Six lustrous maidens in totem; '
She led the van of the . caravan: •
Close behind her, her mother
(Drest in gergious moire .afitivrte,
That told as plainly as words could speak,
She was wore antique than the other)
Leand on - the arm of Don.Estaban • -
Santa Lila de la lluseovado •
Senor Grandissimo Oviedo;
Happy mortal! fortunate man
And Marquis of El. Dorado I
•
In they swept, all rich.o and grace, -
Silks and tutting and Iloniton lace ;
In they'sweptliorn the datzled'sun, •
And.ioon in the church the deed was done.
Three prelates steedon the chancel high--
A knot, that gold and silver can. buy, -
Gold and silver may yet untie, •
Unless it Is tightly. fastened; -
What's worth doing at all's worth doing well,
And the sate of the Manhattan belle
• Is not to'be pushed' or hastened
So two Very -Reverends graved the erens.„
And the tail Archbishop stood, between,
By Mayer and fasting chastened:
The Pope himself would have come from Rome.
-But urgetiOnutters-kept him at home. .
Haply.these robed prelates thought •
Their words were the:power that tied the knot;
But another power that love-knot tied,
And keels •theehain round the neck'of the bride--
-A•glistening, priceless, marvellous chain,

I«i were tiea! the :Arkansas RiCer cn a hunt. For
several days:l , re had been unsuccessful.
One evening, after we had camped as usual, and
my.horse had eaten his "bite" of corn, I leaped into
the saddle, and rode o&\in hopes of 'finding_soue-.
thing fresh' for supper. The prairie where we' bad
halted was a r rolling" one,`and as the camp bad
been fixed , on a small stream between two great
/wells, It was not visible at any great distance. As
soon, therefore, as Thad crossed onecof the ridges, I
was out of sight of my companions. Trusting, to the
sky fur my direction, therefore, I continued on.
. Afte'r riding about mite, I should third:, I Came
upon a buffalo "sign," consisting of several 'circular
'holes in the -ground, fire or six feet .in diameter,
known as Buffalo - " wallows." I saw several wallowN
and I could tell by thetracks in the dust,
,there had
been i bulls in that quarter.. Eo I continued on iq
hopea..ofgetting i a sight of the animals that had beet}
..I had ridden full five miles friar camp, when my
attention was 'attracted 6i an odd noise ahead of me.
There wasa ridge in front that prevented me frOm
seeing what pioduced the noise; but-I knew what it
waathe bellowinilor a buffalo bull.
At intervals;-there were quick shocks, as of two .
-hard substances coming in violent contact with, each
•
other.
I mounted the ridge with caution, and looked Over
its crest. There was a valley beyond; a clou'd. of
dust was rising out of its bottom; and in the midst of
this I could distinguish two huge :forms, dark and
hirsute.'
I sa* at once they were a - couple orbufralo bulls
;engaged In a fierce fight.. Tke s y were alone ; "there
.wire )3o others in sight, eitherin the Talley or on
the prairie beyond.
I-did 'wank longer than to see that the cap, was
on.* ritle'and to cock theyiece. Occupied as 'the
anifiialswere, I did not imagine They would heed me;
or, - if they should attempt night, I kirew I could e - ash
4 ly odertake one or the other; so, without further
Ihesittitiou orPrecaution, I . rode toward them.
Contrary to tuy expectation, they both " winded"
me; and.started oir. The Wind was blowing freshly
-toward them, so as WdraW their attention: ' - .
1' They did not run, however, as if badly stared ;.on

-4 the,:contrary, they went off, apparently indignant at
1 being disturbed in'their-fight ; and every now and
Ithen both calm round with short turnings, snorted,
.1 add struck the prairie with their hoofs in 'a siolent
land angry manner.
1 ' -Once or twice., I fancied titcy were going Melmrge
{ upon me;- and _had I been otherwise than well
IMounted, I Should haie been chary of risking such

Frieling Spite safe •in my sadille-, I galloped up.
to the Outa; and Cent my bullet into his "ribs: It
did the work. Retell to his knees—rose again—
spread out his Ico,aslf to prevent-a second fall- i
I rocked from side to side liks a cradle—again came to
Ibis knees, and after remaining ire, this jxeridun for 1
k oome . miuntes, with the blood running (torn his nos.
Arils, rolled over on his-shoulder, and lay.dead.
I had watched these mancertvi'es With interest, s aird
permitted the second hull to make his gicape; a siu- .
gle glance had . shown me the- latter disappearing
over the crest orthe swell. , .
. I did not care to. follow [tits; as my home was jad
ed, and I knew it would Cost me a sharp gallop to
come up with him again, so I thought no more of
him at the time, but alighted, and prepared to deal

neither fell nor skuntbled,.. but continued to charge

To reload waslimpossible. My pistols had gcine off

with my horse and holsters. Even to reach the tree
was impossible r'the bull was between it and me.

thing - that held ciut the prospect of five minutei wife.

Ai this Monte t an object appeared before me that
promised, one y or another, to intecrupt the chase;
it•was a ditch, o gully, thatintersected.my path at
right angles. It was severs) fdet in depth, dry at

I was almost upon its edge before! noticed ft, but
the moment Itime under my eye I sew that'' it of

I could only leap , this galley, I was satiated, for I
knew that the alo,could not. h fr

It was a sharp eap—at least seventeen feet from
check tocheeit—lbut I had done more 'than that in .
my tittle,' and without: halting in my gait, I' ran for
will 4 to the AO and spring over.-
I alighted'clevinlyepon the opposite bank; Where
I stopped and tuned around to watch My'pursuer.
. - I now aseertai led how near my end I - had been;
the'bull waslalre dy up to the verge of, the gulley.

Had I not made thy leap at dhe instant I did, I should
have been by that time dancing upon his horns.—
Ifre himself had balked - at the leap; theldeep, chasm
like cleft had co II him. Ire saw, thatke :could not

head lowered, anc,f spread nostrils, his tail lashed his

In less than aMinute's time, we were once more
upon „the same side; rind my. situation appeared as
terrible as eveli; but, stepping back for a short run,
I releaped the cluteri, and again we stood on oppo
site sides of the gilley. • -
~
During ill these manieuvres I had held on to my'
.rifle, and seeing new that I might have time to load
it, I commerced fling for my powder-horn. To my
astonishment, I cold not.lo my bands upon it. I
looked down to ru' breast fur the sling—it was not
