In January t, says the Lven- orth Commercial, John Wilson, a lad about sixteen yean of age, left hia home on Muiquito Bottom, in compa ny with hit father and two neighbors, for the purpose of hunting buffalo on j the upper Arkansas. The weather was all that could be wished, game was found in abundance, and the hunters secured as much as their teams were able to haul back so long a distance, and on the morning of the 10th pre parations were made for a return home. Not so, however, with young Wilson who had become enchanted with the wild scenes and wilder spoils. To Him it was a newVife of which he had often read, but had now become a living ac tor in its fascinations. To the left of the river.and beyond the skirt of tim ber in which the hunters were encump- stretchoJ the unbroken plain.on which, within range of vision, quietly grazed a small herd of buffalo, aud here and there scattered groups of ant-elopes. At this sight our young hunter became excited, and only "one more shot" be fore departing was agreed upon. Shoul dering his gun, he started out, and was soou lost to view as he picked his way quietly along the river bat-k and tim ber. Nothing further was thought of the young man's whim by the father and his companions who were cooking ra tions for the return trip and peaceful ly smoking their pipes. Young Wilson found the distance to the game much further than he antici pated, but ou getting within long range shot, his presence was discovered, and a general scamper was the result. Noth ing daunted, he continued the chase, fully determined on the last shot and a dead buffalo. Onward he went over the plain, through wood and thicket, regarless of all impediments; but four legs could wandef farther than two; aud he was left far in the rear. Time elapsed, unheeded by him ; night was upon him ; for the first time he realiz ed that he was alone upon the vast plain, his game beyond his reach, and companions he knew not whether. His reckoning was lost, and he stood be wildered. To add to his misery, one of those fierce winds, so common in that section, came up, and with it a driving, blinding sleet, transforming him into a walking icicle. Cold aud benumbed he started, as he supposed, for the wood along the ravine, but instead, traveled from it now hastening now slackening his pace as the cold affected him. At length he came upon a small clump of bushes, uuder which he took shelter, sat down, and was soon alseep and lost to his lonely position. The boy not returning in a reasona ble time to the camp, his father and companions became uneasy, and set in search of him. Guns were fired, In dian whoops and yells indulged in to the full extent of their lungs, but no answer came in response. The same was continued throughout the night, and large fires were kindled ou the hig'iest eminences in hope of attract ing his attention, but all in vaiu. Moruing came, yet with it no boy. The day elapsed in fruitless search, followed by another night of demon strations similar to those of the first. The angu:.sh of the parent in this ex tremity was almost unbearable. To 0 without hi Son be could not, i . for there, too, was an anxious mother fouudly awaiting their return from the hunt. On the third day, after fully deliber ating on it, the party coucluded to re turn home, form companies of their neighbors, and make a grand search for the boy on the pains. Awakening from his sleep, through a feeling ot coldness, young Wilson looked out upon the dreary waste be froe Liin. The wiud still bowled, but the sleet had subsided. His frozen clothes cla'uked about his body as he arose and picked up his gun. He now Adly comprehended hia situation, and hit first thoughts were of bit friends and something to eat. To choose his course puzzled him, yet no time was to lost. He plucked from one of the bushes a twig, sat it on end, and iu his bovih way resolved ougoiug the direfr . ti J tiou it might fall. As the result will how it fell in tb eppositr direction in that Faith let us to the end, PA., TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1871. from which hia friends were, and he wandered farther and farther away. For procuring food, hit gun was now hia only reliance, and as he trudged along, a sharp look-out was kept up for game. . The first day out, nothing in the game line presented itself, but on the econd a small herd of buffalo, on which he fireB.passed him. His shot was wide of the mark, and they were soon away. So passed the third and fourth days. Weakened by hunger and fatigue, he nevertheless, kept up good courage, and hoped thut if he did not find friends, he at least might fall in with other hunters or Indians, friendly or otherwise, he did not care much which, so long as bis scalp was safe and a prospect of replenishment of his vacaut stomach offered. On the morning of the fifth day he came to a small stream, skirted by a a few scattering trees. Here he gather ed up some broken limbs, and pulled out from beneath the roots, dry grass enough to start a fire. This he did by firing off his gun and blowing the wad into a blaze, which soon grew into a warming fire, by which his frozen clothes were thawed out and himself warmed. By this time be was too hungry and worn out to proceed much further, and he resolved on keeping up his fire through the day and night. While so engaged, late in the evening, he was suddenly startled by a gruff "How 1 and a big dirty Indian stood before htm, with a gun on his back and the hind quarters of an antelope. "Bully!" replied Wilson, as h- sprang to his feet aud rifle, "how your self!" and he gazed in astonishment at the intruder. The Indian comprehend ed the situation, profTered him a por tion of his meat, and they sat down together, roosted and ate raveneusly of it. The heat and food livened him up, and he soon ascertained that a band of friendly Indiaus were encamped a few miles below. To this camp the two repaired, and Wilson waa welcomed kind'y and fed for three days, when enough provision was given him to reach the settlements. His course was pointed out,, and he started on his homeward joifrney. He traveled three days, when he fell in with his father and his friends, who were returning to renew, the search for him. The meet ing was a joyous one, and young Wil son is content with "only one more shot!" A Nice Point. A fellow named Donks was lately tried at Yuba, California, for entering a miner's tent aud stealing a bag of gold-dust valued ut $84. The testimo ny showed that he had once been em ployed there, and knew exactly where he kept his dust; that on the night specified he cut aslit in thetent.reach- in, took the bag, and ran off. The principal witness testified that he saw the hole cut, saw the man reach in, end heard him run away. "I rushed after him at once," continued the wit ness, "but when I caught him I didn't find Bill's bag, but fouud it aftei wards where he had thrown it." "How far did he get when he took the dust?" in quired the counsel, "Well, he was stoopin' over half way iu, I should suy, replied the witness. "May it please your honor," interposed the counsel, "the indictmeut is i't sustained and I shall demand an acquittal on di rection of the court. The prisoner is on trial for entering a d willing in the night time, with intent to steal. Tbe testimony is clear that l e, made an opening through which ln protruded himself about half way and stretched out hit arms and committed the then. But the indictment charges that he act' ully entered the tent or dwelling. Now your Honor, can a roan enter a house when only one-half of his body is in and the other half out?" "I shall leave the whole matter to the jury. They must judge of the law, and the fact is proved," replied the judge. The ; jury brought in a verdict of "guilty at to oue hnlf of his body, and not guilty , as to tbe other halt."

One Touch of Nature. There are certain profound and nor mal elements in human nature, which become crystal ized in poetry or fable, and are thus found, iu slightly differ ing shape, scattered through all peri ods of history and all strata of society. Every one ha heard of Sir Philip Sydney refusing the draught of fair-water in favor of a wounded soldier, and wllVin a few days we have heard the story of a dying naval commander who, in the tnidf of his agony, thought I to send an order for a blanket to a seaman in place of the one hastily snatched for his pillow of pain. The following extract, from the Courrier dtt Bat-lihin (through the medium of its American name-suite), gives the same theme in a new but very touch-1 iug shape. It does not greatly con cern us to inquire into the historical accuracy of this or of its companion anecdotes. The Itslllans have a pro verb, Se non e vero e ben trovato, which might be freely translated: "If it is not true it deserves to be." So with the present extract, the beauty and es sential truth of the sent.ment may well close our eyes to the investigation of its merely literal verisimilitude. It would be unkind as well as unphiloso phic to question that such iucidents may have happened, and probably.still happen, whether at Metz in the year of grace 1780 or no. Neither is its pub lication open to the charge of F anco raania. Trot Tyriusve; the feeling in volved is humanitarian, not local, and will awake a responsive throb under the blue tunic of the Landwehrmann ns under the green frock of the chasseur d Afrique. But to the story. "On the 8th of October the chloro form began to give out at Metz. , A few local druggists had tried to make it; but the product was not fit for use, and the real article was scarce. At the temporary hospital of the polygon reu v.li, w here I waa on duly, we had hardly a litre and a hitif left. As we did not known how long the siege might yet last, it was our urgent duty to be sparing with it. On the morning after the fight, at Ladonchamps, there was a terrible influx of wounded, and we had our hands full.' "A chasseur of the guard is brought into the operating room, with his band badly shattered. It is found necessary to take off the bone to which the little Cnger is attached the fifth metacar pal. The man comes in on foot, still holding fust his gtin, which he carries slung over his back. 'Well, my good friend, we shall have to have a bit of an operation.' 'I know it, major ; that's what I'm here for.' 'Would you like to be made insensi ble?' 'Oh, dear, yes. I've suffered so much all night that I don't think I could stand it.' . 'Are you particular about it ?' 'Why, is it very scarce uow that stuff that puts you to sleep V We have scarcely any left.' The chasseur reflected a moment iu silenee, then, suddenly Well, keep It for those who hve lost legs or arms; but be quick.'

The End of Demi-Monde. Mabel Grey hat died of consump tion, and London mitres a celebrity better known than the thousands of virtuous and titled women who passed her carriage on Rotten Row with avert ed heads, and whose appearance was as attractive to the multitude as that of tbe Princess Alexandria herself. Her portrait in the shop windows claimed precedence of that of the Bishop of Oxford. She had a dozen Peers in her train, at one time was en gaged to marry the heir of one of England's oldestdukedoms, and num bcred the naughty Prince of Wales among her admirers. For three or for years Mabel Grey has held nndis puted sway as queen of the derai monde, a long reign for the sovereign of that unstable kingdom, the glory of the concert hall, the unapproachable deity of all the cads of London, the favorite affectation of the golden youth. How well she played her part is shown by the fact that only a liberal annuity sufficed to buy her off from the pur suit of a young and foolish nobleman of high 'rank, who had promised to marry her. The good mothers will feel easier now that she is finally re moved from her wicked conquests, but the poor to whom she was as generous as if she had been virtuous, and more so, will be the only mourners of Mabel Grey. "Scat." John Beaty is a lover. He bows be fore the schrine of bright ey and ro sy lips ; but being subject to the paren tal interdict,his interviews ae clandes tine. A few evenings since he was paying court to hisdulcinea. She had smuggled him into the parlor, and the darkness only served to conceal her blushes while John told the story of his love. The muttered words readied the parental ear, and coming suddenly in to the room he demanded to . know of Mary who it was she had with her. "It's the est, sir," was the numbling re ply, "Drive it out of here," thunderd paterfamilias. "Scat 1" screamed Mary and then sotto voce : ( John, growl a little,") John set up a woful yowl "That cat's got a cold" remarked the parent. John yowled louder than ever. "Confound it bring a light, and scare the thing out." This was too much, and John made a leap for the window, carrying glass and frame with him. "Thunder 1 what a cat?" said the pa rent, contemplating the ruin after the light was brought: "I never saw ally thing like it, and con found it, its tail is made out of broadcloth," . as be viewed a fltitteiin remnaut hanging from the wiud. One of tbe London Times' cor respondence relates au incident illus trating the utter demoralized con dition of Chanzy's army. Two dra goons found themselves surrounded and about to be taken prisoners by some thirty Mobiles. One of them talked a little French, and one-of the French soldiers was an Alaatiau who could speak German ; there was thus no difficulty iu communicating. The dragoons refused to surrender on an entirely new aud original ground. "If we go with you," said they, "we shall shaie your discomfort; but if you come with us you will share our com fort and escape all the danger and hardships oi me war. uu mo you will gain more by letting us take you than by making prisoners of ut." This reasoning proved irreisstible, two dragoons rodo back to their regi meut with their thirty Mobiles follow ing them like 'sheep. The Grand Duke was so much pleased with the readiness thev had diwplayod upou the occasion, that he made each of them a hand some present, which one of them was not distined long to enjoy, for he was shot dead a few kours later. When Horace Greeley traveled in F.urnna he was impressed with the valuo of drainage and immediately trot up an antethetical agricultural proverb to the effect that if a man dl.ln't drain his (krm. his farm would drau him.
