now seized upon some pieces of old wood
whlch lay about, and placed as much as was
equal to his own bulk, exactly where he slept,
and covered it all over with leaves in the
same manner the panther had done, and then
sprang to tree near by, into which he as
| ccndcd, from whence he had n view a good
distance about him, and especially in the di.
rcctlon the creature had gone. Here in tho
crotch OF the tree he stood, with his gun rest.
ing across limb,ln the direction of the place
where ne had been left by the planthcr, look.
ing sharply as far among the woods as pos
sible, in the direction he expected the crea-
lures return. But he had remained in this
position but short time, and had barely
thrust the ramrod down the barrel of his piece
to be sure the charge was in, and to examine
his printing, and shut down the pan slowy,
so that it should not snap, and thu, make q
noise, when his keen Indian eye, for such
he had, caught glimpse of "a monstrous
panther leading warily, two panther kittens
towards her intended supper.
Now matters were fastening to climax
rapidly, when Wheaton or the panther should
finish their hunting on the mountains of the
Susquehanna for if old smooth bore should
would be cast, as a second load would be-
impossible ere her claws would have sundered
his heart strings in the tree where he was: or
if he should but partially wound her, tile same
must have been his fate. During these
thoughts the panther had hid her young under
some brush, and had come within some thirty
feet of the spot and seeing all as she left it
dropped down to crouchng position, pre-
cisely as a cat when about to spring upon its
prey. Now the horrd rustling of her hinder
claws drawn under its belly was heard, and
the bent ham strings were seen but half an
instant by Wheaton from where he sat, when
the tremendous leap was made. 1t rose on
la long curve into the air of about ten feet in
the highest place, and from thence descend
ing, it struck exactly where the breast and
bowels ofits prey had lain, with scream too
horrible for descri ption, when it tore to atoms
the rotton wood, filled the air for several feet
above it with leaves and light brush, the COW
ering of their deception.--But instantly the
panther found herself cheated, and seemed
to droop little with disappointment ; when
however, it resumed its erect posture, and
surveyed quite around on every side on a
horizontal line, in search of its prey, but not
discovering it, she cast furious look lott
among the tops of the trees, when in mo-
ment or two the eyes Of Wheaton and tho
lpanthcr had met
Now for another leap, when she dropped
for that purpose, but thhe bullet was of, and
two back shot of old smooth bore were too
quick, as she lodged them exactly in the brain
of the savage monster, and dropped her
dead on the spot where the hunter had slept
but ashort time before, in the soundness of a
mountain dream.

HOW TO ACT WHEN TEMPTED.

The case of backsliders has lately been
much impressed upon my mind. Great num-
bers, am persuaded, among protesting Chris
tians, come under this denomination. At pres
ent shall only offer three or four directions to
the consideration Of any whose case they may
suit.
Every means should be used to stop the avcn-
ues OF temptation, or prevent its coming in con-
tact with the evil propensities of the heart
If there be nitre in our habitations, it becomes
us to beware Of fire. Such was the counsel o.
our Lord to his disciples, in season of peculiar
danger. swatch and pray, that We enter not
inev temptation lie Trad i,,,,-vH .,.,torod eliot
field, and came out conquerer; but he knew
what was in man, and counselled them rather to
avoid than court the contest.-ln cases where
the heart begins to be seduced by temptation,
it will soon become restless, soictous, and inn
por, innate ; it will moan after it, and be exceed
ingly fruitful in devices to get into the way of
| it. 1t will persuade conscience, for once, at
| least to be silent; it will blind the mind to the
evil, and paint the dcsireablencss of the good
and if all this will not Go, it will promise to be
only locker ON, or that thus far it will 90, ant
no tarther.-But if thou hast any regard TO Goo
or his cause, or to the welfare of thine OWE
soul, consent thou not" Temptation leads t.
sin, and sin to death. Whatever company, a
musement, occupation, or correction has fire.

DcsetcriOus qualities Of Saltpctrc
Liquor.
Springfcid. June 5,


To the Editor of the New England Farmer
1t often said that "bought wit is best If
not bought too DEAR but lest some Of your
subscribers should pay as dear as have for
knowledge, beg leave to communicate the
following fact for their benefit. | do not
know but it may be known to some Of your
readers that the liquor in which saltpetred
meat is boiled will kill hogs, if taken in con-
siderable quantities /; but have commune
Gated the fact to some to whom it was new.
One of my neighbors engaged to provide
dinner for large company on the last Fourth
ofJuly. AS he had no convenient place in
his own kitchen to boil large quantity Of
meat, he requested the privilege of using
large boiler of ours, which is commonly used
for Washing. The amount boiled was about
$50 pounds, consisting of bacon and beef
cured with saltpetre. He removed all the
grease WEIGH rose on the top and left the IL
quor in the boiler, which was thrown into the
swill barrel and given to six hogs weighing
about $50 lbs. each. The next morning
was informed that the hogs were sick. The
four largest, who probably took most of the
liquor, were in dreadful spasms and one died
before any remedies could be used. l i'm
mcdiately sent for man acquainted with
diseases in animals, who asked as soon as he
saw them if they had taken liquor in which
saltpctred meat was boiled. lie resorted to
the usual methods of cure in such cases, but
it was too late to save two of the largest which
remained. One wasa SOW far advanced with
young, who would probably have recovered
had it not been for her peculiar situation
The violent remedies rcsorted to relieved her
of the spasmodic affections, but brought on
an abortion of which she died. The three
Dogs were worth at least S25, which was the
price paid for my knowledge.
One reason why injury does not often fol-
low the use of such liquor as is strongly I'M
pregnated with saltpetrc is, that in families
the amount taken is not ordinarily enough TO
produce spasms, which are occasioned by
stoppagc Of the bowels: but | am told it is
extremely dangerous to give such liquor to
small pigs, even in the smallest quantity
The remedies resored to in such diseases
are, cutting open the flesh of the neck bet
wecn the shoulders to the depth of more than
an inch, and applying fine salt, large doses
of castor oil, Of gin, and thoroughwort tea,
as strong as 1t can DO mado- Bat tan onn"r
of preventive is better than pound OF cure,
and therefore those persons who have board
ng establishments in which large quantities
of saltpetred meat are used, will do we'll to
be cautious in the use of the liquor.
