Escape from Savages.
A REMARKABLE NARRATIVE.

> MA-William Baily, formerly ofLynnvie,
Ogle county. in this State, called upon us
and related the following thrilling and re-
markable narrative. From his description
of the places and things he saw, we are per-
fectly satisfied that his statement is correct
in every respect. A gentleman of this city,
who has travelled over the country he des.
cribes, assured us that no person who had
not visited these places, and witnessed what
he describes, could ever have related what
he related He conversed in several Indian
languages, aud appears to have paid close
attention 20 what he saw passing around
him during his sojourn among the savages
lie looked well and hearty, and with the ex-
ception of his hands being torn by some
wounds from tomahawk, he seems to have
suffered no damage. He left on the cars
last evening for Logan county, where his
mother resides
Mr.. Baily left here some eighteen months
ago with party of nine persons to engage
in driving teams from the gulf of Mexico to
the Rio Grande They landed at Indianola
and hired to man by the name Of Ross to
drive teams for him. They drove TO Neu.

Thy Brother.


Though poor, ragged and degraded, the
outcast Is thy brother still. Why sbun and
desPise hIma In years past, kind admoni-
ton. pleasant word might have saved
HIM. Yet you refused to counsel him and
passed by him scornfully. Now he is but.a
wreck of his former SELF His ambition i
destroyed, his energy is lost, and his heart
IS stepped in vice. There wcs time i, may
be, when his eye was placed on virtue and
his feet were turned from des;ructiop.--
That moment look from you decided his
fate.
That lip of scorn was curled-contemnt
was expressed, and away he urged his steps
to ruin. 1t is pleasant refiection-"I
might have saved soul from vice and infa
my, but refused"
Yet You who have been remiss in dutv
who have not cared when a brother erred
and perished, awake to new life. and be not
slack in the performance of duty. It Is not
too late, scores may yet be saved by your
Judlclous efforts-your counsel-your affec.
tonate hearts and open hands. A kiss is
better than blow-a tear more efIectual
than kIss-an open hand far preferable to

a BAPTISM lScIDENT.--Tho Baltimore
Patriot states that a lady residing in the
western part Of the city, formerly commu-
meant of the Episcopal Church, having late
ly been converted 10 the Baptist faith, under
the ministration Of Rev. Dir. Williams. of
the First Baptist Church of that city, was
on Sunday evening immersed in the pres.
ence of large congregation. This lady
had been afflicted for number of years
with the rheumatism, so much that she was
unable to walk without assistance. After
her immersion she came up out of the wa
ter relieved from her afiiiction, and was
enabled to proceed TO her home without the
help she formerly required. This wonder
fnl cure was made the subject Of some very
feeling remarks by the pastor Of the church,
who attributed 1t to the agency of the Di-
vine Spirit.

CoURTsHlP OF BAsHFUL CLERGYMAN.
The Rev. John Brown, the well.known au-
thor of the self interpreting Bible, was a
man of, singular bashfuness. In token of
the truth of this statement, we need onlv
state that his courtship lasted seven years.
Six years and a half passed away, and the
Reverend gentleman had got no further for
ward than he had been the first six days.
This state of things became intoerable a
step in advance must be made, and Mr..
Brown summoned all his courage for the
deed. Janet" said he, Us they sat one
night in solemn silence, "we'ye been ac-
quainted now for six years and mair and
have ne'r gotten a kiss yet dye think
might take one ma bonnie grl?" "Just as
you like, John, only be becoming and proper
wi it ~" Surely, Janet, we'll ask bless
ing" The blessing was asked--the kiss
was taken, and the worthy divine, perfectly
overpowered with the blissfu sensation,
most rapturously exclaimed-"O woman
But ii is guid-we'lI return thanks" Six
months made the pious couple man and
wife, and, added his descendant, who hu-
morously tells the story, happier couple
never spent long and useful life together.

A Pet Lion in Prison.

Gerard, the celebrated hon hunter of AL
giers, relates the following anecdote, of a pet
lion. named Hubert, which he caught when
cub, and raised till he was sent to the
public gardcns-menageria in Paris:
Hubert was placed in the Jardin des
Plants, where, some time afterwards, Gerard
went to see him.
He was lying half asleep, gazing with In
difference on all she visitors, when he sud-
denly raised his head, his eyes dilated, a
nervous twitching of the muscles of his face
and the agitation of his tail showed that the
sight Of the well known uniform had reused
him. He had recognized the uniform, but
had not yet identified his old master. His
eyes vaguely interrogated this vaguely re-
membered form. Gerard thrust his hand
into the cage. 1t was a touching moment
which followed. Without taking his eyes
from Gerard, he applied his nose to the out
stretched hand, and began to breathe deep
ly; with every breath his eve became more
aifectionate, and when Gerard said to him,
We'll, Hubert, my cid soldier" he made a
terrible bound against the bars of his prison,
which trenibled beneath his weight. My
friends alarmed, sprung back, and called on
me to do the same. Noble beast thou art

WRITING FOR NEwsrApERs.-Th col
umns Of newspaper present to the well
qualified writer, one Of the finest fields fo,
useiuiness-a ieid to enter which, should
be a matter of intense desire. To write vel
for newspaper, however, is no easy task
But very few can do it. 1t requires knowI-
edge, Judgment, taste and practice. The
American Presbyterian speaks thu on the
subject:
AS a:general rule, short pieces are best
liked. A gentleman in bank once told us
when we asked him to subscribe for "A Ger.
