February 17, 1858:tf iEt0Ccllanc0U0e riRE-llESD OP THE PRAIRIE. The haze of Indian Summer is on the land scape, and the face of nature begins to as same tho cheeriest aspect of autumn, the leaves falling before every breexe which rus tleth through the forest, and the tall waring grass being already dead upon the prairie. Oat on one of those extensive buffalo ran ges, which lie between the Missouri and the liocky Mountains, far beyond the regular footsteps of civilization, in an unsettled re gion so vast that you would require days to reach even a log cabin of a pioneer, there is a scene about to occur which may bo worthy of your notice. The etout and finely proportioned form of a trapper is seen in bold relief against the western ky, even after the ruddy tints of the retreating sun had vanished from the clouds in that direction, for be stands upon a small mound leaning against bis rifle, and patting the bead of bis gaunt but intelligent dog, while be looks earnestly away in the direction whither the sun had departed. Could yon yourself ascend the knoll, yon would perceive that there is a faint streak of light on the western borrizon, with a silver edge; and it rapidly increases in size, as the old hunter gazes upon it, until even a person unacouainted with the Wild scenes of the West would have no hesitation in declaring the prairie on fire. Immediately under this advancing wall of flame and curling smoke are dark and rapid ly retreating forms, bounding onward and upward, till a portion of their outlines are distinctly seen against the ruddy light. Even as yoa begin to realize that these furious ad vancing shapes are troops of buffalo and oth er wild animals of the prairie, yoa also de tect the first sounds of their heavy tread, and their noise increases every moment in volume till it seems as if a wild tornado is sweeping down to destroy all things before it. For several moments the trapper regards the coming destroyer, with a calm look of unconcern on Lis features, and then be looks on every side, as if to see bow large a num ber of animals ar lieeiDg before the peril. But he has brought his gaze up to the spot where he is standing, has scanned the whole space in front of the fire, bis quick eye rests upon the form of an Indian at no great dis tance on bis left band, who with, his rifle against his shoulder, has sighted a huge buf falo, which is approaching at full speed. In an instant the furiously advancing ani mal is near enough, and then there is a sharp report. The buffalo does not fall, but' be reels and stumbles with one leg, in a manner which indicates that the leg is broken. An other report from a second barrel and the huge animal falls quivering on the plain, the bullet having 6truck him in the forehead. The Indian sets up a shout of triumph and is hastening towards his game, when his ' eye rests upon the form of the trapper, who stands so unmoved and motionless seeming the very statue of defiance. A wild exclamation of alarm escapes him, and he comes to a halt still gazing upon the object of his terror, and appearing to have lost all fears of the de stroying element in the greater fear which the presence of that being ar oused. Down comes the wall of flame, and, fleeing before it, those countless multitudes of ani mals of various kinds, all sheering off to the right or left of the knoll and bellowing loud ly as they proceed. The Indian, too, by wa ving the blanket on the end of bis rifle, has managed to split the rushtng herd, and 'tis nut long ere all of them havo passed but the fire is close behind them. For one moment the Indian gazes upon the motionless form of tho hunter, and then, j violently startled by the proximity of the fire, he draws a huge knife, disembowels the buf falo, and ensconces himself therein. ; Down conie3 tho whirlwind of fire, with the speed of a race horse, and soon sweeps over the scene, leaving a Xare and blackened soil behind. Dut the Indian comes exul tingly forth from the snug retreat, when "the destroyer has parsed and again looks toward j the trapper. That person is still, as calm and unmoved as ever, though the flamas are at the very root of the knoll, leaping and cracking and roaring like an ocean storm. An instant they play fitfully around the edge of the knoll, and then leap up in the centre, and dash across the spot where the trapper U standing, envel oping him in their folds. A moment later as the lire sweeps on, the trapper is seen advan cing over the soared prairie, toward the In dian, and is ere long in bis presence. 'The Fire-Fiend of the prairie," muttered the red man, in a voice of terror, and he falls upon bis face. IIa! you know me perhaps you have met me before?" . "Xo, no, sir," but for ten years no other name has been so much an object of terror and astonishment to our people. Yoa have been fearfully avenged, spirit of the murder red Ford!" "Listen, Decotah! I am not the spirit of Hiram Ford, the trapper, bat Iliram Ford himself. I havo not been avenging my own murder, but that of my wives and babies. I was not slain as your people supposed my wounds bealed, and I lived, and am now be fore you in my trua guise. But my ven geance is appeased, and for favour from you or your people I will forever bury the hat chet " "And that one?" asked the Indian, raising bis face, and gazing upon the man before him, with a look of inexprcesable awe. "I wish to be conducted to my son who was spared. I know that he was not reared among your people, else would I have effec ted his rescue long ago. lie was sent to a distant tribe. But where? Where is he at this moment? He is dead?' " Liar!" cried the trapper, seizing the In dian, and ehakiog him with as mch ease seemingly as if he bad been a child. "I have been making inquiries, Fake. , my boy is living, and you know where be is. Speak!" I he footsteps of a number of corses, fu riously ridden, now attracted the attention of the trapper, and be looked away in the direc tion from which the fire advanced. He saw a while horseman approaching with a woman seated with him on the saddle, and behind them halfa dozen Dacctahs in full pursuit. "If you'aro only a mortal," mutterred the Dacotaji, while the attention of bis compan ion was fixed on the new comers: and. having drawn fcu knife, he aimed a furious blow at his heart. But the wary trapper bad not been so fully of his guard as the Indian had sup posed, and so quickly as the leap from the cloud, defacinz and consuming, so quickly did the Indian lie mortally wounded at the feet of his loe. Enough!" he cried, in a faint voice, "the evil spirit tempted me, or I should not have braved you. The prophetess rtold me that you were my destined destroyer feel that I was to attempt to give the lie to her words! But," he added, in a rapidly failing voice, "yoa would know where your son is. Listen ha, ha! He is now near you, with six brave Dacotahs in full pursuit; he cannot es cape them; he and you will both be destroyed, and I ha, ha! I shall be avenged. He partially arose, pointing brief in stant towards the approaching fugitives, with a steady finger and a sullen look of triump, and fell back dead! The trapper looked to see that both bar rels were ready for the work of death, and then rapidly advancing toward the new com ers. The pursuers were already so near the pursued that they could not refrain from a continual yelling, by way'of expressing their joy, and the jaded horse of the fugitives ex hibited such signs of exhaustion that there was only too much reason in their yells of triumph. But when the eyes of tho Indians fell upon the trapper, they became as silent as death, and reigned in their steeds. "They remember," bo muttered, "how I have often met a large force, single-handed, and came off victorious; they will pause to consider In the meautime " The trapper did not finish the sentence, for the horses of the fugitives fell to the ground and made lo efforts to rise. The young man and woman arose, apparently uninjured, and the trapper was soon beside them, looking cu riously from oue to the other, but finally res ting his eyes fixedly on the face of the youth, who wsj soorrrssgerly regarding him in tarn. "The Indians!" cried the girl, and the cry called the attention of her companion in that direction. The pursuers were in full re treat. - "Saved'' exclaimed the girl, and she threw herself into the arms of her lover weeping with joy. A very affecting seen succeeded between the father aud the son for such they were. The youth now learned that his father was really alive, although he had supposed the contrary, and then went on to describe his adventures during the twelve years that he had been a captive He told how the lady, who was now his betrothed, bad been the cause of his flight from the Indian settlement, and explained how she had been stolen from her parents a few months previous by the In dians. ' In conclusion we will say the trapper and his son went to St. Louis and settled. It was not long after this event was known, and not very long ago that Elder Ford told his little grandsons how he had built up his 'Fire Fiend reputation. The secret was, that he had discovered a kind of cement, by which a complete oil-cloth suit which he had secured was rendered lire proof. A Scotch Answer. Tho Rev. Ilalph Erkshire, on a certain oc casion, paid a visit to Lis venerable brother Ebenezer. "O, maa," said the latter, -'but you come in a gude time. I have a diel of examina tion to day, and ye maun tak' it, as I have, matters o' importance to settle at Peath." "With all my heart," quoth Ralph. "Noo," says Ebenczer, "ye'll find a mj folks easy to examine butane, and him I reck on ye had better na meddle wi.' He has an old fashioned Scotch way o' answering ane question by putting another, and may be he'll affront ye." . . "Affront me," quoth the indignant theolo gian, "do ye think he can foil me wi my ane tools?" "Awcel," says his brother, 'Tse gie ye fair warning, ye had better na ca him up." .The rccossant was one Walter Simpson, the vnlcan of the parish. The gifted Ralph determined to silence him at once with a lead ing unanswerable question. Accordingly af ter putting a variety of simple preliminary interrogatories to the minor clodhoppers, be at once, with a loud voice cried out: "Walter Simpson!" "Here, sir!" says Walter, "are ye wanting me?" Attention, sir! Now, Walter, can you tell me how long Adam stood in a state of innocense?" "Aye. till he got a wife," instantly cried the anvil hammerer; bateau you tell how long be stood after?" "Sit down, Walter," cried the discomfited Divino. - . : X3Tne that thinks himself the happiest man really is so; but he that thinks himself tco wisest is generally the greatest fool.

A Beautiful Extract. It v. as night Jerusalem slept as quietly amid her hilU as a chili upon the breast of its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a statute at bis post, aud the philosopher's lamp burned dimly in tho recesses of his ebam ber. But a dark night .was abroad upon the earth A mortal darkness involved the na tions in its uulightod shadows. Iloasou shed a faint glimmering over the minds of men like the cold and insufficient shining of a distant star. The immortality of man's spiritual na ture was known, hu relations unto Heaven undiscovered, and his future destiny obscur ed in a cloud of mystery. It was at this period that two forms of ethe rial mould hovered about the land of God's chosen people. They seemed like sister an gels sent to earth on some embassy of love. The one of majestic statue and well formed limb, which her snowy drapery hardly con cealed, in her erect bearing and steady eye, exhibited the highest degree of strength and confidence. Ilcr right arm was extended in an expressible gesture upwards, where bight appeared to havo placed her darkest pavilion while on the left reclined her delicate com panion, in form and countenance, the contrast of the other, for she was drooping like a flow er when moistened with refreshing dews, and her bright but troubled eyes scanned the air with ardent but varying glances. Suddenly a light like the sun flashed out from the beav ens, and Faith and Hope hailed with exult ing suns the ascending star of Bethlehem. Years rolled away, and the stranger was seen in Jerusalem. lie was a meek, unas suming man whose happiness seemed to con sist in acts of benevolence to the human race. There were deep traces of sorrow on his coun tecance. though no one knew why he grieved for he lived in the practice of every virtue and was loved by all the good and wise. By and by it was rumored that the stranger worked miracles; that the blind saw, the dumb Fpake, the dead lived, the ocean moderated its chafing tide; and the very thunders artic ulated, he is :hs Son of God. Envy assailed him to death. Slowly and thickly girded, be ascended tho hill of Calvary. A heavy cross bent him to the earth. Bat Faith leaned en his arm, and Hope, dipping her pinions in his blood, mounted to the skies." Afraid of Snake. In the course of the evening, our jolly joke-cracking company got, as usual, on the subject of snakes. Many remarkable stories were told, some of which were interesting, while others were dry and dull. I cun give you but one at present;, . . . ''We have the greatest coward about snakes up in Calhoun, that lives in America. He came from the East last Spring, and bought a farm close to whero I live; and for the first six months in the country, I don't think he slept two hours a night, "for he felt sure a snake would manage some way to get in his bed. "He sowed a nice piece of oats, but the snakes prevented his harvesting it. I'll tell you how it was When the oats got ripe, he was certain it was full of snakes, and that he'd get bit if he ventured over the fence. "One day he concluded he'd take a look to see if there were many snakes in the patch so he got his old horse; and after leading him through the gap, and laying up the fence to keep the hogs out, he took an old ythe snathe in his band to fight with in case of an attack, mounted the horse, and struck boldly out into the oats, holding up both legs as high as pos sible. "He hadn't gone far when he saw a wh--ling big snake slipping along the oats after him. Away he went, round and round the patch, and away went the snake right along with him; some times at the side; sometimes behind and sometimes before. He couldn't get out of the lot because the fenco was up and as the snake kept constantly with him, there was no chance but to leave the old horse, and try to keep out of its way. He went it in that way till every stalk cf his oats was tramped down, and until tho old horse was just about dead, when be discovered that he'd been running all the while from the shad ow of his'seythe 6nathe." Llazle Green in Porter's Spirit. Triads. There are three, things which never become rusty the money of the be nevolent the shoes of the butcher's horse, and a woman's tongue.

It will tarn out and pack eix thousand gross of matches in a day; at a cost but little removed from the raw ma terial, and of a quality quite beyond anything the public hu seen.

Cincinatti Gazette. 'Half Ouit. if you I'leasa" When young Hodge first come to town, his father told him that it would be polite, when being helped at dinner, to say to ths Lost, "Half that if you please." It so happened tht, et the first dinner to which he was invited, a sucking pig was on one of the dishes. The ! host pointing with bis knife to the young porker, asked, "Well, -"r- Hodge, will yoa have this, our favorite dish, or a haunch of mutton?" Upon which, reccollecting his lesson, he replied. ''Half of that, if you please," to the consternation of all present. "What a blessed thing it is," said 3Ira. !

And as the old ladj closed her eyes to get a glimpse of the spirit al vision, a lond scream of pain came from Isaac, who had got a hornet between his thumb and finger. At a late trial the defendant, who was not familiar with the number of words employed to make a trifling offence, after listening awhile to the reading of the indictmeut. jump ed up and said: "Them ere allegations is false, that ere alligator knows it."
