A co-boy o'er tho prairie w Ide,
Upcii a mustang staunch and true,
Thro' cacti wet with morning djw,
In search of roving cattle herd.
Of n'l the cow-bo. s llerco and wild,
The llcrcest, w lldcst boy was ho,
And as ho skimmed the dusty lea,
Ho looked like Nature's putted child.
Far outacross tho weary plain
He cast his eager Hashing eye,
And sawn heifer, lean and spry,
fast heading toward a Held of grain.
Into his roaming must ing's side
Ho plunged hU spur, and with a moan.
Tho mustang bucked, despite the groan-
"Hahal Ho ho!" tho cow-boy cried.
Again It bucked-lh s tlmo with c.re
Andero thatcow-boy guessed tho cause
or know whcre.ln the world ho was,
Ho shot Into tho startled air !
The probabilities are, we ween,
lie's Mill going up or coming down,
For nor In country nor In town.
Has that there cow-boy Mncu been seen.
And that w.n eighteen months ago I
Tho mustang waits upon the plain
For his bclov'd todrop again
And glva him Just another show.
Select Story.
A DOUliLK AM11USH.
Wo lived in Florida (said .Mis. Wal
ters) through all the Seminole war, which
lasted seven years, so that I irew up
with the names of tlio great hostileehiels
Osceola, Alligator, "Wild Cat and Tiger
Tail making a part of my childhood.
A sense of peril was always present
with us. I remember tho feelings with
wliiuh wo heard of tho slaughter of Lieu
tenant Dado and his command. The
tragedy took place in open battle, yet it
beemeil dreadful that so many brave men
shou'd be shot down in the elark woods
with the painted savages yelling around
them.
In the spring when I was thirteen and
my brother Arthur fifteen, tho war was
at its worst and my father talked
strongly of removing to a greater dis
tance from the danger.
Among our few slaves.consistiiig only
of two black families was a lialf-idiolic
yemng negro named .Jason, who hail the
privilege of wandering pretty much as he
pleased. He would often remain all day
in the forest, either lying asleep or mock
ing the gobble of the wild turkeys.
Ono day he returned with an appear
ance which startled us. His woolly head
had been completely shaved, and his
black face dyed to a bright scarlet. lie
hail, howover, received no real hurl, and
seemed not in the least terrified by tho
ordeal through which he must have pass
ed. AVo gathered from his lnoken senten
ces that he had fallen in with tlio Indians,
and it was plain that they had been in
some mca are tiuo to tho proverbial res
pect of their people for idiots. An ordi
nary person they would havo ta 'liliccd
without mercy, but when Jason stared
aimlessly at tho tree tops or gobbled.they
simply set their mark upon him and let
him go.
Tho incident Hhowed that our danger
was more imminent than had been sup
posed; but there was fortunately a ninad
of Tinted States cavalry picketed within
a few miles of us, and my father lost no
time in notifying the ollicer in command
of what hail occurred. I ho soldiers,
howover, could find nothing of the ene
my, anil in tlio lneanuino wo passeu a
couple of days in very anxious suspense.
The movements of Indian warriora
arc erratic, and to while men unaccoun
table. My Mil cuts began to regain conhdeiicc,
believing that the Seininoles were gono
from tho neighborhood, as they doubt
less were for the time, leather said they
wero probably pcoutb', and there was no
telling how they might have scattered
tliemselves.or at what pointsomoof them
might appear next. Ho hoped.howevcr,
that tho pre.-ence of the soleliers hail led
tlieni to abandon any design they might
have entertained of attacking us.
On tlio third day after .Jason's ad ven
tine we were feeling much relieved. Tho
negro men were at woik in the lields.and
my father had gono to a considerable
distance from tlio house. Mother.Arthur
ami myself witli the female servants
wero within doors.
1'ieseiitly, not far off, wo heard tho
gobble of a wild turkey, or what seemed
such, although, as turkeys wero not in
tho habit of approaching in near the
house, wo imagined Jason to bo at his
old silly pastime again, imitating tho call
which ho could so well counterfeit.
Tlio notes wero continued with great
regularity at intervals of a miuiito or
two, and so natural wero they that
Arthur would havo been all on llio to
sci.o his rillo and hurry in eiuest of tho
giime,h:id he not remembered how often
ho had been led on a fiuitless chaso by
tho vocal powers of the poor idiot.
" o all i;.cel in something, saul my
mother, "and Jason was made to call
tin keys. Hut I do wish ho would bo
(iiiiet it makes me nervous to hear
him."
"Jason," said a lilile negro girl who
just then came in from the riar of tho
premises i "why missus,.! anon done gone
asleep in do Hhadoat do hack oh do wash
lioii.se. I dono seen him dis minute."
Arthur hastened out-doors, looked be
hind tho wash-hou.sc,and having assured
himself that tho black boy had nothing
to do with tho gobbling, returned ejuick
ly for his lifle.
"It is a real turkey." said ho "and he's
somewhere in tlio hollow."
The hollow was made by a depression
of the ground about fifty yards from tho
homo front and running parallel with it.
Upon its further side was a decayed
stump some four or live feet high, stand
ing below the sloping banks, and with
its top just visible from the house. Of
this stump tho portion next to the slope
had so fallen away as to leave a large
cavity, eapablo of containing a man.
Tho gobble indicated tho turkey's
whereabouts pretty definitely.
"He's some where near that stump,"
said Arthur, "perhaps inside of it, sit
ting up on tlio rotten wood toward the
top. I'm afraid he'll get high enough to
sec me. 15ut I'll make a circuit and
creep around where the ground is lower."
Jle went out at the back door.so as to
make sure of not being seen. Tho land
on our right, a few rods from the house
was very low, the descent stretching off
in crescent shapo until it reached tho
gully, which crossed it at a fair ritle-shot
distance from the stump.
Arthur, young as ho was, had already
become an excellent marksman, having
for two years posse?i-?l arille of Ids own,
which father bought him, and which was
almost always in his hands. Wo had no
doubt that, "with anything like an ordi
nary chance, ho would put a ball
through tho turkey's head, and return in
triumph.
Hut somehow, after he went out, a
sudden thought seemed to striko mother.
Wasn't it strango that a turkey should
come so far out of the woods, anil keep
up such a gobbling in the hollow? Xo,
not strange, perhaps, nor very unusual ,
and sho wondered at her own uneasiness.
Hut her nerves had been shaken by poor
Jason's incident.
The house had a half-stry in front,
with two small windows above the
ground-rooms, and mother's feelings im
pelled her to run up there for a better
view. She wished to see where father
was, and, perhaps might discover some
thing ot tho wild turkey.
I was closo at her side. We saw father
with his rifle away off across the fields,
and the negroes at a distance from him
engaged in their work. Tho stump,too,
was visible nearly to its foot, and at in
tervals, we caught sight of Arthur care
fully working his way in a half cir
cuit toward the gully.
Father had evidently heard the turkey,
and was warily approaching the spot
where it seemed to be. His half stoop
ing posture showed that lie feared the
bird might get upon the stump and see
him.
Suddenly mother started, and her face
had a look of ghastly terror. Some
thing which certainly was no turkey
rose a little above tho stump, between
its shattered rim and the grass of the
bank. I saw it, too, and my blood ran
cold.
It was something that greatly resem
bled the head of an Indian. We felt
that the face must be peering through
the grass toward my father, w'lule we saw
the black, gleaming hair behind.
Without doubt it was a Seminole war
rior in ambush, watching father's ap
proach. Mother gave an agoni.ed cry. "What
shall I do; oh ! what shall I elo 1" sho
exclaimed.
Would not any signal or outcry sho
could make be misunderstood at such a
distance, and only hasten the eatai-tropho
since father was still thirty rods beyond
the Indian, and eighty from the house?
Then where was Arthur, who had now
disappeared? And should sho by a
sudden alarm cause him to show himself
might not the Seniinolo rise up and
shoot him on the spot ? She was dizzy
with her sense ot tlio dreadful situa
tion.
Hut in a moment I called out to her,
"There's Arthur, mother ! there's Ar
thur !" for I saw him among tho rank
gras, lying Hat upon tho ground, within
good ritlo-snot ot tlio stump, which lie
seemed to be watching intently.
Unco again the Indian s head was
shown slightly, and wo got an instant's
glimpse of Arthur's rifle, iiut tho black
hair disappeared, and the weapon was
lowered.
Father was now so near tho scene of
danger that wo had no alternative but to
watch, terrible as was her anxietv,
mother now felt that Arthur had discov
ered what kind of game tho old stump
contained. Sho knew that tho Indian
could not firo at father without exposing
his own head, and that tho moment it
appeared it would bo covered by her
brave boy's rifle.
How our hearts beat lor the lew mo
incuts that intervened. Another gob
ble came from the stum). Father was
working his way stealthily toward it in
anticipation of a prize, and Arthur lay
as still as death in tho grass.
All at onoo wo saw tho sunlight glance
upon a lnaM of long raven hair thatroso
slowly abovo the gnarled wooel winch
had hidden it. Father was within tan
rods of tho spot. It was a dreadful mo
ment.
Our eves turned to Arthur. The grass
in front of the slight knoll where ho lay
was not high enough to interfere with
his aim as his elbow rested on the ground.
"Wo could seo him drop his young face
against tho breech of his gun. The bar
rel gleamed for a single instant.a pull of
sinoko streamed from the muzzle, aud he
leaped to his feet.
Hut thero was a still moro sudden leap
from the old stump, for an Indian, with
Hying hair and with his rillo still clutch
ed in his hand, sprang up and fell dead
against tho slopo which had concealed
him lrom lathers view.
Tho reunion which followed, when wo
I ran into each other's arms, joyful, yet
thrilled with consternation, I will not
dwell upon.
Wo louiulllio eleail enemy to be a tall
young warrior, hideously painted, and
having in his belt a hatchet and a knife.
Ho had no doubt entered the gully
from tlio Hwanip, and seeing father at a
distance hail attempted to decoy him
within gunshot by imitating a wild tur
key.
Tlio occasion proved to bo tho only
ono on which the Seniinolo war was
brought homo to us, as tho successes of
tho Tinted Slates troops afterward kept
tlio Indians at a distaiico lrom our neigh
borhood,

havo his obituary. He lived out towards

"While yet on tho threshold of ani
mated strife, and no unkind visions con
fronted linn on life s journey, overtaken
by tho still voice of the tomb, ho ro
sponded by enlisting in the great army
of tho unrelurning past."
1 do not think these ingredients are
mixed properly. If there wa a light,
and tho fight was in the house, "thresh
old" goes passably well with "animated
strife," but not otherwise. Hut I do not
think there was a lighu at that times lie
did not "enlist" until later, when he was
on a journey and was overtaken by tho
still voice of the tomb. His mistake lay
in "responding"!" ho could havo let on
that he did not hear, since it was a still
voice.
"While yet' the spring time of youth
blossomed on his locks, the cold touch
of an untimely frost fell upon and nipped
a life which was yet in bloom."
Now, you sec, there was no light after
all; ho froze to death.
"Hut thus it is; when the lamp of life
shines brightest its extinguishment pro
duces thickest darkness."
Ilo had his lantern with him; therefore
he could have been nothing but a scout,
sent out to hunt up the enemy. I think
it possible that thero was no tight.
"Life, at best, is but an exiled wan
dering pilgrim on a desert island, sur
rounded by tho boundless and merciless
sea of eternity, on whose barren coast in
evitable death awaits on every side its
victim unawares."
Starved to death on an island, and
probably drowned into the bargain
"unawares." Life is full of troubles.
"lire yet tho fruits of manhood's lau
rel had ripened on his brow, he laid him
self to rest in communion with tho dead."
There is no reasonable fault to be
found with his not waiting for the crop;
for even if the laurel yielded a berry
which it does not it would not ripen
on a person's brow.
"Ere yet tho shadows of disappointed
hope daikened tho horizon of a dawning
future, ho reclined on his lowly couch to
mingle with the cold and forgotten
dust."
I do not like this. A person does
not travel with a couch and a lantern,
too, in such; a place as that. And why
"cold" dust! Is the warm kind prefera
ble? And did this man lie down and
cover up and peier out in tho natural
way, after all? There are many perplex
ing ditliculties about this history.
"During many long years,with that lil
ial affection which makes a child loved
by its parents, and respected by its
neighbors, ho has proven a husband,
father, son and brother."
Filial affection does not "prove" any
thing. Tho ollicial records of the coun
ty will show whether he was a father,
mother, brother and sister or not, but fil
ial affection is no sufficient evidence of
mere abstract pretensions like these.
"For his folks he lived."
That is all right let that pass; the
object of this inepiiry is what ho died
for that, and which thing it was that
killed him the most.
"J Jut now that the thunderbolt of
heaven has lallen upon the hearthstone
of their family circle"
"Why, good land, he was struck by
lightning! Take it all around, this is one
of the most checkered death beds that
has ever come under my observation.
Destroyed in light, frost-bitten, starved,
drowned, squelched in the tranquil
couch, splintered by tho bolts of heaven!
it is little wonder that he faded from
our view.
"It may not, perchance, have been
given him to climb the dizzy heights of
statesmanship, where Bacon and Hurke
wero so often heard, or fathom deeply
tho bosom of science, where Huxley and
Tyndall blroll with familiar stcu."
Tho nautical phrase is misplaced there;
one does not fathom a bosom, Neither
elo any but the most reckless people go
tramping around in such a place.
"Hut he is gone. He sleeps his long
last sleep, unconscious of thejnight winds
that chant the requiem o'er his grave,
or the vesper breezes that play among the
lonesome pine, making music as though
each bough played the strings of
Apollo's golden haip."
Very well, that is all square and right.
And all to his advantage, too, but he
missed his obituary. Ajipureiitlif by

hearing it said that ralscoulel bo brought
out of their holes by tho beating of
drums, determined to try tho experiment.
So, procuring a number of these instru
ments of martial music, and half u dozen
dogs with a weakness for rat flesh, they
proceeded to a barn near Pearson's flour
ing mill, in which structure was known
to dwell many well-fed rodents.who sub
sisted on tho contents of tho grnin bins
near by. Stationing part of their num
ber with drums in tho hay-mow of the
stable, and tho others at tho doors with
tho dogs, everybody was eager for tho
fray. Tho drummers brought their
sticks down on tho taut calfskin, and
soon tho building shook to the very foun
dation with the deafening roll. Several
boys hail been statiotieel at various knot
holes in tho lloor of the hay-mow, and
these youlhsjpecring down into tho semi
darkness below,soon saw little twinkling
eyes appear at certain apertures all
around the apartment beneath. Tho
drumming was continued, and sharp
pointed noses and then sleek bodies of
rats came from the holes. Soon the rapid
rolling of the drums seemed to excite the
rodents to a point beyond self control,

ran around the feed-bins in a wild chase

turn corners that their tails snapped
with a report like that of a bull-whack-
cr's whip, making tho Hour Ily from their
caudal appendages so as to fill the apart
ment with dust. Now was the time for
action. Tho boys with tlio dogs were
signaled, the doors were opened and the
hungry canines let in on them. The
unlortiinato rats seemed to be under r.
spell, andjmadc no attempt to seek their
holes. J' or live minutes slaughter reign
ed supreme ; when it hail subsided the
floor was covered with the bodies of
forty-three- rats. Again were the drums
called into requisition, and tho same
scene ensued again. This time thirty
oight rats bit the dust. The boys con
tinned their operations with their drums
ami dogs all the afternoon, and when
evening came there were piled up in
noni or mo siauie, mangled, cut and

aged female, believed throughout the
countryside to be in league with tho
powers of darkness, when tho animal
came to a dead halt and declined to
proceed any further. This not unnatu

forthwith ascribed to a spell cast upon
tho horse by tho venerable dame inhabit

Cutting linles In two.
The Now poit, of the New York nnd
Cuba Mail Stoanvdiip Company, ran in
to a school of sperm whales oft' the Del
aware capes on her last southward trip.
It was about S o'clock in the morning,
and dipt. John P. Sundberg says he
could see millions of them from the deck.
Ilo estimated the width of the school at
half a mjle and its length at twenty
ndles. The sea was smooth, the sun was
shining, and all the passengers wero on
deck. Tho vessel was steaming at fifteen
knots. Some of the whales were seven
ty feet long. One of them, about s'xty-
nve icei long, was struck by tho bow ot
the steamship at right angles and about
in tho middle of its body. The shock
iieuily threw the passengers from their
leet. At the moment ot tho collision
the whale threw up its flukes and del
uged the fore part of the deck. Com
misioner Allien S. Swan of the Brook
lyu Bridge, who was looking over tho
prow, was among the iaengors who
got drenched, 'llio whale, Cant. Suiul
berg says, was cut in two, the foro part
going to one side of the vessel and
the after part to the other. The sea was
colored with blood. Tho head was driven
down into tho water so far that when it
came up it aroso six feet above tho sur
face, in plain sight of thoso who were
looking over tho side. Tlio shock threw
tho steam steeriii!' trear temnorarilv out
of order, but otherwiso tho vessel was
not damaged.
A few minutes later a second whale
was cut in two almost in tho same man
ner as the hrst had been. Tlio head
went to tho port side, but the body passed
under the bottom nnd was struck by tho
propeller blades. Tho effect of this on
tho machinery alaimed tho engineer in
the engine room, who thought the blades
had struck a dri liner spar. Tho course
of tho vessel was then changed, and she
ran otu oi uie school.
