VBOM ALBERT SMITHS MISCELLANY THE FIELD OR FIRESIDE. We entered the country of the Arlemcsia : and with the exception of snakes, and an occasional sage-cock as rancid as the berry upon which he feeds not an animal was to be seen. We had encountered the Eaat buffalo, an old bull, three days before. Him we had tilled ; but the meat was tough and stringy, and, taking out tho tongue and hump ribs, we had left the remain- A BOOK FOR sward with their hoofs, looking wildly around. I have no alternative 1 shall steal back to my horse, take the red ' mackinaw1 from my saddle, and display it over the 'nopals.1 I had come to this resolution, when all at once my eye rested upon a clay colored line in the prairie, about a hundred yards beyond the point where the animals were feeding. It was evident ly a break in the surface of the plain a buffalo road, perhaps the bed of an arroyo. In either case, the very shelter I wanted, and the game was approaching it step by step as they fed. The ques tion now was, could I reach this hollow in time ; and giving up the plan of spreading my blanket, I resolved to make the attempt. Creeping back out of the thicket, and leaving my horse where had lied him, I ran alongside of the ridge towards the point where I noticed it was depressed to the prairie level. On reaching this point, to my sur prise I found myself on the bank of a broad arro yo, whose waters ran slowly over a bed of sand and gypsum. The banks were low, not over three feet above the surface, except where the ridge im pigned upon the stream. Here there was a bigh bluff, and hurrying down to its base, I entered the channel and commenced wading upward. As I had anticipated, I soon reached a bend, where the stream after running parallel to the ridge, struck upon a huge rock, and sweeping round to the right, had canoned the hill. Here I stopped, and looked cautiouslv over the bank. The antelopes had approached within fifty yards of the arroyo, but still quietly cropping the grass; and once more bending back 1 proceeded up the stream. The bed of the arroyo was soft and yielding, and I was compelled to lift my feet with caution, lest their spjashing might disturb the game. After a weary drag of several hundred yards I came to an arte mesia bush, which grew solitary upon the top of the bank. 4 1 must be high enough thought I. I clutched my rifle firmly, bringing it to the level. I then slowly raised myself and looked through the leaves of the artemesia. I was in the right spot, and sighting the heart of the buck, I fired. He leaped three feet from the ground, and fell back again a lifeless lump. I was about to rush forward and secure my prize, when I observed the doe (instead of bound ing away, as I expected) run up to her fallen part ner, and press her tapering nose to his body. She was not more than Iwenty yards from me, and I could painly see that her look was one of inquiry and bewilderment. All at once she seem ed to comprehend the fatal truth, and throwing back her head, commenced uttering the most pit eous cries, at the same time running in circles a round the dead body of her mate. I stood wavering betweentwo minds. My first intention was to load and kill the deer, but her strange and plaintive cries, entered my heart, and completely disarming me of all hostile feeling nay, more, I. began to feel remorse for what 1 had already done. Had I dreampt of witnessing a spectacle so painful as the one before me, I should never have left the trail. ' Jerked bull? for a month, and half rations at that, would have been happiness to what I endured as I listened and looked upon this strange scene. But the mis chief was now done. 4 1 have worse than killied her,' thought I ; 'it will be best to despatch her at once, and in this way relieve her of all pain.' Actuated by the principles of a common, but to der of his huge carcass to the wolves. We be gan to repent of our generosity as we rode farther, her fatal, humanity, I rested the butt of my rifle into the desert. We were already on half rations' and reloaded. Wih a guilty look and a faltering of the "jerked,1 and, as the hunters remarked, hand I raised the piece and fired. My hand was ' dried chawins" it was. We might ere long, be glad of a steak from the same old bull. Nous ver-rons. As we rode along, threading our way through 0fher murdered mate. steady enough to do the work. When the somke floated aside, I could see the little creature bleed ing upon the grass, her head resting upon the body the wormwood bushes, an antelope sprang up in our path. Half a dozen rifles were raised, but I shouldered ray rifle and was about to move forward, when to my astonishment I found my before a " bead1 could be drawn, the sly animal seif held by the feet, and firmly as if my boots was far beyond range, dashing the white leaves had been screwed in a vice ! I made an effort to from his shining flanks. The rifles came back to their rest across the pommel of the saddle, while their owners, with looks of disappointment, might be heard apostrophising the 'goat' in not very res pectable terms. About a mile further on, and at some distance to the right, I thought I observed a pronged head disappearing behind a swell of the prairie. My companions were sceptical; and wheeling out of the train, I started alone. My horse was fresh and willing, and whether successful or not, I knew that I could easily overtake them by camping time. I 'struck directly towards the spot where 1 had seen the object It appeared to be only half a jnile from where I had left the trail. I found it nearer a mile a common illusion in the crystal aW cloudless atmosphere of those elevated re gions: J A curiously formed ridge a couleau des prai r'xes on a small scale traversed the plain from east to west. A thicket of cacti covered part of its summit; this thicket was the point of my des tination. Dismounting, I led .my horse slowly up the slope, and, on reaching the cactij fastened the lariat to a branch. I theri crawled cautiously through the spiky oval3 toward the point where I expected to find the game. To my joy, not one antelope, but a brace of these beautiful animals, were guietly grazing beyond but, alas ! too far beyond for the carry of my rifle. They were full three hundred yards distant, upon a smooth, gras: tsy slope, Avithput even a sage bu3h to serve me as a cover. What was to be done ? J lay ,for several minutes thinking over the dir. known in hunger, craft for taking, jibe antelope, Should J imitate their call? Should I hojstithe handkerchief ! .Nu,;they. were-too shy. I&newtthisfrom the fact that,' atishort intervals thoy threw up their graceful necks', and 3trpck the j raise my legs, but could neither raise one nor the other another effort more violent was equally un successful a third more desperate, and losing my balance, I fell back with a splash into the wa ter. Half suffocated, I endeavored to recover my upright position. This I easily accomplished, as my knees were already below the surface of sand, and, in fact, now bent with difficulty. On my feet again, what could I do! 1 was still fast as before. I could neither move forward nor backwards to the right or left and I became sensible that I was gradually going down deeper and deeper ! Then the fearful truth flashed upon me I was sinking in a quicksand ! A feeling of horror ran through me. I renew ed my efforts with the energy of desperation. I bent to one side, then to the other, almost pulling my legs from their sockets, but my feet I could not move them an inch. The soft, clingy sand, already overtopped my horseskin boots, wedging them around my leg, so that I vainly endeavored to draw them forth: and I could feel that I was still sinking, slowly but surely, as though some horrid monster was leisurly dragging me down ward. The very thought was-horror, and I cried aloud for help; To whom ? There was no one within miles no living thing. Yes ; the neigh of my horse answered me from the hill, mocking my despair. 1 bent forward as well as my constrained posi tion would allow, and with phrenzied fingers, commenced tearing up the sand. I could barely touch my feet ; the little hollow I was abje to scrape out, filled up quickly as it had been formed. A thought occurred to me- 'I will place my ri fle between my thighs, horizontally; it may sup port rrie for.a time.1 I looked around for 'the ob ject. L had'dropped it in-my first efforts to get free,; !Jt was beyond my' reach irhad disappear ,eu. The next thought ' Can I throw my body flat, and thus, by constant exertion, prevent myself from sinking deeper!' No; the surface of the wa ter was two feet above that of the sand. In this position I should have been drowned at once ! I proved that by bending forward and wresting my hands upon the bottom. The running stream swept my face and shoulders, and I rose again half choked with the water. The last hope had left me ; 1 could think of no other I made no ef fort to think. A strange stuper seized upon me my very thoughts were paralysed. I knew that I was going mad for a moment I was mad. After an interval my senses returned. I made an effort to rouse my mind from this paralysis, in order that I might meet my death, which I now felt was certain, like a man. 1 stood erect ; my eyes had sunk to the prairie level, and resting up on the still bleeding victims of my cruelty ; my heart smote me at the sight, and 1 could not help feeling that my fate was a retribution from God. With humbled and penitent thoughts I turned my face to Heaven, almost dreading that some sign of Omnipotent anger would scowl upon me from above. But no ; the sun was shining as brightly as ever, and the blue canopy of the world was without a cloud. I gazed upon it, and pray ed with an earnestness known to the heart only in similar situations. As I continued looking up, an object attracted my attention. It was but a speck when my eye first rested upon it, but every moment it grew larger, until against the sky, I distinguished the dark outlines of a huge dark bird I kenw it to be the obscene bird of the plains the buzzard vulture. Whence had it come t who knows 1 Far beyond thegreach of human eye it had seen or scented the slaughtered antelope, and with a broad silent wing, was now descending in spiral gyrations to the feast of death. Presently anoth er, and another, and another, and many others, mottled the deep azure, curving and wheeling si lently earthward ; and then the foremost swooped down upon the bank, and after gazing around flapped off towards the prey. In a few seconds the surface of the prairie was black with filthy birds, who clambered over the dead animals, and beat their broad wings against each other, and tore out the tongues and eyes with their fetid beaks. And now came gaunt and hungry wolves the white and coyote stealing from cactus thickets, and loping, cowardlike, over the green swells of the prairie; these drove away the vultures, and dragged forth the entrails with the quickness of thought, and growled, and snarled, and snapped vengefully at each other, and licked the blood clotted jaws with looks of guilty enjoyment. ' Thank heaven! I shall at least be saved from this.1 I was Boon relieved from the sight of it; my eyes had sunk below the level of the bank, and I had looked my last upon the fair, green earth ; I could see only the white gypsum walls that contained the river, and the water that ran heedlessly between them. Again I fixed my gaze upon the sky, and with' prayerful heart endeavored to resign myself to my fate. In spite of my en deavors, the memory of earthly pleasures, and friends and home, would come stealing upon me, causing me at intervals to break out into wild paroxysms of grief, and shouting for help, make fresh and fruitless struggles. During one of these moments my horse again neighed, answering my shouts. A thought struck me ; I shall see him before I die. Journeyings shared hardships, had made us known to each other ; he would come at my call ; the lariat was loosely tied, or tho soft cactus would break at a single jerk. I lost not a moment to attempt its execution. I raised my voice to its highest pitch, and cried 4 Moro ! Moro V A loud neigh was ray answer a neigh of recognition, that came back as quick as an echo. I again shouted 4Proh ! Moro ! Proh !' I listened with a bound ing heart. For a moment there was a silence, only a moment, and then came the hollow sounds of the prancing hoof; at first rapid and irregular, as of a steed struggling and rearing to get free, then another neigh, and after that the stroke of the iron heel in a measured and regular gallop. Nearer appeared the sounds, nearer and nearer, until the gallant brute bounded out upon the bank, here he halted, and flinging back his tossed mane, uttered another shrill neigh. He was bewildered. and looked on every side, snortine loudlv. I knew, that having once seen me, he would not stop until ho had pressed his nose against my cheek his usual custom; and holding up my hand, I once more called out the magic words 4 Proh ! Moro ! Proh !' Now, for the first timer lookinrr downwards, he perceived my head and shoulders above the wa ters; and atretching himself, he sprung out into the channel and came towards me. The next moment I held him by the bridle, There was no time to belost. 1 was still going' down ; and my armpits were fast nearing the sur face of the quicksand. Reaching up, I caught the lariat,, and passing it under the saddle girths, fastened it in a tight firm knot. 1 then looped the trailing end, making it secure around my body, and across my ribs. I had .left enough of the rope, between the bit-ring and the girths, to ena ble me to check and guide the animal, in case the drag upon my body should become too painful. All this while, the dumb brute seemed to com prehend what I was about, as well as the nature of the ground upon which he stood; for, during horse for a moment to re-adjust the thong. This was done ; and giving the signal a second time, I was drawn from the tenacious element, and fell myself a feeling 1 cannot describe sailing along the water. I sprang to my feet, with a shout of joy. 1'rushed up to ray brave steed, and throw ing my arms around his neck, kissed him with as much delight as I would have kissed a beautiful girl. He answered my embrace with a low and singular neighing, that told me I was understood. I looked for my rifle. Fortunately it had not sunk deeply, and I soon found it. My boots, with my spurs, remained m the quicksand, and doubt less, by this lime, have reached the granite for mation, to be fossilled and thrown up by some fu ture convulsion. I made no attempt to recover them being smitten with a wholesome dread of the place where I had left them but mounting my gallant Moro, I was soon scourning across the prairie in the trail of my compagnons du voyage. I reached camp at sundown, where 1 was met with wodering looks and such questions as ' Did yer kum across ihe goats Wheres yer boois V 4 Whether hev ye been huntin or fishin ? 1 answered these questions by relating my ad venture; and for that night, at least, my horse and self were looked upon as the ' tallest buffers in that gang.' Should the reader ever wander to the Rocy Mountains, he may hear the story much better told of 'that ar feller who wur fetched right, out of his boots !' From Howiu's Country "Year Book." TheQnakers during the American War. George Dilwyn was an American, a remar kable preacher among the Quakers. About fifty years ago he came over to this country, on what we have already said is termed a "Re ligious Visit." and being in Cornwall, when I W was ihere, and at George Fox's in Falmouth our aged relative still narrates soon became an object of great atiraction, noi only from his powerful preaching, but from his extraordinary gift in conversation, which he made singularly interesting from the introduction of curious passages in his own life and experience. His company was so much sought after, that a general invitation was giveu, by his hospiia- had not been able to sieep, asked his wife- if she slept-; and she replied that she could not for her mind was uneasy. Upon this, ho con fessed that the same was his case, and that he believed it would be the safest for him to rise and put out the siring of the latch as usual. On her approving of this, it was done, and the two lay down again; commending themselves to the keeping of God. This had not occurred above ten minutes, when the distant sound of the war-whoop ech oed through the forest, filling every heart with dread, and almost immediately afterward, they counted the footsteps of seven men pass the window of their chamber, which was on the ground floor, and the next moment ihe door string was pulled, the latch lifted, and the door opened. A debate of a few minutes took place, the purport of which, as it was spoken in ihe Indian language, was unintelligible to the in habitants ; but that it was favorable to them was proved by the door being again closed, and the Indians retiring without having crossed the threshold. Tho next morning they saw the smoke rising from burning habitations all around them ; pa rents weeping for their children who were carried off, and children lamenting over their parents who had been cruelly slain. Some years afterward, when peace was re stored, and the colonists had occasion to hold conference with the Indians, this Friend was appointed as one for thai purpose and speaking in favor of the Indians, he related the above in cident ; in reply to which an Indian observed, that, by the simple circumstance of putting out the latch string, which proved confidence rath er than fear, tbeir lives and their property bad been saved ; for that he himself was one of tho marauding party, and that on finding ihe door open, it was said " These people shall live ! they will do us no harm, for they put their trust in the Great Spirit."

Again, a similar circumstanco occured near the sea shoro, when the flying and pursuing armies had strippod the inhabitants, and when, apparently to add to their distress, the wind set in with such unusual violence, and the sea fascination upon human beings, and there is no reason to doubt the truth of this. An old Dutch woman, who lives at the Twelve Mile Creek in the Niagara district, sometimes gives a minute account of the manner in which she was charmed by a serpent ; and a farmer told me that a similar circumstance once occurred to his daughter.
