Select Tale
A Mother's Stratagem.
In June, 18G0. the shin Wanderer
left the settloraent of Monrovia, on
the coast of Liberia, in Africa, hav
ing on board, among her possongors,
bound homo to England, Mr. Bouton,
s young missionary, and his beauti
ful wife Helen, with thoir child a
tiltle girl three years old.
For three weeks the vossol en
countered e succession of hoad winds
together with violent squalla, which
driving ber towards land, at length
compelled her captain to anchor in
a small bay on the ooast of Morocco.
It was a beautiful spot, but a few
hundred yards from one of - the half
detached peaks of the Atlas Moun
tains.
Oozing inland, the passengors bo
held a wealth of verdure, with toll
trees and climbing plants, and flow
ers of variegated hoe, many of the
latter ascending to the top of the
rooky hills, and hanging down in
long, graceful festoons over the val
leys between.
In tho afternoon, the gale having
abated, the captain lowered a boat
to make soundings in the bay.
"I would so like to take littlo Clara
ashore,' said Helen to her huuband.
"You know she has been teasing us
all day long for some of those pretty
nowers."
"Very well; if the captain will take
too trouble to put ns ashore, we will
go," said Benton.
The captain having readily given
his consent, the two passengers were
soon landed on the beach.
"Don't go too far away sir," said
the skipper, as he shoved off again.
But little Clara, breaking from her
parents, now ran up one of the lofty
rocky elevations, the sides of which
were covered with shrubbery of the
most attractive color.
"Wait for me, George," said Holon
to her husband, "and I will bring
ber bock."
The hoight the child was ascending
to being very steep, she had pro
ceeded about a hundred yards ere
her mother overtook her. The naked
arms and shoulders of the little one
were by this lime scratched at sever
al places from contact with the briers.
Mrs. Benton, therefore, dipping her
handkerchief in a spring trickling
down a rock, was about applying it
to tho bleeding parts, when she was
suddenly startled bv a roar, deeo
and prolonged, like rumbling thun
der, apparently emerging from the
very heart of the mountain, and
shaking it to its centre I
Ternfled, she turned, to behold
an awful spectacle the huge, brist
ling head and round, glaring eyes of
that most dreadful of wild beasts
an African lion I
. First the head, and then the sup
ple tawny body, appeared from the
shrubbery, the toil whisking furious
ly to and fro, the mane standing on
end, the fiery tongue and sharp fangs
visible, as a second roar came boom
ing from the cavernous throat
"Just Heaven I was all the poor
lady could gasp, as, with a mother's
instinct, she snatched the child to her
bnast.
Mr. Benton now saw her danger.
He was unarmed, but he shouted to
the men in the boat who, turnintr,
also perceived Helen's peril.
1 o gain the ship s side, to call for
and obtain loaded muskets, was, with
the captain, tha work of a few min
utes. Then he directed the boat
ashore. A crackling report was
heard as one of the weapons was die.
oharged, and, with a terrible roar,
the lion turned, slightly wounded,
looking towards the seamen. .
Only for a moment, however i the
next away he went in pursuit of Mrs.
Benton, who, with the speed of des
peration, her ehild olasped tightly
in her arms, was fleeing up the
height
On she ran, the lion, though wound
ed, gaining fast Now and then she
would turn to behold that hideous
bead within a few yards of her, the
3res now rsMmbling great whits eir
es, with lambent point of flams in
the centre, while the closed teeth and
wrin'Jed nostrils ' briiokened that it
eentti Lboi boa tU trtiahes
whioh had roused to the utmost the
hungry desires of the savage beast
Gasping, pAnting, wild with terror
and anxiety, the fugitive hurried
along, scarcely hearing, far below,
the shouts of the pursuing seamen.
They could not help hei they were
not near enough. The victims
would be torn to pieces and devour
ed long ere they could attack the
lion.
This Mrs. Benton comprehended.
She saw no way of escape her only
help was in Providence.
Watching tho figures, as she sped
on at the head of the seamen, the
voung missionary almost screamed
in his great agony, expecting every
moment to see his wife and child fail
a prey to the monster. The lion now
being in a line with the fugitive, the
muskets were useless in the hands of
the sailors, who would not fire at
the animal for foar of hitting Mrs.
Benton.
The strength of the latter, in spite
of her efforts, was evidently giving
way. Her limbs trembled under her
she swsyed from side to side her
gasping sobs could be heard even by
the eailora.
The savage pursuer now gained
with fearful rapidity.
"Great Heaven 1" screamed Mr.
Benton, striking his forehead with
his hand, "can nothing be done T"
Already the lion was within three
yards of the fugitive.
"Fire?" shouted the missionary.
"I give you leave. There is no other
alternativa"
"True,'' answered the captain, as
palo as death t "it must bo either the
lion or the bullet.
He gave his orders t tho men took
aim, and fired. But neither tho beast
nor tho lady was harmed. In their
fear lust they should hit the latter,
the marksmen bad aimed to high.
On went the pursuor and pursued,
the lion now not more than two
yards behind his intended victims.
Mrs. Benton saw ahead a clump of
sienuor trees, eviaontly, growing
from a cleft in the rock. A wild
hope animated her, gave her renew
ed strength to hor faltering limbs.
By gettiug behind trees, and dodir
ing, might she not contrive to elude
the animal until tho party from be
low suouiil arrive T
The cluster of trees was now the
coveted goal, and she strained every,
nerve to rcacn it. nut when she
was within ten feet of it she met with
a fearful disappointment a deen.
yawning chasm, right in heV path,
between ner and the trees, and
which had hitherto been hiddenJ
fratn her sight by high bushes frinir-
mg tne edge
The chasm was too wide to leep
over, cue turnod, and then stood
at bay her back to tho abyss, her
luce toward the lion. I here saem
ed no hope now. Death was before
and behind her, hemming her in on
both sides.
The lion paused as she turned to
ward him. fie uttered a growl of
triumph, and crouched for the fatal
spring.
The lady strained ber child closer
to her breast To descend the dork
depths of the chasm was preferable
to being tore by ha savage monster.
Thore was no ime to lose. In anoth
er moment the (awny body must
come swooping down upon her.
But now a quick wild bought a
mother's inspiration flishod thro'
her mind. Under the armpits she
clasped the child with each hand,
and raised it high above her bead, so
(hat the bleeding scrotal) es on its
white flesh were fully exposed (o the
lion's view.
That sight roused to the full the
uncontrollable desires of the savage
beast. With s smothered roar, he
shot up from the rock, his huge form
cleaving the air wih one tremend
ous bound for the child.
That was what Mrs. Benton had
waited for. By elevating her child,
she had compelled the lion to take a
lofy leap f and now, with her little
one, she quickly sank flat on the rook,
thus eluding the monster which ut
tering one long, wild, terrible roar
was carried hood foremost out of
sight for evermore, into the frightful
depths of the chasm.
Nearly senseless from fatigue and
excitement she bad undergone, Mrs.
Benton was soon after conveyed to
the ship by her rejoicing friends,
who next day left fur behind them
the place of that exciting scone of a
mother's peril and timely statagem.

A Met ing Tale,
We have been reading some choioe
literature of labs, and snowing that
our readers enjoy such recreations,
we propose to gives synopsis of what
we read. Tbe first book we came ac
ross, was one of Beadle's Dime
Novels, entitled the "Abducted Mai
den." A boy loess his parents at five
I oars of age, and is apprenticed, or
ound to an old farmer, who has an
only child a daughter, some three
years the junior of our hero. Every
thing goes along smoothly lor lull
fifteen years, when one evening, tbe
young lady is abducted. The old
man and tbe young one start in pur
suit snd traced the daughter to New
York city- One night, while pros
secuting his search, the hero goes to
the theater, and upon reaching his
boarding house, at a late hour, dis
covers that he has lost his night key
and can't get in. Fortunately, there
is an all night cooper shop near by,
and thither he wends his way. He
observes many laborers at work, and
sees ponderous casks turned out as if
by niagio- Feeling sleepy, he crawls
into an enormous pipe or hogshead,
and is soon oblivious to the world.
He is awakened by tha motion or the
cask and to his horror finds himself
headed up and rapidly moving on a
dray- Tho driver stops snd the load
is rolled off. He soon discovers,
through ths bung hole, that he is on
the wharf snd from the conversation
of those around him, learns that he
is destined for ft whaling voyage.
He Mneams so as to attract attention,
bat the Oaptain orders the men to
take him end his domical to the ship
at once, denlanng that he is short of
bands anyway. Altera urns, nets
