An M, P's Adventure on the Plains An
Exciting Chase,

Hon Thomas Cavo, NJ. r., for Barnsta-
pie, Is now in the city, having just returned
from visit TO the Union Pacific Railroad,
some hundreds of miles vest of Omaha.
The special train stopped at Julcsburg for
the night, which, until quito recently, was
q considerable distance from Nowhere.
While there, Colonel Carling, commandant
Of the post, .cndered to Mr., Cavo tho hospi-
talitica of his camp, and an invitation for
an antelope hunt on tho prarics. At 8
O'Clock the next morning, with the Instinct
of true English gentleman, than whom
there 10 no better representative, the invita-
ton was at once accepted, aid with Colo-
mol CARING, his orderly, and two scouts,
the membtr Of Parliament was accompani-
cd 10 the field. They were not long III
finding antelope in considerable numbers,
and excellcn. sport was had. After few
hours amongst these antclercd beauties, =
brace of wolves appeared upon the & ~,
and MIR G. beng finely mounted, decided
TO make dash aftor them, and, after an
exciting chase of Two miles, came up with
the cayota. For the first time, however, ho
found that he had left his rife with his
attendants, and turned to call them TO him
to procure il, when he was notified that q
band Of hostile Indians were manGuvering
to cut him off from his party. This was
evidently no time to tarry for the brush Of
wv mo'l NHlCu nlu Deeu run QOWn ana CSs

Mr.. Cave therefore reluctantly gavc up
tho chase, AID putting spurs to his horse,
soon regaincd his companions, with their
firearms, when new difficulty bcscs them,
The right scout dashed up with Shc not
very cheering intelligence that another band
Of the "gcntlcmen without hats" were ap-
proaching from an opposite direction, and
the other scout came up with similar re-
port from tho left. ~ council Of war was aC
cnce called, and The party dsmonntel far a
stand up fight. Being armed with the
Henry repeating rifle, they would doubtless
havo rendered good account of themselves
had not the Indians deemed discretion the
better part of valor, and concluded they
could see just as well little farther off.
The party accord dinghy returned safe to
camp, Mr.. G. with the reflection that if he

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF The sons Of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep
And the balm that drops on his slurnbers deep,
Bring sleeping draughts 20 the dovny bed,
Where luxury pillows his aching head;
His simple opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land Of dreama-
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realms Of book can find
A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good Of yore,
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories Of empire passed away;
The worlds great drama viii thus enfod,
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home.
Where all the freside charities come;
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother. or sister, or wife
However humble the home may be-
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree.
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
And center there, are better than gold.
