And dreary and chilling, the prospect may seem,
As the cold winter sheds her sad pallid beam,
When gush of the water flow.

But look the streamlet, or bless with Smile,
Its stern icy letters will soon melt away,
And its sparkles reflect exuberant day,
The soft scenery cheering the while.
So, if DER the heart, affections pure
Be chilled by the blasts that around it have blown,
And the surface CONCEALED, ere friendship could save
This nmost recess of the noble and brave
Which long she had claimed as her own;
Yet, when the bright of forgiveness shall rise
And spread Ger the bosom its heavenly glow,
How swiftly before it the ice covering flies,
Reviving endearments illumine the eyes
When affections warm current shall flow.

fears we're well founded. The fog rapidly covered and
obscured the whole of the mountain; the atmosphere

The highest cedar trees were struck down, or bent
like reeds; monkeys and parrots lay strewed upon
the ground killed by the falling branches the water
had collected in the path we had just passed. and hur
ried along it like mountain stream. From every
thing saw, thought it extremely probable that we
should be@obliged to pass some days in the cavern
When the storm, however, had somewhat abated our
guides ventured out in order to ascertain if it were
possible to continue our journey. The wherein
we had refuge, was dark, that if moved few t
PAGES from the entrance, could see an inch be-
fore us and we debating to the propriey of
leaving even before the Indians came back when we
suddenly heard singular grooming growing at the
further end of the cavern, which instantly fixed all
orr attention. Wharton and myself listened anxious
", but daring and nconsiderate young friend Lin
coin, together with my huntsman, crept about upon
their hands and knees and endeavored discover, by
cropping, from whence the sound proceeded. They v
had not advanced far into the before we heard
them utter exclamation of surprise; and they re-
turned to US, each carrying in his animal sin t.
guary marked, and about the size of cat, seeming
ly of great strength and power and furnished with o
immense fangs. The eyes were Of a green color I
strong claws upon their feet and blood red ii
tongue hung out of their mouths. Wharton had
scarcely glanced at them, when he exclaimed in con-
sternatlon 'Good God! we have come INTO the den of
a." He was interrupted by fearful cry of dis o
may from our guides who rushing precpitate- O
ly towards Us, calling out, tiger tiger' and at
the time with extraordinary rapidty, they climb
ed up a cedar tree which stood at the entrance of d
the cave and hid themselves among the branches. c.
After the first sensation of horror and surprise, 81

Wharton had already regained his composrre and @
self possession and he called to assist him in d

immense stone which fortunately lay near it. The D.

animal, and lost beyond redemption if it az

open space, however, left between the top of the en-

head of the animal, illuminated by its glowing eyes, ca

eyes darted light into the darkness of our retreat
| Now is the time to fire at him. said Wharton,
with his usual camness " aim at his eyes; the ball
will go through his brain, and we shall then have
chance to get rid of him.
Frank seized his double barrelled gum and Lincoln
his pistols, the former placed the muzze within few
inches of the tiger, and Lincoln did the same AT
Wlnrton's command, they both drew the triggers at
the same moment, but shot followed. The tiger.

with their claws and the powder had been strewed
over the damp earth, and rendered entirely useless

coin raved and swore; and Frank took piece of
strong cord from his pocket and fastened to the other
end of the cave-l knew not with what design We
soon however, heard low sifed groan and the til
ger, who had heard it aso became more restless and
disturbed than ever. He went backwards and for
wards before the entrance in the most wild and pre-
posterous manner, then stood STILL and stretching out
his neck in the direction of the forest broke forth in
to deafening howl. Our two Indian guides took
advantage of this opportunity to discharge several ar
rows from the tree. He struck more than once,
but the light weapons bounded harmless from the
thick skin. At length, however, one of them struck
him near the eye, and the remained sticking in
