MY FIRST SHOT AT A TIGER. It was iu the month of April, one of the hottest months of an unusually hot In- dian season, now some ten or twelve years ago, that 1 set out with my friend P cm a tiger hunting expedition for the Jug- dispore jungle. The vast jungle, or impenetrable forest, as it may justly be termed, was, at the time of which I write, the haunt of num erous wild beasts, and among these many Bengal tigers, which were the terror of the neighborhood, and which, from their im mense strength and ferocity, proved them selves in several encounters such danger- ous antagonists that few Europeans cared to attack them. From the first moment of my placing foot on Indian sod, however, I had greatly desired to make closer acquaintance with these formidable brutes,' of which 1 had heard so much, and on the day in question I was in high spirits on setting out. P (or Clement, as I familiarity called him), was a thorough sportsman and a splendid shot ; and although this was to to be my first meeting with these “mon arclis of the Indian forests,’ 1 had little doubt of our success. dairying each a trusty rifle, we left the small town of J ugdispore, where we had been staying, at an early hour of the morn ing, and in about two hours’ time arrived at the borders of the jungle of the same name. .Before starting, Clement had proposed that we should take our swords with us, so that at the conclusion of our sport we might indulge ip a little sword practice, of which he was passionately fond, and at which he was a great adept. To this I agreed, and accordingly wc gave our swords to the care of two Indians, who were to accompany us to beat the bush. Arrived at the jungle, we lost no time in entering it by a small beaten path, our two Indians taking the lead. Wending our way through this for nearly an hour, wc emerged on an open glade, in the center of which stood two palm trees. Towards these we tacitly di-’i reeled our Steps, and have sent our Indians to beat the surrounding jungle, we kept close under the shade of the trees, anx iously awaiting the result. We could scarcely have been waiting more than den minutes, when a fierce grow) suddenly startled us both, and almost at the same moment a full-grown' leopard sprang from the jungle. We fired simul taneously, and the huge brute fell dead al most at our feet. Before firing, I had taken care to aim for the shoulder, where I knew a wound would, in all probability, prove and as I had fired steadily, 1 was pretty sure my bullet had told. It had struck me, ■however, that Clement, who was usually such a skillful marksman, had this time entirely failed, or that he had only wound where he had intended to kiljj , After the Smoke from our rifles had cleared away, I was the first to speak. ' “ You have not sustained your old pres tige as a shot,” I said, addressing my friend; “for you see you have only wounded, where my bullet has killed ; “What do you mean?” he i “I mean that for the first time in your life you havenot succeeded in your aim,” : j replied; “that the death of that leopard (pointing to the dead body of our late an i tagonist) is due to me alone.’ ; Clement looked up with such a look of ! astonishment'in bis face as I never saw be i fore. Then he spoke camly and deliber ateiy__“lf you had never fired,” he said, ■ “that leopard would have lain where it now lies.” ■ ’ ~ . j It was too bad. To bethus contradict ! ed when I was convinced of the truth of what 1 had stated, was to me insupport OUR UNIOH. ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1862 able. At first I grew irritated—theri an gry ; but while my words waxed warm he retained complete control over his temper, and his replies were calm and decided.— It was, perhaps, this very exercise of control over his temper that so; exasperated; me, and made me loSe mine; but certain it is that, completely forgetting myself, and giv ing vent to my ungovernable rage, I called him a liar, accusing him at the same time of striving to take away from mei the honor which was justly due me. When ! had said that word which no ma* should say to another, which 1 could not have said had I been quite myself, I bitter ly repented it, • Such a change as came over Clement I never saw before, and hope never to see again. A rush of blood suffused his iface, and his whole frame literally shook .with nervous agitation, while his fingers grasped convulsively the stock of his rifle. With an almost superhuman effort which was intensely painful fur me to see he regained his self-possession ; and though his face was now ashy pule, and his eyes fixed and glassy, his tones when he spoke were calm, quiet and deliberate. “Yon have called me a liar. - ’ lie paid : “ you shall first prove your words, and then you shall account to me for them,” and Ite beckoned me to follow him. I obeyed mechanically. Arrived at the dead body of the leopard, ('lenient adress cd me—“ Where do you say your bullet entered ?” he asked. “ Near the shoulder,” 1 replied. “Then perhaps you can find it,” he said, bitterly. J stooped down, and scanned carefully the body of the leopard. There was no wound to show that a bullet had entered near the shoulder, but there were evident signs of one having glanced from the shoulder-blade. 1 looked up—l did not speak i it was evident that Clement saw in my face what he knew already. “And now,” he said, you will see that mv bullet pierced its heart!” Looking down again I saw. sure enou’gh, close to the region of the leopard's teart, a wound where a bullet had entered, which must have caused death so suddenly and instantaneously that it had scarcely drawn any blood. There was no longer any doubt in my mind ; 1 was thoroughly con vinced. “And now.” continued Clement, address ing me —“Now that you have not been able to prove your words, you shall either retract them, or you shall account to me for them.” ‘•I acknowledge that 1 am wrong, Cle ment,” 1 said, bitterly, lor his arbitrary manner irritated me : “but you must learn that I am not to be intimidated into re tracting my words.” “Then you shall not leave this place alive /” Ashe spoke these words, he raised his rifle slowly to his shoulder and pointed it at me. I saw by his determined look that he meant what he said, yet I was not afraid. Leaning my rifle against the stem of a tree, I folded my arms on my breast, arid con fronted him. “If you wish to commit murder,”; I said —“ If you would murder a ■ defenceless man, you may do so. I shall not protect myself.” Clement lowered his rifle. “ No, Ido not wish to murder you,” he said in that icy tone which froze my blood : “ but you shall render me ample satisfaction jin fail fight for the insult you bavC thought fit to put upon me.” “ As you please,” I replied. “You will be good enough,” he contin ‘ ued, “to take up your position with your rifle behind the palm tree near which you stand, while I place myself behind the one near me. But stay,” he continued, “should our rifles fail, which I do not think prob able;, we.bave our swords;” and taking his from one of the Indians, he buckled it to his side. I did the same. “ And now,” continued Clement,; taking up his position, while I followed his exam ple, “ when the sun’s shadow touches that sapling, (pointing to one which grew al most equidistant from our two trejes, but slightly nearer to the jungle,)you will step out and fire.” “ Agreed,” I said, sullenly—“ I will be readyand glancing toward the sapling, I saw that the shadow of the siio was creeping slowly nearer and nearer, and that in about ten minutes it would touch it. During the whole of the foregoing scene, which I have endeavored to depict as truthfully as possible, and which took place in less time than 1 take to relate it, our two Indians had remained as immova ble, and almost as impassible, as ; statues, doubtless well pleased, or caring little wether one or both of their enemies, the Feringhees, should be killed. i j Up to this time I had acted under the impulse of the moment and almost without thought; but now that the excitement of the time was over, I could realize the inten sity of my position. Clement, I had good reason to know, was a skilled marksman, and I knew also that he would have little mercy. Already, then, I had almost given myself up for lost! But even in I this mo ment of dread and almost certain; death, I would not have retracted my iyords nor have apologised for the world. [No, my fIXDEPKNIJiixT IK EVEUYTIUKO.] pride forbade it, Y*t, angered and in censed against him as I still was, 1 had not last all those feelings of friendship which 1 had entertained for him ■ before our quarrel, and I felt that, should he fall by my hand, 1 should never f irgive myself. Thus I had determined that I would fire low—that I would only wound him, if pos sible. But if I should be killed! Strenu ously as I strove to banish it, this thought kept recurring to my blind again and again. I was so young to die; but if die I must, I felt that I would sooner fall by Clement’s hand than a stranger’s. But without on.e word of adieu to myi relatives —to those I loved best in this world!—the thought was maddening. During the short inter val of time which would elapse before the sun's shadow should touch the sapling, an after-thought struck; me, and I called to Clement—“ If one of us should lie killed,” 1 said, “ who will know he was not mur dered ?” •’Our Indians are witnesses,” he replied. “Black testimony Will not suffice in a court of law," 1 answered. “True,” he said;.-“I had not thought of that. I will write.” And tearing a leaf from bis pocket-book, he took a pencil from his pocket and wrote the fallowing words “ The undersigned have this day en terecjdn mortal combat. That everything was conducted in a spirit of equity our two Indians, Mohul and Visram Leg, can tes- tify. He who falls, falls in fair light.” Underneath he signed his name ; then passing the document to me, he requested me to sign. I did so, and returning it to him, Clement hung it on the bough of the sapling, then resumed his position. And now'that the work of death was complete, I glanced towards the sapling. The shadow of the sun was very close toil; I saw that in a few minutes it must touch. Banishing with an indiscribable effort the thoughts which came crowding fast and thick upon me, 1 kept my eye fixed on the sapling, camly awaiting the dread moment. , And now it hadi come. The shadow which had l>een stealing nearer and nearer now touched the stem of the sapling, and at the precise moment, and almost simul taneously, we both stepped from our post and tired! I felt Clement’s bullet, with a whiz and a dull booming sound, pass close to my cheek —so close, indeed, that I almost thought I was wounded. When this smoke from our rifles cleared away, I saw Clement standing : erect; there was no doubt I had missed him, and that in at tempting to fire low I had entirely failed. But there was no tipie to think, for draw ing his sword, and uttering almost an im precation at the failure of his shot, he sprung forward to the attack. I attempted to draw my sword, but it would not come. The more I tugged, the firmer it remained ; the more violence I ■used, the faster it stuck. 1 verily believe in that moment I cursed that sword. Relinquishing, then, my hopeless efforts, I folded my arms op my breast and con fronted Clement, calmly awaiting his on set and the sword which I knew would be plunged into my breast. But it was never to come. Just as he had upraised his sword in his right hand ready to plunge it into me, and that I thought my last mo ment had arrived, it was hurled violently from his hand to some distance, and he himself was thrown with force to the ground. I looked for my deliverer and his assail ant. ■ I had not to look long. At a short distance from me Clement lay on the ground, and on the top of him, and growl ing fiercely, was an immense Bengal tiger. There was no doubt in my mind that the huge brute had seen him rush across the glade, and had sprimg upon him from the jungle. I cannot say what thoughts at that mo ment passed through my mind. Clement I knew was unarmed ; his rifle he had fifed at me, and his swopd had been hurled vio lently from his hand. When I say un armed, I own that I knew he carried about him a small: clasp-knife ; but what was that against snch an antagonist 1 Yet I knew he was brave, and even in this perilous moment he did not lose his self-possesson, but drawing his clasp knife from his belt, he struck well-directed and strongly-given; blows oh the head mid throat of his assailant; but they had but little effect save to enrage even more the huce brute, who bud now raised his vie-, tim from the ground, and was preparing to carry hihi off to the jungle. I mpst confess that evil thoughts were .passing through my brain. Here was a man who but a fninute before had been tliirsting after my blood, in the power; of 1 a merciless assailaint; arid I, whose life he ' had striven to takp, was the only one Who could save him.' \Should 1 leave him to his fate ? Heaven be praised that this thought had not long dominion over me. I forgot in another moment my quarrel with Cle ment, and only remembered the feelings of friendship whijeh I had entertained for. him, arid determined to save him even .at the cost of my lift. . These thoughts had flashed through my raind_in a second pf time; and loading my rifle hastily, I raised it to my shoulder, bending one knee bn the ground to ensure a steadier aim. And now the cries of the Indians had become terrific, and almost unnerved me; and motioning them to he quiet, 1, waited till the tiger should expose a Vital part at which I might aim. In this moment of intense anxiety I felt my heart audibly beating, for 1 knew that, should 1 fail in my aim, no earthly power could save ) myTriend j that the ti ger would bear him to the jungle, and that 1 should never see him again-; and I knew also that, in this moment of peril, Clement would rather have died than have called to me for succor—that his pride would forbid it.- However, the decisive moment had ar rived, for the tiger, no doubt, by theories of the Indians, turned his head round towards me, growling fiercely. I did not wait a moment, but, taking aim for the temple, I fired. My ball pierced its brain, aud the; huge brute rolled dead on the ground. Springing forward to Clement, I found him lying on the ground insensible- Tak ing some water ! from some chatties or earthenware vessels that we, had brought with us, I bathed his face with it; then producing a flask: from my pocket, I poured some brandy down his throat. The strong liquid ineffably revived him, and in a few minutes he was enabled to regain his feet. Seeing that he was still, however, too weak to return home on foot, I dispatched our two Indians for a palanquin, while 1 remained with him till their return. After the Indians had departed, Cle ment remained silent for some time; then addressing me, said: T “Who tired that shot? To yvhom am I indebted for my life?” “I did,” I replied. “Good God!”: he said, “this is a just retribution; that the man whose life I was bent on taking away should have saved my own. Forgive me, Harry,” he continued, coming forward and calling me by my name; “we have both been very wrong, but we have learned a lesson that 1 trust we shall never forget.” He held out his hand ; 1 grasped it eagerly. My joy knew no bounds, i What I had thought to be impossible had now come to pass. Harry and I were again reconciled During the half hour which elapsed be- fore our Indians returned we , neither of us spoke—l believe our hearts were too ull! When the palanquin arrived, I assisted Clement into it, and in a ! short time we safely arrived at our homes. He is now completely recovered of his wounds. Many years have passed since then, yet I still as vividly remember the details of the scene which I have attempted to. describe as on the day they happened. We have been better friends ever since.

Wounded and Killed.*—lt takes but little space in the columns of daily papers; but ho! what long household stories and biographies are; every one of these strange names, we read over and forget! “Wounded and killed!” Some eye reads the name to whom it is dear as life, and some heart is struck or broken with the blow made by the name among the list.
