called, and, passing on little way
beyond, "two lions sprang from the
bush on either side Of the road, each
selzing a horse. The mount that he
was on fell in a moment and shot him
over its head, but the hunter was on
his feet in trivet. With the right
barrel he killed the assailant of the
horse he was riding, with the left the
brute that attacked the led horse. So
quickly was the whole done that
neither of the nags was injured"
Another exploit, told of the same
hunter, is less brilliant. yet attests his
singular GOODNESS and accuracy of
aim. As night closed in, he shot a
large white rhinoceros, and left the
game to be attended TO in the morn
ing.
"At break Of day he started alone
to find his quarry, and after going
mile or so, found it dead, with three
lions around it. Mr.. Finnety strolled
up within q short distance of them
and killed the trio-each requiring
only single bullet. Soon aftcrward
having discovered an elephant-spoor,
he followed it up, and after noon
overlook the herd and bowled over
a couple of tuskers. Retracing his
steps to regain his wagon, he had to
pass by the dead rhinocerous, and
when doing so, found two more lions
beside the carcass. These he also
killed. In the morning, Mr.. Finnety
went out with his people to secure the
ivory of the elephants slain the day
before. On their route they passed
a pool in dry river bed, and by it
were two lions. He lett his people
and unsupported, walked up to them
and killed them right and LETT. Thus
seven lions tell before his gun in a
little over twenty four hours"

this morning, said she.
How could l abuse the Judge if
he was not present ?" said he.
why" says she, "you called him
a rusty, rusty fudge and old codger,
and said you did not care rye straw
more tor him than You did tor your
self"
Here the whole company were in
an uproar of laughter again. As
soon as it had a little subsidized, one
OF the gentlemen asked the landlady
how she knew that the gentleman she
was addressing was not Judge
Crane?
"He looks more like snipe than a
crane," said she.
Here the loud laughter burst forth
a third time. After little pause,
the judge said
Il must confess that l am bird of
not very fine feathers, but I assure
you that | am Crane, and crane is
often very useful instrument l saw
a very good one in your kitchen this
morning; and sometimes an instru-
ment called crane is of incalcu-
liable use, madam"
Before she had time to reply, some
of the gentlemen with whom she was
acquainted assured her that she was
talking with the presiding Judge.
Astonished and COMPOUNDED, she at
tempted some excuse, and hastily
asked his pardon for her extreme
rudeness.
The judge had by this time, unob-
served, taken from his pocket the
beautiful shawl and folded it at full
length one way, and in narrow form
the other, and it being of very fine
texture, appeared more like an elegant
sash than like a valuable shawl.
Then he arose with graceful dignity,
and with half a smile he advanced a
few steps toward the landlady saying:
cit is not my province to pardon
but to Judge; and l Judge that you
and l shall hereafter be friends, and
Judge that you will, without hesita-
ton, receive this as present, if not
pawn" So saying, he gently laid
it over her shoulders and across her
arms, saying: Take it, madam, and
do not attempt to return it, for it
was purchased on purpose for pres
ent tor you"
She hastily retired in confusion,
hardly knowing what she did, and
took with her the shawl worth twelve
dollars instead of ten, s,...-,...A,,--,--s-,..

To Pickle Peaches. To fourteen
pounds of peaches, peeled, put three
pounds of brown sugar, three tea
spoonfuls of cinnamon, three tea
spoonfuls of powdered cloves, to one
quart of strong cider vinegar. Let
the vinegar, sugar and spices boil
very little while; then put in your
peaches, and let them scald enough
to stick straw through them with
ease. Take them out, put them in an
earthen jar, seeing that the vinegar
covers them well, which must be
poured over the packed peaches.-
Place cover lightly over them the
first day; the second pour off the
vinegar, heat it to the boiling point.
and return it hot to the fruit. Re
peat this process until the peaches
are fit for use. -Four or five times
are generally enough to cure them.
Cover up tightly then. Watch from
time to time, and if the slightest fer
mentation occurs, scald the fruit once
more, Swimming off the juice and
skum that rises to the surface. These
pickles generally, however, keep adj
mirably; the main point to secure
this, being the seeing that the fruit
is freshly gathered and sound.

Discomfort.

Two boats rocked on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree;
One was in love with the harbor:
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds of fate outbore:
But held the other. longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With wistful eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow
Though sailing fair and feet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
Of tho mOsS-grown. shaded shore;
One sighs that it may enter
That harbor nevermore.
One wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and wall:
One dreams, amid the lilies,
OF q far off snowy sail.
Of all that life can teach us
There's naught as true as this
The winds OF fate blow ever
But ever blow amiss.

markable story of the prowess of q
hunter, who, less known than Cor

age and skill. Mr.. Finnety, the he

over the uncultivated plains near Ba-

THE JUDGES ADVENTURE.

Judge Crane of New York was a
very eccentric man. He was very
wealthy and was highly respected for
his public and private virtues, espec-
tally for his charitableDess to the
poor; but he always dressed in a
plain garb, and would hardly ever
wear an overcoat, whatever might be
the state Of the weather.
On the morning OF the day on
which the court was to begin, the
judge set out before light and walked
slowly on, through the hail, rain and
snow, to the appointed place. On
arriving at Poughkeepsie, cold and
wet, he walked to a tavern, where he
found the landlady and her servants
were making great preparations for
the entertainment of the judges,
lawyers, etc, The judge was deter.
mined to have some sport, and in a
pleasant tone addressed the landlady.
" l have no money, and was obliged
to come to court, and l have walked
through this dreadful storm more
than twenty miles. / am wet and
cold, dry and hungry. want some
thing to eat before the court be-
gins.
The landlady put herself in a mag
isterial posture, and put on counte-
nance of contempt.
