THE HUNTERS PERIL.

In the early settlement of the north
western frontier of Pennsylvania, and
among the many dangers Of the pioneers
life, and which the settlers had to guard
against the most, were wild beasts of prey
Tha bears not only destroyed their grain,
but bore off their lambs and pigs. More
than one man fell beneath the sharp fangs
ofthe hungry panther. The settlers were
generally hunters, and in the season, OBJ
tanned the choicest yenison for food. Il
'was bright, clear morning in autumn,
when David Moore set forth, with his
trusty rife, to make observations along
the banks of the Susquehanpa, for deer
licks, and gain q knowledge Of their runs;
SO. when the deer came to drink, he
could easily kill them. Moore was a
stout, burly man, athletic as an Indian
His features were mild and noble in ex.
preston. In years he was not more than
thirty-6ye.s With the rife he was an ex-
cellent shot, and an expert hunter, we'll
versed in woodcraft
After making all the observations need.
ed, and the sun was fast sinking, he pre-
pared to return home. He had travelled
"a few miles in homeward direction,
when the shadows of night were fitting
afOdbe and, at distance, things could
not beEdistinctly Seen, In his course he
came to where panther hadscrossed, and
the tracks were plainly visible Hunter
like he broke down some boughs, so he
would know the place again if he wished
to return p the morning. He had not

gone more than thirty rods when another
track crossed his path; he likewise broke
down some more brush He had not
gone far when another crossed his path,
aud stopping, he considered:
This means something, and old Dave
won't be fooled by a plagy painter. I'll
tend to his case in short time
lie then, with measured steps, walked
on. Again aud again the panther track
crossed his path. lie stopped, and look
ed around; night was at last drawing on
and everything wore glootny hue. The
hunter mused awhile, and half aloud
said
The scamp, he thought to circumycnt
me; I'll show him a trick worth Il shilling.
! Dave Moore will fix him. But I'll wait
and see him cum round Na. there he
! goes"
Sure enough the panther was distinctly
seen by the hunter. The panther had
circled around the hunter, at each circle
approaching his victim. When near
enough he would spring upon his prey
and tear him to the earth, and leave his
victims bones to bleach beneath some for
est tree. But the willy hunter detected
his cncmy, and formed his plans accord
ingly.
The hunter pressed on, as though moth
ing was at stake. The panther fell to
the rear OF the hunter, and noiscIessly fol-
lowed on. Some thirty rods were passed
over in this manner, and the panther gain
ing on Moore at every rod. Moore
kept his eye on the 'varmint," as be
termed it.
AS Moore sprang over the body of a
fallen tree, which laid some three feet from
the ground, lie instantly turned and
brought his rife to his shoulder The
panther, with glaring eyes. sprang with
his fore-feet upon the log, and as he gath
cred for spring, the ball from Moores
rife entered his brain. Without move
ment he sank behind the fallen tree The
excitement of the moment SO worked upon
Moore's nerves that he was unable to load
his rife, but walked around like one era
zed, so great was his bewiderment.-
Some fifteen minutes elapsed before he
could load his piece, and look to the slain
panther, not knowing whether be was dead
or not. He soon stripped the hide from
the panther's sides, and rolling it up
slung it across his shoulder, and then set
out for home, which he reached in less
! than an hour
In the morning he exhibited the skin
to the neighbors, and related TO them his
story, which was received with astoniSh-
ment and applause. In after years David
Moore went by the sobriquet of "Dayie,
the Painter Hunter"

CONCERNING KISSES.

The kiss" says an ancient woman
hatcr, sis the aurora of love, but the sun-
set Of chastity"
After the first kiss there follows a Sec
ond, then third, and SO upward on the
many rugged ladder of love to the ultima
thule. One Kiss is very little, and yet very
much. 1t is the wordless interpreter of
two hearts, which by this one breath tell
each other more than by myriads of words.
The kiss is the high priest which initiates
the heart into the Elusnian mystel les of
lore.
The ancients counted three kinds of
kisses:
Bosia, that between friends and rcla-
tives.
Osculo, the kiss of veneration.
Suaria, the kiss proper--that between
lovers.
The monks of middle ages--great theo-
rists-divided the kiss into fifteen distinct
and separate orders:
|. The decorous or modest kiss.
2. The diplomatic, or kiss of policy.
d. HO opy ms hioo, w ooSSitui IL q
woman had drank wine.
A. The slave kiss.
5. The kiss infamous-a church pen
ance.
6. The slipper kiss, practiced towards
tyrants.
I. The judicial kiss.
s. The feudal kiss.
g. The religious kiss, (kissing the cross.
TO- The academical kiss, Con joining a
solemn brotherhood.)
IL. The hand kiss.
IL. The Judas kiss.
l3. The medical kiss-for the purpose
of healing some sickness.
| IA. The kiss of etiquette.
Is. The kiss of love-the only rea
kiss. But this was also to be variously
considered, viz:-given by ardent enthu
siasm, as by lovers; by matrimonial affec
ton; or, lastly, between two men-ar
awful kiss, tasting like sandwiches without
butter or meat.

And we1l never sue to you, but you shall sue

With the noise of this great contest the world

And whoever we may roll against to powder

From the Missouri River to California State.

Tha grass is jus. as green, Iohn,

Iha grass is just as green, Iohn,
Baro-footed Boys at play,
Were sporting just as VIC did then.
With spirit just as gay;
But the Master" sleeps upon the hill,
Which, coated DER with snow,
Afforded MS a sliding place, rs.-
Just twenty years ago.
The old school. house is shattered some,
The benches are replaced
BY new ones very like the same ..
Our pen knives had defaced;
But the same old brick are in the wall,
The bell swings TO and fro,
It's musie's just the same dear John,
Twas twenty years ago.
The boys were playing the same old game,
Beneath the same old tree;
do forget the name just now
You've played the same with me. -
On thesanie spot; twas played with knives,
BY throwing SO and SO,
And we declared that it was sport,
Some twenty years ago. .ra-
The rivers running just as still, ..--.
The willows on its side,
Are larger than they were, dear john,
The stream appears less wide;
The grape vine, swing is ruined now, .
Where once We played the beau, t e.
And swung our sweet hearts, "pretty girls"
Just twenty years ago. ---....
The spring that dubbed meath the hill,
Beside the spreading beach, 4....
Twas once so high, but now SO low
That could hardly reach; .ff
And kneeling down to get drink,
Dear John, I started so,
To see how much that had changed
Since twenty years ago.
Ny lids have long been dry; John,
But tears came to my eyes: .s. e..
Thought Of those We loved so well;
Those early broken ties, .-..
visited the church yard, John,
And took some flowers to throw
Upon the graves of those who died,
Some twenty years ago. -.-.
Some are in the, church yard laid,
Some sleep beneath the sea, -....s .....
But few are left of our old class, ,r s
Excepting you and me;
And when our time is come, dear John,
And we are called to go, .a....= -.
! hope they'll lay Us where We played
Just twenty years ago
