THE BOY HEROES A SKETCH OF REAL WESTERN LIFE When Kentucky was an infant State_ an d before the foot of civilization had troiden her giant forests, there _lived upon the branch of the Green river :an old hunter by the 'lame of John Slater. His hut was up on the southern bank of the stream, and save a small path of some dozen acres that had been cleared by his own axe, he was shut up by dense forests. Slater had two children at home with him, two sons, Philip and Daniel; the former fourteen • and the latter twelve years of age. The elder children had gone South. His wife was with him, but she had been for several years an almost helpless cripple from the effect of severe rheumatism. It was early in spring, and the old hunter had just returned from Columbia, where he had been to carry the produce of the win ter's labor, which consistedmostly of furs. He had received quite a sum Ofitoney,and had brought it home with him. The old man had several years been accumulating money, for civilization was gradually ap proaching him, and he meant that his chil dren should start on fair terms with the world, OM) evening just as the family were_sit ting down to their frugal supper, they were attracted by a sudden howling of the dogs, and as Slater went to the door to see what was the matter, he saw three men ap proaching his hitt. He quickly quieted the dogs and the strangers approached the door. They asked for something to eat, and also for lodgings for the night. John Slater was not the man to refuse a request of that kind, and he asked the strangers in. They set their rifles behind the door,unelung their packs and room was made for them at the fable. They represented themselves as travelers bound for the far West, mtending to cross the Mississippi in searoh of settlement. The new comers were far from being agreeable or prepossessing in their looks, but Slater took 'no notice of the circum stance. The boys however did not like their appearance at all, and quick glances which they gave each other. told 'their feel ings. The hunter's wife was not at the tar' Me, but she sat in her big easy chair by the fire. Slater entered into conversation with the guests, but they were not very free, and after awhile the conversation dwindled away to occasional questions. Philip the elder of the two observed the men cast un easy glances about the room, and he watch ed them closely. His fear4;ad become ex cited and he could not rest. He knew that his father had a large sum of money in the house, and his first thought was that these nien were there for the purpose of robbery. After the supper was over, the boys quickly cleared off the table, and then they went out of doors. It had become dark, or rather the night had fairly set in, for there was a bright moon, two-thirds full shining down upon the forest. "Daniel," said Philip, in a low whisper, at the same time casting a look over his shoulder, ('what do you think of them 'ere men!" "I'm afraid they're bad ones," returned the young boy. "So ami: I believe they mean to steal father's money. Do you notice how they look around ! "Yes." "So do I. If we should tell father what we think, he would laugh at us, and tell us we are perfect scare-crows." "But we can watch them," 'dies we Will watch ' em, but do not let them know it." The boys held some further consultation and then going to the dog houses, theyset the small door back, so that the hounds might spring forth if they were wanted. It they had desired to speak with their fath er about their suspicions, they had no chance, for the strangers sat close by him all the evening. At length, however, the old man signi fied his intention of retiring, and arose to go out of doors, to see the state of affairs without. The three followed him but they did not take their weapons ! The old lady was asleep in the chair. "Now," whispered Philip, "let's take two of father's rifles up to our bed—we may want them. We are as good men as they with the rifle." Daniel sprang to obey; and quickly as possible the boys slipped two rifles from their pockets behind the great stone chim ney, and then hastened back and emptied the printing from the strangers' rifles, and when their father and the strangers return ed, they had resumed their seats. The hditer's cabin was divided into two apartments on the ground floor, one of them in the end of the building being the old man't, sleeping room, and the other the room in which the company at present sat. Overhead there was a sort of scaffolding reaching only half way over the large room below it, and in the -. opposite end of the building from the little - sleeping apartment 'of the hunter. • A rough ladder led up to the scaffold, and on it close up to the ga . . • - ble end, was, the boy's bed.

Halfand early in the forenoon the officers hour had passed away, and they could hear ' of justice had the two. wounded men in their 'father snore.

Ask attention; but when the man laid down, your steandMat captain who lives there, the idea of poison flashed through Philip's and he will tell you, «Philip Slater & mind. He whispered his thoughts to his Brother, retired flour merchants.' They brother. The first impulse of little Dan- are the Boy Heroes of whom I have been iel, as he heard that his poor dogs were to writing, be poisoned, was to cry out, but a sudden pressure from the hand of his brother kept him silent. • At the end of the boys' bed there was a dark window, a small square door, and as it was directly over the dogs' house, Philip resolved to go down and save the dogs.— The undertaking was a dangerous one; for the least noise would arouse the villains— and the consequence might be fatal. But Philip Slater found himself strong in heart, and he determined upon the trial. His father's life was a tower' of strength in it self, Philip opened the window without mov ing from the "bed, and it swung upon its leathern hinges without making any noise. Then he threw off the sheet and tied the corner of it to the staple by which the win dow was hooked. The sheet was then low ered on the outside, and.carefully the brave boy let himself out upon it. He enjoined his brother not to move, and them slid noise lessly down. The hounds had just found the meat, and they drew back at their young master's beck, and Philip gathered the flesh all up. He easily quieted the faithful brutes, and then he quietly tied the meat up in the sheet. There was a light ladder standing near the dog house, and setting this up against the building, Philip made his way back into his little loft, and when once more safely there, he pulled the sheet in after him. The strangers had not been aroused, and with a beating heart the boy thanked God. He had performed an act, simple as it may appear, at which many a stout heart would have quailed. The ddgs growled as they went back into their kennel, and if the strangers heard them, they thought the poor animals were growling over the repast they had found. At length the hounds ceased their noise, and all was quiet. An hour psssed away, and so did another. It must have been nearly midnight when the men moved again, and the lad, Philip, saw the rays of a can 't:lle flash up through the cracks of the floor on which stood his bed. He would have moved to the crack where he could peep down, but al that moment he heard a man upon the ladder. He uttered a quick whis per to his brother, and they lay perfectly still. The man came to the top of the lad der; and held his light up so he could look upon the boys. The fellow 'seemed to be perfectly satisfied that they were asleep, for he soon returned to the ground floor, and then Philip crept to the crack. He saw the men take knives, and he heard them whispering : "We'll kill the old man and woman first," said one of them, "then we'll 'hunt the money. If those little brats up there, (pointing to the scaffold) wake up, we can easily take care of them." ""But we must kill them 311," said another of the\-illains. "Yes," returned the speaker, "but the young ones first; they will make a noise, and start the old man up.'? Philip's heart filled with horror. "Down the ladder outside !" he whisper ed to his brother. "Down and start up the dogs ! Run for the front door and throw it open—it isn't fastened ! 0, do let the dogs in the house, be quick as you can ! I'll look out for father while you go !" Daniel quickly crawled out through the little window, and Philip seized a rifle and crept to the head of the scaffold. Two of the villains were just approaching the door of his father's room. They bad set the candle down on the floor, so that it's light would fall into the bed-room as soon as the door was opened. Philip drew the ham mer of his rifle back, and rested the muz zle upon the edge of the boards. One of the men had his hand upon the latch.— The boy hero uttered a single word of heartfelt prayer, and then he pulled the trigger. The villain whose hand was upon the latch uttered one sharp, quick cry, and then fell upon the fluor. The bullet had passed through his brain. For an instanfthe two remaining villains were confounded, but they quickly com prehended the nature and position of their enemy, and they sprang for the ladder.— They did riot reach it, however, for at that instant the outer door was flung open, and the hounds—four in number—sprang into the house. With a deep, wild yell, the animals leaped upon the villains, and they had drawn them upon the floor just as the old hunter came from his room. • "Help us ! help us, father !" cried Philip, as he hurried down the ladder. "I have shot one of them! Hold 'em! hold 'em !" the boy continued, clapping his hands to the dogs. Old Slater comprehended the na ture of the scene in a moment and sprang to the spot where the hounds had the two men on the floor. The villains had both lost their, knives, and the dogs so wounded them that they were incapable of resistance. With much difficulty theinimals were call ed off, and the two men were lifted to a seat. There was no need of binding them, for they. needed some more restorative agent, as the dogs had made quick work in disabling them. After-they had been looked to, the old man cast his eyes „about the room. They rested a' moment upon the body, of him wha had been shot, and then turned them upon, the boys. Philip told him. all that had happened. It seemed some time be fore the old hunter could crowd the whole teeming truth thrbugh, his mind;••• but as he gradually comprehended it nll, a soft, grateful, proud light broke l over his fea tures, and extended has arms to his sons.

IdNANDS CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MO LOST AND FOUND IN PARIS THE LUCK OF A BEAUTIFUL GIRL,.-I have acquainted you more than onee with the passage of the numerous and rapidly succeeding hordes of Germans through Paris on their way to the great West via. Havre. Scarcely a day, certainly not a week, passes away, that some throng of these uncouth weather-beaten, poverty stricken Saxons may not be seen roaming about the streets or in the public gardens, taking a last glance at the wonders of the old, before seeing'the wonders of the new. Some noire years ago, and when these expe ditions were not so perfectly organized as they now are, a young girl, about fourteen years old, attracted by the contents of the splendid shop windows, was sepraated from her companions, and at every attempt she made to join them plunged herself more inextricably in The intricate web of streets which distinguished Paris even more for merly than now, when an Emperor and pickaxes are radically changing the topo graphy of the city. Night came.on, and she was more perplexed than ever. She found it impossible to make herself under stood, for even had she been so fortunate as accidently to hit upon some one who could comprehend the provincial dialect she spoke, she would have found it more difficult to get his ear; there are so many imposters in Paris and so sturdy in their begging, the most generous of us are but too apt to exclaim with the gentleman on the Boulevard, who then stopped by an elderly woman, with a "For God's sake, Monsieur, give me a little of your attention," replied, "Pll give you my attention, but d- r -n me if I give you anythidg else." The heroine of this story" made ineffect ual attempts to get a bearing and make herself understood. When the clock struck the hour when the train of cars was to leave Paris for Havre ivith her companions, she_felt such utter despair at the helpless ness of her position, she gave an hysterical scream, and fell helpless in the street. She was immediately. surrounded I)-y a crowd and take; up. A carriage passing by stopped, and a lady put her head out of the window, and asked the cause of the assemblage: "A young girl who has fallen down from inanition, I believe; she certain ly looks very pale and exhausted;" was the reply. "Bring her in my carriage," was the lady's reply, "and run for a doc tor; here's my address, I live near here." She took the young girl in her carriage and drove her home, where she was sur rounded with every attention and put to bed. When she recovered her senses, she was questioned, and she replied in her na tive dialect, which no one understood. The doctor came, examined her and pres. cribed one of those innumerable tisanes which they give in every: disease, from yellow fever to flushed face. The poor girl was burning with a fever, and after the first glow of the fever was cooled, over come with fatigue and the harrassing emo tions of the day, she sank into a profound slumber. The next morning, when she awoke she found an interpreter by her bedside, and through him her benefactress heard her story. Her name was Elizabeth; she was an orphan; she was from a poor village in Hesse, which had emigrated en masse for the United States; she had gone with the rest of the inhabitants, because she would otherwise have been left alone, —even if she had not been too ill to have attempted to rejoin her companions, the chances were the emigrant ship had already sailed from .Havre. "Stay with me,'! said the benevolent hostess, "untill your health returns, and then we shall see what is beet to do." This suited admirably with Elizabeth's humor: no ties attached her to her companions; she was going to the United States with all the careless indifference of extreme youth and of extreme poverty. When Elizabeth recovered her health, her, bene factress engaged her to remain with her. nedd not say how willingly she consented. Madam M. was touched by the gratitude expressed towards her by the poor orphan girl; her attachment to her waif daily in creased; the young girl deserved it; the best masters were given her, and her edu cation rendered complete by endowing her with all the accomplishments which adorn her sex. The luxury and the affection which surrounded her soon polished the rustic German orphan into the winning, graceful Paris beauty. Last year Madam M., who has no children, adopted M'lle Elizabeth in all legal form, to give her name and bequeath her fortune to her. Last winter M'lle Elizabeth M. went in to society, where she had all the success an unmarried young lady, with $40,000 dot and a fortune of $200,000 in reversion, could not fail to command. Her hand was demanded by persons in all ranks of the French peerage. A few days ago, bans were published at the Marie of the Tenth Arrondisement, of the marriage of Wile Elizabeth M. and the Viscount de T. Vis countetis and millioner! Deny "Luck," af ter this story! Had Elizabeth, the begger, orphan, foreigner girl not been born under some good star, some unsexed harpy would have. taken possession of her, and after her youth, (beauty and health hath fled away, she would have died in the hospital bed of some loathsome disease, and her grave would have been the dissecting table at Clamart. ‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are - dreamed of in your philosophy." And, believe me, this thing of "luck" is of them.—Cor. N. o.Picayune. . AN A_DVENTuItEI Willt . 'RATTLE - SNAKES. , .
