entered the path with a yoke of oxen. The
| father saw his son approaching h'm-afer
| giving his attention to hts work for awhile,
| he looked back ngain-the path was filled
with slide of snow. and neither oxen nor
boy were visible. Win speedy and snx
,ous labor, they opened the place where
they we're last seen. but nothing was to be
found. The distressed father now nbou,
Fastening away 20 obtain the assistance OF
his neighbours, saw, some rods from the
path, q motion for a moment ia the snow
They commenced digging and soon found
the head Of one o! the oxen. Life was ex
tinct in both the oxen it was probably
the last convulsive throe that indicated or
the outer surface where they were. The
boy was found with his legs across The neck
of one Of the oxen, exhibiting scarcely any

began TO revive, and was received by hi

Supposed TO be the same body as attacked

being able to brlng them to battle. They
were followed and charged upon repeat
cdiy in the hammocks; but tie neture OF
the ground is such (being all deep marsh
except the hamnocks, or clumps and thick
cts OF trees and undergrowth) that it was
impossible to prevent their escape. Some
Indias,n however. were killed, and a few
of the troops were killed ant wounded -
The General was about again to take the
field from Tampa Bay. and TO send detnch-
ments 10 Charlotte Hatbor, and othe'

For a time all went on well. AT length a

silk, and pointin: /, out TO the lady, sad
MADAM, deem it my duty to tell you that
there is a fracture in the silk"
Ofcoursc she did not take it.
The merchant overheard the remark,
and Immediately wrote to the father OF the
vounv man. to come and take him home ;
for" said he, "he ,DiH neuer make mer-

The father who had ever reposed conf
dence in his son, was much grleVed' ana
fastened to the city to be informed OF his
deficiencies. "Why will he not make a
merchan, ?" asked he.
because he has no tact" was the an.
swer. Only n day or two ago. he told
LADY, voluntarily, who was buying silk OF
him. that the goods were damaged. and
lost the bargain. Purchasers must look
out for themselves. Ifthey cannot discov

"And is that all his fault?" asked the
parent.
