ORIGINAL STORY.
Written for THE ALLEGHASIAi
Sporting Adventure.
BY ALFRED JINGLE, ESQUIRE.

/ had come to the deliberate conclusion
that | was, in the true sense of the term,
sportsman, hone of your cockney
articles, however, who, once q year, makes
a trip to the country for the purpose Of
t,:ying to deal ont death and destruction to
the denizens of the forest, be they deer or
chip-muck, wild turkey or blue-bird nei-
ther one of those milk-and-water hunters
who occasionally make an incursion into
the woods to 'shoot squirrels" or "bag
pigeons" and, by chance, returning with
a dozen or so, Immediately lay claim to
the appellation Of sportsman but one,
in the definition of Webster, "sk,illed in
the sports of the field" That was my
opinion.
Certain it is, I could always bring in
nv quota of canvass-backs, pheasants or
squirrels, and in piscatorial efforts was
hardly excelled by famous Old Isaac Wal
ton. But | was yet to learn, as the sequel
will show, some lessons in branch Of
sporting unknown to me, as, perhaps, to
many of my readers.
had, in my country experience, heard
a great deal about the fun attendant on
I" 'coon-hunting," so | concluded to be one
of a party of young 'uns who had deter
mined to flesh their maiden swords in the
art and mystery aforesaid.
1t is presumable everybody knows these
expeditions take place at night, the rem
devious being a corn-feld in the vicinity
of a woods. There is a barbarous method
of slouqhterin9 these little animals, namely,
by closing the means of egress, and then
cutting down the trees in which they
lodge but such system could only be
properly carried into effect by the first
named marauders.
True to the infallible workings of the
laws of Nature, the night of our great ex-
pedition at last arrived All our arrange
ments having been previously made-our
double barrels and rifles put in order, a
liberal supply of eatibles and drinkables
provided, and two dogs pressed into the
seryice-we started The dogs were not
exactly such as skilful hunter would
prefer for the service in view, the Header
being something like cross between a
bulldog and a wolf, having all the obstl-
nacy of the former coupled with the un-
trustworthiness of the latter, his only
redeeming feature being his evident de-
sire to return home, showing him to be
respectable cur not given to the evil of
night-running; while the other, small
spaniel, was decidedly the reverse, being
so unanimously friendly as never to leave
my heels after starting, except when beat
en- off-but, being about the best In the
market, had to answer.
We had been informed that the best
place for the game in question was about
five miles from town, consequently, after
a walk of about an hour and half, we
arrived at the wished-f for locality. Our

his surprise that the inventor OF specta-

found no biographer to celebrate his
deeds. Deeds, however, there are none to
celebrate his very name is doubtful, and
his life blank. His invention is his
history, and a history which merits atten-
ton for the information it conveys; tho
it is now too late to confer honor on the
assemblage of letters which form the words

SCHAMYL-It is said that Schamyl,
abandoned by his people, has been given
up a prisoner of war to the Russians
Such is the gratitude Of the Caucasians.
At the age Of sixty-two, after being for
twenty-five years the victorious chiettai n
of the Caucasus and causing the deaths of
at least half million of Russians, he is at
last surrendered with baseness charac-
teristIc of the Asiatics in the hands of his
lifelong enemies. Schamyl was born in
1877, and nurtured in just those infuen-
ces that were calculated to develope his
extraordinary character. From early youth
he is said to have been conspicuous for
his strength of will and intensity of pur-
pose and determination. His title among
the Caucasians, it will be remembered
was that Of 80 Prophet and Priest" Scham-
VI appears on one occasion to have sworn
fealty to the Emperor of Russia, but he
looked upon the oath as a mere form, con-
sidering that no faith need be kept with
the infidels

Serenading.

In my young days | was extravaeantlv
1ond OF attending parties, and somewhat
celebrated for piayingon the flute. Hence
IL was generally expected that when an
invitation was extended, my flute would
accompany me.
l visited splendid party one evening,
and was called upon to favor the companv
with tune on the flute /. of course
Immediately complied with the reduest.-
The company appeared delighted but
more particularly so, was a young lady,
who raised her hands and exclaimed it
was beautiful, delightful, &c. l, of course,
was highly delighted, and Immediately
formed resolution to serenade the Young
lady on the following night. [ started
the next night in company with several
young friends, and arrived, as l supposed
at the ladys residence, but made glorious
mistake by getting under the window OF
an old Quaker.
''Now, boys" said I, '1behold the senti-
mentality of this young lady, the moment
L strike up the ''Last Rose of Summer"
struck up, but the window remained
closed, and the boys began to smile
ooh" said |, chats nothing; it would
not be in good taste, to raise the window
on the first air"
| next struck up ''Old Robin Gray
Still the window remained closed. The
boys snickered, and | felt somewhat fat
"Once more boys" said [, "and she
must come" | struck up again-"Mv
love is like the Red, red rose" Still
there was no demonstration
Boys" said l, 'she's humbug. Let
US sing 'Home, Sweet Home" and if
that don't bring her, I'll give up"
We struck up, and as we finished the
last line, the window was raised
That's the ticket, boys; L knew we
could fetch her"
But instead of the beautiful young lady,
1t turned out to be the old Quaker, in his
night-cap and dressing-gown
Friend said he, ''thee was singing
Of thy home-and if recollect right, thee
said there was no place like home and if
that is true, why don't thee 90 to thy
home! p! Thee is not wanted here-thee
nor thy company. Farewell"
We, and our bats, went home

INSTINCT OF A CAT-We have a
near neighbor, and that neighbor has a
eat, and that cat has had several litters of
kittens during her day and generation ;
each litter consisting of tripletS. On the
discovery Of each Of these triple feline
progenies, the family in which her cat
ship resided were in the habit of destroy
ing two of them, without leave or license
Puss was, Of course, indignant, and chan
ged her nursery, but to no purpose; her
offspring were found and all but one un-
tremendously despatched. Latterly she
was observed in an unaccustomed place,
nursing a single kit, which it was sup
posed, for the first time, constituted the
whole brood. Thus matter stood for near
three weeks, when it appeared that Mrs
Puss had outwitted all the humans of the
household for, having learned by sad
experience that if discovered with the
usual number, two of them must be sacri-
feed on the altar of domestic economy,
she had early taken the precaution to car
ry off and deposit two of them under an
old out-building, keeping the one and the
two separate and apart, and nursing and
caressing them alternately, day and night,
as she was recollected to have been seen
during all hours OF both, going from one
place to the other, until they had nearly
arrived at the stature of cathood, when
this clever trick of feline strategy was
brought to light. Was this instinct, or
reason?

PERUsING OLD PAPERs.-How depres-
sing is the overlooking of old papers long
locked up, and filed away, written many
years ago, when the world was brighter
and friends more numerous than now, be-
fore misfortune had dimmed the one, or
death had snatched away the other. Nor
are ones spirits made more cheerful,
when some old document or letter trans
ports US backward to season of bereave-
ment or sad mischance. The sunshine of
the present is clouded by these reminis-
cences which produce in all their gloom
the shadows Of former day. But when
it happens, as is most commonly the fac.
that day of darkness is selected for the
melancholy review of past scenes, the SOM
bre skies above US mingle their weeping
with the tears of revived Affections, and
then pail of darkest hue settles upon the
mind Beware of this; let no one unlock
the trunk of old papers, especially such
as concern the heart, except on a cloud
less day-when the sun is shining in his
meridian splender.
