal in mid air, and brought him j to the earth, writhing in his death agonv, with 1 a f.-arful wound in tne Iwatt and lungs, from which there was no escape. One quiver ran • 1 -"A th,* frame of the twautil'il aniiiial, when ' he breathed hi< last. ihe echoing sound u ins rill-* slot had hardly* died awav, to which the j hunter evei listens v\ ith unfeigned pleasure as' the sweetest music on his ear, whenever he has ! seen that his game is surely v\i;hir his grasp, ! when the last faint m-Todv was broken upon bv j and comjdetely lost lo at- rrific roar, from the : woods directly behind him. lnstaidly turning ! hi-load to note llie source of this sound, Hie! meaning cause of which lit* well knew bv his and ! exjteiienced woodsman's tar educated until its j nicely was truly wonderful, he saw two huge • and terribly angry grizz'y 1.-ears. As his e\*t i first rested upon tlisse uitw eicome guests, they j were last bounding toward liiin, their eyes j Hashing fiery passion, tin i: pearlv teeth glitter- j mg with eagerness to mangle his flesh, and their j monstrous fore-arms, hung with sharp bonv j claws, ready and anxi >u- to hug his body in a j cl ,se and most I s ing emb'are. Tlmie was! not much time for Kit to scratch his head and j cogitate. In fact, ( in* instant spent in thought ' then would have proved his death warrant ! wi*hout hope ofa rej *ieve. The Messrs. Bruin j evidently cuusidei. d their domain mo.-t unjustiy { intruded upon. Kit required no second 1 thought to per<n-ive that the monarchs of the; Americ an lores', were unappeasably angry, and w ,-re iii.-t Hearing him with mighty stiide.— Dropping his title, die little leaden bulht of . which would have been worth to him its weight : in gold if si could by some magic wand have been transferred from the heait ol the elk back I into its breach, he bounded from his position in : close imitation id the elk, but with b Iter suc cess. The trees! he hoped and prayed as he j fairly flew- over the ground with the bears hot ! in chase, for one quick grasp at a sturdy sapling, i By good fortune, or especial ptovidence, Ids j hope, or prayer, was answered. Grasping a : lovvet limb, he swung his body into the first j tier of branches just as passing bruin brushed ; against one ol his legs. Bears climb tre,s, and Kit Cirsnn wa not : ignoraht of the fact. Instantly drawing his j keen edged hunting finite, he rut away f„r 1 dear hie at a thick shorl branch. The knife j and ids energy conquered the limb just as j M I'ssts. Bruin had gathered themselves up for an asce nt, a proceeding on their part to which j CarsqiTwould not give assent. Carson was well I acquainted with the Messrs. Hindi's pride in,! and extreme consideration for their noses. A few sharp taps made with the severed branch upon the noses of the bears, while they fairly made them howl with pain and rage, caused th< mto hastily beat a r. treat. This scene of asending, getting their noses ticfih-d, and again descending, howling with pain and rage, n o w kept Carson and Messrs. Bruin actively busy for some lime. 'I hp huge monsters and monarchs of the mountains were determined not lo give it up so. Such a full and Gir chase, and to be beaten by a simple white man on their own domain ! This evidently galled their sensitive natures, it is tine, the roaring of the bears in Ins rear had stimulated Carson in the race ; so much so, that he undoubtedly ran at the ton of his speed : and being naturally, as well as by long practice, very lleilof fool lie had managed to outstrip his pursuers in the race. It is true he had made short work of climbing the tree and here again had very innocently beaten the bear 3 at their own game, and in one which they took great pride. It is more than probable that the FrbGjom of Th&glit and Opinion. be\rs were in too good a condition to run well. Ha! it been in early spring time they would do iii! less have been much lower in flesh.— The' was their own fauk. too ; they should have I knoyn tfiat racing time cannot be made on highcondition. After leaving their hiberna , ting juarters, they should have been less giv jen tia sumptions habit at the table. A fells were, however, by no manner of ! mean: settled. They had the daring trespasser i on Fir domain tieed, and almost within reach an 1 i <*-d, to keep out of the way of their un ! cometr claws, Kit was obliged to gather him ! s-Fuy in the smallest possible space and cling to .(is topmost bough*. The bears now allow j ed themselves a short respite for breathing, du j ring which they gave vent to their wrath by j mai'A shrill screeches. Then they renewed their endeavors to force the hunter. Mounted on ife'ir hind paws, they would reach for him : but the blows with the stick, applied freely to theii hoses would n.ake them desist. In vain did tley exhaust every means to force the man to (!•• oi'd ; h<- wa< not to be driven or coaxed. The bald knocks they had sustained upon their ! nosesfiad aroused them almost lo madness. To ! get her they made one desperate effort to tear i Kit from the tree. As in al! their pre\ i us at tempt: they were foifi-d, and their ardor damp ened iiui cooled by the drumming operations upon their noses, which, this time was so free ly arif sUongly applied upon one of them as to rnakebim lachrymate and cry out with pain. One at a time they departed ; but it was not ur.iilthey had been out of sight and hearing for > -ume time that Kit considered it safe to ven j tore fmvn from (lie tree, when he listened to regain and immediately to reload his ritle. A Boy's Trill 3. The Spi ing fie Id Republican has a capital ar ticle on this subject. Here are some extracts : lIIS RGELATIONS WITH TIIE "OLD MAN." We suppose that the first severe trial a boy Iras to undergo is to submit his will to the old man, u ijom he is taught to consider bis Cither. To be restrained in doors at night, to be foruid d*n to go in swimming five tunes a day, or to he hindered from pinching the re?t of tlie chil dren just for fun, is an interference with natural inalienable rights, eveiy way injurious to the feelings. And then, when upon some over whelming temptation, '.tie boy asserts his inde pendence of parental control, and receives a "fanning; with a switch from a quince bus!', either up ~ his back or his bare feet, it bocoines r ''JpN n ' " r . r Wing. i.V- • could see that the smart of an operation like * n ..... at nil assuaged by the affectionate assurance that it was bestowed out of pure love. SITTING WITH TIIE GIRLS. The next great Itia! of thai hoy is to be obli ged by a ciiiei master to sit with the girls at school. 'I'LL usually comes before the devel opment of those undeniable affinities which, in ! al't'*r life, would tend to make the punishment ! more endurable. To be point- d out as a "gal ; boy," to be smiled at grimly by the master, i who is so far d* lighted with his ov n ineffable I pleasantry, as logive the little boys license to laugh aloud, and to be placed by tlie side of a gi. I who bad no handkerchief, and no kaowi | edge of the use of that article, is, we submit, a tiialof no mean magnitude. Yd we have ! been there, an 1 have been oblig-d to "sit up close" wi'h big Rachel, laughing and blushing, li:l we came to hate her name. We wonder where the overgrow n, frowzy creature is now, and u bat the condition of her head is? THE FIRST LONG-TAILED COAT. We do r.of believe that any boy ever put on bis Cut long tailed cual w ithont a sense of shame. He first two's his back half off, looking at it in th" glass, and then, when he slops out of doors, it seems to him as if all creation was in a broad grin. The sun laughs in the sky; the cows , turn lo look at him: there are faces at every window; his very shadow mocks him. When he walks by the cottage where Jane lives, he dares r.ot look up lor his life. The very boards creak with consciousness of the change spec, ta- j cle, and the old pair of pants that stop a light ; in the great window* nod with derision. If he is obliged to pass a group oi men and boys, the | trial assumes its most t'nithc stage. 11 is legs I get all mixed up with embairassment, and the j flap of the dangling appendage is Kit upon tiiein, moved by tile wind of his own agitation; he could not feel worse were it a dish-cloth, worn as a badge of disgrace. It is ahaj py time for him w'tu n lie gets to the chinch, and sils down j with bis coat tail undt-r him; but lie is still ap prehensive with thinking ol the Sunday Sthool. i and wonders if any of the children will ask him to "swing his long tail blue." GOING HOME WITH TIIE GIRLS. j Tlie entrance into society may be said to take j place alter boyhood has passed away, yet a mui- | tit tide take the initiative before their beards are ; presentable It is a great trial, either to a ten der or a tough age. For an overgrown boy to go to a door, or to knock or ring with absolute I ceitainty that in two minutes all their eyes will be upon him, is a severe test of courage, lo go before these girls, and make a satisfactory tour of the room without stepping on their toes, and then to sit down and dispose of one's hands, without pulling them into one's pockets, is an achievement which few boys can boast. If a boy can get so far as to measure off ten yarns of tape with one of these girls, and cut it short at each end, he may stand a chance to spend a pleasant evening, but let him not flatter himself that all the trials of the evening are over.— Then comes at last the breaking up. The dear girls don their hoods, and put on their shawls, and look si saucv and mischievous, and unimpressible, as if they did not wish any one to go home with th**m. Then comes the pinch, and the boy that has the most pluck makes up j to the prettiest girl, his heart in his throat, and : his tongue clinging to the roof of his mouth, ' and, crooking his elbow, stammers out the words, "Shall I see you home?" She touches j her fingers to Ins arm, and they waik home a ! bout a foot apart, feeling as awkward'as a couple lof goslings. As soon as she is safe inside her ! own doors, he struts home, and thinks lie lias really been and gone and done it. Sleep comes to him at last, with dreams of Caroline and ' ci incline, and he awakes in the morning and ! finds the door of life open to him, and the pigs squealing for breakfast. CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS. We have passed over churning and learning the catechism, because we are fearful of ma king this article too long, although we might ; have talked of butter that would not be persua ded to come, and perplex ities of a literary turn of mind, and a head that measured seven and a quarter when asked what the chief end of man was. Boyhood is a green passage in a man's experience, in more senses than one. It is a pleasant thing to think over and laugh about now, though it was serious enough then.— ! Many of our present trials are as ridiculous as those which n nv touch the risible* in the rec ollection: and w hen we get to the other world and look upon this, and upon the infancy ot the sou! through which we pass here, we have no doubt that we shall giin over the trials which we experienced when we lost our for tunes, when our mills were swept away or burned, and when we didn't get elected to the Legislature. Men are but boys of a larger grow tii. Skill of the Camanches in the use of Aims. In a private account of the recent great bat tle between the forces of Lieut. Van Darn and the Camanches we find the following : Most of the Indians were armed with bows and spears. The Camanche arrow is a formid able weapon, a full cloth yard long, and barbed with iron; at .one hundred yards it is almost as deadly as a rifle ball, in fret making a fir worse wound. The spears are frequently old Mexican rwoid blades ground sharp on both sides, and firmly fastened into a light, strong pole of mos ■ quite wood. In tlie use of this weapon, as with the bow and arrow, they are very expert. Thev also carry scalping knives, but no toma ; hawks. They are generally well mounted, and I rife with marvelous ski!!, using either rifles or j bows with great dexterity while their horses are on a full g:!i*>p. In approaching an enemy they manage to shield themselves with the ex- I ? r .f qa.irm and one leg, hanging on the side oI !he norsr, „...i ~, ♦f nosition wffF"*Wf§- j charge their arrow from under the horse's neck. . Sai l our guide, "Old Ironsides," in speaking of the Camanche, "It's a mighty hard thing lo hit a Camanche, anyhow, so as to kill him dead.— When th") are mounted they tide all over a horse. I've seen Urn fire arrows from under ; his belly, and kill fellows while their horses i were going like a flash. If you kill an Injun's horse iie don't mind it, but keeps jumping a round letting fly atrows and whooping like a mad devil. Almost any Injun will keep three arrows in tlie air at a time, and some on 'em four. I tell you a fellow's got to keep cool ami draw* a certain bead when he fights Caman ches." To this proposition there being general" assent, the old fellow went on. "Cap?. Jim Oakes, of the 21 Cavalry was out on a scout about a year ago, and on day he came upon a little party of Injuns. The Capt's.Jmeu fired and all the Injuns broke but one; lie mounted and commenced firing, and Oakes says it was'nt two minutes before he had shot two soldiers and j badly wounded five horses, with his d—d ar ■ rows." "And did he escape "No they aot him. Cake's Orderly Sergeant, a first rate fellow, after firing two or three times, shot him in the head. Bat he was a mighty smart Injun." Sensible Girl. As a weary traveler was wending his way j through the mud out in the far west he discov ered a young maiden standing in the door of a small log house. He rode up in front of the house, and asked the maiden for a drink of wa ter; he drank it, and she being the first woman lie had seen for several days, kissed her and of fered her a dime. The traveler was about to resume his journey, but the maiden having never seen a dime asked : "What am 1 todo with the dime ?" "You can use it any way you wish," he re plied, "it is yours." "That being the case," said shp, "I'll give you back the dime and take another kiss!" CoMfANY.—"I wish we could have company j all the time, mother." "Why, my dear ?" "Because father is so pleasenl when company is here. He calls me "dear," and he kisses Henry, and sometimes lie takes me with the j baby on his knee. O! mother, when shall we j have company again, I am so nappy when father loves me!" ! Little Sarah paused. Then she said : l "Mother, why does not our father love us all [the time? It makes us so happy? And, O, ■ didn't he smile so dearly on you to-dav, mother? If he knew how much good it docs he would ! be always so, wouldn't he, mother?" (Up- What is the difference between a Dutch man on a feather-bed and a Know-Nothing? One is Dutch on the down, and the other is down on the Dutch. OTfAn Jiishman near Bosfon, becoming greatly alarmed recently at the severity of the thunder and lightning, fell suddenly upon his knees, exclaiming ; —'O Lord, forgive us and stop this.' WHOLE \OIBER 2831. VOL 2, NO. 26. My Wife is the Cause of it. It is not more than forty years ago that Mr. L. called at the house of Or. 8., one very cold morning, on his way to H.
