A ROCKY MOUNTAIN SKETCH
BY SOLITAIRI’.
“n a hrighl June morning. while sealed
in ramp on n lofly ridge near lhe Colorado
river. in which. wilh lwo companions. l
was engaged in napping beaver, l descried
far down on the plains. an object moving
which I knew lo be a buffalo. a'lhough in

it was impossible— to plunge down was not
to he thought of but as an act of despair,
and alternative there appeared none. 'l‘o
thus have to come to a hurried decision.
wrth peril on every side, the chances were
ten toone that the worst hereof the dilem
‘ma would be chosen. The sequel will
show.
A small projection of about three feet)
long by one wide. upon uhich grew 8 low‘
ecrubby boshes, presented itself at about‘
ten feet distance from the edge ofthe ra
vine. and. without a second thought, I heldl
a moment by the edge ol the precipice. and '
dropped upon this small shell, which shook l
and q-iiveied from the concussion of my
leap. until I fancied I could feel itsliding
lroiii its place! The thoughtwao horrible.‘
and. l shut my eyes in a partial moon, ex
pecting the next moment to he dashed into
the bubbling current below; hut alter iratt
ing a reasonable time and no concussion
occurring. I opened them. and now my
heart grew sick again at the peril of my
positionl from which there appeared no
prospeciof escape. I had spent but amo
ment in this contemplation—rindjust then
thoughts were speeding rapidly through my
brain—when the infuriated bull. his eyes
like balls of fire. and the rod current of lile
spouting from his nostrils. appeared above
lme. on the very brinlr, his four lioofs push
ling the earth at the edge upon my hend.
lwhile from‘his month he deluged me with
la flood of sanguine hue. My position was
ghorriblo—niost horrible. 110 pawed the
:earllt and feebly shook his mane as if in
iexultatinn that tiiii destroyer was about to
be destroyed. and then the deep heaving ol
lhis mighty chest would again deluge me
l with its torrent of lava. u hieh felt hm an n
.BlIO“ er from Etns, and fell dyeing me like
:aome victim for a heathen sacrifice.
Suddenly the struggle of the wounded
bullalo appeared to cease—the blood pour
ed from hie nomila an uninterrupted stream
-—his eye grew dim and its glassy stars
was fixed upon mine. Whtle his body for
a moment swayed to and fro. as if he watt
about to sink down upon the earth—but
dreadful was the thought, and terrible be
came the certainty that hts huge form was
gradually etnktng over the edge of the pre
cipice. directly above theacant footing up
on which I stood. 'l'herc wav no escape!
Every moment made hts fall tn tho ravine‘
more certain. and. at the contemplation oil
being hurled by this dying mass into the
craggy bed ofthe stream beneath. my blood
congealed with terror ! Slouly hta dark
form sunk. and the earth crushing away
beneath his bending limbs battered down
upon me. unttl, with apprehension. Ihad
grown mad. When. with a rushing sound
like an avalanche. the wounded beast tot-‘
tered over the verge For a moment. as
he struck the projection on which I stood. ‘
his bulk poised. and the next, frantically
grasping his shaggy mane,l was hurled
with him to the bottom of tlie ravine, my
3 slender resting place on the side of the pre
cipice lalling around me in a shower. I
‘wae stunned for a moment with the shock.
but the cold stream bubbling about me soon
brought back :onsciousness. u hen 1 found
that my antagontst had happily fa‘lan un

A SPANISH Ronnmt—Hn lma'r 'rElt
mam. ACTBt—A letter to the London
Times. dated Madrid. Aug-1.8, says:-—An
act of singular ferocity took place a day
or two ago in the prison of Salamanca. A
notorioua robber and murderer, named
Patino. the terror of the surrounding coun
try tor years. was lately captured and
tried by court martial. He was at first
sentenced to be shot. but the military nu
thorities. thinking such a mode of punish
nient too honorable for S'Jcli a niiscreiint.
obtained its commutation to strangling hy
the garolc. 0n the morning of the 3d in
stant. the turnkey proceeded. at; in usual.
to iiilorin the. criminal that the. Judge at
Flfll ln-itance. accompanied by the uni
bana. had arrived '.o announce in form his
sentence, and to transfer him to the cone
demoed chapel. preparatory to hit execue
tion. He was found with one of his leg!
releneed from the letters. having skillfully
employed a file lor that purpose which he
had concealed on hi.- per-nu.

traversed the dungeon. he flung hirnficll

eltUCk him on the head and lltl'illetl him a
gainat the wall outside. He then locked
the door and shot himself up in the cell.
The oflicera of the prieon, the judge and
chaplain implored him to cease such liuit
lésw resistance and to open the door. or
pass the keys through the grating. He
refused, and uttered agnimt them the
most horrible imprecationa. A blacksmith
lavas called to undo the luck. but did not
isucceed, its massftie strength resisting alll
his efTorta. ”all a dozen strong men then
tried to break Open the door with crowbara
and heavy pieces of timber. They suc
ceeded, and the door fell in lragmentst—
The lury of the criminal then rose to ita‘
height. He placed hlln't'” behind a strong
beam which went across the upper part of
the door on the in~ide, and brandishing
the formidable key. actually 'hroke the
head of the first man who attempted 153’

was dragged out hy his lega by his cum
rades. The others tried to enter in a bo

ol an hour he kept them at bay. and an

There are many indications that God is
preparing the way for the speed, introduc
tion of his gospel into all parts of the earth.
Recent events in China. taken in connec
tion with what he had recently done in
other parts of Asia. show that he is deter

world to his people. '
The progress which religious freedom

years. is a moat significaht occurrence.—

was beheaded at Constantinople,in.cir
cumstancéa peculiarly otTensive to the civ
ilized world. The Christian governments
of Europe thereupon sent their remon
strances to the Sublime Porto; and it was
hoped that the law under which this indi
vidual suffered. would henceforth be trea
ted as a dead letter. in the course of a
few months, however. a Greek was put to
death at Broosa for a similar oflence.-
This new instance of intolerance immedi
lately arrested the attention of Great Brit
ain. and called (oth a declaration that
could not well be disregarded. Then it
was that a memorable pledge was given
l in the followmg language: ” The Sublime
l Pnrte engages to take efiectual measures
to prevent. henceforward. the execution
‘nnd putting to death of the Christian who
is an apnslale.” This' pledge. in terms,
did not meet the demand of the British
Government. lt lelt the Sultan atliber
ty to punish Mahommedana who should
renounce their faith, with the utmost se
verity. It was predicted at the time, how
ever. that the English Ambassador would
never acquiesce in this interpretation; and
the representatives of the Christian Gov
ernments were ready to take the same
View of the subject. But it is doubtful
whether the most ardent friends of reli
gious liberty expected to see in 1846. such
a change in the policy of the Sublime
Forte as we are now permitted to record.
The recent trials which the evangelical
Armenians have been called to endure.
has invested the whole question of tolera
tion in Turkey with new interest andim
portanre. Most fortunately for the cause
of truth and righteousness. it happened
that the English Ambassador was prepar
ed to do whatever became his office and
station. The Prussian Ambassador. and
the American Charge were also willing to
second him in his endeavors. As the re
sult of their eflorts. they have secured the
‘most unqualified recognition of the prin
lciple. that men are not to be punished/or
itheir religious belief. Not only has the
l'l‘urkish Minister of Foreign Affairs assen
ted to this doctrine, but even the Armeni
an Patriarch has given it his sanction in
the most public manner. And the repre
