But he had been caught in tl a which takes all young men love had married his girl, lass of eighteen, as bravo and hearty hr himself; and to gether they had decided to seek their for tune on the very edge of t'.ie border. An nie had no relatives left since Mie Indians sc Hped her brother, and Leslie's father was not. the iiihii to hold his son back from any bon . able etep because it involved hardship und danger. Indeed, how superior in some qualities to the people of the present day were those of the funnier seventy-live and one bundled yea's ago. Then parents encouraged their children to inidertAke erilous and trying entei prises, and were pi oud to see sons and diugliti rs set their faces to the front to battle with Indians and animals, forests and fate, and establish new h-jmes of their own. Tints it was that Mr. Cochran gave Les lie a horse, and mother (Joelitaii furnished the setiing out" for a cabin, and the voting people depaited into the great wix.rls. The previous year Leslie had been on a sc. nit againt the redskin, ami a rich piai ne Hat in 'he French creek country had so chaimed him that lie determined to uinke it his home. Thither with his buxom b-.idc he matle Lis way. The horse c.uiieu all their pos sessions and the gill beide, when the choe io rid '. It. is Mil pi ising-Iiovf small an amount sutiiceti for hou.st keppiug in those das. Leslie Cochran and wif went out with a litlle bedding, a few dishes and kettles and a dozen cat penter's tools, the whole making but hall a load for a horse. Everything else essential I lie i.ionet-i- iiiiinn f.i.-i n i i .l io the forest. And yet such beginnings must Hot be despised, loi, limn I hem, and the families using them, have spiling grand results. Iteaching their dost inat ion, a temporary Cabin w.ia built, a tield of c.-rn planted, and ina lew weeks they veie fan ly at home, thou oli many miles away from the nearest seltlenient. Their f.tod consisted mainly ol lisii and wild game. I lining the summer, Ijoslie erected a mote substantial log house, a stable for the horse, anil dug a well surrounding the whole by a stockade as a defence. Inside of the stock. tilt: a tpiantily of wood was brotih:, the cun when ripe was gathered, hay was collected, and every provision was made to supply the demands of the winter. Two or tim e tiips to a distant mill, oc cupying a week, weie necessary to ttiin seei:d bushels of corn into meal. These noli journeys, the lirst separation ouryoung couple had expei itsnced, were long and anxi.iiis wei ks. The litst. was safely performed, and a fine gtist of yellow- meal was the result. But. I lie second was not so successful. lie lewclud the mill in safe y. and with out observing anything to excite his feats; but. as he was salting toienrn he was Wat tied against bauds of Sdtawnese known to he lurking in the vicinity. He, however, set out with all the greater haste, c.n lying but a part of the giist, and thinking anx iously of I he jieiil of his young wife alone in the little stockade. All day he pushed on, wearily, but with the highest speed of which the hmse was capable. Al nightfall he had to stop, it being iniossible to keep the way in il.uk ness. Turning into a thick copse of hem lock", he fed the horse, ale his own lunch of coi ii cake and venison, and then tried to sleep. Willi the early dawn he was oil again, goaded on by a growing anxie y to reach his cabin. lint as the horse was di inking at the fust brook crossing somet hiug mystei ious alarm ed it to such a degree that it almost refused to go forwaid. l'eeiing tdiS'ply around, Leslie could see nothing terril:e, and tt tiihuied the flight to the scent of some wild beast that had perhaps been prowling about .he spot dui mg the latter part of the night. Mounting ami urging the animal onward he hail scaicely gone a h-core of lods when the crack of guns slai 1 led the silence, and he felt a bullet tear its way through his thigh. At I he same itistvit the savage war whoop burst on his ears-, and three or four Indians came rushing at him from among the trees. The flight of the animal wns now of in estimable value, as it sprang along the way at a furious rale, dropping the savages from view almost in a moment. Leslie was badly woun.led and bleeding rapidly, but lie managed to keep hi seat lor two or three miles, gradually growing weak and dizzy, however, and expecting at every leap to be hurled to the ground. Suddenly the crisis c.mw as the horse Ravt, an unusual spring l' clear a small st i rani. On went '.he terrified animal at a swifter gait than befoie, but poor Leslie fell like a dead man into the dashing cur rent of the biook.. l-'oi lunate for linn w as it that lie dropped wheie he did, for tho cold bath revived bun at once, and as he crept down the stream in seaich of a hiding place the water covered bis trail from the pursuing Sdia wnese. A. moment brought him to an overhang ing bank upheld by the roots of a large tree beneath which he crept as the only concealment possible tor lutii to gain, with one useless limb and such deathly weak ness. But as he was painfully crawling under the ban another danger appeared. An enormous panther, probably att.act ed bv Iho smell of fresh blood, entered upon the scene, and spying the wounded man, Mvtang tieicely np the Hunk of; a leaning tiee a few Seet away, to watch him like a cat aHiut to seize a mouse. The position ol the leaning tree was such that when Leslie had perfected his concealment as well as he could, there was still an opening among the rds through which he and the panther hs.ked each otner in the face. This Mate of affairs continued for half an hour or more, .he creature lashing its tail and drawmp its claws along the bark of the tree, as il just about to spring, when Ieshe knew from the beast's sudden change or actiou that the Indiauu were approach ing. . . The poor fellow s suspense was agonizing as the panther turned aionn-.l and began to howl at the presence of the new foe. Hav ing traced a victim to the hole among the tools, the great cat was enraged at the ap nea, an ce of a lival at iU f. asi of blood. But the interval brief. Agaiu the hha.p ciack r ',r' ,-h" fu tivua uv.ui0 by.- " fH heavily on the gtound out of Leslie's sight. Then he surmised from the Rounds, that the red men were removing the panthers hide, and for half an hour longer he was on the rack of anxiety lest they should dis cover his hiding place. But to his indesciibAble relief he gather ed from a few half English ,ords, that they intended to follow the horse's trail, not knowing that the rider had dropped from his seat and was near them. In a little lime he heard their tread a they crossed the roots within a couple of yards of his head atid hastened away on the pursuit. But had not the horse been also wounded so as to mark its continued flight with blood, the savages doubtless would havo come back to the brook where Leslie fell and searched him out. Little cared they for the injured animal, and much for the scalp of i'.s rider; jut the continuous red trail deceived them and saved him. As it was, he did not dare stir from his hiding place until the afternoon of the next day, lest returning past the place, they might discovei lym. All this time he was half immersed in a't)'-, null siilieiiuo; untold agonies from his wound. Finally, totrard night of the second day, after tn-.nly i!nity-six hours in a living grave, heeiawled loilh, like a hunted fox from his lair. AtJhst he put out. his had to look and listen ; and then, discovei tug nothing alanuing, he crept feebly into tho open air. But, ah, what a situation for a wounded and exhausted man, a long day's journey fiom the nearest help, and suiioutided by an unfriendly wilderness. His r:tle he had left for his wife for her defence if needed, for pioneer women were often expert with a gun ; and hence his huuiin knife was hi only weapon. Bui be was more troubled concerning his gii 1-w il'e, alone in the distant cabin, than about himself. The pain of hi wounded limb was for gotten in the keener anguish of fear lest the blood-tlihsiy Imwiiese should follow the trail to the stockade and succeed in killing or capturing the woman who con stituted its only garrison. As he lay on the autumn leaven in the afternoon sunshine, filled with such fore bodings, hunger began to clamor w it bin him, and crawling painfully t j the carcass of the panther, he cut oil' and tried to eat some ol this most utisavoiy meat. At this moment the faint jailing of dis tant, steps came t li rough the foiest silence to his ears, and feeling his inability to de fend himself tiom even the smallest danger, he turned and began to cieep back tuw.nii the h il ing place. While; he is thus engaged, let us hok into the cahiu and see how Annie is faiisig. K now ing well livi own perilous si I u.it ion, she kept :n g". is Match timing Leslie's ab sence ; anil toward evening of the same day when he was shot, what was her suipiise to hear the horse whiniiiug at the gale of the stockade, as it was ueaily twouiy- lour boms too soon to look for her hubaud. Kuiining to a port-hole, her heart sank as she saw 1 he an lira I w ilhout a i ider. Stio unbai led I he heavy gate and let in (lie panting, foam-streaked rea ure, wl-i-n, in a moment, she discoveied the bloia.y proof of w hat had befallen her husband. The buckskin saddle cloth was soaked in his blood! But Annie was a brave and thoughtful woman, and therefore gave way tonoinrig weak or foolish. Fiimiy boiling ihe g ife again, she took down the gun, poAiier horn and bullet-pouch tiom the lnmk on t bo cabin wfcil, and fil'iing ati iron kei tie over I lie lii e, del ei mined, ll t lie savages attacked the sto.-kade, to resist them with both lire and water. Then, while keeping a keeti .kout t hrough tlio portholes and from the cabin I oof, she ihou-lit over the case and laid hei plan. From l be amount of blood on the saddle, she concluded that Leslie had held his seat foi some distance after the sho:, and hence, pel haps had escaped l he Indians. She sur mised that faintiiess from loss of bl.Moi. together wit h some unusual leap of the horse, had been the cause of her husband falling to the ground. Reasoning thus, it seemed to her I hat he might be somewheie along the route in need of her help. If not alive, she might tiud his dead body. Or, if she failed ro discover him, live or dead, she could ride through to the mill settlement for safety and assistance. With such rellections, she decided to make an early start along the w ild valley route. She gave her horse an abundance of food, and bound up the wound in its neck, knowing that all depended on the failliiul creature's strength. It was a long and anxious night to poor Ai.uie, but '.he dawn came at last, and she mounted and rode away ; and soswiftly did she go, that, had anybody seen her, she might have seemed like some spirit of tb w-Mids. And as she sped onward along Ihe faint trail, marked by blazed trees, Ihe peculiar excitement of the horse at:racted her no tice, ami it occurred to her that if she was Attentive enough to the instinct of the ani mal, she might learn where it had parted front Leslie. And so it proved. All day she went, forward, her senses al most superuaturally alert to rind her hus band and avoid being suipiised by Indians. As the sun was declining, she approached the brook where Leslie had fallen, and ihe conduct of the horse convinced her that she was near the scene of some pii t of the dis aster. Slowly she rode down Ihe lop-, watching on every hand to hear something pertaining to her search, her heart atlame with feelings too intense for words. It was the tivad of the horse that reached Leslie's ears. As the animal stepped into the ream the pisir man saw his wife, and putting forth all his stieng h, he called iu feeble tones, 'Annie! Annie!'' She heard, and in an instant was at his side. And such a meeting. To each it seemed as if the other had come bask from tho dead. What followed scarcely needs rehearsal. By slow marches and great, cau tion, living on chestnuts and raw panlhei's meat, they reached the stockade. A few months restored L"sli! from his wound ; years bi ought peace and safety ; and ult ini3tely thousands of settlers flowed into the regioti. The pioneer's farm, where once the little stockade stood so distant and alone, became a village site, and wealth and distinction have faiieii to the Cochran descendants. Whoever has heard theyed Leslie recite this adventure mnt have been un pi ess ed bv tl" smplwii "Meli he pl-xred rm the time rtttaug piovirience by which he wa delivered." First, had he fallen anywhere . but in the stieam the Indians would prob- t ably have found him where he fell faint or dead, and tearing off his scalp, would have crushed iu his skull with a tomahawk, and depaited. Secondly, had it. not been for the Indians the panther would have finished him. And thiidly, the bullet that drew the dripping blood from the neck of the horse, so that the ciimson trail did not cease at the brook, saved bis life by mis leading his pursuers. j In closing the story be used to say, in a most solemn manner : "Death missed me by a miracle three times in a single Lour." j A liirtl that Caused a Divorce. i Vampires or huge bats, which aie repu ted to extract the blood from human beings w hile sleeping, and eagles which lly off to their nests with babies to supply the eaglets with their suppers, are regarded as danger ous biid, but a pariot why, a parrot will, at times, as 1 shall relate, wieck the jieace of a household and almost drive its victims to suicide. Now, theie used to be one kept oi Baltimore stieet, in Biliimor-, in 172, which led to a divoice between as happy a couple ihe Moiiumeiiial City could boast. M.-. and Mrs. Wood were pariotized. They ovi tied a most Wonderful bird a Urge gray Afiican wh cli, for pr-ifaui y, iutelliccrice and mischief was unequalled. The first named habit, to be. sure, was partially cured, though not unfrequeni ly at. Ihe mot tling meal tho family would be saluted with : "D n yon. ! want my breakfast," but the mischief, backed by the intelligence, wus what brought woe to Mr. and Mrs. YVo-d. The wife was escrndingly handsome, and Lad many beaux previous 1 1 marriage ; she was still, though it must be confessed, given to flirting. Alas ! that such can tiuly be said of many of our married ladies. Yet the tongue of slander had n jt touched ber the human tongue, I mean. Xow, occasionally visiting Mrs. Wood you would find there Gus Learning. The Learning lamily and that of Mrs. Wood's father had ever been i lie closest, friends, and Gus thought nothing of stepping into Mr. WinkFs to hold conversation with the wife while the husband wasat his business place. Against Gus Learning this Afiican fiend conceived an intense hatred. The cause of hi animosity, 1 fancy, grew- out of the fact that Gus on one occasion put his fingers through the bars of the cage, when the bird fastened on to one of I hem, and Gus was compelled to wrap it on Ihe head ere it would loosen its hold. How it cuised liini when he came iuto the room where it bung in its cage. The Wood oft thought of patting with this creature, but then he was ''too smart and cunning for the world." Better a thousand times had they sold or given him away, for ere long he raised a domestic storm which wrecked two lives. One day as Mr. Wood entered the sitting-room on his return from his store his wife and Gus b- ing there, while the parrot, was in its cage gainst tbe wall the biid cried out, .shai ;! : 'That man kissed your w ife ! That man kissed your wife !"' The husband glanced at the pair. and. of c-iurse, they looked confused and excited. The bird again reiterated : 'That man kissed your wife! That man kissed your wife !"' Was thcieever a man feeling so aggriev ed as Gus, so furious as Wood, so wretched a woman as Cai i ie. the wife? The husband did not doubt the truthful ness of the bird, for jealousy believes ever on the slightest evidence. But at last the husband was appeased, or at least seemed to bo, (ins continued his visits. In less than a week, however, Mr. Wood on coming into the sitting-room, where were his wife and Gus. found that Toby, the pariot, had been removed. "Where's Toby ?"' he inquired. "In the hall. I thought it a more suita ble place," replied his wife. "I prefer he should be iu this room," answered the husband. "Why ?" "I have my reason," co'dly said Mr. Wood " "Mr. Wood, I think 1 understand you ; but we will not talk on this matter fun her now." Gus rose quickly, anticipating a scene, and bowing to the lady anil gentleman, passed into the hall. Mr. Wood soon fol lowed him, to go up the stairway, when Toby ciied out with a shriek : "That man kissed your wife that man kissed your wife !" In a day or two a quarrel followed about Toby. Mr. Wood determined to be lid of him her husband was equally decided on retaining him. At last, one morning, poor Toby was found dead iu his cage. Wood really loved and believed in this strange being, and upon invest igation discovered that he had been poisoned. On questioning a simple negro gill on Ihe subject, she ndmi ted ihe poisoning at the instig ition of tho mistress. The married pair never lived toge'her again, and in less 'ban n year a divorce was granted for tiiicongeniality ami aban donment, whereas the true cause was Toby. A Stocking Stout. The otho- day a groceryman at Vallejo gave : large party, at which the dii tighter of tho carnage painter who lived next d'tor created a de cided sensation. It was not that she was more handsomely attire:! than the other ladies present, but that when she gyraied iu the "dance of death" she was observed to display the only pair of pink silk stock ings iu Ihe rKm. She left the house for a few moments at the expiration of llio dance, and in the next waltz exhibited a pair of light blue dittoes. An hour later her crushed and exasi-rated female friends beheld these supplemented by fmtl.ei hose of a chocola!o shade. And so it went ou until her miserable rivals determined to follow ber Ihe next time she disapjieaied. They traced hei to her father's paint shop in the back yard, where she was discovered, brush in hand, and about ornamenting her neither extieniilies with a final artistic coat of light salmon. The exulting spies rushed back aith the damaging news, but it was too late. The men were all too tight to understand, the music had gone home. and the lights were being pur out. Thus it is that fraud and duplicity triumph, while honest simplicity walks aronn.1 with n drvn on its call .And a hole io Its heel. fian Fran(ieo i'nt.

IWc Pre says Got Dr. H.l S long, brother of the general superintendent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy lailroad. who has recently re turned from Colorado, tells the following exciting story : Last Saturday our train wn running from Denver to Cheyenne, to connect wiili tli Union Pacific at Cheyenne. When within 18 miles of Cheyenne ami about thirty five miles t.f Greeley, nnd while tunning up a ten-mile grade, one of the axles of the ten der broke, and the whole tra n with the ex ception nf our ear, was thrown from the track and hadlv jammed up. The assii-tant superintendent .f" the road happened to lie on ttoard. and, as we surveyed the riiins, he told us that then; was no engine at Cheyenne that would lie sent to our assistance, and we tr.nsi look to Greeley, and that we wi re probably hooked for eighteen miles walk to Clu-yenne, wheie we would have to remain over Sunday, While thinlcingof our bard Inrk. rhnpper. etl to look hack over the road, anil o'isered that wo had ln-eti running on an n;i grade for a long distance, and at the same time I remembered that about fifteen tniuiit-s he fore we had jumped the track we met a train on a side track going to Denver. A thought struck me thai there w a a way urn of our dilemmi. 1 turned to "he eiig:ii- er and asked l.ini if there was any nt tr.nl. toward Greeley. He said that there was only one a hoary one alont eight Tni'e back. After that it wn.nl! down grade. 1 called for crowbars instantly, and two or three train tii-ii rav. out thirty or forty rods on the prairie and dug up the liars. You see, the railroad comp.inv hive coupling irons, crowbars and such tliit c '"cached" in the ground, beoans? ll;e air is s ratified that iron ami .ill the coarser ti-etals, when ; exposed to its action, very so.-ui lose their density, the particles fepnri'log and tin metal If-cotTiing lik" so much sand, txithout s'rengih, and p-rf-ct'y worthless. WlrJ. the boys W"re after lite crowbars, I ern'. iiii t ed to our party that I believed we could prv i our car loose from the coupling with the train, and having a down grade, ne could catch the train we had met. We soon hid the car uncoupled w ith the aid of crowbars, and a do.e'i or more of n started on the car. Sin- glided a!oe,T faster and faster, gathering speed every second. ! Not being familiar wi'Ii the r;rr.b-s the only fear I had was that mtr car would not gain sufficient moiiieuttifti to overcome the no grade, l hough of course, 1 hoped it vonM. We very soon struck it, and 1 assure) yen I watched progress of the ear with a g-oil deal of interest. And it jin-t made it and thai was all. We jutn-d off and pushed hor a little, and down we started on a twet:-tv-five tT'ile down grade. I looked ahead and several miles oiT i-onhl easily - the train we were after, hut ii was almost in ! stamly shut out of sight by cor suddenly 1 running into n dense mass f lying cra-is-lioppers, evideinl y seeking to alight on tb gronnd. We had all le-n standing on tlie idatforin to this time, cat w'.nn wo iti'-t those grasshoppers we w ere driven into lin ear, ns they struck mtr faces with tin- force of hailstones. Looking through the win dows we could see nothing tint rass'iv;"-rs. So thick were they, nnd only now arid th-n could we get a glim;ve of the ground even. A fter a iniunto or two 1 became a litlle atir j tons, as 1 knew we wore going very fast, and as I had engineer-d iie brake, I .-tar'e :p : from mv se--t, and lvini;R heavy handker chief a'miit my fnee.Jweiit out In the p'.-nl. r:n and seized Ihe brake. For a initio!." ii ; wasn't; clear in my inini', wb'-'her I rn.;l,i hold oil' ngainsf the p-!ttnif the 'h.:-.i -is or not, but suddenly, wln-ii I was ali'iil j whipped, our cir emerged 'from the s arm, and as soon as I re-tiired it I tore ih hand kerchief from toy face and looked nut for tin , trail., with my hinds on the brak--: ready ; to avoid running into if. I felt queer, when, ; in looking, 1 oul.ln't see that trim, and when I rook one look aroun 1 and si w that our ear was running on hare ground, with tin track about twenty-five rods to icy left, I I tell you the cold shivers ran up and d ', i my back io a considerable extent, ll am :r ever put "down brake," i: was tne. I liM right hack and lig'.itcned that biake wheel three more cogs than had ever been done by . tlie stoutest man on ihe road. Sb- Mopped, i and as I opened the ear door to call out the crpwd, I heard an eng'tie whistle "down brakes." 1 jutiie'd oft' to the eroutnl, and, : looking backw ai d tow ard the sound, saw that engine slowing up behind ns on the tr.i-'k. I hadn't a word to say. I liegan to think that I would like to set on' of that coun'rv ! ridht awav, and lie tucked up in tny litlle I bed at home until I got well. The other fel- lows were soon jumping nut on the ground, and they were astonisho-l as I was. We j started for the train, w hicli had now come . to a standstill, the cendueler shouting as we : came up : "Well, hoy yon did that pretty ' well." iy I: "S-e here, tuis'er. We're I strangers in this country, and though we've j had some experience in the Bast, we'll be J b! -lined if we know what you mean when ' yon ay we did that pretty well." "Why.

We knew, ; however, we were leaving you a "hopper Im-iI ' to do the track on."
