AX ADYEXTUKE WITH PIUATES.
I knew I bad wounded the , deer ; for
I conld see !ls Llood upon tlie Luabes
tlirongb wbicb it bad rusbed after receiv
ing tlie shot. I tbonbt of goiug back
for my liorse before puisuing it. I bad
left bun tied to a tree eome two or tbree
bundred yards back, tlie better to ap
proacb tbo game. "Ybile besitatiug, I
noticed clear tky tbrough tbe timber on
tbree eides rigbt, left and in front. This
could be caused only by tbe river, as tbe
wbole bottom land waa covered with a
thick, cottonwood forest. It must be a
bend in tlie Ptreant, forming a soit of
peninsula, with an isthmus of not more
than a bundred yardi iu width, my posi
tion being about midway between the re
curving of the river. In this case the
buck would be in a trap, and could not
get back into the bottom-land without
passing rne within shot. Ilia ouly alter
native would be to take, to the water,
which he might do, or nnglit not. As it
was
the broad Mississippi, he likely
. . ,
11 not ; but, in any case, tno horse
would not ; Uut, in any
would be of no use there ; aud hastily re
loading, I walked on,
I bail no difficulty in taking up the
trail of the stricken animal. ' Under the
shadow of the nioss-trtllised trees, , the
soil was damp, and tbe "slot" wa3 con
spicuous tbe more so, that the antlered
monarch of the forest evidently had been
laboring his flight. Once again I saw
gouts of blood upon the palmettos, brush
ed off from bis bleeding flanks, as he ran
I soon reached the edge of the liver,
and there saw bis hoofmarks iu the mud
. . . . .
U '''''c'''1 ilT'"o Uil,lk- . Atlt're
were no return tracks ; therefore he had
taken to the river. It was the Mississip-
j pi, as I have said, but not the main stream.
t a rruce, I saw it was a "cULoff"-
C
small, wooded island interposing itself
between me and the rreat "Father of
... ' ,, T, 1 1 u. .1 1 11
Waters.' Beyond doubt the deer had
swam off to t,ie llHnd thcre' equally be-
yond doubt, I supposed, to lie down and
,. 1
He was a splendid back, with not less
tban a dozen "times" upon bis antlers. I
hud noticed tbis wbile drawing a bead
upon bim. I wanted bim for a tropby,
and was determined to Lave bim. .Lnt
bow J tbe brancb stream, tbougb not over
a bundred yards in width, was of rapid
turbulent current. Stripped, I could swim
it, though not comfortably, or carry a
dry gun certainly not to bring; back
with me tbe carcase of a large deer. .The
horns, perhaps I might. - Better the tro
phy tban nothing. : i ' :i :
1 bad half made tip my mind to. etrip
and swim to the island, when I bethought
me of a boat, though of a little hope - of
there being any near.: " '. , r
Along the river for miles there was no
habitation. , I bad hunted thcre before
and knew it. For all this by a sort of
involuntary inspiration, I glanced inter
rogatively arouud, with my eyes sweep.
ing whatever of water-surface was in
Sight . ' . ! '. :
There was a boat in sight, bnt it was a
"flat", a regular " broad horn," and, of
course, unavailable for my purpose. It
was far out in the main-stream, beyond
the wooded islet, which it bad already
passed. As I set my eyes npon it, it was
just running a jotting point below ; and
as its great 6teeriug oar disappeared from
my sight, I could make out on the stern
beneath, painted in rudely shape letters
tbe name, ' '
.".'j "Nancy." ',. '',,
The Nancy conld be of no uso to me ;
and nt once dismissing her from my mind
I was about to commence stripping, when
a canoe, shooting round the upper end of
the islet, came rigbt - down the cut-off.
There were two men in -it.i They we're
in their shirt-sleeves red shirts, at that,
a good deal soiled and faded. Their fea
tures were shaded by broad-brimcd wool
hats, also the worse for wear. I did not
stop to scrutinize eitVer their drees or fea
tures, but at once bailed them. 1

As I said this, I plunged my hand into
the pocket of my bunting-coat, and drew
forth a fistfull of gold and silver coin,, so
as to secure them to . the . bargain, by
showing I was able to keep my part of

five minntrs- the canoe struck tbe shore
of the islet,' and I jumped out to
look after my deer, on tbe truck of which

' Under the; excitement of soon bring-

a hurried consultation in whispers, wnile

ing be Would eo along, and if need be,
give me assistance. . .
I made no objection, but kept on, my
whole thoughts occupied in tracing the
stiig. The islet was not over tbree acres
in extent,' covered with an undergrowth
of palmettoes. I knew the deer must be
among them ; and I was not long discov
ering the coveted antler, rising above
the fan-shaped, fronds, their own lying
concealed beneath, on what . would no
doubt have been bis deathbed, bad no
one ever come near him. To hasten it
I raised my rifle, and taking aim at his
heart which was still beating, I fired. a
There .Ecemed to be cracks simulta
neously, but that might have been caused
by tbo recoil of my gun, which appeared
to bust iu my bands ; I could not tell
then, for, after pulling the trigger, I be
came insensible..:! o r ..:
. When consciousness returned, I found
myself alone, lying along the ground
with a terrible aching in tbe head, liais
ing my hand to the spot. I felt an abrasure
at the . back part of iny skull, with a
piece of the Scalp missing. On return
ing my ' hand before my eyea, I saw my
fiugers were reddened with blood. , . .
Jly senses gradually growing clearer,
I gazed arouud, and soon perceived that
I wa3 alone, lying among the palnrit
toes. . ,;
Staggering to my feet. I looked still
further, and saw at some distance,' the
dead body - of the deer. I remembered
having fired the shot that must have kill
ed it. But my gun that I supposed to
have burst iu my ' bands where was
that ? It was not thcre either : lock,
stock or barrel. : And my watch, worth
two hundred dollars ; and the odd three
hundred' ro'coin, I had carried in my
pocket! -All gone, and along with them
the two canoe-men who had ferried me
across to the island. " ' '"'"
For a time. I felt perplexed ; but not
for long, ... With my fast-clearing con
scionsness came the ec!aircissement of all
that had transpired. . 1 had heard two

" L0TE AXD BE HAPPY.
It is the easiest thing in the world to
be happy if men and women would only
think so. Happiness is only another
name- for love; for wherer love exists,
in a honsehold there happiness muBt also
exist, though it hag poverty foraclose com
panion. Where love exists riof, even
though, it be in a palace, happiness can
never come. He was a cold and selfish
being who originated the saying that
"When poverty . comes in at the door,
love files oat at tho window," and his
assertion proves conslusively that he had
no. knowledge of love ; for, unquestiona
bly, the reverse of the axiom quoted is
nearer the truth. When poverty comes
in at the door,, love, true love, is more
than ever inclined to tarry and do battle
with the enemy. Let those who imagine
themselves -miserable before they find
fault with their surroundings search in
their own . hearts for the true caus'e. A
few kind words or a little forbearance
will , often open the way to a flood of
sunshine in: a house darkened by the
clouds of discord and nnamiability.
A marble quarry has just been open
ed near Williamsport,- Penn.,' which af
fords a fine-grained stone as ' black as
ony, and capable ot taking a very high
polish. , It is said that this quarry js the
only one of the kind known to exist. .

The following anecdote of Beecher has
just been made public. ' It seems he had
observed the injustice of obliging men to
work on Sundays, and preached a sermon
on it. Next day bo entered into conver
sation with a car driver," while rifling I
down to Fulton Ferry, and asked him if (
he did not think some plan might be i
adopted to dispense with tbe need of mn-1
ning tbe cars all day Sunday. The driver j
being in entire ignorance of the nhmeand
nature of his interrogative friend, made a !
frank reply : "Yes eir. I think there
might ; but there's no hope of it, so long
as they keep that Beecher 'a theatre
open in Brooklyn. The cars have to run
to accommodate that." It is hardly ne
cessary to add that the driver's remark
was a "home thrust," and was considered
so good that Beecher told of it him
self. In Lancaster county only half aa
average wheat crop is looked (or. Corn
looks well, and so do oats, . The bay
crop has been a good one. Apples and
peaches will be but half a crop. The
weather has been good for harvesting.
A special emigrant train left San
Frauciaco last week with 500 Chinamen,
on their way to Kuoxrille, Tenn., whither
they are forwarded by Koopmanschap &
Co. " Some of them 'jumped out of the
car window at Sacramento and escaped.
AU eilorts to make hay by gas light
have failed, hut it ia discovered that wild
oats can be grown under it's benign and
cheerful rays, t,.,: , .. p

Stories about the curious antics of
lightning are plentiful this season. Whilo
a man in Elko, Cal., was recently at work 1
on a telegraph wire with the end of it in
his hand, a Cash struck the line some dis
tance away, instantly split three of the
man's fingera, passed up his arm, across t
his breast and down bis side, Parting out
at his knee, leaving a blackened orifice
like a bullet-hole, and plunging into the
ground. The man .was knocked sense
less, but soon recovered, aud professed to ,
feel all the better for the little shctck. '
The sensation, he said, was not very pain
ful, but seemed like the pricking of sharp 1 '
pins. .: i i .
