I had occasion to start suddenly on s tourney to Zacatecas; seising my hoist. era, I departed alone on horseback. In a few hours linvirs'ed at the rancho del Bola', when I informed myself more particularly respecting the road. I was told that I had to pass through a palm finest several miles in extent, and that I should find a rancho fifteen miles distant, the only one in thirty miles. Biding through the forest, the thought et robberanaturally occurred, and of taking a look at my pistols- On exami nation, I found I had left one to be repaired, and that the other had no flint. I felt in the bottom of the bolsters, but no flint ; so for my safety it was recess:try to trust solely to the respectable.ap ranee of a pair of bear skin bolsters. Plodd ng in the heat of the son, I &covered at a little distance (Ism the road, a bamboo hut. No one ap peared. but appearances indiCate4 that it was inhabited.

He protested friendship, and repeated his request. 1 re peated, that I could not gratify his curiosity in that respect. He became irritated, at length angry, uttering violent and abusive language ; the replies were short and harsh. Both were in front of the door, with each long knife in his hand, in the act of whit. ling. An hour passed in conversation, and intervals of silence. They walked away.' I thought 1 would wait until dark, and then, when their lasso could not serve them, rush towards them with the presented pis tols, and make my escape into the wood. Reclining upon my bed, although not di recting my eyes immediately towards him, I discovered ono of them natant, looking through an interstice in the side of the hut to observe my movements. I introduced my hand under the flap of the holsters, as if in the act of examining the lock and priming, and withdrew it with an air of con tent. He soon appeared again in front of the door, and bantered me to exchange hor ses, requesting me to mount his and try him. I replied that I wished to repose— that in the morning I would probably trade; and give him a fair difference. They mounted, it being about sun set, and taking my horse, observed they were going to water; they rode about a quarter of a mile, and turning a point of Palm wood, were out of eight. Alone, I took my pistol, withdrew the charge. and walked about the house in search of a stone fora flint. It was all limestone and would not strike fire. It was now time to resolve, and I did re solve that "prudence is the better part of valor"—taking my money and a few light articles I proceeded to the road side, noti• ced the way it ran, and saw the moon in the same direction. I withdrew a little from the road, thinking my friend might pursde me, and travelled with hastened steps, with the moon for my object, and knowing that the half way Rancho could not be far distant. After walking about three miles, occasionally stepping to my left to see if the road was near, 1. ;, o , rd the barking of the dogs of the R:t•.-t,o.

Widower Smith's wngen stopped ene morning bidore widow Jones' door, and he gave the usual country signal, that ho wanted somebody in the houso,dropping tha reins, and sitting double with his elbows on his knees. Out tripped the window,livoly as a ericket,with a tremendous black ribbon on her snow white cap.. Good morning was soon said on both sides, and the widow waited what was farther to be said. "Well ma'am Jones you don't want to sell one of your cows, no how, for nothing any way do you 1" 4 , 1 , Ve11, there, Mr. Smith, you could not have spoken Inv mind better. A poor lone woman, like me, does not know what to do with so, many creatures, and I should be glad to trade if we can fix it." So they adjourned to the meadow.— Far. mer Smith looked at Roan—then at the widow—at'Brindle—then at the widow—at the Downing cow—and then at the widow again -and so through the whole forty. The same call was made every day for a week, but Farmer Smith could not decide which cow he wanted. At length, on Sa• turday, when widow Jones was in a hurry to get through her baking for Sunday— and had ever so much to do in the house, as all farmers' wives and widows have on Sa turday-, she was a little impatient. Farmer Smith was as irresolute as ever. "That 'ere Downing cow is a protty lair cretur—but," he stopped to glance at the widow's lace, and then walked around her —not the widow, but the cow. "That 'ere short horn Durham is not a bad looking beast, but 1 don't know"—aa• other look at the widow. "The Downing cow 1 knew before the late Mr. Jones bought her." Here he sighed at the allusion to the late Mr. Jones —she sighed, aid both looked at each oth er. It was a highly interesting moment. "Old Roan is a faithful old milk, and so is Brindle—but I have known better." A long stare succeeded this speech—the pause was getting awkward, and at last Mrs. Jo nes broke out— "Lord, Mr. Smith, if I'm the cow you want, do say so !"

The beat and most original burst of pure natural eloquence that we have ever heard, came from a well educated and highly re. , spectable young man who had by inadver tonco got into a state of intoxication. Like many others, who sin thus, he was under obligation to his friends for his condition. Hard heads themselves, they had persua ded him to get iuobriated,whilo they remai ned sober enough to enjoy his eccentricac. tione. Hewas e erfectly crazy—and feeling aware of his situation, sought to amend the matter by making it worse. "Waiter"-- , he shouted, "another punch I" No •an. sorer—and no preparation rondo to' answer. The order was repeated—with like success —add at length he staggeredup to the bar and repeated his demand with an oath. The man in office at the shrine of Bachus, coolly told him that he could have nothing mora—that it was contrary to the custom of the house to furnish liquor to drunken men. A stern of maudlin astonisbment took possession of the young man's face. Like thunder waking a man from sleep, was that declaration—reaching the last glimmer of reason, and rousing his senses from their sleep in drink.—He supported himself with one hand on the counter, and looking around scanned the faces of the score or more of persons who had hoard this refusal. He felt his - own depth of his own littleness, and looked as if he would have gladly sunk through the floor. After a moment's silence ; during which the company pre sent had been awed from laughter into in tercet by conduct so unusual, he gathered himself up—perfectly erect, and for the moment perfectly sober. Not a joint in his body swayed or trembled—not a muscle of his face betrayed the fact that he htid ' been indulging. He burst out in a tram of reflection upon the unexpected degradation which he truly said he had for the first time reached—spoke with feeling—almost with agony upon the fact that he bad , been pro nounced incapable of taking care of him. self—a wilful idiot—and continued for some moments in a rational and eloquent train of deprecation of the disgrace, which those who heard can never forget. At length his strength gave out, and melting into tears he sunk into a chair. In a few moments the liquor and the dis grace, had, done its work, and while his friendsivere considering what to do, with him, he fell asleep and they caused him to be removed.
