A Hair-brendth Adventure. The notion - of “Ttix tosr,",One of the most entertaining works of the kind With which we are acquainted; tells a thrilling anecdote Of an AmeriCan gentleman in Demerara, who Went out one morping on a shuotingexcursion in-that coon- . try. Not expecting danger, he took . with him as companions two powerful tiget.houndsonly,—his favorite blood-hound, 'on whose fidelity, he ,could most confidently rely in the hour of periLand who howled long and 'plaintively fur permission iojoin the party, having been tied up and left behind: The day passed off without any very stirring inci dents, and Mr. A. was slowly wendi n g his way home, his game-hag stuffed with feathered'spoil, and having left a fine buck suspended from la pro-. jetting brunch of a marked tree, awaiting the morning's sun till slave should be Sent for it.— He had nearly readied the outskirts of thelwood, when—in the words of the tvriter— ;He suddenly perceived in the thicket, rth one side of the path through which he must pails, two small, faint, and twinkling lights, like that of a pair of 'glow-worms; hie practised' eve instantly informed him that this appearance Proceeded from nothing hut the malevolent eyes of a wild beast-- whether Cougar, Puma, or Jaguar, he hesitated not to determine ; 'one thing was certain, Iretreat was fatal,-and to advaece was apparently equally PO. •Now for a bold 'shot,' a steady hand and a cool sight. and, you. may yet be saved ! I Tilke care, sir: take care! The sportsman's firs4action is to throw the barrel of his piece, unfoitonately only a smooth bore, across his left arm; theithumb of the right h - and cautiously cocks: the gun, and the fourth finger of the same h'and fifelathe trigger. Mr. A. steadily advanced; he was not fluttered to remain long' in suspense ; he had proceeded but three paces, when with a - terrific ory, th'e Cougar (for such it was) sprUng from its lair, and dashed upon' him; he fried, but apparently -with out effect; where were now his hounds,ll They had fled at thefirst glimpse of the furious beast, 'and rent the woods wttl - their cowardly whitings! He struck indeed, a fetd blows with the butt end of his piece. but the rohber of the forest was too nimble for him; rt r itiotneinary struggle and he was ithon his back. The ferocithis Conga?t was standing, or rather crouching over him; hne paw .was upon his broad chest, and each protruded talon, penetrating his :clothes and flesh, caused a stream of, blood to trickle down his side; the other paw graSped his skull.thld he felt as if each claw; penetrated his brain; his 'senses reeled, I and his blood suffused his eyerr.l and nearly blinded him ; still, however, this heroic American fainted not, nor ceased struggling manfully for the victory.— his vigorous-araw were:extended, and his hands grasped the monster's throat, thus keeping him fora, time from bringing into play those rapacious jaws, which as the hunter's strength (declined, were gradually advancing into a closer proximity with his face. Such it fearful struggle , thould not be of long continuance. The burning eye-balls of the Cougar glared nearer and more pear still ; as they looked :into the blocal.hhot orbits of the prostrate but fearless victim, theirowner was forced to. turn them aside froth the encountef,.as if con scious of the dastardly nature of his attack, and the superior bravery; though inferior strength, of the man upon -whom 'he crouched. The poWers of the man related ; nature had done -her utmost —she was at length eihausted. The drultness of despair was on the point of plunging . his senses in unconsciothesa, and death was about to seize upon :his victim, when the b'rushwoorl behind him crashed, and yielded before a heavy w eight; the hay of the bloodhound awoke him to conscious ness and hope ; a laige animal bounded upon the merciless foe; the shock hurled the animal from its prey, awl, the hrhve hunter felt that he was saved. Need I explain the occasion of this truly providential and almtist miraculous rescue? Tho favorite bloodhound, which, on quitting home, he had left behind him, l had continued howling all day, as if possessing a soft of prophetic 'prescience of the accident by which his owner's life would be placed in Such extreme danger, and having at length broken loose, had t gone forth in quest of his, missing master, and found him in time, but only just . in time,- to save him frOM one of the most horrible of deaths." , • A Elsxutrnx.--;•A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says, in reference to the grand ball recently given by Louis Phillippe :—.4The ball, at which I believe all the Amerieans in Paris were guests, was—as royalty tray, claim to be t an exception to all general rules of, econcimy.

COUNTY, PA. HOMAOR TO ReVELATION.—The Bible is a• hook of facts at least as well authenticated as any history—a book of miracles incontestably avouch ched—a book of poetry, pure, natural, and elevi tea—a book of morals, such as human Wisdom riever framed for the peiftction of human happi• ness. I wilrabide by the precepts, admire the beauty, revere the mysteries. add. as far as in me lies, practise theimandrnates of this sacred volume; .and should the I . itliculeet earth and the hhis,phe. my of hell assail me, I shall console myself by the contemplation of those blessed,spirits, who in the same holy cause have toiled and suffered.

If I err - with the luminaries I base chosen for my guides. I confess myself captivated by the loveli ness of their observations.. If they err, it is in a heavenly region; if they wander, it is fields of light, if they aspire, it is.at all events a glorious daring;, and rather than sink with infidelity .into the dug', I arricontent to cheat myself with their visions of eternity. If I err, I err with the . deci.' . pies of philosophy and virtue—with="nten who have drank deep at the fountain of humai, know ledge, but who dissolved not the pearl of their salvation in the draught. I err with Bacon, the great confidant of nature, fraught with all the -learning of the past, and almost prescient of the future, yet MO wise not to know his weakness, and too philosophie not to feel'his ignorance. I err with Milton, rising on an angel's wing to heaven, the music of his grateful piety. I err. 'with Locke whose 'pure 'philosophy only taught him to adore its Source, whose warm love of gen• uine liberty was never chilled into rebellion:- with its author. err with Newton, whose star like spirit shot a thwhrt the darkness of the sphere, too soon to reascend to The home of its nativity. With men like these I shall remain in error.— Nor shall I desert those errors even for the drunk en death bed Of a Paine, or thedelirious warwhoop of those men 'who would erect their al ar on the ruins of society.— Charles Phillips: 'I AM 01..
