THE PANTHER FOILED. Narrow Escape of an Old Hunter. Old Ben Wheaton, who lived in Brier Valley, about two miles from the Susquehannah river, was an inveterate lover of foreat sports. He, like most of the early settlers of Otsego, had se- lected « farm from the hill lands, leaving the broad stamp flats for hunting grounds. His shanty was erected on a small stream in Brier Vailey, which is now called, after his name Wheaton Creek. Tho most of his time was ex- vended in journeys through the forest, frequent- ‘y in company with a far-famed Mohawk In- dian, named Antone; but sometimes Ben loved te pursue his oa without a companion. And well he might, for hedid not need a guide. Every nook, dell, crevice and cave, from the Otsego Lake to the mouth of the Delaware river, waa familiar to Ben Wheaton, and he had often pursued his game toalmost every part of that country. He chiefiy hunted the wolf, as well for profit as for sport, for government paid a silver dollar, in the shape of a bounty, on every skin. Bent upon increasing his store of coin, old Ben, one fine summor morning, shouldered his rifle, and taking bis knapsack, containing a sufficient supply of corn-cake and dried veni- econ, he ernssed the Susquehannah, and took his way towards Franklin Mountain, which lies between the villages of Otsego and Franklin. The day was sultry, aad by the time he had | sccomplished one half the ascent of the moun- tain. he coneluded that he needed a rest. He therefore took a seat upon a moss-covered log. near a spring, smi ate his luncheon. The still solitale, the balmy air, together with the sing- ing ef birds and the lazy hum of the bee, final- ly lulled the hunter to repose. He must have slept long; for when he awoke the sun was de- chaning far westward, and afew ripples of gol- een light lingered on the tree tops, which ho | first noted after clearing a mass of dry leaves from his face which he thought had blown there; but in attempting to rise, however, he disvover- himse!f compietely buried in them. ‘ow, it is a notorious fact that the panther cover a sleeping or dead body, and leave it for a time, but only eventually to return and our it. The instant Ben awoke, therefore. the trath dashed upon his mind that a panther | had found and concealed him, and that the | beast might at that moment be watching him, ready to make the fearful spring. He arose quickly. seized his rifle, that rested against a tree, and hasily throwing together some large | pieces ef decayed wood, and covering them with leaves, he climbed a tree and waited pa- | tiently the panther’s coming. He had not to} wait long. Presently he saw it—a she one— | stealing along with eat-like tread, and with two | cubs behind her, which she hid in soma brush- | wood. Dropping herself on the ground. she crept slowly toward her expected prey, lashing the eartl@ with her tail, and her eyes glowing | like coals of fire. The appearance of things, however, did not seem to satisfy her, but she sprang up, elevated her back and threw hurself | upon her supposed victim with a wild yell. | The wood and leaves flew about in every direc- | tion, and for a moment the panther seemed | palsied by rage. Suddenly she leaped aside, dropt her tail, and peered around among the ushwood; then raising her eyes upwards, ‘ly emitting sparks of fire in her anger.) she encountered the bunter’s gaze fixed upon her. With another sereezh more terrible than the | first, che prepared to spring toward him, when | with an aim that seldom fatled, old Ben fired, | and she fell, tearing the earth with her claws. The shot was fatal. Our adventurous hunter reloaded the empty barrel, and waited for her companions to come up, but none srrived, so he killed the cubs and builts fire. This waza necessary proceeding, for the sun had set, and the darkening shadows | ef night were creeping into the landscape. | With true backwood’s audacity, he relied upon his fire for protection from further quadrupedal | prowlers, and stretching himself, with his feet | to the burning wood, on the leaves that had be- fore covered him, he once more resigned hii. self to the embrace of Morpheus. He often af- | terwards characterised the escape a3 the nar- rowest oa» he had ever experienced —N. F.

VOL. IX. Tae Beauty or Rocxs.—And truly, at first sight, there is such refusal in their look, and their shattered walls and crests seem to rise in a gloomy contrast with the soft waves of bank and wood beneath; nor do I mean to press the mere fact that, as we look longer at them, other lines become perceptible because it might be thought no proof of their beauty that they need- ed long attention in order to be discern But I think this much at least is deserving of our notice, as confirmatory of foregone conclusions, that the forms which in other things are pro- duced by rough fracture, when rough fractu re is to be the law of existence. A rose is rounded by its own soft ways of on, a reed is bowed into tender curvature y the pressure of the breoze; but we could not from these have proved any resolved preference by nature of ‘curved lines to others, inasmuch a3 it might always have been answered that the curves were pro- duced, not for beauty’s sake but infallibly, by the lawa of vegetable existence; and, looking at broken flints or rugged banks afterwards, we might have thought that we only liked theeurved lines because associated with life and organism, and disliked the angular ones because associa- ted with inaction and disorder. But nature gives us in these mountains a more clear demonstration of her will. She is here driven to make fracture the law of being. She cannot tuft the rock-edges with moss, or round them by water, or hide them with leaves and roots. She is bound to produce aform, ad- mirable to human beings, by continual break- ing away of substance. And behold—so soon as she is compelled to do this—she changes the law of fracture itself. ‘“Growth,’’ she seems to say, “is not essential tomy work, nor con- cealment, nor softness; but curvature is: and if I must produce my forms by breaking them, the fracture itself shall be in curves. If, in- stead of dew and sunshine, the only instruments I am to use are the lightning and the frost, then their forked tongues and crystal wedges shall still work ont my laws of tender line. Devas- tation instead of nurture may be the task of all my elements, and age after age may only pro- long the unrenovated ruin; but the appoint- ments of typical beauty which have been made over all creatures shall not therefore be aban- doned; and the rocks shall be ruled, in their perpetual-perishing, by the same ordinances that dircot the bending of the reed and the blush of the roze.""—Aushin. Waat Becoves or tae OLp Piaxos?—The | | question has been settled as to what becomes of | all the pins and all the fonnets; we now shall | endeavor to settle the question as to the fate of all the pianofortes. A few days ago our friend and correspondent, the “ Irish Rooster,’, was standing at the corner of Baltimore and Charles streets, conversing with several friends, when a furniture wagon passed with a miserable, woe-begone, worm- eaten pianoforte—one of the Clamenti structure, five octaves and no iron about it, save light serews and brads. Our Irish friend immedi- ately took off his hat asa mark of respect for the venerable representative of past ages, exclaim- in e The top of the morning to ye, ould friend! may you live for ever and a day after! Where, in the name of the ouldest inhabitant, did that magnificent instrument come from?"’ ‘* Itis mine,”’ said David Shaw, stepping up. “ T’ve just bought it at auction.” ‘“\ And why the divil did yer spend yer money on such a venerable trap as that?’’ “It’s the same piano that was used in the family of General Washington,”’ replied Shaw, winking to the company; “‘ as a venerable re- lic, I am proud to own * Bah!” exclaimed the Rooster, “ that’s the ould story; “ I've seen fifty Washington pianos inmy time. Bedad, but I'll relave yer of yer responsibility, and give yer two dollars for the erather.”” “Done,” said Shaw—‘‘it’s a bargain—al- though [hate to part with the relic. It’s a superior instrument, considering its age; but, you know, some things improve on age.”’ “ Exactly,”’ replied the Rooster—* wine, but not piano fortes and women.” The parties followed the wagon to Shaw’s, where the great sum of $2 was paid for the “last piano’’—the Rooster paying fifty cents extra fur its transportation to his dwelling— and a trifle for refreshments. A clear bill of sale having been made out and the transfer made, Shaw thus addressed the purchaser: ‘Tom, you've been bit—I’ve made one hun- dred per cent, out of my speculation—that ex- traordinary piano cost me but one dullar.’’ } * Divil a bit of ase// is it,’’ exclaimed the Rooster, laughing; “Tintend placing it in an auction store, where's it's accustomed to be, and let it stay there until they pay me at least # dollar to remove it; then it goes into my celler, for it’s Saar ood toss iny wife has been wanting for many a day. So good luck to teada.”-Baltomore Dispatch. Where Dors Woon Come Frox?—If ve were to take up a handful of svil and examine it under the microscope, we should probably find it to contain a number of fragments of wood, small broken pieces of the branches, or leaves, or other parts of the tree. If we could examine itchemically, we should find yet more strikingly that it was nearly the same as wood in ite com- position. Perhaps, then, it may be said, the Young plant obtains its wood from the earth in which it grows? The following experiment will show whether | this conjecture is likely to be correct or not. Two hundred pounds of earth were dried in an oven, and afterwards put into a 1: earthen vessel; the earth was then moistened with rain- was planted therein. During the space of five yoars, the earth was carefully watered with ateror pure water. The willow grew and flourished, and, to prevent the earth being mixed with fresh earth, or dirt being blown upon itby the winds, it was covered with a metal plate full of very minute holes, which would exclude everything but air from getting access to the earth below it. After growing in the earth for five years, the tree was removed, and, on being weighed, was found to have gained one hundred and sixty- four pounds, as it now weighed one hundred and | sixty-nine pounds. And this estimate did not include the weight of the leaves or dead branch- | which in five years fell from the tree. Now Was all this obtained from the earth? It had not sensibly diminished; but. in order to make the exper- | ment conclusive, it was again dried in an over | b and putin the balance. “Astonishing was the resalt—tho earth weighed only two ounces less than it did when the willow was first planted in | it! yet the tree had gained one hundred and sixty-four pounds, anifestly, then, the wood thus gained in this space of time was not obtain- | ed from the earth : we are therefore compelled | to repeat our question, “Where does the wool come from?”’ We are left with only two alternatives; the water with which it was re- freshed. or the nwhich itlived. It can be clearly shown that it was not due to the water; plexing and wonderful conclusion, it was de rived from the air. Can it be? Were those great ocean-spaces of woot, which are as old as inan’s introduction into Eden, and wave in their vast but solitary South America, were these all obtained from the thin air? Were the particles which unite t form our battle-ships, Old England's walls ot wood, ever borne the world about, not only on wings of air, but actually as air theiselves? Was the firm table on which I write, the chair on which I rest, the solid floor on which I tread, and much of the house in which I dwell, once in a form which I could noé as much as lay my | finger on, or grasp inmy hand? Wonderful | truth! all this was air—Life of a Tree. | {[7 Additional information received from the Nocthern counties of Michigan fully con‘irms the evions accounts of destitution existing there. ‘ont. ibations for the relief of the sufferers, both fom Detroit and the interior of the State, are be- ty freely recelved aad forwardetl by the Execu- | Pp © the recent meeting ASHINGTON, D.
