Prom the Memphis Appeal.
Hear and Mini.

Last Saturday a gentleman living near
Madison station, on the Memphis AMI
Little Rock road, left his home TO po 10
the village He had not proceeded more
than two hundred yards, mounted on A
iineal descendant OF Balaam's ass when
ne encountered great, greasy black
bear. The bear was astonished, and
without taking time to think, hurried ND
scaly-bark hickory and seated himself
very comfortably on limb, thirty or
forty feet from the ground. The farmer
was completely puzzled. II he rode back
TO his honse to get his gun the bear
would surely escape. He tied the mule,
Iong-eared melancholy mule, forty or
ty years OF age, to the body of the
tree. The mule was bridle-wise, but no
bridle would hold him. and a strong
leai hern cable was kept coied about his
meek. With this he was fastened to the
tree. The farmer started TO the house.
aud Bruin, divining his plans, deemed is
proper to get away. He doubtless ex-
pected that gun was coming. He
came slowly down, tearing the bark
from the body of the tree. 1t ratified
about the sleepy mules head, who had
not yet seen the bear, aud dreamed not
ct the proximity OF the ugly beast. The
bear descended slowly tall he was within
i've feet of the mules great ugly head.
Then it was that the stupid. innocent.
nnsusprcting mule looked up. He had
never seen bear before. His knees
smote one another. lie grew pale in
the face. His eyes were projecting fr, m
his head-the farmer said half foot.
His tail was slowly lifted, the hair turn
ed awry, till il stood at an angle of for.
ty-tive degrees above his spinal column,
and then it was that the mule "hoved
sigh and smoled smile" It was an
unearthly sound the farmer, fifty yards
away, says it shook the ground where
he stood watching the progress of events.
The bear suddenly twis e ! himself about
and reascended TO his perch. The mule
swooningly fell at the base of the tree.
He lay still and apparently lifeless Tor.
| time, when Bruin again attempted the
descent but the terrified mule howled
and roared even more terribly and pite-
ously when the bark b, gln to fall, and
he dashed and danced about the free so
trntically that Bruin hesitated, and final
ly, in stupefied amazement, sat upon the
limb upon whl;h he first It. The farmer
came with his rifle, and bullet soon
stopped the pulse beats ofthe bear. It
fell heavily beside the mule, and strange
to tell, as told to us, the mule and bear
died side by side-the one of mortal
wound, the other of mortal terror. The
bear was still black as Erebus; the mules
tace was still white with an indescriba-
ble agony of mortal fear. s r

ONE AND Two STORY MEN.-Dr.
Holmes in the "Poet at the Breakfast
Table" says "All fact collectors, who
have no aim beyond their facts, are one
story men. Two story men compare,
generalize, using the labors of the fact
collectors, as well as their own. Three
story men dealize, imagine, and predict;
their best illuminations come from
above, through the skilight. There are
minds with large ground floors that can
store ahindefnite amount Of knowledge /;
some librarians, Tor instance, who know
enoagh of books to help other people
without being able TO make much use of
their knowledge, have iptellects OF this
class. Your great working lawyer has
two specific stories his mind is clear
because his mental floors are large, aud
he has time to arrange his thoughts so
that he cao get at them17facts below,
principles above, and all in ordered se--
ries. Poets are often narrow below, 10
capable of of clear statement, and with
power OF consecutive reasoning, but full
oflight, ifsometimes rather bare OF fur
niture, in the attic. 1sf

Coolne. sin Danger.

There may he herOism in every day life
greater than that on the battlefield One who
could maintain cool courage in circumstances
like the following, would lie brave anywhere:
A French paper relates that at vii.
lage near Florenville (Luxembourgh),
gentleman walking along the side of a
wood saw some bees swanninp on a
struggling branch of an oak tree. He
went TO fetch a hive, and returned with
a wood-cutter named Guiot who climbed
the tree, and sitting astride the branch,
cut off the extremity of it upon which the
swarm hung. And unexpected result
follpwed instead of falling to the
ground, the swarm dispersed, and rising
like whirlwind, settled on the head Of
unlucky Iuiot, who was still sitting on
the branch, forty-tive feet from the
ground fad
Tie bystanders shuddered. Surely
they thought, he will be seized with gid
diness, and tortured by a thousand stiBgs
he must fall to the ground. But Guiot
called up all his strength of mind and re.
mained until the swram had formed two
long wreaths banging from his temples
and waving as he moved then, half
blinded by the insects, which also cover
ed his face and body, he eontrved TO de-
cend from his elevated position, taking
the greatest care not to irritate this iv-
ilg mantle.
When he arrived on terra .frma hive
was placed on his shoulder, but three
hours elapsed before the bees would take
possession of their new home. When
this happy change was effected the poor
wood wild delight testified TO the
intensity of the anxiety and discomfort
he had endured. rsg sr4 ~

We sometimes meet people who seem
to have no capacity for thinking OF, or
taking an interest iii any thing outside
of their own personal atfiirs. Such men
grow narrow, hard, and selfish. Even
from a selfish point OF view they make a
great mistake. Life 10 Them is meagre
aud barren Their resources Of lrppi
ness grows smaller and smaller The
opposite side OF this is the habit which
our religion eommends and eajoins. An
active self.saGi6eing interest in whatev.
.er concerns the wcll-bsipg loIel olhgrs IL
the first among our Cbrs ian obligations.
This habit, like other Christian duties,
is to be cherished, regulated aud brovi-
ded tor as an essential element iii our
plan of life. lll h3HB nHRr tQai

didn't have murder in his heart. A few
minutes sutficed to put things in their
true light, although I could not speak
a word of Spanish and he was almost
equally ignorant of English. He made
me understand by words and signs that
he had lost all his money playing monte
the night before; and now wanted to
sell me back my pistol for couple OF
ounces.
He was awake when got up, and
intended to make the offer before my
leavin.. My sudden departure, how
ever, prevented his doing so, and he
therefore speedily jumped on the feet
est horse in the lot and started in pur-
suit. Mortified and ashamed of myself,
for having been so terribly frightened
without cause, I gladly gave the fellow
the money he asked, and resumed pos
session of my revolver. He then as
sisted me to catch my horse, and on
taking leave I gave him to understand
that if he wanted to be my friend for
he must never say word about this
adventure.

ENrERpmsE IN BUSINESS. There is d
woman in Washington who has buried
five husbands. Recently she mar ried
a sixth. Upon the day of the wedding
a man called at the house Of the groom
and asked for that gentleman, and then
proceeded to measure his body with
tape line. The infatuated groom en-
tertained an idea that this might per-
haps be man sent around by his tail
or. After the ceremony in the church
however, the husband was surprised to
observe this same person standing in
the vestibule and winking at the bride
as the party came out to the carriages.
Just as they were starting of, the
mysterious being put his head into tho
carriage-window and whispered to the
bride: " Got a ready made one that II

ed the name of the intruder, tho bribs
blushed and said she helievetlhe was
some kind of aii undertaken. Then tho
man was not SO happy. He was hard
ly happy at all, and a certain gloom
seemed to overcast the honeymoon.
Perhaps the undertaken was rather to
prompt. But still we like to see man
take an interest in his buiness.
