O'er his back ; Travel-stained he was, and needy, And his appetite was greedy For a "snaek." For the printing office steering, Till within the door appearing, Where he bowed as one revering, When he spoke, Saying, In a voice a solemn Asa gratis Burliti column, 'I am broke I "In your city Tin a stranger Dnsty. seedy as a Cruiser For I (lumbered In the manger , Of a barn : I desire a email donation.

I had ridden hard and fast aud was astonibhed to God myself com ing into a straggling settlement. Ou the course which I should Lave taken there was nothing of the sort. Somewhere I had crossed the right trail and taken the wrong one. Al most any traveler iu the border sec tions would have been glad to thus stumble upon a place for food and re freshment. Not so with myself. In the breast pocket of my coat I car ried five thousand, four hundred and ninety odd dollars, United States money. I hud receive ! this amount from Major General T M Lacy, and it was to be carried through to Fort L , and placed, ia the hands of Colonel Asa F. Southard, to defray necessary army expenses. "Get through at your best gait, Carnes,"said tne major, "the money is long since over due, and Southard's rather irascible temper must have been tried to the utmost. You know how the soldiers get to growling if Uncle is at all delinquent in paying up. Ride in a careless manner, but be careful. I don't think that any one dreams of the arrival of this money save, of course, the mail agent and the clerk who delivered me the packages." I was directed over an unfamiliar section, Lence my losing of the right route. . 1 considered it my safest plan, so long as I had blundered upon the verge of the settlement, to boldly en ter and rest as an ordinary traveler would do. Should ( push hurriedly on, I might, by that very act, e.v,cite suspicion. There were only two men In the bar-room w hen 1 entered-, the land lord and the hoailer. Uuder his fa miliar cordiality the landlord furtive ly eyed me in a manuer that made me wish 1 was well done with my job, but I reassured myself with the thought that it was the consciousness of the responMbility reposing upon me that caused tjs glances to disturb me. before 1 had cuwhod ' niy sup per two' more travelers rode up, call ed out for toe hostler, uqq orqercd ciriu;s, o. rfttner one ol inem. came in with the orders, and the other threw himself down on a bench out-aide-, aud began loading a huge pipe. Strolling cart le.-sly about the room, 1 managed to glauce out of the window. My heart leaped into my throat, for in the man outside I recognized from description of him Bill Wolf one ofthe most desperate characters that ever figured in the annals of border ruftianisrri. vtere was the tacfe red tnoustache, the thick, hairy throat and the shoulders bunched up around bis head, suggestiug the shape of a mammoth clam and the voice Wltn a ue n down intonation like the plop, plop, piop of water, hurriedly leaving a jug. If the de scription ofthe notorious renegade is inelegant, h has the merit of truth fulness, and must, therefore, be ex cused. I went through with my supper :n form, but whatever appei.i.p wight pave tcit ca my entrance into tee inn had1 vanished - with my discovery. After a time the other Fellow came in, having been out, be said, to look after the animals, and they also or dered supper. Now was my time to leave, which I did in a careless man ner, passing cbme commonplace ' re tnaks with the two men as I crossed the dim, tmoky bar-room. As, they seemed to take no notice of me what ever, J felt my spirits rise with hope thdt 4 ebould make a sate transit. It was quite duskish outside, bat the hostler was Sitting about the stable with bis lantern, which emitted but a little more eflulgent light than a white bean would have done, but he graciously brought oat my steed at the order, and, mounting, I thank fully trotted away. The moon a little passed the full would make her debiit in something more than an tVoorfter sunset, and I pushed along at a smart trot so as to gtt well 'out opon the plains and into the right trail before that time The animal went along at an assuring gait, and was feeling mnnite'y relieved at my providential escape from contact with the desperate" characters whotn ESTABLISHED, 1827. I had left at the settlement, when my acute, trained, ever-alert ears detect ed the sound of swift riding. In "vbicb direction? From behind me, as the mildly floating breeze blew fcyrn that quarter. The face of the prairie in ibis section was a little rolling, but not so as to afford any shelter, and not a shrub or buoh dotted the expanse for mile3. I drew up my horse one moment to listen. No chance travelers ever rode like that. It meant purs. tit. I gave my steed & galling lash, and she broke iuto a convulsive gait, hove her body up' with one or two plunges, stumbled, going down from ner kuees to her i nose, and pitched me literally heela over head. For au instant 1 was paralyzed with as tonishment, the uext I seized the bit U fetch up the fallen animal, which had in ihe brief mishap undergone a strange metamorphosis. She had lost her while face on or in the grass, aud, passing my hand between her eyes, I found the hair was wet. In un instant I was examining the white legs my borso hud been pe culiarly marked with white legs and face and I lound these sticky with whitewash. . What then? Sim ply, my trappings had betn trans ferred to another aniuial, gotten up to exactly represent mine in the even ing, i nis aiscovery orouirnt an at- palling interpretation of the oncom ing horsemen. I gave the horse the whip as soon as . his unstable legs were ail under him, and sent turn scouring on ahead, while I rnn off to the right, making-lor a little hollow near a shallow, dry ravine. Hereto niv profound astonishment I discov ered h lone cabin, or hut, about the dimensions of an ordinary country log-tiouse, ana impulsively dasniag up to this, I gave a rapid succession of knocks. A shrinking, pale and cowering woman opened it. " hat is it.'" was her first ques tion, noticing my breathless baste. Had I stopped for a moment's re flection upon the htragely isolated position ot the cabin, i should not have pushed in by her with the ex planation: "Is there any chance to hide here my horse bus thrown ma and I be lieve a party of desperadoes are close up with me." I noticed that the moon was coni iug up dry and red in the east, when she mechanically closed the door be hind me, before I had finished my explanation. "No, no; there is no place," she grasped, her quick ear now catching ilit sound tif the coming horsemen. "This is all the room there is and there's neither cellar nor attic." "Rut this?" I exclaimed, rushing for a dark object in the corner. "It's a Collin," waa her quick re sponse; "but thete's no other chance tbey are fu'rning'ii'p to the door get in." 1 bad barely time to place myself in this receptacle for the dead, when a hoarse voice one that I knew by description which I had of it, called out "Here, you Dick?" The woman threw her apron over her bead and opened the door. "V here's Dick?" "lie hasn't got back yet;" returned the woman. "Ob, he ain't Jen, hav yer hurd a horse go by to-night?" j. es uniy a lima wtue ago a small man:" "Yes driving like the devil." "1 guess," she said, and then paused, "you can hear the horse now," feigning to listen, iui iiii must nave been of a sus picious nature. I beard him leap iroin ins norse and strike with jarring plunk upon the sod. A biuouidenug tire was burnic on the stoue hearth. I could imagine Bill's attitude he bad a baud on each door-casing, his brutal head was thrust inside the room; he was peer iug about the apartment. " W bat iu h is that?" he question ed auu my Heart stood still, for kuew he spoke of my retreht. "It's buuffer'a coffin. Dick agoiug to carry it over to-night." ftiun." ejaculated the desperado, "as he maue his bed, so let him lav buzzards are the sextons for. the likes u' hiui." 4 he woman aori of groaned, and then 4 heard Wolf go uu aud joggle tue rain barrel at the coruer of th cabin, aud finally go away with the remark: "He uiu't fur off; be couldn't stick lo ttat blind critter w hen he begau ter hurry. ' "What shall I do? what shall I do?" gasped the woman; "they will oe UacK iu twenty minutes, for I be lie? e that your horse is ia sight,' not niore than three-quarters of 'a mile off, and my husband is liable to come at any moment." "But with hiru inside the houso we might" "With him.'" she emphasized it in despairing tones "he's Hill Wolfs brother." I was out of the coffin in a trice then, you may wtll believe. "It is death for ycu any war," she moaned, "lor I hear the rattle of Dick's axles already," "Stav, there's the rain barrel," said I, in desperation, "they've tried that once, they may not again." And before you would be able to speak a sentence, the water was dashed out of the casl; cad stealing dowc into the arid soif, audi was iu the Tjarrel, and the woman dropping a tub half filled with water in at the top as a cover. " She had barely time to enter the house, the door of which, fortunate ly, opened on the side away from the moon, when a rattling vehivle drew up at the door, and I beard a hoarse voice raving and swearing at the woman for something done, or un done, and then from the bunghole, the plug having been dislodged in the upsetting of the cask, I saw the furious return of the three renegades. There was a good deal of loud talking, and explanations, and oaths, and stirring up of hot nectar, and rough remarks about the coffin in the corner; but Dick and the woman both seemed sore about that matter, and the man peremptorily refused to join the hunt because ofthe coffin. Well, vou're eoio? onr war piece," said Wolf, "likely enough Tou'll have Ihe Tun of seeing us wing the turkey." The conversation was distressing ly personal, made acutely so by Dick asking: "Is there water enough out there, Jen, to drink my horse?" "I'll see," she returned, moving slowly over tho door sill, and then leaping to the cask she lilted out the tub and tipped my prisou over a lit tle so that I could spriuir out. I was behind the cask when Dick came . . I- .4 , .- . .. io luti uoor, ana cnirrupea his breast up to the tub to drink. "I'll go with you as far as the torks, as two of them came out with the coffin and slid it into the body of the wagon. They then stepped back, probably to call the uluers- .ai mat moment a wnu ana aespe - rate plan entered my brain, but feel ing for my knife 1 found that it was missing, along with the beltto which it was attuched. In the sudden jostle which the falling steed had given rue the girdle had been snapped and lost without my knowledge.' The horses of the three renegades my own, which had been retained by the hostler at the ian, among them were hitched on the farther side of the door where the moonlight, strik ing by the end ol the cabin, rested fully upon them. It vas suicide to atieiupi seizing one oi tnem; out as the woman with some purpose in her miud sang out to the men to come back and get the last dipper full of liquor which she Lad mixed, I seized the only alternative. I sprang light ly into the wagon, lifted the coffin lid, and again crawled into the long narrow prison. There was no choice. Tho flood of moonlight had swept so far towards my hiding place that only a part ot my body was concealed by the barrel, and 1 knew that discove ry was inevitable, for the man's horse stood in such a position that in order to recover the reius he must have trodden upon me; and there was no earthly thing as far as the eye could reach over the plain, behind which a man could hide.. Ah, but w bat if he should readjust his freight? Can you thiuk how my heart puti.ped away at the thought. You wander what my plan could be? I had none, other than the hope of having only one man to deal with, if he went on his way as he calculated. The three ruffians were mounted and all were about to start, when the woman ran out with some sort of a blanket and muttered something about cov ering the coffin. The men yelled out to her to mind her business" and let the thiug alone. She retreated with the cloth, but she had accomplished her purpose. In Its folds she had concealed a bowie knife; under its cover she had raised the lid and dropped the weap on inside, risking giving me a cut as it fell upon me; but in the momenta ry noise and confusion 1 had got the weapon in my hand, and with its point raised the heavy lid of the rough box the fraction of an inch so that breathing was easy if mv posi tion was cramped. The three horsemen spread out, l . I . WV remarmng to cacn otner: "lieat up the game now speedily before, by any miracle, he gets into the wooded belt by Buford s fcpringa." Tbey continued to halloo at each other for some time; their liberal potations surmounting their discre tion. "Dick," thev called back as thev wre driving off, "a cool twelve hun dred a piece: throw out your old shell and join the hunt." The driver mumbled something, but the whisky bad thickened his speech so that it was unintelligible to me. If he did attempt to move the cof fin, I was lost. They kept within hailing distance for the length of three or more miles, Dick smashing the heavy wagon along at a stunning gait; and I ex pected every moment that my shell would be jostled, 0v,V Bj and by there was a shout off to the right; a "tally ho," as if the huntsmen had sighted the quarry. Nothing but an unwarrantable quan tity of liquor could have influenced them to conduct themselves as tbey did, for no so- ner had they called out from the right, than Dick came to a sudden halt, leaped from the seat, and ran off towards those who were hallooiug. For one instant my heart stopped beating at the thought of the hazard I was tbout to run. Tbo next mo ment I sprangjirora the coda to the ground.

"The days pass some in wild, fierce storms of snow and sleet, that howl around as though all tho de mons of the steppe were in arms, some 'n bright suushine, whose in tolerable glare bliuds and blisters your face. From time to time we drive down iuto darksome under ground boles, hot and riiekin?, hover around the streaming samovar, pour ing down oceans of boiliug tea; then out on the silent steppe again to con tinue the wea-y struggle. There are nights when we awaken from a half broken sleep and remember we are in the heart of the mysterious regions of Asia, and see nothing but the wide, snowy steppe, silent and ghost ly in the spectral mooulight. For miles aud miles there is no human habitation, but the burrowlik-; sta tions somewhere fur ahead, buried under the snow, as though crushed into flatness Ly tho grim uniformity above. There is something strange ly oppressive and awful ia the changeless monotony of these wide, snowy plains, level as a floor, where for days aad weeks you see nothing but saow and sky, where you are the moving centre of a horizon-bounded plain, that seems to move with you, and hang upon you, and weigh you down like a monstrous millstone.

Cinevinati Enquirer. Character f ghahepeare. In Hamlet we have the expression f high wrought passion, drearuv madness. So, too, in Macbeth, Lear, Sbylock, and Othello there is mad ness; but each has his constitutional disorder, each his constitutional fren zy. Macbeih's rage is for the glory aud power of a throne; Lear's pro ceeds of great personal afflictions; Shylock's proceeds of insatiable greed of gain; Othello's derange ment is occasioned by jealousy, pro ceeding of wounded self-love and amativeness. I'oor Ophelia craves our sympathy on account of her double bereavement at one fell stroke so unexpected. Falstaff, who occupies so conspic uous a place in the second group, appears all tho vain, nensual, truck liug braggart he is, and ia striking contrast with the impulsive tender ness and devotion of Romeo and Juliet. On the other side we have the sub tile yet jocund I'eiruchio. and the shrew Katharioe, whose "taming" seems so well to have been brought about. FigLeadedness is written eniphati-i cally on the face of he stupid Dog berry. So, too, Sir Toby shows a beastly heaviness, born of his sot-1 tish habits. As for Mulvolio, the vain, conceited, strutting steward, if he be not Darwinically and liueal ly descended from the genus "don key," his features, no less than Lis words and actions, do certainly be lie him.
