THE SCHOOL-GIEL.
Vht if ber eye. we soft and blue,
Wb.t if br '"Sh w" ,,ght;
MbJU if no mid lever knew
Was half so merrT ,nd brlSltT
What if ber de was holy spot.
Tht seemed to my dreaming eyes
Like the single p' shadT mt
Where s streak of tunshine lies?
What if my heart could show to-day,
If the school-house yet were there,
The Tery peg iu the entry-way
Where she hung her bonnet fair?
What if my sou! no jot hath lost
Of its ycuth in the world of men;
What if I see the field we crossed,
With a clearer view than then?
I know not what is it all in vain
That the dear old scenes thus stay ?
That the soul will not. with the mortal, wane,
Nor its verdure Sing away?
There's a heaven, 'tis said, for all things good,
Fur the hopes we can scarce define;
Fur the long loot joys of our babyhood
Is there none fur dreauis like mine ?
HUNTED BY A JAGTJAS.
You niut know that the jaguar, general
ly is lite other wild beasts in this respect
tint he don't prey on human flesh. lie
preys on animals and fi.sh, and only fights a
man when he in attacked himself. But
though tuis is true of the jaguar in general,
it i? not true of some particular ones, you
see. When one of them has once met a
Wn, ami fousht with him, he is nat the
sauie beast for the rest of his life he's more
ferocious an 1 blood-thirsty. Even if the
man escape, this is true. But when he
don't e-r ap! when he is killed, and the ja
cuar eats him up ah, that's a dreadful
mi.-fitrtnne.
Of course, it's always misfortune for a
human Li-ir.g to be killod, that's understood ;
hit it's a n.ifortune in this case, for this
reason ; the j ajrnar becomes from that day a
hunter of men. lie watches for men night
anl day, arid woe to the man that crosses
Lis track.
Well, that was my lot exactly. I crossed
t'nc track ot a man eater whose fame was a
terror to the whole country. The hardiest
hunters would tremble at the sound of his
name tor he was so celebrated that he was
k(iown far and wide by thj nickname of
''The -Murderer." lie had succeeded in
vaii-liim; and eatins eleven men up to the
i.uie I ran across him, and so you may un
( :-taod what a monster he was. He'would
i.iure forth nearer the edge ot the great
s"ith American forest than any other he ist
t tribe for you kuow the jaguar lives
crv deep in the wood, as a rule.
Well, about the one I am speaking of, I
pa into trouble iu San Blanco, and was
o! ).'. li take t& the woods for safety, till
my companions could join me. It was not
without a very uncomfortable feeling under
my wai-tcoai that I struck into the woods
for I had no more deadly weapon than my
knife-no cun, no pitol nothing that I
ci iM even aiietnptto defend myself with in
'i. of aii attack.
Tliere wers rumors that "The Murderer"
had been sc-en within a few days in the
neighborh-j'wl ; and, in fact, the provincial
justice had that very day issued a call to the
Lunt-uicn of the district to gather on tire
raorrow, and set out in pursuit of this ter
rible man eater. So, of course, my tbo'ts
vere lull of the beast.
You niut know that there is a broad des
frtletwecn ian Blanco and the woods a
vast wa-te without water of vegetation, and
only here and there a tree. But it would not
?jrj ia a safe hiding place, and so I had
t hurry across it as fast as I couljin order
'J S i into the woods.
1 "ad ..ne but a little distance in the
w forest, locking about cautiously, when
1 heard, a way off in the distance, a noise
hichl knew at once to be the jaguar's
r'ar. My mrves were all of a tremble, ow
giot!,c t xcitcimiil I was in, and thisad
W to tiie tuct (hat I was waiting every
ini'iuto in Car of that very sound, made me
h 'ar ii a v.reat distance off. My fiei-h al
most erc:t as I heard that lous terrible
Teecu, a noise such as do other animal
fakes, and enough to set your teeth on
J.--e, cv.i, if he didn't mean death.
it did meau death to me and a ter
r.Lledi ath too.
This and a good deal m ire ran through
ay head like lightiiins, when I heard that
lar-off xTcaming; I knew he had snuffed
n'J yltij, and I imagined him crashing
"uth the woods, his tail flying and his
"es blazing, on my back. How wa3 I to
ape' At first I thought of going up one
of the pr-at solid trees which were around
Bie Uh .hen I remembered that the ja-
Pj: ira, a .skilful climber, and that with
lr h:nillg branches he could easily
fssehnie. My only chance was to reach a
wrob t,, ,. w,.;ch stood al, a,one on
O'wrt. '..-wards the town. Perhaj s the ja
Mr id not follw me there,
1 he screaming was now distinctly audible,
ar"'l I was no l,)riger ; Jouht. Throwing
fF even-thing that could encumber we, 1
?an t0 ran. I am a good runner ; I nev
raw many men that could run with me,
at lo "a;n a jaguar ? I never had any
"3ol djingit. Still I thought I might
r' ch the carob tree.
o' cries became more freouent and loud
r I ran, and at last looking back when T
about half way to the tree, I saw ,lThe
"' ,,rJ,:rer" springing over the ground.gain
ngon me at every bound. Nevertheles, I
reach the tree in time. It was a tall
4na sllm one ; therein lav iu value, von
? Prehend. There was only a nest of
"fartooes up at the top.and none but a good
climber could ever have got up. It was far 1
from a strong tree, and my climbing it made
it shake and sway, but it was of tough wood,
and I managed to get into tbe top.
Did you ever see a bird light on a holly
hock stock? Then, if you have, you kuow
how the stock will sway and quiver under
the birds weight Well, what that bird was
to the hollyhock, I was so that carob tree.
It swayed and shook under my weight just
like that hollyhock under the bird. But I
knew the tree was tough, and I didn't feel
afraid not on that my thoughts were on
something else, very much more dangerour.
Yonder the jaguar came, bounding along
on my track, smelling the ground every now
ard then, like a pointer dog, and then set
ting up that appalling roar that no living
man can hear without his flesh creeping.
That's a fact, whether the man is afraid or
not, it's a curious and well known effect of
the jaguar's roar, that it makes the uerves
tingle in that quivering way that we call
flesh-creeping.
When ho had got within about fifty rods
of tbe tree he seemed to lose the track.
H i got off to the side and passed, uncertain.
He put his nose to the ground, snuffing ea
gerly, and dashing around at last in a fierce
fury of rage at having lost my trail. lie
lashed Lis body with his long tail, he
bounded about, he rent the air with screams
of anger; and I thought he would have
been a splendid sight to look upon if I could
have felt safe. But I knew he would pres
ently get on my track, and then well I
could not bid . very high on the chances for
my escape, I assure you. He was in a fine
passion by this time, and in his circling
about kept drawing nearer to me in the tree,
though he had lost my trail. He was a mag
nificent specimen of his kind about two
feet and a half high, and six feet long,
without measuring his tail ; his hide a
fierce yellow, spotted all over with dark
rings.
At last he got the trail again 't and being
by this time so long balked of his prey, ho
set up a wild screech that made uie shiver,
and no mistake.
The nest instant he had sprung forward
and grabbed the tree with his huge paws,
and was standing on his hind legs, staring
up at me with his fierce, red eyes. The lit
tle tree trembled under the influence of his
weight ; and I felt like fainting and falling
from the tree to be eaten up.
. Finding he couldn't climb such a slender
trunk, the jaguar got down, drew back a lit
tle, and gave one great leap at me. He
couldn't jump to where I was, thojgh. But
he struck the tree high up, and, for an in
stant, clung to it, bearing it over with Lis
weight, till I thought, "Ah, may the saints
protect us! my time has come!"
But it was only for a moment. Then be
gan a scene which never, to my dying day.
shall I forger. I lived years in the two
hoiirs'of horrible suspense that followed.
Dott under me the jaguar raged. He
swepv -around and around the tree, his red
eyes fixed on me with an unrelasing vigi
lance. Tired at last, with this, he crouch
ed 'doton 'inder the tree, roaring with fury
at being thus tantalized, fixed his eyes on
mine and sat there; his red mouth gaping
wide showing his jagged rows of teeth, and
his tail beating the ground. My attitude
in the branches of the tree was such a one
that it began, at last, to tell upon my over
strained muscles. I felt myself growing
Weaker and weaker. The jaguar's eye3 ex
erted a sort of facinatiou over me, as a ser
pent's docs over a bird. I couldn't change
my position without great danger jf falling,
and I began to matter to myself, like a man
who is going crazy. "
All of a sudden I began to pray ; and as
I prayed my strength seemed to return to
me, and hc fi'm that was gathering over my
eyes to break away.
"O Father in heaven," I breathed "save
me from the jaws'of this terrible man eater;
save me! save me I"
It was all I could mutter, for I was like
one sinking into a dream.
And all the time sat the jaguar, his gaae
riveted on mine his eyes seemed absolutely
red with gore blind to everything in the
world but the mau whose blood he thirsted
for, deaf to every sound, conscious only of
his prey, and his rage at being baffled so
long.
"Ah, my prayer is heard."
There came the swish of a lasso, which
went over the beast's neck suddenly, and
was drawn tight. Swish, went another from
the other side, drawn tight Then, for the
first time, I tore my gaze away from the ti
ger's blood red eyes, and beheld my deliver
ers. "Juan! Pedro!" I screamed aloud, and
fell to laughing immoderately.
"Saved !" ranie the answer. "Saved.com
rade! Climb down and slay your enemy."
I slid out of the tree like a monkey. I
whipped out my knife and approached the
jaguar.
"Pull, Juan!" I cried; "pull, Tcdro !"
Drawn thus at opposite directions by two
lassoes the jaguar reared, helpless, on his
hind legs. I took my knife and plunged it
into his side, and bounded back out of "The
Murderer's" way. He fell dead at my feet.
Nothing is more easy than to grow rich.
It is only to trust nobody ; to befriend none ;
to get everyt hiag you can and save all you
get ; to stint yourself and everybody belong
ing to you ; to be the friend o' no man, and
have no man for our friend ; to heap inter
est upon interest, cent upon cent ; to be
mean, miserable and despised, for some
twenty or thirty years riches will come as
sure asdisease and disappointment.
It is stated that there are always five
thousand well-to-do Americans in Paris.
MAEEIED BY TELEGEAPH.
"Mr. Leary, are you a married man?"
"Very, sir."
"Very why do you say very T1
"Because my dear little wife and I are
bound together by wires !" .
"Latimer Leary, you talk enigmas."
"Then, sir, to be as plain as a primer, I
will inform you that I was married by tele
graph." "You don't say!"
"Yes, I do."
"Then tell the company all about it" ,
"I will, with pleasure. Ladies and gen
tlemen, my wife Las a second, cousin, and
was also a Leary. She once resided in the
city of Indianapolis, while I was a resident
of Centerville, in tbe same State.
I was a bachelor of thirty, but full of ro
mance and general love. I say general love
because I had not made a concentration.
'"Why don't you take a wife?" was eter
nally buzzed iu my ears. "Whom will I
take?" said I. To this query a score of
friends would say: "Your relative, Kate
Leary."
"Kate Leary ? Why she is my cousin !"
"Only a second cousin," they would re
tort ; and your opposite, Latimer. Kate is
a blond, and you as dark as Erebus or the
ace of clubs."
I had never seen Miss Leary, but this
continual association of the young lady with
my wedded life had an influence.
One day a member of Congress exclaimed:
"Mr Leary, were I single, I would assured
ly pay court to your magnificent cousin.
As I am married, and you are my best
friend, I earnestly hope you will possess
that luxury."
At this period I was a merchant Hav
ing discharged a thieving clerk, I was so
confined to my store that a journey to Indi
anapolis was out of the question. I was
growing almost wild to see one whom all
praised, and so many wished me to wed.
In a few days from the call of my legisla
tive friend, his brother, a noted Judge, ap
peared at my store. The Judge was also
my devoted ally a position intensified by
his recollection of being educated by my de
ceased father.
Drawing a daguerreotype from his coat,
said he : "I wish to show you something
nice. There, what say you to that?" I
told him it was absolutely enchanting.
"Who is it?" I cried with enthusiasm.
"This, my dear friend, is Miss Kate Lea
ry, the lady I wish you to marry."
"Tell me," exclaimed I, "is she is she
all they claim for her?"
".My dear friend, honestly as I value
truth, I have not heard her sufficiently prais
ed." "Why don't some man try his luck?"
"I am glad you ask. Simply because
she is over courted, and consequently hard
to please. She is clearly romantic, and I
clearly see not winable by otdinary meth
ods." "You say she is very particular?"
"She is, sir."
"Then good-bye for me."
"Xot all ; she is rapturous over your like
ness, and sends her cousinly love, with an
invitation to visit her. I pledge you I omit
ted not single ood point in your body, cali
bre and character."
"Do you consider her daguerreotype ac
curate." "I can tell you it don't flatter her. She
has extraordinary beauty, and the kind that
is more striking in animation or conversa
tion." While mutual friends in Centerville were
lauding my fair cousin, mutual friends in
Indianapolis were decided in their eulogies
of me, and preparing her mind .for an alli
ance. I am not very self-conceited. Belieying
such concord must be born of an obvious
fact, I settled on the idea of marrying this
wonder in beauty, soul and accomplishment
My intent was quickly confirmed upon
hearing that a very wealthy and influential
bauker from Gotham was in the melting
mood. I remember it was midnight, I
hinted from my store the last of a batch of
chronic loungers, and selected the best sta
tionary iu my establishment I was to
write my first letter to Kate.
From all that had passed a fine style was
easy. 1 always flattered myself od my syn
tax, and will unegotistically affirm that my
missive was at once tender, audacious, dig
nified, wild and intense. I struck her like
an electric shock. The bauker was laugh
ed out of competition, and your humbie ser
vant was master of the situation.
Such a reply as I received! Well you
must see it I have good gass works, but
am inadequate. In a brief time, we learn
ed that each knew the other well The
much said by so many mutuals, superadded
to our daguerreotypes and letters, made us
a comprehending couple. In fact, we con
fessed our love a full, round, ripe and
luscious article. There could be no unsafe
ty in the case. Our lineage was in com
mon and every fast known. What followed
is clear an engagement! yes between un
seen lovers and cousins.
I was "dyiDg" to fold her to my heart,
but my solus condition and maturing ap
pointments postponed indefinitely.
What do you say ? Why, didn't she vis
it one of our friends at Centerville ! I an
swer you cheerfully. She was an odity.
She had her notions and would entertain
them. Though we were plighted, she de
clared it should not be said she made the
first visit Many believed she was right.
I don't argue the point, but merely an
swer a question.
Weeks passed, letters were numerous and
copiously saccharite. The time arrived when
I could endure my angle condition no lon
ger. : What if some one were to cut me out
at the eleventh hour? With such love what
would become of me? I war determined to
own her, even if I did not see her for a de
cade. An idea dawned a brilliant onel 1 was
determined to compass a speedy marriage
and satisfy our romance. After a flood of
tenderness, by way of dramatic peroration,
I wrote: " my adored one, let us depart
from the stale routine, and wed by tele
graph." The idea took her by storm. Her answer1
was characteristic. It ran thus "Darling
I will The idea is savory, but ia it legal ?"
Immediately I sent for my friend, the
judge. Soon as he faced roe, said I, ''judge,
is a marriage by telegraph legal ?"
"Certainly, sir; I see' no objections' to a1
contract by telegraph. : I readily perceive
how all requirements can be accomplished."
"Will you state this opinion on paper,
and prescribe a formula for au electric wed
ding?" ;
"With pleasure, sir."
The Judne understood me, and gladly
complied. The result I forwarded to Kate
by return mail, and soon received word that
on the following Thursday she and proper
authority would present themselves at the
Indiana polis office according to said formula
there to enter upon the holy estate of mat
rimony. I tell you the appointed day was a great
one among the mutual friends at each eud
of thi wire. The affair was so novel, that
all else was eclipsed by the contemplation
of it.
Clergymen and witnesses assembled at
the termini. There in full costume, two un
seen lovers were to be made man and wife.
The instrument began its lick-tick ticking.
The operator read, the clergyman put ques
tions, I answered, the instrument did more
work, and soon I was saluted as the hus
band of Kate Leary. Happy was I, though
the possessor of a lady I bad never be
held. One week passed and still I was without
help. My brain was becoming phrensied;
I must see Kate, and I must go to her first,
for it was' berfiat, and well did I know what
a Leary was.
By entreaty I prevailed upon a brother
merchant to loan me his best clerk. Soon
as be put his foot in the store, I put mine
in a stage, en route for the capital of Indi
ana. When about twelve miles from the city,
we stopped for a passenger.' It was a young
lady. Such a being I never beheld. She
resembled my likeness of Kate but was far
more beautiful. I own my heart wen t out to
her. Call mo fickle ; say what you please,
and I will bear it I repeat my heart gush
ed for a flood of love.
Here was a fix ! I, a married man, going
to seehis telegraphic bride, and as telegraph
ically in love with another woman. I began
to repent my haste, and, when too late saw
the crime of marrying one I had never put
eyes upon. What would I do? The lady
was also married, for I heard the driver call
he madam.
How she eyed me ! I spoke about the
coach window being raised to suit her. She
thanked me in tones that acted like an ar
terial stimulant I was Jgone. Much con
versation followed, and I was a goner. I saw
she was giving me sweet, yet pleading looks.
Heavens ! thought I, she is unhappily ma
ted. Suppose I betray my love how would I
feel when in the presence of my wife, and
what power would I confer on a total stran
ger? I had it I would betray nothing, but
offer consolation to a flower most surely ne
glected. We were the only passengers.and
what a good chance !
"Madam," said I, "please pardon me,
but you seem to exist under a cloud."
She sighed deeply.
"May I ask if you are a widow ?"
"Well, sir, not a widow; though I don't
live with my husband."
"Poor soul!" said I.
She put her handkerchief to her mouth,
about half of it went in ; of course it was
to stop her emotion.
"You are not happy, madam?"
"Very far from it, sir. I am miserable 1"
So was I meserableto put my arms around
her neck.
"Where do you reside, madam?"
"Indianapolis."
"Have you friends there?"
"Many, sir."
"No doubt of it Allow me to ask, do
you love this husband?"
"Devotedly, sir."
"Well, then why don't you live with
him?"
"Would be glad of the chance, sir!"
"When did you see him last?"
"I have never seen him, sir."
Here she again half swallowed her ker
chief.
"Never seen him? Why, what do you
mean ?
"Sir, have you not read of a telegraphic
wedding?"
"Julius Caesar !" cried L "Are you Mrs.
Kate Leary ?"
"Iam!"
"Then fall over here!" And I took her
to my bosom convulsively.
As I relaxed, she said, "Go on, Latimer.
I knew you from your daguerreotype !"
I will not prolong this, but merely re
mark that Kate is my next to the Great One
above. I have ever felt ashamed of my in
constancy, and would not lose her for the
wealth of the Orient I ever consider us
as bound together by wire ; and when ask
ed if I am a married man, I always feel like
saying eery.
A lady of Richmond, Virginia, recently

An Old Axe.
A few days since, Nathan Salisbury,T)sq.,
living in East Scott, Cortkudt county, New
York, foctod a very peculiar axe. Tbe cir
cumstances are as follows :
"At tin early day when Mr. Salisbury, in
company tfith others, was chopping and
clearing the forest of his newly acquired
farm, they came upon a very large hemlock
standing near the stream. After cutting
the tre down Mr. Salisbury discovered that
what appeared to be the heart of the. tree
was really a separate tree from the one just
felled. On examination, this tree within a
tree was found to have been girdled at some
previous time, leaving a small portion uncut,
so that the sap hid continued to traverse
the trunk until its growth had completely
overgrown the girdling, pud another tree
formed, growing to enormous dimensions.
"A few days since, near the trunk of that
tree, about twelve inches below the surface,
was found this peculiar axe. It is about ten
inches in length by three and one fourth
inches on the cut or edge. It is made ot
iron. Now, what is remarkable about this
axe and tree is this : that the girdling or
packing of the inner tree corresponds pre
cisely with the axe found, and counting the
concentric rings of the growth of the outer
tree, is found the remarkable fact that the
inner tree was girdled abtut one hundred
years before the landing of the Pilgrims.
Who was in that locality using an axe three
hundred and seventy-seven years ago?"
"Mr Father's Ccmmis." A young ur
chin was employed to sweep the chimney of
a house in Macclesfield, and having ascend
ed to the "summit of his profession" took a
survey. This completed, he prepared to
descend, but, mistaking the flue, he found
himself, on his landing, in the office of-a
limb of the law, whose meditations were put
to flight. The sensation of both parties it
is impossible to describe the boy, terrified
lest he should be punished, stood rivited to
the spot, and the lawyer.struck dumb, start
ed from his seat, the very image of horror,
but spoke not Sooty, however, soon found
a tongue, and in accents which only increas
ed the terror of the man of law, cried out :
"My father's cummin' directly."
This was enough. The presence of an
equivocal being, so introduced, unnerved his
heart, and with a bound the affrighted law
yer flew down stairs, and sought refuge - in
the street from the enemy. Lawyers, take
warning.
In Hot Water. A ludicrous and amus
ing incident recently occurred in connection
with the Gentile opposition to Mormon au
thority. A man coming from the West stop
ped at the Hot Springs, just, outside of the
city, and having heard much of their medi
cinal properties, was about to bathe in one
of them. After he had disrobed, and just
as he was about to plunge in, a stranger ap
proached and told him he could hot bathe
ili that spring. The western Gentile's ire
became aroused at once, and thinking it Was
another instance of Mormon despotism, he
immediately replied : "I can't ! I'd like to
see old Brigham orariy body else stop me!"
and in he plunged ; but he got out sooner
than lie got in, for it was a boiling spring.
His anger against the Mormons had not per
mitted him to ask the stranger why he could
not bathe there, but he was determined to
show Brigham that he could not stop him
from bathing.
An irascible old gent, who formerly held
the position of justice of the peace, was go
ing'down the street one day, when a youth
accosted him id a manner that did not come
up to his honor's idea of respect due him.
"Young man," said he, "I fine you five dol
lars for contempt of court" "Why, judge,"
said the offender, "you are not in session."
"This court," replied the judge, thoroughly
irritated, "is always in session, and conse
quently an object of contempt" Percisely.
''What do you mean by a cat and dog
life?" said a husband to his wife. "Look
at Carlo and Kitty asleep on the rug to
gether." "I wish men lived half so peace
ably with their wives." "Stop," said the
wife, "tie them together and see how they
will agree."
"I say, Pat, are you aslape ?" "Divil the
slape." "Thin be afther lendin me a quar
ter." "I'm aslape, be jaDers."
Mr. Joshua Billings says, "One of the
fussiest scenes I ever see, wuz two old maids
waitin on one 6ick widower."

way to heaven, and climb over great moun
tains in their way to hclL
Being positive in judgment to-day is no
