was borne along in my palanquin, on the

then, with a steltlen ls - tti(l for a itrd. he
struck the tree a treniendote , blow with his
bead and tusks. Ia as watching him c tete.-
ly, but only barely cotnpreheittled his design
in time to throw my arm-. an , 1 legs around
a lip and brace for the shock.—
Nor Wria I at ell too well prepared : for the
concussion bruised me censiderably, rind it
seemed to me as if a few pounds more force
must have sent me clean from off my perch.
But my enemy Iva.. not done yet. Step•
ping back and looking up at me with an ex
pression that scented to inquire what I
thought of it.at the ramelitue that he would
assure tne of its being only the beginning of
his battering operations, he returned to the
charge with increasel vigor. But this time
I was better pi epared for hint, and came not
so near being unseated as on the first trial.
Nothing diaieureged, he retreated still fur
ther, and then cause down like an avalanche.
It was terrible. I had twined and braced
myself in every possible manner ; but when
he struck, it seemed as if the concuasion, af
ter first bruising me, and almost knocking
the breath from my body. relaxed every
nerve. Donbtlese,l should have fallen to
the earth be only that I was pretty se
curely balan In the crotch of the tree,
and, baying resigned the main shock, had
now no difficulty in retaining an upright
position.
• On again looking down at the elephant.
I was surprised to roe him with his head
fast agaSnst the tree. Nib ing his tail. pawing
the earth, and uttering a sort of moaning,
bellowing sound, altogether not unlike a
ricking bull about to make tut attack.
I did notit fi compnaliend what had oc
curred, but stiptineetd his actions to reault
from the anger of disappointment in not
being able to bring ore to the ground. But
1 soon had cause for rejoicing rather than
fear. Ills last charge bad been 1110(141 with
so much force, as to imbed his lori'g:tvory
tusks in the tree, and ha was now a prisoner
to his own brute strength. In vain he pull
ed and wrenched, moaned, and bellowed,
and lashed himself into a perfect fury.—
There he was, a fast prisoner--caught, as
o ne mi g ht ear, in his own trap—and if weer
a poor mortal was instilled in rejoieint o'er
the misfortunes of a living et tedure, I think
that individual was myself.
" I was s ill a prisoner also. How
was I to get down? end how my escape

the terrible jungle to feel little inclination

and tl o mi-take of taking any one of these
vmtdd almost certainly be tistal—reauilting
in depth from storyation through being

should I do? It was reasonable - to hope
that some of my attendants would, sooner

that day, is 1101 my attention was at traetesl to
a commotion in the jungle, some quarter of
a mile tlimunt. Birds of various kinds flew ,
up scresuning, and either hovered over the
spot in anger or darted quickly away in
fear. and I could catch glimpt-e, of the deer,
the elk, and the buffalo, honnaling off in
e‘ei y direction. What could bo the cause
of this disturbance ? Was it some one or
more of my attendants returning to a...scer
tain my fate ? Man, I knew, was almost
universally feared by the wild, feathered
tribe of the wilderness and the animals of
the brute creation. anal in Inart was n ow m y
hope. Wildly did my heart L e m, and eager
ly did?i strain my eyes to catch a view of
my deliverer.
"The line of commotion advanced slow

till at last I felt a cold thrill of terror piss
through my frame, as I suddenly caught a
glimpser of the sleek, spotted hide of a royal
uggr, slowly and softly making his way
through theiungle directly towards the tree
upon which was perched. I looked down
at the elephant, and perceived that by some
peculiar faculty or instinct be was already
aware of his danger. lie was standing per
fectly still, no longer making an effort to
release himself, but I could secialie skin of
his broad backquiver, as if every nerve of
his body were affected.
"The tiger gradually drew nearer, and at j

and his terrible eyes glaring with &tree

- Happy Woman.
the Lancaster Evreas: A happy
woman is not the the very sparkle and
sunshine of life? A woman who is happy
I.s.causc she can't help it—whose smile even
the- coldest sprinkle of misfortune cannot
dampen. Men make a terrible mistake
when they marry for beauty,, for talent, or
for style ; the sweetest wives are those who
possess the magic secret of being contented
under any circumstances. .Rich -or poor,
Bich or low, it makes no difference ;. tho
bright little fountain of joy bubbles upjust
as musically in their hearts. Do they live
in a tog whin ? the fire•light.tbitt leaps up
nn its humble hearth bectnnesbeL•liter than
the gilded chandeliers in en Aladdin inilaees
Was ever the stream of life so dark and un
propitious that the sunshine °fa happy face
fulling across its turpid tide, would not
awaken en answering gleam? Why, these
je.yous tempered t.eople don't know half
the good they do.

Winter Rules.
Never go to bed with cold or danip feet.
In going into a colder air, keep the mouth
resolutely closed. that by compelling the
air to circuitously througif The nose
and head, it may become warmed before it
reaches the lungs, and thus prevent those
sudden chills and shocks, which produce
pleurisy, pneumonia, and other serious forma
of disease. Never sleep with the head in
the draft of an open door or window. Let
morn cover be on the lower limbs than on
the body. Have an extra covering within
reach in case of a sudden and great change
of weather during the night. Never stand
still a moment out of doors. especially at the
street corners, after having walked even a
short distance. Nerd ride near the opeft .
window of a vehicle fora single half minute,
especially if it has been preceded by a walk ;
many valuable-lives have thus been lost. or
good health permanently deatioyed. Nev
er put on a new boot or sine Y, the begin
ning of a long walk.

to pay a visit to the ugly family, and en

and about noon he saw a wagon ahead.
and rode up to inquire the whereabouts of
the _family.
