The FerOcity of the Tiger.

A recent work on "The Wild Sports of
India" contains the following graphic story:
Il had scarcely been asleep an hour be-
fore was awoke by a shout from the duff
adar, that one of the troopers had been car
ried off by tiger. ] lcaped out of bed,
and seizing the large single two-ounce reile,
kept loaded with powder only for the pur.
pose fired it off in the air. II was pitch
dark not q bit of fire in the camp, save
one or two embers near the spot where the
trooper was seized, and over which the IT,
gress had sprung on her victim. ] got my
clothes on as rapidly as possible, buckled
on my sword, and seized one of my rifles
my younger shikaree, Nursoo,took the other.
My khidmutgar, or table servant, a man by
name Fakir Ahmed, got my candestick
and shade; and the villagers, number of
whom had remained in the village, rushed
down with torches into the c2mp. Ny
shidaree Mangalee could not at first be
found. The dufiadar told me in which d.
rection the tigress had gone. He had been
standing within five PAGES of the man in
fact, he was seeing the sentry changed.
The poor fellow who was seized was putting
on his belt to go on duty. There was dry
ravine, without any Jungle in il which ran
up 10 the camy. The tigress had stolen up
that, and sprung on the mans chest sei1ing
him by the mouth, and so systematically
closing it that the poor fellow could never
reply to his name. ] shouted ii-Gholam
Hoossain Khan-till was hoarse. Spring
ing into the ravinc, followed il up rapidly,
thinking that the only chance of recovering
the man was to get up to the foot of the
mountain, some FIVE hundred yards distant.

A Thrilling Story.

The following is an occurrence which
actually took place in Vermont some forty
years ago. The facts are almost literally
as follows:
My brother Heman liked the business of
carrying the mail better than l did; and so
/ went to work in new clearing | had
commenced about mile and half from
home, and not quite SO far from my broth
er-in-law. used to stay as often at one
place as at the other. 1t was a bad ar
rangement, as, in case of accident, neither
family would be alarmed or go to look for
me, if should not come home. / felt the
force of this in the course of the winter as
you will see directly.
There had fallen one of our old-fashion-
ed northern New York SHOWS, crusted over
hard enough TO bear man. was getting
on famously with my clearing, getting ready
to build house in the Spring. | was am-
bilious and worked early and late, going
without dinner some days, when the bread
and meat l had brought in my pocket was
frozen so hard that l could not masticate Il
without taking up too much of my time.
One day it was intensely cold, with the
prospect of storm that might hinder my
work the next day, and so worked on as
long as l could see, and after twilight l
felled tree, which, in its descent, lodged
against another. l could not bear the idea
of leaving the job half finished; / mount
ed the almost PROSTATE body to cut limb
to let il down.
The bole of the tree forked, about forty
feet up. into two equal parts, with large
projecting limbs from both. 1t was one OF
these / had to cut away to bring the tree
to the ground. In my haste perhaps was
not so careful as / should have been; at
any rate the first blow eased the lodgment,
so that the tree began 10 settle, and was
just going to jump off, when the fork split,
and as it did so one foot dropped into the
space so that ] could not extricate it for
the moment, but | felt no alarm, for i knew /
that / could cut away the tree in q minute,
or perhaps draw my foot out Of the boot,
as the pressure was not severe. At the /
first blow Of the axe the tree took another /
start, rolled over, and the split closed with |
all the force of its giant strength, crushing /
my foot till the very bones were faitened,
and there l hung suspended, just able to
touch the tips of my fingers to the snow,
with nothing to rest upon for moment
the air at zero and growing colder-the /
nearest house mile away, no friends to
feel alarmed at my absence, for one would !

The Gipsies.

The strongest evidence of their Hirdoo
origin is found in the great resemblance
their own language bears to the Hindo-
stance, Grellman, ditiuguished student of
languages, states that twelve words Of every
thirty in their vocabulary are either pure
Hindostanee or intimately related 10 it
This language they call gibberish, and
believe it to have been invented by their
forefarthers for secret purposes. 1t is
not peculiar TO one, or a few Of their tribes,
but common to all in Europe and Asia.
Bishop Heber records in his journal an
account of an encampment of wretched
tents Of mats with baskets, ponies, goats,
etc, so like gipsies he had seen in England,
that, on asking who they were, he was not
surprised to hear his guide give them that
very name.
A well-known nobleman Of England,
who had resided many years in India, tax
ing shelter under tree during storm,
near camp Of gipsies, was surprised to
hear them use several words which he well
knew to be Hindostanee, and going up to
them be found them able TO converse with
him in that language
A returned Missionary met a giPsy at the
house of Father Crabb, the gipsy's friend

BY living blindly subject to the forces of
nature that are constantly operating upon
us to the detriment of our health, we should
be living as the Indians do, and should be
failing to do the duties Of our position as
an enlightened portion of the Christian
world, There is one disease alone, the
scourge Of Vermont, carrying of annually
large and most interesting portion of her
population, which it would be interesting to
know the history Of in connexion with
regular, careful series of meteorological
observations. We need hardly say that
we allpde TO the scarlatina. How many
parents heart has been wrung by this in
sidious disease as it hurries off the promis-
ing blossoms of their hopes to untimely
graves; and still probably nothing more is
known of its character than there was fifty
years ago. Not record has been kept to
show what kind Of seasons prevailed,
wheter wet or dry, warm or cold, regular
or changeable, in which this disease has
ragged the most! The old Academy in the
middle of the town now dates back more
than half century since its establishment,
and what an interesting and valuable series
of observations upon the weather might it
not have been able to furnish US during
that time like light, throwing its illu-
minating influence back into the dusky past
and far into the future But as it is, the
old institution is all silent in this respect,
and we have no more knowledge of the
true climate of Vermont now than we ever
had
To remedy this evil, and to place Ver-
mont among the foremost communities in
the developement of meteorological science,
a position for which her admirable organi-
cation, social, political and educational, fit
her in a remarkable degree, very little
legislative attention only would be necessa-
ry. An appropriation from the State of
some fifty or sixty dollars for the purchase
of meteorological instruments for each Of
the fourteen counties of which the State is
composed, would probably be all that is
needed to set the machinery going and se-
cure its regular operation. For there is
undoubtedly some one school, academy or
college in each county that would gladly
undertake a series of observations provided
they were furnished with the proper instru-
ments, forms and instructions. These lat
ter could doubtless be had, at first, from the
Smithsonian Institution; and subsequently
they could be procured through the Secre-
tary of the Board of Education. One copy
of the observations sent annually, say to
the State Librarian at Montpelier for pre-
servation, and another kept at the place of
observation, would be all that is necessary
to bring the State within the scope a regu-
lar system of recorded Meteorological
science and place her on level in this re-
spect with New York and the other most
advanced States of the Union. J.w.P.

GROWING OLD.-It seems but sum-
mer since we looked forward with egar
hopes to the commiog years. And now
we are looking sadly back. Not that the
dream has passed, but that it has been no
more worth to those around us. As the
glowing hopes and ambitions of early life
pass away-as friend after friend departs,
and the stronger ties which hold us here
are broken-our life seems but bubble,
glancing for moment in light, and then
broken, and not ripple left on the stream,
Forty years once seemed long, weary pill
grimage TO tread. IL now seems but step.
And yet along the way are broken shrincs
where a thousand hopes have wasted into
ashes; footprints sacred under their drift
ing of dust; green mounds whose grass is
fresh with the watering of tears shadows
even, that we would not forget We will
garner the sunshine Of those years, and
with chsstened steps and hopes, push on to-
wards the evening whose signal lights viii
soon be seen swinging where the waters
are still, and the storms never beat.
