WONDERFUL PERSEVERANCE AND ESCAPE OF
Boy.

WONDERFUL PERSEVERANCE AND ESCAPE OF
A Boy.
In January last, says the Leavenworth
Commercial, John Wilson, lad about
sixteen years of age, left his home on
Musquito bottom, in company with his
father and two neighbors, for the pur-
pose Of hunting buffalo on the upper
Arkansas. The weather was all that
could be wished, game was found in
abundance, and the hunters secured as
much as their teams were able to haul
back so long distance, and on the morn
ing of the 10th preparations We're made
for return home.
Not so, however, with young Wilson,
who had become enchanted with the wild
scenes and wilder sports. To him it was
new life, of which he had often read,
but had not till row become living ac-
tor in it's fascinations. To the left OF the
river, and beyond the skirt Of timber in
which the hunters were encamped,
stretched the unbroken plain, on which,
within range of vision, quietly grazed q
small herd of buffalo, and here and there
scattered groups of antelopes. At this
sight our young hunter became excited,
and only cone more shot" before depart
ing was insisted on. Shouldering his
gun hastily he started out and was soon
lost to view as he picked his way quietly
along the river band and timber.
Nothing further was thought Of the
young mans whim by the father and his
companions, who were cooking rations
for the return trip, and peacefully smo-
king their pipes.
Young Wilson found the distance to
the game much further than he antici-
pated, but on getting within long range
shot, his presence was discovered, and q
general scamper was the result. Nothing
daunted, he continued the chase, fully
determined on the last shot and dead
buffalo. Onward he went over the plain,
through wood and thicket, regardless oi
all impediments, but four legs could
wander further than two, and he was
left far in the rear. Time had elapsed,
unheeded by him, night was upon him
for the first time he realized that he was
alone upon the vast plain, his game be-
yond his reach, and companions he knew
not whittier. His reckoning was lost,
and he stood bewildered. To add to his
misery, one of those fierce winds, SC
common in that section, came up, and
with it q driving binding sleet,, trans,
formed him into walking icicle.
Cold and benumbed he started, as he
supposed, for the wood along theravine
but instead, travelled from it-now hast
ening now slackening hispace as the cold
affected him. At length he came upon
o small clump Of bushes, underwhich be
took shelter, sat down, and was soor
asleep and lost to his lonely position.
The boy not returning in reasonable
time to the camp, his father and com.
panions became uneasy, and set out in
search of him. Guns were fred, Indian
whoops and yells indulged in to the full
extent of their lungs, but no answer
came in response. The same was CON
tinued throughout the night, AID largt
fires were kindled ON the highest emf
nences in hopes Of attracting his atten'

Tender dainty, modest thing,
Fitting phrase l cannot bring
Half to tell thy loveliness,
Half my loving to confess.
Vainly all my words choose;
Vainly all of art 1 use:
Thou art left unuttered yet,
Tender, dainty Mignonette!
] can say thou art more sweet
Than the fragrancies which meet
When the clover and the rose
Their most secret stores disclose;
can say thou art more fair
Than the buds which lilies bear:
Thou art left unuttered yet,
Tender, dainty Mignonette
can say that color sheds,
Even in show of blazing reds,
No such grace of sunny light
As in thy pale brown and white,
Mingled never twice the same,
In soft tint without a name:
Thou are left unuttered yet.
Tender, dainty Mignonette!
can say the honey-bees.
Lingering, drain thy wines last lees;
Little children to aud fro,
Carrying thy blossoms, go;
Lovers give them; subtle, mute,
Fit for Loves sweet gift and suit:
Thou art left unuttered yet,
Tender, dainty Mignonette
Now l add one more low word,
Trembling half, lest, being heard,
1t should win swift rebuke
From dear eyes, whose pleading look,
Bidding me no more reveal,
Would have power my lips to seal;
Leaving thee unutter-d yet,
Tender, dainty Mignonette!
Dainty and beloved thing,
Here thy final praise bring:
Thou art like in tender grace
One 1 know, of gentle face:
Thy soft fragrance makes the dir
Sweet, az moments are which share
Sun, with her sweet silcntness-
Shade, with her half-shy caress.
Thy pale tints one language speak
With her brow, her eye, her cheek,
Triumph in such lowly guise,
Wondering in glad surprise,
Lavishing with brimming hands.
Generons, past all bars and bands:
All We are not uttered yet,
White twin souls of Mignonette
Sweetest woman Sweetest flower!
l crown both with sweetest dover
Can be framed in human speech
When liken each to each.
Woman, sweeter than the flower,
Crowned with Loves immortal dover,
Which no love in speech can set.
Kiss me, precious Mignsnette
