combat It consisted of but six men and ono
woman; that woman was Of herself host--a
Mrs. Pursley. When she saw Higgins con-
tending, sngle-handed, with a whole tribe Of
savages, she urged the rangers to attempt his
resue. The rangers objected, as the Indians
were ten to one. Mrs Pursely, therefore,
snatched rifle from her husbands hand, and
declaring that so fine fellow as Tom Higgins
should not be lost for want of help mounted
horse, and sailed forth TO his rescue. The
men, unwilling to be outdone by woman, fol-
lowed at full gallop-reached the spot where
Higgins tainted and fell, before the Indians
came up; and when the savage with whom lie
had been engaged was looking for his rife, his
friends lifted the wounded ranger up, and throw
ing him across horse before one OF the party,
reached the fort in safety.
"lIiggins was nsensble for several days;
and his life was preserved only by continual
care. His friends extracted two Of the balls
from his thigh two, however, yet remained
one of which gave him great deal of pain
Hearing aterw ard that physician had settled
within days ride of him, he determined to 60
and see him. The physician (whose name is
spared) asked him $50 for the operation This
Higgins fatty refused, saying it was more than
a half years pension. On reaching home, he
found the exercise of riding had made the ball
dlsccrnabe; he requested his wife, therefore,
to hand him his razor. With her assistance he
deliberately laid open his thigh until the edge
Of the razor touched the bullet then inserting
bis two thumbs into the cash, 'he flrted it out
as he used to say, without costing him a cent
The other ball yet remained; it gave him,
however, but little pain, and he carried it with
him to his grave.
Higgins died in Fayette county, Illinois, a
few years since. lie was the most perfect
specimen OF frontier man in his day, and was
once door-keeper of the House of Representa-
tives in Illinois,

was about one foot in diameter aud nearly two
feet long. 1t looked like an old stump taken up
by the roots; the roots and the stump were solid
admixture of iron particles; the circles to
growths of the tree were visible, and in all its
parts it clearly showed that it had been stump
and had become petrited. We were informed
that it had been brought down the Missouri ri

wish | was mice, Sam,
And do just as please
To live in peace with all the world.
And nbble at the cheese;
Cause mice is such happy race
They haint no cares at all ;
They always make themselves at home,
In kitchen, or in hall
They never have no debts TO pay,
Nor get no clothes to wear,
Since Nature has provided them
With slkcn coats of hair;
And they don't wear no trowsaloons,
Nor stockings TO their feet,
They don't want nothing, Sam, while they
Can get enough to eat
If | should be mice, though,
| wouldn't want no cats,
Unless they'd always pass me by,
And pounce upon the rats.
For rats amt of no use at all
They don't know beans from bran;
They're Just about as foolish as
That stupid creature--Nan.
] wish was a mice, Sam,
And let you print your paper;
Id just lay on and eat the paste,
Or frolic, irisk and caper;
And you would have to tug and toll
in trouble, care and sorrow,
While is happy mice, to-day,
And happier still tomorrow.

ADVICE TO THE LADiES-A neighbor, who
has always managed to keep the most faithful
and obiging servants, till death or ma'rimony
has dissolved the conncxon, desires us 10 pub
lsh the following
Captain Sabresash, in his lately published
work. "The Art of Conversations" gives the fol.
lowing good advice to ladies': My fair friends,
ncrer scold servants. Instruct, rcprove, ad-
morish, as may be necessary give warning
or, If need be, turn the worthless out of the
house, but never descend to scolding, or to the
use Of rude or harsh language for there is, in
truth, something very undgntied in the prac-
tice
There arc, no doubt, plenty OF bad servants,
but there are more bad masters and mstresscs
in proportion, and for this very evident reason,
that it is the object and interest OF servants to
please their masters; whereas the latter are in
dependent of the former, and need take no
tronblc about the matter and as there is effort
on one side and none on the other, the result
Will naturally be on the side OF those who
make at least fair attempt. Besides, bad

wants cannot we'll influence the conduct of the
masters.
lfpcoplc could only see the undignifcd figure
they make when in towering rage, the
chances are tha, they would contrive to keep
their temper rather within bounds. We may
excuse anger, and even passion, perhaps, where
the name, fame or character of friends and re.
lativcs is assailed but to fly into fury about
broken plates or ovcrdone mutton, is to show
want of mental composure that few would like
to have described in lis proper name.
Recolcct that servants are made Of the same
clay, that they may possess Jeetings-kind,
generous, just feelings too-as pcU as their
superiors and is it not casting stain upon
ourselves to rail, with ignobe language, at
those who are made in the same high image of
which it is our boast on earth TO bear the faint
est impress
Let us hear no more of scolding servants,
therefore fyou will scold, scold your hus-
band and if he is a sensible man, he will pat
your cheek, give you kiss, and laugh at you
lor your pains Cincinnati Atlas.
