Broken Heart.


The Memphis 4ppeol Is RESPONSE
bic for the following
Last Saturday gentleman living
near Madison Station, on the Mem
phis and Little Rock road, left his
home to go to the village. He had
not proceeded more than two hum
dred yards, mounted ON lineap de-
scendant Of Balaam's ass, when he
encountered a great, greasy, black
bear. The bear was astonished,
and, without taking time to think,
hurried up scaly bark hickory, and
seated himself very comfortably on
a limb thirty or forty feet from the
ground. The farmer was complete
ly puzzled. If he rode back to his
house to get his gun the bear would
surely escape. He therefore tied
the mule, long-eared, melancholy
mule. forty or fifty years of age, to
the body of the tree. The mule was
brldle-wise, but no bride would
hold him, and strong leathern
cable was kept coiled about his neck.
With this he was fastened to the
tree. The farmer started to the
house, and Bruin, diyining his plans,
deemed it proper to get away. He
doubtless suspected that gun was
coming. He came slowly. down.
tearing the bark from the body of
the tree. It ratified about the sleepy
mules head, who had not yet seen
the bear, and dreamed not of the
proximity of the ugly beast. The
bear descended slowly, till he was
within five feet of the mules great,
ugly head. Then it was that the
stupid, innocent, unsuspecting mule
looked up. He had never seen a
bear before. His knees smote one
another. He grew pale in the face.
His eyes were projected from his
head-the farmer said-half a foot.
His tail was slowly lifted. the hairs
all turned awry, till it stood at an
angle of forty-five degrees above his
spinal column, and then it was that
the mule "hoved sigh and smole q
smile.'' 1t 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 twisted itself
about and re-ascended to its perch.
The mule swooningiy fell atthc base
of the tree. He lay still and ap-
parently lifeless for a time, when
Bruin again attempted the descent !;
but the terrified mule howled and
roared even more terribly and pit
eously when the bark -began to fall,
and he dashed and danced about the
tree so frantically that Bruin hesita-
ted, and finally in stupiied amaze
ment sat upon the limb upon which
he first rested. The farmer came
with his rifle. and bullet soon
stopped the pulse-beats Of the bear.
1t fell heavily beside the mule, and
strange to tell, as told to us. the
mule and bear died side by side
the one. of a mortal wound. the other
Of mortal terror. The bear was still
black as Erebus; the mules face was
already white with an indescribable
agony of mortal fear. g1f lie
