PRESENCE OF MIND.-The herdsman of
farm in North Uist had occasion one day
lately to send his daughter for the cattle
under his charge. There were about eigh-
ty Of them, and among them two bulls, one
OF which was occasionally in the habit of
assauihng people. On the day IN question,
the damsel unwarily approached the bull
too closely, when he Immediately gave
chase. On level field, without dykes,
dogs, or any other place of refuge to resort
to, what would the reader have done-for
TO run home distance of three-quarters of
a mile was out of the question. The girl,
with great presence of mind, ran over to
the other bull-a good-natured animal, and
much stronger than her assailant. Stand
ing close by his side, and kindly tapping
him on the back, she drove him towards
her fathers house, followed by her enraged
enemy, who kept roaring and Tuning all
the way, but when he came too close, her
protector turned round, and, width shake
and toss of his head, kept the assailant at
bay. In this manner the fugitive arrived
safely at home. --InrernesS Scotland Cour-
