none of whom he ever saw before. A rapid
glance at them assured him of each mans
character, and in five minutes he has struck
the right chord upon each mans heart, and
he has gained six votes in FIVE minutes. To
this was owing his triumphant, and to those
who did not know his powers, astounding
success. Knowing him well, and his capac-

considerable depletion of the pockets Of

In 1854 he was again elected by more
than 5000 majority over an able competitor.
He now has his seat secure, and will not

LIFE AMONG THE HILLS.
FEW BEAR, PANTHER, AND WOLF FIGHTS.

A correspondent of the Newark Mercury
recently paid visit to George McMulleu,
an old hunter and pioneer of Wayne county,
Pa, who, pitched bis tabernacle in that will
derness a long time ago. The veteran has
now passed his sixtieth year, and has of
course lost the sprightliness of twenty; nor
can he bring his rifle down to as true an
aim, nor as actively pursue the deer, as when
in the gigor and strength of marhood. Still,
he is both hale and hearty, and "6ghts DER
the battles of his youth, with bear. panther
1and wolf, with infinite gusto The visitor
says:
I took fancy one pleasant winters day
to visit him, having heard of his fame as a
Nimrod. In company with friend, we set
out for his mountain home eleven miles dis
tant. We followed up the valley of the
Lackawaxen for eight miles, and then made
turn to the left, pushing west towards the
Moosic mountain. Did your readers ever
hear of the Lackawaxen? Itis beautiful
stream, pure, and cold from its mountain
springs, which sparkles rs it dashes along
the mountains side, to commingle with the
Delaware Paradise did not contain more
lovely river 1t was full of trout while the
trees of the native forest stood upon its banks,
and before the invention of man had found
out SO many ways to dam its current, and by
means of vile substances cast into it from saw
mills and tanneries, to drive out and destroy
its spotted inhabitants. I knew it when it
flowed in its pristine beauty, and when in
every deep eddy lay the speckled trout, wait
ing to make dash at the fly, and many a
fine one has my own line drawn forth in days
that are past, and great blessing they were
to all who were skillful enough to take them.
tits sufficient to say, for the credit of
those waters, that trout lay there, for this
dainty fish never inhabits any but the pur-
est streams; and nothing can exceed in beau
ty of natural scenery the valley which con-
tains the Lackawaxen. For eighteen miles
up that valley there is gentle ascent, with
high grounds upon either side. On the east,
a range of mighty hills skirt the stream; on
the west, the foot of the Moosic mountain.
Deer, elk, bears, panthers, wolves, and other
wild game, were once in abundance, and
here filed the unbroken forest.
1t was up in a mountain glen, abc'.t four
miles west, that George McMullen took up
his abode He is a man of commanding

HON. PRESTON s. BROOKS.

The notoriety which recent act of this
gentleman has given him, will make it des-
rable to know something of. him. As I have
known him since I was a boy, and have been
one of his constituents and especial friends,
I will give you brief history of his life.
He is the eldest son of Whitfield Brooks,
a prominent citizen of Edgefeld District,
South Carolina, who was candidate for Con-
gress in 1851 against the Hon. A. Burt who
was elected and served until 1852 In 1912,
while he was youth of 10 years of age, in
the South Carolina College, his father was
challenged to fight duel by Louis T. Wig
fall, now of Texas. In consequence of his
age, the father declined the challenge, and
was posted by Col. Wigfall, at Edgefeld C.
House. A young man by the name of Bird,
a nephew of the elder Brooks, tore down the
posting, and was killed by Wigall in the
light that ensued. P. S. Brooks, then 19
years old, as soon as he heard of it, hastened
home and challenged Wigfall. They fought,
and both were dangerously wounded-Wig-
fall having both thighs shot through and one
broken, from which he is lame to this day.
Brooks was shot through at the top of the
thigh, and his spine was grazed, and his life
long considered doubtful.
He is lawyer, but having an easy fortune
he never pursued his profession, but became
a scientific and successful planter.
Iu lS46he raised, in EdgeGeld District,
one of the companies that composed the Pail
metto Regiment, and served as Captain
through the Mexican war. In 1853 va
cancy occurred in his Congressional. District,
by the retirement of Mr.. Burt, and he en-
tered the field as candidate. There were

CAN HELP YOU2

"Can l help you? just say the word,"
There speaks the whole-souled, whole
hearted, MAN-the man whose very shadow
is worth more than the body, soul, and es-
tate, personal and spiritual, Of two-thirds of
the human race bearing that name How
he lifts the desponding spirits Of his broth
er in trouble. All day he has met with cold
eyes, cold smiles, cold words, cold bows, and
colder sympathy. Men fly him because they
have heard that he was unfortunate and
"be villain-a thief-a murderer" says
the world, in action-'"but don't be unfor-
tunate. I'll lend you ten thousand if you
are worth fifty; if you're unfortunate IN
very poor myself-would like to help you.
could have.don SO three days ago, or three
hours ago-but positively havn't got three
cents, nor shan't be in possession of that a.
mount, while-your misfortune lasts. If
your old aunt dies, or your old uncle, or, in
fact, anybody who chooses to leave you q
fortune, why just call upon me I'll manage
to have little loose change on hand"
But look yonder comes broad-shoulder-
ed, frank-browed man, who meets his poor
brother with hearty slap on the shoulder,
and "Can I help you?-just say the word.
Don't be afraid now; what's your trouble !?
Out with it, and if you'd like little cash,
Ejust say so. Don't be doWn-cast---what if
you have failed in your expectations once,
twice, or thrice? Haven't some Of our most
successful merchants done the same thing p
made the same mistakes? ? And where would
they have been if they hadn't found friends !?
Come-the elements of success are in you-
cheer up-what do you want-how much ?"
He don't clap his hand on his pocket with a
styx-like frown, that says as plainly as if he
bawled out in your ear, ono entrance here. !"
He is not one of those dyspeptic, cross-grain-
ed, surly, monicd machines, that squeezcs a
sizpence till it squeals, and reads newspa-
per with greedy, voracious eagcrness, for
fear he shall not get his two cents worth
He lives for something else-that man, than
gain. His passport to heaven is written on
his face, his religion on the hearts of the
downcast and the sorrowing-in the homes
he has made happy by his benevolence. 49,
"Can I help you ?" ~.
Write the words in.golden letters, FOR they
are only heard on rare occasions. The sneer,
the scorn, the doubt, the refusal-they come
with every night-fall and sun-rising. Mig
CARDS grow like mushrooms, but angels are
scarce. Niggards can never look beyond
themselves-their own comfort, their own
convenience; no matter who starves next
door-they scatter curses in discourage
ments, and blight, God only knows, how
many gentle hearts. They never say "Can
I help him." but "he's down let's kick
him..
But the angelic ministry of those helpers
to humanity--men who believe they were
entrusted with power the gods might envy,
that they might be used to some good pur-
pose-what shall we say of them I? how give
them the burning praise they merit? Good,
whole souled, generous man--the angels and
God himself, smiled approval, when with
beaming eyes, and hopeful words, you said
to the dispirited brother, "Can I help you?"

HUMAN MONEY BAGs.-Many a man
there is, clothed in respectability, and proud
of his honor, whose central idea of life is
interest and easc-the conception that other
men are merely tools to be used as will best
serve him ;that God has endowed him with
sinew and brain merely to scramble and get; ;
and 50, in the midst of this grand universe,
which is a perpetual circulation Of benefit,
he lives like sponge on rock, to absorb,
and bloat, and die. Thousands in this great
city are living SO, who never look out of the
narrow circle of self-interest; whose deca-
logue is their aritemhtic; Whose bible is their

and received an order from him upon the
county treasurer.
If General Putnam is accounted brave for
having gone into den with lighted torch
and rope around his body, held by his sur,
rounding friends, what must be said Of
George McMullen, who tracked his game
far away from all human habitations, and
alone entered the VOLTS den, defying all the
powers which thekingdom of wolfdom could
array against him. 7 1t may be said, it ought
to be said-long live brave George McMul-
